50 Best Italian Restaurants near Slingerlands

“My coworkers and got dinner from Dominick’s tonight and wow was it good!!!! We had sausage and peppers, chicken Marsala and an anti pasta. Everything was fantastic. The sauce was perfect. We will definitely go back!!! Thanks from ACSO dispatch!!!!“

“Just this evening, I ordered take out from the wrong location. I called Stuyvesant plaza instead of Slingerlands. When I called Stuyvesant about the mistake the manager said, “ No problem”. What’s your address ? I will drive it out to you. Within a 1/2 hour this awesome guy Justin pulled into my driveway with all our food. Hot food and cold salad !! Thank you. Way to go!!“

“service was spot on and, appetizers were great. two out of 4 dinners were very good. My friend had clams and linguini, The clams still had sand in them so obviously not rinsed well. The person did end up getting sick unfortunately. The atmosphere is wonderful. Hopefully this was a one off and will have to try this place again.“

“We have been to Villa Di Como multiple times over the last year including recently for a birthday and the consistency and quality keep us coming back. Everything we’ve had has been delicious and the service has been great too. Can’t wait to be back.“

“Absolutely wonderful experience! I took 12 employees out to celebrate the holiday season and see a show in Albany. From the time we called for a reservation, right through dinner, the entire staff, and especially our server Casey were so welcoming and accommodating. The drinks, food, and service were all superb! Casey made us feel like we were the only thing that mattered in the restaurant, while the kitchen and bar handled some special requests with ease! In a world where the meaning of hospitality seems to have been forgotten by so many, this restaurant still knows what it means, and executes flawlessly. I highly recommend, and will definitely be back when in the Albany area. (I may even have to make a special trip back just for this restaurant!)“

“We stumbled on the place by chance and were not disappointed. The bartender, Jill was very friendly. Our meals were full of flavor. My husband got the chicken parm and I the barramundi. Finished by a tiramisu martini with a side of tiramisu. Sooooo good. We will definitely go back! Oh! The fresh bread and olive oil topped with tapenade was delish as well!“

“Pollo alla Rusa, perfection, bread and butter, perfection, vegetables, perfection, portion sizes ample. BYOB Chef seasoned my meal expertly! Atmosphere could use a bit of upgrading. Best real Italian meal I have had in Florida.“

“My VERY FAVORITE restaurant ❤️❤️❤️“

“Best coffee in Albany, flavor and comfort guaranteed!“

“BEST ITALIAN FOOD IN THE NORTEAST ,“

“The food, service & ambience were all superb!! 5⭐️“

“The staff is absolutely awesome. Make sure to get a reservation as the place fills up fast. The place is nice but by the time we were nearing the end of our dinner, the place was packed and conversation was near impossible. They need to install a noise-absorbing ceiling or something to help minimize that.“

“Fast, friendly service. Great food!“

“Consistently voted best Italian restaurant in the capital region. For good reason! Amazing quality, taste and portions, all at at a very reasonable price.
We enjoyed chicken frangelica and veal sorrento. The chicken was beautiful with a hazelnut flavor and sauce. The veal was also excellent, tender and served with pasta and red sauce.
We also had an appetizer, greens and beans, enough for 4 people and DELICIOUS! Desert was a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, so moist! With a wine the bill was under $100.00
Great server, very attentive. Could not be more pleased to spend our anniversary at D'Raymonds!“

“We had a really good experience at Ralph’s. It was a quaint little place that has obviously been in business for a long time. The staff was friendly. The place was clean and welcoming. Started off with medium buffalo wings and french fries with beef gravy. For dinner I had a half portion of penne with two meatballs and one hot sausage. My wife had the fish fry with french fries. The french fries were cooked exceptionally well crispy on the outside soft on the inside. The beef gravy was delicious and salty. Just like I expected definitely homemade. My half portion of pasta was definitely more than enough for one person the meatballs were tender, and the sausage was flavorful. I got it with the marinara sauce, which was a little spicy to my surprise, but it was still good. My wife enjoyed the fish fry said it was delicious in the cocktail sauce and tartar sauce was good. The wings in my opinion are one of the best in the area. Great flavor cooked exceptionally well crispy on the outside tender on the inside indefinitely fresh it’s a must try if you like chicken wings. We also ordered a sheet pizza to go with Italian sweet peppers and sausage turned out to be delicious. We heated it up the next day. It’s a must try for looking for a good place for dinner. That’s not very expensive but has good quality food. Recommend giving it a try.“

“lived in ny for almost 8 years and found this place by chance. its the best. I come here yearly now to celebrate my birthday. everyone is sweet, food is amazing. I will continue to drive from nc to celebrate here as long as they're open 💜🩵“

“Ricardo and his brother are amazing! I walk in and hear how are you Mr Frank everytime. Food is always perfect! I order appetizers, sandwiches, pizzas, dinners always delicious! My favorite is the Blackened Chicken Sandwich! Highly recommend you to try them!“

“Fast, friendly service. Great food!“

“What truly sets Romo's apart is their attention to detail and commitment to quality. Whether you're ordering a classic cheese pizza, specialty pies, garlic knots, wings, or one of their many homemade menu items, everything tastes fresh and carefully prepared. I've eaten at Romo's Pizza many times, and they consistently deliver some of the best pizza in the Capital Region. The crust has the perfect balance of crispness and chew, the sauce is flavorful without overpowering the toppings, and the quality of the ingredients really stands out. Their dough and sauce are made in-house, and it shows in every bite.“

“They have a nice happy hour. Good deals on food and drinks. It gets crowed and the happy hour only applies to bar seating. It should cover the high tops in the bar too, you have to stand around at the bar to get food and drinks, if there’s no bar seats available. Even know plenty of high tops are right there and empty.“

“So this was my first time here…we had a birthday celebration for my boss! About 13 people. Reservations were for 6:00pm. I came about 15 minutes late, and some people had drinks already. We waited for our waitress to return and it was almost 1/2hr. She took our second drink order, and seemed annoyed. The restaurant was very busy (which we were told by other servers) another 1/2hr pasted and finally she took our food orders. At this point, we were very hungry and disappointed-I guess our server had another big table.. So our salads were dropped off but another female server (who seemed very professional and much nicer than our original server) After that things seemed better. Food was good! I just thought about the customer service of the first waitress. She seemed like she didn’t want to be there. I work in customer service (which is very important especially for first impressions) would i recommend this restaurant yes, food was good. Service was not so great.“

“Our new place to go. We did the family meal takeout. It was delicious, everything was great. We even added meatballs and sausage, plus canoli's for dessert. The price was more than reasonable for the amount of food. Top notch all the way!!!“

“This place is very easy to get to. Lots of parking. Very comfortable atmosphere. The food is very good and priced fair. No long waits seating you quickly. Workers are friendly and knowledgeable. This is a 5 star all the way!! You won't be disappointed. See you soon.“

“Fabulous food and friendly people! Lots to look at while you eat or wait. Thanks everyone! ❤️🥰“

“Great place to stop when passing through Albany for some quick fresh Italian food take-out for the whole family. Seriously, forget the Thruway rest areas. If you have kids whose staple food is boiled noodles and butter, no matter the time nor the day, Bellini's will satisfy, and won't break the bank. Without a Noodles & co around for at least 100 miles, Bellini's has you covered, and is a must-stop for us. I can also recommend the meatballs and sausage.“

“My boyfriend and I went in today for lunch and service was above and beyond! We told our server Emily/Emma(?) that he had a mushroom allergy and she double-checked EVERYTHING for us! She went above and beyond! The manager even came over to our table to talk to us as well. Food was great as always, 10/10!“

“5 stars.Best in Albany. Been coming here since I was a kid,in the 90s.“

“Solid and reliable! Always good food and great portions- easily accommodated our large party and super attentive staff.“

“Thanks for the pickle pizza!! You made this pregnant lady very happy 🥰🥒🍕“

“We went to Milanos for the first time today, and we’re never going back. To say that the service was terrible would be an understatement. Ordered a large pizza and watched it sit there on the counter getting cold because the server was MIA. I was going to walk over there and pick it up myself, but I flagged down the other server who did it for me. Same thing when I asked for the check. I could see if the place was busy and they were understaffed, they weren’t. As far as the food goes, mediocre at best. The “large” pizza was actually small and we left there hungry. We should have eaten at the burger place a few doors down.“

“custimer service is excellant but most of all their pizza is the best of the of the best keep the good work up you all rock“

“amazing food! love the burger and fries. yummy!“

“I visit there about 4-5 times a month to grab a bite to eat, I usually get the lasagna dinner or their hot subs. Hands down the best in the area. The staff is always friendly and helpful. when in the area a must stop it won't disappoint!“

“I've been coming here for years, lunch breaks, dinners, just coming in for fun, I absolutely love this place and is one of my favorite pizza places in the area and could compete with NYC pizza as far as how amazing it is. 10/10 highly recommend“

“To begin with, I was surprised by the option of BYOB; we'll know for next time! Tammy was an exceptional waitress giving us some insight to many of the dishes on the menu. Her outgoing personality was enjoyable! She was hustling to all the tables to get the other customers orders in a timely manner. The menu was mind blowing of the many choses. What we ordered was absolutely delicious! Thank you to the Chef for making a fresh batch of arancini; eating them took me back to the time I was stationed in Sicily! We will definitely be back again!!!!!“

“Excellent service! Great food! Reasonable prices. Morgan was a great waitress! Perfect dinner! Thank you!“

“Best Pizza in town! As a certified pizzaholic, I should know!“

“I can’t recommend this place enough! It’s not just a pizza place—it’s a haven for anyone who loves delicious artisan food. Their pizzas are phenomenal, with a variety of creative and flavorful options that cater to all tastes. But it doesn’t stop there! Their Mediterranean bowls and dishes, like the Gyro and meze platters, are equally amazing—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. I order from them at least four times a month, sometimes even more, and they never disappoint. The food is always delivered on time, piping hot, and exactly how I want it. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set them apart. Nasıl? The quality of their ingredients is exceptional, and everything is so clean and fresh. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick snack or a hearty, healthy meal, this place has it all. I genuinely look forward to every order. Fast, reliable, and absolutely delicious—this restaurant is a gem!“

“Love a good slice of pizza
Hate a bad slice of pizza
So when I say I love that this store opened up
That comes from my heart and my soul
Best pizza I've had since my grandfather died my grandfather was Sicilian
Shout out Joseph Luciano
Miss you Grandpa

But when it comes to a slice of that restaurant that's right quiet friendly environment they could not have done better if they tried
I wish this was a chain of these
So I can eat there pizza more often“

“Pizza is great here, try and enjoy. Order in advance as it takes time to bake.“

“I tried their seitan wings. Super yummy!“

“I have ben to few Sbarro's, as far away as Nassau, Bahamas. the producte are consistent. I do like the pizza, new york style and Sicilian . Usually when. in colonie center I get ziti to go . After I pay I usually look at the wide pizza selection and enjoy it vicariously . The other things look good. As a good italian, who has done many reviews. As many as I come across. Sbarro's new ork style is quite good and if I was hungry for pizza, I would not pass it up .“

“Tastes god and delicious“

“Wow the pizza is amazing! I ordered the gluten free pizza and it was incredible. Husband and son got the regular pizza and it was also delicious! Cool atmosphere and the outdoor area is neat!“

“Had placed an order for a work party through mealeo and when I arrived to pick it up my order had never went through to the restaurant. The lady working was extremely apologetic and overall just had a wonderful attitude. She was able to get my food made and had me out of there in no time. Great service and great food!“

“Best Italian food in Albany!“

“always satisfied , staff and food is always great and family approved meals for sure🙌“

“Everyone is well trained and they are consistent with the food. I've worked a lot of food service and I know when an establishment is following high standards of cleanliness. I love that even when the owner isn't there the staff are working hard and being mindful of proper food handling.“
