13 Best Italian Restaurants near Southold

“Went to Maroni for the first time today....we split the chicken parm, the chicken milanese, and the penne ala vodka. All of it was amazing!! I can't even choose which I liked best, as all three were so great. Had the meatballs as well, and they were also perfect. One of the best meals I've had in a while, and I have nothing but good things to say.“

“The food is excellent and the pizza is even better. There once a week. You will be pleased.“

“We visited on Saturday evening during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. From the moment we entered through the front door, we were welcomed by big smiles, big smells of delicious food, and what felt like a warm hug from a good friend. Classic and palette awakening cocktails. Try the brandade fritters and the best Caesar salad I have ever enjoyed. Sea bass was fresh out of the waters that surround the east end. The burger and the roasted chicken. For sides we ordered the onion gratin, romanesco and French fries. Surprise banana split for dessert. Delicious! See you again soon. Happy Holidays!“

“We had a great dinner at this restaurant. All the appetizers and salads were fresh and delicious. The pizza was crispy and perfect. Side note. I left my credit card at the restaurant. Owner called me to inform me and stayed late until I could go back and get it.“

“The food is amazing and the staff is incredible. We had a blast there last evening. Can’t wait to go back!“

“We love going to Capelettis — it’s a charming local restaurant that always makes you feel welcome. The owner and chef, Luigi, always greets you with a smile when you walk through the door, which makes the experience feel very personal and special.
He is an amazing chef — the pasta fagioli soup is the best, and everything is always delicious. The staff couldn’t be nicer, and the whole place has a very homey, local feel.
One of our favorite spots — we highly recommend it.“

“Shared the duck and veal entrees which were both phenomenal. The duck was nice and crispy on the outside and perfectly medium in the middle. Fatty, fresh, delicious. The veal was chopped and mixed in with mushrooms in a delicious creamy sauce. That dish came with what is basically a German pasta on the side. We put the pasta in with the sauce so it would soak up all the flavor. Didn’t leave anything left on either plate. Will visit again next year when I’m on vacation“

“It is a pizza store that looks like most others but the pizza is exceptional! I had a slice of Margherita and then ordered 2 more for home! Their menu is very extensive with Italian dishes. It is a big space for roomy dining.
The woman behind the counter was so friendly and welcoming,as well!“

“Pellegrino‘s is some of the finest Italian food on the East End. It also is a cool place to hang out with a casual vibe with no pretense.. as a local realtor when people ask me, what’s a great restaurant in the north sea area Pellegrino is always the first to come to mind. Great food fantastic service a small, but vibrant bar area or what you’ll find here.
They make a great pizza.
I cannot recommend this place more highly.
Stop in for a bite you will not be disappointed.“

“Great local place with excellent food and wine in a comfortable friendly atmosphere.“

“Born in New York and grew up in Huntington. This is my First time at Romas and visiting mom from Virginia, my son has never been to any authentic New York pizza joints. So when we tried Roma’s, he had the Sicilian and he told the owner “it’s the best pizza he ever ate”. Coincidentally the owner knows Tony from our local pizza place in Virginia. Real glad we got up for some real New York pizza before leaving to go home in little ol’ Virginia.“

“Lovely dinner with my family last night. Waitstaff could have came around to keep drinks full and make sure our needs were met. Food was delicious but someone needs to please clean that pizza oven. Burn bottom and crust was a bummer as everything else was very nice. Photo is my take home slices. All three pies were this way. Such a shame. My family came from MA.“
