Italian Restaurants near Pearl River

“Great food, great service“

“Being from Pearl River upset I never came here sooner. The food was excellent after being delivered fresh n hot. The delivery driver was nice enough to offer some suggestions for next time which my mother and I took him up on and we're extremely happy with. Food always comes in a clean hot bag that keeps food fresh. There cannolis are by far the best I've ever had. Hence the 5 stars I'd give 10 if possible highly recommend“

“One of our favorite restaurants! The food is incredibly flavorful, and everyone from the owner to the greeter to the waiters are a pleasure to talk with, making the experience that much better. It can get a bit noisy, but the tables are spaced so you're not right on top of your neighbor. Suggestions- Apps- Malfatti, Polpette, Cauliflower Sformatino Main- Spinach & Roasted Garlic Risotto, Cherry Braised Short Ribs, Sunday Gravy, Braised Veal Cheek. Dessert- Beignets, Carrot Cake These are our favorites, but I've heard no complaints about any dishes.“

“Amazing food and service! We ordered the beef nachos to share and I got the taco with steak and boy do they bless it with the portions! I was visiting and a friend brought me here so definitely would want to come back next time I’m around!“

“Eggplant parm dinner delicious, second time ordering. I was ordering Italian dinners from some other local restaurants. But coworkers raved about the pizza, and fb best of bergen people raved about the eggplant parm.. so I had to try. This place is truly better. Definately check them out!“

“Food, service, accommodations, patience, and did I mention the food, especially the pastas were nothing short of amazing. This is the first time in a while where I was impressed with the costumer service of everyone from the hostess to the waiter and all staff. We weren’t rushed whatsoever and somehow sat talking for several hours without the slightest animosity from the staff. I will be back!!Parking: Easy and no valet“

“Great food and service. We have celebrated several special occasions here“

“Went for dinner last night with my husband. A wonderfully unpretentious spot. BYOB. Quite possibly the best Italian food I've ever had. Service was great. I can't believe it took us this long to find. Will absolutely frequent regularly go forward!“

“the pizza was so stringy, and warm, it was definitely hand made and never frozen, the music playing really brings up the mood and was easy to order, a single slice is only 3 bucks (minus tax) and it is very wheelchair friendly, the chairs are not screwed to the floor so you can move chairs for the wheelchair.“

“Anything you order from them you will not be disappointed. Very friendly staff and the owner gets to know his customers.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"Bob's Thin Crust Pizza is a slice of heaven! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the aroma of freshly baked dough and savory toppings. The thin crust is perfectly crispy, providing the ideal base for their mouthwatering creations. Every bite bursts with flavor, and each pizza is crafted with care and attention to detail. Whether you're a traditionalist or an adventurous eater, Bob's has something to satisfy every palate. Hands down the best pizza joint in town!"“

“Along with Italian Riviera in Waldwick, this is the preeminent Italian delicatessen in all of Bergen County and its immediate surrounding area. The food is great. A lot of homemade stuff, sandwiches are stuffed, ingredients are top notch. Mom is an excellent cook, her eggplant parm, broccoli rabe are off the charts. Her two boys mainly look after the customers, they're quick, friendly and always smiling. Small storefront, very clean but humongous on the taste buds.“

“Friendly staff, great food! Cool location but should be more centrally located. Too good to be kept a secret :)“

“Absolutely amazing. Julia was our waitress and she was very attentive but not overbearing like others can be. She knew when to come and check on us and when we just wanted to be. Food was as always, delicious.“

“This place is the bomb! Went there for the first time on Saturday and went there 3 days in a row afterwards because we fell in love with their pizza. It’s the best pizza in the area, bar none.It’s not your typical pizza like Rays. Pizza here is Neapolitan. The dough is amazing. I typically never eat pizza crusts. But here, I devour them. While all the pizzas are delicious, Diavola pizza is out of this world good.Service is great as well. Very prompt. Everyone is incredibly friendly. Got to chat with one of the owners, and the actual pizza maker, Antonio, who is just the sweetest guy.Also, although they sell wine, you can bring your own with no corkage fee!Just go. You won’t regret it.“

“Today I brought the Boys to Due Fratelli in Hawthorne. Little did I know we had been here years ago when it was Primo Amore !!! A very special thanks to Briana who went above and beyond for our crew of eleven. Not only was the service impeccable, but she gave us a Veteran discount and brought us an additional order of some mighty good Cannoli!! For the most reasonably priced Italian restaurant we've been to , I highly recommend Due Fratelli. We only had one appetizer which was the Fried Calamari which was excellent. For our entree we had : Italian Wrap , Eggplant Parmigiana, Spaghetti and Meatballs, Veal Piccata, Chicken Parmigiana, Veal Salvational, Chicken Mediterranean, Chicken Scarpariello . Cappuccino followed with Cannoli, Cheesecake, and a Pistachio Cake that was off the charts !“

“Came in for Friday evening take out. Love watching a glimpse of the cooking in the back and appreciate the zeppoli treats. Not just pizza it is authentic Italian cuisine. Never a bad meal.“

“We've been going here for years. I'm so glad it's opened again and the new owners are actually the people that worked there previously before it closed down. They now accept other payment besides cash. Food is good. People that work there are friendly and appreciate their customers.“

“In my opinion, Perusia has the best thin crust pizza in town, we also loved the mussels, ravioli, bolognese, & tortellini. We were there for our Daughters birthday party today, and she and her friends loved the pizza, spaghetti & meatballs, & the pasta pomodoro and had a great time. The staff were incredibly helpful and nice, they held our birthday cake overnight for us and allowed us to decorate the table an hour before hand while the kids were at the escape room in the next shopping center. The restaurant is comfortable and clean. Thank you so much.“

“My good friend and myself stumbled into Dolce Vita not too long ago when it was the only restaurant in Nyack that was opened very late. We struck gold. We have been back several times and the food, the service, the owner, the atmosphere are the very best . All are wonderful.“

“Hi, just wanted to say. How great this place is. I ordered on Satuday. They forgot to add my 2 chicken empanadas to my pick up oder. I called and left a message but they were closed. I called on Monday spoke to Stepanie and she was very apologetic. She suggested i pick them up. Which I did. Long story short. They replaced it with 4 empanadas. Great customer service. Empanadas are delicious. Recommend highly..Many blessings for their business.. Will order again...“

“Amazing staff, delicious food, the perfect spot for your event! John was such a pleasure to work with. He took care of every need and made sure that my event went perfectly. My family and I were beyond happy with everything and enjoyed having the private space for us and our guests. Can’t recommend enough and will def be coming back! Thanks again iachetti’s kitchen for everything!“

“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 .“

“Excellent service, the food is great, good portions, good presentation, Ms. Giovanna is very jealous with the presentation of the food and always attentive to the smallest detail, it is a place that I would definitely recommend 100%, it is small and very busy so the waiting time is a bit long.“

“Wow. Great restaurant. While it was a bit pricey, the portions were very nice and the food was incredible. Don’t skip the arancini or homemade tiramisu. Alessandro was our waiter and the service was impecable. Thank you for a great night out!“

“UPDATE AT THE END;I ordered online ahead of time to have my order ready on time, when I arrived in the store, the worker at the counter was choosing his priorities of personal life over the customers.He left me waiting there while my food was getting soggy more and more by the minute..He was busy catching up with some friends..When I spoke up and asked if my order is ready, the friend backed off to let me through to the counter, but this lovely worker took the opportunity to now call another friend over Video call to show him who just came in to the store.......To the business owner, if you want to have a good name, please make sure to talk to the worker that worked at the counter on March 30th at 11:45 - 11:55 pm.----UPDATE.A few minutes after posting the review, I got a reply from the owner that he will look into this.The next morning I got a call from him that he looked at the CCTV footage and wants to hear more details from me.I gave him the full story and he said that he will talk to the worker.I got a call from him not too long after the initial call, and he clarified what the story was and that the company is taking full responsibility on this.Now, after this I can proudly say, the customers service is 10 out of 5, awesome and amazing to deal with responsible people, a mistake is a mistake.“

“If fresh authentic homemade pasta is what you crave, this is the place to go. Food is delicious and of high quality. You can taste that everything is authenticly Italian homemade with love and care. It's a limited menu but that is how they can put out such high quality. Prices are not cheap but worth it for the quality and execution. It's a small place with only few tables but we went for lunch and not a problem getting a table. BTW, it's a BYOB“

“This little pizzeria has the cutest little front. It's across the street from the library and it has little seats outside. You could sit and have a nice cuppa coffee or slice of pizza. We like the chicken buffalo and a lot of the margarita pizzas. I love the calzones everything has been pretty good.“

“I recently needed early lunch reservations for a family gathering on a Saturday afternoon. Although the restaurant doesn't open until 4 PM, the owner was kind enough to open early to accommodate my family for a birthday celebration. This was our first time visiting Ciao Bella. It's a very quaint BYOB Italian bistro. The food was phenomenal, the service excellent and the experience delightful. Thank you to the owner for allowing us to come in early. Thank you to Emily our server who attended to our every need. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and highly recommend your excellent food and atmosphere. :-)“

“I’ve written more than one review here, probably with multiple emails, or maybe the same one. Who knows. Going on a tour de Bergen County with reviews since I no longer live in the area, and have come to find how incredibly spoiled us Bergen County folks are for the food we have access to. This place is one of them. I’ve never had pizza this good inside or outside of Bergen County. Miss this place a lot, even the lovely owners, and I stop in every trip back to get a slice that I eat straight away—because it’s the only way. Gonna have to plan another trip. Perfecto pizza. Probably can only get better in literal Italy.“

“Great ambience and delicious food worth coming back to over and over“

“Both my husband and I visit at least once a week for lunch and take the family on Saturday nights for dinner….. love ❤️ ❤️ ? the place… we have our regular waitress”Anna” who has been waiting on us for almost three years since we “found” the place… it is our second home … they treat us like family…. Five stars from us‼️“

“I come here every once in a while. It's quite nice, the food is really good and reasonably priced. They also have a nice selection of gluten-free menu options. I'm not gluten-free, but recently, it's been something I look out for and notice because I love someone who is Celiac. Most recently, I came for my birthday, and they were able to modify items on the menu to custom create what I was looking for! (always a plus)Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free optionsKid-friendliness: Very kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: It's on one level with no steps but tight might be hard to navigate with a chair“

“The best“

“If you want top notch food and service, you need go to this restaurant. I first went to Justin's few years ago. We don't get to go as much now because we have moved, but it's as delicious as ever! We took my children here for my bday dinner. We drove few minutes because we love this place so much.“

“Had a wonderful experience at al di la! We arrived a little before 12 pm and was empty so we got to enjoy the quiet but it got filled up while we were sitting. The atmosphere is calm. There isn't a very bug menu but the food is really good. We had their famous salad pizza and didn't disappoint! We also ordered a hot coca which was perfect for this cold rainy day and a delicious salmon pizzaoili. The Eggplant rollantini was good as well. Will definitely be coming back here!“

“A very well staffed, friendly, and delicious restaurant that has some of the most delicious pizza and food in Westchester. A huge selection of creative and sold school pizzas fired up just right and prepared perfectly. Never short on staff or good service. The only pizza I'll eat outside of nyc.“

“If it’s brunch, lunch or dinner Just Janice is the perfect spot. Amazing staff and great food. Couple favorites are the pancakes for brunch, fish tacos for lunch and for dinner definitely penne vodka. Janice and Ali are so sweet and treat everyone like family!“

“Great Place,Great Food,Very Friendly people working, Been there 3 times in two weeks and have had nothing but good things to say. Thanks for a great experience“

“Ordered cutlets and meatballs for a party for 30 and everyone raved about how good it was!!“

“The food from Giulio's never disappoints! The food is excellent-especially the Dover sole, which is fillleted table side! The ambiance of Giulio's is like none other! The restaurant is a beautiful Victorian style home from the late 1800s. It is decorated perfectly, creating an attracting atmosphere! My family and I always have an enjoyable and memorable time at Giulio's, whether it's a party for an event or a family dinner.“

“It is one the best pies around and you have to go and enjoy the quality of the pie.. sauce crust cheese... always consistent! all so evenly prepared... dinners are solid as well.. order a pie as soon as u get there.. then review the menu for dinner!“

“very nice place and the food was delicious!“

“My boyfriend and I celebrated our 3-year anniversary at this restaurant, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of phenomenal. The flavors and taste of the dishes were absolutely delicious, leaving me wanting more with each bite. Not only that, but the service was impeccable. The manager, Tommy, and our waiter were incredibly attentive and treated us with such warmth and hospitality, making us feel incredibly welcome. Overall, it was an amazing dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service.“

“Great food! Will be back again!“

“very nice place and the food was delicious!“

“I have passed this place thousands of times, but never ate here. I stopped in tonight and was pleasantly surprised. We ordered pizza, 2 heroes and some cannoli's to go. The pizza was excellent and in my opinion, better than the pizza at other nearby restaurants! The heroes also got great reviews!! Although I'm not a huge fan of cannoli's, they were very good and hit the spot :) I have no idea why it took me so long to try this place out, but I will def. be back! The staff was also super friendly.“

“One of the best pizzas I have had in NJ if not the best. Everything was spot on from the dough to the sauce to the amount of cheese and toppings. It’s so good that my 2-year-old daughter who hates pizza ate a whole slice for the first time. The people there are nice as well. Solid pizza spot ? I highly recommend it.“

“Just ate at Pesto. Great meal with friends. Fried artichoke appetizer was delicious. Brisket Ravioli appetizer was also delicious. Lobster & scallops with a light red sauce was fantastic. Asked them to replace the cream sauce. They were happy to comply. Still considering dessert!$“
