50 Best Italian Restaurants near Rye Brook

“My better half and I ate at Villa rustica again recently. Our experience was as expected as usual the food was outstanding. The service was very good and the overall experience satisfying. The dish I had was fillet off, so DiMartino. If my memory serves me correct. The soul was egg, battered, as in franchise including the lemon sauce and it was covered with olives, tomatoes, capers, and peppers. It was absolutely delicious. I certainly would recommend the dish for those who liked it here too Lenten obligations. My better half had the stuff so with crab meat, shrimp, etc., she always tells me how wonderful it is and there is always enough for her to makeit last more evening. The only thing I would improve at this wonderful establishment is the lighting. It's very bright and the furniture could probably use an upgrade. But who cares about that when the food is always off the charts? Delicious. Highly recommended.“

“I usually don’t write reviews but I have to say Nadine at Fortina was the sweetest, most helpful server we’ve had!! She was attentive, proactive, and timely with service. Thank you for the wonderful experience and we’ll most certainly be back soon :)!“

“My husband and I went to burrata for dinner today. It was a Saturday so we did have to wait around 50 minutes, so I would suggest making a reservation online if possible. We grabbed a drink at the bar next door while we waited. I really liked a the ambiance of the place- modern yet homey feel. Service was excellent, food came in a timely manner. We ordered the Araninci which was delicious, the burrata - yum. For mains we ordered the pappardelle which was really good, and the mushroom jalapeño pizza which we also enjoyed. For dessert we had the tiramisu which from a distance I thought looked like a store bought tiramisu because they wrap it in one of those plastic pieces to keep it together, but once the waiter opened it up all of the cream at the top fell to the sides like lava! It was really good- coming from someone who is very picky about tiramisu! Drinks- I had an espresso martini (no baileys) which was also good Definitely will be coming back here- with a reservation next time!“

“The food was excellent and the Maitre'd was an expert at what he does. My concern was that I am vegan and when I asked the waiter if the risotto had butter, he said no, it would be okay. Well it not only had butter but it also had cheese. I also saw a waiter eating from a plate that had leftover food from a patron.“

“Torcello is a hidden gem. Run, don't walk to this lovely Italian restaurant which serves up a wonderful array of elevated Italian dishes, and makes you feel like you're VIPs as you dine. Food and drinks were all excellent. Easy parking too. Can't wait to return for another meal. Highly recommended.“

“We held a private event for about 25 people last weekend in the upstairs space at Two25 and I could not have been more pleased! Leading up to our event, Andrea was very helpful and responsive, and the rest of the staff was just as incredible day-of. They were attentive to us and our guests (adults and children alike), regularly checking in to make sure everything was going well and everyone had what they needed. The restaurant is beautiful and the food was fantastic. It was the perfect place for our event, and we'll absolutely be back next time we're in the area!“

“Augustine has become my favorite restaurant in the Mamaroneck area. The fresh pasta with seasonal preparations are always divine and not your classic Italian dishes (e.g. gnocci with the lamb neck meat this spring, and wild boar in the winter), the wine on point, and the service warm and authentic. The atmosphere is elevated bistro, so it works for date night or dinner with friends but the food is significantly better than any other local restaurant. The chef didn't earn a Michelin bib for nothing.“

“The most delicious pizza anywhere!!! Amazing cocktails, appetizers, and scrumptious vegetable sides! The eggplant rollatini are the best I’ve ever had. The owner is so warm and welcoming and the staff is great. Can’t recommend highly enough!“

“Impeccable service to food. Taken care of as if you were in a high end place in manhattan. Lenny’s does there best for the customer to bring good food and service in a welcoming cozy atmosphere that makes you want to come back regularly. The owner walks the restaurant engaging with tables and making sure all is of standard as well as the staff especially Sean!“

“Nonna Carola may now become my go to Italian Restaurant in all of Westchester. Great food, friendly hard working staff, timely service. Restaurant Manager Danny greeted us with a smile when we entered, came over twice during our meal to make sure all was well and I witnessed him bussing tables and pouring water throughout the restaurant. Needless to say he's a credit to the restaurant's professionalism. Bar was hopping the entire night so noise level is a bit on the high side and parking can be a challenge on a weekend night but in spite of these minor drawbacks, the restaurant is well worth the trip.“

“I went here for lunch on a week day with a friend. The staff immediately helped us with the door because I'm in a wheelchair. The place was pretty empty except for a group of old men in their seventies and eighties. I ordered the veal meatballs and the fig and goat cheese flatbread which was exquisite. They have a fantastic drink menu and their service is impeccable!“

“Wonderful Family owned ristorante. Menu is exquisite with choices for all tastes and palettes. Sizable portions and attentive staff leave you with a satiating experience. I further recommend the desserts and Lemon Basil Martini! :)“

“I don't leave reviews too often, but AJ's deserves it. Excellent burgers, excellent sides and they have, by far, the coldest beer in New Rochelle. The owner is super friendly and welcoming. 5/5 stars. Come here, you won't regret it.“

“This small neighborhood restaurant just became my favorite after my first meal there. At the window to the kitchen you can see the chef preparing the food with so much attention. Everything was very delicious. Best octopus I've had and the white tiramisu is a must! Hidden gem that deserves a michelin star!“

“I came here For restaurant week with my family. The price per person was only $30 for lunch which was very reasonable considering we got three courses and the portions were still nice. The service was excellent, staff was friendly, and food was delicious. I would definitely come back! The tiramisu was outstanding!!“

“I started going to Amore a couple years ago. When we parked it looked very quaint , We walked in and it was like stepping into little Italy the staff will go up and above to make u meal fantastic. There us a area to sit outside when its warm and its so nice in doing so I would recommend it. My family has also spent many holidays here and the atmosphere and food is amazing as always but u need not just go for a Holiday any day is fantastic at Amore. Now the main reason for going here is the food is out of this world just like my nana and mom cooked and how I do so. As in the name Amore we love u food and reservations are highly recommended ??“

“One of my top picks for fine Italian dining. Everything is cooked to perfection and the pasta is out of this world. Service is attentive but not intrusive and as one can see by the number of people coming in and at times waiting that it is a favorite of locals. Highly recommend!!“

“My favorite restaurant in Stamford! I come here frequently with friends and the food is always delicious. Drinks, food, & vibes are great. We love Alejandro! Definitely worth the visit.Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating for gluten free and dairy free guests“

“My daughter-in-law is from Brazil and introduced my family to some treats like Brigadeiros and so I found Araras online and visited one day to get some . So happy I did and I’ve been back several times to pick up different treats and also to buy some groceries from the market. I must say that as wonderful as the food is, the service and people who work there are even more wonderful! They have always been so helpful and accommodating and make Araras a very special place. Thank you for doing what you do so well❣️❣️Parking: Easy to park!“

“One word amazing. Only way you can get italian food of the same quality is buying a plane ticket to Italy ??. Menu is small but incredibley good you can't go wrong with anything on it. Great atmosphere feels like your sitting in your italian grandmother's house. Menu and desserts change daily. Everything is fresh and prepared to perfection.Parking: Free parking lot in rear.Wheelchair accessibility: Front door is wheelchair accessible“

“Overall, it was an enjoyable dining experience. The staff provideds top knotch service and does an incredible job. You walk in and feel like family. The pizza is incredible, and the ingredients are fresh a must visit when you want a good slice or pie!“

“What a wonderful first time experience last night was. The sirloin steak, the apps, sides were all perfection. I just moved to the town from the West Village and can honestly say the food is better here. And lastly, look at their wines by the glass: Caymus, Antinori. Shows you how much they care about service and their clients.“

“Excellent quality food, generous portions at reasonable prices! From the outside, this place looks like a plain-looking slice shop, but it is so much more than that. The service is friendlier than you normally would expect at a place like this, and they even packed up the leftovers for us. That's always a plus in terms of service. I had the fettuccine carbonara, which was certainly above average in quality. I find that carbonara is a difficult and unusual dish to make, so it's a good way to test an Italian restaurant. This place certainly passed the carbonara test. The portion size was absolutely enormous! It was better than the carbonara I had at a certain Michelin-starred restaurant in New Rochelle! I also had the opportunity to taste the fagioli soup, spinach pizza, and eggplant pizza. Everything was delicious. All of this, and the bill was under $50, with the tip included. Can't beat that.“

“Food was very good, regardless of the smaller portions. Service was excellent.. beer choice Forst was good, maybe offer other Italian flavors? atmosphere needed easy listening Italian music in the background since its an Italian restaurant?“

“Our first time visiting Trattoria 141 was this past Monday and we had such a great experience we returned the next day for dinner to try more things on the menu. Besides the amazing food and ambiance, the staff were just as awesome. The owner Jimmy is very hospitable and dedicated to excellence. His staff Nadi and Rafaello are highly knowledgable and they were a pleasure to spend an evening with. We will be back.“

“Employees are very good at there jobs & politeThey make a mean sandwich for sure and the prices aren't that bad for the times we are experiencingI will continue shopping there as long as they are in BusinessThank you for the Great food“

“I love this restaurant. The staff are amazing and the food is delicious. The only thing I can mention is that they can change the music. The first time I went there, they were playing the 80s hits, it was so much fun! The staff and the gusts were dancing and having a good time. I think this was a better choice for the music. But overall, a great place!?? highly recommended.“

“we found this amazing restaurant on a whim driving up north.. we stopped to eat and we were not disappointed. the food was fantastic. the staff was delightful. portions were large. I can't wait to find myself on a road trip back to this restaurant soon.“

“Have visited multiple times and will continue to come back. Specials are always on point. But the menu items never disappointment. Grilled shrimp, calamari, and mussels are all solid appetizers. Can't go wrong with any of the salads. Favorite entrees include the gnocchi, lobster ravioli, orecchiette, branzino, and chicken parmesan. Service has always been great. And it's awesome to have the option to sit outside on warmer days.“

“I've eaten here about half a dozen times and have never been disappointed. The food is consistently flawless and the prices are not insanely high, considering the environment (you are in Scarsdale, after all!). The place is kept immaculately and the staff is courteous and professional. I highly recommend, especially for special occasions.Parking: There is valet parking.“

“Came here for weekday lunch to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The food was amazing. The service was fantastic and very attentive. The lunch special prices are a great deal. They gave us a free dessert with a candle which was so nice. Highly recommend.“

“Sams great and so is their Restautant and staff, if your looking for an elegant evening of fine dining with delicious entrees reasonably priced this is it. Come and dine in a romantic atmoshete sitting in or out on their charming porch in downtown Rye don't miss it!“

“The food was very good. We had a reservation for six people. Our table was comfortable. The service was good but from the second we sat down, every single server who came to our table was trying to rushing us through. The server who was taking our order came by three times, within minutes even, though we told him we needed some time. We finally had to tell another server that we are not in a hurry and we would like to please not be rushed through our meal and out the door. After that, we were able to enjoy our time and our food and drinks.“

“Great food and service, the drinks!!!! Always amazing. With a staff that is long lasting, it makes you feel like you're home. You can dress up or go casual which I absolutely love. Their chicken scarp is the best and their pizza and pastas are always great .“

“Food and service were great. Place was very busy on a Saturday night. Plenty of parking. We had calamari, burrata, and meatballs for appetizers; linguini, veal, chicken and gnocchi main course. Food was delicious. I will recommend going.At times, it got very noisy.“

“Neighborhood Pizza Shop Reborn!Loved coming here growing up in New Ro, it has only gotten better with the new owners! Mario and his brother are super friendly down to earth people! Service is always quick and friendly and they always have something tasty coming out of the oven whenever I walk in! My favorites are the Sicilian Slice, Meat Slice, Regular Slice, Chicken Francese and their desserts are amazing (try the Tiramisu or the Creme Brule Cheese Cake! They are sooo good!)“

“Great pizza options for both vegans and omnivores. We order takeout pizza from Rini’s every time I visit my friend in the area, and it’s such a treat! The crust is the perfect ratio of crispy/chewy, and they get the balance of sauce, cheese, and toppings right. Well seasoned, delicious pizza!“

“Wonderful dinner with friends last night at Maria! We shared apps; salmon tartare, roasted squash with sage, seasoned green beans, fried artichokes- so good! I loved the homemade pasta with eggplant- fresh tomatos in the sauce were excellent! Lovely sparkler candle in our friends dessert for her birthday - the donut with fresh cream and strawberries was delightful!“

“We have been to wonderful Italian restaurant twice this far. Once when my wife and I went out for Valentines date and most recently for my daughter's 22nd birthday. The food is very delicious, the 0 service was superb and atmosphere was great. On top of that, the owner Dean was in the front to greet us entering and leaving his restaurant.“

“Absolutely love dining at Dolphin South Trattoria in Pleasantville! The Chicken Scarpariello is hands down my FAVORITE dish – bursting with flavor and always cooked to perfection. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, and the service is top-notch!! Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious Italian cuisine!“

“Local spot that makes really good Italian sandwiches. They get pretty busy during lunch, so if you are tight on time, i recommend calling in your order. The staff is always friendly and happy to recommend something. I usually order The Sicilian (vegetarian) or the Al Pacino (chicken). These are not "light" sandwiches. I always think i can eat one, but end up saving half for a 2nd meal. Ask them to put the sandwiches in the panini press, much better that way.“

“This place is great. Unfortunately I am posting this a little too late, so I forgot what food I had but I remember we had a great time. There was four of us. Service was great. Food was excellent because it wasn't. I wouldn't have kept the check in or I would've gave you a bad review but all in all I know we had a good time and it is a jewel hidden away off Marin Avenue where all the other restaurants are.“

“Just before Christmas we had an opportunity to revisit a warm local ambiance of a Larchmont NY Italian-style pizza/pasteria Alondras.... So, the pizza was reliably excellent- much better than other more standard options around. However, it was the the crisp, well-seasoned salad and tender eggplant Parmigiana that won the night. They were delicate and delectable! Our service was lovely and when I mis-chose a local microbrewery beer , the server quickly switched me out to a Stella Artois with no attitude or complaint Thank goodness for local establishments like this that service simple and fresh ingredients. Thank you @alondras #alondras rocks !“

“Have been going there since they opened. Never disappointed. The food is always good as well as the service. Prices are good for the excellent food that you receive. Have had private parties there which were also excellent. Would highly recommend.“

“Let me start by saying that this place is best top 2 steakhouse in westchester county. The food was amazing. I ordered the porterhouse it was cooked at perfection. Will definitely recommend this place. I should go there soon. By the way, Val thank you. Your attention and professionalism was amazing.“

“Always a great choice. A warm welcome at the door, we were led to our table in the middle of a laughing and upbeat crowd. Bar was hopping and parties in the back. The food never fails. In fact after all these years I think it's getting better. Order anything you want. Menu or specials. Meat, fish, or pasta. Everything is prepared and served beautifully. A great dining experience for us. Over and over and over again.“

“My family and I spent Easter dinner at this restaurant, where the food and the service was phenomenal!!!. A server can make or break your experience and our server Lura was awesome! The owner is hands on and made sure everything was superb! Thank you again and we will be back soon!“

“Est. 1976Layout/atmosphere*Small shop; freezer with pastas & prepared foods; cookies; breadsFood/drink*Large round ravioli (18) - good*Chicken parmigiana - good; thin cut but tender*Sunday Gravy - good; soup-like consistency*Rice Balls - good“

“Our group of six visited Posto 22 on St. Patrick's night. It had been awhile since we had been to New Rochelle for dining and parking can be a bit challenging. After finding a spot on Main street (only $1 per hour) we discovered that Posto 22 had valet parking available. Our party was sat on time and the service was friendly, quick and efficient. The design of the rectangular restaurant space is a bit odd as the thin bar is in front as soon as you walk in. There was a private party in their secondary large room and there is additional space in the rear of the restaurant. There was a wide selection of menu items and specials to choose from and the group started with friend zucchini and artichokes which were very good. Each couple split a salad (tricolore for me & Mrs.) and they were large and flavorful- really excellent. Bread was provided and the cocktails were well presented. Entrees ranged from Ok to very good with some dishes (A pasta special) a bit too flavorful but the portion sizes were very good. Prices overall were fair for these days $146 per couple all in. Our lone dessert, the apple cobbler, was a disappointment- devoid of flavor. There is a spirited mixed crowd befitting the diverse New Rochelle area so you may have to use your outdoor voice to be heard or it might have been the revelry of the St. Patrick's holiday? Table spacing is generous. Overall we enjoyed our foray to New Ro as a good change of pace. I could recommend this restaurant because if you know how to navigate the menu I believe you can have a very good meal.“
