50 Best Italian Restaurants near Oyster Bay

“The food was delicious and the servers were very attentive, delicious chicken franchise, and amazing pesto chicken sandwich. Even though it was lunch time three of the four of us ordered off of dinner menu. None of us like the desserts, but two of them did like the ice “

“Hands down, one of the finest restaurants on the North Shore. Be sure to make a reservation, as it's intimate. Top notch Chef with a staff to match.“

“Nice and easy pizzeria in the area :) I step in at quite night, self order and they bring our food to the table. This is just my test and my own opinion. I don't like the food at all but nothing wrong with the food and how they prepare it. My Italian husband love the food, he actually brings my order home and finish it later. I get shrimp in garlic oil and when the food comes, it isn't like I expect at all. So, all I want to say is I just like food that is not in thick flour and not too oily. Order I get, maybe it is an Italian style and that is how they prepare the food. Anyway, service is good, friendly and very family style.“

“1st off They want a credit card for a reservation. ?

2nd you get 4 shrimp for $20 and 8 extremely Al dente tortellini for $40. Granted food is really good and staff is great. If they up their portions and get rid of their little fine if you can’t make your reservation I would go back!“

“Love it there great food and staff !!!!“

“We catered our Easter dinner from Pizza Cucina in Westbury. The food was fabulous, especially the Shrimp Scampi, which is something we have not ordered as yet. The meal was on time and everyone made comments about how good the food was. Thank you for a great Easter dinner?“

“Simply put........best grandmas pizza on long island. I live a few towns over, but never stopped in this umbertos in my life ... Its a small pizzeria, but maybe that is why the pizza is outstanding. Sat at table outside..... Quality ingredients, best crust, sauce, etc . this will be my new pizza- go- to- place. Try one slice, and you will be hooked.

Vegetarian options: not sure........“

“We've passed George White Restaurant so many times and finally stopped there to dine. What a great surprise. We both loved the decor; it reminded us of Saratoga NY. We were warmly greeted, and the service was outstanding. The cocktail was spot on, and the mussels were great with the warm bread. We devoured our Filet of Sole Francese and Rigatoni Bolognese. Very fairly priced as well, yes, we will return.“

Rialto is owned and run by one of the best chefs in the world and really has the best food I’ve ever had in my life. Try this place out and you will never stop coming back. Truly a hidden treasure.“

“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.“

“We only came here because it was listed on BringFido, since we were traveling with our 20 pound Shiba Inu, Toby. What a wonderful experience that we had! The food was amazing! And we had just gotten back from the Amalfi coast in Italy. So that has to say something for this place! Jimmy, our server, was a doll and was so kind and brought things out for our dog, like water, etc. - very warm and welcoming place!!! of course we had to eat alfresco, and the traffic was a bit busy at that hour - so if it wasn’t for that noise, we would had an even greater time! But the excellent food and the excellent service more than made up for it! we will definitely be back with Toby!“

“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!“

“We just had my wife’s 40th birthday dinner at Cassarinos and all of my guest raved about the food and how friendly the workers are. I was extremely happy with how they handled the party and the food is always top notch. Wonderful place for parties or even just to go out for a dinner date. Highly recommended“

“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.“

“We had our daughter’s christening at Zona in January. Everything was wonderful. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. My family enjoyed the smaller private room with the bar and TVs. Gianna was super easy to work with and very accommodating. Thank you for everything!“

“We had a last minute reservation for 8 people, and we were lucky enough to snag a table. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE! Our entire table loved the food. From the appetizers (the warm bread, the amazing carmalized onion spread, & the Calamari), to the main courses (the NY strip steak, the shrimp, and the ravioli), to the dessert (trust me... get the bread pudding!) everything was impeccable. The service staff was also amazing, very attentive and kind. I will definitely be back!“

“Words really cannot express what a perfect setting La Parma III Italian Restaurant was for our family.
I was trying to plan a luncheon to take place after a funeral remotely from San Diego, CA, and had nothing to go on other than a recommendation from the funeral home
I called and spoke to Guido on a Friday and the lunch was being planned for the upcoming Tuesday 8-27th a few days later.
Being in the catering business myself and immediately hearing "no problem" we can do it all, was simply music to my ears. Guido said he would not be in on that Sunday when I wanted to come check it out in person but gladly provided me with the Managers name that would be available that day to meet. When I arrived at the restaurant, I met Richie, and he could not have been more helpful in confirming everything that I had expected to happen.
Not only did they have us set up in a beautiful room with everything ready to go but both Guido and Richie were there during the lunch and worked the entire event in coordination with their amazing team. From the initial contact over the phone, all the way to the completion of the lunch we could not be happier with how professional and accommodating the people at La Parma III were, especially considering we had just lost our loved one. We would call them again for this or any other meal we needed to be catered. In summary, the food and service were five stars, A+, or whatever is the best grade possible!“

“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!“
