8 Best Italian Restaurants near Nassau

“Today we tried Zia's burgers! This was a great burger! Done perfectly. We had a large order with people over so we had it delivered. The delivery person was on time, very helpful and nice. We had their Salad which was large, delicious and filling. The Chicken Parm sub was so large we have more for tomorrow. Looks like Pizza is not the only thing they do well! Feel free order from their extensive menu, it's all great! See the photo- I love the "Z" on the roll!“

“My family, friends, and I are constantly pleased with Nic's! The restaurant itself is immaculate. No exaggeration, probably the cleanest restaurant I have ever eaten in. I have dined at Nic's probably around 20 times, and I have never had a bad meal. All food is fresh and prepared daily right in the kitchen. We are fortunate to have a place like Nic's here in East Greenbush. The owners are hands-on, and it shows in every aspect of the business. Thanks again for a great meal.“

“Best pizza within a 30 mile radius. The owner is a stand up guy and they always over-deliver. Delivery drivers are very polite. The order that arrives is always the same as what I ordered. Great place with great customer service and amazing food!“

“Won't go anywhere else for pizza on this side of the river, and I've tried them all. Best price and quality for pizza/wings, and their pasta dishes are excellent as well. Only complaint is the limited hours, I wish I could eat here everyday.Parking: 15 minute parking for about 5 cars in front of store if empty“

“Had a friend recommend this place a while back and I've been a repeat customer ever since. Delivery time is always reasonable, and the food is always amazing. I usually go for just pizza and wings, but anytime I've branched out and tried something new I've never been disappointed. 5/5 definitely recommend!!“

“Glad to have had the opportunity to visit this well known local spot while visiting the area. Unlike any pizza joint experience i’ve ever had. First we ordered at a counter before being escorted through the back of a narrow alley into a small garden seating area. nothing formal, all low key.The food came out quick and the service was friendly.the pizza itself was some of the best i’ve ever had. very doughy with unique flavor that almost melts in your mouth. there was a perfect amount of seasoning over fresh mozzarella cheese. I like the options of various doughs to try as well. We went with the standard dough to get the original flavor. Also tried the garlic bread and house made meatballs. The sauce for both was equally delicious. I hope to have the opportunity to re-visit this location to try some of the speciality pizza and pasta options. Very highly recommended ? ? ?“

“First time visit to La Perla in Averill Park, NY Thursday 8/17/23 6:30pm reservation. We came because of the music by The Next Chapter, Alan Saunders & Mike Derrico formerly of the Good for the Soul band that played at our wedding in 2006. They were set up in an nice courtyard at the rear of the restaurant, but an hour later had to move inside due to the rain.Very prompt service by the staff. We ordered drinks and looked over the menu. We settled on two appetizers: eggplant rollatini ($20) and the clams casino ($22). Note: clams are offered in 6 different styles. Italian style entrees from $18-33, more for specialty fish entrees i.e. zuppa de pesce $51. This is a fine dining restaurant offering well prepared and a variety of dinners. Bill was $100. for two meals & four alcoholic beverages.We ended our evening at the unique bar & dining area where we could still see & hear the band.This place also offers overnight accommodations & is an event venue.A very good first visit here.Restaurant Hours of Operation: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday4PM - 9PMFriday & Saturday4PM - 10PMSunday3pm-9pmRestaurant is closed on Tuesdays.
