25 Best Italian Restaurants near Maine

“We couldn't be seated right away due to a large party so we sat in the lounge. While we waited the owner, Frank, came over and chatted with us for a while. When it came time to eat the food was incredible the wait staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was inherently romantic. It was raining that day, but next time we hope to dine on the patio out back.“

“Had Lasagna last night. Absolutely Horrible!“

“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!’“

“the pizza is always delicious and the sauce is great and the owner and workers are very nice and polite“

“Among our very favorite place for food in the area. Really wish it were easier to get a reservation, but they did just recently open up for Tuesdays which is great, and they do offer carry out.“

“New HAVEN TAVERN style pizza here is fire 🔥 you can’t get anything like it unless you drive to Sals Apizza in New Haven CT, right up there with the big dogs. 9.2 score Salad dressing with the old 1930’s bottle 10.0 out of 10.0 😚“

“Fabulous food that makes you feel good! Avocado Bowl Is the Bomb, thumbs Up!“

“Great authentic Italian restaurant- hidden gem!💎“

“I love this place. Amazing food. 100% would recommend to family and friends. Great service. Friendly staff.“

“Great meal and service. We arrived on a Friday about 5:30pm and got seated right away but there was a wait by 6pm. I'm guessing a bunch of people arrived close to 6pm trying to take advantage of the Happy Hour specials. The specials were pointed out by the great wait staff. We ordered a pizza and the chicken tenders and the food was seemed quickly and hot, both great. Service was very good.“

“Went to Tony's last evening for our anniversary. Staff was great but unfortunately the veal parm was tough and chewy. Definitely a sub-par quality.“

“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.“

“Everything was Excellent !!! Service !!! Food !!! My Compliments to the entire staff !!!“

“Great wings, locally owned by great people! Like the cheers of 2026. Try the wings they’re delicious.“

“literally the best pizza and wings we have had in awhile!!! pizza was perfect, wings were perfect. service was great. and price was Def right!!!!“

“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!!!!“

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

“Had the pleasure of enjoying lunch here after shopping at Needful Things. The staff (owner and wife) were very knowledgable about celiac disease, my dining companion has this issue, and were most helpful with picking out what would work for her. Excellent soup and sandwich, atmosphere great, and you can't beat the location as it is the perfect compliment for taking a break from shopping. Highly recommend and will be returning soon! Did I mention the tea? Fantastic!“

“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.“

“It's good pizza when its actually good. Sometimes it can be doughy. At times you can tell they are not cleaning the pizza oven they reheat in and the pizza will taste burnt or like another sauce from another pizza. The kids working there could be friendlier and not act like customers are bothering them when getting food. Makes me not want to go there.“

“I got a half sheet 6/5/25 at 11am. One of the best chicken wing and half white broccoli pizzas from here to date. Whoever made it did the crust a little thicker and the entire pizza covered in toppings. I get pizza here a few times a month and the last 2x were great. My family goes to the vestal parkway nirchis and has been disappointed last couple times with there pizza. I tried there's and they definitely changed up the wings sauce 1 out of the last 2 wing pizzas. My family goes to Canada to visit family and always brings a couple sheets of wing pizza per there request. I always recommend Taft Aves. 👌“

“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!“

“Best. Pizza. Anywhere. I crave the spedie chicken from over 700 miles away, hoping one day I can attain to this level of excellence. Somehow, the ones I make are good, but never quite as good.“
