50 Best Italian Restaurants near Rye

“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!“

“Nice place food was delicious“

“High quality food. Everything I’ve eaten is so good. Friendly staff and environment. I highly recommend anyone to stop by and grab a bite!“

“Best steak I have had in a long time, service was impeccable. Will be back“

“I've been seeing the really good food posted on Social Media and finally made the 5 minute trek. I have to say the calzones and pizza were excellent! The calzones are enormous. Where looking forward to trying something different next time, and next time will be soon! ��“

“Pizza is always delicious“

“Excelente Deli La Recomiendo a mil maneras Amabilidad a lo máximo“

“The food was very good. Everything was fresh and had great flavor. Wide selection of options so good for families. The service was not good. It took forever to get menus (we had to ask eventually) and it was almost half hour before we got our drinks and placed our order. Even more odd, we never knew who our waiter was. Normally they introduce themselves but I felt like we ordered from two or three different people. The value and quality was great. The amount of food we got for the price was enough to feed more than our table of 5. This is good value spot for big families to get an affordable and quality dinner Overall, not a terrible experience and would try again. If the service had been on par, this would've been a 5 easily.“

“Great atmosphere. The food is fresh and tastes delicious! The staff is attentive and friendly.“

“We visited the Greenwich location for the first time and we’re definitely going back!! Good was amazing! Service was excellent.. I would definitely recommend it!“

“Go for the reviews - leave shaking your head saying “those reviews were on-point”. The only annoying part, and not worth deducting even 1/4 of a star, is the pushy “ we need your entire order right away because everything is made to order” jargon. They do it to speed you along as you can’t get your apps until you order your main meal. But even with that and not having a reserved table ready on time - this place is 100% worthy of ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!“

“Wonderful food. Wonderful service!“

“We had a wonderful meal there - all four entrees were excellent, the service was perfect, and the price is very reasonable. I wasn't expecting such a tasty meal!“

“I would’ve gave them more stories, but this is the max they allow the service. Here was amazing. The waiters amazing the host amazing person and the food completely delicious. I recommend anybody who’s in town driving around or even wants to make a trip to this place. You won’t regret“

“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. “

“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.“

“By far one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to! Excellent service- food made to order. Chicken Scarpiello was so flavorful with a lot of garlic, herbs and a touch of lemon. Penne Ala Vodka one of the best I have ever tasted! Chicken Verde was so tender it melted in your mouth!!“

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

“loved service and food expectacular“

“Incredible. The warmly furnished dining room of Osteria Sardenga was immediately welcoming, and the service only enhanced that feeling, never rushing or interrupting the dinner. But more than the service or atmosphere, the food was the true star, and the meal I had tonight was one of the best I have had in months.
For appetizers I tried the meatballs(juicy and flavorful with a pecorino accented tomato sauce), the Sardinian flatbread(crisp and cracker like covered with cheese and peppery herbs), and the Artichokes which were the best thing I ate that night. Tender and sweet poached insides, contrasted with a crisp and nutty fried outside, and drenched in a lemony sauce; If you order nothing else, order the artichokes.
For my main I had a pasta dish called Malloreddus, which I later learned refered to the small shell like pasta shape and not the rich beef ragu that coated it. And the pasta was the star of the dish, each pleasantly chewy shell scooping up generous amounts of meaty ragu.
As for desserts, I was able to try the chocolate cake(decadent), the tartufo(baseball sized with a generous snappy chocolate shell that melted in the mouth), the pistachio cheesecake(a unique and delicious version that had three layers, one of cake, one that was creamy and white, and a pistachio layer with little crumbles of pistachio in it), and the tiramisu which was maybe the best rendition of tiramisu I had ever tasted. And I'm sure, as the owner said when he slipped the dessert menu in front of us, that there were no bad desserts on the menu. In fact, at this point I would be surprised if a single dish on the menu, or on the extensive specials menu, wasn't good. I will definitely be coming back.

Some small critiques at the end, although my mom won't stop talking about how good the meatballs were, having only two felt a little sad. And my pasta dish was a touch too salty. I wouldn't want this to scare anyone away from ordering either dish though, as both were still excellent.
Also there's a small parking lot in the back.“

“Every menu item we purchased is delicious. The finest ingredients!“

“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!“

“The food was excellent , wait staff was excelkent“

“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...“

“Delicious food and great service!“

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

“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 🤩“

“This location i have come to a few times. It has progressively become better and better.
The rooms are beautiful, comfortable and quite, while there is a great social bar, with very nice accomodationimg staff and the downtown has become much better than it use to be that this hotel is right within.

Only downside I've experienced is the up charge fee for late checkout. Normally around the world a late checkout there is not a secondary charge of you request up till 1-2pm. Unfortunately this hotel is going with the US trend of charging consumers for needing a later checkout even if you checking at 11pm bc of late travel etc.. Only down on have to say, but hotel it top notch“

“This restaurant is fabulous! Well worth stopping in. Every meal i have had there has been superb. Service is impeccable. I has a definite feel of a very hospitable local family restaurant like those we have enjoyed many times in Italy.“

“Very family oriented and wonderful owners thank you“

“Great food and service. Highly recommend.“

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

“We chose Risotto to celebrate our anniversary, confident the food and service would be top-notch—and it didn’t disappoint! The surprise highlight? 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.“

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!“

“Benny was flaunting his massive balls on my plate of egg plant parm. Definently would c** back if given the oppurtunity.“

“I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious, especially the ricotta appetizer, the messe maniche carbonara, and the fusilli al ferretto both amazing. The tiramisu was a standout dessert, perfect to end the meal. The non-alcoholic drinks were amazing, the atmosphere was super relaxing, and the service was top notch. Highly recommended!“

“Love it here! On the weekends it is always buzzing, great vibes & perfect night out atmosphere. Food is consistently delicious, pasta, salads, apps all so good! Some favorites are the arugula salad, charred peppers, focaccia & literally all of the pastas. The Chiquita & La Passione drinks are like nothing I’ve had anywhere else - so delicious & innovative. For dessert get a Nutella donut - divine. One of my fave places!“

“Wonderful experience, beginning to end, with the star of the show being the excellent and tasty food. We each had something different, didn’t wait long for the meal, and it was excellent all round. I had the Chicken Fontanella and the mashed potatoes and it was exquisite. Thanks for the wonderful lunch.“

“Classic Italian prepared fresh daily.“

“I loved the ambience. Music was great too. I ordered Clams Casino and was very disappointed. Tasted dirty and had no toppings; no bread crumbs and no bacon. You can tell they did not put much effort into the clams. Husband ordered Shrimp cocktail, though they were not bad, we’ve had much better. They were unappetizing. After we finished our appetizers, we so as I’m writing this review and asked our waiter twice for our food, they keep saying they are very busy; not cool. Not inclined to come back and wait 30 minutes after appetizers for my dinner. Still waiting…Valentine’s Day has been ruined for us.
I have to edit this review because of the excellent response the manager or maître d’ Kensey had when he found out our disappointment. He immediately came to our table and asked us what we were disappointed with and how he can fix it. He offered another dinner and it was cooked immediately. He came back with a Filet Mignon with mushrooms, potatoes and vegetables. They also comped our Lamb Chops dinner and our drinks. Thank you for your excellent customer care! We will visit again on a day they’re not so overwhelmed with business. BTW loved the free Valet Parking!“

“the food is so amazing. this place never disappoints.“

“The terrific food was complimented by the friendly and informative staff. From the greeting by the host to the farewell by the servers it was a 5 star experience and I'm sure when I'm back in Stamford I will be dining here again. Great job.“

“Came here for a birthday soirée that was in a private room, the room was lovely and cozy and perfect for the event, the appetizers were great, the food was great the service was less then desirable. The cocktail menu was great and the drinks I actually got were divine but the wait for them and the mood of the server was less then desirable especially for a birthday party, she treated us as if we were a hindrance and we were bothering her by asking her for drinks. Usually, when booking a private party, you get the best of the best as your server if this was their best, it definitely was not good enough.“

“And the waiters were hot and very friendly.“

“staff is very friendly and accommodating and the additional food we had in addition to the delicious pizza was excellent and plentiful“

“We just hosted a Celebration of Life- And Walter was wonderful to work with. The food was very good and service top notch!!!!!“
