50 Best Italian Restaurants near Locust Valley

“Beautiful location, excellent excellent food, excellent service, several outdoor dining locations on the property, would recommend it highly.“

“We very recently had my mother's 80th birthday party here at Two25 with 40 attendees. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience. First of all, it has a modern, calming and upscale vibe. The restaurant and restrooms are immaculate. Crisp table settings. Cool jazz lightly cascading through the sound system. Just great overall ambiance. From the moment I walked in to inquire about having a party, I met Caitlin, who deftly and expertly handled every single issue, before, during and after, with ease and grace. She made sure that our experience was perfect. A true professional and a credit to the establishment. From the moment that our party started, the staff was incredibly attentive and intuitive. The appetizers of arancini, wontons, and artichokes were absolutely delish. The salads course was perfect. And the main dinner courses were expertly crafted. I personally had the short ribs which were melt in your mouth deliciousness. My wife's salmon was cooked to perfection. And although I did not taste the chicken Milanese, everyone who had it reported it to be excellent. The dessert of gelato and cappuccino was the perfect complement to the amazing meal. And if I didn't stress this point enough, Caitlin and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate every whim. As an amazing example of that, before the day of the event, I mentioned to Caitlin, quite off-handedly, that although their beer selections were top shelf, they didn't have my go-to beer. Would you believe that the manager, Andrea, went out and personally made sure my favorite beer would be on hand for our event. Now that is what I call service!!!!
All of our guests were thoroughly impressed and everyone, invariably, had nothing but positive reviews for the event.
Two25 has skyrocketed up to our family's favorite restaurant.
Thanks again Caitlin and Andrea for an unforgettable night!!“

“We had the personal pizzas and they were excellent. They have draft beer and a variety of mixed drinks. The seating is cozy. Wait staff was attentive and ready with recommendations for first timers. It can get a bit loud when full but a very warm and inviting atmosphere.“

“Ok, not only one of the cleanest and nicest, good Mexican food place. It has great Italian food.
Our waitress is like a grandma trying to feed us everytime we come in.
A must have anytime you want good clean plate of Mexican or Italian food.“

“My wife and I are pizza fanatics specifically Neapolitan style. A hybrid gas, wood fire grill that makes a near perfect pie. We split a Margherita and Mushroom pie.

The Cesar salad was great, a touch of lemon zest and crispy lettuce.

The meatballs were high quality and this is coming from a self proclaimed meatball master.

This place is an absolute MUST!“

“My daughter had her sweet 16 there and the place and service was amazing. Food was great! Phil and his staff were awesome. They were very attentive always made sure we had what we needed. I would recommend WM to anyone looking for a formal event,“

“By far one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to! Excellent service- food made to order. Chicken Scarpiello was so flavorful with a lot of garlic, herbs and a touch of lemon. Penne Ala Vodka one of the best I have ever tasted! Chicken Verde was so tender it melted in your mouth!!“

“After living out of state for the past 5 years, we needed to find a local place to have a private family luncheon after funeral services for my father-in-law. We met with Sergio on Wednesday and he completely accommodated all of our wishes for that upcoming Saturday in his beautifully appointed private room. We couldn’t have asked for a better four-course meal and the staff provided service that was top notch and utmost respectful under the circumstances. We enjoyed a memorable celebration of life! Thank you Sergio & Staff for making a very difficult day, end with warm hearts and happy bellies 🖤 Until we visit again...“

“Best pizza in Port Washington.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Dining Experience
My daughter Victoria and I stopped by this Olive Garden at 1246 Old Country Road, and we had a wonderful experience. Our server, Ariana, was excellent—very attentive, friendly, and professional. The manager, Margarita, was also amazing and made sure everything was perfect.
The food was delicious and came out very fast, which we truly appreciated. We enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere and the outstanding attention we received throughout our visit.
We definitely will be coming back. Highly recommended!“

“Love it here! On the weekends it is always buzzing, great vibes & perfect night out atmosphere. Food is consistently delicious, pasta, salads, apps all so good! Some favorites are the arugula salad, charred peppers, focaccia & literally all of the pastas. The Chiquita & La Passione drinks are like nothing I’ve had anywhere else - so delicious & innovative. For dessert get a Nutella donut - divine. One of my fave places!“

“Great food, great service! Will be back for sure!“

“We had Thanksgiving dinner here with my two boys. The service was absolutely outstanding. Our waitress was amazing . The food was beyond what I expected. Well done!!!! The portions were beyond believable and believe it or not the take home portions were just as amazing as they were when first brought out. More than 5 stars. Excellent evening and the price was ridiculously resendable. Great job to all the cooks and the people that don't get the recognition they deserve in the preparation of this fantastic meal.“

“This is our family's absolute go-to for Italian in the area! We’ve been coming here for years, and it never misses a beat. The food is always fresh and authentic—the pizza and pasta are highlights. We regularly order takeout and it's always hot and on time. If you're looking for a reliable, delicious local spot that feels like home, this is it!“

“Food was delicious and the service was great!!! Will definitely return.“

“Hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner here and we are SO glad did - everything was perfect! Everyone could not get over how delicious all the food was. Danny worked with us to create a menu that was tailored to us and our guests and we got SO much food included in the package we did. He also worked with us to create table arrangements that worked best for our event. I was worried at first that the space only being partially private and not a true private room would be an issue but it was not at all! We really didn’t need it and were happy to still get to enjoy the Sinatra singer that plays for the restaurant that night. He even came over and sang for our party and had us dance which was not expected but a fun surprise that we loved! Overall we had a great event here and I am so happy we chose them to host it!“

“Classic Italian prepared fresh daily.“

“After ordering food from here for quite some time, we finally got to the restaurant. It was even better! Great service and delicious food. We will definitely be back very soon. Love the white linguine and clam sauce and our family also enjoyed the chicken parm which was so tender and the bolognese.“

“If you’re looking for exquisite Italian cuisine and top-tier service, Felice in Port Chester is an absolute must! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, elegant, and inviting. The food was truly exceptional! Fresh, authentic, and bursting with flavor in every dish.

A special shout-out to Rafael, who provided outstanding service from start to finish. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and made our dining experience feel truly special.

I highly recommend Felice to anyone looking for incredible Italian food, great ambiance, and impeccable service. A true gem in Port Chester! 🍝✨“

“My wife and I had a healing, incredible meal here. Yes, the food is delicious and well made with generous portions. I can personally recommend the salmon and the pastas. My wife loved the chicken and the soup. The cheesecake is the best we've ever had. The drinks are strong and delicious and well made.

But what's makes this place stand out is the people. The owner loves the food he is making and cares for his staff. The staff seem happy and their energy and joy come across everywhere. We stayed past closing time chatting and eating and drinking.

I can't wait to come back. You should visit too.“

“I bought an apple tort for a New Years Eve family gathering and was very happy! The apple filling was lightly cinnamon and light without too much sugar and no jelled apple. The topping was neatly sliced apples brushed with a small layer of apple jelly. The crust was the short bread variety. Only $30. I was traveling and didn’t have time to bake so this light but tasty dessert was perfect! Worth visiting for hostess gifts! Nicely wrapped cookies, brownies, quick breads are sold there, too!“

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

“Constantino’s makes the perfect pizza. The ingredients are so fresh and the customer service experience is the cherry on top. We went for the soft opening a few weeks back and the atmosphere was so family oriented and welcoming. Some of the best pizza I have had! They have a bunch of different kinds but the grandma pizza and the plain pizza are out of this world! You have to try this place. Mike the owner is absolutely wonderful and knows what really good pizza is.“

“Nice huge portions , delicious food, great service ! We will be back.“
