24 Best Italian Restaurants near Essex

“My family has been coming here for years. Both my girls worked here and we have always appreciated the level of consistency that Mimmo's food offers. Always fresh, hot and delicious entrees and salads. Most recently I have been sitting at the bar while I wait for my take out order and have had the lovely privilege of being waited on by Simone's partner. She is a fireball with the best customer service skills I have encountered in Vermont or anywhere! Everything she does is to make the customer feel attended to and she does it with the most energetic and positive effort! Mimmo's never disappoints!“

“Matt and I have been to Hoagies in Essex a few times as of late and have had the best experience. The servers are amazing, the quality of food is consistent and tasty and we always feel welcome. If you’re wanting quick, yummy eats look no further. Treat yourself to the house Italian dressing. It’s been my favorite since I was a little kid in the 90’s!“

“The food, wine, latte, and cannoli were fabulous! Lexi provided exceptional service — her menu suggestions and insights were spot on. We’ll definitely be back!“

“We have a friend that is seriously ill and we wanted a very special meal for he and his wife prepared and delivered to their home. The manager and staff arrived at work early to make it happen and would not accept a fee for delivery. They went beyond their duties and provided a marvelous meal for our friends. What beautiful hearts and souls they have. We thank you all so very much for your great meals and service.“

“Excellent Italian food! Staff is very friendly“

“The pizza is so good here. I can’t wait to try their other menu items.“

“Street parking, small and cozy restaurant and reservation recommended.
Our first time there and not impressed with the food. Service was very good, cocktail was rather small for the $17 charged and had a very strong cardamom taste. Pizza was ok. Crust was a little on the soft side (partly soggy). Looks like the Verace style but far from having the same taste and texture.“

“The wait staff were really on top of it when I went. Pretty much as soon as we scarfed down the last breadstick they had brought us another plate of them. They're good bread sticks too. Same as with drinks, I never went more than a whole minute without a drink refill

I got just a basic spaghetti Alfredo and my sister got a spaghetti with the 5 cheese marinara and meatballs. While mine was really good, hers was great.

Prices weren't terrible either“

“Neighborhood place. Good food, good service. This type of establishment is disappearing in America. Visit tomorrow.“

“Best Italian in Colchester area“

“Something about the meatballs in the spaghetti made me not eat them... couldnt tell you why but the wine selection is incredible!!! Please also get a desert, any dessert and also a seasonal appetizer if you would be so inclined. Very vibes tiny teeny dining space, I love it.“

“On a road trip from out of state, googled some options and was recommended Jrs from another restaurant that was reservations only tonight; so very happy that’s how it worked out! We called ahead to make sure they had openings and the girl I talked to was very friendly. Upon arrival though they mentioned they don’t take reservations they had a table for 5 ready for us. Coming from out of state with 3 kids of different ages there were a lot of questions about the menu and our waitress Lexi was patient and kind; speaking with them directly and making sure to answer all questions. Drinks were refilled without asking, extra napkins supplied, she kept an eye out and checked in regularly. The food was fantastic as well, but Lexi was superb!“

“Pizza crust was delicious as was the sauce. People were friendly. Restaurant was very clean, atmosphere was nuteral as it's mainly take out. We have gotten sandwiches, eggplant and Italian sub delivered, also delicious. We will definitely order from here again.“

“Absolutely delicious!!! From appetizer selection to entre. Every special occasion and family group eat outs here from now on.“

“Great pizza and friendly staff. The outdoor dinning is perfect. I think number one pizza in all of Vermont. 😊“

“New York Pizza Oven was a great choice while visiting Colchester/Burlington for the 2022 UVM graduation!“

“I stopped in and had a small Zack special pizza. The food was good. The building was a little echoy. Looks like they were going some remodeling . I would go again.“

“I had their pizza and garlic knots and the oh-so-tasty marinara a few years ago and I absolutely hope to visit again someday! would love like a gallon of that marinara!! so good!“

“I am from New Jersey.I remember they had a spot in Woodbridge mall and until recently I believed them to be the alternate to sbarro shopping mall pizza.I was wrongBack home, we had dozens of top notch pizzerias so I never tried them but up here in vermont I can honestly tell youThey make good pie.Easily one of the best New York style pies around.Take that to the bank.“

“Pizza is good, prices are nice compared to other places around. Someone said it is like the domino's of Burlington. That makes sense to me. I only tried cheese pizza and breadsticks. I like the marina dipping sauce they use. We got take-out so I can't rate much else. It serves for a good late night snack too. ?“

“Fun place great pizza! Great location“

“Amazing place, great food.“
