50 Best Italian Restaurants near Delmar

“The staff is absolutely awesome. Make sure to get a reservation as the place fills up fast. The place is nice but by the time we were nearing the end of our dinner, the place was packed and conversation was near impossible. They need to install a noise-absorbing ceiling or something to help minimize that.“

“super deliciosas mucho mejor que las de P.R. el personal muy atento y servicial“

“Pollo alla Rusa, perfection, bread and butter, perfection, vegetables, perfection, portion sizes ample. BYOB Chef seasoned my meal expertly! Atmosphere could use a bit of upgrading. Best real Italian meal I have had in Florida.“

“This place is by far the best Italian restaurant in Albany! The food is amazing we did the eight course meal and everything was amazing. The meatballs were awesome. The octopus is the best I've ever had anywhere even the salad with this fresh vinaigrette lemon and pepper. The entree the pasta is perfect the sauce is clearly homemade. I would recommend this place without hesitation you would not be disappointed.“

“Bacchus has been the best most under-rated pizza in the area…in NY..for years. However something changed recently. I don’t know if it was a one-off but their flour or dough changed. Not in a good way. What happened?!?“

“Italian Japanese in Albany. Who knew?

Fun, creative fusion dishes. Japanese Curry pasta with scallops and shrimp. Cornish hen with togarashi, cipolini onions and mashed potatoes. No sushi, teriyaki or other generic Japanese restaurant items.

Very cool cocktail and mocktail options.

Austere decor. Energetic staff. Definitely worth it.“

“We stumbled on the place by chance and were not disappointed. The bartender, Jill was very friendly. Our meals were full of flavor. My husband got the chicken parm and I the barramundi. Finished by a tiramisu martini with a side of tiramisu. Sooooo good. We will definitely go back! Oh! The fresh bread and olive oil topped with tapenade was delish as well!“

“Absolutely wonderful experience! I took 12 employees out to celebrate the holiday season and see a show in Albany. From the time we called for a reservation, right through dinner, the entire staff, and especially our server Casey were so welcoming and accommodating. The drinks, food, and service were all superb! Casey made us feel like we were the only thing that mattered in the restaurant, while the kitchen and bar handled some special requests with ease! In a world where the meaning of hospitality seems to have been forgotten by so many, this restaurant still knows what it means, and executes flawlessly. I highly recommend, and will definitely be back when in the Albany area. (I may even have to make a special trip back just for this restaurant!)“

“Fantastic subs and salads with delightful and friendly guys putting them together. I hope it never changes because the quality of everything they offer is excellent. The price of the food is very fair compared to other shops. I don’t want cold cuts everyday but I only purchase the Boar’s Head brand that is used for their subs.“

“My VERY FAVORITE restaurant ❤️❤️❤️“

“Sat at the bar and was served by Vinnie. Vinnie was super nice and we had great conversations. Gabriella was also very smiley and friendly (she drinks a lot of water lol [inside joke]). I ordered the veal cordon bleu and my adult son had the lasagna. I’ve been to Italy and this meal was just as good, if not better, than some of the food I ate in Rome, Gaeta or Naples. The food was nice and hot, the bread was perfect and the everything was tasty. Great job we will definitely be back!“

“The food, service & ambience were all superb!! 5⭐️“

“Best coffee in Albany, flavor and comfort guaranteed!“

“Fast, friendly service. Great food!“

“5 stars.Best in Albany. Been coming here since I was a kid,in the 90s.“

“Just this evening, I ordered take out from the wrong location. I called Stuyvesant plaza instead of Slingerlands. When I called Stuyvesant about the mistake the manager said, “ No problem”. What’s your address ? I will drive it out to you. Within a 1/2 hour this awesome guy Justin pulled into my driveway with all our food. Hot food and cold salad !! Thank you. Way to go!!“

“custimer service is excellant but most of all their pizza is the best of the of the best keep the good work up you all rock“

“Fast, friendly service. Great food!“

“We had our first-ever meal today at Capriccio on the Green at Pinehaven Country Club in Guilderland, New York, and the entire experience was spectacular!

My wife and I had heard about the great food and beautiful setting and decided to give it a try. Lane and Fiona provided such great service and were incredibly energetic, friendly, and accommodating.

We started with the shrimp cocktail, which came with a delicious cocktail sauce, and sampled the margarita pizza. Both were superb! Then I had the Philly cheesesteak, with tender beef and caramelized onions stacked on top, along with another layer of melted cheese in the middle of a delicious bun. My wife had the corned beef Reuben, which was also fantastic.

We also had the crispy fries—and they were so good we had to take some back to our hotel!

I can’t say enough about the wonderful service, positive attitude of the staff, beautiful setting, and delicious food. We had a fantastic experience and will definitely be back!“

“Ricardo and his brother are amazing! I walk in and hear how are you Mr Frank everytime. Food is always perfect! I order appetizers, sandwiches, pizzas, dinners always delicious! My favorite is the Blackened Chicken Sandwich! Highly recommend you to try them!“

“lived in ny for almost 8 years and found this place by chance. its the best. I come here yearly now to celebrate my birthday. everyone is sweet, food is amazing. I will continue to drive from nc to celebrate here as long as they're open 💜🩵“

“Fabulous food and friendly people! Lots to look at while you eat or wait. Thanks everyone! ❤️🥰“

“So this was my first time here…we had a birthday celebration for my boss! About 13 people. Reservations were for 6:00pm. I came about 15 minutes late, and some people had drinks already. We waited for our waitress to return and it was almost 1/2hr. She took our second drink order, and seemed annoyed. The restaurant was very busy (which we were told by other servers) another 1/2hr pasted and finally she took our food orders. At this point, we were very hungry and disappointed-I guess our server had another big table.. So our salads were dropped off but another female server (who seemed very professional and much nicer than our original server) After that things seemed better. Food was good! I just thought about the customer service of the first waitress. She seemed like she didn’t want to be there. I work in customer service (which is very important especially for first impressions) would i recommend this restaurant yes, food was good. Service was not so great.“

“Thank you for everything. I placed a large order a day ahead of time and everything was delivered perfectly. It was on time, hot and delicious. Your antipasto is the best I’ve ever gotten and the wings were huge! Everyone was so happy and full. Great job!“

“Foods delicious got the bolognese with house made cavatelli. Pasta was made perfect. Hubby got the pesce Alfredo.. He also thought it was delicious. We got the short rib ravioli for an appetizer also great. And the bread here comes with 3 dips..whipped garlic butter, roasted peper ans traditional oil and balsamic. Everything from food to bartender was great. We will be back.“

“They make the best Gluten-free pizza in the area! The GF Boneless Wings are mouthwatering good!! Delicious & crispy with your choice of wing sauce.
Great atmosphere at the bar, and dining room for dinner with family & friends.“

“What a gem of a restaurant! Great food, drinks and atmosphere. The staff is fantastic too! Absolutely the best pizza in the Capitol district. Anthony's has elevated Voorheesville as a destination not to be missed. Live music, the outside bar and deck with the backyard vibe of corn hole, fire pits and mini golf make Anthony's the best place to go for a date or with family. We definitely will be back:)🎶“

“Great place to stop when passing through Albany for some quick fresh Italian food take-out for the whole family. Seriously, forget the Thruway rest areas. If you have kids whose staple food is boiled noodles and butter, no matter the time nor the day, Bellini's will satisfy, and won't break the bank. Without a Noodles & co around for at least 100 miles, Bellini's has you covered, and is a must-stop for us. I can also recommend the meatballs and sausage.“

“Best Pizza in town! As a certified pizzaholic, I should know!“

“Our new place to go. We did the family meal takeout. It was delicious, everything was great. We even added meatballs and sausage, plus canoli's for dessert. The price was more than reasonable for the amount of food. Top notch all the way!!!“

“My husband and two of our friends went for dinner tonight. The drinks were on point, our calamari was delicious, I had the chicken Milanese which I loved, my husband had the casarecce. Our friends had the bolognese pasta dishes and we were all quite satisfied. Can’t wait to come back and try the pizzas!! Highly recommend!“

“Drove almost an hour to get here, 4 slices of pizza and 2 bottles of water for $17, well worth it. We got the Hawaiian, ziti, Alfredo and buffalo, all were absolutely amazing. Made for a nice lunch stop before a triple feature movie date.

We went again after all the movies, got two more slices for the trip home, still stellar.“

“I will order here again, and again and again. Seriously i love this pizza.“

“Housefly alert.
I've been to Jacob & Anthony's many times, and the food and service have been good.

Today at a lunch I hosted for out-of-town guests, the experience deserves 1 star because the housefly problem inside the restaurant was terrible. Many swarming flies pestered the five of us -- landing on our faces and heads and hands throughout the meal. It was hard to maintain a conversation.

I know it's not fair to post a definitive rating on a restaurant's worst day, so that's why I'm giving 4 stars not 1. Still, management needs to be on notice and get this problem under control.“

“I’ve been coming here since 1992 and every time I’m in Upstate Albany New York. I have to make a pit stop.
I loved how welcoming this place felt. The menu had plenty of options, and everything I ordered tasted great. It's the kind of place you stumble upon and then keep returning to. It's more than just a dining spot; it's a true local gem, a place that, once discovered, inevitably draws you back with its unwavering charm and consistently delightful offerings.“

“I tried their seitan wings. Super yummy!“

“I visit there about 4-5 times a month to grab a bite to eat, I usually get the lasagna dinner or their hot subs. Hands down the best in the area. The staff is always friendly and helpful. when in the area a must stop it won't disappoint!“

“Swung into Olive Garden with our group for lunch. Most of us had the soup and salad and one chicken Parmesan. The entire staff was super friendly. We were seated quickly, and her food came in a timely manner.

Our waitress was exceptional. Kenzie, I believe her name was. She was great. Fast, efficient, and friendly.

I’m not a regular head of garden by any means but I was very happy with everything.“

“Thanks for the pickle pizza!! You made this pregnant lady very happy 🥰🥒🍕“

“amazing food! love the burger and fries. yummy!“

“Just this evening, I ordered take out from the wrong location. I called Stuyvesant plaza instead of Slingerlands. When I called Stuyvesant about the mistake the manager said, “ No problem”.

“Amazing pizza and grate wings“

“I have ben to few Sbarro's, as far away as Nassau, Bahamas. the producte are consistent. I do like the pizza, new york style and Sicilian . Usually when. in colonie center I get ziti to go . After I pay I usually look at the wide pizza selection and enjoy it vicariously . The other things look good. As a good italian, who has done many reviews. As many as I come across. Sbarro's new ork style is quite good and if I was hungry for pizza, I would not pass it up .“

“Troy's Red Front (also in Clifton Park) is a gem of a pizza restaurant with wonderful service. They're known for their COB, cheese on bottom, but I like the General Tso's and weekly specials even more. Wings are crispy with great sauces and the bleu cheese is out of this world. Call early on a Friday for pickup because they get very busy. Just means we all have good taste!“

“Me and my hubby had a wonderful meal , excellent service and definitely going back again .“

“I can’t recommend this place enough! It’s not just a pizza place—it’s a haven for anyone who loves delicious artisan food. Their pizzas are phenomenal, with a variety of creative and flavorful options that cater to all tastes. But it doesn’t stop there! Their Mediterranean bowls and dishes, like the Gyro and meze platters, are equally amazing—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. I order from them at least four times a month, sometimes even more, and they never disappoint. The food is always delivered on time, piping hot, and exactly how I want it. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set them apart. Nasıl? The quality of their ingredients is exceptional, and everything is so clean and fresh. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick snack or a hearty, healthy meal, this place has it all. I genuinely look forward to every order. Fast, reliable, and absolutely delicious—this restaurant is a gem!“

“We went to Milanos for the first time today, and we’re never going back. To say that the service was terrible would be an understatement. Ordered a large pizza and watched it sit there on the counter getting cold because the server was MIA. I was going to walk over there and pick it up myself, but I flagged down the other server who did it for me. Same thing when I asked for the check. I could see if the place was busy and they were understaffed, they weren’t. As far as the food goes, mediocre at best. The “large” pizza was actually small and we left there hungry. We should have eaten at the burger place a few doors down.“

“Wow the pizza is amazing! I ordered the gluten free pizza and it was incredible. Husband and son got the regular pizza and it was also delicious! Cool atmosphere and the outdoor area is neat!“
