50 Best Italian Restaurants near Smithtown

“Yes!, but I have been there a few times all have been great but this last time. The food was salty. I mean every dish. We spoke to manager who was extremely nice. Apologize and did the right thing. But I will go back for sure“

“Food was delicious and nice presentation!“

“I have been ordering from them for years. They always deliver a tasty meal for a great price. Sandwiches, pasta or pizza, they have the best food in town!“

“The veggie was loaded!

The owner(s) know what they're doing. Dunno if they are chain, but they will make a Bronx-win if they replace the (bland) cheese.

Better service than most *****“

“My wife and I had a delightful dinner here during a Thursday evening late last month. When we arrived, we were glad that we had made a reservation, because most tables were occupied already. Live music was provided by a cover band playing popular tunes from a variety of eras: it was well-received by the patrons, some of whom even danced! Several members of the staff alternated serving us; all were pleasant and helpful. Our food - pasta primavera and wonderful, warm bread - was delicious, as were our wine and beer. I look forward to the possibility of another meal here, if we visit the area again.“

“Love going here. There a bunch of pizza shop like two minutes from me. But Manninos is the place to go. One under rated item is there buffalo chicken sandwich is amazing. The guys behind the counter are also friendly and always ready to help satisfy your hunger with recommendations. This is my go to!!!“

“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.“

“The food is out of this world. The servers are professional and patient. My husband and I felt great, relaxed and we were able to talk unlike other restaurants that you can't hear people on your table.“

“I grew up in a 100 percent Italian family and I have to say Nona’s lasagna was the best I’ve ever had in my life. At 58 years old I have had plenty of lasagna. This is my new go to spot for Italian fare.“

“Amazing food Nicest people Very clean Obsessed with their rigatoni rustica Grilled chicken panini Grilled chicken salad French fries and bbq sauce 😋 Yummmmmmm“

“We had the most delicious dinner here. The atmosphere is very chill and extremely welcoming. The wine list is versatile and the food is just amazing, very clean, well balanced and not overly sauced. The pumpkin ravioli was just delicious. I highly recommend and cannot wait to go back.“

“We had an incredible experience at Luca in Stony Brook! Came with a group of six friends for a family-style dinner, and everything from the service to the food was outstanding.
Our server, Kacey, made the night—she was incredibly attentive, funny, and personable, with spot-on recommendations throughout the meal. The cocktails were excellent, and they helped me find the perfect glass of wine to pair with our dishes.

The menu had something for everyone, including one pescatarian in our group who had plenty of delicious vegetarian and seafood options.

We shared a range of dishes:
First Course: Artichoke & Crab, Summer Squash, Calamari, and Meatballs—each dish was fresh and flavorful.
Second Course: The Squid Ink Agnolotti and Braised Rabbit Paccheri—both unique and beautifully balanced.
Third Course: Lamb Chop, Potato-Crusted Halibut, and the Wagyu Skirt Steak (a daily special)—all cooked perfectly, with layered textures and bold flavors.

The portions were exactly what you'd expect from a restaurant of this caliber—elegant but rich and satisfying. Everyone in our group left with very full (and very happy) bellies. Each of us had a different favorite dish, which says a lot about the variety and quality of the food. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Delicious home cooked Italian food. Relaxing warm and cosy atmosphere.“

“Our first time dining but certainly won't be our last time. Great local Italian restaurant. Atmosphere is great and very welcoming staff is terrific and friendly. The menu is fantastic with many delicious dishes. It's great that they have their own parking lot. Their prices are very reasonable for the quality that they provide. It certainly will be on our regular dining schedule.“

“Staff and food were amazing. High recommended“

“Very good food nice people“

“Incredible. One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Every dish was better than the last. The fried little necks were next level and that’s coming from a native New Englander. Can not recommend enough.

The chef is owner as well and cares about every single thing that leaves his kitchen. The prices are beyond reasonable. You can truly tell he just wants to give people an incredible meal at a fair price.

If you are in the area or are traveling, this is a must stop.“

“My new favorite place in Port Jeff! Food is delicious, staff are great!! I used to manage an Italian restaurant in Manhattan, I tend to scrutinize restaurants, 2 thumbs up for Pasta Pasta, say it again!!! 😋 🍽 🍷“

“This is my fiancé and mine official favorite restaurant of st.James and surrounding areas! Always great food and staff, we have even used their catering and the owner Sal always comes over and says hi! Keep it small and make sure you come to this amazing small business. Skip the sushi and big chain restaurants 😂“

“Just picked up food to go the Bolognese with Angel hair pasta for the 2nd time since Sunday, my wife got the Chicken parm dinner and had ordered Lasagna this past Sunday absolutely AMAZING, thank you so much I drove 1/2 hr away just to get it! Well worth it!!! Thank you !“

“I was in town for business for one day. We stumbled upon this place and instantly knew we had found a winner. The young ladies at the counter were warm and welcoming. They didn’t hesitate to make suggestions and help us decide. The Chicken Parm was one of the best I have ever had and the portions are huge. The pizza was amazing (highly suggest the buffalo chicken). If you are looking for a true small town restarting, this is your place. Thank you. I will definitely
Be back if given the chance.“

“Service and staff are excellent. The dinners we had tonight were outstanding! Definitely will be returning for another great night out❤️“

“Love their food. Just not happy with the pizza“

“We had an amazing chicken cutlets sandwich w/mozzarella and tomatos thinly sliced on a hero and the bread was fresh and crunchy on the outside.... we also had a mozzarellas/red peppers/black olives salad.... delicious and the Coffee was so tasty!!!! Both me and my g/f always use sugar in our coffee , but here we didn’t even need it!!!! It was delicious!!!! The crew are so nice!!!! I recommend this place !!!! You could take out or eat in . They have a few tables that you can sit down at... it’s really cute!!!!! Enjoy!!!!!!“

“Always the best, food is delicious and very consistent, the staff is exceptional.“

“Really nice place with a rustic, romantic vibe. The food and service was excellent. Served hot and nicely portioned. Cesar salad was your with anchovies and dressed just right. Artichoke and spinach flatbread appetizer was excellent also.
My girlfriend got the Tuscan chicken over spaghetti and was a really nice portion. It needed a little salt but otherwise was perfect. I got the orrechetti with sausage and broccoli rabe and was very good. Sausage could have been cooked a little less and there could have been more broccoli rabe, but was still enjoyable. One other thing, they asked if I wanted cheese sprinkled on top, which I loved, but they used the wrong cheese. Instead of sprinkling grated Romano, they spooned on shredded parmesan. Not really appropriate for that dish.

“What a great place, food was wonderful ! And the service was excellent. Brought our out of state family of 10 and every one enjoyed there food and great view of beach and sun set. From delicious appetizers to dessert every bite was delicious.Special thanks to Reily our server she did a great job . Thanks La Casa we will be back! He“

“Just had dinner and Marvin was our server. He was absolutely amazing. Beyond friendly and made sure we always had every refill (from soup to drinks) to make our dinner perfect! Marvin was also friendly and made our dinner experience fantastic!“

“Thank you for taking care of us at our daughter’s graduation party! We had the most amazing time! The food and service was top notch!“

“Whether you dine in or order pizza to go, you will be happy you went to Mama's. I love coming here on pasta nights (Monday and Tuesday) for the (very reasonably) fixed price meals that include soup/salad, entree, dessert, and wine. There's always enough to re heat for lunch the next day. If you have friends from out of town that want to try real long island pizza you should order from Mama's. I moved away and I cry every time I eat their za. The servers are so hard working and friendly. Shout out to Christy!! She's killing it!! Ps - pasta nights get BUSY so it would be smart to make a reservation.“

“We, thankfully, had a reservation on a Saturday night. We had a spacious table for 4. Brittany was our waitress. She was wonderful. She introduced herself, took our drink orders, gave us time to look over the menu, told us about the specials, was attentive to make sure we had everything we needed and wanted. The appetizers she suggested were delicious. The courses were nicely spaced apart. Each course was cleared from the table before the next course was served. We never felt rushed. The food was excellent. Atmosphere was quiet to enjoy a conversation. We will certainly be returning.

Parking: We used the valet parking.“

“Great selection and great food“

“This was my spot growing up in East islip. Great food and people! Always grab a slice when I’m home“

“This pizzeria restaurant has delicious pies. Marconys has a nice restaurant side. The food is delicious. The owner is from Italy. We’ve been getting our pizza here and decided to cater a few dishes. Let me say , I am extremely picky with eggplant parmigiana. I usually make time consuming dish but I did not have the time. Marcony’s eggplant parm was the best ever. My kids keep raving about it. We also had the chicken franchise that was tender and delicious! We will be ordering here again very soon.“

“Thank for my roast beef and mashed potato and my buffalo blue pizzas 🍕 yesterday, my husband was so happy I bought his two favorites back to Pennsylvania for him! They travel great and always delicious 😋“
