26 Best Italian Restaurants near West Park

“So nice. We happened by and stopped to see if, by chance, they had a table. I could tell they were booked. The owner came out and offered the bar. He was amazingly nice.. The food was amazing. The bartenders and staff were so pleasant. We had an appetizer of crab cakes delicious. I had the filet mignon, and my husband had the Delmonico . I don't know what was better. Both were perfectly cooked. I am definitely going back. It looks to me like they all work perfectly together. The owner chef really knows his stuff.. if you want a good meal this is the place“

“We have had an early (4:30pm) dinner this past weekend. We have been there several times before but over 15 years ago. No specific reason for the lapse. just never got back. Our past experience was: Food and service 5 stars, Atmosphere: upscale (dressy), Prices: reasonable for the quality and portions. The steak Au Poivre was the best I have ever had. New experience: The atmosphere, is more casual -(almost "rustic"), The host wearing a flannel shirt, and the waitress wearing a down vest. After other guests arrived, I thought it was a bit noisy but then realized there wasn't a person dining under 80 (guessing hearing problems, LOL), I'm 65 and felt like a kid, LOL. No worries, it didn't affect my food! LOL!. Food and service: The calamari was skimpy but cooked perfectly. The French onion soup was VERY VERY good!! The Steak Au Poivre... is STILL the best I have ever had! The fries, well I like the crisp-crisp-crisp, but did not specify.. They came out perfect to my liking. The bourbon list, only Knob Creek and Bullitt, drinkable but it would have been nice to see some eagle rare, Blantins, etc. The "house" wine was yummy too. No dessert, we were very full. SummaryL We would absolutely go back again and not wait 15 years! 5 stars from us. Note; we liked the casual dress... I dont mind wearing a shirt and tie but we did feel more relaxed in casual attire.“

“The reviews on yelp for APIZZA are mixed and the bad ones seem to be mostly about price. Sure it's a little pricey but not really, and they give you a giant pizza which doesn't suck. I really liked their pizza and so did my family which includes some smallish kids. We also ordered meatballs which were solid, and a house salad which was also very good. I was greeted by someone in the pizza oven area as well as the front counter and everyone was happy and nice. I waited for my to go food and had the Italian margarita while checking out the action in the kitchen. Omg, that drink was so delicious, and to top it off the pizza chef throws every dough in the air! Mama Mia!“

“I was craving another order of "Meggie Cutlets" (chicken francaise), & Cesar of Capperi Restaurant pulled through w/ two pieces of chicken breast of a perfectly balanced flavor of egg, lemon butter, chicken broth, & parsley. It was paired wonderfully w/ angel hair pasta. Only complaint: no public restroom. Only suggestion: Italian sodas to compliment the cuisine!“

“Without a doubt...THE BEST! "The Thin Crust Joe's Style" brought back wonderful memories.“

“The best pizza.“

“Spettro is a relatively new place in town, I have been there a few times, it's relatively new, full of customers. I have only sat at the bar, it's comfy, just assume that the tables are also comfy. They have a nice selection of beer, I can find something to support my taste.Service is excellent, nice people trying to satisfy your wishes, some of them I have known from other places.Had good food there, last time it was a burger which was really medium rare, as I asked for. Pizza was also perfect coming out of the dome shaped oven hot.Giovanni ( full disclosure I have known for many years) is the owner, who owns the place, and built a new restaurant that pleases the crowd.I feel the food prices are on the expensive side, but the crowd proves that I am wrong. If the quality stays, it will stay crowded and all parties will be happy.“

“We had my Mom's surprise 80th Birthday Party on March 2, 2024. We could not have been happier at Joseph's! We had close to 70 guests and no one was disappointed with their entrees! We started with a salad, went to a pasta and then our guests had a choice of fish, chicken or steak! Everything was absolutely delicious! The chocolate mousse cake was simply out of this world! Deidra (Manager) was amazing to work with and paid close attention to every detail. The staff was extremely accommodating and personable to boot! The Birthday Girl was quite Happy and this will be a day she will never forget! Thank you Joseph (Owner) for helping us create this awesome memory that my Mom will never forget! Music by Michael Hite completed the event! If you are looking for a venue for a special event- Joseph's will not disappoint! 5 stars! THANK YOU!!!!“

“What an exceptional place .Roland and his staff , which includes family members have struck a perfect balance at this restaurant.Aesthetically, inside the restaurant it is just beautiful. It’s very upscale and almost feels elegant without being overwhelming. The food preparation and presentation is beautiful and well done. Food choices are interesting and varied and the food is excellent. You feel like you’re in some elegant upscale restaurant, but the feel from the waiters and the staff is very welcoming and warm and friendly. Nobody is stuffy or arrogant or pretentious. They are very accommodating and if you have any dietary restrictions they’re also pleasant about any accommodations. They always have great specials each week.This is such a wonderful place to have a nice cozy dinner or to have a family get together. It just always feels good when we come here. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough.“

“I was trying to order a couple sandwiches from a deli, but the first deli I tried I had to call three times and they never picked up. I called this place and the guy picked right up. Order my sandwiches no problem, picked them up no problem. My tuna sub was delicious, would definitely order from here again.“

“The food was excellent, and the service was even better. The one waitstaff that was there hustled throughout the whole night waiting on, serving and repeatedly checking in with our party of 9 adults. Don't go there if you are in a hurry, meals were made to order and take a while, however it is worth the wait and it definitely gives you time to talk to loved ones and friends. It's worth a visit to see for yourself.Parking: Paid (metered) street parking until 6pm.“

“Absolutely delicious sandwiches and paninis. At first I thought things were a bit expensive but when we received our food I was very pleased with the portions. The actual place is a bit cramped and we came during busy lunch hour so there was a wait, plus it crowds by he counter. There wasn't really space inside to eat but they do have a few tables outside. The food overall was slightly oversalted but nonetheless very high quality. The cashier also was friendly and professional. I would highly recommend.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian paninis and sandwiches, can take off cheese if you needParking: Have to browse around nearby for available residential parkingKid-friendliness: Lots of menu options for kids“

“The food here is amazing! This is not just a pizza place. I had the Sir Duke sandwich and it was so good...and not on an average boring roll. My daughter's LOVE the pizza and they have a drive through window! I always ask for a slice of the stuffed meat pie. You should go inside because you will see a bunch of things not on the menu and they are delicious too!“

“This place is a diamond in the rough! I’ve been going to this plaza for years and it’s hard to believe I just realized recently that this place is awesome. DO NOT SLEEP ON THE CHICKEN & SHRIMP SALAD it’s really good! And the pizza is fire! This place reminds me of pizza places I used to do to as a kid in the city. Wraps and chicken tenders are awesome too!!! AND THEY DELIVER!Kid-friendliness: Brought my 4 kids, there was a handicapped man sitting near us the staff was really cool and accommodating for us and the other familyDietary restrictions: Good place to get really good protein packed salads that last a couple meals. Good for dieting the salads are amazing“

“MADISON'S PIZZA CAFE in the heart of Pleasant Valley is a warm and friendly place with great pizza and many other dine in or take out menu options. There's a definite local neighborhood vibe here and the owners and staff make you feel like family. I will be back soon to work my way through that fun menu“

“This place is phenomenal. Sandwiches are delicious. The deli is gorgeous and the staff is great. Can't wait to gp back and try something different. 10/10“

“Love, love, love, Frank Guido’s. It is authentic Italian, and as an Italian from The Bronx, I know from what I speak. The food is beautifully seasoned, consistent with traditional Italian spices. The staff are attentive and the atmosphere, is as if I was sitting in my mom’s dining room with the entire crew of aunts, uncles, and cousins eating the amazing cuisine from Lucia, Mia mama. Thank you Frank Guido! You definitely rock.“

“Every single meal we are always happy with the excellent quality and consistent quality of our food! The service is always excellent! I managed to turn another generation into fans of Sals! They always want to eat at Sals. It’s no mystery why this business has been successful for decades!“

“We ate at Vincenzo’s while in town this weekend. The owner was working during lunch & wS absolutely lovely. Our food was delicious - with the exception of my dad’s soup which he said tasted like it was from a can. Pizza, calzones & subs were all excellent! Does not serve alcohol & is counter service. Dining area was clean & enjoyable.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly!“

“REALLY GOOD pizza and service. It is cheap and tastes AMAZING. They aren't always open when it says they should but it is family owned and they have kids. Tastes way better than the other pizza places around here. Really good people and totally recommend here, you'll love it!“

“Shout out to Milanese Italian RestaurantI went to meet family last night and I was seriously dreading the potential for me to make a bad choice while I am on a nutrition program.Soooooo many things that I would’ve loved to order, that would so not fit the program.But I was that person and asked for something special and they delivered - lots of flavor and I baaaarely stepped outside of my plan. OK I had a bite of my dad’s carbonara. ?Anyway, thank you for the great dinner dad, fam, and Milanese.We have been coming to this restaurant for at least *my* entire life, and love it!“

“My friend Alex is a regular and he got me out of the house for some lunch and he had me try his own menu item! Pesto Wings! Damn were they delicious!!!! I'm sure I'll be back with Alex again. I love this place. The food is great, the service is great, and the owner is awesome and very down to earth guy who is always approachable!“

“If you are in the area of Kingston, NY, please check out Savona's. Took my lady there for a birthday dinner, and damn am I glad I did. The place is Italian food, and the decor gives you that old-school Italian restaurant from back in the days. Candles, flowers on the table, made it sparkle. The service was on point, even with it busy on a Friday night the staff was attentive, and did an amazing job juggling several tables and still making the guest feel like they were the only ones there. The food was outstanding, it had flavor, the portion size was on point, and it tasted fresh. The ambiance, the service, and the food make this place top notch in Kingston and make Savona's Trattoria & Bar in Kingston worth the whiskey ?“

“I have been a Customer over 7 years now and live in Yosman Tower. Have never had a bad experience and trust me have had everything on the Menu REAL Italians making REAL Italian Food.“

“We ordered a large sausage & pepper pizza and it was DELICIOUS!! VERY fresh. The sauce tasted homemade, sweet sausage slices and tender, crisp green peppers with a crunchy but not over baked crust. BEST pizza we’ve had in a long, long time! Arrived really quickly and was still quite hot. We highly recommend RINO’S!!“
