50 Best Italian Restaurants near Katonah

“We are relatively new and now converts to La Famiglia. Pizza is delicious, perfect combination of tangy flavorful red sauce and cheese. Margarita is perfection. And tonight we had a 1/2 tray of eggplant parm. My sister in law and I, both lifelong lovers of the dish, agree one of the best we have had anywhere! Delivery prompt and time promised; friendly smile!“

“Very attentive service, great food, nice atmosphere. We love this place!“

“Lovely restaurant and staff are excellent. Food is also quite good; the lower rating was due to the zucchini parmigiana. I do not recommend this dish because it was merely zucchini, too much mozzarella, and tomato sauce. No ricotta cheese or anything else. Every bite was a struggle because the mozzarella is stringy once cooked. Zucchini was not soft enough to make the meal less difficult to enjoy. So, if you go, do not have this, if it is on the list of specials.“

“If you are at Caramoor for a concert or show, you should stop in to Peppino's for a before or after event dinner... The rustic meets the cosmopolitan inside and the food is just as good as the best Italian restaurants in the NYC Metropolitan Area... Your Caramoor experience is only 50% without a stop to Peppino's... Make it a 110% and stop in... Don't miss it...“

“10/5 stars if I could! Cause even though I’m in the city every week, I save my pizza cravings for this spot! This particular Amore location makes the greatest Nonna and Margherita pizza ever. My parents and husband cannot get enough either. Amore is a weekly thing. Get the personal or large pan of either pie, made fresh, and their Caesar salad or spinach and garlic, and a seat outside on a nice night. Their pizza drips with this golden olive oil, a little salt, fresh tomatoes, and divine cheese. I cannot get enough and come here weekly! The best! And we adore the people who work here, too.

5 stars!!!!“

“I have been coming to Pizza Station for about 5 years and one of my favorite slices is the buffalo chicken slices but ever since they switched it up from larger chicken pieces I have been wanting it to go back to the large chicken pieces but overall my favorite pizza place in Westchester and I highly recommend it“

“Delicious food and excellent service! Extremely courteous staff! A wonderful experience“

“Great atmosphere, organized party, excellent service and staff, amazing food, very relaxed party planning that led to a stress-free gathering of 80 people. Spacious, modern party room with nice furniture, lighting, and air conditioning. Highly recommend throwing a party here! Thank you Tesoro’s, you were awesome!“

“Just left a crazy Thursday night at IL Forno. What a fun and enjoyable evening we had. We walked in with no reservations and the manager snuck us right in and we even got to the listen to an amazing singer. We have been here a few times, this was by far the most fun we had. Everyone was laughing. The staff which seems to be plenty was having a good time. The manager and Owners kept walking around and making sure all was good and everyone was happy. Thank you for restoring our fun Thursday evening with no COVID fears.“

“The pizza was great and the service was friendly!“

“We chose Risotto to celebrate our anniversary, confident the food and service would be top-notch—and it didn’t disappoint! The surprise highlight? A beautifully presented complimentary dessert from the owner that made the evening truly memorable. If only we lived closer—we’d be regulars! Until then, it’s a must-stop every time we’re in town.“

“From the moment you walk in you feel like family the entire staff welcomes you smiles food comes out hot and tasty.“

“Enjoyed a wonderful dinner with my sister, we started with steamed mussels in red sauce & divine bread. We ordered their Sunday sauce with Meatball,sausage,spare rib, bracelets on rigatoni W/a dollop of Ricotta cheese. Couldn’t finish all of it took the rest home. It was excellent!! served with crispy garlic bread. No room for desert. Service was excellent. Can’t wait to go back.“

“This place is one of my family's favorite restaurants for many years. We all refer to it as B's. There are so many great and delicious choices between the specialty pizza slices, salads, and pasta and chicken dishes. Rocky and team has always gone above and beyond for us whenever we order out, dine in, cater for a party or host a party in the back. We've never had a bad meal here and highly recommend it.“

“I Highly Recommend Amore's Staff & Cuisine ☆☆☆☆☆ !!!“

“We just came home from Sunday Brunch at Basso by PXK...the "Pots, Pans and Pasta" Brunch. Two hours, a dozen or more courses, one better than the other! Great food, great service. Peter Kelly dropped by each table to welcome us. So happy we went. Will be back for dinner...but it will be difficult to decide on one meal after such great variety.“

“Being a true food critic isn’t about penning florid restaurant columns — it’s about possessing the palate to discern the sublime from the merely adequate, the memorable from the forgettable. And let me say without hesitation: this trattoria is anything but mediocre. In fact, it is the embodiment of authenticity and craft.

At the heart of it all is Giovanni, the proprietor — a man of knowledge, commitment, and quiet ambition. Hospitality is in his blood; he is the son of the founder of Blue Dolphin in Katonah, another local culinary gem. Here, he honors that family tradition while carving out his own legacy.

Giovanni understands what so many in the industry forget: excellence is rooted in the fundamentals. The sauce — rich, balanced, uncompromisingly fresh. The pasta — hand-shaped with care, including spaghetti alla chitarra, its square edges expertly cut on traditional strings so the pomodoro clings lovingly to every bite.

It’s in these details — the harmony of textures, the precision of seasoning, the restraint that lets ingredients speak — that the meal transcends mere nourishment. You leave the table satiated, not longing for more, but savoring the lingering echo of flavors.

Giovanni personally curates his suppliers, choosing only the freshest, finest ingredients. Seek his counsel when ordering; he will never lead you astray. In a world where “specials” are often an afterthought, here, they are genuinely special — dishes worthy of the spotlight, each plated with pride.

This is a place where passion meets tradition, where every forkful tells a story, and where mediocrity dares not enter.

BRAVO!“

“This spot is my go to for amazing food and wonderful atmosphere. But what really makes it special is Kayleigh, the best waitress ever! She's super friendly, remembers my order every time, and just makes the whole experience way better. If you want great service and tasty dishes, this place is a must visit!“

“First time there. The food was good, the portions were large and the staff were very friendly and polite but with that being said, the service wasn't all that great. Drove up from the Bronx and even though it was enjoyable, I won't be going back. Why? Because I hate to be "nickel & dimed" ...I never question prices. I order what I want but when the check is upwards of $70 but I see I was charged for both cups of coffee, it's a turn-off! A little advice: let your customers be aware that there are no free refills on a cup of coffee instead of surprising them with a $10 charge for coffee. Good luck!“

“I very seldom order take-out - but I tried LaFamilia for pizza when they first opened in Pound Ridge - and was not impressed. However, a few weeks ago I found myself without side dishes for Sunday dinner - and I ordered salads, broccoli rabe and a few other items and they were excellent. Last night I ordered two entrees and they were outstanding.“

“Had the pleasure of visiting for the first time. Ordered the lobster ravioli and the crab cakes. Both were good but I really enjoyed the stellar lobster 🦞 ravioli. Topped with lobster pieces. Very nice touch. Very nice drink selection and great food selection also. I will gladly visit again“

“This is the Best pizza in Mahopac“

“I was at Traditions last night for Disco Night. It was my first time and I had an absolute amazing time. From the atmosphere, DJ, people, bar statf, drinks etc. I will be coming again to first Friday of the month. Thank you for allowing me to have a memorable time.“

“Very consistent good Italian food. A nice menu. My go to for penne a vodka, chicken sorrentino. They do close early. There prices recently for pasta went through the roof almost no difference between getting a pasta dish or a chicken dish. I would definitely lower the pasta prices, come on pasta is free. But with that being said It is good food but just not a everynight spot bc of the prices“

“Always great food, never disappointed. Delivery is quick and friendly. Everyone who works there is so sweet.“

“look at the size of this slice of cake. 🥲 it is beautiful and just as delicious! i needed to try it before diving into the pizza because come on.. cake. i always like what i get from mario’s and was not disappointed with our door dash order. hooray pizza! hooray huge slices of chocolate cake! i feel like bruce from matilda right now.“

“Ordered sandwiches and antipasto tray for my daughter’s sweet 16 party and everyone said how fresh the meat was. The sandwiches were made perfect they did not fall apart and were cut perfect size. The antipasto tray was fresh as well. First time I went to deli as I’m new in town. Highly recommend. Cannot wait to go back. Thank you to Arthur Avenue Deli!!“

“Thoroughly enjoyed our delicious authentic Italian dinner tonight with our family ♥️ Wish we lived closer or we would be back all the time! The owner was incredibly sweet and personable!!“
