50 Best Italian Restaurants near Jamaica

“I’ve been going to this place for 10 years now and it’s still as amazing as the first time I got anything here. All their food is delicious and I believe the pizza is the best pizza I ever ate. Definitely go here and get anything on the menu. You won’t be disappointed.“

“HI MY STUDENTS FIRST TIME AT YOUR RESTAURANT AND THEY HAD AN AMAZING TIME. OUTSTANDING SERVICE AND AN AMAZING PIZZA FOR THEM.“

“I have been coming here since the late 90's when I was a student @ JHS217. The food has always been fresh and well made to order! The remodel was much needed and the quality hasn't been sacrificed from what I have seen over the years.

I no longer live in the area, but was visiting on business recently and decided to grab a slice for nostalgia sake. Sadly, it was late in the day and they were preparing to close, so the selection wasn't as vast as mid-day would be. My Sicilian Margherita slice was still amazing and I will continue to patronize this neighborhood gem for years to come! A1 from day one.“

“La comida muy buena y el servicio“

“buenas noches quiero dar gracias a Jones pizza por haberme dado un trabajo y por confiar en mí como persona y de antemano quiero agradecer a la señora mambo la al señor Miguel a Orlando y a champ hablo que a lo mejor ellos no me recuerdan pero juntos comenzamos el sueño de la pizzería John's pizza les mando un saludo desde mi tierra México soy Ari Aristeo y que mi Dios los bendiga“

“The best price for great food, that arrives quickly without any issue. I highly recommend them, granted a world class pizza place is next door... but even Singa's pizza is not something I'd turn away. And given how much easier\\faster\\cheaper ever an issue it is to get their pizza vs Danny's, I recommend them even for pizza.“

“Quick delivery, well priced. My favorite slice is the chicken bacon ranch 🍕“

“I came with dietary restrictions and they gave me great recommendations on what to get when avoiding fish and meat. I got the ital stew with spinach rice which was sooo good. I didn’t get to order for the other side but I would love to come back and get fresh natural juices+ grape nut ice cream.“

“Had a great birthday dinner with the family. We dropped in on the earlier side since we were dining with three young children, but the service and attention was great. The food was excellent - one of the best chicken parms I've ever had. Others in my party had the gnocchi pesto, tagatelle bolognese and the linguine di mare - all also loved their dishes.“

“We used to frequent the Astoria location which was always so great. The new Manhattan location is no different. Somewhat smaller, but just very cozy and very nice looking. Amazing food as always. The flavors and taste are just the best. No matter what you order you will not go wrong. The service is top notch and Rocco and his staff are just the best at what they do. Just go, you won't regret it.“

“I traveled all the way from Upper West Side because a friend suggested it, and it was absolutely worth it!!! I loved the atmosphere, the restaurant, the wine list, and the food! I highly recommend trying the fagioli all’uccelletto, and don’t miss their pastas, we had a phenomenal cacio e pepe, and the cotoletta alla bolognese was truly amazing. Food is so authentic and spontaneous!!! We shared a bottle of their Poderi Melini Chianti Classico, which was perfect with our food and was recommended to us by Jacopo, in his typical Tuscanian accent. I’ll definitely be back! Ridgewood has a great Italian spot. What a discovery!“

“best goddamn eggplant parm sandwich I’ve ever had they also carry canned DOP San Marzanos and jarred Calabrian chilis; if you know you know“

“One word DIABLO !!!🙏❤️ Frost Beer was ice cold !!!“

“Look on Yelp for an extensive review.“

“Great service and food. Great view of the bay. Parking in easy.“

“Been meaning to stop in here for a while and we're glad we did! Made for the perfect lunch on an obscenely humid day. A/C was on, World Cup was playing, but the atmosphere was laid back and relaxed. The service was fantastic.
We both really enjoyed our tap wine - the pasta funghi, meatballs, and truffle fries were top-notch. And that Jesus cake ... that cake is something else. Unreal. We were both saying it was the best dessert we'd had in years.
Despite living in the area forever, we've been missing out on Vesta Trattoria - we'll be back for sure!“

“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 👏“

“Highly recommend! The atmosphere was nice, and they have a variety of different dishes, including some that I had never tried in New York before. But what really stood out was the amazing service, especially from our server, Sofia. She explained each dish and gave us excellent recommendations!

Thank you! It was a really great first experience, and we will definitely be back!“

“Great atmosphere. The food is fresh and tastes delicious! The staff is attentive and friendly.“

“So freaking good. Came here for the first time after watching the owners journey online. We got the mortadella sandwich and the Sicilian tuna—all divine. I’m gluten free and asked if they could put the tuna on a bed of greens and they did 10/10!! Would highly recommend. Also the staff was super helpful and accommodating.“

“The risotto is always great. The special ravioli -- my husband couldn't get enough. We shared the special appetizer, a caprese salad presented in a creative way. Our waiter couldn't have been more perfect -- there when we wanted him, and then he left us alone.“

“This was the warm Italian hug I was wanting on our recent trip to NY. We were at the MOMI down the street, and had made reservations for dinner at Sac's after the museum. We had tired, hungry tummies, and were a good hour from our original reservation time. The good people over at Sac's accommodated my family immediately, and with pleasure! The atmosphere was welcoming, comfortable, inviting, and straight up authentic..this coming from a Sicilian girl with olive oil in her veins. My family ordered a variety of dishes, each one spectacular! 2 different pizza's, fried zucchini, sausage, and the BEST shrimp scampi I have ever eaten! The staff treated us like family, and were super attentive, anticipating our needs, and not missing a beat. At the end of our meal, Domenico Sacramone, one of the owners came by our table to chat, it was lovely and greatly appreciated! That's the extra touch of love, and attention someone who really cares about their business, and their customers puts out! It was genuine, and made the experience that much better! If we were locals, this would be our weekly dinner spot! Thank you to all over at Sac's Place for a wonderful meal, and a fantastic dining experience! We will most definitely be back“

“I love the wait staff and the owner was extremely attentive to the patrons. I will definitely be back“

“Absolutely adore coming here. The service is attentive but not overbearing. The food is top notch with great selections. It’s a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion, or just to treat yourself. The manager Pure is friendly, and Gian who has been our waiter the last two times is wonderful. Top notch place.“

“Food, services, everything.“

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

“The food was amazing. The service superb! What more could you want??!! This was our first time here - and we definitely will be back - loved it!“

“I just wanted to try as much as possible all at once. So I got combo #8. I'd say I love every individual thing about it. 8 might actually be too many different things mixed together. I'm most impressed the sandwich wasn't a leaking mess in the wrapping.“

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

“Great service, delicious food!“

“Great Food and great service! Buffalo chicken slice is the go-to!“

“Today was our second time here and from start to end this place was outstanding, the drinks were so refreshing, the grill octopus as an appetizer was so tender and yummy, the entree and deserts, all very good !“

“The restaurant is clean, modern, and has a comfortable seating area. You order at the counter, and the service is efficient. The build-your-own pasta is cooked perfectly, and the pizza has a good, crispy crust. Portions are large, and prices are fair for the quality. Highly recommended.“

“Excellent food and lovely people!!! Recommended 100%“

“Amazing food! Highly recommended! One of the best food menus in the neighborhood!“

“i enjoyed the city feel inside this gem of a restaurant, the dining experience, was super friendly and very accommodating, I enjoyed a delicious salad followed with cacio e pepe, definitely coming back.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Great service the staff is so nice ! Food was fantastic . This is our first time here !“

“First time me and my son loved their seafood is fresh and delicious compliments to the Chef“

“We had a family party yesterday. We all can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Food was large portions and very delicious. Desserts incredible. Service was always there taking care of us.“

“Celebrated my 55th birthday dinner last night here and it was delish. Everything was great ! Can’t wait to go back !“

“Best food and hosts! Meal was amazing! Drinks were beautiful! Atmosphere was great!“

“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!“
