50 Best Italian Restaurants near Mt Vernon

“Was there last night. Vlad is awesome. His Martinis are excellent and his service is top notch. Had the ravioli which was amazing. Will definitely be back.“

“Joe’s Fleetwood Pizzeria in Mount Vernon is a true hidden gem! Hands down the BEST pizza I’ve ever had—the crust is perfectly crisp yet chewy, the sauce is full of flavor, and the cheese is spot on. Their famous Sicilian slice is a must, but don’t sleep on the Caesar salad with grilled chicken—it’s incredible.

The guys behind the counter are top tier—friendly, accommodating and make you feel right at home. If you’re anywhere near Mount Vernon, stop here. One slice and you’ll understand why I’m hooked.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

THIS PLACE!! After a long international flight into JFK and driving back to Boston with hungry kids, I stumbled on Da Giorgio, and it changed everything. The restaurant was packed but we were seated in minutes, surrounded by people talking, laughing, and enjoying themselves.

Our waiter was attentive, dinner started with fresh homemade baked bread and churned butter. Everything looked handpicked, fresh that day, and every dish was outstanding. My wife’s seafood fra diavolo was the best she’s ever had, my kids devoured their pasta, and my spaghetti and meatballs were so good I had to admit (sorry Mom in heaven), even though I'd get slapped for saying, they were the best I’ve ever tasted.

The chef even came out to greet guests.. a rare and special touch. I’ll be stopping here every trip into the City, and I can’t wait to dive deeper and deeper into the extensive and authentic menu. Truly amazing!“

“The food, service were outstanding. I’ll be back the next time I’m in NY.“

“The food quality was noticeably better than just okay. The selection presents varied meal options. As usual, I found the sweet options most memorable. To highlight first, the staff's service is exceptional. I'm excited to try more items here.“

“I love Bigoi Venezia! Their pasta is amazing!“

“My first time here but have been following them for years. OMG, the real deal! I was in a rush so ordered two sandwiches and three pies for a pick-up, but saw that tire was stocked with authentic Italian products so want to come back and shop!“

“Vegan Friendly ❤️🩷 Great place.“

“By far the best new restaurant in Mamaroneck in years! great food and service.“

“I took my family to la riserva last week. We had an amazing dinner. My girls loved the pasta fagioli!!! They also enjoyed their meals; pasta with marinara and the chicken parmigiana with green beans. My husband and I equally enjoyed our meals. The service was great. Our waitress was knowledgeable and everything came out in a timely manner. I will definitely recommend la riserva to my friends.“

“One word DIABLO !!!🙏❤️ Frost Beer was ice cold !!!“

“If you go in New York absolutely you have to go to taste the food in La voglia restaurant. I recommend to everyone.“

“Love this place, everything is fresh and delicious and the staff is super nice !“

“Wife and I flew into JFK late one Friday. We were famished , it was 1030 by the time we got to Arthur Ave.. We parked and walked , came upon people eating alfresco. We asked if any place was still serving. The "MAN" Vic asked what we would like, from one of the tables. In no time we had a bottle of Vino Tinto in front of us and people were making us try food they were dining on. I felt like I was at my friends ,' THE PIAZZAS " house. The food was excellent and the people better. Can not wait to go back !“

“Basilico Restaurant was fantastic. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and comfortable. Everything—from the pasta to the dessert—tasted amazing. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“They haven't changed their ingredients at all it's nothing like being able to enjoy s childhood fav... that's rare. I remembered when they first open. Till this day they still will give a free pizza for every 10 pizzas you purchase. Keep your coupons they give you! It's how you get your free pizza.“
