43 Best Italian Restaurants near Wynantskill

“Paolo Lombardi's Ristorante exceeded our expectations during our first visit this evening. The Marsala was flavorful, and the rest of our meal was equally satisfying. We will definitely be back. The only drawback, was not visiting this restaurant sooner!!!“

“Bacchus has been the best most under-rated pizza in the area…in NY..for years. However something changed recently. I don’t know if it was a one-off but their flour or dough changed. Not in a good way. What happened?!?“

“Stopped in Albany en route from NYC to the Adirondacks — this spot would not be out of place among the great Italian restaurants in lower Manhattan. Genuinely one of the best Italian meals I've ever had, in a beautiful location on Lark Street. A must try when you're in Albany“

“Pollo alla Rusa, perfection, bread and butter, perfection, vegetables, perfection, portion sizes ample. BYOB Chef seasoned my meal expertly! Atmosphere could use a bit of upgrading. Best real Italian meal I have had in Florida.“

“Fantastic subs and salads with delightful and friendly guys putting them together. I hope it never changes because the quality of everything they offer is excellent. The price of the food is very fair compared to other shops. I don’t want cold cuts everyday but I only purchase the Boar’s Head brand that is used for their subs.“

“We went to Anthonys last night. Meal started out great with the fresh, warm bread and dipping plate. Caprese salad, also excellent! Tuscan chicken and veal marsala were both top notch! Best meal we have had in awhile!“

“The food, service & ambience were all superb!! 5⭐️“

“Sat at the bar and was served by Vinnie. Vinnie was super nice and we had great conversations. Gabriella was also very smiley and friendly (she drinks a lot of water lol [inside joke]). I ordered the veal cordon bleu and my adult son had the lasagna. I’ve been to Italy and this meal was just as good, if not better, than some of the food I ate in Rome, Gaeta or Naples. The food was nice and hot, the bread was perfect and the everything was tasty. Great job we will definitely be back!“

“Just this evening, I ordered take out from the wrong location. I called Stuyvesant plaza instead of Slingerlands. When I called Stuyvesant about the mistake the manager said, “ No problem”. What’s your address ? I will drive it out to you. Within a 1/2 hour this awesome guy Justin pulled into my driveway with all our food. Hot food and cold salad !! Thank you. Way to go!!“

“We went to Norrine's for dinner last night and it's definitely a "do over"! I got the stacked fried haddock. It's out of this world! Our waitress Kathy was very accommodating and very funny. We never laughed so hard!Our entire dining party was impressed with everything. Kudos to the chef. We will be back! Five Star for sure!“

“Ricardo and his brother are amazing! I walk in and hear how are you Mr Frank everytime. Food is always perfect! I order appetizers, sandwiches, pizzas, dinners always delicious! My favorite is the Blackened Chicken Sandwich! Highly recommend you to try them!“

“Thank you! For a great take out order!! For my Mother on Mother’s Day! Delish! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I will be back!“

“A great place for a fancy dinner with friends and family. They have great selection of wines and spirits that pair well with the pastas and other entrees. The wait for a table is short and the atmosphere feels like you’re in the middle of Tuscany. We got the French Onion Soup and Mozzarella Caruso for apps which were delicious. For entrees, we got Pesce Alfredo and Linguini Alle Vangole that hit the spot. Great service as well. Will come back again.“

“First time visit to La Perla in Averill Park, NY Thursday 8/17/23 6:30pm reservation. We came because of the music by The Next Chapter, Alan Saunders & Mike Derrico formerly of the Good for the Soul band that played at our wedding in 2006. They were set up in an nice courtyard at the rear of the restaurant, but an hour later had to move inside due to the rain. Very prompt service by the staff. We ordered drinks and looked over the menu. We settled on two appetizers: eggplant rollatini ($20) and the clams casino ($22). Note: clams are offered in 6 different styles. Italian style entrees from $18-33, more for specialty fish entrees i.e. zuppa de pesce $51. This is a fine dining restaurant offering well prepared and a variety of dinners. Bill was $100. for two meals & four alcoholic beverages. We ended our evening at the unique bar & dining area where we could still see & hear the band. This place also offers overnight accommodations & is an event venue. A very good first visit here. Restaurant Hours of Operation: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday 4PM - 9PM Friday & Saturday 4PM - 10PM Sunday 3pm-9pm Restaurant is closed on Tuesdays. Reservations are recommended. Thank you to all the staff at La Perla. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY“

“I called from TN, to have the staff bring dessert to my extended family having a birthday & dinner celebration as a surprise.. they were beyond professional, courteous, & the customer service almost made me cry as they kept it a complete secret/surprise the way they had it all happen. The owner, Frannie, even texted me after, let me know how it all went, etc. The food, service, & staff i.e.(Jackie) (Frannie) & the lot, are to die for, the absolute best!! The atmosphere is perfect, all because the people who work there genuinely care about others!! Thank you ❤️💯“

“My son goes to RPI and we discovered Moscatiello's Italian Restaurant two years ago. We love going there for dinner. The food is great, the menu is HUGE and the customer service has always been excellent! It is our go to restaurant in the Troy area.“

“We went to Milanos for the first time today, and we’re never going back. To say that the service was terrible would be an understatement. Ordered a large pizza and watched it sit there on the counter getting cold because the server was MIA. I was going to walk over there and pick it up myself, but I flagged down the other server who did it for me. Same thing when I asked for the check. I could see if the place was busy and they were understaffed, they weren’t. As far as the food goes, mediocre at best. The “large” pizza was actually small and we left there hungry. We should have eaten at the burger place a few doors down.“

“My husband and two of our friends went for dinner tonight. The drinks were on point, our calamari was delicious, I had the chicken Milanese which I loved, my husband had the casarecce. Our friends had the bolognese pasta dishes and we were all quite satisfied. Can’t wait to come back and try the pizzas!! Highly recommend!“

“custimer service is excellant but most of all their pizza is the best of the of the best keep the good work up you all rock“

It was appreciated by our whole group!!! The food!!! To die for! I'm Italian and give it 10 stars in all categories!! So great chef! Frank. the owner, came to our table just to socialize...thankyou! Can't give Taste of Italy enough thumbs up!!!!“

“Best Pizza in town! As a certified pizzaholic, I should know!“

“I can’t recommend this place enough! It’s not just a pizza place—it’s a haven for anyone who loves delicious artisan food. Their pizzas are phenomenal, with a variety of creative and flavorful options that cater to all tastes. But it doesn’t stop there! Their Mediterranean bowls and dishes, like the Gyro and meze platters, are equally amazing—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. I order from them at least four times a month, sometimes even more, and they never disappoint. The food is always delivered on time, piping hot, and exactly how I want it. Their attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly set them apart. Nasıl? The quality of their ingredients is exceptional, and everything is so clean and fresh. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick snack or a hearty, healthy meal, this place has it all. I genuinely look forward to every order. Fast, reliable, and absolutely delicious—this restaurant is a gem!“

“Love a good slice of pizza
Hate a bad slice of pizza
So when I say I love that this store opened up
That comes from my heart and my soul
Best pizza I've had since my grandfather died my grandfather was Sicilian
Shout out Joseph Luciano
Miss you Grandpa

But when it comes to a slice of that restaurant that's right quiet friendly environment they could not have done better if they tried
I wish this was a chain of these
So I can eat there pizza more often“

“We recently celebrated our 49th wedding anniversary, which was a good choice. We found the staff to be polite and friendly from when we entered until we left two hours later. The environment was pleasant and easy with a touch of class. The half-chicken "Picata" ordered was "mm-hmm good" served with an exquisitely savory sauce, prepared by Chef Jake, who is a rising star and a compliment to Troy's fine dining experience. My wife and I also appreciated and thought it "cool" that the owner "Vic" took the time to talk with us. Enjoyable evening and location!!!“

“Moved back to my hometown and was so happy the Zotto’s reopened a new place. The best pizza, and wings around. Brunswick needed this place!!! All the waitresses were amazing and welcoming too!!“

“I tried their seitan wings. Super yummy!“

“Wow the pizza is amazing! I ordered the gluten free pizza and it was incredible. Husband and son got the regular pizza and it was also delicious! Cool atmosphere and the outdoor area is neat!“

“They have 4 vegan pizzas and 2 vegan appetizers (mozzarella sticks and jalapeño poppers). I had the appetizers and both the vegan Florentine and vegan Fra Diavolo pizzas. Highly recommend to grab the pizza to the Albany Distillery Company and grab some drinks too!“

“Best Italian food in Albany!“

“Hard to believe NYC is famous for its pizza when a place like Roman exists upstate. I love the city, love a good number of slices I can get there, believe me, and I'm the pickiest eater you'll ever meet. But this place is a whole other world. Been heading here for about a decade, usually delivery, always on time and hot and ready. I'll die on the hill that the cheese pizza here is the best in the state, especially with crushed red pepper. The buffalo chicken pizza is EXTREMELY good, but best hot. The wings are hit or miss, yeah, but they're not Roman Wings!! Great service, great humor, fun place, you gotta check it out, dude.“
