50 Best Italian Restaurants near Pelham

“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!“

“Wonderful experience, beginning to end, with the star of the show being the excellent and tasty food. We each had something different, didn’t wait long for the meal, and it was excellent all round. I had the Chicken Fontanella and the mashed potatoes and it was exquisite. Thanks for the wonderful lunch.“

“Great NY Pizza. We have fresh pie, Excellent“

“The food was very good. Everything was fresh and had great flavor. Wide selection of options so good for families. The service was not good. It took forever to get menus (we had to ask eventually) and it was almost half hour before we got our drinks and placed our order. Even more odd, we never knew who our waiter was. Normally they introduce themselves but I felt like we ordered from two or three different people. The value and quality was great. The amount of food we got for the price was enough to feed more than our table of 5. This is good value spot for big families to get an affordable and quality dinner Overall, not a terrible experience and would try again. If the service had been on par, this would've been a 5 easily.“

“It’s a restaurant that’s reminds me of my childhood and my early Twenties that was my go to Italian restaurant. I loved everything about this place and enjoyed the great food. I took my wife to celebrate our birthday together and talked about how amazing it was growing up in this neighborhood.“

“It’s great place with very delicious pasta and artesanal pizza! 🍝🍕“

“We used to frequent the Astoria location which was always so great. The new Manhattan location is no different. Somewhat smaller, but just very cozy and very nice looking. Amazing food as always. The flavors and taste are just the best. No matter what you order you will not go wrong. The service is top notch and Rocco and his staff are just the best at what they do. Just go, you won't regret it.“

“Rialto was a wonderful experience. From the moment we entered we were greeted with a smile & escorted through the modernly adorned decor of the bar & great room to a white cloth table. The waiters are very attentive & and dotting. The drinks, appetizers & entrees were fabulous & the desert divine. The owner personally checked in on us several times to make sure all was to par. Rialto surpassed our expectations & provided a wonderful evening out. Kudos to the whole team..“

“We finally made it to this Gem 💎 Italian restaurant. The authentic Italian food was a true delight Rich in flavor. Special thank you to Nicholas, who made our first experience top-notch, attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable service.  TyJason Michael for the great recommendation. “

“Go for the reviews - leave shaking your head saying “those reviews were on-point”. The only annoying part, and not worth deducting even 1/4 of a star, is the pushy “ we need your entire order right away because everything is made to order” jargon. They do it to speed you along as you can’t get your apps until you order your main meal. But even with that and not having a reserved table ready on time - this place is 100% worthy of ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 !“

“Great service and great food ! Beautiful outdoor space w fireplace“

“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.“

“My experience at Allegria Ristorante involved attentive, courteous and friendly waitstaff, a clean and well designed environment, and food that was superb. My friend and I both had the minestrone soup and the fennel salad with shrimp, expertly prepared and perfectly seasoned. Capping off our experience, our reservation was intentionally set for 6:30 PM - in August 2024, Saturday dnnertime entertainment is jazz standards in chord melody form expertly played by Raphael Silverman on a gorgeous Gibson Johnny Smith archtop guitar through a Henrikson Bud Six amp. Nice clean tone comes through very well in this setting .“

“After living out of state for the past 5 years, we needed to find a local place to have a private family luncheon after funeral services for my father-in-law. We met with Sergio on Wednesday and he completely accommodated all of our wishes for that upcoming Saturday in his beautifully appointed private room. We couldn’t have asked for a better four-course meal and the staff provided service that was top notch and utmost respectful under the circumstances. We enjoyed a memorable celebration of life! Thank you Sergio & Staff for making a very difficult day, end with warm hearts and happy bellies 🖤 Until we visit again...“

“I went here today on Valentine’s Day and it was so worth it. The 85$ pre fixe menu was fantastic. The lobster bisque was rich and the beef cheeks with risotto was delicious and including their famous baby jesus which I’ve never had before. Best bang for your buck. Everyone who worked there was amazing (especially Penelope who’s name I only got but the bartenders/servers were so
Kind) and attentive and KNOWLEDGEABLE. So friendly and the vibes are great for date nights. It really made my “holiday” and I will 100% come back.“
