50 Best Italian Restaurants near Dix Hills

“I went with my friend. Lovely place to visit“

“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!“

“As a restaurant owner, I never go out and order chicken Parm probably had the best chicken Parm I ever had in my life. The atmosphere is great. The service is great. Just an all-around great place.

“I had my son's wedding rehearsal dinner at Zona last night. I was originally booked to have the party on Saturday, but the bride came down with the flu. Gianna was so helpful and accommodating. She was able to change the date for me without hesitation. The day of the affair, the staff was so helpful in getting the room set up for us. Our waitress, Jodi, was absolutely incredible. She made sure that our guests had a fresh drink before they even realized their drink was empty. The food was delicious and plentiful. But most of all, the service that Jodi provided to us was outstanding. I would book another event at Zona without hesitation.“

“Want to thank the folks at Tre Scalini for helping me organize a funeral luncheon for my brother in law’s mom. They are not from the area and tasked us with finding a place near Pine Lawn.

“Food was delicious and nice presentation!“

“I went there with my family for an early Sunday dinner. The staff were super friendly and engaged. In particular, the person that served us and looked after us was super sweet and friendly. The armosphere was very peaceful and quiet (I'd expect theis place to be hopping and super lively at other times). My group was vey well pleased with their entrees, and the appetizers were particularly well done (our salad and the fried zucchini). I'll certainly be back; a business dinner or a drink after work.“

I recently had the pleasure of dining at La Famiglia, and the entire experience exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the level of hospitality and professionalism from the entire staff was outstanding. The servers, managers, bus staff, and every team member we encountered were exceptionally attentive, courteous, friendly, and genuinely welcoming.
Their dedication to customer service created a warm and comfortable atmosphere throughout the evening.

One of the first things that stood out was how immaculate the restaurant was. Every area was spotless, beautifully organized, and maintained with remarkable attention to detail. The ambiance is modern, elegant, and inviting, making it the perfect place for both family gatherings and special occasions.

The black-and-white photographs displayed throughout the restaurant added a truly special touch. They beautifully capture traditional Italian culture and family heritage, creating a nostalgic and heartfelt atmosphere that makes the dining experience even more meaningful and memorable.

The food, served family-style, was absolutely exceptional. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh, flavorful, and carefully prepared. The presentation was elegant and thoughtfully done, showcasing both authenticity and creativity. You can immediately tell that quality ingredients and passion go into every plate served.

La Famiglia delivers far more than just an excellent meal — it offers a complete dining experience centered around hospitality, cleanliness, tradition, and outstanding Italian cuisine. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Italian food, exceptional service, and an unforgettable atmosphere on Long Island.“

“Arrived approximately 8:00 for a late dinner. Not too many tables left Dinners: lasagna and Manicotti were delicious. Nice surprise to get a complimentary glass of wine. Took a bit longer than we expected to get our meals and our server seemed a bit confused.. but all and all a good experience. We will be back.“

“Service and staff are excellent. The dinners we had tonight were outstanding! Definitely will be returning for another great night out❤️“

“Truly one of the best restaurants we have ever gone to. Amazing service, and even better food. We tried 6-7 different plates each better than the next. Super cozy and family oriented inside as well. Cannot wait to go back and recommend to others!!“

“My wife and I recently hosted a baby shower for our daughter. To say the party was excellent wouldn’t be accurate. It was more than excellent. The food, the service, the staff could not have been better. All of the 55 guests raved about every aspect of the gathering. Many of these guests had never been to Bacaro before but now said they would definitely be coming back. If I had to come up with one negative… I couldn’t. Thanks for making a special day everything we could have hoped for.“

“Just like the golf course this venue is one of the best hidden gems on Long Island! Beautiful room. Great staff. Amazing food. What more could you ask for?“

“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.
