50 Best Italian Restaurants near Wheatley Heights

“I was in the area looking for a quick bite, and wasn't expecting much especially considering the low prices, but I was pleasantly surprised by some really great quality sauce on the slice I got (margherita or grandma I honestly don't remember, it went down the hatch so fast). Real full bodied flavor. Honestly, in a county littered with pizzerias of varying quality, Little Joe's gave me the best slice I've had in a while. Service was fast and friendly.“

“The food is out of this world. The servers are professional and patient. My husband and I felt great, relaxed and we were able to talk unlike other restaurants that you can't hear people on your table.“

“What a great restaurant! Angelo and Oscar run a tight ship. Can’t wait to revisit.“

“As always I give this restaurant 5 stars. Met friends for dinner on Sunday night. The service is exceptional. All of us had something different and we all enjoyed our food. My friend did a price fixed with filet of sole and said it was delicious. The brussel sprouts appetizer was excellent. We also started with fried calamari, though small portion, was good. I had a hamburger which was huge with the onions and musrooms. The burger was cooked to perfection. The other two in our party also finished their food. It was very quiet so we were able to communicate easily with our friends.“

“This is my new favorite spot for Italian!! As a local from KP we had not been back since this was Sal's, but clearly we waited too long.. Saturday night, got seated in 5 min, great service.. Owner checked in, and opened and poured the wine. Food was spot on, and did not wait long. Chicken Valdostana, fantastic, definitely recommend. Ambiance was cozy, not loud and décor had me wanting to book a trip to Tuscany. No time for dessert, but next time I'm ordering a Sambuca. Not pretentious, not over priced, just a great spot that clearly the owner has a lot of pride in. Thanks, we will be back! *Don't write reviews often, but this one is worth getting the word out.“

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.

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.

“We have been coming for years and never had a bad meal. We love this place and is a staple when we go out or to bring in. It's a hidden gem.

Congratulations Matt you have a great restaurant.“

“I had my son's wedding rehearsal dinner at Zona last night. I was originally booked to have the party on Saturday, but the bride came down with the flu. Gianna was so helpful and accommodating. She was able to change the date for me without hesitation. The day of the affair, the staff was so helpful in getting the room set up for us. Our waitress, Jodi, was absolutely incredible. She made sure that our guests had a fresh drink before they even realized their drink was empty. The food was delicious and plentiful. But most of all, the service that Jodi provided to us was outstanding. I would book another event at Zona without hesitation.“

I live an hour away and am already planning my next visit back. my new favorite restaurant. highly recommend“

“We love Piccolo and have been going for over 30 years. Our apps were fantastic, Edie Isley the linguini with clams; the eggplant and the oysters. Dinners were also very good, with special praise for the lobster special and tuna. Personally I was sad to see my favorite, filet of sole Roberto has been replaced with Branzino Desserts we're amazing, especially the Italian cheesecake“

“The food is consistently excellent. The team is very professional and makes each guest feel like a VIP! Wonderful and welcoming atmosphere for almost 40 years! La Parma II is a great asset to Huntington!“

“Angelo’s Little Italy is the best. I’ve been there for dinner several times and they never disappoint. From the service to the food, everything is great. This past weekend, we had my sister’s bridal shower there. Tina the owner and her staff went above and beyond. We were able to arrive an hour and a half before our party to decorate. They even offered to hang a command hook on the wall so we could hang something. We had a brunch menu and Bellinis, mimosas & bloody Mary’s. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend giving them a try for lunch or dinner or if you are hosting a party. Can’t wait to go back again!“

“BEST FOOD IN THE AREA!!!“

“Maroni's is as good as you've heard. If you're not from the Northport area, they're worth the trip.
If I had to make a suggestion, make reservations for the complete tasting menu, guaranteed you won't leave unsatisfied!
in an era where service is an afterthought, you'll feel at home, as if family is joining you for an experience as opposed to strangers forced to take care of you.“

“Great service as well!!!!!“

“Il Bacetto is an Italian Gem in Seaford NY. We had our Mom’s 90th Birthday celebration and everything was outstanding. Angela & Rocco are the owners and they go above & beyond to make sure everything is perfect! The food is delicious! Please try there famous sangria you will love it! Angela makes a napoleon cake that is out of this world! Presentation and Service is excellent! Go for lunch. Go for dinner. Plan a small gathering— it will be your favorite place!“

“Olive Garden has a few different appetizers, main dishes, and drinks. We tried the shrimp appetiser, and it was amazing. Our main dishes were great as well and so was dessert. This specific location in Bayshore, New York, is so spacious and clean. The service was outstanding, our server was so good, and the manager stopped by a couple of times to make sure we were getting everything we needed. We were really happy all around. Will for sure come back.“

“Nice Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Farmingdale. I went on a Friday night with some friends, we had drinks, appetizers, and obviously main courses. Everything was good from the bay clams to the fried calamari and the muscles with a basil cream sauce. For dinner, also Buco, chicken, Parm, Bronzino, and eggplant dish, and a chicken and sausage platter were served. The weight staff was excellent. They were constantly offering us more drinks topping off the glasses of water. Dessert and coffee was later served overall we had a very enjoyable evening. Vespa  in Farmingdale is essentially located near the Nassau County Suffolk County border. It's a great meet up spot for friends who live in Suffolk County and as well friends who live in Nassau. I would definitely recommend Vespa in Farmingdale. I recently read that they opened up a second location. I will definitely be back to this location. Bon appétit. “

“My husband and I had Chicken franchese, Gnocchi sorrentino, Sides of caesar salad and penne ala vodka. Everything was delicious. Even the oil to dip the bread in was amazing. I loved everything! We can’t wait to go back and try the family style dinner.“
