50 Best Italian Restaurants near Montebello

“I recently stopped into Nicky’s Pizza & Deli in Montebello, NY, and wow—what a memorable visit from start to finish. The moment I walked in, the guys behind the counter greeted me like an old friend, practically welcoming me in with open arms.

I ordered their Parmesan pie and a BBQ chicken slice, while my friend went for a piping-hot Sicilian and a chicken-bacon slice. Every bite was fantastic—hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. The Parmesan pie had that perfect cheesy crisp, the BBQ chicken slice was savory and satisfying, the Sicilian arrived steaming and soft, and the chicken bacon slice was a hearty, flavorful one-two punch.

What truly stood out was their service—they made me feel like family, not just a customer. And props where they’re due: even the bathroom was clean and well-maintained, which is huge for a casual spot like this.

If you’re looking for great pizza in Montebello with fast, friendly service and a feel-good atmosphere, this place nails it. You really can’t ask for more. Highly recommended!“

“Excellent! Food was so fresh and fabulous and so was the service. Pizza crust was delicious and light. Everyone was so very nice and accommodating. Great atmosphere and concept of Pizza by the foot. So good that weekends are packed, so make a reservation or try a weeknight. You will not be disappointed!“

“Tonight I had the pleasure to dine at Bici restaurant in Ramsey, NJ. From the minute I walked in, I knew I was going to like it! You are greeted in such a warm and friendly manner. One of the owners, Marcello makes his rounds around the room speaking to his customers and making you feel at home. Everything I ordered was delicious and the waiters are so polite and attentive. Pleasant atmosphere and I will be back again. Thank you staff for your hospitality. It’s a BYOB. It’s a small restaurant with outdoor dining. Definitely 5 stars!!!!!“

“Attended a baby shower. The food was the best I have ever had in a long time. Everything was delicious. I will be back really soon“

“We have been going to Bosfa Restaurant since it opened . The food is terrific. The seafood is so fresh. I can’t say enough about it. The service great. What more can I say.“

“Always try to the best, make the customers happy, make sure they enjoy their meals. give a good service and good food.Mezza Luna Bistro .“

“Albert’s’s has been a go to favorite for many years and Albert is an excellent host. The food never disappoints and the service is always great. I recommend Albert’s HoHokus whole heartedly.“

“From the moment we walked in, the host greeted us like old friends and walked us right to our table — I instantly had a good feeling, and I was right. Our server was awesome — super friendly, knew the menu inside out, and was on top of everything all night.

The menu is classic Italian but with a twist — way more interesting than your standard North Jersey Italian spot. The ossobuco was fantastic (if I had to nitpick, I’d say the risotto could’ve used a touch less water and a heavier hand with the parm). The clams were fresh and baked to perfection, and my son devoured his ravioli. For dessert, the bread pudding was absolutely unreal — honestly worth the trip alone.

Safe to say we’ll be regulars!“

“We had a wonderful experience at this pizza place! The brick oven calzone and pizza were absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared.
What made it even more special was enjoying the meal with our grandchildren. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great spot for family time. Everyone loved the food, and every bite was truly tasty.
We’ll definitely be coming back again!“

“We held an event here recently and it went off without a hitch. The food was delicious, the team was communicative and attentive, and though the room was filled, there was plenty of space to move around. A special thank you to Ben and the wait staff for their kindness and attention to detail.“

“I order pretty frequently from Dom’s in Nanuet since I work nearby. Yesterday, when we got our order to Sloatsburg, there was an omission in the order ( we really should have checked before we left). As always, Dom’s went above and beyond to make this right. They drove my order to Sloatsburg and included several delicious extras! Their catering always makes our events delicious, but yesterday they made it extra delicious. Dom’s has amazing food and even better service.“

“We regularly have dinner at the restaurant and the food is always fresh and delicious. Hector is the most wonderful server, always so welcoming. This Friday I used their catering for an event. Mario, the owner, personally delivered the food. It was delivered hot and packaged perfectly. My guests raved over everything from the bruschetta to the chicken, eggplant, pasta to the cannolis. You also could not beat the price for this level of quality.“

“Great food, great service“

“Nice place, a little out-of-the-way, which is perfectly fine. Lots of menu choice, food is good quality, from bread and appetizers to dessert. This is a BYO place. Service was a little uneven, but that was most likely due to the fact that there was a really large party in the dining room and they tend to be high maintenance. Worth the trip.“

“Dined at Fig and Tomato on a Wednesday night with my wife. Started with the most delicious flatbread with an oil spread. Wife had a large portion of chicken Milanese with delicious burrata on top. I ate the chicken Amalfi with sausage and hot peppers. Had a perfect amount of heat and beautiful thin cutlet. Ended with homemade ice cream trio which was amazing. Waitresses did a great job keeping our meal very well timed. We’ll be back very soon.“
