50 Best Italian Restaurants near Montclair

“I ordered the Pasta Station for a birthday party. I arrived 30 minutes earlier than I had requested the food and was expecting to wait a while. I parked in the To Go space and before I could finish dialing the # to let them know I was here, a young lady named Hailey came out to check on me. I let her know I was early. Five minutes later, she came out with my whole order! Everything was great! Thanks for making the evening a hit!“

“The food was delicious, service was outstanding. Will definitely be back!!!“

“I love the NY style pizza here and come in for a slice from time to time. In recent years the crust has gotten even better. The pasta with marinara sauce is a good deal too. Flavorful and good sized portion. Way better than take out from Vince's Spaghetti. Recently I was at San Biaggio and decided to try the hot pastrami sub. It was excellent! I had gotten a cold meat sub from this place several years ago and wasn't impressed with it. But the hot pastrami with mustard and pickles is wonderful. They are generous with the meat and it is very lean, good quality pastrami. Better than the quality you can get at The Hat these days in my opinion. I hope this place remains in business for a lot longer. It's a great local option for decent quality food. And the people working there are nice.“

“I am very picky with pizza, but this place definitely made my top 3 list. The kids all enjoyed it! The fries tasted like curly fries and were delicious! The cheese on the pizza was stretchy and the pizza sauce was delicious! I usually don't eat my pizza crust either but here i enjoyed it. The staff was all very nice and courteous even when our son dropped his drink under the table. The place itself is an old building which is beautiful and in a cute little part of town with many other shops. We will definitely be coming back!!!!“

“I enjoy family owned restaurants. I have been buying the spaghetti salad from the deli for decades. Recently I have been buying the meatball sandwich. It is perfect! Lots of big meatballs. The roll is hot and crispy. Plenty of sauce. Melted cheese. I make it a combo with coleslaw or macaroni salad and a beverage. On my last visit, I took home lentil soup, spaghetti salad, and NY style cheesecake. I like the casual diningroom. Plenty of parking too. Staff is experienced and efficient.“

“Awesome Sauce. Literally. The beat meat sauce I've ever had.“

“I am so happy to have a Claro in my neighborhood! I was so lucky at my last visit to get canolni freshly assembled! My sandwich was yummy enough, but something was off? The bread is not the same! Oh, please bring back the good stuff!!! PlEASE!!!“

“First time customer and if you want quality pizza this is the place. Sam was great and made us feel at home. Had the Shrimp Alfredo, BBQ Chicken, and Buffalo Chicken pizza as well as the Garlic Knots(ate some as you can see lol). Pizza was still fresh and tasted great by the time I got home! Support your local shop Dalia’s Pizza!“

“I LOVE this place. Everything is so yummy. The staff is so kind they really go above and beyond to make your experience really amazing even if they are very busy. Weekends are packed but the food quality is always amazing. I always recommend this place to people. If you try anything please try the mango habanero wings! They are the most perfect thing ever! The pineapple cider(if you drink) is so refreshing. I love this place so much!Parking: Plenty of parking right up front and easy to find.Kid-friendliness: My kids love the games they have. I can also sit my toddler by the end tables and not have to worry about them getting away from me or running off. The tables are spacious so it makes bringing all my kids stuff so easy.“

“This little shop is filled with Italian sandwiches, pastas, desserts, dishes, drinks, condiments, and little gifts.I would recommend getting a hot sandwich over a cold one because the bread is a little chewy when cold, but crunchy when it's warm. The roast beef sandwich is very good. There's nothing special about the chicken breast sandwich but it's good. The desserts are where it's at! I have not tried the pasta yet, but have heard it's very good.Parking: Parking is across the street or along the curb.“

“We got a pesto pasta and an alfredo pasta. Both were delicious! The bowls looked small, but the pasta was very dense in it, and it was definitely very filling and it wouldn't have felt good to eat more. Both sauces were delicious! My husband liked the alfredo best, but I liked both and couldn't pick a favorite. The prices were okay, at about $15 per pasta, but it seemed a bit ridiculous to have to pay $4ish more to add a little bit of meat! We chose not to pay for that.The only real negative was the complimentary focaccia bread. It was cold and had such a strong, odd taste. We only took a few bites. We decided to take it home and we'll try it out toasted or as garlic bread.“

“every time I've gone there I've never been unsatisfied great atmosphere Top notch service very pleasant experience“

“Great little Italian restaurant. Food was very good. Pasta was cooked well. They had a good robust sauce. The veggies were a nice balance to the meal. We stopped in after traveling and were delighted to find good authentic Italian food at an affordable price range. Portions were decent and food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. I would recommend this place- even my husband, who's dad is from Italy- said it was good.“

“Recently, I had the pleasure of dining at Uno Tre Otto, a gem tucked away in Claremont that's perfect for a special dining experience. The ambiance is cozy, ideal for dates or small gatherings, and the area is perfect for a leisurely stroll. The menu, though concise, offers a delightful array of dishes.We had a salad to start , a spicy Polenta and both of us had Pasta dishes as our mains .The attention to detail in preparation and taste were a delight.The Polenta was excellent as was the Bolognese Pasta.The Coctails are prepared in an space on tge 2nd floor and sent down via a trolley which was fascinating .Dining at Uno Tre Otto is an experience filled with culinary delights, set in a charming and intimate setting. Whether you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or just in search of a quality meal, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.“

“We love dalias! We literally order from this place probably six times a month if not more than that. We love the small pizzas. We love the big pizzas. We love the toppings. The crust is amazing. The potato wedges are huge. The portion you get is out of this world we never finish it, but we love them. They're crispy and perfect. And the salads are our favorite. We love antipasto salad. We requested the cheese and the mushrooms beyond the side and they do it every time. I always get extra pepperoncinis and extra of the house made Italian dressing because they make it from scratch and it's delicious. The spaghetti is amazing with the meat sauce. We will get the portion for two and everybody can have some and you just want more and more so good. They remember us every time we call they have our past orders and they will accommodate us because their service is so good here they appreciate their customers and you can tell. There is a little place you can sit down and eat inside, but it's more of just a grab and go take away place, but they have it decorated super cute inside and you can shop for a few oddities too.“

“Had a great dinner! Ordered online and picked it up at the exact time promised! Fast and friendly! Next time I will try dinning in!“

“The food is yummy and the owners are nice .“

“We ordered takeout. Food was ready on time, they even called us to make sure we were picking up. The pizza, wings, and garlic sticks were all good! This will be our place to go while we are in the area...or take a 20 minute drive to sit inside the restaurant. Busy, but friendly.“

“If you have not been here yet, you definitely need to. Every time I am in the area, I try to stop by.Everything I have tried, from the coffees, pastries, and meals, have been a 10/10!My go to for breakfast is the Linguisa Omelet with homemade breakfast potatoes....tasty and filling.The atmosphere here is great, friendly and welcoming staff, and a great place to meet for a business meeting or just an afternoon break.“

“Food and atmosphere is always great!“

“best wings so far, and we had the potatoes wedges they were good. and their Ranch is very creamy and good“

“We go here every Tuesday when our daughter has dance next door! Our favorite is the Chico! Add avocado it’s a must! We also get other stuff on the menu and it’s always sooo good! Price is reasonable, the pasta and knots are all so good as well. They have a sauce we use with the wings! Owner is so sweet and always kind and gives you suggestions. It’s also always busy so order ahead for sure! 10/10 every time.“

“We come here often but today I had to write a review. Justin was our server tonight and I have to say, that was the best service I have had in a long time anywhere. He even stirred our drinks before we got them so they were ready to drink. This kid is going somewhere. I will come back and ask for him next time.“

“I've been a Vince's customer all my 70 years. Not your typical Italian restaurant, just a spaghetti house, although the menu has been expanded recently to include lasagna. Always good, family friendly, just don't get hungry for spaghetti on Wednesday. To my knowledge they've never been open on Wednesday.“

“Our family decided to dine here at the last minute on a Friday evening. The wait wasn't too long, the food was delicious, and our waitress was amazing! Shout out to Katie for a great dining experience. She was very attentive and she engaged with our 5 year and he LOVED it! Thank you, Katie and team for a wonderful evening.“

“Disappointed in salmon pesto linguine. No pine nuts. Not nearly as good as in past. My 100 year old friend asked for small dish of gnocchi and we were told it was impossible. Both food and service have gone downhill“

“My oldest daughter and I was looking for a new place to eat. I found this place. We both really enjoyed it from beginning to end. They were very nice, very pleasant, very welcoming. The food was delicious. Everything was great! We would definitely come back here again!“

“Fantastic!! Had their tomahawk porkchop dressed in mushroom sauce and garnished with rosemary sprig. I paired it with a glass of reisling and accompanied side salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing.Overall the meal was satisfying and brought a lot of flavor to the pallette.Also had Tequila Mockingbird cocktail after made by iliana which was excellent for a nightcap. Highly recommend this farm to fork spot!!“

“Always a wonderful experience - the dishes are unique but not too far off from traditional. The zucca ravioli is amazing, lots of care goes into their recipes and you can taste it. Restaurant is clean and classy. Having our company Christmas party there next week - I'm sure it will be wonderful!“

“loved the ambiance. our waitress was very friendly. The food was delicious. i had mediterranean food humid and salad. my niece had egg plant and ate the entire plate. I tasted the meat sauce and it was so delish!! I can't wait to try the mosticcoli with meat sauce on my next visit. the sauce is amazing!!“

“Best appetizers in town! Food was amazing“

“I've been disappointed by so many pizza places, especially the smaller ones. I was amazed at how delicious this pizza was! We got a grease wheel which was basically a meat lovers and a specialty pizza with vegetables and meat as well and they were both amazing. I got two medium pizzas thinking they may not be enough for 6 people but we even had leftovers. I thought the price was kind of high until I went to Taco Bell and spent $30 for two people. That made a much better tasting meal seems very reasonable! If you're looking for pizza this is absolutely the place. This is my new favorite pizza place! I wish I had taken pictures of the pizza just to post, but next time.“

“I’ve been passing by this place for years and today I come to find out I regret it very much, this is probably one of the best Pizza ? places in the Inland Empire don’t believe me try it out yourself, you won’t regret it’s BOMB ? this DELICIOUS ? Pizza I will be coming back for very soon. I would post the pizza but once I took the first bite I couldn’t stop eating.Vegetarian options: Yes.Parking: Plenty of parking. Next to StarbucksWheelchair accessibility: Yes will be off the right when you’re entering parking lot.“

“Cool old house with a lot of history. My chicken dish was good. My friend had the pork medallions, which were very dry. They were having a private party but were able to seat us immediately. They close early. We got there about 630 and by 830 they were shoeing us out.“

“I've never been to a deli in NY, so I can't tell you if it's authentic, but I can say that the food is great, and the staff are always super friendly and helpful. I especially recommend the French Dip and the Strawberry Mousse Cake. A-maz-ing!“

“Great food at an higher than required price. I'm not opposed to 4 star pricing at an elegant locale, however, a prime rib sandwich, plate of pasta, bread and 2 ice teas (no liquor) for LUNCH - should not be $100 with tip. They need to align their portions and lunch pricing with Brios, YardHouse etc. The crowd was very light for this reason. Too bad, because everything is delicious.“

“wings are fantastic and the Supreme pizza is bomb“

“Hey guys i forget say, we never no waiting for long time, we when and get in, seat and our server was there ready for all, I order, calamari, (entrées) garlic bread, salad, soup, I order salmon was perfect size with vegetables, my favorite eat a soup, my husband order shrimp pasta, Mouhamed S, was great and give us good attention.. Thank You“

“This is our favorite local pizza place. Been coming to the Upland location for 16 years. Before that my husband went to one in Rancho. Family owned and operated. Pizza, salad, hot wings, pasta, it’s all good.“

“I recently moved to the area with my elderly immigrant mother. This establishment is a walkable distance from our home, so she entered on her own to order food one day when I was at work. The pizza was absolutely outstanding in both price and taste (Nonno's Special, Large) but I also want to highlight the service. My mother said the workers were among the kindest she has ever met. She often encounters frustration and rudeness because she has bad hearing and limited English abilities. I am deeply grateful for the workers at Nonno's who treated her with compassion and patience, as well as recommended a delicious pizza. Needless to say, we will be back. Thank you!“

“We decided to shake things up this Christmas by ordering dinner from Palermo, and boy, are we glad we did! We went for the Prime Rib and Ham single dinners, and let me tell you, the portions were massive! The Prime Rib was perfectly cooked, and the mashed potatoes and green beans were cooked to perfection--absolutely delicious.As for the ham, it was succulent and not dry at all. The sides complemented it beautifully. Now, let's talk dessert. The German Chocolate Cake and Red Velvet were a delightful way to end the meal--moist and flavorful.Overall, Palermo delivered a Christmas dinner that was not only filling but also incredibly tasty. We're already counting down the days to order our New Year's dinner.“

“wings are fantastic and the Supreme pizza is bomb“

“I've been going here for a few years. My pizzas always have large helpings of toppings. The sausage pieces are larger and seem fresher than than the small ones that you get at some of the chain shops. The vegetables are good also. Staff is friendly.“

“They have a gluten-free crust with body and bite...not just a thin crisp "cracker." Try it as their Fresh Green Pie and add roasted garlic and roasted mushrooms!“

“the owners were so sweet and welcoming! and the food was so good! friendly environment.“

“Everything was fabulous atmosphere, service food was amazing great drinks“

“We were in the mood for Italian food and decided to try Allegro in La Verne for first time. It was by far the best Italian food we have had. The restaurant is beautiful, spacious, nicely decorated and clean. The service was excellent, Nicky was great! There is plenty of free parking. The food was outstanding. From the bruschetta, to the meatball trio, to the pastas and desserts…amazing!“

“The food is tasty, delicious, good portions and not too expensive. Italian Creme Vanilla Soda in special glass is yummy. The bread is crusty and hot, the minestrone is one of the best around with lots of veggies. The mizithra cheese and browned butter of the Potpourri dinner, is my favorite. My hubby loves their lasagna. The spumoni ice cream is such a perfect, end of meal treat. My only wish is that they had more pasta shape selections. Spaghetti noodles aren't my fave. I prefer capellini, bow tie or rotini shapes and I REALLY wish they had a whole wheat option.“
