17 Best Italian Restaurants in Middletown

“Sal worked with us for my grandsons baptism party. The roast beef was tender and flavorful. Lemon chicken was amazing. Roasted vegetables with hot peppers, WOW! Roasted potatoes, fantastic! Portions are more than expected. Sal is wonderful to work with and you will not be disappointed with the food“

“The prices for the food are great and the garlic knots are to die for. The dining room is very noisy but I can get past it, they're busy and popular so to be expected. I can't stop thinking about the garlic knots. I got the burrata salad with chicken and it was all incredible. The food also came out super quick given how packed it was there on a Saturday night.“

“My husband and I went to Fiore II on the way home from a trip. It was a great find. Awesome service by Jimmy and another young man. Lovely atmosphere, but most importantly the food was amazing. So many choices. We will be back and are considering catering for holiday parties this year. Thank you.“

“First valentines with my finance and boy I have to tell you this man knows his way to my heart. We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. What an amazing place. The food was excellent, fresh and full of taste. This will be my restaurant to visit when craving a great pasta meal.“

“I can believe we didn’t try this amazing restaurant until tonight. I can’t say enough about the excellent service and attention paid to our party. Top notch recommendations made for the best tasting meal I have had in a long time. We will enjoy this fantastic place many times in the future as our staple for high quality and superb food. Thank you for the exceptional evening and we look forward to joining you again in the very near future!“

“I usually love their pizza but I would recommend going there in person for it or double checking it lately. Ordering online doesn't work since its hard to customize pizzas and ots a 10 minute longer wait minimum. We got 2 pizzas for pick up ordered over the phone. 1st the girl was handling more than one phone at a time so not really knowing if we had her full attention. 2nd we ordered the oozy egg no proscute with an extra egg instead. there was no proscute but also no extra egg and the eggs were on only half the pizza. my hubby asked for a side of red pepper flakes they gave him .5oz, kind of stingy. the 2 pizzas came to $38+ and at that price they could at least pay attention and get the order right. Even if they might have been busy, at least do a quality check or read the order back to the customer so it is right.“

“Highly recommend! Came in to grab some slices and they were so yummy. Jay was incredibly kind to us and helpful to accommodate some special food needs we had. The buffalo chicken slice had chunks of blue cheese and was so flavorful. All 3 slices we got were delicious. Dying to try their Big Mac slices. The closest I’ve seen to nyc in terms of pizza by the slice. Slices were big and so yummy. Thanks so much!!! We will definitely be back!“

“Greeted so pleasantly the second we walked in. Seated right away. Delicious garlic knots! Amazing service from start to finish. We got a salad and a wrap, and it was just what we were craving! Finished up with some tea/coffee and cheesecake. Overall really wonderful experience, will definitely be returning!“

“My husband and I left worship service rather late on the day we visited. We intended to go to a buffet, but since we left so late, I looked around and decided on The Red Fox. Red is my favorite color, and I love Italian food, so we went. I loved the whole place, but what I noticed was there are no prices on the menu. I mentioned that to my husband and we decided to stay anyway. I gave the service four stars because the waiter became a little impatient with my husband because he took a long time to put in his drink order, so we just stuck with the water we had. The food was excellent, the macaroni and cheese was too hot, and I had to wait a long time for it to cool down, but it was worth the wait. We decided that if we were to visit again, it would be a year or so from now, this place is too special to visit more often than that, IMO.“

“i usually am here on thursdays for their late night happy hour and let me tell you it’s a good one! strong drinks and amazing food for the price!! the quality is a 10/10 and i like the bartender she is so attentive and makes you feel at home.“

“Great food! Great service. Place was empty. I went here with family after a burial. It was spacious and accommodating, perfect for the intimate moment. I ordered potatoes skins.. (sorry no pic I ate em before I could snap one ) penne a la vodka was delicious. Great place to eat!“

“I stopped in on a whim and ordered the clam strips with steak fries, coleslaw, and a bottle of coke. Service was friendly and fast. You have to order at the counter then you can sit down if you want to dine in. The table I sat at was a bit sticky in one spot.Food tasted good especially with the oil. It didn't taste like it was old oil. My clam strips were hot and not rubbery at all so they knew how to appropriately cook them. I received plenty of napkins and ketchup for my fries and didn't need to ask for them.“

“I don't know why I have never tried Amicis before yesterday, but I will definitely be going back! It was nice and quiet, the atmosphere was calming and our server Peter was amazing. He makes you feel like family. He addressed us by name the whole time and was just a pleasure overall. The food was very good, also. I absolutely recommend them!“

“My family and I have been going here for years now since about 2016. Service is always very prompt and friendly. They are conscious of nut allergies and make me feel very comfortable dining there. Breakfast places can be difficult for me with nuts and peanut butter. But I love it here and they make me feel safe to eat! Atmosphere is very retro diner which is how most diners appear. I always get hash browns and pancakes and the quality is very consistent. Whether we come in the morning, middle of the day or the evening I have always had the same experience. I even brought my parents here who love frequenting unique diners across the country and they loved it.“

“The pizza was delicious and the staff was super helpful. We had 20ish people for a 4yr olds birthday party. The restaurant is a bit out dated inside and it was very hot but you could tell people mostly go for takeout and not eating in. Still was a great experience.“

“This is a restaurant you have to try! Food is authentic, delicious and made with passion by Michelle and staff who are most friendly and engaging. Rustic Z is a hidden gem that begs to be discovered! Check them out, you won’t be disappointed! We’re visiting from Florida and I wish we had a place like this down there! We had the eggplant rolatini, meatballs and sauce over penne and garlic knots! The sauce is the real deal! That’s coming from an Italian wannabe Irishman whose Italian wife makes great sauce, so I’ve been well taught!“

“After visiting FunIn I take my kids and their friends here. They love it. If you go on a Saturday night, you can hear the live band in the bar. I enjoy myself while my kids enjoy the food & their friends.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free chicken salad and sweet potato fries are quite good. No reactions.“
