50 Best Italian Restaurants near Jamaica

“HI MY STUDENTS FIRST TIME AT YOUR RESTAURANT AND THEY HAD AN AMAZING TIME. OUTSTANDING SERVICE AND AN AMAZING PIZZA FOR THEM.“

“I ordered sandwiches from Mr Benny on several occasions - for my own functions and also for my Church. The latest order was for a church function on 07/11/2026 and I have to say that every type of sandwich was a tremendous hit. Everyone enjoyed every last bite. Customer service was exceptional and Mr. Benny and his staff are all awesome. When you walk in, you feel at home.
Thank you Mr. Benny and staff for everything!“

“I have been coming here since the late 90's when I was a student @ JHS217. The food has always been fresh and well made to order! The remodel was much needed and the quality hasn't been sacrificed from what I have seen over the years.

I no longer live in the area, but was visiting on business recently and decided to grab a slice for nostalgia sake. Sadly, it was late in the day and they were preparing to close, so the selection wasn't as vast as mid-day would be. My Sicilian Margherita slice was still amazing and I will continue to patronize this neighborhood gem for years to come! A1 from day one.“

“La comida muy buena y el servicio“

“buenas noches quiero dar gracias a Jones pizza por haberme dado un trabajo y por confiar en mí como persona y de antemano quiero agradecer a la señora mambo la al señor Miguel a Orlando y a champ hablo que a lo mejor ellos no me recuerdan pero juntos comenzamos el sueño de la pizzería John's pizza les mando un saludo desde mi tierra México soy Ari Aristeo y que mi Dios los bendiga“

“The best price for great food, that arrives quickly without any issue. I highly recommend them, granted a world class pizza place is next door... but even Singa's pizza is not something I'd turn away. And given how much easier\\faster\\cheaper ever an issue it is to get their pizza vs Danny's, I recommend them even for pizza.“

“Quick delivery, well priced. My favorite slice is the chicken bacon ranch 🍕“

“I came with dietary restrictions and they gave me great recommendations on what to get when avoiding fish and meat. I got the ital stew with spinach rice which was sooo good. I didn’t get to order for the other side but I would love to come back and get fresh natural juices+ grape nut ice cream.“

“We had our wedding at Rialto and couldn’t imagine a perfect ceremony and reception.

Dominic and the Rialto team were incredible. Super attentive and went out of their way to make sure our day was as special as can be.

We have no idea how but they managed to make sure the food was always fresh and hot when served, even the branzino, which is not easy to do all at once for ~75 people. Seriously impressive.

They really outdid themselves and we will definitely come back to Rialto for dinner which now holds a special place in our hearts. ❤“

“I traveled all the way from Upper West Side because a friend suggested it, and it was absolutely worth it!!! I loved the atmosphere, the restaurant, the wine list, and the food! I highly recommend trying the fagioli all’uccelletto, and don’t miss their pastas, we had a phenomenal cacio e pepe, and the cotoletta alla bolognese was truly amazing. Food is so authentic and spontaneous!!! We shared a bottle of their Poderi Melini Chianti Classico, which was perfect with our food and was recommended to us by Jacopo, in his typical Tuscanian accent. I’ll definitely be back! Ridgewood has a great Italian spot. What a discovery!“

“We used to frequent the Astoria location which was always so great. The new Manhattan location is no different. Somewhat smaller, but just very cozy and very nice looking. Amazing food as always. The flavors and taste are just the best. No matter what you order you will not go wrong. The service is top notch and Rocco and his staff are just the best at what they do. Just go, you won't regret it.“

“One word DIABLO !!!🙏❤️ Frost Beer was ice cold !!!“

“This restaurant is incredible! Came here to celebrate my sister's birthday recently, and, in no way, were we disappointed. The ribeye steak is probably the best I've ever had, the pasta is made with love, the pizza is amazing, and the service and ambience is wonderful. Don't think twice about making the reservation! The owner and his chef (brother) have created something brilliant here 👏“

“So freaking good. Came here for the first time after watching the owners journey online. We got the mortadella sandwich and the Sicilian tuna—all divine. I’m gluten free and asked if they could put the tuna on a bed of greens and they did 10/10!! Would highly recommend. Also the staff was super helpful and accommodating.“

“best goddamn eggplant parm sandwich I’ve ever had they also carry canned DOP San Marzanos and jarred Calabrian chilis; if you know you know“

“Great atmosphere. The food is fresh and tastes delicious! The staff is attentive and friendly.“

“The ribeye was excellent, and the ragù pasta was rich and full of flavor. The Carbonara and Cacio e Pepe were both good, though a bit simple and could have used a touch more seasoning. The Prosecco sangria was delicious, and we loved the tiramisu and pistachio gelato. The highlight of the evening, however, was our server, Javier. He was attentive, friendly, and made the entire experience even better. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Today was our second time here and from start to end this place was outstanding, the drinks were so refreshing, the grill octopus as an appetizer was so tender and yummy, the entree and deserts, all very good !“

“Look on Yelp for an extensive review.“

“I love the wait staff and the owner was extremely attentive to the patrons. I will definitely be back“

“Absolutely adore coming here. The service is attentive but not overbearing. The food is top notch with great selections. It’s a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion, or just to treat yourself. The manager Pure is friendly, and Gian who has been our waiter the last two times is wonderful. Top notch place.“

“By far the best Italian in Astoria. Yes, it's very pricey (full on Manhattan prices) but it's a rare instance where you're paying for real quality.

Mushroom risotto with truffle was excellent, perfectly al dente, and not overpowering with the truffle. The ravioli were super delicate and definitely made fresh in house. Pricing at $32 and $38 is pretty nuts for a plate of pasta, but they were very good.

For appetizers, the calamari was clearly fresh, lightly breaded, and perfectly fried, and the meatballs were moist and tender.

Timing between the courses was great; enough time to digest and enjoy the meal with no rush.

Dessert - tiramisu and panna cotta - was fine but nothing special and overpriced at $14 a pop. I'd skip it next time.

All in all an excellent, albeit very expensive, meal and without a doubt the best Italian in Astoria.“

“Great Food and great service! Buffalo chicken slice is the go-to!“

“Great service and food. Great view of the bay. Parking in easy.“

“Everything is great. Coming here over 25 yes. One thing I noticed who's overall incharge he is no Tony. And never will be. Stained tablecloth oil bottle on table dirty and greasy. Dirty windows. Tony would never have put up with that. I also miss his cooking. It's the little things. But Tony would never put up with this. Everything had to be perfect.“

“i enjoyed the city feel inside this gem of a restaurant, the dining experience, was super friendly and very accommodating, I enjoyed a delicious salad followed with cacio e pepe, definitely coming back.“

“Love the food, the owners support the community and their staff is very friendly and welcoming“

“Really good place for special occasions, the service is excellent and the food it’s amazing, I have been twice and I am coming back because the food is fresh and delicious, everything you get there !“

“My first time here but have been following them for years. OMG, the real deal! I was in a rush so ordered two sandwiches and three pies for a pick-up, but saw that tire was stocked with authentic Italian products so want to come back and shop!“

“So delicious! Great people, great service! 😋🤤“

“Place is super clean, staff is friendly and it's easy to order but the food for some reason just isn't good. Food is surprisingly not as good as if the restaurant were stand-alone me. It almost tastes like packaged versions of the real thing because it all comes from the same kitchen. Idk. I'll keep looking for something I enjoy at wonder“

“Best food and hosts! Meal was amazing! Drinks were beautiful! Atmosphere was great!“

“We had a family party yesterday. We all can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Food was large portions and very delicious. Desserts incredible. Service was always there taking care of us.“

“Please delete this lunatic“

“This was the warm Italian hug I was wanting on our recent trip to NY. We were at the MOMI down the street, and had made reservations for dinner at Sac's after the museum. We had tired, hungry tummies, and were a good hour from our original reservation time. The good people over at Sac's accommodated my family immediately, and with pleasure! The atmosphere was welcoming, comfortable, inviting, and straight up authentic..this coming from a Sicilian girl with olive oil in her veins. My family ordered a variety of dishes, each one spectacular! 2 different pizza's, fried zucchini, sausage, and the BEST shrimp scampi I have ever eaten! The staff treated us like family, and were super attentive, anticipating our needs, and not missing a beat. At the end of our meal, Domenico Sacramone, one of the owners came by our table to chat, it was lovely and greatly appreciated! That's the extra touch of love, and attention someone who really cares about their business, and their customers puts out! It was genuine, and made the experience that much better! If we were locals, this would be our weekly dinner spot! Thank you to all over at Sac's Place for a wonderful meal, and a fantastic dining experience! We will most definitely be back“

“We couldn’t have had a more enjoyable time celebrating my mom’s 103rd birthday here. Florio, Fabio and the entire staff made this a most enjoyable and absolutely delicious event! Constant, noninvasive attention paid to ensure all of our 19 celebrants were happy.
Made it hard to leave!“

“The food really delicious the server ver pleasant And kind . Also net and good looking.“

“The pan seared roasted chicken is amazing!!! My family and I found this place a few weeks ago. It's a beautifully decorated, clean and fairly new establishment with a very polite staff. My children have had the ravioli, the penne and the chicken fingers and each loved their meals. It's a hidden gem that we are happy to have found :)“

“The food was amazing. The service superb! What more could you want??!! This was our first time here - and we definitely will be back - loved it!“

“fantastic. great feel, friendly owners and workers. thank you“

“My go to place for special occasions. Mike always makes us feel at home. Not only is the food fantastic, but the staff is helpful and kind. They even went out of their way to help my handicap mother get in and out of the car! Food is delicious and tons of variety when compared to the standard Italian restaurant. Great portions and even a decent amount of healthy options. Thank you to the staff for making my night even more special!“

“My wife and I really enjoyed the entire setting family style dinning. We both love eggplant very much the seasonings were not salty or spicy plenty of sauce stuffed with fresh ricotta cheese. All of what we could see were large entrees no fru fru at all. This is another local good place to dine in Floral Park.“

“Went there with family. Service was fast and they let us sit corner table which I asked for the kids. I liked the employees being nice and friendly. They keep the table clean, refilled our drinks. Food was amazing as always. Keep up with good work guys…“
