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!“

“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!“

“Can I please give 20 Stars???

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“

“Excellence at Every Visit
As many of my followers know, I don’t believe in one-and-done restaurant reviews. Real opinions come from returning multiple times to understand the consistency, quality, and service over time. That’s how a restaurant earns the label of being truly great.

Last night we returned to Piccolo and once again it delivered.

A warm greeting, a quick stop at the bar, running into friends for some laughs, and then a beautiful dinner with my wife in one of Huntington’s most charming dining rooms. Even with a lively crowd, the atmosphere somehow melts into the background and lets you focus on the moment and the person across the table.

Jeremy took great care of us while Jason stopped by to check in, something that always makes the experience feel personal.

We started with the wedge salad and a thoughtful complimentary tuna tartare that was bright, fresh, and beautifully balanced with avocado.

My wife chose the Orecchiette Caroline — perfectly balanced with hot & sweet sausage, broccoli rabe, tomatoes, garlic and oil.

I went with the weekly special Braised Boneless Beef Short Rib with horseradish cream, rich jus, crispy onions, vegetables and mashed potatoes — tender, flavorful and beautifully presented.

We finished with their house-made carrot cake and cappuccino, which remains one of my favorites.

Piccolo continues to deliver warm hospitality, exceptional food, and that perfect romantic neighborhood atmosphere that keeps us coming back.

Some restaurants you try once.
Others become favorites you return to again and again.

Piccolo is one of them. 🍷🍝“

“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!!“

“The food is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!“

“Great consistent food. Priced very fairly. Great atmosphere. Enjoy seeing Todd O and Richie. It's like the 90s and Sprats. We are just missing Danny S.“

“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 :)“

“Best food Round and the portions are awesome.“

“DELICIOUS food with wonderful, accommodating waitstaff. They always take my request to make the gnocchi with the hay & straw cream, mushroom snd truffle oil pasta sauce. I go here for birthdays celebrations to brunches as often as I can. Try their Malbec and flourless chocolate cake which is naturally gluten-free—in fact, their brunches have almost all gluten-free options. The coffee is smooth and just wonderful. The outdoor dining experience is as if you are at a party in Europe. They already see me often for 10 years—I love food and this gets my repeat business. Try it at least! See if it becomes a favorite of yours!“

“Food was amazing. Service was excellent, especially Grace and Jay.“

“Amazing food, excellent service, great prices and family friendly atmosphere!“

“Such a nice place almost want to keep it a secret 5 stars Hands down thank you“

“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.“

“Amazing dinning experience despite the crazy noisy atmosphere! Expresso martinis were insanely on point. Caesar salad and capellini cakes were superb. Chicken martini , Bronx chicken parm and pasta were delizio. Can’t wait to return.“
