50 Best Italian Restaurants near Hopewell Junction

“PLEASE READ FULL REVIEW: Went here for Fathers Day because this one of my favorite spots. Travel an hour to get here. I only have a suggestion - this review has nothing to do with the food which is absolutely delicious and plentiful I ordered the crab cake special. When I got the bill I was shocked by 32.00 for 2 crab cakes for appetizers. I think you should make an insert for the menu or place it on the table your specials so people can think about it and see the cost. Don't want to ask the server the cost for all specials. They were very good ,but would not have ordered them at that price. They were more expensive then the main course. Won't make mistake again.“

“Had my wedding here and Frank and the staff were amazing and the food was great!“

“Perfect texture to every slice. Not to thin, not to thick. Crunchy scrumptious. Every bite is a delight. The staff make you feel like your family. Always fresh. If you haven't yet, try the 28". The meatballs, chicken parm melt in your mouth. Hopewell Pizza barnone is the best.“

“I can not say enough good things about Mike and Joe's! The staff is friendly and efficient, they learn their customers and always greet you warmly! They are quick, often delivering faster than expected and the food is always great! If something is wrong they are happy and quick about making it right and they treat their customers so well and generously! I order delivery often and recently ordered catering last minute! Not only were they on time , the food was DELICIOUS, and they gave a sweet something extra! Mike and Joe's always goes the extra mile they are my favourite pizza place now and always! Thank you guys for absolutely everything and being so hardworking and friendly every single day! You guys are wonderful! I'll forever be a Mike and Joe's regular ! 💞“

“I found myself wandering around in search of a place to grab lunch. The staff were genuinely friendly, and the interior was remarkably clean. My order—consisting of my main dish and an extra appetizer—was served quickly and piping hot. Both the taste of the food and the overall dining experience were absolutely magnificent. I’d probably have to move in just to be able to stop by every day!“

“This restaurant is amazing! The food is incredible and the service is first rate! Our server, Caesar, was fabulous - attentive, informative, and so congenial! We were impressed! Many thanks for a delightful evening!“

“We reached about about a week and a half before our wedding to see if they had any times available for 25 people for a rehearsal dinner on a Friday in June (super last minute). They were extremely accommodating and placed us at two tables in the room on the second floor. Everything came out super fast, and they were really accommodating with gluten-free meals for some of our guests. We absolutely loved our meal here, and hope to come back again!“

“Excellent experience really enjoyed the atmosphere the staff is super friendly just like family“

“Wonderful food .. Great people“

“First time here for a private party and i cannot say enough great things about not only the food but the staff also. By far one of the best upcoming restaurants in the Hudson valley. The pizza was so flavorful, fresh with perfect crust n that’s coming from someone whose family owned pizzeria for years. Another must have is the house made penelle which aside from my nonna making it I’ve never had in any restaurant. Last but not least the cannoli were some of the best I’ve had in months. This place is 1000% worth the drive from anywhere in the area. Will be coming back asap“

“I’ve been passing this place for years and we decided to try it last night. The food and service are wonderful. Really great with kids too. Drinks were excellent as well. Can’t wait to try this place during the summer. It’s on the tour and we will be back. Thank you!!“

“I am an eggplant snob! I order it every Italian restaurant I attend. I have only enjoyed it at one other restaurant, Coppollas in Hyde Park until Raymees. The owner said I was going to love it and boy was he right!!!! It was exactly like I love it!! It was wet, lots of sauce and cheese and not loaded with bread crumbs. BUT I was most impressed by the very large portion and side of salad, garlic knots and pasta! I highly recommend you try Raymees! I doubt you will be disappointed!!!! I would give 10 ⭐️“

“Absolutely the BEST food and service! Portions are HUGE!! Have ordered trays for holidays and more than enough to feed a crowd. Highly recommend making reservations. We were lucky they had one table left at 5pm. Servers never rush you, they have perfect timing of when to check on you!“

“Fantastic food! Calamari and bruschetta to die for! Eggplant parm, bow tie pasta with mushrooms and walnuts (!!)… everything was flavorful and beautifully presented. Highly recommend. Drove 2 1/2 hrs to get there and would do so again!“

“We came in for the first time today. Layla was a great server who gave us the right amount of time to order. The pizza was tasty and had the right “NY foldability”. Counter service and by-the-slice are available and their dining room is well done.“

“Amazing food, always fresh and QUALITY ingredients. Gina and Steve are amazing and treat you like family. Great pizzas, sandwiches, dinners and MORE.. perfect to dine in or take out.. Give them a try, you wont be disappointed. Try the Chicken cutlet with broccoli rabe sandwich or the penne ala Vodka Pizza.. you cant go wrong with anything“

“Fabulous, fresh & delish doesn’t even start to express the taste in this wonderfully prepared food! Good service & very nice atmosphere.

“A huge thank you to Bobby and his team at the Eastdale location for accommodating our special request this morning for our Soldier! There’s nothing like bringing a taste of his favorite place to him on his graduation from Basic Training! God bless you 🇺🇸“

“I am writing his a second time because I don't see my review I just wrote. I have been going here since I was a kid! 60+ years! I have had parties here. Even my son's first birthday 38 year ago! My union even has had pizza parties here. Best Italian food in the area! Love their pizza, their eggplant parm, and their stuffed zucchini blossoms. My family loves their raviolis and even the chicken parm!! Never had a bad pizza or meal there!!!! I even live their salad with homemade dressing!!!! Can't go wrong!!! Even the staff is so nice!!!!!“
