50 Best Italian Restaurants near Great Neck

“I am from Queens but I MOVED TO N
J because of crime. So did a lot of other people.It is very congested. Th
e shopping is better in NJ, people are more polite, churches are better The Japanese food is better I heard the Korean food is better but the pizza is terrible. I have been to the places with the highest ratings in NJ.
But this Napoli pizza is great. It's near a nail shop I go to when I'm in town
. We spent the day in Queens and got a pie. it is really good and better than anything they have in NJ.“

“The food is always so fresh and delicious, and they’re incredibly accommodating too. I don’t eat meat, and they always go out of their way to make me the most delicious pasta with broccoli and beet salad 🥦🥗 Jack is the sweetest and always treats us like family, and the entire staff is just as warm and welcoming. It’s one of those places where you always feel taken care of“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Pizza Paradise truly lives up to its name! 🍕✨ I catered from them for an event, and Michael was amazing — so helpful, responsive, and made the whole process effortless.

The food was a huge hit! 🤩 The specialty sushi disappeared instantly 🍣, and the MVP pizza pie — with pesto, marinara, and vodka sauces over melty mozzarella — was the star of the night. 🌟 BH the food kept coming.

If you’re looking for unforgettable flavors and top-notch service, this is the place. Can’t wait to go back! 💐“

“Very good Za! Open late and great service“

“This restaurant is incredible! Came here to celebrate my sister's birthday recently, and, in no way, were we disappointed. The ribeye steak is probably the best I've ever had, the pasta is made with love, the pizza is amazing, and the service and ambience is wonderful. Don't think twice about making the reservation! The owner and his chef (brother) have created something brilliant here 👏“

“By far one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to! Excellent service- food made to order. Chicken Scarpiello was so flavorful with a lot of garlic, herbs and a touch of lemon. Penne Ala Vodka one of the best I have ever tasted! Chicken Verde was so tender it melted in your mouth!!“

“Love the food, the owners support the community and their staff is very friendly and welcoming“

“This is one our favorite local go to's. However this time we returned within a couple of weeks because my spouse and I wanted to have the dish the other was so happy with the last time. We loved the red snapper and chicken piccata. Oh. And the expresso martinis were perfect!“

“Wonderful food. Wonderful service!“

“Incredible espresso, desserts, authentic Sicilian specialties. Great place with amazing quality food.“

“Cala Luna is by far the best restaurant in Mineola. Their lack of advertising and marketing keeps their business down. I recommend highly to anyone to try this place, they will not be disappointed.“

“I took my family to la riserva last week. We had an amazing dinner. My girls loved the pasta fagioli!!! They also enjoyed their meals; pasta with marinara and the chicken parmigiana with green beans. My husband and I equally enjoyed our meals. The service was great. Our waitress was knowledgeable and everything came out in a timely manner. I will definitely recommend la riserva to my friends.“

“Hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner here and we are SO glad did - everything was perfect! Everyone could not get over how delicious all the food was. Danny worked with us to create a menu that was tailored to us and our guests and we got SO much food included in the package we did. He also worked with us to create table arrangements that worked best for our event. I was worried at first that the space only being partially private and not a true private room would be an issue but it was not at all! We really didn’t need it and were happy to still get to enjoy the Sinatra singer that plays for the restaurant that night. He even came over and sang for our party and had us dance which was not expected but a fun surprise that we loved! Overall we had a great event here and I am so happy we chose them to host it!“

“I ran into a small hiccup during my visit here and the staff handled it with so much kindness and understanding. They went out of their way to make sure I wasn’t left without what I needed. I cannot express how much I appreciated the gesture. It truly says a lot about the people running this establishment, and that alone gives me enough reason to continue to support and recommend Villa Milano and its staff!“

“Was in the Bronx for a funeral. Looking for a comfort meal. Our Waitress Maria was amazing. Such a kind loving lady. The food was Great quality and good portions. I’m going to try to go any chance I get.“

“Great Italian recipes, with wonderful Desserts. The Service is good, and the Restaurant is kept clean. Have eaten at DiMaggios numbers times. Never disappointed!! Recommended Highly.“

“This Italian restaurant has been serving the community for 28 years, and it’s easy to see why. The service is warm and welcoming, the food is delicious（especially dessert!!!), and the prices are fair. It may not be fancy or Instagram-worthy, but it’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back“

“riquísima la comida,excelente atención!“

“Everything is great. Coming here over 25 yes. One thing I noticed who's overall incharge he is no Tony. And never will be. Stained tablecloth oil bottle on table dirty and greasy. Dirty windows. Tony would never have put up with that. I also miss his cooking. It's the little things. But Tony would never put up with this. Everything had to be perfect.“

“highly recommend. everyone always asks where we cater from. nothing is ever left!! delicious food always. the string bean salad is one of my favorties. the raviolis are made fresh there. if you want an amazing meal go see them!“

“Please delete this lunatic“

“My wife and I really enjoyed the entire setting family style dinning. We both love eggplant very much the seasonings were not salty or spicy plenty of sauce stuffed with fresh ricotta cheese. All of what we could see were large entrees no fru fru at all. This is another local good place to dine in Floral Park.“

“Fantastic food minus a menu, you feel like you’re at your grandparents house for those of you who are fortunate enough to be Italian“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A true Italian Joint ! Amatriciana, Carbonara and Cacio e Pepe made to perfection! . Appetizers are very good as well my favorite is the fried artichokes. Tried the special mozzarella in carrozza with anchiove and it was very good. Portions are plentiful and it's a high quality pasta. Highly recommend!“

“The pan seared roasted chicken is amazing!!! My family and I found this place a few weeks ago. It's a beautifully decorated, clean and fairly new establishment with a very polite staff. My children have had the ravioli, the penne and the chicken fingers and each loved their meals. It's a hidden gem that we are happy to have found :)“

“We were attending an event at Queens College and wanted to have a lunch/dinner afterwards, so we searched for restaurants nearby. There were many choices, but I was impressed by the website and menu for Piccolo Sogno. Following the event, joined by four friends, my wife and I made the short drive to the restaurant. It was a hot day, and at first we said we would like to dine inside. But the gracious host said we were welcome to check the outside seating first--and we're so glad we did! In the lovely, covered garden, we comfortably began a great feast! Piccolo Sogno has a nice selection of wines and beers as well as sparkling water. That was followed by delicious Calamari Fritti (done to perfection) and a Hot Antipasto Sampler with more calamari, baked clams, eggplant rolatini and amazing fried shrimp. We followed that with Pollo Alla Francese (some of the best I've ever had), Spaghetti Carbonara, Penne Vodka, and Insalata Dello Chef with chicken. These were served with generous side orders of Caesar salad or pasta. The service was friendly, courteous and at a pace that made for a wonderful afternoon. Even though we were extremely well-filled, we ordered dessert, and are so glad we did! The Limoncello Flute was one of the best desserts we've had, as was the Chocolate Mousse. Some iced expresso (wait until you see the special way it is layered!) and coffee would have been the end of a perfect meal, but then Chef Maurizio himself came out to spend some time at our table. After a nice conversation, he took this selfie shot of us all. As we left, the wonderful staff of the restaurant all greeted us and thanked us for coming. I can't remember the last time that happened in such a warm and spontaneous way. I could not more highly recommend a restaurant. We live in Manhattan and have our choice of some of the best restaurants anywhere--but actually, I look forward to returning to Piccolo Sogno!“

“Every menu item we purchased is delicious. The finest ingredients!“

“First time here. Sat at the bar. Sebastian was amazing. Drinks were amazing and the food was
Exceptional. Klement the manager went out of his way to make our experience memorable. So nice to have this gem in town! Will definitely be coming back soon!“

“My son and I went here after I did my research to find the best delis in Hell’s Kitchen, and this was consistently the top answer. We had limited time in NYC, so every place we visited had to count, and Sergimmo’s did not disappoint. I had a Caesar salad, while my son had a Pasta al Pomodoro e Basilico. Both were great, and so was the shop owner’s treatment of us, obviously not from around the area. Next time we’re in NYC, we’ll be back!“

“Our first time here, based upon reviews and vicinity to our home. While the food was tasty, hot and nice portions, the service was terrific the overall atmosphere was lacking. It was excessively loud, small and cramped dining area. The seating should have been about 25 not the sqeezed in seating of 36, when we sat to ate.
I recommend reservations, like we had, to sit for dinner, even on a Sunday.
My wife had the pear & walnut salad, the fusilli pasta & sausage and Italian (made in-house) cheesecake. All were great. I had the watermelon & feta salad, salmon piccata with veggies and pistachio Gelato.

It is average market priced.
Clean environment, and bathroom, but the kitchen door to the dinning room should have remained closed.
We will try it again in the near future.“

“Poly is a great person , the first sausage sandwich I’ve ever eaten was from this food truck about 20 years ago, and guess what , will be no other Italian sausage sandwich I’ll eat, the freshness and the quality here is incomparable, thank you POLY🫡“

“Food was delicious and the service was great!!! Will definitely return.“

“The food was great and service was amazing. Johnny was the best. Thank you.“

“Great food, great service! Will be back for sure!“

“They renovated recently and I wonder if the place changed hands. The ambience and food have lost some old world Italian charm and depth. Everything was very good but we went there previously because it was phenomenal. It was just good this time. It's all relative I suppose.“
