50 Best Italian Restaurants near Village Of Pelham

“Wonderful food. Wonderful service!“

“Nice people and nice food“

“Absolutely loved our experience here tonight! I am unsure of the hostesses name but she was a doll and clearly had everything running so smoothly. As walk-ins we were even able to pick where we wanted to sit. Juan was our waiter who was such a gem, so attentive but also did not rush us at all. We got the baked clams, veal Marsala and the gnocchi special which were excellent. The manager also came over to say hello which felt very personable. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Love love love. Been here a couple times now and plan on coming back many more. Wonderful staff and delicious food surrounded by a super fun environment. The bartender sang a few songs on a Saturday night and the whole restaurant lit up. A wonderful place to spend time in the neighborhood.“

“We used to frequent the Astoria location which was always so great. The new Manhattan location is no different. Somewhat smaller, but just very cozy and very nice looking. Amazing food as always. The flavors and taste are just the best. No matter what you order you will not go wrong. The service is top notch and Rocco and his staff are just the best at what they do. Just go, you won't regret it.“

“It’s a restaurant that’s reminds me of my childhood and my early Twenties that was my go to Italian restaurant. I loved everything about this place and enjoyed the great food. I took my wife to celebrate our birthday together and talked about how amazing it was growing up in this neighborhood.“

“the food is phenomenal and the decor transports you out of the Bronx“

“Great atmosphere. The food is fresh and tastes delicious! The staff is attentive and friendly.“

Amazing food, decent prices, specially for cocktails and drinks in general, I appreciate they don’t intent to overcharge you
Service is amazing, we celebrate a birthday and they sang and so on. Very cute 🥰

Thank you so much guys , will definitely come back again.

Ps : caccio e peppe is a must if you like creamy pasta.“

“Look on Yelp for an extensive review.“

“By far the best Italian in Astoria. Yes, it's very pricey (full on Manhattan prices) but it's a rare instance where you're paying for real quality.

Mushroom risotto with truffle was excellent, perfectly al dente, and not overpowering with the truffle. The ravioli were super delicate and definitely made fresh in house. Pricing at $32 and $38 is pretty nuts for a plate of pasta, but they were very good.

For appetizers, the calamari was clearly fresh, lightly breaded, and perfectly fried, and the meatballs were moist and tender.

Timing between the courses was great; enough time to digest and enjoy the meal with no rush.

Dessert - tiramisu and panna cotta - was fine but nothing special and overpriced at $14 a pop. I'd skip it next time.

All in all an excellent, albeit very expensive, meal and without a doubt the best Italian in Astoria.“

“Beautiful restaurant! Food very good except for one time. Service also usually good except for one time. Reasonably priced as well. I've been there 4 times & plan to be going back soon!“

“Had an amazing experience at Da Giorgio. The food is incredible and is the real deal authentic Calabrian cuisine. Everything tasted fresh and homemade and the desserts were insanely good. The service was fantastic from start to finish the ambiance is perfect small, romantic, and very welcoming. Definitely one of those places you can’t wait to go back to!“

“Today was our second time here and from start to end this place was outstanding, the drinks were so refreshing, the grill octopus as an appetizer was so tender and yummy, the entree and deserts, all very good !“

“They haven't changed their ingredients at all it's nothing like being able to enjoy s childhood fav... that's rare. I remembered when they first open. Till this day they still will give a free pizza for every 10 pizzas you purchase. Keep your coupons they give you! It's how you get your free pizza.“

“the food is so amazing. this place never disappoints.“

“We had a wonderful meal there - all four entrees were excellent, the service was perfect, and the price is very reasonable. I wasn't expecting such a tasty meal!“

“I took my family to la riserva last week. We had an amazing dinner. My girls loved the pasta fagioli!!! They also enjoyed their meals; pasta with marinara and the chicken parmigiana with green beans. My husband and I equally enjoyed our meals. The service was great. Our waitress was knowledgeable and everything came out in a timely manner. I will definitely recommend la riserva to my friends.“

“Wife and I flew into JFK late one Friday. We were famished , it was 1030 by the time we got to Arthur Ave.. We parked and walked , came upon people eating alfresco. We asked if any place was still serving. The "MAN" Vic asked what we would like, from one of the tables. In no time we had a bottle of Vino Tinto in front of us and people were making us try food they were dining on. I felt like I was at my friends ,' THE PIAZZAS " house. The food was excellent and the people better. Can not wait to go back !“

“My first time here but have been following them for years. OMG, the real deal! I was in a rush so ordered two sandwiches and three pies for a pick-up, but saw that tire was stocked with authentic Italian products so want to come back and shop!“

“This was the warm Italian hug I was wanting on our recent trip to NY. We were at the MOMI down the street, and had made reservations for dinner at Sac's after the museum. We had tired, hungry tummies, and were a good hour from our original reservation time. The good people over at Sac's accommodated my family immediately, and with pleasure! The atmosphere was welcoming, comfortable, inviting, and straight up authentic..this coming from a Sicilian girl with olive oil in her veins. My family ordered a variety of dishes, each one spectacular! 2 different pizza's, fried zucchini, sausage, and the BEST shrimp scampi I have ever eaten! The staff treated us like family, and were super attentive, anticipating our needs, and not missing a beat. At the end of our meal, Domenico Sacramone, one of the owners came by our table to chat, it was lovely and greatly appreciated! That's the extra touch of love, and attention someone who really cares about their business, and their customers puts out! It was genuine, and made the experience that much better! If we were locals, this would be our weekly dinner spot! Thank you to all over at Sac's Place for a wonderful meal, and a fantastic dining experience! We will most definitely be back“

“I have never had a bad experience here and I mean that, I’ve never even had a slightly bad experience in a slightly negative way. The food is incredible, the service is wonderful, the setting is perfect, I love how small and intimate it is, and I love the fact that’s family owned. I go to this restaurant once a week and God bless you to the owners and the staff for not only a job excellently done; but I hope there are many more years in the future, of us having the privilege of tasting the deliciousness that comes out of your kitchen.“

“After living out of state for the past 5 years, we needed to find a local place to have a private family luncheon after funeral services for my father-in-law. We met with Sergio on Wednesday and he completely accommodated all of our wishes for that upcoming Saturday in his beautifully appointed private room. We couldn’t have asked for a better four-course meal and the staff provided service that was top notch and utmost respectful under the circumstances. We enjoyed a memorable celebration of life! Thank you Sergio & Staff for making a very difficult day, end with warm hearts and happy bellies 🖤 Until we visit again...“

“Excellent food. Good drinks, fabulous views, friendly staff. Definitely recommend“

“Incredible. The warmly furnished dining room of Osteria Sardenga was immediately welcoming, and the service only enhanced that feeling, never rushing or interrupting the dinner. But more than the service or atmosphere, the food was the true star, and the meal I had tonight was one of the best I have had in months.
For appetizers I tried the meatballs(juicy and flavorful with a pecorino accented tomato sauce), the Sardinian flatbread(crisp and cracker like covered with cheese and peppery herbs), and the Artichokes which were the best thing I ate that night. Tender and sweet poached insides, contrasted with a crisp and nutty fried outside, and drenched in a lemony sauce; If you order nothing else, order the artichokes.
For my main I had a pasta dish called Malloreddus, which I later learned refered to the small shell like pasta shape and not the rich beef ragu that coated it. And the pasta was the star of the dish, each pleasantly chewy shell scooping up generous amounts of meaty ragu.
As for desserts, I was able to try the chocolate cake(decadent), the tartufo(baseball sized with a generous snappy chocolate shell that melted in the mouth), the pistachio cheesecake(a unique and delicious version that had three layers, one of cake, one that was creamy and white, and a pistachio layer with little crumbles of pistachio in it), and the tiramisu which was maybe the best rendition of tiramisu I had ever tasted. And I'm sure, as the owner said when he slipped the dessert menu in front of us, that there were no bad desserts on the menu. In fact, at this point I would be surprised if a single dish on the menu, or on the extensive specials menu, wasn't good. I will definitely be coming back.

Some small critiques at the end, although my mom won't stop talking about how good the meatballs were, having only two felt a little sad. And my pasta dish was a touch too salty. I wouldn't want this to scare anyone away from ordering either dish though, as both were still excellent.
Also there's a small parking lot in the back.“

“Fantastic food minus a menu, you feel like you’re at your grandparents house for those of you who are fortunate enough to be Italian“

“Went for my daughters 30th birthday We had a table outside for 12 people Staff and the owner Dean went out of their way to accommodate us Everyone enjoyed their food The staff and Dean are very friendly Having the waitress sing Happy birthday with her beautiful Voice was extra special“

“We went there as a last min for a friend's Bday b/c Con Sofrito cancled our reservation the day before. Thank you for accommodating are group. We were all happy with the food and service.“

“I placed an order with Frankie’s today, and they were a little backed up because of all the orders they had. The management team was very accommodating and apologetic when my food came out late. I truly appreciate their professionalism and hospitality. The food was amazing, and I’ll definitely be back. Thank you for the great service!“
