42 Best Italian Restaurants near Modena

“We had never heard of Paesanos until we moved to Modena. We were happy to find out that the pizza is great, garlic knots are the best, extra crispy wings are amazing and the subs are delicious. Also prices are very reasonable. Only complaint is that they only deliver for cash.“

“The Angry Chef does it all; excellent food, fantastic service, in a very friendly, relaxing atmosphere. Pricing is extremely reasonable for this experience.“

“Melissa and Antonio are the best, a long with their kids. I grew up with them. They are all hands on deck. Food is immaculate. Every time you go you find a new favorite on the menu. The flavors and spices that mix together are truly amazing, it’s a family tradition to have birthdays or any type of celebration at Antonio’s in my family. Highly recommend“

“celebrated with close friends yesterday, 💛 💓 💗 💖 never disappointed with the food quality, presentation, quantity or flavor. not to mention service, ambiance and staff.“

“Lombardi’s of Middle Island is a true gem for lovers of classic Italian cuisine. From the moment you walk in, the warm ambiance and attentive staff make you feel like family. The setting is cozy yet upscale, perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions.
I ordered the Chicken Parmesan, and it was absolutely phenomenal. The chicken was perfectly breaded—crispy on the outside, juicy and tender inside. It was generously smothered in a rich, tangy marinara sauce and topped with a blanket of melted mozzarella that added just the right amount of creaminess. The portion size was hearty and satisfying, served alongside a bed of al dente pasta that soaked up the sauce beautifully.
What really stood out was the balance of flavors. The tomato sauce tasted fresh and homemade, with a hint of garlic and basil that elevated the dish. It’s clear Lombardi’s takes pride in using quality ingredients and traditional recipes.
Service was prompt and friendly, and the staff made great recommendations. The garlic bread starter was also a hit—crispy, buttery, and loaded with flavor.
Parking was easy, and the overall experience was smooth from start to finish. Whether you're a local or just passing through Long Island, Lombardi’s is a must-visit. Their Chicken Parmesan alone is worth the trip.
Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Italian comfort food done right.“

“Ordered rigatoni with meatballs and it was delicious. I like that it came wet so the pasta wasn’t dry from soaking up sauce . The meat balls were sliced and I like that again it was delicious.
Mom ordered eggplant and came with spaghetti and she liked hers too.
Thank you !“

“My food was alright i cant complain too much, I got the chicken franchese and they were decent not the best but I enjoyed them very much. a couple family members didn't enjoy their meals but they still enjoyed the atmosphere and the drinks. cool little place for a local Italian restaurant that's not in the major NY area with the best Italian food.“

“I love this restaurant, it’s definitely one of my all time favorites. It has amazing flatbread pizza with all the gourmet toppings you can think AND they have a few dinner specials that are absolutely delicious. Lastly, everything is fresh, tasty and not overly priced. If you haven’t been here you are missing out.“

“Whenever I have a craving for Italian food, this is the place that I call. The pizza is yummy. The Rhode Island calamari is amazing and the penne a la vodka hits the spot. The best part is that the taste remains the same whether you dine in or order out. I can’t say that for many restaurants. Thankfully, I can say it for Leo’s.
Enjoy.“

“It is very nice place relaxing ,good pizza ,beer…“

“Very good food The turkey and roast beef are actually cooked there so that way there's less preservatives and b******* in it The turkey by far is pretty much the best seller I've seen so far and they use very fresh ingredients. it's better than buying a breakfast sandwich that's been sitting for a few hours then just get one made to order however you want“

“Went to 88 last night with 18 people we had reservations for 8:30 pm , the accommodations , service, and and food were phenomenal . I highly recommend this restaurant. I cannot wait for my return trip to try that tomahawk steak. Eric L“

“I go to Rino's for the amazing customer service - I go back to Rino's for the delicious food. While you're waitingon the0tk0p, check out the little Italian grocery section full of imported oils and vinegar and traditional ils school pasta shapes like orecchiette.“

“Nice staff, good prices, solid Pizza. Next time I’ll have to try some kitchen food! Pizza is excellent. Almost went back for seconds lol“

“We’ve been going here for years. The food is great, the people friendly. There has been a learning curve with reopening, as a lot of the staff are new but it’s still one of the best places around.“

“Food is excellent! Especially the creamy turkey soup! Carmen at the counter is very friendly. I look forward to the daily specials.“

“Great Service and the wings are awesome!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆
Frank’s Deli is one of my favorite local spots! Their fresh sausage is absolutely amazing — you can really taste the quality. I also love their good, hearty seeded bread — perfect for sandwiches or just dipping in olive oil and provolone cheese.

Whenever they have it fresh, I always grab the broccoli rabe, Italian long hots, and eggplant caponata — they’re so flavorful On a few occasions, I’ve gotten the caponata or long hots that seemed past their prime, but that’s rare, and it doesn’t take away from how great this place usually is.

When everything’s fresh (which it usually is), Frank’s is unbeatable. It’s a neighborhood gem!“

“Coppola’s as never had a bad meal, but last night was phenomenal! We both had shrimp scampi, started out with calamari salads with creamy garlic. I add Merlot. We both had espresso and I had a cannoli the food was to die for! Nick out did himself. I couldn’t have gone anywhere else for a better meal service was wonderful atmosphere was good .“

“the food is great there i tried some of the baked ziti and the wings and my family ordered from there half a tray of seafood too of everything it was to die for even thou i cant eat shrimp and lobster“

“Great Service and the wings are awesome!“

“We have been ordering take out at the New Paltz location for years and always, always have had the best meals ever! We have eaten in the restaurant a few times too, and the staff was so nice and accommodating. But the best is just getting an absolutely tasty meal to eat at home after a busy day. The prices are reasonable and portions are huge! My husband and I highly recommend Pasqule's!“

“The Best pizza I’ve had since coming back to NY!!!❤️“

“We love Maganini winery, the food is amazing, we love the wine, the staff is fantastic, and so are the owners. We go to Maganini whenever we are in the area, sometimes that’s every weekend. The live music is great, and we love the fact that they host different events. You have to try one of there 6 course meals.“

“We ordered trays of wraps and salads yesterday for my daughter in laws baby shower. Every wrap was delicious, fresh and beautifully laid out on trays. The macaroni and potato salad were just like homemade! It was all perfect for the occasion! Will definitely use them for every party!!“

“I order every weekend and the food is fantastic, from the sandwiches to the pizza , Great Service and Great Atmosphere, Try the Lucy’s Pizza 👍🏻“

“from the I r dinners to pizza ALWAYS VERY GOOD FOOD!!!!! PORTIOB SIZE,SERVICE & FOOD VERY GOOD!!!“

“What a Joy to have this place on our way home to Kerhonkson.

We lucked out and landed on a Tuesday in which there is a special promotion for a pie. Not that you need one because the pies at GP are astronomical (and delicious).

I stopped by with my 3yr old and pregnant wife , and we didn't have to break the piggy bank to satisfy our cravings, which were insatiable.

I believe it was the owners who served us then his team mates who were all graceful and professional.

Tell you what, I think we'll stop by again.

Keep it up keep it real!“

“Good food but be careful using your debit card here. It took them 2 weeks to process their transactions for the charge to finally hit my bank. No joke!!! It took 2 WEEKS for the charge to hit my bank account!!!“

“Best italian food around !😁❣️“

“Whoever said the garlic knots were overcooked and burnt lied so hard. These are absolutely perfect, and whoever said the people that run the place aren’t Italian, NEWS FLASH not all pizza places are run by italians. Relax Karens, thanks for great garlic knots. (i’m fully italian trust)“

“Maria and her team are fantastic - amazing - wonderful. She is a consummate professional, easy to communicate with, and provides the most delicious, satisfying food and impeccable service. She helped pull together a custom dinner for 80+ starving rock climbers without skipping a beat. She predicted our hungry behavior better than I could!! Everyone raved about the food (pasta, salad, main dishes, gluten free pasta, cookies = delish!), and we can't wait to come back to New Paltz and work with her again in the future. THANK YOU AGAIN, MARIA! YOU ARE A ROCKSTAR!“

“Wonderful“

“Very pleasant surprise! It was an AARP Promotion - free slice and beverage after speaking with an AARP volunteer. Never knew about Rocco's before this invitation to lunch. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our pepperoni slices and bottled iced tea. We were treated just as politely with our free meal as if we reached in our pocket to pay. We will definitely return for lunch/dinner when our travels bring us to New Paltz again!“

“This place is a casual pizzeria with really good other options as well.
Specifically my friends and I ordered a chicken parm sandwich, Italian combo hero, and the steak pesto combo, as well as drinks. The portions were generous and the food was delicious. We went there for lunch and they were fast enough for everything to go there as a lunch break again.
$10- $15 a meal including tip to the server.

Vegetarian options: Lots of sauces without meat, just ask.

Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating just let them know before you order.

Kid-friendliness: It’s a very casual environment you would have no problems with children being children“

“They have GIANT pizzas every night which are awesome and large pizza every Tuesday only $10.99, you can’t cook for much less and in the summer no one wants to they always say 20 minutes but they have it ready in less than half the time Definitely going through the summer every week, after we go back to giant pizzas but they are so big we ask them to double cut“
