17 Best Italian Restaurants near Queensbury

“My overall experience at this location was good. Our server was polite and checked on us accordingly. The place was clean along with the bathrooms. I found the food to be mediocre compared to some other locations I have visited. The worst thing was the broccoli... they must have burned the bottom layer because all I could taste was burnt food.“

“Mia has become our new favorite take out pizza spot. I admit to having driven by a hundred times before trying it at a friend's house and falling in love.

We have never dined in, but there are tables available if you choose to do so. The place is like a wonderful, nostalgic throwback to pizza places of my childhood in the '80s in the best way possible. Employees are always friendly when calling in with your order and at pick up.

And the food!! This may be some of the best pizza I have ever had outside of NYC. At other places, I often order toppings because, well, the pizza itself is okay, but not always good enough to stand on its own. Not here, though! I often dream about their cheese pizza. Perfect cheese to sauce ratio for me. (I am not a fan of heavy sauce. Let me taste the cheese!) And the garlic knots - I could have eaten this order by myself. Not dry and hard like some places and not completely drenched in butter either. Again, just right. Their sauce - which comes with the knots - was so good I saved the rest to have with pasta the next day. It's just the right amount of sweet that I love.

I highly, highly recommend stopping by. They are old school and don't have a website with a menu that I could find. But they have a range of options from subs to pizza to dinners.“

“We come up to the Lake George area once a year. We found Papa’s diner on google and now it’s a staple in our trip. We have nothing but good things to say about this place. The decor, the people, the service, and the food is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend!!“

“Hands-down, the best cheese pizza in the Glens Falls/QBY area. Always hot and fresh when it arrived. I just ordered an $11 foot long sub and I was so stoked about how good it was that it prompted me to write this review. Not sure if they make their own sub bread, but if they don't, they should take credit for it anyway because it was great. Reliable place when you want quality, and it's the pizza we always order when we have visitors from out of town.“

“Excellent food for reasonable prices, atmosphere is cozy with exception to the carpet could definitely be replaced.“

“Came here quick for slices on the go. Not too many options but opted for pepperoni & plain slices. The area is big with plenty of chairs for sitting. Large kitchen area. Quick service to heat up slices. Our slices were crunchy & not super greasy with stringy cheese!“

“Food, atmosphere & service were all incredible - highly recommend! I had one of the appetizer specials, the duck entree & crème brûlée dessert 🤤“

“Great food...very resonable..big portions..tried other ltalian places..we always wind up here..owner is a sweatheart..always greets us..would have to go to Canales in Schenectady to get the same portions and quality“

“First time in as locals, beautiful restaurant and very friendly staff. We had a quick cocktail while we waited for takeout, the bartender was great and very personable. The host who took our order was as well; salads were nice and fresh, house made bread, and very nice sized tasty entrees. We will definitely be back to dine in!“

“New restaurant in the area. Delicious food. The atmosphere itself is more like a diner than an Italian bistro cafe, nonetheless the food was delicious.

Started off with glass of wine.

For appetizer we started with the eggplant napoleon. I would very much recommend. Great flavor. Very good red sauce.

They provided grilled bread with olive oil and balsamic. There was definitely a hint of truffle. Wife loved the bread.

For entree my wife had the Chicken Scarp. Delicious as well. Very rich brown sauce.
I had the Carbonara Americano. The cream sauce was very good.

For dessert we had espressos with a slice of their chocolate layer cake, yum!

I would definitely recommend.“

“Went for the first time last night. The view is wonderful, food was excellent and service great! A hidden gem in our area!“

“While visiting my beautiful niece we had lunch at Gourmet Cafe. Top spot located in downtown Glens Falls. Very nice atmosphere, great menu and the friendliest wait-staff. I had the super BLT and the carrot cake for desert. We'll be back“

“Ordered the chicken parm family deal tonight for dinner and was BLOWN AWAY with how much food I received for the price! Will absolutely be ordering again! Staff were so friendly!!!“

“Best restaurant ever. Been going there for more years than I can count on both hands. Food is consistently excellent and Jackie and Brian are amazing along with the entire staff. We love everything about Brunettos ♥️“

“I have a great meal every time ! Place is clean , staff is great , prices are fair ! Love this place“

“I have only dined at Rocco’s but one time, we didn’t have a reservation and they were able to seat the three of us which was very accommodating. It was a busy busy time since there was a game at the Civic Center across the street and every place was packed. The food was outstanding and I would recommend Rocco’s.“

“Best restaurant in Lake George. Food is amazing!! Fresh ingredients.10 out of 10! You not only get a phenomenal meal at Mario's, but you get an experience...very romantic atmosphere. We love it here and will be coming back for years to come. Very special place.“
