Italian Restaurants near Sound Beach

“great burgers and super friendly staff“

“5 stars all around, AMAZING!!! :) I went here recently for some slices of pizza and got the buffalo chicken, grandma and a white slice - all were freshly made and very tasty! The ingredients were top quality and I loved the flavors, not too spicy/overdone and not bland at all. You could tell it was made with care. I gotta say, I am a harsh critic when it comes to pizza and pasta (I'm part Italian and from Brooklyn lol) but I was quite impressed with the food from here. I also ordered again for catering yesterday and had trays of eggplant rollatini, garlic chicken with pasta, salad and penne a la vodka. The guests couldn't stop raving about how moist the chicken was (where sometimes in a light sauce can tend to be dry), and I even enjoyed the eggplant a lot (not a big fan of eggplant, but by guest request I gave it a shot). The vodka sauce was very well done, and everyone took home leftovers of every dish afterwards. Great service both times and I did not feel rushed at all when I came in for my takeout order or on the phone. Highly recommend for your next event or lunch/dinner order!“

“Once you go to orto, you’ll keep coming back. From the bread pairings, the four course prefix.. everything tastes fresh and absolutely amazing. You can taste the care they put into their food. I also love how the menu is constantly changing with what is fresh during each season. Orto has become my favorite restaurant. Never change! Thank you.“

“I can not believe that this restaurant has been here on Main Street in Port Jefferson Village for over 20 years and I never ate there!!! This is my new Favorite place to eat. The food was exceptional and good size portions. The pita bread they put out on the table was so delicious I could have made that my meal. The service was extremely attentive and so personable. The Owner came around greeting everyone and made us feel like we were all family having dinner together. I am looking forward to my next visit.“

“Picked up Three pies two hero’s the price is great. we ordered three different types deep dish. Thin. Crust and regular pie with meatballs five stars the meat balls really made the pie.“

“I love this pizzeria the staff is always friendly, place is always clean. The food is delicious and you cannot beat their light and airy garlic knots, and specialty pizza slices. Wish the young owner lots of luck and everyone should definitely give this place a try.“

“I was really surprised by this hidden gem. Such a cozy place with really friendly and excellent service and amazing food at a really reasonable price. I definitely recommend La Cova to anyone who’s hungry and wants a nice relaxing experience.“

“Our family had a private 16th birthday for my daughter at Elaine’s. From the moment I called to book the event, we had great customer service. The food was delicious. The salmon was so good, that we were talking about how to make it the same at home. The pasta was fresh and home made. The cannolis they put on the table were delicious as well.The restaurant has a clean, and fresh with fun art and photography on the walls.I highly recommend this restaurant even if it’s just for a drink at the bar!“

“Recently visited with friends for lunch. Table service was excellent with server explaining the specials along with recommendations on the basic menu items. Dining area was clean and overall ambiance simple but appealing. Ordered the chicken roll which they specifically cooked for me and a vegetable which were cooked to perfection. Overall service was great. Server checked up on us multiple times and we felt right at home, not rushed at all. Restaurant located on the main road but entrance and parking are behind the strip center off Hawkins.“

“Exceptional food and service“

“Best Pizza I have had since moving back to Long Island from Florida. The reg pizza was baked to perfection and the specialty slice I had was just as good. I found my new Pizza spot, I have to try every variety of slices they stock. Thanks for a great experience“

“The cheese pizza is always good, the knots here are unique bowtie shaped dough, always soft and oily and my overall favorite knots on long Island. I've yet to meet a staff member that I didn't think was excellent and personable. Branchinelli's is my miller place go-to pizzeria.“

“So friendly! So nice! Open late and delicious food!!! Something for everyone. Tonight we had everything delivered and I'm so glad!!! We had pizza, knots, the BEST mozzarella sticks, a yummy Greek salad, delicious spanakopita, and baked clams. Everything came nice and hot. Perfect Sunday night dinner for a late night with the family.“

“The restaurant is cozy and inviting, with a warm and homey atmosphere.The food was delicious, but the calamari fritti was truly exceptional ,a perfect ten out of ten!Our server, Dylan, was absolutely amazing, ensuring we had a wonderful time throughout our visit. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend it - 100% - for a cozy date or family dinner perhaps.“

“I just have to say this place is amazing,everything so far I've gotten has just been delish and the prices are just amazing, you truly get what you pay for,not like all they other restaurants that make prices higher and the quality of food definitely doesn't match,matches both quality and quantity. This place reminds me of the pizzeria I had as a kid. So good!,and the people that work that are just as nice.“

“I love the food here, one of the best pizza restaurants on the island. I go here atleast once a week, You have to try the Buffalo garlic knots when you come here. The specialty slices are loaded they dont skimp on the toppings. The staff is friendly, you can tell they put real effort into the food they cook.Ask for the spicy honey dressing on your pizza its makes it taste amazing“

“Happened upon this restaurant while visiting Port Jefferson. And glad we did. Got here early enough that we could get a table right away. Steve took great care of us without being overbearing. We started off with the stuffed mushrooms, which were so freaking good. For main course my husband got the Chicken & Sausage Scarpiello, and I had the Veal Scallopini - both were delicious. We finished off sharing the Rainbow Cookie Cheesecake. This exceeded my expectations. Everything was so good that my husband wants to go back tomorrow!“

“We love Pazzo pizza!!! The quality of the pies are incredible and they have something for everyone - vegan options (their vegan buffalo pie is incredible) to a classic and delicious Margherita pie. We absolutely love the quality of their pizza and the crust is so good and crisp yet fluffy. Best of all the service here is so positive and great, always appreciate coming here and will make the drive out just for Pazzo.“

“I stopped in for a few slices after seeing my doctor, who is next door, and I am glad I did! The pizza not only looks delicious, it is insanely delicious! It's some of the best pizza I have had on Long Island! (and I have had a lot, haha). This place is under new ownership, and the owner is so nice you can tell he really cares about the customer experience and delivering amazing food and quality! Also, given what prices for slices lately have been, the fact that you get such large slices at such fair prices for such good pizza is really nice. I highly recommend this place for great slices, and I am sure the rest of the food is great, too. I will try it soon.“

“Waiter was very nice Gave me pizza Literally heavenly cheesy fries and WITH BACON, THE BEST FOOD IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE Very good bread Calamari was pretty good Soup was absolutely mouthwatering! Salad is pretty good For some reason my sister and brother ate the raw dough? That's nothing to fault the restaurant though, just my weird siblings. Huge portion of penne with meatballs but it was IMMACULATE“

“Great service, delicious food!“

“I came in there over the summer with my wife and my grandson, Gerald. We were greeted by a young lady by the name of Brooke. Let me tell ya, she was a wonderful waitress to mi familia y yo! She brightened up out dinner experience and made the whole restaurant glow with positivity. I have never experienced such amazing service in my 73 years of life. I especially want to thank her for being nice to my grandson. he has severe autism and she was just a doll! She even sang him happy birthday (he was turnin 7). I tell ya what, if I hadn't lost so much money to these darn taxes, I would've left a $100 tip for this sweet girl. PLEASE give miss Brooke a nice raise. And give her my best wishes. Hugs & Kisses, -Rupert, Gerald and family <3“

“Love the food. Service and atmosphere.“

“I have never ordered from here before. We ordered a plain pie, pepperoni pie and garlic knots. I couldn't be any more happy with what we got. Let's talk about old school knots.... the ones your Grams used to make!!! Delicious. So we're the pizzas!!! We will now be regulars!“

“Cute theme inside, very clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Their plain slice was really yummy and crisp. I'm impressed by the unique selection of specialty slices. I've never been to place that offers chicken & waffles, hot honey pepperoni, among other unique combinations. I ordered a buffalo chicken slice and there was a perfect ratio of chicken, buffalo sauce & ranch. I look forward to returning to try more slices!“

“The food is delicious. It quckly became my go-to for a freshly made meal.Dietary restrictions: They always accommodate my diet needs. The foods I usually order aren't listed but delicious. I've dined in, got deliveries, as well as take out. You will not be disappointed.“

“If I ever want some good pizza, garlic knots or hot wings, I am ordering from Goomba Johnny's!! Should be the go to pizza shop in Selden!! Great food and fast delivery...Always good traits to have when you are a restaurant...lol Looking forward to ordering new items off the menu!! ?“

“The guy who worked there last night is a GEM! I ordered online close to closing and he still asked if I wanted cheese in my hero, put it on for me, and stuck it back in the oven. He also told me that if I called directly to the restaurant for a pick up order, it’s a few bucks cheaper. I had a rough day at work and needed comfort food that wasn’t fast food and he just made it that much better. Thank you!Eggplant parm hero also hit the spot! Will be back.“

“I got delivery food came nice quick have to say the delivery person was so cautious with my food and I was very thankful for that because when I opened the boxes it looked great definitely handled with care.Got a chicken Parmesan pie this was delicious the slices are normal not too big or too small had the right amount of cheese & sauce. I had to try the pepperoni pin wheel one of the best I have tried.The buffalo chicken garlic knots and the cheesy garlic knots where delish.“

“Go for the pizzettes!! They are so good!! Good selection too, whether you just want a nice thin crisp regular pie, the New Yorker or Margherita, or if you want to go for something with toppings, they're very versatile. My personal fave is the Angry Alla Vodka because I enjoy a little kick. For you spice lovers, I would personally recommend. House salad dressing one of the best dressings I've ever had in my life. I go here at least once a week, never disappoints.“

“I live local and my daughter's went there to have a slice for lunch and said we had to try it and we did and order at least once a week from them great food and beautifully decorated“

“It's one of those hole in the wall places you just go for the food. The best tacos we have had since leaving Southern California . It is a small Deli, counter serve style with 3 tables to sit.The food was excellent. The tacos, quesadilla, and Papusas everything was freshly prepared and hot. The meats are succulent and juicy.It's not very cheap, but the quality and taste of the food are well worth it.“
