50 Best Italian Restaurants near Selden

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Café Amici in Selden is a gem! From the warm greeting at the door to the attentive staff and fresh bread service, everything feels welcoming. The appetizers were delicious, but the highlight was the Trojan entrée — huge portions, amazing flavor, and beautifully presented. If you still have room, the desserts are worth it too. Prices are great for the quality, and meeting Joe, the owner, made the experience even more special. Highly recommend!“

“We had my Daughters HS Graduation celebration Here and from start to finish Ro and Darrin were amazing! Loved both the food & service and Ro helped me so much in planning this special Evening! We will be back for future celebrations for sure! Carole Vintis“

“I can not believe that this restaurant has been here on Main Street in Port Jefferson Village for over 20 years and I never ate there!!! This is my new Favorite place to eat. The food was exceptional and good size portions. The pita bread they put out on the table was so delicious I could have made that my meal. The service was extremely attentive and so personable. The Owner came around greeting everyone and made us feel like we were all family having dinner together. I am looking forward to my next visit.“

“Just visited Osteria Umbra yesterday evening for the 2nd time. This place has quickly become my favorite Italian restaurant on Long Island. The quality of the food is extraordinary, and the service/wait staff is second-to-none. Both times I visited, everyone in my group had a truly exceptional evening. From the moment you walk in the front door through the completion of dessert, this place provides first class service. The Black Truffle Taglierini in the Parmesan cheese wheel is a must try and delightful experience. The Australian Wagyu Tomahawk was absolutely delicious and well worth the order. The Italian Cheesecake is homemade, and is the best I have ever had. If you have the opportunity, make a visit and give this place a try. You won't regret it!“

“We have dined at Orto several times and it never disappoints. One of our favorite restaurants on all of Long Island. Food is always fantastic and the service and atmosphere are exceptional. Highly recommend trying this hidden gem.“

“Visited this restaurant after show at Bellport Playhouse. Very nice inside and the service was amazing. My husband enjoyed his Filet Mignon, he loved it! My meal on the other hand, chicken della casa was not good at all. The chicken was so bland I couldn't eat it. I should have sent back but didn't by that point I lost my appetite. I did order the dessert tiramisu which was really good. I would go back but next time I would try another dish.“

“Great food. Tiny place. Hard to get table and cramped of its full. But the food is awesome. Bolegenese was perfect. Lasagna off the charts. Fresh made gnocci... but flip a coin to get a table. We've tried 3 times in the past to get in, and it's always been too crowded. We finally made it in last week.And it was worth the wait“

“Delicious food from start to finish. Wonderful service (we had Gina but all others were great as well) and Friday night they had a singer and had the whole restaurant singing together. Comfy intimate spot that I will definitely return to.“

“This is my fiancé and mine official favorite restaurant of st.James and surrounding areas!

“Where do I even begin, Elaine’s might be the best experience we have had at a restaurant, period the end! We had Debbie as our host, who was very kind and attentive, she had top tier suggestions for any kind of food, cigars, and atmosphere we were searching for. We also met a wonderful couple at the bar who were super friendly and gave us some great tips for when we attend the US Open. Isaiah was an awesome waiter who brought us our food and drinks with perfect timing, kudos to the chef for an outstanding meal, the owners who we also got the opportunity to meet and have a familiar conversation with about our home MA, and the bartenders who made amazing drinks to top it all off! What a great environment they have created at Elaine’s, we will be back for another meal tomorrow night!“

“Absolutely excellent, pleasantly surprised“

“The interior had been updated since I was last on the Island, I always meet friends here. I prefer the more traditional atmosphere it previously had. The rib eye was tough this time, the potato salad superb, but overall very disappointed. The music was loud and was some radio station that a teenager
might listen to, not at all relaxing.“

“Happened upon this restaurant while visiting Port Jefferson. And glad we did. Got here early enough that we could get a table right away. Steve took great care of us without being overbearing. We started off with the stuffed mushrooms, which were so freaking good. For main course my husband got the Chicken & Sausage Scarpiello, and I had the Veal Scallopini - both were delicious. We finished off sharing the Rainbow Cookie Cheesecake. This exceeded my expectations. Everything was so good that my husband wants to go back tomorrow!“

“The food here is great and the people are amazing. My husband and I had our wedding catered by CP Lamannos and I can’t even begin to tell you about the compliments we received. Michelle and her staff are the best!!! Please don’t take my word for it come down to the restaurant and try it for yourself.“

“Friendly service and delicious food.“

“A few months ago my daughter passed away. I had family coming in from 4 different states. We needed a place we could all meet and have dinner. We called Nesconset Pizza&Pasta to see if we could use their back room. They said yes and set up the room for us on short notice. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. All my relatives from out of town were very pleased. The staff was kind and compassionate and did not rush us. I have had dinner many times before and after that night and they are always attentive and accommodating. This is a really great place to dine out!“

“They have been working with so many families in need. They are helping feed Long Island families while the SNAP program is still not being funded. In addition to a friendly eatery that truly cares about people their food is amazing. So many options to choose from! Stop by and say hello, grab some delicious food and help spread the love. Donate today or share their mission to feed Long Island families in need during this difficult time. No child should ever be hungry.“
