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...“

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!“

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.“

“I'm a true foodie who cooks at home so when I go out for dinner I select the restaurants carefully Based upon quality of food. This is my first review of a restaurant because it deserves my opinion. Last night at Sienas ( not my first time there) but the service and experience is worthy of commenting. Last night my husband and I dined and had the most delicious dinner. I ordered the special ( home made pasta with broccoli rabe and crumbled sausage. My husband had the tagliatelle with truffle with mushrooms in a cream sauce. The food was just top notch. The pasta was so fresh and would compare to any Top notch nyc Italian restaurant in my opinion. The pear walnut salad was also delicious and freshly prepared with high quality. The owners sent us lemoncello and fresh mango sorbet and of course they always give their guests homemade thinly sliced Biscotti's on the house. That was an unexpected and generous for a restaurant to provide on the house. This is what more restaurants should do from time to time to have repeat customers. We appreciated the hospitality. I must also comment that I love espresso martinis and find it rare to have one that you would remember. That was the best one I have had in a very long time. Delicious.. I look forward to dining back again and again.. Enjoy this fine little gem Siennas“

“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.“

“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.“

“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. “

The manager takes good care of this crew and it shows in the service. We will definitely go back soon!“

“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 .“

A beautifully presented complimentary dessert from the owner that made the evening truly memorable. If only we lived closer—we’d be regulars! Until then, it’s a must-stop every time we’re in town.“

“I chose this restaurant for all its great reviews, for a birthday dinner and very glad I did. The ambience is off the charts. Our server Fatmir and all other staff were super great. We had the Spedini alla Romano, Eggplant Parmesan, Blackened Branzino and Shrimp w/ Chipotle Aioli and creamy Burnt Cheesecake. All were fantastic and we will be sure to return. 5 stars❗️“

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!“

“And the waiters were hot and very friendly.“

“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.“

“The best Mediterranean food in Westchester. Great for parties, date night, and catching up with old friends. Come in and have a meal. You won't regret it!“

“I was there as a wedding photographer and liked their service.“

“After God created the heavens and earth, separated the seas and skies, gathered the water and grew the vegetation he decided to rest on the seventh day. What the authors of the Bible failed to document was that on that day, an overwhelming hunger manifested in him, one that could not be satisfied with only his writings BUT needed to also tickle the taste buds. So, "The Great" Umbertos Of Glen Cove was created to take care of everyone's hunger here on earth and we are all that much better and happy for it. Thru time "The Great" Umbertos decided to create NY's BEST BRICK OVEN PIZZA (meat lover) and BUFFALO CALAMARI and the rest as they say is history. Umbertos manages the appetite of my wife and mine each and every Friday evening and most definitely do an extraordinary job (to say the least) and my wife and I couldn't be happier. The owners along with their Umbertos staff are"The Tops" as Mel Tormae would say. Umbertos is to culinary arts what Glen is to carpentry -"A TRUE VISIONARY!"- So in conclusion, don't walk BUT run to Umbertos because you don't want them, you NEED them for all your belly filling needs. xoxoxoxoxoxo Jen & Dan Bailey“

“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!“

“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.“
