50 Best Italian Restaurants near Cedarhurst

“Amazing food' nice waitres“

“The food is excellent and their customers are important to them. They always go that extra mile to please them. The food is always fresh & “delish” (from their wonderful breakfasts to their homemade salads, chef’s salads, sandwiches…especially their Tambi’s Special…to their hearty home cooked meals). I don’t know anyone who doesn’t speak highly of Tamburino’s.“

“Great food, even better customer service!“

“Everything is great. Coming here over 25 yes. One thing I noticed who's overall incharge he is no Tony. And never will be. Stained tablecloth oil bottle on table dirty and greasy. Dirty windows. Tony would never have put up with that. I also miss his cooking. It's the little things. But Tony would never put up with this. Everything had to be perfect.“

“What a great addition to the neighborhood. I called last minute on a busy Saturday night to see if they could squeeze two people in at 7:30pm and they were able to accommodate us. Got there and we were seated right away.

Menu is short but that’s what I want from a quality restaurant. We went with the burrata appetizer, eggplant parmigiana, chicken milanese and penne vodka. Everything was delicious to say the least.

We topped the night off with the tiramisu which is ridiculously good.

We ordered a few glasses of wine and they were ok but we weren't blown away by them but possibly its a different quality for glass vs bottle. It didn’t take away from the evening for us.

The wait staff was slammed but they were all attentive when asked for something and we were not rushed out the door at all despite being a busy Saturday.

Everyone here is fantastic & we can’t wait to return. Do yourself a favor and book a reservation (don’t wait until the last minute 😜).“

“Great service and food. Great view of the bay. Parking in easy.“

“Absolutely adore coming here. The service is attentive but not overbearing. The food is top notch with great selections. It’s a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion, or just to treat yourself. The manager Pure is friendly, and Gian who has been our waiter the last two times is wonderful. Top notch place.“

“My daughter had her sweet 16 there and the place and service was amazing. Food was great! Phil and his staff were awesome. They were very attentive always made sure we had what we needed. I would recommend WM to anyone looking for a formal event,“

“Love the food, the owners support the community and their staff is very friendly and welcoming“

“The food was amazing. The service superb! What more could you want??!! This was our first time here - and we definitely will be back - loved it!“

“Cala Luna is by far the best restaurant in Mineola. Their lack of advertising and marketing keeps their business down. I recommend highly to anyone to try this place, they will not be disappointed.“

“Hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner here and we are SO glad did - everything was perfect! Everyone could not get over how delicious all the food was. Danny worked with us to create a menu that was tailored to us and our guests and we got SO much food included in the package we did. He also worked with us to create table arrangements that worked best for our event. I was worried at first that the space only being partially private and not a true private room would be an issue but it was not at all! We really didn’t need it and were happy to still get to enjoy the Sinatra singer that plays for the restaurant that night. He even came over and sang for our party and had us dance which was not expected but a fun surprise that we loved! Overall we had a great event here and I am so happy we chose them to host it!“

“Great Food and great service! Buffalo chicken slice is the go-to!“

“Came here on recommendation. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the salmon and it was the best salmon I have ever eaten. The chicken francese was also spectacular. Our waiter, Roberto went above and beyond. The manager made a point to check in at every table. I can not recommend this restaurant enough. It is a must visit.“

“excellent wait staff. manager, always accomidating to your needs. food dabulous..lamb chops fantastic. they will try and accommodate all your needs. book a reservationn4 the weekend.“

“This Italian restaurant has been serving the community for 28 years, and it’s easy to see why. The service is warm and welcoming, the food is delicious（especially dessert!!!), and the prices are fair. It may not be fancy or Instagram-worthy, but it’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back“

“highly recommend. everyone always asks where we cater from. nothing is ever left!! delicious food always. the string bean salad is one of my favorties. the raviolis are made fresh there. if you want an amazing meal go see them!“

“My wife and I really enjoyed the entire setting family style dinning. We both love eggplant very much the seasonings were not salty or spicy plenty of sauce stuffed with fresh ricotta cheese. All of what we could see were large entrees no fru fru at all. This is another local good place to dine in Floral Park.“

“Amazing food and Italian experience! The family atmosphere, menu specials presentation, and food make for an unbelievable experience. You are a part of their family for an evening, and boy are you lucky!“

“My wife and I celebrated our 43rd anniversary this week. We went to la Parma- I had been there before and my wife has not but was always looking to go. Well we went tonight to celebrate and we weren’t disappointed. The food was great and plentiful, the service was very attentive and the experience was great. Thank you to Rudy who took care of us and thank you to all the people involved who made the night a great experience.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A true Italian Joint ! Amatriciana, Carbonara and Cacio e Pepe made to perfection! . Appetizers are very good as well my favorite is the fried artichokes. Tried the special mozzarella in carrozza with anchiove and it was very good. Portions are plentiful and it's a high quality pasta. Highly recommend!“

“First time me and my son loved their seafood is fresh and delicious compliments to the Chef“

“Celebrated my 55th birthday dinner last night here and it was delish. Everything was great ! Can’t wait to go back !“

“Great food. People are really nice as well.“

“Family place...always good...and very reasonable...like eating at momma's....Really a well kept secret by those who think food is more important than a perfectly lit room...must try....you will make friends there.“

“I enjoyed this restaurant and experience and would 100% go back. The polenta fries were yummy but very salty and the arugula salad was also really good (maybe toast the pine nuts for future?). The eggplant parm was okay and my friend said it may have been lacking something. I had the clam pizza and it was very good! I love clam pizza and this is up there on the list. My friend ordered the $50ish steak and while it was good, there was too much inedible fat on it (hence the 3 rating on food). The potatoes and onions that came with it were apparently delicious!“

“The pan seared roasted chicken is amazing!!! My family and I found this place a few weeks ago. It's a beautifully decorated, clean and fairly new establishment with a very polite staff. My children have had the ravioli, the penne and the chicken fingers and each loved their meals. It's a hidden gem that we are happy to have found :)“

“We were attending an event at Queens College and wanted to have a lunch/dinner afterwards, so we searched for restaurants nearby. There were many choices, but I was impressed by the website and menu for Piccolo Sogno. Following the event, joined by four friends, my wife and I made the short drive to the restaurant. It was a hot day, and at first we said we would like to dine inside. But the gracious host said we were welcome to check the outside seating first--and we're so glad we did! In the lovely, covered garden, we comfortably began a great feast! Piccolo Sogno has a nice selection of wines and beers as well as sparkling water. That was followed by delicious Calamari Fritti (done to perfection) and a Hot Antipasto Sampler with more calamari, baked clams, eggplant rolatini and amazing fried shrimp. We followed that with Pollo Alla Francese (some of the best I've ever had), Spaghetti Carbonara, Penne Vodka, and Insalata Dello Chef with chicken. These were served with generous side orders of Caesar salad or pasta. The service was friendly, courteous and at a pace that made for a wonderful afternoon. Even though we were extremely well-filled, we ordered dessert, and are so glad we did! The Limoncello Flute was one of the best desserts we've had, as was the Chocolate Mousse. Some iced expresso (wait until you see the special way it is layered!) and coffee would have been the end of a perfect meal, but then Chef Maurizio himself came out to spend some time at our table. After a nice conversation, he took this selfie shot of us all. As we left, the wonderful staff of the restaurant all greeted us and thanked us for coming. I can't remember the last time that happened in such a warm and spontaneous way. I could not more highly recommend a restaurant. We live in Manhattan and have our choice of some of the best restaurants anywhere--but actually, I look forward to returning to Piccolo Sogno!“

“They renovated recently and I wonder if the place changed hands. The ambience and food have lost some old world Italian charm and depth. Everything was very good but we went there previously because it was phenomenal. It was just good this time. It's all relative I suppose.“

“Our first time here, based upon reviews and vicinity to our home. While the food was tasty, hot and nice portions, the service was terrific the overall atmosphere was lacking. It was excessively loud, small and cramped dining area. The seating should have been about 25 not the sqeezed in seating of 36, when we sat to ate.
I recommend reservations, like we had, to sit for dinner, even on a Sunday.
My wife had the pear & walnut salad, the fusilli pasta & sausage and Italian (made in-house) cheesecake. All were great. I had the watermelon & feta salad, salmon piccata with veggies and pistachio Gelato.

It is average market priced.
Clean environment, and bathroom, but the kitchen door to the dinning room should have remained closed.
We will try it again in the near future.“

“Atlantic Pizzeria on Atlantic Ave in Freeport NY- It was my first time visiting this restaurant today and though I don’t normally write reviews, I felt compelled to state what a wonderful establishment! My daughter, who is very shy, spilled a drink in there and the workers replaced it immediately at no charge and cleaned it up right away! As a parent, this meant the world to me because I did not want her to feel uncomfortable.. thank you and we will be back! Please support!“

“Poly is a great person , the first sausage sandwich I’ve ever eaten was from this food truck about 20 years ago, and guess what , will be no other Italian sausage sandwich I’ll eat, the freshness and the quality here is incomparable, thank you POLY🫡“

“Best place to celebrate a birthday, yesterday we.celebrated to my wife with the people’ church and some friends, and it was great experience, the delicious food, the gourmet gastronomy, the service is the best, the kindness people and the excellence of the place was wonderful, highly recommended, it’s the favorite place to have a dinner with my family and friends“

“My go to place for special occasions. Mike always makes us feel at home. Not only is the food fantastic, but the staff is helpful and kind. They even went out of their way to help my handicap mother get in and out of the car! Food is delicious and tons of variety when compared to the standard Italian restaurant. Great portions and even a decent amount of healthy options. Thank you to the staff for making my night even more special!“

“Meta always goes above and beyond for a fabulous dining experience. This past Sunday, I called to see if it was possible to bring in an Elvis impersonator for my Dad who is in remission from cancer. Not only was Roberto and his staff receptive to the idea, the whole restaurant was singing along with Elvis and all of us. This night was truly magical and I cannot thank Roberto and his staff enough for making my Dad’s dining experience so memorable. The food was amazing, the drinks were flowing and the dessert was delicious. If you haven’t tried Meta, I highly recommend this fine restaurant for a wonderful night 🎉“

“Really good place for special occasions, the service is excellent and the food it’s amazing, I have been twice and I am coming back because the food is fresh and delicious, everything you get there !“

“One of the best Italian restaurants in Lynbrook or anywhere else. They use the freshest and highest quality ingredients and prepare the food exquisitely. I ordered takeout tonight for six people in my extended family and served it family style, and everyone was raving about the food. We ordered Scallops Oreganato, Shrimp Stuffed with Crabmeat, Chicken Francese, Zuppe di Clams White Sauces and a few appetizers and it was all superbly prepared. Several of us were from other towns and repeatedly asked me how to find this place so they could visit in the near future.“

“This is my favorite restaurant! The food is excellent, no matter what you order. The sauce reminds me of my mom's. The staff is great,! The waiter didn't even need to write down our orders. Everything was perfect ! Even on a Sunday night the place was packed. I highly recommend this place. One tip make reservations. You can call or even better go on the website and book online“

“Exciting menu, never a disappointment. Their Seafood festival is to die for.“

“Ordered for the first time last night, they were super accommodating since we called at 8:45 and they close at 9:00…. They made us 5 pies and I’m was so appreciative. They were so nice and even recommended one which I absolutely loved (with potatoes!) we can’t wait to go back but to eat there so we get the Pizza Hut out of the oven! Amazing owners and such a delight to have in valley steam!! The owner explained the ingredients and concept to my husband and his friend. They can’t back telling us so about it!“

“Great food period. Good ambiance great wine. The place is spacious great staff we had a good time. We loved the appetizers & main course I hadDover Sole it was light & delish.“

“Nice huge portions , delicious food, great service ! We will be back.“

“I was recently there for a graduation dinner that just so happened to be father’s day, My server Vanessa made sure we felt welcomed and provided top service. It was so refreshing to receive such amazing service on such a busy day, especially for such a big group at such a late time. Thank you so much Vanessa!!“

Service 10/10 - Dina, you're the BEST
Atmosphere 10/10

Everything I had was top notch.

I look forward to coming back. Everyone was so nice and I felt welcomed. You can't beat that!!!“

“Gluten free menu was fantastic! Thank you so much!“

“The staff are so friendly and the food is outstanding. Great experience for my son’s post Graduation ceremony dinner. Highly recommend! 🍝“

“Such a small spot and because of that the service is so slow intimate and personal. A true gem. The staff are all wearing tuxedos and it is a great look for the cozy atmosphere. Menu prices are for 10/12/26. This place is reservation only so call them during their lunch service to make a dinner reservation. Rockville Centre so parking is available if you walk from the parking lots.“

“Spolini’s restaurant never disappoints! Their wmaitre d’ and wait staff are friendly and professional. Their menu offers authentic Italian fare, as well as some grill options, as specials. We dine there at least once a week and enjoy our meals each and every time! It’s a warm neighborhood restaurant with delicious food and wonderful service!“

“Loved it here! Just stopped in at the spur of the moment and I am so glad I did! Felt like I was in a Manhattan Bar! Eva the bartender was great and so was the rest of the staff. Felt like I was with friends.“

“We drove out to Long Island to meet our friends for lunch in Woodmere. We ordered several dishes and shared all. We also had a couple of mixed drinks. Food and drinks were delicious and the service was excellent. Very friendly and efficient
A very relaxing place to have lunch. In a shopping center so lots of parking near the door.“
