22 Best Italian Restaurants near Johnson City

“My wife and I came into town to run some errands and found them through a quick ‘Italian restaurant’ google search. I’m so glad we did! The wait was estimated about 20-30minutes, but we were offered seats at the bar without any wait! To our surprise there was $5 spaghetti night and what a nice welcome to find an affordable meal! We got a Moscow mule, Diet Coke, and a double shot of Tito’s vodka. Our meals were spaghetti with a meatball, rigatoni Bolognese, and crab stuffed mushrooms. The meals both came with salad and house made Italian dressing (delicious!) and complimentary homemade bread. Everything was absolutely perfectly cooked and seasoned. The bartenders were both women, and extremely quick and attentive. We had such a great experience and loved the atmosphere. The bar is very old school wood, really made you feel at home. We will be returning, I’ve heard great things about their ‘Steak Tuesdays!’“

“Hidden gem for sure; Id highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for excellent handmade NY style pizza, and their fried dough bites are unforgettable! The service is warm, friendly, and welcoming. I'll definitely be coming back!“

“Went to Rossis in JC last night and had the best turkey sub. It was so fresh and delicious...best sub I have had in a long time. The lady that made my sub deserves a high five!!!!“

“The pizza is so good here. I love the variety and the crust. Check out meatball parm pizza for starters. You can get slices and drink specials or order a whole pizza. Check out their menu for other options. This place also has seating as well.“

“My husband and I with my friend went to Frank's on Wednesday February 24th.We had reservations for 4:30 and we were seated right away. We got our drinks no problem, we put our order in and it actually went well. The food was hot and very good..My husband had lasagna, I had chicken parm. with a side of spaghetti, and my friend had seafood melody over risotto. We started out with a nice salad and garlic bread. The service was very good and Frank stopped by our table for a minute just to check on everything..
My only complaint was the music was a little louder than I liked..
It was worth the trip. I will probably go back again soon.“

“We came here to celebrate 2 birthdays! Ambiance was excellent! Friendly waitstaff! Food was exceptional - all delish! Grilled octopus, Tuna tartar tower, Fried asparagus, Orecchiette with spicy sausage and broccoli rabe! Yum! They gave us 2 warm cookies with ice cream in top, with flasher candles. Great experience.“

“Cortese always knows the assignment.

I’ve had the crab cakes, French onion soup, mozzarella sticks, fettuccine alfredo, and the rigatoni bolognese, and everything has been excellent. Killer steaks too! The portion sizes are enormous and even the house salad is delicious.

One thing I really appreciate is the pacing. The timing between the appetizer, salad, and entrée is impeccable, so you can actually relax and enjoy the meal instead of feeling rushed.

The staff at the front door are always cheerful and welcoming, and the service has been fantastic every time.

I recently brought my mom, who is an absolute doll, when she came down from north of Albany and she raved about it. After that drive she needed something delicious, and Cortese delivered.

Also, shout out to the overflow parking because that makes busy times much easier.

Honestly, just come hungry.

Classic Italian done right. If you leave hungry, that’s a personal decision.“

“The food was great. I had the five cheese ziti. The experience would have been better if me and my daughter were not put in a cubby with a loud large family. The main dining area would have been nicer and maybe our server would have had just as much time as our neighbors.“

“Always the best experience when in Binghamton.“

“We Love what’s on their menu . . . And no matter what you order it delicious and fairly priced. . . Endicott is known for its family owned Italian cuisine and The O.P. Is one of them with their own family recipes and items on their menu.“

“so first of all don’t let that one ⭐️ review from 2 months ago stop you from going here! First of all we are not in Italy this is an old school Italian American corner. deli it’s as North side of endicott as you can get “little Italy 🇮🇹 .”
the woman working I think was one of the owners was very nice it was my birthday and was looking for tiramisu they did not have any but had a lot of other stuff I ended up getting Reggiano and some fettuccine for my birthday dinner, she directed me to another place up the street where I could find it.
as for other customers there was a cute husband and wife having lunch and her birthday was the day before, we had a but lovely banter about our birthdays.
if your looking for old school deli charm this little corner deli has it!
you can tell that years of love and hard work have gone in to this place.
the sad truth is during shut down a lot of these awesome mom and pops did not survive,
wich speaks volumes igor the ones that did during those trying times.
I don’t know if it is just me but I think they deserve all the credit!
as for not real Italian bred you can’t get more Italian American then Romas bread it is a house hold staple in most of endicott.
if you like near old Italian American Deli’s you should check this one out.“

“Met a close friend for dinner after work. The place was packed but worth the wait! Food was awesome and worth the price!“

“Love the bread, pastries, and pretty much everything they sell here. Pizza's are amazing, and the absolute best white chicken spiedie pizza ever made, is sold here!“

“This is the place to be for great food and Italian culture.“

“Excellent food any time of the day or evening!“
