50 Best Italian Restaurants near West Islip

“only complaint was how busy it was and I can totally understand why. everything was amazing steaks and italian food alike. I'm super picky about my food and I was shocked how great everything was. I live an hour away and am already planning my next visit back. my new favorite restaurant. highly recommend“

“Love the way it made me feel, it was classy made me feel old-school, neat and clean, made me feel like I was at home. The flavors of the food were different and extremely delicious. This is my First time in NY. I've always wanted to try authentic NY pizza, this was by far the greatest experience I could have ever had. We didn't expect the prices to be so affordable especially for the quality of food and taste. To top it off for being out of town and our first time here the hospitality was welcoming, just like family. My husband and I travel for work and we needed to have some time out the truck They were close to closing but told us to take our time. No rush and it made us feel like it was okay and that we weren't holding them from closing and to enjoy our food and rest our bones. It's hard to find this kind of quality in restaurants these days. It isn't about appearance it's all about the love and time to make such exquisite dishes“

“READ THIS
! My spouse and I only had 5 minutes before we needed too drive to the Ferry or we would miss it, but we were SOO hungry!
We were only looking for a gas station to get chips because of time constraints. When this lovely spot caught our eye with their pizza by the slice. Apon entering we were greeted by 2 fellas. I could be wrong but to me it seemed they maybe related, best guess was grandpa and grandson. They were warm welcoming and happy to even share a tasting of their own “boom boom” sauce. We ordered one sausage and one chicken parm Stromboli. They cut them in half and packed them warm with boom sauce and red sauce, and even some parm sprinkle cheese. We decided we would share so we can taste both. First up was the sausage. It was love at 1st bite for us BOTH! The perfectly crisp outside with a filling to dough ratio that was heavenly! The blend of peppers and cheese paired well with the sausage. The chicken parm is a Classic and did NOT let us down! Just like the sausage’s crispy dough & warm center, and perfectly cut, bite size portions of chicken! Although we had sauces, it was NOT needed for either of the items, but indeed we saved them to try at home. As my niece would say, this was definitely a “GREAT mistake for me”! We are delighted to have discovered this GEM and look forward to going again!
Due to driving and hunger, no photos were taken. I am not one to sit and write a review but this meal was worth my time and effort, I had to write it as soon as I sadly took my last bite!“

“From start to finish our experience with Our little Italy was perfect. John was so great to work with for all our catering needs. The food was out of this world. So many comments on how amazing the meatballs were. Love using people from our home town. Thanks for everything!!!“

“We moved off Long Island over 8 years ago and always loved la Parma when we lived here even though it was an hour drive for us to enjoy the amazing food. This time when we came up to visit for Christmas we knew we had to get there for a great dinner. I can easily say it still is one of the best places to get amazing Italian food around. The Chicken Napoli was phenomenal and there is nothing like their penne à la vodka! The drinks were great and service was top notch. We also happened to go the day after Christmas when we got lots of snow and the car valet even brushed off our car! We were so happy to not feel rushed because we were there with great friends and just really enjoying ourselves! We can’t wait to come back and visit from Georgia to have their food again!“

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the impeccable service and care your entire team provided during the recent funeral of my brother, Steven Blair. On what was undoubtedly a difficult day, your professionalism and attentiveness stood out, creating an environment that allowed our family to come together in remembrance and support. The timeliness of events, while never guaranteed, was handled with such grace and efficiency by your staff, which brought us immense comfort. I would especially like to commend Sean for the exceptional management of the logistics and preparation. The quality of the food and the attention to detail did not go unnoticed, and it sincerely exceeded our expectations. Your efforts contributed greatly to making a solemn occasion feel warm and inviting, allowing us to focus on celebrating Steven's life.

“Holy moly!! That’s all I can say! First and foremost today was my first time ordering two sandwiches after my mouth watered seeing a friend bring her sandwiches to a basketball game a couple days ago and I said I have to try them out. Upon walking in I felt at home seeing so many Italian staples, my eyes lit up. I’m so sad I didn’t know about this gem earlier. Everyone there was so nice and welcoming even going far as showing me around and even giving my husband and I a sample. I’m so excited to go back and be a regular moving forward.“
