50 Best Italian Restaurants near Valley Stream

“Such a rare find. If you go on a Friday or a Saturday you’ll be treated to a live performance by a spectacular singer. The atmosphere feels like you’ve been teleported to Europe with authentic Italian cuisines. You’ll be greeted by the owner himself. He and the servers make you feel like family serving you food on par with that of a michelin star restaurant. Truly an amazing spot.“

“Not sure if I’m saying his name correctly but Azzo is a blessing. I have eaten here before and their pizza is amazing. However their hospitality is unmatched. My battery died in my car right in front of their establishment. Azzo literally came out in less than 5 minutes to see what was wrong. He made sure I left safe. God bless you for your compassion for me. Other than calling my insurance I don’t know what I would of done but you treated me like family. I pray you and your family are bless beyond what you can imagine. Please if you have the time stop by this establishment their service is top notch.☺️“

“kinda dark in there. no strong cell service.
in the pic it was a chicken alfredo pasta dish
lunch option came out to $20ish plus 20% tip $25 total.
portion was very small but i was fine w that but most americans will not see value here. food itself was decent as expected
salad was too saucy/sweet and bread was plastic

maybe i got charged the regular amount instead of the $11 lunch? but the waitress swirled the ipad around asking how much tip and i did not see my bill.“

“My daughter had her sweet 16 there and the place and service was amazing. Food was great! Phil and his staff were awesome. They were very attentive always made sure we had what we needed. I would recommend WM to anyone looking for a formal event,“

“The food was amazing. The service superb! What more could you want??!! This was our first time here - and we definitely will be back - loved it!“

“Hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner here and we are SO glad did - everything was perfect! Everyone could not get over how delicious all the food was. Danny worked with us to create a menu that was tailored to us and our guests and we got SO much food included in the package we did. He also worked with us to create table arrangements that worked best for our event. I was worried at first that the space only being partially private and not a true private room would be an issue but it was not at all! We really didn’t need it and were happy to still get to enjoy the Sinatra singer that plays for the restaurant that night. He even came over and sang for our party and had us dance which was not expected but a fun surprise that we loved! Overall we had a great event here and I am so happy we chose them to host it!“

“Great food and great service“

“I definitely recommend trying this place out. Most halal places in new york don’t have a nice vibe or atmosphere, but this has the right colors, the ambiance, and the food is amazing. Cute little date spot for sure.“

“Absolutely adore coming here. The service is attentive but not overbearing. The food is top notch with great selections. It’s a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion, or just to treat yourself. The manager Pure is friendly, and Gian who has been our waiter the last two times is wonderful. Top notch place.“

“My go to place for special occasions. Mike always makes us feel at home. Not only is the food fantastic, but the staff is helpful and kind.

Great portions and even a decent amount of healthy options. Thank you to the staff for making my night even more special!“

“The pan seared roasted chicken is amazing!!! My family and I found this place a few weeks ago. It's a beautifully decorated, clean and fairly new establishment with a very polite staff. My children have had the ravioli, the penne and the chicken fingers and each loved their meals. It's a hidden gem that we are happy to have found :)“

“Great Food and great service! Buffalo chicken slice is the go-to!“

“We picked Rialto to try for a last minute dinner and had a great experience. A friendly and professional server brought our drinks quickly and made a great wine recommendation. We split the stuffed artichoke which was tasty and a perfect size so we were still able to enjoy our entrees. Husband got Osso Bucco over saffron risotto and I got shrimp and spinach rigatoni in a light tomato sauce. Both were delicious and I was surprised how many shrimp were included. I couldn't even finish them. Overall, we had a great night and look forward to a return visit.“

“We had a last minute reservation for 8 people, and we were lucky enough to snag a table. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE! Our entire table loved the food. From the appetizers (the warm bread, the amazing carmalized onion spread, & the Calamari), to the main courses (the NY strip steak, the shrimp, and the ravioli), to the dessert (trust me... get the bread pudding!) everything was impeccable. The service staff was also amazing, very attentive and kind. I will definitely be back!“

“We had Thanksgiving dinner here with my two boys. The service was absolutely outstanding. Our waitress was amazing . The food was beyond what I expected. Well done!!!! The portions were beyond believable and believe it or not the take home portions were just as amazing as they were when first brought out. More than 5 stars. Excellent evening and the price was ridiculously resendable. Great job to all the cooks and the people that don't get the recognition they deserve in the preparation of this fantastic meal.“

“I've ordered their Eggplant Rollatini and Chicken Parm tray for just about every party I host and it's always perfect! Plenty in the portions, they don't skimp on the chicken. It's always very neat in the tray which I appreciate!“

“Atlantic Pizzeria on Atlantic Ave in Freeport NY- It was my first time visiting this restaurant today and though I don’t normally write reviews, I felt compelled to state what a wonderful establishment! My daughter, who is very shy, spilled a drink in there and the workers replaced it immediately at no charge and cleaned it up right away! As a parent, this meant the world to me because I did not want her to feel uncomfortable.. thank you and we will be back! Please support!“

“We sat at a table in the back and were able to easily heard conversation. The food was excellent from the seared tuna special, sausage gnocchi, shrimp and special homemade pasta, and veal Milanese. The service was excellent, and the wine was reasonably Priced and delish!“

“Great food, great service! Will be back for sure!“

“The atmosphere was great and food tasted yummy. Since it’s my first time here, I don’t really read the menu and the staff was very patient to explain everything to us, especially to remind us not to order too many since we’ve only got two people.
Strongly recommend the mussels😋“

“The food here was absolutely outstanding! My mother and I visited, and we were both blown away. She had the four cheese ravioli with vodka sauce, and I had the pollo zingarella—both dishes were seasoned to perfection and tasted incredible. Even though it’s Italian cuisine, the food felt surprisingly light and fresh as we ate.

We travel often and consider ourselves serious food critics, and this place is hands-down the best Italian food we've ever had. In fact, it's now on our short list of the best meals we’ve enjoyed anywhere in the world!

The service was equally impressive—very personable and attentive. We even had the chance to chat with the owner, who was incredibly friendly and shared some great tips on how to make a high-quality Marsala sauce at home.

Highly, highly recommend coming here. I’ll be making trips to Long Island just to eat here again and try more of their menu!“

“Had my manager retirement dinner here, the best place to eat in Malverne. The food was delicious everyone was satisfied, staff is courteous and professional and the owner very friendly. He stopped at our table make sure all was well. My new favorite spot definitely will be visiting again.“

“The restaurant is so charming, and the service was excellent , excellent choice on food ! I'll definitely be back“

“Absolutely the best! Treated us like family! Authentic as is it gets! 5 stars!“

“My wife and I really enjoyed the entire setting family style dinning. We both love eggplant very much the seasonings were not salty or spicy plenty of sauce stuffed with fresh ricotta cheese. All of what we could see were large entrees no fru fru at all. This is another local good place to dine in Floral Park.“

“My son and I went here after I did my research to find the best delis in Hell’s Kitchen, and this was consistently the top answer. We had limited time in NYC, so every place we visited had to count, and Sergimmo’s did not disappoint. I had a Caesar salad, while my son had a Pasta al Pomodoro e Basilico. Both were great, and so was the shop owner’s treatment of us, obviously not from around the area. Next time we’re in NYC, we’ll be back!“

“Had a wonderful experience. Food was delicious. So happy to know I have such a great place just 6 mins away from my house. Totally recommend Concettina!“

“Chef Chris was professional, punctual, and helped me host the most amazing dinner party for my mom‘s birthday in the Hamptons. He created a fantastic menu and was able to accommodate all dietary restrictions while keeping the meal, smooth, consistent, and absolutely delicious. He is not only a delight to work with, but incredibly easy to coordinate with. He was such a pleasure to have in the kitchen, helped me prepare the table and made me feel at ease, even though it was very probable that our outdoor celebration might get ruined by the rain. 12 out of 10 if you’re hosting a dinner party in the Hamptons or in Aspen, he is your guy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone for any occasion.“

“First time me and my son loved their seafood is fresh and delicious compliments to the Chef“

“I have been here numerous times and have always had the best experience.All waiters and helpers pitch in to make the service fantastic and have recommended it to all my friends.“

“We discovered this Halal pizza place and decided to try it out. We ordered the veggie and plain pies, both of which had a thin, crispy crust. My husband and I really enjoyed them and even brought some home for the kids to enjoy. The pizza maker was quick, clean, and very friendly, making the experience even better.“

“Family place...always good...and very reasonable...like eating at momma's....Really a well kept secret by those who think food is more important than a perfectly lit room...must try....you will make friends there.“

“An excellent family lunch. The food was, as usual, delicious and fresh. The server was friendly and efficient. It was quiet, a real treat for this restaurant that gets noisy at dinner time. Not one complaint about the delicious appetizers and main courses..our off season choice for great Italian food. Summer parking next to impossible!“

“Outstanding food and service. Our server Luciano was awesome.“
