21 Best Italian Restaurants near Queensbury

“(July 6, 2025)
We came here for dinner after considering a lot of other options, we were pleasantly satisfied with the food quality and quantity and the overall service.
The minestrone soup and bottomless salad (unlimited refills) were good.
The pastas we ordered were decent and came in very large portions, we ended up packing some of it for the next day of our trip.

Sisi was a very friendly waitress.“

“I see this place an apology for NOT finding out sooner what I found out today! Excellent pizza and big beautiful perfect wings. My wife grew up in GF on Ridge St. and remembers Oma's and told me the story leading up to Mia...its weird we never connected with Mia! Today she and her Mom orders pizza and wings. Of course they ate like 1 slice and 2 wings so she called me and said got Mia's for you, you can't believe the crust and the wings are giant! She was not kidding. WOW - and I had just seen a reel on social of some dude going Portnoy at Mia and gave it a paltry 6.8...bollocks, I give them a still warm (wife said dont reheat the pizza for the original taste) - I give it a 9.9 combo wings and cheese pizza!!! Please prepare to hear from me more Mia. Doug Haight.“

“Best place in town and will go above and beyond for customers!“

“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.“

“It was good… they said table was 15 minutes wait but it was more like 5…then they said food would be an hour wait … then it got cut down to like 45 but it took about like 25 … the waiter with a beard Paul? He was there for like 25 years? Anyways he was awesome! The clam chowder was pretty awesome… the Rachel Ray pizza was good but it was spiiiiicy!! Service was great … food was good. They seemed realllly understaffed ! 7/10 overall!“

“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!“

“I can’t believe I waited so long to eat here …..it truly was amazing. The food was delicious, staff is very friendly and the atmosphere 👍. 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹“

“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“

“This place is the real deal. The grilled bread with the bruschetta and caprese salad has a great flair. The tomatos have some of the best flavor profile I've had. Definitely in the top two of all time. I had the cuppa de pesce for a main course. What a dish full of seafood. Again well cooked and the pasta was perfectly al-dente. They had a creme brulee cheesecake which turns out was a huge suprise. Just as it sounds, really good cheesecake with creme rules flavor and topping. Cant wait to go back again.“

“​I discovered the Gourmet Cafe on a quiet evening as the hostess was placing the menu board outside. The dining room was simple and unpretentious, giving off a pleasant, personal feel. The experience started with a warm welcome from the server, Mandy, who personally recommended a Pinot Grigio for my meal—a fantastic touch for someone exploring wine pairings.

​Mandy was equally impressive: wonderfully attentive, composed, and friendly.
​I ordered a half portion of the Penne alla vodka with chicken, which was generous enough to be a full meal. It arrived with perfectly toasted garlic bread and had a lovely aroma. The dish delivered on every level: the pasta had a great bite, the sauce was tangy (thanks to the sun-dried tomatoes) and creamy, and the chicken was incredibly tender. The owner's wine recommendation was spot on, as the Pinot Grigio enhanced the creaminess of the sauce beautifully.

​It was the kind of meal that makes you lean back in your seat to savor every bite. While a few stray flies were near my table by the door, it was a minor note in a delicious and pleasant experience. Learning it's a 'mom-and-pop' operation made perfect sense given the personal service and neighborhood feel. It’s a true gem.“

“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!“

“We have never had a bad meal at Massie’s, everything is ALWAYS delicious. The specials are always changing and look drool worthy! 5 ⭐️s across the board. We went out for our daughter’s 9th birthday dinner here (her pick!) & everything was delicious. Kids meals came out first and fast as we wanted. Our waitress was so attentive and checked in often even though she was busy! Great service, great food!“

“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 ♥️“

“Thank you for the delicious fresh pasta and meatballs, and the whole loaf of Italian bread you threw in for free! Excellent everything!“

“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.“

“Great food! my favorites are the chicken parm, lasanga, pizza, and the meatballs are out of this world!“

“I lost hope in finding a place with actual GOOD penne alla vodka until we tried Stumpys last week. I thought I could only get quality penne alla vodka when we visit family in Long Island but Stumpys impressed me so much, it’s probably the best I’ve ever had!! Pizza was also great! 😍 We finally found our new go to pizza place!“

“Really really great bruschetta, everything tasted fresh. Vodka sauce was so good, we ordered the penne 2 days in a row on vacation. They also sell Lion Farm Cookies at the checkout and those s’mores cookies were out of this world! The staff were all very friendly also. Will definitely be a regular stop on our yearly trip to town.“

“Hidden Gem Just Outside the Village – A Must-Visit! We thought we were just stopping in for a quick slice… and ended up with a full, unforgettable Italian meal! Just minutes from the hustle of downtown Lake George, Number 1 Pizza feels like stepping into someone’s home—if that someone happens to be an incredible Italian cook. The specials drew us in, and we’re so glad they did. Everything is homemade—from the rich, savory sauce to the perfectly seasoned meatballs. The lasagna was layered with love, and the manicotti, made with delicate crepes, was hands-down the best we’ve ever had. You can taste the care and tradition in every bite. The owners are genuinely welcoming, the atmosphere is cozy and unpretentious, and the food is the real star. This place isn’t just about pizza (though we hear that’s great too)—it’s a full-on Italian comfort food experience you won’t want to miss. If you’re in Lake George, make the short drive. We will be back!“

“Thanks to Tommy's guns for making the REEDS Family Reunion so great by your service of catering our event August 16th 2025 the food that was ordered with your recommendations was so enjoy by all and your service of setting it up was with perfection. THANK YOU AND YOUR STAFF. We are looking for the next reunion and more of your great food.“
