50 Best Italian Restaurants near Port Chester

“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...“

“Excellent food and great people! Frank and his staff make you feel like family!“

“I recently dined at T and Js and the food and atmosphere met all of our expectations. We ordered the baked clams, veal capriciosa, gnocchi alla vodka with chicken cutlet and linguine pescatore. There were so many daily specials that it was a little hard to choose, but our waiter Joey highly recommended these dishes. They were amazing! The portions were huge and the food was fresh and flavorful. We will definitely be back. Thank you Joey for the great service and recommendations!“

“Fantastic food minus a menu, you feel like you’re at your grandparents house for those of you who are fortunate enough to be Italian“

“Michelle was our server. Very friendly and efficient.
Food was outstanding.
We started with special mixed seafood in 2 large clam shells.
Dining partner had softshell crab (2) over linguini and he said it was the best softshell crab prep he ever had.
I had Chilean Sea Bass in a lobster bisque sauce with sweet potato crust over spinach.
Finished the meal with tartufo. Rich dark chocolate shell.
The chef has a flare for bringing out flavors with his combinations.“

“By far the best new restaurant in Mamaroneck in years! great food and service.“

“Great food!! Nice staff!! Nice place“

“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.“

“This wonderful dinner was incredible!!!! absolutely 💯 delicious and way above other Italian restaurants in the area. They make food with love!!! Everything from beginning ✨️ to end was perfect 🥰 Thank you so very much for the hard work that you put into this! The food is fresh, hot and delicious! Loved the full glasses 🥂 of wine 🍷 too!!!“

“Outstanding food at this cozy, rustic restaurant in Mamaroneck! Wide choices in every category. Everything is impeccably fresh, and beautifully presented by chef-owner Andrea!“

“Love having Natalie back behind the bar! And Chef Ming is an artist. Seriously blew us away with his skills on the most basic dish - his classic cheese pizza. It’s almost what you would classify as classic Neopolitan, but with hardly any flop. He clearly chooses the best ingredients as well. Such an amazing surprise Can’t wait to go back with the family.“

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

“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 .“

“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.“

“loved service and food expectacular“

“Relatively new location but Ive been going to Modern, old and new for almost 30 years....To say the food is INCREDIBLE still wouldn't cover it. It's by far, one of the very best Italian restaurants in the entire County, if not further. It NEVER fails to serve you the freshest, most delicious meals. I'm a huge fan of their Chicken and Veal Marsala and Francese...I decided to try their Shrimp Francese for a change of pace. Sure, Ive had many meals at many Italian restaurants in the "world famous Little Italy" sections of NY City...I have to honestly say, this was the absolute BEST dish Ive ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Coupled with the Linguine with REAL White Clam Sauce, which in itself was phenomenal, as well as a salad with Gorgonzola cheese that was spectacular. I had the pleasure of returning again just a few short weeks later, and politely told the waitress (who's service was fabulous) thay I didnt even need a menu....
Modern has been around for a LONG TIME. Originally, you felt like you were sitting in the basement of a friend's home, and the food was just beyond incredible. Now, in the newer location the only thing thats changed is the size. The food has gotten even better (tough to believe since it already was EXCELLENT). The great service, the way they make you feel like family, and the food continues to be incredible....Wherever you are, if you're planning on being near New Rochelle....Modern is DEFINITELY a place you cant pass by, so ENJOY !!!!!!
You'll be planning your next visit before you even finish your meal ? 5 out of 5 Stars EVERY TIME !!! ?? !!!!“

“Exceptional dining experience! The atmosphere was perfect, and the staff were warm and attentive while providing timely service. The food did not disappoint. Our table ordered appetizers, lobster ravioli, arugula salad with shrimp and veal scallopini. We look forward to our next opportunity to visit!“

“We arrived poorly dressed on a frigid evening without a reservation and were heartily welcomed at the small bar. They were such lovely and hospitable people. The food was amazing, the atmosphere cosy and welcoming, and the bill reasonable.“

“Best Ravioli ever! Especially when just made vs frozen. Creamy insides drive my kids crazy, so we have to get them midweek for dinner.“

“I have been here several times - always with great food. However, my Guinea Hen Papadelle lacked substance. Seemed like ground turkey. I thought it would be pieces of hen. Also, the papardelle stuck together in mats and had to be cut. We were told at our seating to order faster since they needed the table after us.☹️“

“We just got our first pizza from Dino’s. The Kraken was absolutely amazing. From the flavorful toppings to the amazing crust! Well done! Our first of many more to come.“

“Old fashioned Italian cuisine.“

Really Beautiful Restaurant, with great staff! The owners love what they do and it shows! My favorite entre is the homemade squid pasta with seafood( get it in the garlic white sauce) Really great! They also have very good steaks for the carnivores out there for one or two people(no need to go into the city to a steakhouse when this restaurant is in the heart of Hartsdale NY, across from metro north! Benny makes the best drinks! They also have a "Really Good Happy Hour"! Whatever you choose you will not be disappointed!“

“Great atmosphere, organized party, excellent service and staff, amazing food, very relaxed party planning that led to a stress-free gathering of 80 people. Spacious, modern party room with nice furniture, lighting, and air conditioning. Highly recommend throwing a party here! Thank you Tesoro’s, you were awesome!“

“I Highly Recommend Amore's Staff & Cuisine ☆☆☆☆☆ !!!“

“Bar Rosina is where culinary ambition meets existential dread. Awarded “Restaurant of the Year,” it serves dishes that look like art and cocktails that taste like confusion (with a hint of rosemary). The ambiance is chic, the service efficient but joyless. Great for impressing your date, less so for your wallet or soul.“

“I don't remember the server's name but he is Albanian. He was a big-looking guy, very friendly and outgoing. He made us feel right at home. He did a surprise birthday dessert for my 50th. It was me, my mother, and two sisters. Thank you for your service.“

“Best restaurant in Westchester!“

“Great place!! Food was delicious and the service was top notch!! Highly recommend it!!“

“We love this place! We started going to Antoninos years ago so we were hesitant to try it just being a creature of habit. And just like Antoninos,Alessias DID NOT disappoint! Our server Marco and Host Melissa are always top notch, so welcoming and friendly! The food is beyond amazing 🤩“

“And the waiters were hot and very friendly.“

“As soon as you walk in the aroma is straight Italiano had me feeling like Julius Cesar ready to devour everything in sight because the smell was so amazing. Literally anything you want or are curious to try on the menu is gonna taste delicious will definitely be back asap!“

“Hosted a small family reunion here during weekend lunch. Very food. Attentive, amazing, kind service. Looks like nothing on the outside but inside is lovely.

Parking: Behind the restaurant they're are about 14 spots in a lot.

Kid-friendliness: They were great with a baby and two toddlers. High chairs were available. They brought food early for the kids and had some kid friendly items and sizes.“

“Great staff and great food even during this pandemic. And accommodating“

“I just attended a large group party here. The attention and service by all the waiters was fantastic. The food was very good and generous portions. Next time I will make a better choice of entree because I know it's difficult to make all kinds of food ready at the same time. I will be happy to come back for another meal.“

“Amazing food and staff! Always completely satisfied. I would highly recommend Vivilo.“

“Amazing dinner !! Kevin and Team were AMAZING & We’ll definitely be back . Thank you for making my son and I feel welcome for the first time In New York , we felt like Family .“

“Ho mangiato bene! Che bella musica direttament Di Modena Claudio Mattioli e Massimiliano Barbolimi. BRAVO 👏🏻 BRAVO 👏🏻“

“Hands down, one of the finest restaurants on the North Shore. Be sure to make a reservation, as it's intimate. Top notch Chef with a staff to match.“
