7 Best Italian Restaurants near Brewster

“We love Rraci's. Our “go to place” for speacual events. Service and food are always consistent. We have noticed that the menu choices have become fewer(smaller menu) and potions have also gotten smaller. We were satisfied but worth the mention since so little has changed in the past 20 years.“

“If you're going to get a flat tire, I strongly recommend that you get one on NY-22, right in front of this deli, as I did. The staff are lovely (a man and his mother) and speak Italian to one another. They make their own mozzarella, soup, and at least some pastries, if not all. Cannoli are filled to order and excellent. Another pastry (crostata?), cut into squares with a shortbread-like crust, cherry jam and chocolate was even more spectacular and something that I *must* come back for. The man told me it was homemade. The sfogliatelle pastry was a little tough and stale, but the thick, ricotta-rich filling was delicious. To be fair, these things have a very short shelf life. I gave it a few minutes in the toaster oven when I finally made it home and the texture was far improved. The son patiently answered my questions [e.g. how to properly pronounce "sfogliatelle," how much the fresh mozzarella costs (about $11 / lb)] and the mother kindly warmed up some pasta e fagioli for me. Sandwiches seem to be the focus here -- the menu is vast! -- but I sorely needed the warm-you-from-the-inside-out comfort of soup at that moment. The rich broth full of red beans, potatoes, and carrots absolutely hit the spot. It's too bad that it took a flat tire to get me in this place. We've been driving by for years and have clearly been missing out all this time!“

“Aversanos holds a special place in my heart. The owners are great men who care about their food, but even more so, about their customers!The service is great, and don't even get me started about the food... the seafood ravioli is to die for!If you are looking for a fine place for a date, or nice, authentic Italian food, then look no further than Aversanos. They even have gluten free options. What are you waiting for? Get over there.“

“I can’t believe I’ve never eaten at their restaurant before tonight living my whole life in the area! After loving Limni for the time they were open, I heard that they were the same owners as Mezza Luna so we had to give it a try. The food was amazing! I got the veal saltimbocca which was delicious. The mesclun salad was great with a delicious homemade vinaigrette, and they had the same amazing affogatos that I fell in love with at Limni! Can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend their restaurant for a nice night out, and their takeout for a cozy night in.“

“These guys go above and beyond. I live in Phoenix az and they packaged my order so I could take it home on the plane and then when I ordered for my family for valentine's day they separated the portions to go to 2 different places for me. They are great and the chicken francese is just awesome. Thank you guys can't wait to get back there, you're my 1st stop for dinner. ❤️ ?“

“A hidden gem. Unlike other Italian restaurants in Brewster, they know how to make a tomato sauce that actually tastes like tomatoes! And is light on the salt, unlike the salt bombs at the most popular Italian restaurant nearby. The food is positively delicious. And their family meals are both delicious and a bargain. We had a last minute family get together, and ordered 5 family meals. It was a huge amount of food, and they had the entire order ready in 30 minutes. On a Saturday night!!!! We were certain that we would have ample leftovers, at least 1/3. But it was all devoured! Because everyone loved the food. It was greatFinally, the owners and the young girls that take the orders are so nice. A true delight.This is truly a hidden gem. Yum!!!!“

“Fantastic NY Pizza Shop with a wide variety of delicious, huge, original with tons of toppings. Family favorites are the chicken parm pizza, gramma pie, salad pie and the Sicilian also try the chicken rolls, delicious. The service is friendly and fast, it's the type of place where they know everyone by name. Truly a gem.“
