10 Best Italian Restaurants in Troy

“We recently celebrated our 49th wedding anniversary, which was a good choice. We found the staff to be polite and friendly from when we entered until we left two hours later. The environment was pleasant and easy with a touch of class. The half-chicken "Picata" ordered was "mm-hmm good" served with an exquisitely savory sauce, prepared by Chef Jake, who is a rising star and a compliment to Troy's fine dining experience. My wife and I also appreciated and thought it "cool" that the owner "Vic" took the time to talk with us. Enjoyable evening and location!!!“

“Excellent vibe and interesting food choices what really makes the experience is the super down to earth staff that seems to know their crowd. Asia especially was a breath of fresh air with quality recommendations and exceptional service. I will definitely be back“

“Sat at the bar and was served by Vinnie. Vinnie was super nice and we had great conversations. Gabriella was also very smiley and friendly (she drinks a lot of water lol [inside joke]). I ordered the veal cordon bleu and my adult son had the lasagna. I’ve been to Italy and this meal was just as good, if not better, than some of the food I ate in Rome, Gaeta or Naples. The food was nice and hot, the bread was perfect and the everything was tasty. Great job we will definitely be back!“

“Great dinner, service and complimentary dessert as it was my birthday! Verdiles never disappoints!“

“They're moving in the wrong direction. Prices are much higher, portions are smaller, service is mediocre, and I felt "nickeled and dimed". After paying $130 for a bottle of wine, I was charged $2 for the extra sauce I requested but never received. Veal Sorentino was dry (thus my request for extra sauce).“

“I have been wanting to come here for awhile, and finally made it last night. Overall a good experience, but nothing I would go out of my way for. I ordered a glass of riesling (no Savignon Blanc by the glass, which was odd imo), and after the waitress brought it over, another waitress took my glass to fill it more (my kind of service!). The bread was not the kind of crusty Italian bread you would expect; it was the size of sandwich bread, with no chew to it. Plus we only got FOUR pieces of it. We saw the other waitress give out a nice full basket to her tables. I do not not typically eat bread, but I look forward to it at these places, especially to dip in my salad dressing. The salads were also meh. No veggies, just lettuce and onions. The vinegar peppers were a nice touch, but they're from a jar!

Onto the mains: I ordered shrimp scampi. It was more like linguine with shrimps and broccoli; very disappointing (and DROWNING in oil). No garlic or wine to be found anywhere, plus I'm pretty sure it was frozen broccoli. My mom makes the best, and this did not even come close. My friend ordered the combo, which I thought was cool & something different. You get chicken parm, eggplant parm, a meatball & lasagna. He liked it, said the sauce was really good. It did not come with pasta though, so he paid $4 for a side of buttered pasta which is ridiculous imo.

Anywho, I was glad to try it, but I will go to Verdile's next time. Their menu offers some different things, which I like. I will say though the service was very nice, and I enjoyed the Frank Sinatra playing. Happy eating!“

“This is in response to the review from Etem Cetin below since I can’t respond. Next time you want spew false accusations and hate toward my restaurant and myself please make it believable. Also don’t hide behind a fake profile. You know where you can find me. Also I’m not sure how you ate lunch at my restaurant since we don’t open until 4pm, please troll someone else and get a life.“

“They are just chill def an amazing place to hang out the pizza is competing pizza war lol I love you“

“ate here tonight for the first time food was great..waitress awsome party of 4 we had pizza wings and nachos and the chowder soup can't wait to go back and try some other dishes..“

“I’ve been ordering from Inferno for a couple years since I moved to Troy and I’ve always had good experiences! I really love how they give their stuff a little homemade touch. I mentioned it was my birthday and asked for a cat on my box and they came through! Totally made my night ?“
