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!“

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

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.“

“We have dined at Ciro's a few times before. We ordered from the regular menu even though it was restaurant week. Everyone's food was prepared to their liking and enjoyed. The desserts were decadent but quite delicious. The service was slow, but we didn't mind because we were not in a rush. We will be back.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“the chicken burgers though 🤗“

“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!“

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

“We had my daughter’s communion here with 20 people and it surpassed our expectations. All of the food was delicious, our waitress was terrific and everyone had a great time.

“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 :)“

“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!!“

“Just had their Cream of Mussel soup from the Greenlawn Ruvo Market. Man that was about the best soup I’ve ever had. I’ve spent a lot of time in New England and have had my fair share of NE Clam Chowder. They know how to do soup up there but Ruvo has them beat by a mile. Bravo, Chef!“

“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.“

“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.

Waiter was very attentive and well versed on the menu. Would DEFINITELY come again. Thanks for a wonderful meal!“

“We always enjoy the food from La Piazza, but tonight we were especially impressed by the integrity of your delivery driver, Eduar. We accidentally gave him $300 instead of $100 in cash, and he immediately texted us and returned to our door to give back the extra $200. In a world where honesty isn’t always guaranteed, his kindness and professionalism truly stood out. Just wanted to share how grateful we are—people like Eduar make us proud to support your restaurant!“
