50 Best Italian Restaurants near Pomona

“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.“

“Been ordering from for a bit now, when I was in Suffern to now Wesley Hills, and never had an issue until tonight. But the issue was immediately and more importantly graciously resolved by the manager on hand. I wish this was the case with all restaurants but sadly it’s not. So this says more about this establishment than anything else.“

“The food is always fresh; you can buy your fish at their market at the front of house. The restaurant can be a tad loud; but the food is outstanding, delicious, fresh and abundant. An amazing menu array, filled with everything from oysters to lobster to crab legs.In the area, Gillian’s is a quiet institution, known to locals and always serves up the freshest and the best.Enjoy!!Parking: Never had a problem in the past“

“Very nice cozy decor. Fish special was very tasty but very small portion. Crab cakes were just ok but I am really picky. The short ribs were the fave of the table. Server was very attentive. Owner visited tables and was really friendly which today is rare professionalism. Cappuccinos were great. BYOB which we love. We will be back.“

“This is not your ordinary pizza joint! ....and I ought to know, spending every Sunday at my grandparents where Fanny, my newly imported from Italy step grandmother who spoke absolutely no english would slave in her tiny box kitchen and prepare the most amazing food for her new family .......so I know Italian food and pizza. .......and so does Joe and his son Joseph, where they lovingly make and ferment for 3 days the most amazing dough utilizing imported ingredients .............which is to eventually become the best pizza you will ever eat. This is more akin to the the Pizza you would find in Italy. (think the thinnest, crispiest crust with the perfect charr from the wood burning brick oven.) San Marzano tomatoes.........fresh ricotta.........permesiano cream..........A popular favorite and one I cannot stop ordering is the 'Snow White'....Cows milk mozzarella, Creamy ricotta, Roasted garlic and drizzles with a Back pepper honey and Pecorino ramqo Cheese.....the menu is very edited and includes vegetarian choices and gluten free options. ..........Great wine selections too.....im quickly sampling every chic on the menu and have been no disappointments.. It is great to have a local place that understands the simplicity of fine ingredients and great food.“

“Huge selection of sandwich options, made with high quality ingredients. I couldn’t believe the size of the sandwiches and at such an affordable price point. The staff was also very friendly and attentive. This place is a gem. I can’t wait to go back!“

“Who knew there could be so many ways to spice up a meatball sub! When I first moved to the area, a local recommended this place. I was intrigued by all the interesting options on the menu and had to try. Although I want to try everything, I love my usual order so much that I haven’t been able to stray. My go to is the Buckwild Balls Sandwich, which I highly recommend. Sometimes the bread is a little burnt, but otherwise cooked to perfection. I will continue going back and maybe one day I’ll feel adventurous enough to stray from my usual!“

“Very friendly and attentive staff! This was a great experience. Bread came out with a plate of delicious mozzarella and tomato in olive oil (complimentary). I had shrimp parm that was very tasty. Loved the sauce. I ordered it with the roasted potatoes, and although I thought they were a bit lacking in flavor (need some spice or something), I was so happy that I had a choice of pasta, salad, or potato. My husband had the chicken sorrentino and really liked that too. He ordered it with a salad and that also was good. We ordered two desserts. Cannoli was good, but I've had better. My husband really enjoyed the banana pudding. Then they gave us zeppoles on the house, which we had to take home as we were already stuffed with good food. Highly recommend this place!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Recently enjoyed a fabulous experience at Dolce Vita! The ambiance is cozy and inviting, the staff are exceptionally welcoming, and every dish we tried was a delight. Truly a hidden gem that captures the sweet life in every bite. Can’t recommend it enough!“

“Came here to celebrate my mom's birthday. Absolutely fabulous from start to finish! The staff is warm and friendly yet professional. Eduardo, our server was attentive and on top of everything throughout the course of our dinner. From apps to entrees not a detail was overlooked. Now the food... I can't put into words how the flavors and quality of food are by far top notch. Sooo good!!! This place is a hidden gem and the food, drinks and service is amazing! Definitely will be back!!“

“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!“

“I usually try different pizzas toppings, so I always eat the same thing. Haven't been disappointed yet. The place is a little dated, but so are most pizza places. If you are going there to eat pizza and not the walls, I would recommend this place to you.“

“It’s been very hard to find good cheese anywhere. The Fiore di Sardegna is fresh and abundant here! The frozen dinners tasted fresh after heating, olives and mozzarella were amazing, olive oil was full flavored, and the homemade pasta is outrageous! Love this place! I Left a lot poorer than I was when I walked in.“

“After a night of no sleep and a rough work day I dreaded the thought of going home to cook dinner. I didn't want to order fast food garbage. I went into my Facebook page and saw this fabulous photo of trays of chicken caprese. Wow. It looked amazing. Having never tried it and Doms being on my way home, I figured I'd give it a try. I was greeted by Michael who was super nice and even asked me how my day was! So sweet. I brought my tray home happy to warm it up and serve up to my family. They loved it! I loved it too. It warmed up nicely and hubby and I were able to have some for lunch the next day! A home cooked meal on a busy week night for $40? I'm sold. 4 meals at McDonald's is about $40 these days or more! Hello Doms, Goodbye Fast Food.“

“This is a real pizza place. The pizza is awesome. They have all kinds of fancy slices during the day. The prices are on par with the area. The staff is great and will take care of your needs. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed.“

“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.“

“Delicious!Amazing variety!Kindest owners. Helpful and friendly. They make you feel like family.Nice decor, good location, great vibe.My whole family loved eating pizza there after a walk around Rockland Lake. Had an amazing spread from there at a toddlers bday party which prompted the post park visit.Vegetarian options: It's pizza“

“It's been a while since I could get back to Alfredo's restaurant in New City, and I'm happy I did. The staff were very courteous and attentive. Our party of 6 each ordered a different meal and we all thoroughly enjoyed their selection. I highly recommend trying out Alfredos in New City.“

“My husband and I visited Novino for the first time yesterday, 2/10/2024 for an early dinner. It was a great find. We know it's been there for a while but never tried and we're very glad we did! Great service from Craig. Thank you very much! Great food, good size serving and reasonably priced, good ambiance and clean. Also so happy to finally found our favorite waitress/server from a previous restaurant who works there now (Maura). Highly recommended. Will definitely go back.“

“A wonderfully ambient cafe with a respectable-sized menu of various delectable offerings combined with friendly and efficient service, and central location, to make for an excellent choice for those looking for a fancy dairy restaurant.Vegetarian options: Good choice ?Dietary restrictions: Milchig, under the השגחה of the CRC.“

“Hands down the best pizza in the area. I have been coming here since I was in High School. My family and I eat here or order from here weekly. Not only is the food amazing but they are great members of our community. Both of my daughters have had "Pizza making" field trips and loved learning how pizza is made. The owners took their time to open early, work with the kids and provide them with an awesome experience that they look forward to yearly. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. Whether you want a quick slice or a full meal, you can't go wrong.“

“I had been to del arte before and always had a wonderful experience. When my mother passed away in december we reached out to have her repast there. They were WONDERFUL to work with. Everything went seamless and was perfect. The staff is wonderful! The owners are the kindest people ever & especially during such a difficult time were caring, understanding and just really great to work with. We were so happy we booked my sisters baby shower and again had the same experience. I can not recommend them enough.“

“The pizza is phenomenal and the service is pretty good. They're on time with their estimates and the prices are good too. The atmosphere feels more like a grab and go, I wouldn't stay in the restaurant too long because the kids can be pretty rowdy.Vegetarian options: It's a pizza place with good pizza.“

“Place was great with the thin crust pizza that we had. One was with pepperoni, one was plain, and one was with sausage and onions. Caesar salad was good too. Also very accommodating for kids. Unpopular opinion but It’s not my favorite thin crust pizza I’ve had in Jersey but still very good and comparable to Nellie’s. I’d go back.“

“Delicious...delicious...delicious. I really enjoy the food here. Everything is freshly made and tastes great, A cool spot to enjoy a meal and the service is top notch! One side is a pizzeria with seating. The other side is a bar with a section with tables at the back of the restaurant. I have been here many times and it never disappoints.“

“Good fresh authentic cuisine! Well prepared and not overly rich salty seasoned etc. You can eat here multiple times a week and feel like you are not over doing it but yet have delicious meals. My new go to restaurant whether it's lunch with colleagues or takeout dinner for the fam!“

“It was our first time at La Vera Cucina, and it won't be our last. The restaurant is so quaint and beautifully decorated and upscale. In fact, we felt we were under dressed. And even though it was Christmas Eve, and we didn't have a reservation, they accommodated my husband and I. The waitstaff and service were amazing. At every turn, they'd ask if everything was fine or if we needed anything. I had the chicken parm. The serving was generous. Of course, I needed a carry out container. Since we were staying in a hotel, we needed flatware. The restaurant didn't have plastic utensils. The person who I assumed was the owner, asked the waitstaff to give us real flatware and said, "Bring it back the next time you visit." Talk about going the extra mile. I highly recommend La Vera Cucina restaurant.“

“Late ⏰ review but overall the pizza ? was amazing visited here about a month ago. Restaurant was closed but there is a food truck they have outdoors that sells the best chicken and slices. So we had to eat in the car. The atmosphere was great and a nice vibe in the area will surely keep you comfy with scenery to enjoy your food. Thank you ☺️“

“The new owners are basically doing their best to try to create a little music venue on the weekends. Jungle Love was on tonight and the place was hopping. We've eaten here a couple of times in the food's been good. I was a little disappointed in the chicken scarp as the potatoes were cold in the middle was kind of strange. Otherwise everything there is excellent“

“I love Beni's! Their sauce is very similar to my mother's. I love to take my grandchildren to eat there. Their pizzettas are delicious! It's just a great place to go have a nice Italian meal with a glass of wine in a very comfortable atmosphere. I'm sure you'll enjoy what they have to offer.“

“My friend and I had heard of this diner's unique offerings and we decided to pay a visit to try them. Everything we had was fantastic and perfectly prepared. She really enjoyed her caramel latte, as did I with my black coffee. Both variants of the French toast were amazing, and the additional toppings really added something interesting to the mix without being overpowering. We opted to get the maple syrup which is an extra $3 each, but it's well worth it. My friend loved her eggs and home fries as well, and only brought some home because she was too full to finish it all. My short rib and egg tacos were phenomenal and we're the perfect blend of breakfast and lunch influences. I absolutely loved it.Customer service here was amazing. The diner was very clean and the staff was accommodating and quick. We never had to look for a staff member when we needed something. I would definitely recommend anyone check them out. It's definitely worth the trip (we came all the way from southern Westchester) and we'll be back for more soon!“

“For the past year I have been coming here. The food has so much flavor and the portions are huge. They have an extensive menu with lots of choices. From apatizers, pizza and main dishes you can’t go wrong. Great selection and fantastic food! Thanks for being a great place.“

“Haven’t been here in a LONG time since they switched owners. Finally stopped by to pick up dinner and it is wayyyy better than it used to be, even with the old owners. The salad was so fresh nothing came soggy. The bread was nice and soft. I was so impressed, excited to be a regular again!!!“

“Good food, Great Service! The bartender is always very talkative, the ambiance is great as well. Always a nice group of of people. I highly recommend. The only thing is if want to sit at the bar go early and don't move- the bar fills up fast, but the dining room is a great alternative.“

“The food here is delicious and relatively well priced! Great atmosphere and the service is second to none. Great selection of dishes and appetizers, yummy drinks, satisfying desserts. The only complaint is that the lasagna wasn't as flavorful as I anticipated. However, my husband's steak was amazing, fried calamari and the garlic knots were to die for! Will definitely come back again.“

“I have to say I try to stop in whenever I am in the area, this is a great place to relax and unwind from a long day. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. It's the next best thing to sitting down at home for dinner and drinks with family and friends. Austen and her staff are very friendly and care about the service they provide. Often they will even stop over at your seat to make sure everything great. The food is always made fresh to order. I highly recommend trying the Italian chop salad, it is truly an amazing creation. Follow that up with a homemade soup of the day and personal favorite, the penne alla vodka with chicken.“

“Sonny and Tony's was an awesome place to go out and eat with my family. The meals were all great and I felt I got a lot of good bang for my buck. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was great for my children. Although it's somewhat of a drive for me, I definitely plan on going back soon to try some of their other menu items. Thank you for the pleasant experience and friendly service!“

“Here is the easiest way to describe this place. STRAIGHT UP HOMEMADE ITALIAN FOOD! This is 5-STAR Italian deliciousness! I was last here about 20 years ago but to be honest, like most, I have zero reason to ever be in Verplanck. This evening I was down there and made the immediate decision to dine-in the second I saw their big sign on Broadway. The place looks basically the same as I remember, very neat, clean and of course with a stellar menu. I observed Carmine (at the bar) preparing some amazing looking cocktails! Great service, well priced, friendly staff and great dishes! One thing I want to point out is how the first forkful of my cold antipasto salad appetizer immediately tasted soooo different. I wasn't expecting fresh, 'sharp' provolone -- no sliced ham here kids. Tonight was an unexpected treat! I will again grab my passport and cross the border into Westchester to spend more time here! Mangia!“

“I have a medically problematic love of pizza. When I move to a new place, I try all the pizzas, highly rated or lowly rated, try all the take-out and dine-in pizza. Thus far, Napoli's is best pizza in Rockland County. Easily holds it's own in NYC or New Haven, even“

“Good food. Hardly speak English when calling to place an order. Plus how do you have Mexican people running an Italian restaurant??? That just doesn't make any type of sense! I have to keep repeating my order several times before it sunk in. I'd recommend just going there to eat. But overall the pricing is good and the food is great even though it's Spanish people taking over the art of great Italian cooking. It's still a decent place. Better than Mariella's Pizza.“

“What a great place. Went with a large group and had great service. Food was outstanding. From apps to dinner everything was really good. Sad part no room for dessert. Oh wait, Took canolas for desert to go. And they were very good. Will be back for sure.“

“When my friends come in from out of town this restaurant is our go to. It's a friendly family owned restaurant. We go often enough that they know what we would like to order before we even say it. Food is delicious. Pizza is outstanding with a crispy crust and just the right amount of sauce and cheese. Their Lasagna is the best! If it is one of their specials, don't pass it up. My friends rave about the fish. Also great for takeout.“

“I have known Austin, the owner, since he was one-week old. He has taken his father's know-how and his own experience to a new level of home cooked Italian fare into a busy corner of Ramsey. Pizzas are amazing, thin, Neapolitan, amazingly fresh ingredients. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is friendly and attentive. You can bring your own from next door for an even better dining experience. I highly recommend the mussels.“

“It's a local Italian restaurant. The staff will remember you. Very friendly & accommodating. Food is always fresh & flavorful. My go-to whenever I miss shrimp Parmigiano or a really good calamari friti. Oh, don't forget to try the garlic bread too! Set aside the outdated decor, this restaurant will treat you like family.“

“Fabulous! That's all I can say. We were looking for a spot to grab a quick bite before heading to the Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze and happened to pass this deli. My son lives in PA now and LOVES delis, so we went in and were totally wowed by all the options and the friendly people! I don't know how I've not been to this gem before, but I have it on my list of MUST HAVES now!Our sandwiches were amazing, and I don't say that lightly! They also have a lot of baked goods, so I had to try a few of their cookies, and they were delish! Seriously going back for more soon!“

“We love this place! Super authentic Mexican cuisine where you always feel welcome! The people here are so friendly and helpful. Margaritas are so good!! I got the spicy and my husband got the classic.Food was fantastic! We loved the enchiladas mole poblano, the cheese enchilada, bean burrito, and chicken flautas! Not to mention the starter mini cheese quesadilla, and dessert banana chimichanga. Everything was super fresh and absolutely delicious.We will definitely be back!! Muchas Gracias!!Dietary restrictions: Super accommodating“

“Cute little hang out with amazing pizza! Friends and I regularly go here with the kids for lunch.Vegetarian options: Plain pizza, pizza margarita and eggplant roll or pizza for example.Parking: Small parking lotKid-friendliness: We take over a corner of the seating area and are left alone. Unless of course we go to the counter to order something and they bring it. It’s perfect.“
