50 Best Italian Restaurants near Washingtonville

“I grew up eating here and I still haven’t found a pizza place to match. The owners and their family run this place and it’s always such a joy to spot them there. This place makes the best Sicilian pies I’ve ever had! They feed the whole family. If you ever have a chance to stop by you should. It’ll be worth it!“

“As a young child, I lived in Washingtonville. After 60 years, I finally returned for a visit. I was showing my husband around, and wanted him to try actual NY pizza, and I randomly decided on this place. It was a perfect pick! The pizza and service were both great!“

“Always a pleasant experience and as a Vegan, regardless of menu stating V or not they always go above and beyond to ensure there's an option for every person. Even so many GF options as wellVegetarian options: Many vegetarian options possible“

“This place is absolutely fabulous!!! Staff was super nice and welcoming and the food was honestly great. Recommend getting the penne vodka and the dessert is honestly a must have! Tiramisu and cheesecake made me absolutely happy. Definitely coming back!!!“

“I really enjoyed my main course and the sangria. We came here to celebrate my sister's birthday. I will say the Cesar salad was delicious and so was the tortellini Alfredo. The flavor of the Alfredo sauce was quite delicious. We had some appetizers as well which were ok. We had the mozzarella sticks but they were overly cooked; almost burned. I did not like the bruschetta; the flavor of it was not very good. The garlic bread was ok but it did not have enough garlic. My sister ordered the bolognese and it was good as well. My niece had the chicken Parmesan but she did not like it. I thought it was ok but the noodles were a bit overcooked for me. The service was good; our waitress was nice. The food was good but I think there are other place which are better. I am not sure if I would be back. If you are in the area; I do think it would be worth a stop.“

“We dined here Monday night. What a great night.Appetizers : Calamari for me, my husband had steamers....both excellent, along with very good warm bread and delicious butter!My husband had a seafood dish over pasta, I had the short ribs.....we finished every bite, DELICIOUS!!!Creme Brulee for me for dessert, my husband had a mousse and oreo pie....Again neither of us were disappointed!! Our waiter David was very attentive.....kept our drinks full and dirty dishes removed accordingly.Went to the bar after dinner and enjoyed a very good espresso martini.Such a nice evening and we can NOT wait to return!!!“

“We celebrated my brother in law’s birthday here and had to move our reservation by a half hour to 19:30, so glad we did because the place was packed, the wait time may have been longer, they were very busy. We waited for our table at the bar and noticed they had Blanton’s and Bulleit, two of our favorite bourbons :) The rough-hewn ceiling decor reminded me of the old days… with all types of antique kitchen cookware hanging from it, which lends to an old world charm. As appetizers, we ordered the Gnocchi Taleggio; Homemade Gnocchi in Taleggio Cheese - Cream Sauce topped with crunchy walnuts and garnished fresh parsley.Next we were able to customize our Burrata with quality prosciutto, which was a bit thickly sliced, but that’s ok. The Burrata was creamy… yum. Our waitress verbally gave us a vast specials list, Vincent was a bit hesitant (due to past experiences elsewhere) to order the filet mignon because they are not a steakhouse, but our waitress replied they have a butcher in-house ( as well as a pastry chef) that cuts and preps all the meats and she highly recommends it, with that, he decided to give it a try and selected it with a peppercorn sauce.It was a toss up between Venison with mushrooms in a Marsala sauce or Elk with a green peppercorn sauce between Chris and I, lol. Chris ordered the Elk, which turned out to be the best selection, mine (the venison) not so much. I thought the Mushrooms were a bit too dehydrated and the meat had a liver taste and consistency, I took it home. The mashed potatoes had a hint of truffle, but were a little loose. The broccoli was tasty, fresh and crunchy. We celebrated Chris’s Birthday with a tiramisu, our server came out singing Happy birthday, which was really nice. The complimentary bread with sautéed eggplant and herbs was a nice touch as well :)You don’t feel rushed, even though there’s other patrons waiting to be seated.The prices were great for the quality of food. We were treated very well by the staff and they continued to serve us through the night without having to be flagged down. The restaurant gives off vibes as if you’re dining in Italy at a family home.Another plus is there’s Ample parking.“

“I was really hungry and in a rush. The pizza was wonderful and tasty. It wasn’t soft and greasy like other places around. The zapolis was a nice treat afterwards. It was made fresh at that moment nice, soft and warm. It’s a spacious clean establishment this place is a hidden gem in this community. I will certainly return and bring my family.“

“Found this place after some googling and the reviews seemed promising so we decided to give it a try. All of the food and drinks were absolutely delicious and the service was great. All of the staff we interacted with were wonderful.. bartender, waiters, bus boys and possibly an owner/manager were extremely nice. My toddler ended up spilling his water on the floor and even though it was embarrassing for us no one made us feel as if it were a problem or inconvenience. The ambiance was wonderful as it seemed like a place where they have a lot of regulars, so it felt homelike in the best way. We will definitely be back.. (with a spill proof sippy cup!)“

“Ducktown Restaurant has such delicious food and the people are very kind and welcoming! Such great food - We love their homemade pizza, meatballs, chicken francese, calamari, poison tacos and especially any specials made by Chef Alex. For example, the Corned beef and cabbage on St Patrick’s day was excellent!! A really convenient and clean restaurant to go to for lunch, dinner, drinks, desserts. A+++“

“If you are looking for a great slice of Sicilian, this is the place to go! If you are looking for anything other than Sicilian, it's still the place to go! Definitely recommend giving this place a try if you are in the area and craving pizza.“

“Hole in the wall is an accurate description, but the slices are ridiculously large and delicious. I ordered two veggie slices not realizing that each one is its own meal. The place resembles a deli, or bagel joint, so there’s not much ambiance.“

“My family eats out often and lately have been disappointed. Mario's is a true hidden gem. TRUE Italian food, the food & drinks AMAZING ! Our server Gabby was so attentive & amaxing as well! We found a great place to enjoy food & family!“

“Everything on the menu is delicious...house dressing is unlike anywhere else...even the soups are 5☆ Makes the BEST Chicken Francese in the Hudson Valley hands down...end of discussion! Great atmosphere with amazing food that's reasonably priced.“

“The pizza was delicious and their wings are delicious!!! Very friendly staff and fast service. The pricing was surprisingly fair. A large pizza and an order of wings filled up our family of 4. The pizza wasn't heavy on the tummy so we didn't feel guilty afterwards haha.“

“Celebrated our 50th anniversary May 4th and it was amazing to say the least. We had 32 guests and Beka the owner did everything possible to make this a culinary memory along with excellent service that paid attention to every detail. Honorable mention to his lead staff member Joe who made everyone feel special. The food from start to finish was enjoyed by all. Many of our guests will be visiting Monroe again & again to sample La Vera Cutina’s delicious menu. Thank you Beka and staff for a wonderful evening.“

“I usually try different pizzas toppings, so I always eat the same thing. Haven't been disappointed yet. The place is a little dated, but so are most pizza places. If you are going there to eat pizza and not the walls, I would recommend this place to you.“

“Hands down the best pizza in the area. I have been coming here since I was in High School. My family and I eat here or order from here weekly. Not only is the food amazing but they are great members of our community. Both of my daughters have had "Pizza making" field trips and loved learning how pizza is made. The owners took their time to open early, work with the kids and provide them with an awesome experience that they look forward to yearly. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. Whether you want a quick slice or a full meal, you can't go wrong.“

“We had such a wonderfulTime! The pizza was amazing. We live in the Village of Montgomery and frequent someOf our local favorites but we drive the extra 3 minutes and had the best pizza! And our twin 5 year old boys we captivated watching the young man make pizza fromScratch. Our 1 boy finished his pizza and his brothers extra slice. So tasty!“

“I was working in Montgomery and ordered sandwiches for me and the guys to be delivered. Everyone loved their sandwich! I personally had the best Italian combo I have had in a long long time! The bread was amazing and there was plenty of meat and cheese inside. When the delivery came, we had ordered some 2 L bottles of soda and asked if they could send some cups. Upon arrival we noticed there were no cups included so the delivery driver went back and got some for us! Great service, and great food!????“

“Delicious...delicious...delicious. I really enjoy the food here. Everything is freshly made and tastes great, A cool spot to enjoy a meal and the service is top notch! One side is a pizzeria with seating. The other side is a bar with a section with tables at the back of the restaurant. I have been here many times and it never disappoints.“

“If you are contemplating ordering take out or are in need of catering, Frankie T's is fabulous!! We ordered BBQ empanadas, pulled pork nacho and cochinita piril!! The food was delicious and the portions were more than enough! Certainly gained a regular customer!“

“Nice place which seems to have reliable Italian food. For someone just passing through it was a good place to stop. We had 4 main courses and were all fine. The Nona pasta with smashed meatballs listed on the menu just had sliced meatballs which was quite disappointing.Nice modern interior and very good service.“

“Wife and I love the food..expensive but good...low atmosphere rating due to experiencing a strong cleaning chemical smell the past few times we've dined in..gets in your nasal passage and makes it hard to enjoy your food. We are not ever ones to complain but find it disappointing because otherwise love the place.“

“Outstanding ambiance and the staff was great. The food was spectacular. An unbelievable positive experience. The cauliflower pizza was to die for and the pasta and garlic bread was superb. They know their food and can prepare to any spice level desired or no spice at all.Vegetarian options: They can customize to your preference.They care about what they cook and customize to your tastes.Wheelchair accessibility: Bathroom was ADA friendly“

“ABC is a great local place that we frequent every once in a while with friends for low-key, informal dinner. The service is always great and the food is well-portioned, made fresh and a good value for the price. The atmosphere is "dated pizza place/diner" but there is a separate dining room and plenty of tables and booths. Comfortable, clean but far from fancy. They serve beer and wine at a reasonable price too...so that's a plus! It doesn't look like much from the outside but you won't be disappointed once you go in!“

“What a great place. Went with a large group and had great service. Food was outstanding. From apps to dinner everything was really good. Sad part no room for dessert. Oh wait, Took canolas for desert to go. And they were very good. Will be back for sure.“

“We often go here to get our pizza fix and have had no issues until today. Their hours say they close at 11 pm but when we tried to order around 8:30 to 10 pm, they have not answered. Thinking we got the time wrong we checked several times and it still says 11 pm they close. Very disappointed.“

“I am a retired law enforcement, I have eaten all over the state, for an Italian pizza place, Franko’s is one of the best Italian food pizza/ restaurant I have eaten in.. great pie to, and they load up the wedges.. respectively RG“

“Randomly came by for lunch with my son and was pleasantly surprised by how good and 'simple' the food is. We love that it's not over salted and has a clean/pure taste. The place is clean so we were able to enjoy a sit down meal. You can order pizza by the slice as well as larger pies, pastas and sandwiches. Note, try the breakfast pizza! We don't see many places with this and it's great to have in the morning!“

“This is an update 3 years later-Moved out of the area- came back this weekend for a visit and knew we had to get a pie to bring home. My goodness these guys make good pizza- just as good when they opened up a few years back, crispy, fresh, sauce on point, made with love. Now Living in NJ and haven’t been able to find a spot that comes close to Saporito. Order here!“

“From Upstate NY and being half Italian, the food here reminded me of home in so many ways.It was just simply great food. All the flavors were present, the feelings, the smells and textures.This is not fine dinning, but compared to other places in the area you won't find better food.Love the vibe of the place, the staff were overly friendly and attentive.Would go back in an instant to try something else.“

“staff was pretty quick and though taking my order, and barely waited for my food to go. Meatball slider was very good, I appreciate they are cut in half meatballs then full ones since those are a lot messier to eat, plus the garlic knot it severed in very soft and not overkilled in minced garlic. Grandma slice was great, crust was perfect and not mussy, but wish there was more grated parm and basil on top. Italian combo was great, and the bread used for it was soft, pretty lightly dressed. overall good food here and i found there prices here pretty fair compared to other pizzerias in the area with the same items.“

“Pizzarama is def a gem of Monroe. They have a huge menu and all the food is quality. Way beyond what you would expect from a pizza shop, they are much more. So much in fact I had them cater my Christmas Eve party. The food was fantastic especially the lasagna. Highly recommend. .“

“J&F has delicious food. Their meatballs are homemade and legendary. It is a very laid- back, small, and unassuming place on upper Broadway in Newburgh. Almost all of their business is take out- hot and cold sandwiches ( locally made bread), pizza , soup, and pasta dishes all made on site. Started by 2 brothers (John and Frank) , it has remained in the family for over 50 years. Very friendly people and good food. It's our go-to place when we need a quick meal.“

“My wife and I like the food at this place. We usually have to wait a little longer for simpler orders but it always tastes great. The staff is always very nice. The place itself could use a quality of life update. Overall, takeout from her is generally good food.“

“I only went into the pizzaria side, not the full restaurant. But, the service was fast, the pizza was delicious and reasonably priced. All in all, a good little Italian eatery. Sometime soon I'd like to try the sit-down restaurant area.“

“I moved up to Chester four years ago and have Visited a good majority of pizza shops and I must say here is Chester's hidden gem Tina's Pizza Café restaurant as far none the best amazing the pizzas phenomenal. The cheesesteak made me feel like I was back in Philly and the chicken Parm, Mamma Mia, Mia. Everything was amazing. The staff, the service, the owner, the place feels homey the music, the food served hot the atmosphere beautiful This place has been my go to spot. from the french fries. Look out McDonald's you have competition to the teriyaki chicken wings can't get enough of that. I dare anyone to stop by Tina's pizza and tell me if I'm wrong...I love this place I give it 10 out of 10 stars.“

“This is my 4-5th time here in the last few years. Always a solid choice. Food is always good and service is usually on par. Ambiance is quiet and tranquil. Really can't ask for much more. Prices are regular Italian establishment type. Pizza is decent nice crust, good sauce, and toppings are fresh. Bread is crispy and warm. Pasta fagoli is good, Italian wedding is amazing, and the tortellini en brodo is klller! Deserts haven't partaken...can't seem to get there.“

“Cosimo’s is always a treat.The crispy chicken is always cooked perfectly and their menu is filled with interesting items. We ordered the fungi pizza and chop chop salad, highly recommend!Excellent and attentive service and we wanted to enjoy our own bottle for an occasion which they let us bring for a reasonable corkage fee. So happy about that. We will be back for more birthdays, and celebrations for sure!“

“Some of the best pizza in town! & they make one of my favorite Caesar salads. The staff is very friendly and attentive. It’s really easy to order off their website and by the time I get there my food is ready to go. Perfect for a Friday night!“

“I believe I can most accurately judge how I like a restaurant's pizza by ordering a plain slice to start. My first time here so that's what I got. A surprisingly great slice of pizzat! The dough/crust is delicious, either the best or tied for best I've ever had. The sauce is excellent as well. The cheese was very tasty and almost tasted like "extra cheese" it was so cheesy... Fresh tasting somehow, I don't think they use mall-cheese (the standard premade "pizza cheese" mix) that many other places around here do. I actually don't like for it to taste like "extra cheese" unless I ask for it but that is being super picky and the only less-than-perfect comment I could possibly say cause this is great pizza!“

“Great food, great service and great prices. You can’t go wrong at Joe’s Pizza and deli. The pizza is amazing. I really love the cheese ravioli and the meatball sub. The people are so friendly and helpful. If there is one way to improve this place it would be make it bigger.“

“After a long afternoon looking at modern outdoor sculpture at Storm King and an hour walking the streets of the historic town of Montgomery looking for a congenial place to eat, we were fortunate to try Vic's Pizza, where we had the dining room to ourselves and were treated to generous portions of delicious food prepared and served by family members who take pride in pleasing customers and their palates. Everything we ordered--Lucy's Favorite Pizza, the Greek salad--was pleasingly presented, substantial, and tasty. I got the chicken parmesan with spaghetti pasta and tomato sauce, and it was divine--the best I've ever had, anywhere!“

“Edit/update: after trying the food again it was a complete difference and service was excellent and the response to the original review was perfect and honest happy to say it’s actually a good spot go check it out! Happy to have you part of the community my first few experiences were bad but one great experience makes a huge difference! I hope the pizza stays as good as it was tonight! I’ll be back next week lolI’ve been a customer my whole life growing up eating here and it was great but after the new ownership quality has went down severely everything I have tried taste very bland and honestly is not good I’ve tried 3 different things since the new owners and I have not liked any of it! I had 3 others who are regulars ( my roommate, cousin, and close friend ) who are also very disappointed by the changes and used to be regulars! My close friend said he actually got sick and was puking, my cousin said it was some of the worst pizza he has had, and my roommate claimed it was very disappointing due to no flavor. Hopefully if the new owners see this the locals and regulars aren’t happy and we want the pizza we all grew up enjoying back!“

“My family just moved up here few years ago. I walked in this pizzeria one day for lunch and was like ok, and never went there again because of that experience. Other day we ordered from there and I was pissed that I never went back after that first experience. Pizza had a nice sweet and tangy taste. Garlic knots were amazing, fried ravioli and the sauce that went with it was enough for me to go again. So I just told my wife I want Marcelino’s tonight. Sorry I didn’t give it a second chance.“

“My family and I were so excited when Carmela’s finally re-opened and we all were able to enjoy their amazing food once again! This past weekend it did not disappoint! Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection and the service was 5 stars! Morgan was incredible and spot on for all that we needed that evening! Ask for her personally when you make your reservation!! You’ll be so happy you did! Bon Appetit ??“

“I liked the service, the food, I can't say because I only ate pizza, but it was delicious. I recommend it. The super extra large one is great. The atmosphere is calm.Kid-friendliness: There are no restrictions for children, you can go with your whole family and children, the place is spacious“

“came by for lunch here, staff was pretty nice and let know what they had when I had questions. The buffalo pizza slice was pretty good, it was not greasy, the crust was soft but not too soft or burnt, also plenty of chicken on top. Meatball parm was alright, bread was soft but not burnt, I appreciated the meatballs cut in half with sandwich since it was easier to eat, also plenty of cheese. i felt like there was quality and care with my food, plus i do like they have a lunch special here.“

“I come here for the dinners. Everything I ordered has come out from the kitchen hot and delicious. My daughter likes the slician. They have good deserts too. I don't mind paying for the tip on my bill because the servers work hard and deserve it. I would recommend.Kid-friendliness: The staff is good with kids.“
