46 Best Italian Restaurants near New Britain

“This is the second time I’ve gotten takeout from here and I have to say it’s always a wonderful experience. The people are so nice and friendly snd they’re always so helpful. The first time I got the Delizia salad with the chicken on it and it was so delicious! And today I got something as simple as the classic chicken sandwich and Most pizza places give you chicken that’s rubbery and full of gristle but this chicken sandwich was unbelievable! They put a lot of chicken breast on it and it’s cooked perfectly it was nice and tender and had no gristle. The fries were nice and crisp and crunchy too. And the brioche roll that it came on was super delicious. This place is a great little find and awesome for a quick meal on the run. Their pizza I’m sure is great as well I haven’t tried that yet. Thanks Delizia for being the best pizza place ever! ?“

“Great food and superb service. Server (Victoria) was exceptional and made our wedding anniversary dinner special. Ended up staying until close and had beautiful conversation with Victoria and owner, wasn't rushed out at all. Ordered the Arancini, Valona Signature salad, Gnocchi Pomodoro Mozz, and lamp chops. 5 layer cake was incredible, tasty and light. Everything was delish! Have seen a few negative reviews but highly recommend you put those aside and give it a try. You won't be disappointed.“

“Food and service was excellent!! I had a hard time choosing what to order as everything sounded delicious. The Tuscan Salmon with mashed potatoes and winter vegetables was above my expectations ?? Beautiful place. Will be coming back for sure!“

“Everything was delicious from the bread to the dessert. The shrimp risotto was excellent. We ordered the meatball app which was served with grated parm and ricotta. Again, delicious. Highly recommend. Prices were reasonable especially for a byob.“

“Delicious food, great portions, and wonderful staff. Can't wait to go backWheelchair accessibility: Mom's birthday lunch. She is in wheelchair for out of house events. Access to buildings was great, and not all places have this conveniently accessible“

“I've gone to the giant next door plenty of times and never noticed this place until now. Very friendly service with a great atmosphere. I've only tried the cheesesteak, which was very good. I'm going back to try the pizza soon.“

“Our server Ella was great, she took initiative to bring champagne glasses with her when greeting our table and followed with an ice bucket for our bottle with out being asked. She was knowledgeable about the menu and followed up frequently throughout our meal. The courses arrived quickly for service at 7pm on a Friday night. The food good. Suggestions would be for crostini or crackers with the antipasta and tuna tartar.“

“FANTASTIC food, you truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything is delicious. Great service. Wonderful ambiance, very charming inside and a beautiful outdoor seating area. My absolute favorite restaurant. Can't recommend highly enough.“

“We went to dinner on a Thursday night, pre booked for my husband's birthday. My husband and I ordered Lamb Chops and Lobster Ravioli. Our friends ordered Steak and Chicken Parm. We did get appetizers, drinks, and dessert as well. Chef Lo didn't disappoint with the taste of the meat and seafood, cooked at right temperatures, not overly seasoned. Portions were good sizes. Keith, our server, was very attentive. The only disappointments were being seated in the lobby due to large parties and music entertainment being there and my girlfriend said the Chicken Parm and meatballs were average. We would recommend.“

“Augusto's remains one of the best restaurants in the area. I hadn't been in a few years, but the food is excellent, creatively prepared, and affordable. We had the specials, which were amazing ( lobster bisque—George Perrier's recipe, which I had years ago at Le Bec Fin-the duck, and homemade gnocchi). Delicious. Excellent coffee too ( too full to try dessert!). Very attentive, friendly service. We'll be back!“

“This pizza place is adorable, super clean and well decorated. The bathroom is super clean and everything matches which I thought was cute lol. The man working the cash register greeted several customers by name, including my Aunt who suggested the place. She said their gluten free pizza is one of the best around. Very pleased with this place. We fed 6 people for $60, great prices. Definitely will be back in the future.Kid-friendliness: Clean high chairsDietary restrictions: Gluten Free Pizza“

“Was pleasantly surprised at how good the sausage and steak combo sandwich was!Good serving size and owner was nice. Perfect location at Home Depot and they’re open late for us contractors putting in the extra hours.Solid sandwich from a small business owner! I’ll definitely keep them in my rotation!“

“This is the most carefully crafted pizza I think I’ve had in my life. We ordered the Philly Sicilian and 12 piece wings. The sauce carries throughout the surface area of the pizza and the cheese has so much flavor. The wing meat also falls off the bone, “

“It's not a typical strip mall restaurant. We decided last minute to go here and were pleasantly surprised. Arrived just after opening and initially felt under dressed, but after the owner greeted us, we quickly forgot our discomfort as we took in the nicely decorated room and tables. The menu has plenty of options, including a list of specials plus a few items he mentioned that weren't listed but may have been because it was the Friday after Valentine's Day. We opted for the Veal Parm. My husband got the Clams Casino appetizer, which he said was the best he's ever had. The salad with house dressing was packed with veggies along with the lettuce, and the house dressing was definitely not from a bottle. My barley soup was flavorful as was everything we had. The large piece of veal was sliced thin, which may have made it not as tender as it could have been, but I still enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the seasoned mixed veggies I chose instead of the pasta. The tiramisu is a cake version but very good. That and the chocolate cake do have a liquor flavor added to them, which is strong but not overpowering to me, but may be for some. We will definitely return to try something new.“

“What a phenomenal find! The bar (craft cocktails), building, restaurant is gorgeous. Old stone mixed with modern posh amenities. The food is TRUE & authentic Italian- my son closed his eyes at bread course (grilled Roman bread with ricotta & honey for A Scarpetta) and said, “mom this tastes like Italy!” We shared and tasted so many things, antipasto, starters, the salads were fresh, perfect vinaigrettes, the pastas & sauces all legit, homemade from scratch and perfectly Al dente. They dry-age their beef too which is exceptional. For dessert we had tiramisu budino & affogato- a perfect ending. We will be back and would recommend to friends. The staff was great too, just the right amount of attentiveness. It was a joyful & delicious experience at Tresini.“

“DELICIOUS food, ABUNDANT portions, and EXCELLENT service!! We went with a large group, which they accomodated with ease including splitting checks AND meals. Everyone enjoyed everything from the bread and olive oil, to the complimentary appetizer plate, to the FANTASTIC meals! My son got the ravioli, which was great, but there were only 5 or 6, not quite enough for a teenage boy! Luckily my SHARED eggplant parm (served to each of us separately) had MORE than enough spaghetti for him as well. It is BYOB, but they provided a wine opener and glasses, and truly the upside is you can save the restaurant mark-up and enjoy your favorite wine! It's definitely a place you might drive on past, nestled in a strip mall with the in and out market and pepperidge farm store, but appearaces are QUITE deceiving, and i think it's VERY safe to say try it... you'll like it!!“

“Old fashioned taste with old fashioned service. With a modern flavor in selection.The owner and his family go the extra mile to give you the best experience with a smile.The pizza quality is definitely there you can taste the fresh ingredients in the sauce and the taste of grande cheese is definitely on their pizza.The Owner And His family definitely are doing things right.Pizza so crispy so good.Try it ,Taste the difference.I stumbled by this place accidentally just driving through the Area...Parking: Plenty of parking on both sides of the establishment.Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly,no nonsense place, conservative and respectfulWheelchair accessibility: There is a sidewalk and the ability to come in with a wheelchair is easy. There are plenty of tables to be able to accommodate specific needs. The waitress and staff are very accommodating.“

“Born and raised in Philly and this is the best cheesesteak I've ever had. Absolute must try if you want a cheesesteak in Bucks County. I can only imagine how good the Seafood must be. Family owned small business. I will be recommending to everybody I know. 10/10“

“Dinner for three. We all agreed our selections were very good. I had the trout on polenta and a delicious beet salad. Two of us shared a raspberry and chocolate torte dessert. I usually bring something home from restaurants but it was so delicious I ate it all.“

“We dined at Bocelli's earlier this evening and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The homemade lobster ravioli surpassed all expectations; each bite was a delightful explosion of flavor. The staff exuded warmth and hospitality, making our evening truly memorable. From my grandparents to my husband and me, everyone felt genuinely cared for. The bruschetta was a perfect start to our meal, with fresh ingredients that left us craving more. The atmosphere was inviting, adding to the overall charm of the place. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Bocelli's for an unforgettable dining experience! Cannot wait to return.“

“This was our first time here. What a wonderful experience with the servers being so professional and kind. Even had someone come and say Thank You for dining with us. It was more than just a casual gesture. Felt very authentic. Food was wonderful! So so so fresh was the feeling and quality food! It’s always worth spending a bit more when the quality shows it. Didn’t take any photos of the food, but it was very colorful and well presented. We had a variety of appetizers: Bruschetta, Cesar Salad as well as Artichoke Hearts. My friends had a soup and a steak. They loved it. My wife and I shared a pasta primavera. So so full of fresh veggies! Didn’t feel like a sacrifice to be vegetarian at all. I also appreciated the bread with butter and cheese that was served. Highly recommend!“

“Spatola's pizza is one of our favorites in the area. We're a local repair shop, and everyone the shop absolutely loves it. It's always fresh, warm, and amazing quality. The drivers and any employees there are always super polite. We've gotten take out and delivery over 20 times and have never had a bad experience. They've never messed up our order either! We highly recommend them for all of your pizza wants.“

“Really kind staff and yummy breakfast! We've ordered delivery a few times for breakfast because I saw that they offer gluten-free options. Gluten free is not listed on the delivery app menus but I took a chance ordering pancakes and adding a note requesting gluten free. I figured if they sent regular pancakes my husband could just eat them. Not only was it not an issue, but they clearly labeled the food for us as well. I've ordered gluten free pancakes and Belgian waffles with no problem and it has been really nice as a treat once in a while, esp. since most places in our area don't offer gluten free versions. I thought they had gluten free muffins as well and ordered them, opting to just refund if they didn't have them. Instead of refunding the gluten free muffins or just sending regular muffins in their place, they sent a free order of gluten free chocolate chip pancakes with a note on the box. It was so nice of them, and completely unnecessary! Having to adjust to a gluten free diet is a big, inconvenient chore and often disappointing as you realize your options for treats have been seriously limited. Every meal kind of becomes a drag. It's really nice to have a local place that can accommodate this need! I realize that ordering these kinds of foods pretty much guarantees cross contamination because we can't expect kitchens to have totally separate areas and tools just for some orders--but it's a choice I make once in a while and I'm lucky not to be a person with severe/immediate reactions to exposure. I've never felt sick after eating breakfast from Valentino's and it's not an everyday treat but I'm super grateful to have it as an option!!!“

“First time at Sapori and it won't be the last! Wanted Italian for dinner and decided to try a new place. The restaurant is attractive inside with lots of pretty decorative lights. Our server, Mackenzie, was excellent, attentive and helpful. My son and I both ordered our favorite classic Italian dishes and the food was fresh and flavorful. The salads were delivered to the table in minutes, alongside some large, hot, buttery garlic knots. I would recommend Sapori to anyone who enjoys good Italian food!“

“This place is a hidden gem. It feels like a secret because you walk into an unassuming neighborhood pizza place. When you go through the double doors you enter into a quaint little restaurant. But best of all the food is outstanding. I had the salmon in dill sauce. Something I have never seen before which tells me they are creative with their menu. It was delicious. The calamari was better than any I have ever had. Not greasy or chewing perfect. It was better than some restaurants that charge 5 times more for it. I would highly recommend it.“

“My sister and I moved to the area a few months ago and have been struggling to find places to eat that we like but…..WE FOUND IT! Food is AMAZING!!! Everyone is so nice, delivery so fast and food is excellent!! Would it be weird if we eat here every day? ? Thank you so much Vinneys!!!“

“We picked up 3 takeout meals to eat while watching the Eagles game. We were hungry and they hit the spot. What we ate: spaghetti and meatballs, veal parmigiana, and eggplant parmigiana. All came with salads, salad dressing, and rolls. Each of these meals were large portions. If you want to share or have a second serving, that would not be a problem. Plenty of food to eat. We ordered and were given a time and all was ready on time. They were busy but were well staffed and friendly. We have ordered meals here over the years and have not been disappointed. They have fresh pizza and an array of sandwiches and Italian dishes. If you want dessert, there is a large selection in their bakery. Take credit cards. Plenty of parking. Very good Italian food. Highly recommend!“

“We ordered from or dined at Amalios three times now. Every time the food is better than the last. First visit was a to go order of slices - plain and grandmas. The plain was good but the Grandma's was exceptional Second visit was a dine in visit with my husband. We ordered the Grandma's pizza to share and we both loved it. Tonight we ordered take out and my husband ordered the Stromboli. He said it was a 10 out of 10. I ordered a plain cheesesteak. I am from Philadelphia (47 years old) and have had many cheesesteaks from all the usual haunts as well as local ones. This was the best cheesesteak I have ever had, hands down. The roll was super fresh and toasted. The meat to roll ratio was absolutely perfect. We are now a loyal Amalios customer. So happy they opened less than 2 miles from my front door. Run, don't walk to them for a great meal!“

“For all that remember Fantinis Pizza in North Wales....meet the original! Their signature swirl garlic pizza...red sauce...is our go to. Up from Tampa and this was one of my "MUSTS." Grabbed 3 pies to share with family and was as great as always! When Fantinis in North Wales closed....I thought paradise was lost....but many years later, we found LA Cucina Fanti and paradise was found! Been going there now for over 15 years!!!!! You won't be disappointed....family owned!!!!“

“Great spot for pizza in the area. It's clear they take great pride in the pizza they make, and it shows. As a word of advice, plan to pay in cash as they charge more for credit or debit and do not have online ordering turned on for this location, nor do they participate in slice.“

“Family wanted to try a new spanish-style restaurant while in the area and we picked this location! The inside is clean and organized, even if they are busy I think there is ample seating. It was ♿ accessible to the left of the front door. Don't let Google maps fool ya!The food was good. Good value. They have their own style which I think is great! The staff were very helpful and kind. I would recommend this for families as well.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access on the side of the building. No issues for wheelchairs.“

“Angelo's is one of the best old style family Coast Italian Restaurants. I really miss this style of dining now that I don't live in the Philly/NJ/NY area anymore. Made a point to visit when seeing some family and wasn't disappointed.“

“I grew up on their pizza. Haven't been in in years. Restaurant dinning room was very nice. Clean, spacious, and bright. The waitresses were attentive. I had a panini, which was a little disappointing. Should have gotten a pizza or wings, perhaps. The other customers' eating wings looked like they were enjoying them, and the wings looked a decent size. I've never been a fan of the pay-on-your-way-out style of remittance. It feels too impersonal and probably should be reserved for diners and sandwich stands. I'll go back and have a pizza next time. For old times sake.“

“Hidden in the back of the strip mall is a fantastic pizza shop. They sell pizza by the slice, perfect for a quick lunch trip, and the prices aren't expensive. The sauce has amazing flavor, and the cheese is melted perfectly. Though I didn't see any pepperoni, they were able to add some to a plain slice with no issues. I am definitely coming back!“

“I wanted to leave a cautionary review of a pizza I ordered last night. I'll preface this review by saying I've never, ever had a bad experience at Taormina's and I'm sure this was a fluke, but something to be aware of.I ordered a large buffalo chicken pizza last night and it tasted fine, but I felt there was waaay too much cheese on it. Some might consider this a plus, but the grease was substantial. On my second slice, I noticed that some of the chicken on the pizza had arteries still in the muscle, which made me question the quality of the chicken (perhaps it is repurposed from other dishes at the restaurant, or just overall low quality meat?). This made me lose my appetite for the evening, but this morning I gave the leftovers a second chance.On my first slice this morning, I bit into a large (about one inch long) piece of chicken bone still in the meat. This actually hurt a bit because I wasn't expecting any bone on my pizza. I lost my appetite for the second time and will be discarding the remaining half of the pizza.I have had many meals and pizzas here and I will likely order plain pizzas in the future, as they have always been very good. I will avoid any toppings from here on in, though. Would recommend the pasta dishes and sandwiches instead!“

“We had a phenomenal large family dinner for my son‘s birthday last night and it was remarkable! I absolutely love their meatball appetizer it is my absolute favorite! We have been to Angelo’s so many times, it definitely is one of our favorites.It is definitely a family oriented restaurant and is kid friendly for sure. Our server was more than accommodating last night, their staff is very friendly and always go over and beyond for their guest. Let’s not forget how delicious their numerous meals and amazing desserts are!!Can’t go wrong with a meal at Angelo’s Kitchen!“

“Just ordered a plain pizza which is very uncommon for me to do. I usually get them loaded with toppings but for some reason, I was in the mood for just a plain pizza. Let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious!! Not disappointed at all!! This is my new go to place for pizza. ???“

“The food here is always great! Every time we order the food is done on time and nothing is ever wrong! I would highly recommend this place! Plus they have some Indian dishes that are great too!! Definitely need to try this place if you haven’t!Vegetarian options: They have a lot of vegetarian options including some Indian cuisine as well as Italian vegetarian options!“

“1st time patron! The ladies at the counter were friendly, helpful & patient with me as I ordered.Fabulous chicken parm sub & yummy grilled chicken sub with roasted red peppers, garlic, etc., sides of jalapeño poppers & oooh!-The pizza fries were incredible! Huge sandwiches. Definitely be back to try more of their items! ?“

“I used to frequent Altomeo’s pizza in Wayne, PA a long time ago as it was near my office. When I first started going, I noticed lots of people ordering tomato pie. I never understood why anyone for opt for pizza WITHOUT cheese…until I tried it. Their tomato was amazing. My girlfriend’s family are from Italy and make their own sauce from fresh plum tomatoes. They loved it, too. Eventually, my office moved and when I went back to get a pizza, Altomeo’s was gone! I was devastated. I tried to find out if they moved to no avail. Fast forward to 2023 and I was determined to find out what happened. I stumbled across an article mentioning that Tony Roni’s is their new place. I stopped in and wasn’t disappointed. The crust of the new tomato pie seems thinner than I remember (but I could be wrong). This is addressed by getting a Sicilian pizza with extra plum tomato sauce and no cheese…PERFECT! I frequently order from here even though they are not near me. The staff is always friendly and their other pizzas are good, too, especially the BBQ chicken pizza. But, you HAVE to try the tomato pie. ?“

“Fast service, nice folks. Pizza was way too greasy this time. We used at least a dozen paper towels right away bc it was too messy. Their pizza tastes really good though. The tenders are also well made & flavorful. Overall, all the food we had was well seasoned & fresh.“

“My first time here was Super Bowl Sunday, we ordered a pepperoni pizza for pickup. It was ready within a reasonable amount of time given that day, and the people working there were very nice and friendly while I waited a bit after getting there. The pizza was excellent, I think I found our new go-to place.“

“We smelled the food from outside it smelled so good we went in. Wonderful service we were seated right away. No bread and olive oil or balsamic like I’m used to and tiny apps but the food was awesome! So so so good. The lasagna is to die for and I kept stealing some off my husbands plate. The chicken franchaise was legit just like where I’m originally from in Brooklyn and my husband in NJ. The pasta was handmade the food was fresh. Everything was seasoned so well and the host and staff servers waiter was so kind and lovely. I love that this place is byob. Would I come here again? In a heartbeat! Like I said I’m from Brooklyn and my husbands from Jersey and we’ve been all around Italy many times and this place was LEGIT! Just like a home cooked meal. Nothing tastes frozen everything tastes soo so good!“

“When we arrived at this restaurant we were seated promptly and were shown great attention by our waitress. The folks (presumably the owners) behind the counter could not have been friendlier. We had several veal dishes and one salmon entree. The brandy sauce was delicious and the red sauce on the veal parmigiana was satisfactory. Although the pasta was not homemade, it was cooked properly and paired well in the dishes we ordered. The prices were beyond reasonable. This restaurant is quite a value and is a nice stop for a quick Italian fix.“

“We stopped into Leo’s for the first time this past weekend for slices. We liked them so much we had them for dinner 3 nights later! Friendly staff, delicious food, fair prices. Highly recommend the white ricotta pizza and grilled chicken Greek salad! Also, don’t sleep on the garlic knots- they’re perfect.“

“As someone who was in the food service industry for 10 plus years, this place ran exceptionally well. From the moment I walked in to the time I left. Everyone was professional, kind... Seeing the manager running food, the busser/ server assistant always refreshing my beverage to cleaning the table at the right time. Our server Sukie said it was the best place, let me tell you it is! The food was amazing. This is my favorite Italian restaurant, hands down! I will be back time and time again.“
