50 Best Italian Restaurants near Centerport

“We came from upstate to go to a concert. We had every intention of going out to dinner and last minute decided to order in. So happy we did! Timothy's did not disappoint. EVERYTHING was outstanding from the pizza to the wings to the antipasto! Would highly recommend if you live or stay in the area!!!“

“My wife and I are pizza fanatics specifically Neapolitan style. A hybrid gas, wood fire grill that makes a near perfect pie. We split a Margherita and Mushroom pie.

The Cesar salad was great, a touch of lemon zest and crispy lettuce.

The meatballs were high quality and this is coming from a self proclaimed meatball master.

This place is an absolute MUST!“

“The food is out of this world. The servers are professional and patient. My husband and I felt great, relaxed and we were able to talk unlike other restaurants that you can't hear people on your table.“

“What a great restaurant! Angelo and Oscar run a tight ship. Can’t wait to revisit.“

“We had an incredible dinner. The service was impeccable and the food delicious.“

“Attended a baby shower this afternoon...food was delicious... lovely venue...would love to return for dinner! Wonderful place for a private party, too!“

“Amazing baked clams!!! Amazing Drinks!!“

“Celebrated my husband's birthday at George White Restaurant on a Sunday evening. Great menu with lots of choices for every taste. I chose Steak Au Poivre from the Prix Fixe, husband and daughter had Chicken Cordon Bleu and Chicken Cacciatore. Everything was excellent and our server, Cathy, was fantastic.“

“Great restaurant. Awesome food and service. Can get loud and crowded on the weekend“

“The food is amazing ,every dish. The portions from the appetizers to the meals are above the average restaurant.“

“Dinner was great. When the waiter came to take our order we wanted to just order the appetizers and then continue to figure out what we wanted for dinner and we were told we had to place the entire order together. We have been here many times and never had to do that before so we had to quickly figure out our meal so we could get some food. The food is always good we were a party of five. We hope they change the way they require the entire order together be placed.“

“Delicious home cooked Italian food. Relaxing warm and cosy atmosphere.“

“This place is amazing. The food is delicious. I enjoyed the crab cocktail and the lobster crêpes the people there are awesome and the place is nice fancy.“

“We moved off Long Island over 8 years ago and always loved la Parma when we lived here even though it was an hour drive for us to enjoy the amazing food. This time when we came up to visit for Christmas we knew we had to get there for a great dinner. I can easily say it still is one of the best places to get amazing Italian food around. The Chicken Napoli was phenomenal and there is nothing like their penne à la vodka! The drinks were great and service was top notch. We also happened to go the day after Christmas when we got lots of snow and the car valet even brushed off our car! We were so happy to not feel rushed because we were there with great friends and just really enjoying ourselves! We can’t wait to come back and visit from Georgia to have their food again!“

“Our first time dining but certainly won't be our last time. Great local Italian restaurant. Atmosphere is great and very welcoming staff is terrific and friendly. The menu is fantastic with many delicious dishes. It's great that they have their own parking lot. Their prices are very reasonable for the quality that they provide. It certainly will be on our regular dining schedule.“

“Can I please give 20 Stars???
The food is amazing
The service is amazing
Andy is like the guru of this place every time
I have yet to get anything here that wasn't other than terrific.
On the Butcher items - am I that good a chef? Well according to family and friends yes!! But put that aside if the cuts are junk the result is too

A&S Huntington is my go to always - I literally go there 3-4 times a month sometimes more“

“My best friend and I have been coming to Piccolo for over 10 years, we came upon it after a long shopping day. We were famished and had one of the most delicious meal. Fast forward to today, it has been the place where we always meet for girls night, commemorating key life events such as the night before I got engaged and my friends 30th birthday. The food, ambiance and service is incredible, kudos to the management here.“

“Food and the service was awesome. Reasonably priced. Relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend.“

“So good. We have been going there for 20+ yrs and it's always great. Love the fact that I can get half portions of the pasta dishes. My staple “go to” pasta is always the Linguine Nere Con Gamberi but this time I got (half portion of) the Cacio E Pepe. So good! Our friends had the lamb chops and the Chilean sea bass which were also excellent. Cocktails are always amazing too.“

“Friendly service Excellent food“

“the chicken burgers though 🤗“

“Staff were very attentive food was delicious nice atmosphere.“

“I have been ordering from them for years. They always deliver a tasty meal for a great price. Sandwiches, pasta or pizza, they have the best food in town!“

“Always the best, food is delicious and very consistent, the staff is exceptional.“

“I finally went after hearing about the great food in a Huntington-centric FB group, and the hype is real! So, so good! Definitely worth me taking a different way home from work so I could pass by. Oh!! And for the introverted people like myself, as of either yesterday or today, they can be found on GrubHub!! Great news for those of us who don’t like being on the phone :)“

“Great food, atmosphere and staff!!! I highly recommend! Yum“

“Amazing experience for first time at the Southold location. Same delicious food and great music as in Northport.\nTonight we had an option for a mini tasting menu and start to finish all was amazing. Kristin in front of house and our server Gabriel were wonderful as well. Service with a smile to say the least. \nAnd to end with the best crème brûlée made this birthday dinner an absolute treat. \nSuch a gem in Southold.“

“We came here for weekday lunch. Our server Emily was amazing! She was exceptionally personable and communicated with us about delays in the kitchen since the restaurant was serving a large party. She continued to check up on us and was very sweet. Eggplant rollatini and cheesy garlic bread were delicious appetizers. For entrees, we had the penne alla vodka (portion was a bit smaller than expected) as well as the chicken marsala, chicken parm, and arugula pie, which were all good. This place is a bit pricy but it is an upper/mid range Italian restaurant. The actual dining area is cozy and intimate. They have a cute bar area upon walking in. Parking lot is a bit cramped but doable. We had a great time!“

“Really, everything - the service, the food, the atmosphere. It’s all perfect.“

The family style food was perfect and we had a wide selection to choose from. I would definitely recommend Porto Fino for a party.“

“I had dinner at Salute with my friends last night (Friday evening). The food was delicious from appetizers to dessert we enjoyed every bite. They serve large portions. We took half of it home. The drinks were amazing. The hardest part was deciding what to eat. There were so many choices on the menu. All mouth watering! The staff were so friendly and attentive they make you feel like family. The place was packed with people of all ages. The live music was so good, couple got up and started dancing others sang along. Salute at Plainview is a great place to meet friends, meet for a romantic date, or simple stop by my yourself when you rather be with a community of people who always make you feel welcome and very special.“

“Sorry to have to leave a negative review. Been a customer for many years but the last two experiences were horrible.
First went for the lunch special restaurant wasn’t crowded and sat at bar as usual. Waited over 45 minutes for a hamburger. This was a little bit annoying.
Visited again last night with a friend for the Thursday Steamed Lobster Special. The lobster was brought to the table blacked I questioned why and said it must be broiled because every steamed lobster in my life time is red not black. The waiter took it to the kitchen and said the chef said it was steamed ( I mean really) next up it was supposed to come with roasted potatoes the waiter brought French Fries which he should have advised of the menu change. The blackened lobster was over cooked and not tasty at all. It was a really bad dining experience Obviously the so called chef doesn’t know how to steam a lobster and over cooked it.
Moving on I will no longer be a patron of this establishment“

“The staff and have delicious cannoli“

“Came for a Valentines lunch with wife. Started with the bake clams that were incredibly fresh and tasted GREAT! Wife had the seafood salad that she was RAVING about. I had the veal parm which was excellent. Sauce was well done and NOT OVER SALTED. Really enjoyed very much! For desert had a cannoli that was awesome. Waiter was very attentive and well versed on the menu. Would DEFINITELY come again. Thanks for a wonderful meal!“

“Penne Lane Ravoli are the best!! Old world taste - the most similar to the ravioli my Mom used to purchase from a local creamy when I was a child. Best tasting I've ever had for sure.“

“We had a Mothers Day celebration Sunday at this fabulous seafood restaurant. There were 15 of us- 9 adults and six children between 5 and 12. We traveled an hour to get there. The food was delicious- fresh, tasty and the portions were so large that everyone took a doggy bag home. It was served by a great staff including Angel who was our server. The owner, Donna, was very cordial and friendly. Everyone had a great time. We can't wait for our next family dinner to return. This is a must restaurant if you are a seafood lover!!“

“There is no Place like Robkes food is top notch never disappoints. I cant wait to go back glad i live in the area 😊☺️🙏🏻👍💗it is unbelievable the lunch prices are half dinner price. so you are def getting bang for your buck. I almost want to keep it a secret but looks like the secret is out ,).“
