50 Best Italian Restaurants near Suffern

“Every time we go to Lavagna, the owner and his staff are always gracious and accommodating. This past weekend, my family and I were looking for a place to go after my Mom's wake. It was after 8:00 pm and we thought we would try Lavagna, knowing that they may not be able to accommodate the 12 of us as is was late and Friday's are usually very busy. We asked and they went out of their way to seat us as close as possible and served us with a smile even with two picky kids in tow. The food was delicious, as always. Thank you Lavagna staff for a relaxing, delicious comforting meal!“

“Tonight I had the pleasure to dine at Bici restaurant in Ramsey, NJ. From the minute I walked in, I knew I was going to like it! You are greeted in such a warm and friendly manner. One of the owners, Marcello makes his rounds around the room speaking to his customers and making you feel at home. Everything I ordered was delicious and the waiters are so polite and attentive. Pleasant atmosphere and I will be back again. Thank you staff for your hospitality. It’s a BYOB. It’s a small restaurant with outdoor dining. Definitely 5 stars!!!!!“

John made the pizzas and they were delicious. I tried for the first time the margherita vodka pizza. OMG it was Ah-making.

Thank you. Thank you. Looking forward to next time“

“I order pretty frequently from Dom’s in Nanuet since I work nearby. Yesterday, when we got our order to Sloatsburg, there was an omission in the order ( we really should have checked before we left). As always, Dom’s went above and beyond to make this right. They drove my order to Sloatsburg and included several delicious extras! Their catering always makes our events delicious, but yesterday they made it extra delicious. Dom’s has amazing food and even better service.“

“My wife and I recently celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary at From Scratch, coinciding with the restaurant’s 10th anniversary, and it was an unforgettable evening that exceeded every expectation. From the moment we stepped into the warm, inviting space, the staff made us feel like honored guests, with a special nod to the milestone celebrations—both ours and theirs. The atmosphere buzzed with a joyful energy, perfectly balancing sophistication and comfort, as if the restaurant itself was toasting a decade of culinary excellence. The four-course tasting menu was a masterclass in flavor and creativity, each dish showcasing the kitchen’s dedication to crafting everything from scratch. I began with the beef tartare, a delicate yet bold starter. It set the tone for what was to come: precision and passion in every bite. My wife got the eggplant caponata for her first course, a vibrant dish that was both rustic and refined. It was a testament to how From Scratch elevates humble ingredients into something extraordinary. The handmade raviolis were an absolute highlight, each delicate parcel bursting with a silky ricotta filling. The pasta was so tender it practically melted, a labor of love that spoke to the restaurant’s name and ethos. We couldn’t stop raving about the texture—perfectly al dente, yet impossibly light. The mint added a hint of freshness to the dish, that I was originally hesitant about, but I’m happy I gave it a go! For the main courses, my wife got the lamb. Perfectly cooked to a rosy pink, it was fall-apart tender, and had a perfect crust on the outside. The dish was hearty yet elegant. Equally stunning were the scallops, seared to golden perfection with a buttery, caramelized crust. They sat around a small bed of caviar with purple mashed potatoes. Each bite was a harmonious balance of sea and earth. The meal concluded with a ricotta dessert that was nothing short of divine. The creamy, cloud-like ricotta mousse was paired with a coulis with ginger dough crumbs. It was the perfect sweet note to end the evening, light yet indulgent, with flavors that lingered long after the last spoonful. From Scratch isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a celebration of craft, community, and unforgettable moments. For our anniversary, we couldn’t have chosen a better place to mark the occasion, and we’re already looking forward to returning to see what the next decade brings for this culinary gem. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a dining experience that’s as heartfelt as it is delicious!“

“Love their food and excellent service. Waiters are very attentive. ❤️“

“I have been coming here for years. I consider myself a good cook but when I need good food that I don't have to prepare, this is my go-to place. The staff and owner are great! Try the stuffed peppers, Chicken Milanese and Lasagna. OMG!“

“Great food wonderful atmosphere , and for us lots of great memories. We have been going to Berta’s with our family since we were kids.🤙🤙“

“Ordered takeout tonight. For takeout, I was very impressed. For how the food was though, it was fine. I ordered the snapper bellavista. The spinach that came with it was so bland. I get it is spinach but it should at least have salt and some oil or garlic. I got a side of potatoes for 7.95$. I couldn't believe the portion that it came with. There were 5 mini potatoes - I could not believe it. Such a ripoff and so ridiculous. The potatoes were undercooked for the most part and just tasted like salt and old oil. The snapper itself was really good and the sauce that it was topped with was delicious. I would definetley get it again. I have been to Andrea's numerous times over the years and I was definetley disappointed with this experience but I will keep coming back because the food is usually consistently good.“

“Really can’t say enough about this place for family celebrations: Excellent friendly service, & a menu that has something for everyone, including accommodations for gluten free.“

“Their Linguine with White ClamWin Sauce is one of the best I have ever tasted. I actually asked for a straw to get the remaining Sauce from the bowl. 😊“

“Dined at Fig and Tomato on a Wednesday night with my wife. Started with the most delicious flatbread with an oil spread. Wife had a large portion of chicken Milanese with delicious burrata on top. I ate the chicken Amalfi with sausage and hot peppers. Had a perfect amount of heat and beautiful thin cutlet. Ended with homemade ice cream trio which was amazing. Waitresses did a great job keeping our meal very well timed. We’ll be back very soon.“

“The best everything Italian. Sandwiches deli salads hot food and fresh ravioli on Friday and Saturday. Sauce gravy and Pizza simply the best thin crust you can not compare until you have had it from their oven!“

“The food is always delicious. Rosario also supports organizations through dining to donate/coupon days contributing a percentage of the proceeds supporting humanitarian causes. You cannot beat that!“

“We had a wonderful Dinner at Novelli Restaurant in Wayne NJ yesterday celebrating my amazing Wife Karen's birthday. Food,service and ambiance was outstanding !“

“Saturday was our first time at Fiona’s I’m already planning to return! Our server Banna was excellent as were the rest of the staff The food was excellent and the portions were nicely sized which included a dinner salad. Lovely atmosphere too.“

“They are a great company to work with and I love the awning. We ended up needing an awning that extended out 13' as we we recently installed a new deck that gets a lot of sun. I found a bunch of awnings that extended out 10', but the longer awnings were harder to come by. I found some, but I was not confident. I ended searching the internet, found Alutex, they came by and we ironed out exactly what I needed. The awning is a roof mounted 20' x 13'. The awning makes the deck such a nicer space now as when we have people over in the summer the sun won't beat down on us. You'll be happy with this company as they care about their customers and product.“

“I eat there all the time because they have the best bread ever. Old Italian is never a bad choice.“

“We have ordered from here many times and love the pizza. But this week, we needed to order a Gluten Free pie, which was not only delicious but came with its own pizza cutter, so there was no cross contamination! Well done, Peal River Pizzeria!! Thank you for that!

“I have just moved into the area, next-door to my best friends! They brought me to Tony’s for the first time, and I loved it! I just ordered my first takeout order to feed my friends who were helping me move in and it was delicious, timely, and the friendliest service!“

“Overall, I thought the food was good, and prices were fair. Unfortunately, the service was mixed, and while our server was pleasant, there were too many mistakes. Wrong food to one of us despite my friend being very specific, and she read back the order. Another pasta dish was way overcooked despite being told al dente. Our appy was supposed to be shrimp, crab, and lobster, but it came without the shrimp. While these may have been kitchen mistakes, the server is ultimately responsible for making sure our order is correct, not the runner. And there was more, spoke to the manager and he did the right thing taking off for one dinner and one appy but this was just bad training. Overall, we had a good time, but Im not running back here.“

“I Sent my friend a Johnny's pizza for his 70th birthday last week. Unbeknownst to me, my friend was in the hospital during that time. I called Johnny's and advised them of this and they very graciously Sent a free pizza, celebrating my friends healthy return home. My old friend just finished the pizza, and shared it was delicious. Not only are Johnny's Pizzas Large, their kind Hearts are even Bigger! Bravo and God Bless, Mike C from North Carolina“
