49 Best Italian Restaurants near Malta

“From the moment I walked in, I could tell this restaurant was something special. The welcoming atmosphere was undeniable; even the other customers were eager to share their wonderful experiences and enthusiasm for the place. The menu was full of great options! The food; Every bite was delightful! Did I mention the espresso martini, made with fresh espresso!🫶🏻 The dessert menu was equally impressive—each option looked so tempting that deciding on just one was almost impossible. I ultimately chose the chocolate cake, and it was nothing short of divine—the best I’ve ever had. As for the staff, they were simply incredible: fun, energetic, attentive, and full of positive energy. My entire experience was unforgettable, and I can’t wait to go back!“

“First time trying Napoli’s. We are new to the area from Long Island. The Margherita pie and meatballs were good. ( It’s hard to please a Downstater who’s Italian)!? The sauce was very good. We will definitely return. They were polite and efficient“

“They have a new pizza maker he is very good and the pizza speaks for itself“

“The music , the food and service is excellent w the waiters that make u feel very comfortable ❤️ I suggest panzas especially for a celebration… My friends took me there and it was fabulous“

“This is one of our absolute favorite places. Our first time in was just about a week after they opened and We couldn't have been more pleased with the amazing food and wonderful service!“

“Authentic, delicious, Italian cuisine...like a fancy version of Sundays and holidays growing up. Danny's sauce recipe is printed on a flour sack in a frame on the wall (very close to Mom's) so those of us who cook can savor the taste at home. Everything our party of 4 ordered exceeded expectations and was served up by friendly, knowledgeable staff. The Veal Danny and eggplant in particular....so, so good. Chocolate cake with pistachio cream and a fine cup of coffee to end the meal....now that's perfection!“

“Great happy hour spot. Don't arrive during happy hour for a dinner table without a reservation on a weekend night. High tops are seated for dinner guests only when guests finally are done with the long happy hour.

Drink specials at happy hour are worth the trip but someone has to wait in line at the door at 4:30 for high top seating. Meeting people at happy hour is easy because seating is close and you can hear everyone's chatter.

Well staffed. Good service. Catering takeout is easy and consistent.

Parking: EV charging for a fee.“

“Today we held my future daughter-in-law’s bridal shower at Solevo. Not only was the service exceptional but the food was excellent with very large portions. The staff was so easy to work with while planning our event. Very accommodating. I highly recommend Solevo for dinner out and also for private events. Thank you, Solevo, for making our event a huge success.“

“My husband and I have been going to Pennel's ever since we were dating in 1963. This is our every family occasion celebration restaurant. Birthdays, anniversaries, even before holiday gatherings are held at Pennell's. It has been a part of our family tradition for over 60 years, and I just know our children will continue it for years to come. Great meals and memories! Thank you Pennell's.“

“Wonder everything about this restaurant“

“Being in the service industry for 15+ years, I will have to say that this place is top notch. The food was absolutely delicious. The timing of the apps and main course was perfect. My filet was cooked perfectly at a medium rare. The Utica greens are amazing!The service was phenomenal. Our server was on top of her game, making sure our drinks were never empty and checking in at the perfect times. We will be back for sure!“

“The BEST deli/sub shop in the area! Whether it’s cold cuts, homemade salads, subs, homemade hot dishes, Pellegrinos of Malta does the best and truly cares about the product they’re serving their customers. These hard working people just do it all right and in the best way! Look forward to going there every week.“

“We love olive garden to start with, but this evening was amazing. We had a FANTASTIC server, Mo, who was the most personable and friendly person we have had in food service in a long time. He checked on us consistently, and made great recommendations. Honestly, every time he came by the table my partner and I commented on how nice and good at his job he was. Food was excellent as well. Overall, a wonderful casual date night!“

“Brooke's Pizza is an absolute must-try for anyone looking for delicious, authentic Italian cuisine. With their fresh, high-quality ingredients and mouthwatering menu items, Brooke's delivers an unparalleled dining experience that will leave you craving more.“

“Pleasantly surprised! Stopped in for slices to go, never had pizza from Caputos. Delicious! The shop was busy, the staff greeted us and despite how busy they were, took the time to wait on us and were genuinely appreciative. Will definitely visit again!“

“The pizza is some of the best in the capital district if you like a bit thicker crust. The wings were pretty dry and I was not a big fan of the peanut butter and jelly wings flavor. I wish there was a better seating area because it's not close to residential areas and the pizza won't survive a 10+ min drive home without getting mushy.

The picture is after the pizza had been out for 10-15 min so it's not the most flattering picture“

“My bestie recommended Clifton Park Pizza Shop and it did not disappoint 🥰 I ordered the Lasagna and it is hands down the best lasagna i have ever had! The sauce is so good. You can definitely understand why this small place is always so busy!! Highly recommend.“

“I have been customer for at least 15/20 years 2 weeks ago got 2 subs very disappointed no meat on them today thought we try sausage bread specified peppers and onions also got mushrooms and wings start to eat it..ok no peppers and onions on it tried to let that go but....ok raw dough??? no way call them an wanted to give me 3/4$ credit??? are you serious after all business we have done owner should be aware of issues!! 45.00 order took taste right away“

“ordered dinner through their website tonight... order successfully went through, went to pick it up... and they were closed! no one there!!“

“Cannot understand why reviews for this pizza restaurant aren't much better. We order frequently from here and have never been disappointed, unlike other pizza places around ballston spa.“

“I have been coming here for 25 years. My favorite is Antipasto and a Pepperoni Pizza, calzones. Always fresh, hot. Sometimes there is extra grease so make sure to have extra napkins. Owners are very nice and welcoming. There are a couple of booths to sit at. My order is always ready in 20 minutes. Always a good experience for me. Recommend.

Parking: The pizza shop is in a type of strip mall with a huge free parking lot. So plenty of spots.“

“Great pizza with fresh ingredients and a nice crispy crust! The menu has a good variety, and the calzones are delicious. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming. The only reason for four stars instead of five is that service can be a bit slow during busy hours.“

“Food was delicious and delivery was fast! Super impressed!“

“I have been ordering from Pizza time since I was a child and I have never been disappointed. In this industry consistency is key, and every time their pizzas, salads and appetizers are always on point. I think their cheese pizza is arguably the best you can get in town. Considering the cost of food is rising, Pizzatime remains reasonably priced unlike their two nearby competitors. DO NOT order from Primo, or D'andreas if you are in Wilton and looking for takeout Italian food. Pizzatime ensures your order is correct, timely (typically ahead of time every time we order delivery!) and they go above and beyond to separate dressings/hot chicken from salads to ensure it doesn't get soggy and they provide adequate sauce on the side for things like their fried ravioli which the other two places do not. Every staff I have interacted with are professional, and pleasant and their delivery drivers are always kind and patient. Definitely recommend Pizzatime through and through!“

“One of our go to places for wings“

“Great service and very friendly. Pizza and cannoli were excellent.“

“My sister and I came for Sunday brunch. Our server Max was fantastic. The options for both food and beverages were impressive. Everything was prepared perfectly. This is the second time we've come for brunch and we will definitely be back.“

“Great service very helpful and polite!!!“

“I picked up a Saratoga veggie moon tonight, it was the best sandwich I ever had. Thank you for using fresh veggies and an amazing roll. Job well done!“

“Lived in Toga my whole life and only just ordered from West Ave tonight and they have the best tenders and hands down the best ranch i have ever had 😳🤤 Honestly you should sell that in bottles if its homemade! The West Ave Sampler is perfect to share for 2!“

“Food here used to be good but has been slipping the last several times. What's so difficult about the 'crispy' part of a wing order or the 'extra hot' part of a Utica green order? Overpriced and definitely not worth it. Won't be coming back here for a very long time, hopefully things will have changed by then. Good thing they are closed on Sundays, maybe they should close a few more days too.“

“Super nice, speedy, and yummy food!“
