50 Best Italian Restaurants near Kew Gardens

“Just stopped in for a quick bite. I’m not familiar with the area, I just moved. But damn that slice was good! Paired with a blue moon

Earlier I went to the 24hr pizza spot on the corner but that was not it.

Rodine will be my go to pizza joint in Kew“

“Hands down one of the top notch spots for pizza in NYC. Saw this place few years ago on TV - Diners&Drives.

Must eat imo is the pesto pizza. Lot of ppl were getting the plain with extra sauce, pepperoni, beef pepperoni etc.

Verdict - must visit and worth the hike from wherever.“

“The owner is so friendly. My first time . I felt like I been coming there for years. I will be back food was delicious authentic Italian food.“

“cameriera italiana con capelli corti. scortese e molto maleducata. non tornerò piu. non ha saputo ne servire il cliente oltre al fatto che dovrebbe farsi un corso di corretto italiano prima di parlare con un cliente in quel modo. pessima pubblicità al locale. peccato e mi dispiace ma non tornerò più.“

“repas poisson excellent et canolli extra“

“I just love this place... !“

“My husband and I have been going to Daphne’s since we moved back to Brooklyn. While food and service have been excellent without fail, Jackie is who keeps us coming back month after month. Her warmth, kindness, and knowledge are unparalleled, and we can’t imagine having a better time at dinner with anyone else.“

“We had our wedding at Rialto and couldn’t imagine a perfect ceremony and reception.

Dominic and the Rialto team were incredible. Super attentive and went out of their way to make sure our day was as special as can be.

We have no idea how but they managed to make sure the food was always fresh and hot when served, even the branzino, which is not easy to do all at once for ~75 people. Seriously impressive.

They really outdid themselves and we will definitely come back to Rialto for dinner which now holds a special place in our hearts. ❤“

“Had a fabulous first time at Il Gigante. Sat at the bar - shout out to Matthew and Kayla for taking such good care of us. Great ambience, not too loud, but still a fun atmosphere. Food was exceptional. The pasta and all the ingredients were fresh and portion sizes were hefty! Great price for the food and drinks. Just all around fabulous! Cheers!!!“

“Food is yummy! My go to place in Brooklyn! Coda is excellent and the flatbread are also yummy! The Sangiovese red wine on tap is also nice! Highly recommend and make reservations in the weekend“

“everything. food is delicious!“

“My first time at Wonder was exceptional. Was recommended it by a friend has no idea what I was walking into. Food was exceptional - I got the Tejas Barbecue brisket meal. The place was clean, people were kind. First time here and I’ll definitely bb back.“

“Fun indoor/outdoor dining environment and delicious food make for a nice night out!“

“Had a great time at Misi last night. Ricotta crostini was served with nectarine; very good, still was nicely savory despite being fruit-forward. We also had the artichoke hearts; the mint made the dish exceptional. For pasta, we went with the tortelli and the lamb ragu. The tortelli was exceptional but I would try something other than the lamb next time; wasn’t bad, but wasn’t stand out. For dessert, we had strawberry and cream gelato and double chocolate gelato, both were great but the strawberry and cream was the better.

Thanks for the great night, Misi team!“

“If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was wonderful, and the service was exceptional. A special thank you to William, who went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. Friendly, attentive, and professional from start to finish. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back!“

“Took my 2.5 year old niece to Da Adriano and they could not have been nicer or more accommodating to us. We ordered the bolognese and the special of the day which was pistachio pesto and better than any pistachio pesto i had in Sicily two weeks ago. My niece said it was her new favorite restaurant and she loved the pasta. Clean ingredients, evoo only and authentic! Can’t wait to come back to this neighborhood spot!“

“It’s great place with very delicious pasta and artesanal pizza! 🍝🍕“

“Sooooo good and so delicious and great attention A+“

“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.“

“What's there not to love about a huge piece of the foundation that makes up Williamsburg Bklyn. A lot has changed in the area but this place is standing strong on its ground. The food, the atmosphere, the service, the familiar faces, family, and friends. It's never ending when you go there.“

“The food was amazing! OSTERIA did not disappoint! The way Italian food I’ve ever had! I will definitely come back! As an influencer I hope to influence my audience to try authentic Italian food! The cocktails and desert were so good! A 10/10 what an experience!“

“The atmosphere and service were outstanding. We only went for desert and coffee. The chocolate cake was amazing. A couple we vacationed with has eaten dinner there 2 nights before and said how amazing the food was. One of the staff members even gave us a personal tour and history of the building. Will be back to Brooklyn and will definitely come back.“

“Whether you live in NYC or visiting this fine city you need try Ill Tinello NYC on East side. I am in love with everything there. Wine, cocktail, food, dessert, staff and of course Benny. Everyone and everything is A+. The one and only negative point is when you have to leave. That is only followed but setting a date for a return. Love ya Ill Tinello NYC East !!!!“

“Very good restaurant, highly recommended! !👍👍👍“

“I made a reservation for Roman's on a Monday evening for a date night with my partner, not knowing it would be the day we got engaged! Roman's was truly a perfect place to celebrate. The food is so gorgeous and balanced and there was never a moment I felt unattended to while we totally had space to enjoy each other's company. Roman's is all the good parts of a welcoming neighborhood spot paired with seasonal delightful food that impresses people over and over again (on NYT's top 100 restaurants in NYC). The portions are more generous than many high end restaurants and I swear every last bite was the best. I felt warm leaving this place and I'm so excited to go back again <3“

“Lovely quaint cozy little place. The food was excellent. I had the salmon and a side of mushrooms. Both were delicious! My husband had the ragu and said it was “solid”. The wait staff were attentive and friendly. We had a great time. Thank you!“

“Always perfect Classy friendly smart delicious.“

“The food, service were outstanding. I’ll be back the next time I’m in NY.“

“We’ve gone several times, and it is always worth it! Food is great and the service is always above par. The owner, Arthur, is an amazing host and really makes sure everything is to your liking. His brother, the chef, not only makes spectacular food (including fresh bread!) but also the best limoncello. The sauce is made from tomatoes grown and distributed by their family in O
Italy, which aligns with the authenticity and quality of the food. Already counting down to our next visit!“

“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.“

“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“

“THE best Italian cuisine in NYC. Period. Bring the crew and make sure to order the butternut squash tortelli and bottle of Lambrusco.“

“Food, drinks, and atmosphere are excellent!!“

“We stumbled in and were surprised how amazing the food and drinks were! Francisco was our waiter and he was Amazing!!! I couldn’t ask for more. He was so informative and honest about everything and we are coming back tomorrow because he convinced us lol. We got the meat lover pizza, it’s Called the trio and I got the basic eggs and bacon dish, delicious! Francisco made our brunch say!!!“

“The ribeye was excellent, and the ragù pasta was rich and full of flavor. The Carbonara and Cacio e Pepe were both good, though a bit simple and could have used a touch more seasoning. The Prosecco sangria was delicious, and we loved the tiramisu and pistachio gelato. The highlight of the evening, however, was our server, Javier. He was attentive, friendly, and made the entire experience even better. We’ll definitely be back.“

“The food was delicious excellent service and the frozen rose’ drink was amazing 🍷“

“I swear my friends and I could live here. We’ve been coming to Madonna almost since their open… for dinner, for the pregame, for the many of birthdays, for the afters. The staff is a huge part of our experience and why it’s always first on our list. The music is always right, the cocktails are delish beyond belief, and the food… don’t get me started on the truffle fries. Trust!!“
