25 Best Italian Restaurants near Cutchogue

“The food is amazing and the staff is incredible. We had a blast there last evening. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Born in New York and grew up in Huntington. This is my First time at Romas and visiting mom from Virginia, my son has never been to any authentic New York pizza joints. So when we tried Roma’s, he had the Sicilian and he told the owner “it’s the best pizza he ever ate”. Coincidentally the owner knows Tony from our local pizza place in Virginia. Real glad we got up for some real New York pizza before leaving to go home in little ol’ Virginia.“

“Maroni's is such a gem in the middle of Southold. The Sushi Tuesdays are INCREDIBLE and the truffle grilled cheese is to absolutely DIE for. Kristen & Amber are 2 of the best on the North Fork and if you've not had their meatball pot yet I IMPLORE you to do so. And this is coming from someone who doesnt eat meatballs outside her Nonna's kitchen.

I can not express this enough but make reservations and enjoy the fact that the place deals in cash/check/zelle only and that the prices on the menu reflect tax & tip so you can know exactly what you're spending in advance.“

“We visited on Saturday evening during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. From the moment we entered through the front door, we were welcomed by big smiles, big smells of delicious food, and what felt like a warm hug from a good friend. Classic and palette awakening cocktails. Try the brandade fritters and the best Caesar salad I have ever enjoyed. Sea bass was fresh out of the waters that surround the east end. The burger and the roasted chicken. For sides we ordered the onion gratin, romanesco and French fries. Surprise banana split for dessert. Delicious! See you again soon. Happy Holidays!“

“This charming roadside take out and restaurant goes way beyond expectations. The dining rooms are proper and attractive. The atmosphere is more European bistro/cafe/trattoria than NY Deli. The service is very good. The Italian/American menu is extensive. And the food is outstanding and a great value. Highly Recommended.“

To our pleasant surprise we had a wonderful meal with excellent wine pairings suggested by our server, we loved our lunch so much we decided on having dinner at their NYC location the next evening, needless to say it was magnificent! Looking forward to trying the other locations….“

“The food is excellent and the pizza is even better. There once a week. You will be pleased.“

“Chef John Gambino and his team are welcoming. The service was excellent and he came around and visited the patrons at the tables and bar. His Sicilian cooking reminded me of my Sunday dinners at home. The filet of sole, vegetarian lasagna, caponata and eggplant parmigiana were delicious. Thank you for a great experience. Maria Pia“

“Had such a great night. Sat at the bar and was treated so nicely by the bartender. Great drinks - my boyfriend thought it was best Manhattan he has ever had! Food is delicious, atmosphere is great for a date night. Had the racelette, pork schnitzel and the special osso bucco. All beyond delicious!!“

“We ordered Eggplant Rollatini, meatballs with spaghetti, salad and garlic bread with cheese....OMG it was so good. We will definitely go back!!“

“This place is very warm and cozy. Loved the fireplace. Its darker inside for my liking. The food absolutely delicious with good portion sizes for the price. Unfortunately, you cannot order single slices for the pizza so I didn’t try it. The garlic knot was very different, but still good. We tried ordering dessert but were told kitchen was closed and only could get ice cream and it was still fairly early before closing time. Overall it was a good experience.“

“I am a Shipt shopper and travel to Riverhead once or twice a week. After a long day, I always look for something fast, delicious, and satisfying. Since I love Italian food, I googled an Italian restaurant nearby and came across Lenny Pizza & Bistro.

My first visit was on September 22, 2025, when I ordered the baked ziti, sautéed spinach, and garlic knots. This was actually my first time ever having freshly baked garlic knots—and they were incredible! That entire meal was so delicious, I knew I’d be back.

On September 29, 2025, I returned and tried the meat lasagna with the sautéed spinach and garlic knots—it was absolutely perfect. Yesterday, I found myself craving that lasagna again and just had to go back. Once more, I ordered the meat lasagna, spinach, and garlic knots, and it was every bit as amazing as the last time.

The food here is consistently fresh, flavorful, and comforting—exactly what I need after a long workday. I can honestly say Lenny Pizza & Bistro has quickly become my go-to spot in Riverhead. Highly recommend!

“Lovely dinner with my family last night. Waitstaff could have came around to keep drinks full and make sure our needs were met. Food was delicious but someone needs to please clean that pizza oven. Burn bottom and crust was a bummer as everything else was very nice. Photo is my take home slices. All three pies were this way. Such a shame. My family came from MA.“
