Italian Restaurants near South Salem

“I have dined here a few times now and will keep coming back. 5 stars always. Outstanding service and delicious food and desserts. I have had pasta, filet mignon , chicken, pork chop while others have enjoyed seafood and eggplant parmigiana. Really pretty place in an old colonial white house. You will not be disappointed so make this your next restaurant to try. Very classy and in the winter they have the fireplace going.“

“Visited One Twenty Three Restaurant after a tennis match. The exceptional waiter made our experience memorable. Indulged in delightful chocolate martinis and savored a delicious filet mignon. Special mention to the accommodating staff for promptly fulfilling my daughter's request for a second serving of pasta.“

“This place warms my heart with joy. Although, they were running out of the cheese u sprinkle on top. Kinda disappointed. Guy did not have a friendly voice. Overall very scary vibes since no one was inside. I recommend if u are dying for pizza!“

“Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing atmosphere. A foodie lovers paradise. Thank you to all for a wonderful evening. ~ Denise @ladybug_living“

“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.“

“Located conveniently at the hotel I stayed at, I visited this restaurant the day after Mother's Day. Opted for the Halibut special and was delighted with its crispy top. The mocktail I had was also excellent. Recommended for a satisfying meal with great drinks.“

“This has been and still is a fantastic meal. Martinis are served with the shaker - and there’s another 1/2 a glass in there. The fish is superb, the pastas a simple and consistent, the service with is with a smile. I always look forward to dinner at the blue dolphin.“

“I placed an order for lunch penne vodka and it came with a salad and it was the perfect portion . It was hands down one of the best penne vodkas I have ever had. The owner is a nice man who greets you and give you your food. Can’t wait to order again !!!“

“Great sandwiches and chicken cutlets“

“Great pizza and friendly service“

“Great food and even better people! I placed an order after hours late on a Sunday night through Uber Eats. They called to tell me it was a mistake and they stopped delivering already, but when I explained that it was for my kids and we didn't have other options because we were heading home from the airport, they graciously agreed to make the food and deliver it to us! Thanks again!“

“Gisellas has been our favorite go to Italian restaurant in DANBURY since it opened. Food is always delicious and consistent and the wait staff couldn’t be more accommodating. Unfortunately last night we had a different experience the moment we walked in the door. Hostess was very unfriendly and dismissive, no eye contact and acted like she was doing us a favor seating us! Thankfully, like always, the rest of our dining experience was amazing!“

“Just left a crazy Thursday night at IL Forno. What a fun and enjoyable evening we had. We walked in with no reservations and the manager snuck us right in and we even got to the listen to an amazing singer. We have been here a few times, this was by far the most fun we had. Everyone was laughing. The staff which seems to be plenty was having a good time. The manager and Owners kept walking around and making sure all was good and everyone was happy. Thank you for restoring our fun Thursday evening with no COVID fears.“

“Wonderful service and atmosphere!“

“Always great food, never disappointed. Delivery is quick and friendly. Everyone who works there is so sweet.“

“Oh dubz r&b takes a more upscale approach to classic Italian fare... I felt like it was sunday dinner at Ma's n I shld dress the part but that she was just happy to have me at the table....The food is very good...flavors were right there in the wheel house.The bruschetta was a hit w/ the marinated tomatoes, I could come back n eat trays of that n call it a cugggg maron!Chicken cutlet was done right, the breast pounded thin before breading then fried golden brown...There sauce like a Sunday gravy, rich n smooth n hearty had the good quality olive oil in itHad the arancini had a bit more body rather than bring as one note mushy as well as some things company had this would have been 5 stars“

“The best pizza in Carmel, Mahopac and Brewster. We have lived here for 18 years and tried them all. The best dough, the best sauce, the best cheese, and the best service. Simply great pizza. His garlic knots r unreal. Mike the owner loves making pizza! Go there and find out why! Paul, 3“

“I generally like the food, however, I tried the chicken parmesan and was disappointed. It was over done, dry, not much sauce or cheese. Maybe just a bad night. Generally it is pretty good......“

“From the beginning Lisa was very helpful and listened to what we wanted to do. Roberto was as well. Recently had a surprise party here for my Mom. The delicious food and friendly helpful staff was excellent! Our guests are still talking about it!! We will be back!“

“We had our daughter’s confirmation at Lucia’s at the end of April. I was very pleased with the attentiveness as we planned the party and decided on final touches. During the party the food and service were above par. The staff was friendly and attentive and the food was delicious! I highly recommend celebrating your next event at Lucia’s.“

“its a wonderful place love the food“

“This is the definition of a hole in the wall pizza shop that truly delivers on quality. There are a few spots to sit and eat but we were on the run so we took it to go. Here’s how it went. Garlic knots had a lot of flavor in them. I appreciate that they give it way more than usual dob of butter and garlic. There are so many herbs in the oil that I devoured all of them instantly. The pasta fagioli was again super flavorful and freshly made. The lasagna was another fresh flavor bomb on a plate. They had my favorite type of pepperoni for the pizza, a bit of spice. The dough wasn’t thick and just the right amount to ensure the topping didn’t go for a ride without taking away from the flavor. Plus the bacon was NOT that bacon flavored flavored but junk. It was the real deal. This was definitely an awesome meal. You definitely need to add this to your takeout list!!!“

“Excellent service and amazing food“

“The restaurant has an exciting vibe. The menu doesn't have a large selection of Mel's but the ones to pick from are delicious. The spaghetti chess's wheel pasta was delicious. Other diners had the halibut special with sautéed spinach it it was delicious nice light and flavorful. The filet mignon with rigatoni had a nice sauce as well as the pappardale pasta and beef short ribs.“

“Amazing food, and service. Chef Fortunato makes such amazing dishes I can’t even fathom how delicious those dishes were. Zuppa de Pesce was so delicious, chicken francese so good and the chicken practically melted in my mouth. Everything overall was cooked to perfection. Lastly Rigo was amazing in serving us and making sure we had the most best first experience possible. Will be coming here a lot more!!“

“Best pizza in the area!!!“

“Wonderful service. Great menu. Delicious food“

“The next stop on my CertaPro Painters Pizza challenge was Amores in Katonah. Lots of options in the display case. I went with the meat lovers and the caprese. Cookies JUST came out of the oven and the place smelled amazing. Had to grab me one of those. Staff was friendly, a good experience and I’d go back.“

“Very attentive, friendly knowledgeable staff. Second visit and our server welcomed us back. The drinks and food are excellent and prepared to order. The specials are always a great option. Your never rushed . The atmosphere is upscale & local, a great place all around.“

“Our entire crew eats here every day. They have great food, great selection, daily specials, and friendly staff.“

“Love this place. Best calzone ever.“

“Really enjoyed our first time there. Can’t wait to come back and try more food!!!“

“Everything was great, but I would recommend the place knock down the smell of their floor cleaner. I found it overwhelming throughout the place. Some people like me are sensitive to chemical scents and it conflicts with the aroma of the food and drink.“

“It has been awhile (too long) since we’ve eaten at Portofino’s, just busy. It was very nice to be recognized and they were genuinly glad to see us “back”! Our dinner was delicious! I had the sea bass over risotto. The bass was cooked to perfection! And their service was excellent as always! Thank you for a wonderful evening! We highly recommend Portofino’s and we will definitely be back soon!“

“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. ❤️ ?“

“Salmon lunch was delicious! Seafood enthusiast here and I travel all over Fairfield County and Litchfield County trying highly acclaimed restaurants bars and cafes. This was delectable salmon and yes you can ask for sauce on the side so it is not spicy! So yummy and the ambience is so nice. Oh and the to go orders give you fresh bread with it! Extra lovely above and beyond touch of class there!!!!“

“My husband and I are both Italian and we completely loved everything from walking in the door to leaving!! The food was beyond perfect and our servers were extremely personable and attentive. The overall dining experience was amazing and the ambiance is great! I am an “artichoke aficionado” and the Carcioffi Fritti appetizer was perfect. The Pappardelle Bolognese was excellent and the Vitelli Funghi was so good (I got it with Chicken instead). Their sea salt caramel gelato was the best we have ever had. We will definitely add this to our fine dining list!“

“Some people say that this is the best pizza in Connecticut. Based on my own experiences here, I would not disagree. Each time I have ordered a pizza here, it comes out flawless and they have a wonderful gluten-free crust, which is a rare find.Dietary restrictions: This place has the best gluten-free crust I have ever had on a pizza.“

“fantastic pizza. We had the Armstrong“

“Service was great! I forgot my purse at the restaurant and I leave 3hs away from the restaurant! The manager Veronica was extremely patient with me and helpful, shipping my purse to me! Their kindness and care was so great! I’m very thankful!“

“Great Place where I get my Chicken Wings. Owners will go out of their way if you want something customized. I am able to get custom orders here like Sautéed Vegetables and Oil, Plain Wings, Sausage and Grilled Chicken which I greatly appreciate.Service is quick and the owners (two brothers) remember and respect their loyal customers.Thank You....“

“Came here for Valentine’s Day! It was our first time here and so impressed! The food was outrageous and staff was beyond friendly! It was such a nice atmosphere and we will be back!“

“Great family owned restaurant.I'm a veal Parm kind of guy, last night i had the veal & peppers, oh man was it good. it was perfect for a veal lover like me. My beautiful wife had baked ravioli and that was just fabulous as well.Ohhhh.... and then we had this really yummy ice cream with cherries and nuts, covered in a chocolate shell. and a cappuccino... of course.Thank you all so much for a wonderful dinner.Ed & Toni Mcquillan“

“All food was absolutely delicious, & cooked exactly the way we wanted it! I had Grilled Chicken with Sautéed Garlic & Oil, my Son had Penne Vodka with Chicken & we've had their Pizza numerous times. Very flavorful, presented so nicely. All staff very pleasant & accommodating. Being very Italian, I'm very fussy about eating sauce, but at Prato, you have no worries! Delicious!“

“This past weekend, I ventured into Terra, nestled within the chic Hotel Zero Degrees in Danbury, Connecticut ?✨. This gem of a hotel houses an exceptional, upscale restaurant that boasts an extensive menu that will satisfy any food lover’s palate ?️.Our appetizers set the bar pretty high. First up was the crispy buffalo cauliflower, adorned with micro celery and a decadent gorgonzola sour cream ?️?. The cauliflower struck the perfect balance - crispy without being overly fried, bursting with flavors that scored a delicious 9/10 on my scale. Next, we savored the gnocchi al forno, a heavenly blend of porcini mushroom cream, nduja (pork), and lemon breadcrumbs ??. The mushrooms effortlessly won my heart, earning an easy 10/10.For our mains, we explored the hidden fjord salmon, accompanied by heirloom beans, Brussels sprouts, and a rich porcini and tomato sugo ??. While the sauce had a slightly off note, the salmon itself was impeccably cooked, meriting a 7/10. The 12 oz. C.A.B. strip steak, served with duck fat potatoes, mixed mushrooms, and sherry vinegar, was a carnivore’s delight, perfectly medium-rare with a sauce that was nothing short of amazing ??. And let’s not forget the special - fish tacos that were so delightful, I believe they deserve a permanent spot on the menu ?? 9/10.Dessert was a sweet finale with their strawberry shortcake in a cup and a luxurious chocolate cake with pistachio ice cream ???. Both desserts were a testament to indulgence, effortlessly meriting a 9/10 with their perfect pairings and depth of flavor.For those with a penchant for espresso martinis, Terra’s rendition, where the coffee taste is subtly masked, is an absolute must-try ☕?. Beyond the exquisite food, Terra’s vibrant ambiance and extensive drink selection make it a must-visit spot ??.Overall Scores:Food: 9/10 ?0 ?Ambiance: 8/10 ?Terra isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience worth indulging in. Whether you’re a foodie or just in search of a great spot to dine, Terra promises an unforgettable experience ✨“

“Food was very good the staff most were attentive“

“Food and services are great. In my last order, I just received the incorrect salad dressing. It was still delicious, I just used my own dressing I have at home. If I didn't live on the opposite side of town, I would have gone back to get the correct dressing. Next time, I will double-check before leaving. Regardless, I still gave 5's because that's how great the food and services are. I've never had anything that I didn't like from here, and this is the first time I've received something incorrect. No big deal, I was still satisfied with everything!!!!!!!“

“We go there multiple times per week. Eggplant parm, chicken francese, shrimp scampi. All amazing.“

“My husband and son had an amazing early dinner there on Friday and were truly thrilled with every single thing.“

“Very elegant. Lovely and friendly atmosphere! Everything was absolutely delicious!! Thank you for a lovely experience!“
