50 Best Italian Restaurants near Pleasant Valley

“Just had the most amazing salad! Romana Salad with grilled chicken and balsamic dressing. So good!!!!“

“MADISON'S PIZZA CAFE in the heart of Pleasant Valley is a warm and friendly place with great pizza and many other dine in or take out menu options. There's a definite local neighborhood vibe here and the owners and staff make you feel like family. I will be back soon to work my way through that fun menu“

“My Huddy and wanted to try the pizza today. H eard great things but also stuck to our other local go too. We are so happy we tryed a slice today. Hands down the best around here. I'm from NJ and my other half is from NYC/Long Island. WE LOVE GOOD PIZZA! I highly recommend trying Benny's. Met Benny today and he and staff are on top of customer service. I'm going back tomorrow for a sandwich. The Italian Sub looks great and there is not a place around here thats makes them good. That's Benny for coming to PV.“

“First time here for a private party and i cannot say enough great things about not only the food but the staff also. By far one of the best upcoming restaurants in the Hudson valley. The pizza was so flavorful, fresh with perfect crust n that’s coming from someone whose family owned pizzeria for years. Another must have is the house made penelle which aside from my nonna making it I’ve never had in any restaurant. Last but not least the cannoli were some of the best I’ve had in months. This place is 1000% worth the drive from anywhere in the area. Will be coming back asap“

“This little Italian restaurant was a delightful surprise. We went there because it had favorable reviews. We found out that it is under new ownership as of approximately 9 months ago, late in 2024. Carlos, one of the co-owners, greeted us, cooked our food, and checked to see that everything was all right several times. He is clearly very interested in pleasing his customers.
My husband is Italian and gives the quality of the food and the expertise of its preparation high marks. We ordered two appetizers, Caesar salad and bruschetta. The Caesar salad was delicious and big enough to share. The bruschetta had wonderful flavors, was delightfully presented on a board and the thing I like the best was that the toast was not too hard to bite into.
Finally, for our meals I had a chicken parmesan sandwich which was a reasonably large portion, and my husband had lasagna. We both enjoyed every bit.
The food is prepared while you wait, so it is not fast food at all. He makes everything from scratch.
If you go in in, prepare to relax, enjoy your food and give Carlos greetings from us!
Ps. We are not related and we live in Florida, so we won't be able to go back right away. But we were visiting the area and thoroughly enjoyed our meal.“

“The best Italian 🇮🇹 restaurant in Dutchess County! We’ve been coming to Gino’s for years and the food is always spectacular!“

“Ordered rigatoni with meatballs and it was delicious. I like that it came wet so the pasta wasn’t dry from soaking up sauce . The meat balls were sliced and I like that again it was delicious.
Mom ordered eggplant and came with spaghetti and she liked hers too.
Thank you !“

“Beautiful deli , probably the most beautiful… incredible & unbeatable food , the best Italian deli 🇮🇹“

“The best pizza.“

“One of the best pizzas ive ever had“

“Fantastic pizza and friendly staff!“

“First time for Father’s Day… won’t be our last! Everything was delicious! 😋 The Filet & braised short ribs cut like butter and our server, Sierra was friendly and incredibly attentive. We are looking forward to our next visit!“

“Hands down, the best BBQ chicken pizza I’ve ever had. My whole family loves it. It’s our favorite pizza spot because of it. Only downside is the parking and the staircase when you first walk in(because you can’t push the stroller up it lol) .Only poor experience I had here is , I placed an order, and paid over the phone and asked if they wouldn’t mind bringing it out to the door so I could pull up and not have to take my kids out of the car (with the baby in the car seat lugging that thing down the street & then back with a pizza box in your hands as well as your sons hand - it’s a lot- especially if you don’t get a close parking spot, it’s a busy street) but they said they no longer do curb side pick up…Not the end of the world just annoying.But as far as the BBQ chicken pizza goes - flawless.

Parking: Parking is hard , not a lot of places to park, it’s a very busy street.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair or stroller accessible- short staircase when your first walk in the doors to get to the register/ tables/ etc.“

“Great menu and excellent service!!“

“awesome pizza!! Def recommend!“

“I randomly chose to stop along Rt. 9N to try pizza (for the first time) at "Ronzoni". I found the employees to be friendly and helpful. I decided to eat inside rather than take-out.The pizza ? was tasty ? and I would definitely stop by again next time I'm in the area“

“The customer service at this place is outstanding ! The pizza is also amazing ! We will never order from another place 😍“

“A huge thank you to Bobby and his team at the Eastdale location for accommodating our special request this morning for our Soldier! There’s nothing like bringing a taste of his favorite place to him on his graduation from Basic Training! God bless you 🇺🇸“

“thank you for the sandwiches. they hit the spot today. the dynamic duo was amazing. thank you for customizing for me. and you were so freindly on the phone. so nice to hear a smile these days. thank you. stay safe!“

“The new menu is delicious ..... It’s all Greek to me“

“I cannot recommend Mel's enough! I purchased the Holiday Catering Special for a work party and the food was amazing! I added a 1/2 tray of eggplant rollatini and also tortellini primavera and this easily fed 30 people (with leftovers!) My co-workers were raving about the food and I easily said it was all from Mel's. This special catering combo is the perfect mix for any party!!! (I will also add I ordered on Monday morning and picked up Tuesday evening! Quick service as well!!!) 👏“

“I've only had the Pizza so far (take out) but can say it's always been great“

“the food is great there i tried some of the baked ziti and the wings and my family ordered from there half a tray of seafood too of everything it was to die for even thou i cant eat shrimp and lobster“

“I'm not easily impressed but Joseph's Italian Steakhouse really hit a home run on all levels. Best Prime Rib I've ever had, so tasty and cooked perfectly. The sides we equally delicious which elevated my whole experience. The hospitality was superb and judging by the looks on other patrons' faces, I assume others had a similar experience.“

“Our guests kept going back for seconds (and thirds!), and many asked where we got the food from. It truly made the event special. Reliable service, generous portions, and unbeatable taste—Roma Deli is now our go-to for any future catering needs.“

“Great Service and the wings are awesome!“

“This is a family owned restaurant and that is what we got! Like we walked into someone’s kitchen. Gigantic cocktails fresh vegetables. I’m a vegetarian and many times a past dish will have a hint of veggies- my broccoli rabe dish was more like vegetables with some pasta. DELICIOUS! My mates had seafood and they exclaimed the freshness and how flavorful their dishes were. Professional, warm and attentive service is noted as well.“

“WOW what an eye opener, great
French & Continental cuisine, pleas read on! I am Phildo the foodie and have lived & dined in the Hudson Valley for more than 40 years. I passed this place up too many times and decided to give it a whirl.
The food is super fresh. Homemade warm biscuits started our meal off complimented by a bowl of TO DIE FOR Vichyssoise soup. The soup rivaled those In Montreal & Quebec City. Perfect balance of flavors and the broth was light and filling.
My main course, Seafood in a saffron lobster broth was perfect. Large diver scallops, PEI mussels, fresh clams and shrimp. Seafood was very fresh and delicious. The broth was velvety , smooth but bursting with flavor with hints of garlic, celery and tomato.
My wife had the Seafood crepe. Diver scallops, shrimp, mushrooms and chives . The crepe was cooking perfectly and the creamy wine sauce was absolutely perfect.
The portions are very filling what we would expect at a relaxed atmosphere establishment. The entree prices were not expensive and the 16 ounce Delmonico steak special was less expensive than a steak house and was a hit
around the room.
I can't wait to go back and sample some more of their great food.“

“Hyde Park pizza place has very good pizza more often than not. Wings were a hit but now they are overcooked. This past Sunday however I ordered BBQ chicken pizza and when I arrived 30 minutes later, they all didn't know where my pizza was. They asked if I wanted red sauce on my BBQ chicken pizza. And to top it off they had just put it in the oven. I will never get pizza on a sunday from here again. Very unhappy.“

“5 stars ***** this place is amazing! Sal and Brian know what they are doing some of the nicest people you will meet! top notch pizza !“

“Best pizza“

“Everything !!!! There food is amazing“
