6 Best Italian Restaurants near Lake Placid

“Visiting Cafe Rustica for the first time was a real treat. I called ahead to check if they had seating for two, and they confirmed. I told them we would be there in 10 minutes and sure enough, when we arrived, everything was set up for us. The staff made us feel like part of the family, with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Heather, our server, was fantastic, recommending some truly delicious appetizers and entrées. I can't wait to return! We ordered the prosciutto spedini, meatballs, and ravioli. Definitely come hungry.“

“Jimmy's 21 has become our traditional first-dinner-in-Lake-Placid preferred location. This time, we came with our four-year-old, and it was just as enjoyable as when we've come as a couple or with a group of 8+. The top-notch service, high quality food, and relaxed but romantic atmosphere are always consistent, and very much anticipated. The views of Whiteface and Mirror Lake are so exquisite. We love it here, and it remains one of our all-time favorites!“

“We husband and I came across this place on accident, later in the evening. It was absolutely AMAZING!! From the time we stepped in and was greeted with such friendliness, to the timing of each course. Staff were attentive and the food was the perfect temperature. The flavor of each course was absolutely delectable. My husband and I are going back just to go to that resturant. this time with dessert,“

“Great food. Owner is a nice guy.“

“My friends and I absolutely loved this place! Amazing pizza and wings, great service and cute little old fashioned styled place. Looked like there was only one man working, and he did a fantastic job of getting our food out quickly and providing us great service. We will definitely be back!!“

“One bite everyone knows the rules
Solid undercarriage, not too salty or heavy. Minimal flop and the cheese on top of pepperoni kept it from burning on the ends. Outstanding pie and hospitable staff. Only negative is I wish they opened earlier.“
