50 Best Italian Restaurants near South Salem

“Amazing pizza and pasta“

“This place is a gem, a real throwback to when dining out was a pleasure. Been here several times for lunch and dinner. Warmly welcomed each time. The service and the setting and the food are all top-notch. Great fish always, and many traditional Italian dishes to choose from. Good sides, too. Each dinner entree comes with a lovely salad , nicely presented with a tasty house dressing. I feel fortunate to live nearby but would drive longer if I had to. many of their regulars come from other towns.“

“We stumbled upon this restaurant on Sunday and boy did we enjoy it! Absolutely stunning decor and delicious food. The service was also amazing. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to go back“

“A good spot for easy takeout pizza. The pizza and garlic knots are consistently tasty. Service is pretty fast and it’s convenient to order on their app. They also have a dining room if you want to eat in, and there are lunch and dinner meal deals.“

“Just left a crazy Thursday night at IL Forno. What a fun and enjoyable evening we had. We walked in with no reservations and the manager snuck us right in and we even got to the listen to an amazing singer. We have been here a few times, this was by far the most fun we had. Everyone was laughing. The staff which seems to be plenty was having a good time. The manager and Owners kept walking around and making sure all was good and everyone was happy. Thank you for restoring our fun Thursday evening with no COVID fears.“

“The wait staff were attentive and the food was delicious. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff were kind and accommodated our request for seating by the window, comp-ed our dessert and came out and sang as they delivered the dessert. Excellent service! We'll be back!“

“The Blue Dolphin is my family's all time favorite place to eat. I live locally and for at least the last 7 years this has been our number one pick for dinner. I was shocked to see anything but 4 or 5 star reviews here. It is authentic Italian food, do not expect a diner menu. The owner and his staff are nothing short of exceptional and always ensure my table has a positive experience. The food is phenomenal (try the Penne Salmon dish), the wine is excellent, the coffee/dessert is perfect, and all for a very fair price being in Westchester. My only complaint is that it is not twice the size because on Friday and Saturday evenings there can be lines out the door and a long (but always worth it) wait for seating.“

“From the moment you walk in you feel like family the entire staff welcomes you smiles food comes out hot and tasty.“

“Perfection in food and service was excellent and friendly service provided!!💝💝💝💝“

“Gisellas has been our favorite go to Italian restaurant in DANBURY since it opened. Food is always delicious and consistent and the wait staff couldn’t be more accommodating. Unfortunately last night we had a different experience the moment we walked in the door. Hostess was very unfriendly and dismissive, no eye contact and acted like she was doing us a favor seating us! Thankfully, like always, the rest of our dining experience was amazing!“

“Wonderful service and atmosphere!“

“Always the best food and friendly service. Been going here for years and it never disappoints. Fortunato and family care about every person who walks through the door!“

“Bacio is often our “go-to” restaurant when we are out with friends..“

“This place is amazing, everyone works together, they are all happy working about, when i say work together i mean there's no barrier on to who is taking what table, if something needs to be done then it's done. The several times I've been there Freddy, Chris, Anthony, Ricardo, Juan, Jose, Nefty, Brian, Jennifer, William, and of Course DAvid! They all rock, they all work so hard and treat the guests well and make us all feel well at home.“

“we had an incredible meal and chatted with the owners who were wonderful“

“From the beginning Lisa was very helpful and listened to what we wanted to do. Roberto was as well. Recently had a surprise party here for my Mom. The delicious food and friendly helpful staff was excellent! Our guests are still talking about it!! We will be back!“

“Maybe this was an off night for Dolce being new years eve. From the start, the waiter had one thing on his mind, get us out as quickly as possible. Waiter was not friendly, and had no interest in assisting us. Didn't even offer bread , only came after we asked during the appetizer. Food was average to above average which helped the situation. Ownership needs to school the waiters on better ettiquette with customers“

“Beautiful outdoor patio!!“

“Food was very good the staff most were attentive“

“Vesta Rooftop Kitchen is one of those places that continues to impress me every time I visit. I’m always amazed by how good the food is. Everything I’ve tried has been delicious, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared.

One of the things I really enjoy about Vesta is the rooftop setting. It has a great atmosphere and gives the space a fun, relaxed vibe that makes it perfect for brunch or a casual outing with friends. The rooftop area feels lively and unique, especially during nice weather.

Their brunch menu is excellent and offers a great variety of options. Whether you’re in the mood for something savory or something a little sweeter, there are plenty of great choices. It’s definitely a spot I look forward to visiting when I’m craving a good brunch.

The staff are also very friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Service is attentive and the team always makes you feel comfortable.

Overall, Vesta Rooftop Kitchen is a great place for delicious food, a great brunch menu, and a fun rooftop atmosphere. I always enjoy coming back.“

“I played live music here and i had a fantastic time !“

“It has been awhile (too long) since we’ve eaten at Portofino’s, just busy. It was very nice to be recognized and they were genuinly glad to see us “back”! Our dinner was delicious! I had the sea bass over risotto. The bass was cooked to perfection! And their service was excellent as always! Thank you for a wonderful evening! We highly recommend Portofino’s and we will definitely be back soon!“

“Really enjoyed our first time there. Can’t wait to come back and try more food!!!“

“We ordered take out from this place. We never ate Pizza from here before and wanted to try it. We ordered a Sausage, Onion and Garlic large Pizza and a Pepperoni small pizza. They were both delicious. The crust could have been a little crisper for me, but is was delicious and they were very generous with their topping. I will be going back there again soon.“

“Excellent from entrance to exit. Staff and food were superb!“

“Food and service was amazing! ❤️“

“My wife and her family all grew up going to Italia. I went there for the first time tonight and I was not disappointed one bit. The service could’ve been a little better but they were absolutely slammed so I do get that it’s had to keep up when you are being pulled left and right. The veal parm is the best I’ve ever had. The ravioli was great as well! I would say skip the pasta fagioli. It was a bit of a let down. My wife said the recipe changed from what she remembered.“

“My husband and I are both Italian and we completely loved everything from walking in the door to leaving!! The food was beyond perfect and our servers were extremely personable and attentive. The overall dining experience was amazing and the ambiance is great! I am an “artichoke aficionado” and the Carcioffi Fritti appetizer was perfect. The Pappardelle Bolognese was excellent and the Vitelli Funghi was so good (I got it with Chicken instead). Their sea salt caramel gelato was the best we have ever had. We will definitely add this to our fine dining list!“

“Everything at Olive Garden is perfect from the service to the staff and the food is delicious. Highly recommend it!. Also our waiter Josh is knowledgeable, empathetic, and helpful a wonderful asset to the Olive Garden staff.“

“Had my mom’s funeral reception here, as well as my grandfather’s two years ago. Incredible food, attentive staff, could not have had a better experience. Thank you Posa, for making an incredibly sad day so much better.“

“Excellent penne aka Vodka, the best Garlic bread!“

“I very seldom order take-out - but I tried LaFamilia for pizza when they first opened in Pound Ridge - and was not impressed. However, a few weeks ago I found myself without side dishes for Sunday dinner - and I ordered salads, broccoli rabe and a few other items and they were excellent. Last night I ordered two entrees and they were outstanding.“

“First time here and wow what a great time. The wine and drinks menu was good with reasonable prices and great option. We had an artichoke appetizer that was fantastic but the real winner was the eggplant parm- definitely top three and a real contender for best.“

“Delicious 😋 very good attention, excellent food, the delicious desserts“

“Great pizza and friendly service“

“The most delicious pizza. The crust is perfectly crisp and not heavy. The soups are so flavorful and truly homemade. We get them for our during the week dinners before sports. And we’ve catered on several occasions. The food is like having my grandma’s. This has become our go to for good reason.“

“I generally like the food, however, I tried the chicken parmesan and was disappointed. It was over done, dry, not much sauce or cheese. Maybe just a bad night. Generally it is pretty good......“

“Giacomo's just catered for us at stop and shop and all I can say is awesome!!! not only was the food great the customer service was exceptional!!! will definitely be using them again!!!!!“
