50 Best Italian Restaurants near New Hyde Park

“Hands down The best Brick oven pizza I ever tasted!!! Ultra thin Crispy crust with fresh mozzarella and their very own amazing sauce with a hint of their secret ingredient.“

“My wife and I have ordered from Previti for several years now thru Door Dash. the food has always been excellent. The other day I had a call from Previti. It was the owner, Joe. He told me that my mother had wandered in after having her car bumper come completely loose on Marcus Ave. She had no phone, and was shaken up by the whole ordeal. Joe called me for her, and gave her a cup of hot tea. I went over, picked her up and got her home. Later my wife and I returned to pick up her car. We decided to eat dinner there and take advantage of the pasta night specials. The lasagna and the rigatoni with meat sauce were both excellent. Thank you Joe and staff for taking good care of my mother, and providing us with an excellent meal! All the best!“

“AMAZING!! Could very well be the BEST tasting pizza in Long Island. The staff is great, place is clean and the pizza is TOP of the TOP!“

“Umbertos with a calmer vibe... some of my friends argue that the pizza is better at Angolletos . Personally, LOVE them both Equally. Specifically the Sicillian. Over all a GREAT pizzeria especially if you like a quieter more intimate eating experience... and GREAT pizza or plate of food. On a scale of 1-10 i give it a 10. If i was in the band Spinal Tap. Id give it an 11😎😁...... 🍕🍕🍕🤤👍🏽👍🏽“

“THIS is the place to cater your next affair ! Don’t hesitate, book it now ! My wife and I recently experienced the joy of hosting my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding rehearsal dinner for seventy family members and out-of-town friends. We have been regular customers at Umberto’s Pizzeria for years, next door to the restaurant, getting our weekly Sunday or Monday night pizza pie. Nevertheless, we had never previously ventured into their restaurant next door. What a pleasant surprise ! What a smart decision to book the party here at the renowned Umberto’s of New Hyde Park. The second floor of the restaurant opens up into a spacious, light-filled, warm and welcoming room, big enough to feel like a proper celebration event space. There was plenty of room for our family and friends to mingle and even plenty of space for the several toddlers in attendance to sit and play, and run around. They enjoyed the party as much as anyone ! The catering menu provided a wide variety of choices from appetizers, salads, pastas and main courses from which our son and daughter-in-law selected from to satisfy the preferences of all of our guests. The food was delicious, as we’ve come to expect. Also, thank goodness each table received a Grandma’s Pizza. An affair at Umberto’s isn’t complete without a taste of the Grandma Pizza. The wait staff couldn’t have been any more attentive and solicitous. They were sensational. It’s obvious what a well managed team this is, kudos to Katy and Gaetano. Thank you Umberto’s for making this a most memorable affair. One minor note - The menu, to our surprise, doesn’t include dessert. What’s an Italian meal without a tiramasu, cannoli, or napoleon ? Thus, we brought our own which was fine but less satisfying than an Italian pastry to top off the night. - Bruce & Melanie Miller“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A true Italian Joint ! Amatriciana, Carbonara and Cacio e Pepe made to perfection! . Appetizers are very good as well my favorite is the fried artichokes. Tried the special mozzarella in carrozza with anchiove and it was very good. Portions are plentiful and it's a high quality pasta. Highly recommend!“

“Chef Chris was professional, punctual, and helped me host the most amazing dinner party for my mom‘s birthday in the Hamptons. He created a fantastic menu and was able to accommodate all dietary restrictions while keeping the meal, smooth, consistent, and absolutely delicious. He is not only a delight to work with, but incredibly easy to coordinate with. He was such a pleasure to have in the kitchen, helped me prepare the table and made me feel at ease, even though it was very probable that our outdoor celebration might get ruined by the rain. 12 out of 10 if you’re hosting a dinner party in the Hamptons or in Aspen, he is your guy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone for any occasion.“

“Always an A+. We have been coming for years because you cannot beat the quality of the food, service and ambiance. Fabio and the entire staff make you feel like family. We use them to cater all of our events and holidays. Such a great place!“

“My go to place for special occasions. Mike always makes us feel at home. Not only is the food fantastic, but the staff is helpful and kind. They even went out of their way to help my handicap mother get in and out of the car! Food is delicious and tons of variety when compared to the standard Italian restaurant. Great portions and even a decent amount of healthy options. Thank you to the staff for making my night even more special!“

“Excellent food. Good drinks, fabulous views, friendly staff. Definitely recommend“

“The pan seared roasted chicken is amazing!!! My family and I found this place a few weeks ago. It's a beautifully decorated, clean and fairly new establishment with a very polite staff. My children have had the ravioli, the penne and the chicken fingers and each loved their meals. It's a hidden gem that we are happy to have found :)“

“My wife and I really enjoyed the entire setting family style dinning. We both love eggplant very much the seasonings were not salty or spicy plenty of sauce stuffed with fresh ricotta cheese. All of what we could see were large entrees no fru fru at all. This is another local good place to dine in Floral Park.“

“Wonderful lunch ! Delicious food and very reasonable. Moses our waiter was so kind an attentive. He made our visit extra special. Booking my birthday lunch , can’t wait.“

“Atlantic Pizzeria on Atlantic Ave in Freeport NY- It was my first time visiting this restaurant today and though I don’t normally write reviews, I felt compelled to state what a wonderful establishment! My daughter, who is very shy, spilled a drink in there and the workers replaced it immediately at no charge and cleaned it up right away! As a parent, this meant the world to me because I did not want her to feel uncomfortable.. thank you and we will be back! Please support!“

“Cala Luna is by far the best restaurant in Mineola. Their lack of advertising and marketing keeps their business down. I recommend highly to anyone to try this place, they will not be disappointed.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Dining Experience
My daughter Victoria and I stopped by this Olive Garden at 1246 Old Country Road, and we had a wonderful experience. Our server, Ariana, was excellent—very attentive, friendly, and professional. The manager, Margarita, was also amazing and made sure everything was perfect.
The food was delicious and came out very fast, which we truly appreciated. We enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere and the outstanding attention we received throughout our visit.
We definitely will be coming back. Highly recommended!“

“Best pizza in Port Washington.“

“Great food, great service! Will be back for sure!“

“We had Thanksgiving dinner here with my two boys. The service was absolutely outstanding. Our waitress was amazing . The food was beyond what I expected. Well done!!!! The portions were beyond believable and believe it or not the take home portions were just as amazing as they were when first brought out. More than 5 stars. Excellent evening and the price was ridiculously resendable. Great job to all the cooks and the people that don't get the recognition they deserve in the preparation of this fantastic meal.“

“Great food. People are really nice as well.“

“Hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner here and we are SO glad did - everything was perfect! Everyone could not get over how delicious all the food was. Danny worked with us to create a menu that was tailored to us and our guests and we got SO much food included in the package we did. He also worked with us to create table arrangements that worked best for our event. I was worried at first that the space only being partially private and not a true private room would be an issue but it was not at all! We really didn’t need it and were happy to still get to enjoy the Sinatra singer that plays for the restaurant that night. He even came over and sang for our party and had us dance which was not expected but a fun surprise that we loved! Overall we had a great event here and I am so happy we chose them to host it!“

“My son and I went here after I did my research to find the best delis in Hell’s Kitchen, and this was consistently the top answer. We had limited time in NYC, so every place we visited had to count, and Sergimmo’s did not disappoint. I had a Caesar salad, while my son had a Pasta al Pomodoro e Basilico. Both were great, and so was the shop owner’s treatment of us, obviously not from around the area. Next time we’re in NYC, we’ll be back!“

“The meal was delicious. my son and I had the Penne Diane and asked for the chicken to be blackened which was perfect. my daughter had the Pesto Sole and said it was the best and my husband had the Snapper which was perfection.“

“Order # 6760 on 7/14/22 was cooked to perfection. Order was ready when i arrived. It was excellent t!!!“

“Excellent service food drink and ambience whether date night family night or flying solo. Italian Bistro done right. Took ole neighborhood lifetime pal Nick D'Agostino from the infamous Venezia de Notte on Central Ave in Yonkers and he dug L&P big time.“

“This is our family's absolute go-to for Italian in the area! We’ve been coming here for years, and it never misses a beat. The food is always fresh and authentic—the pizza and pasta are highlights. We regularly order takeout and it's always hot and on time. If you're looking for a reliable, delicious local spot that feels like home, this is it!“

“Food was delicious and the service was great!!! Will definitely return.“

“I came here on 5/28/25 for dinner take out/pick up. I ordered their house/garden salad with grilled chicken, Gnocchi Bolognese, and it came with I believe it is possibly fresh ricotta cheese, which was really good, and it also came with some really good bread. I am a really big salad person and I did not really like the salad or the salad dressing that it came with. My opinion, I was not a fan of the field greens, the field greens did not smell/seem as fresh, compared to other salads that I order from other places. The pasta dish was ok/good but I was not a fan of this either. I was really a fan of the side of fresh ricotta cheese and the delicious bread it came with. It seemed to have a great atmosphere and many people were there eating when I came to pick my food up. The service was good and accurate. This review is simply just my personal opinion. Photos are attached.“

“Reservations reccomended!
The food is delicious and plated well. The drinks are well made and desserts are fabulous! Put on your list!! You will definitely enjoy it!!
I will let you decide, but pricing for 2 people with cocktails, dinner, dessert and tip will run $150-$200“

“excellent wait staff. manager, always accomidating to your needs. food dabulous..lamb chops fantastic. they will try and accommodate all your needs. book a reservationn4 the weekend.“

“Got some dinner for family we were visiting. Very good food. We had Rigatoni alla Vodka, Scaloppine alla Sorrentino and Eggplant Rollatini. Everyone did agree my dish,Pollo Scarpariello, was a star. If you like a little spice, it's a winner.“

“After ordering food from here for quite some time, we finally got to the restaurant. It was even better! Great service and delicious food. We will definitely be back very soon. Love the white linguine and clam sauce and our family also enjoyed the chicken parm which was so tender and the bolognese.“

“The atmosphere was great and food tasted yummy. Since it’s my first time here, I don’t really read the menu and the staff was very patient to explain everything to us, especially to remind us not to order too many since we’ve only got two people.
Strongly recommend the mussels😋“
