50 Best Italian Restaurants near Point Lookout

“An excellent family lunch. The food was, as usual, delicious and fresh. The server was friendly and efficient. It was quiet, a real treat for this restaurant that gets noisy at dinner time. Not one complaint about the delicious appetizers and main courses..our off season choice for great Italian food. Summer parking next to impossible!“

“The food was amazing. The service superb! What more could you want??!! This was our first time here - and we definitely will be back - loved it!“

“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 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!“

“The owner is great, the bartenders are great, Kerry the manager is so kind and nice and accommodating. The food is delicious; there’s too much food there’s always at least two meals for each order the food that you make. The overall ambience is fun as the patrons that frequent this restaurant are regulars. There’s just a homey and fun tinge to this Bellmore Classic.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We had our daughter’s first birthday here and they knocked it out of the park. Anthony and John and the rest of the staff are awesome. Food was incredible. Highly recommended!“

“Ordered for the first time last night, they were super accommodating since we called at 8:45 and they close at 9:00…. They made us 5 pies and I’m was so appreciative. They were so nice and even recommended one which I absolutely loved (with potatoes!) we can’t wait to go back but to eat there so we get the Pizza Hut out of the oven! Amazing owners and such a delight to have in valley steam!! The owner explained the ingredients and concept to my husband and his friend. They can’t back telling us so about it!“

“Celebrated my 55th birthday dinner last night here and it was delish. Everything was great ! Can’t wait to go back !“

“I enjoyed this restaurant and experience and would 100% go back. The polenta fries were yummy but very salty and the arugula salad was also really good (maybe toast the pine nuts for future?). The eggplant parm was okay and my friend said it may have been lacking something. I had the clam pizza and it was very good! I love clam pizza and this is up there on the list. My friend ordered the $50ish steak and while it was good, there was too much inedible fat on it (hence the 3 rating on food). The potatoes and onions that came with it were apparently delicious!“

“My wife and I celebrated our 43rd anniversary this week. We went to la Parma- I had been there before and my wife has not but was always looking to go. Well we went tonight to celebrate and we weren’t disappointed. The food was great and plentiful, the service was very attentive and the experience was great. Thank you to Rudy who took care of us and thank you to all the people involved who made the night a great experience.“

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

“Went to the Farmingdale location last night, service was fast and great, drinks were tasty, food was excellent!“

“One of the best Italian restaurants in Lynbrook or anywhere else. They use the freshest and highest quality ingredients and prepare the food exquisitely. I ordered takeout tonight for six people in my extended family and served it family style, and everyone was raving about the food. We ordered Scallops Oreganato, Shrimp Stuffed with Crabmeat, Chicken Francese, Zuppe di Clams White Sauces and a few appetizers and it was all superbly prepared. Several of us were from other towns and repeatedly asked me how to find this place so they could visit in the near future.“

“I am in love with this place. Besides the classic Italian menu items they have unique dishes like their Blueberry Meatballs and Calamari Verde ( my favorite ) add to that the wonderful staff and you have a great place to take family and friends to.“

“The staff is outstanding 👏 👌
They are relaxed and eager to please. We were 40 people for a 50th Wedding Aniversary and allowed everyone to order from the menu.
Unheard of to serve hot specialty foods all at once. The dood was Plated with care and artistry. They served amazing Chocolate martinis and catered to everyone's wishes. The pizza looked outstanding!
I recommend this place with high 👏 praise.“

“We celebrated my dad’s 80th bday in one of the igloos. We had such a nice time. My dad loved the unique experience and the food was absolutely delicious.“

“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.“

“Came here on recommendation. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the salmon and it was the best salmon I have ever eaten. The chicken francese was also spectacular. Our waiter, Roberto went above and beyond. The manager made a point to check in at every table. I can not recommend this restaurant enough. It is a must visit.“

“Awesome food great friendly service one of our all time favorites“

“I had my son's wedding rehearsal dinner at Zona last night. I was originally booked to have the party on Saturday, but the bride came down with the flu. Gianna was so helpful and accommodating. She was able to change the date for me without hesitation. The day of the affair, the staff was so helpful in getting the room set up for us. Our waitress, Jodi, was absolutely incredible. She made sure that our guests had a fresh drink before they even realized their drink was empty. The food was delicious and plentiful. But most of all, the service that Jodi provided to us was outstanding. I would book another event at Zona without hesitation.“

“First time going there. The food was absolutely amazing! Staff greeted you with a smile and very attentive to our needs. I need to go back to try other things on the menu! Can’t wait to hang there in the Summer as well.“

“Our first time here, based upon reviews and vicinity to our home. While the food was tasty, hot and nice portions, the service was terrific the overall atmosphere was lacking. It was excessively loud, small and cramped dining area. The seating should have been about 25 not the sqeezed in seating of 36, when we sat to ate.
I recommend reservations, like we had, to sit for dinner, even on a Sunday.
My wife had the pear & walnut salad, the fusilli pasta & sausage and Italian (made in-house) cheesecake. All were great. I had the watermelon & feta salad, salmon piccata with veggies and pistachio Gelato.

It is average market priced.
Clean environment, and bathroom, but the kitchen door to the dinning room should have remained closed.
We will try it again in the near future.“

“Amazing food and Italian experience! The family atmosphere, menu specials presentation, and food make for an unbelievable experience. You are a part of their family for an evening, and boy are you lucky!“

“Steak night was fabulous. The fillet mignon was like butter and cooked to perfection. We loved the creamed spinach and the steak fries. And the special dessert. the chocolate mousse was superb. Looking forward to the next steak night in August. The owner Michael is warm and friendly. The entire staff is accommodating -particular shout out to Eric, who was a wonderful server for us, but everyone there is fabulous if you haven't tried Lennox and Park, please do. Every night is a treat.“

“Yesterday was the first time I have been to Popei’s. What a great night! From the moment we walked in the owner/chef greeted us. We sat outside in the tent with the great musician. He was very interactive, took requests. People were singing along, It’s was very enjoyable. It was very clear our waitress, Janice was extremely busy but also very thorough careful and caring. It’s obvious she cares about what she is doing and works very hard. Upon my ordering, I mentioned a food allergy Janice double checked that things were OK before she submitted the order. 2 other people came to verify before cooking my meal. The food was SO GOOD! Big portion sizes. Gave my mother dessert to celebrate her birthday. Overall, it was an absolutely fantastic night. We will be back. My only suggestion would be when the musician is taking a break to lower the background music. When he wasn’t singing, the music was still incredibly loud and we had difficulty hearing each other at the table.“

“Want to thank the folks at Tre Scalini for helping me organize a funeral luncheon for my brother in law’s mom. They are not from the area and tasked us with finding a place near Pine Lawn. The team was easy to work with, accommodated all of the family’s allergies and was affordable. We can’t thank them enough! Highly recommend.“

“Family place...always good...and very reasonable...like eating at momma's....Really a well kept secret by those who think food is more important than a perfectly lit room...must try....you will make friends there.“

“Don't add salt or sauce. Try the food first. Then you will realize you don't need to add anything. Everything on the menu is cooked to perfection. If this restaurant was in Pretoria we would be locals. The staff and hands on owners are amazing. The service was fantastic and the food next level. In all our travels this was the best destination by far. We hope to see you again soon. Thank you for taking care of us. Ps the guesthouse is just as fantastic. Charlene and Sheriden“

“Went in with a party of 10. 4 of us eat gluten free. The owner came over and explained everything we could have, which was a lot. They have gf pasta. And said that if we call ahead they will make custom meals like gluten free chicken parmigiana. Joe took our order and remembered everything perfectly. We will definitely be back!“

“As a restaurant owner, I never go out and order chicken Parm probably had the best chicken Parm I ever had in my life. The atmosphere is great. The service is great. Just an all-around great place. The food was fantastic. Three times so far to try everything on the menu highly recommended referred by Mr. Michael.“

“The owners are the nicest people. We loved the burrata spicy rigatoni pizza ! The focaccia bread is made in house and is delicious ! The Malfadine pasta is a must. We loved the short rib pasta. And you have to finish with the lemon sorbeto it is like you are in the Amalfi coast. We have been here for Mother’s Day pre fix dinner menu the vongole pasta was amazing and the filet mignon! We would love to have our rehearsal dinner here.“

“I just had my daughter’s baptism at Fabio’s. From the food to the service everything was amazing! My guests were raving about the food. We did family style and it was more than enough food. We even had leftovers to take home! Fabio went above and beyond helping us set up the decorations the night before my party. We never felt rushed (we were there til 1am). He wants his guests to have a great experience and we did! Thanks to Fabio, Rose, Marty and the entire staff for a great party!“

“It's been a long time since I've eaten here and wish it was longer!! Hair in my food and waiter didn't even apologize! Terrible service and the food was sub par!!“

“Best Pizza in New York, the owner of Frank is a staple of the community.“

“Shoutout our server Leslie! She was so nice!

Great food and cocktails! Loved the pizza. Sitting at the hightops with the street views was nice!

The interior of the restaurant is so beautiful too! Very unique!“

“Very cozy restaurant. My first time here and I highly recommend. Service was great and food was extremely tasteful“

“Meta always goes above and beyond for a fabulous dining experience. This past Sunday, I called to see if it was possible to bring in an Elvis impersonator for my Dad who is in remission from cancer. Not only was Roberto and his staff receptive to the idea, the whole restaurant was singing along with Elvis and all of us. This night was truly magical and I cannot thank Roberto and his staff enough for making my Dad’s dining experience so memorable. The food was amazing, the drinks were flowing and the dessert was delicious. If you haven’t tried Meta, I highly recommend this fine restaurant for a wonderful night 🎉“

“After spending three weeks traveling throughout Italy, I can honestly say Il Gufo was better than anything we had there. Every dish was outstanding. The pizza was phenomenal, the shrimp risotto was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, the meatballs were incredible, and the artichokes were some of the best I've ever had.
My wife, daughter, and I sat outside, and the atmosphere was perfect—relaxed, welcoming, and exactly what you want for a family dinner. Samantha was an exceptional server, attentive, friendly, and made the entire experience even better. The rest of the staff was just as warm and accommodating.
From the food to the service to the atmosphere, everything exceeded our expectations. It was an unforgettable dining experience, and we'll absolutely be back. Highly recommend!“

“My wife and I recently hosted a baby shower for our daughter. To say the party was excellent wouldn’t be accurate. It was more than excellent. The food, the service, the staff could not have been better. All of the 55 guests raved about every aspect of the gathering. Many of these guests had never been to Bacaro before but now said they would definitely be coming back. If I had to come up with one negative… I couldn’t. Thanks for making a special day everything we could have hoped for.“

“I had a great experience at La Bottega. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect place for a meal with family or friends. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the visit. From the appetizers to the dessert, every dish was well-prepared and delicious. I would definitely recommend La Bottega to anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine and excellent service. I’ll be coming back again soon!“

“Fantastic meal! Highly recommend.“
