18 Best Italian Restaurants near Fort Edward

“I lost hope in finding a place with actual GOOD penne alla vodka until we tried Stumpys last week. I thought I could only get quality penne alla vodka when we visit family in Long Island but Stumpys impressed me so much, it’s probably the best I’ve ever had!! Pizza was also great! 😍 We finally found our new go to pizza place!“

“I can’t believe I waited so long to eat here …..it truly was amazing. The food was delicious, staff is very friendly and the atmosphere 👍. 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹“

“Great food...very resonable..big portions..tried other ltalian places..we always wind up here..owner is a sweatheart..always greets us..would have to go to Canales in Schenectady to get the same portions and quality“

“This place is the real deal. The grilled bread with the bruschetta and caprese salad has a great flair. The tomatos have some of the best flavor profile I've had. Definitely in the top two of all time. I had the cuppa de pesce for a main course. What a dish full of seafood. Again well cooked and the pasta was perfectly al-dente. They had a creme brulee cheesecake which turns out was a huge suprise. Just as it sounds, really good cheesecake with creme rules flavor and topping. Cant wait to go back again.“

“​I discovered the Gourmet Cafe on a quiet evening as the hostess was placing the menu board outside. The dining room was simple and unpretentious, giving off a pleasant, personal feel. The experience started with a warm welcome from the server, Mandy, who personally recommended a Pinot Grigio for my meal—a fantastic touch for someone exploring wine pairings.

​Mandy was equally impressive: wonderfully attentive, composed, and friendly.
​I ordered a half portion of the Penne alla vodka with chicken, which was generous enough to be a full meal. It arrived with perfectly toasted garlic bread and had a lovely aroma. The dish delivered on every level: the pasta had a great bite, the sauce was tangy (thanks to the sun-dried tomatoes) and creamy, and the chicken was incredibly tender. The owner's wine recommendation was spot on, as the Pinot Grigio enhanced the creaminess of the sauce beautifully.

​It was the kind of meal that makes you lean back in your seat to savor every bite. While a few stray flies were near my table by the door, it was a minor note in a delicious and pleasant experience. Learning it's a 'mom-and-pop' operation made perfect sense given the personal service and neighborhood feel. It’s a true gem.“

“Thank you for the delicious fresh pasta and meatballs, and the whole loaf of Italian bread you threw in for free! Excellent everything!“

“We have never had a bad meal at Massie’s, everything is ALWAYS delicious. The specials are always changing and look drool worthy! 5 ⭐️s across the board. We went out for our daughter’s 9th birthday dinner here (her pick!) & everything was delicious. Kids meals came out first and fast as we wanted. Our waitress was so attentive and checked in often even though she was busy! Great service, great food!“

“I have only dined at Rocco’s but one time, we didn’t have a reservation and they were able to seat the three of us which was very accommodating. It was a busy busy time since there was a game at the Civic Center across the street and every place was packed. The food was outstanding and I would recommend Rocco’s.“

“(July 6, 2025)
We came here for dinner after considering a lot of other options, we were pleasantly satisfied with the food quality and quantity and the overall service.
The minestrone soup and bottomless salad (unlimited refills) were good.
The pastas we ordered were decent and came in very large portions, we ended up packing some of it for the next day of our trip.

Sisi was a very friendly waitress.“

“I see this place an apology for NOT finding out sooner what I found out today! Excellent pizza and big beautiful perfect wings. My wife grew up in GF on Ridge St. and remembers Oma's and told me the story leading up to Mia...its weird we never connected with Mia! Today she and her Mom orders pizza and wings. Of course they ate like 1 slice and 2 wings so she called me and said got Mia's for you, you can't believe the crust and the wings are giant! She was not kidding. WOW - and I had just seen a reel on social of some dude going Portnoy at Mia and gave it a paltry 6.8...bollocks, I give them a still warm (wife said dont reheat the pizza for the original taste) - I give it a 9.9 combo wings and cheese pizza!!! Please prepare to hear from me more Mia. Doug Haight.“

“Best place in town and will go above and beyond for customers!“

“Food is always excellent and the service is wonderful! A huge thank you to Anna and everyone at the restaurant for helping to make our wedding day go so smoothly and special. The sunroom was beautifully set up for our ceremony and wedding reception. The antipasto appetizer platter was excellent and a big hit with all of my wedding guests as well as the dinner.“

“Hands-down, the best cheese pizza in the Glens Falls/QBY area. Always hot and fresh when it arrived. I just ordered an $11 foot long sub and I was so stoked about how good it was that it prompted me to write this review. Not sure if they make their own sub bread, but if they don't, they should take credit for it anyway because it was great. Reliable place when you want quality, and it's the pizza we always order when we have visitors from out of town.“

“I want to start out by saying I am a door Dasher who delivers frequently for them I have also personally ate here myself, the food is great and the owner is an amazing guy who has awesome staff, they are much better than any chain pizza shop you could find in every city, the prices are fair the only complaint I would have to say is it does get busy! So you maybe waiting for a bit fo your order usually about 10 to 20 minutes from when a Dasher arrives if your ordering door dash. That being said they are great people and locally owned as far as I'm aware. I would recommend everyone try them at least once and give them a chance to prove dominos and Pizza Hut chains have nothing on them“

“It was good… they said table was 15 minutes wait but it was more like 5…then they said food would be an hour wait … then it got cut down to like 45 but it took about like 25 … the waiter with a beard Paul? He was there for like 25 years? Anyways he was awesome! The clam chowder was pretty awesome… the Rachel Ray pizza was good but it was spiiiiicy!! Service was great … food was good. They seemed realllly understaffed ! 7/10 overall!“

“🙂The best Braised Port Shank this side of the Atlantic“

“Came here quick for slices on the go. Not too many options but opted for pepperoni & plain slices. The area is big with plenty of chairs for sitting. Large kitchen area. Quick service to heat up slices. Our slices were crunchy & not super greasy with stringy cheese!“

“I come in nearly every night for a Large Garden Salad, green leafy lettuce, cherry tomatoes, green peppers, onions, and a hard boiled egg, always fresh produce, Sometimes I have the Chef Salad, the store is clean and the staff are so friendly, they have delicious desserts too, but I’m trying to loose weight and Empire Pizza 🍕 has been my go to for a great salad, the menu is large and I wouldn’t mine ordering chicken wings some time, Thank you Empire Pizza 🍕“
