24 Best Italian Restaurants near Elizabeth

“Breakfast critic: 2nd best place to eat around here outside of my own kitchen! First visit and I am hooked. Wedding soup was so close to moms recipe I almost cried. Omelet was phenomenal. If I could have given them a 10 they would have got it. Highly recommend!!!! Can't wait to come back to try the dinner menu. Been to a lot of places for breakfast and this one takes the cake. And that banana creme pie is calling. Do yourself a favor and stop in sooner than later.“

“It took us two hours to be seated and to get our food, but I was ok with that it was Friday.There is a reason why they are so busy. The food.I got the one pound Icelandic cod battered dipped. The battery oh wow. The best I've ever had. When the fish came out it was indescribably beautiful compared to what I've gotten elsewhere. This thing must have been two pounds. The bun looking like a fat women's swimsuit at the south Park wave pool, it didn't stand a chance. The amount of fries you get are legitimately enough for four people, and the side I picked which was zucchini fries...oh wow, I'm addicted.I don't know how they could have made a single dollar on my meal, it's insane.“

“If I could eat here every day of the week I would! First off they have the best wings around! (I am a wing snob). Their wait staff is always so friendly and accommodating. No matter what you are in the mood for they have it. Their specials are always something new and exciting. I always start off with a side salad with their homemade ranch. Also make sure to save room for dessert because they always have a great cheesecake on the menu!“

“Took my mom here for dinner tonight after the recommendation of a friend. I got the pork chop with mashed potatoes and carrots and she got the meatloaf. The food was excellent, the staff was very attentive and nice. We ended are meal with a piece of the baklava cheesecake (honestly the best piece of cheesecake I've ever had), before the check was even brought my mom was already making plans to bring her brother and his wife. We will definitely be returning and bringing friends highly recommend.“

“Let me start by saying they have great pizza and their hot wings were great! The place is small so it's kinda hard to get a seat. Their also located on a cobble stone which sucks to drive and park on BUT with all of that said, people keep going there because it's good food. Great group of guys working there as well.“

“We recently gave this place a try after hearing good thing and were blown away by the food and service.We had meatballs and ricotta, maple Brussels, pizza, and pasta.Their chef has a meticulous focus on quality and you can taste it in every bite of goodness.We will definitely be coming back soon.“

“Awesome vibes and food! This place was spotlessly clean and well lit, everyone is incredibly friendly, service staff and even the cooks were so helpful, welcoming, and kind! We got homemade meatballs, zucchini tower, and homemade tiramisu and every single single was just to die for!!! Drinks were strong and cheap and the pool table is well taken care of!Kid-friendliness: High chairs available, bar in the front and laid back dining area in the back“

“I don't know where to start, but, what I can say is as a foodie I've been to alot and I mean ALOT of restaurants. And this place, these people, their food??? top notch I felt family, I walked out hugging their family Serena was my waitress so attentive went above and beyond Emily was the owner and spent so much time with us made sure that our experience was memorable and I can now call her a friend I can't say enough about these people and how I highly suggest that everybody stop here and meet them but try there amazing food I started off with a meatball appetizer stuffed mushrooms both were fantastic our dinners where salmon with pasta the blackened salmon was probably the best I've ever had the other dinner was cacio e pepe with shrimp absolutely fantastic as well creamy sauce pasta cooked perfectly! We had smoked old fashioned they brought this metal box smoker onto the table that smelled amazing which included the old fashioned inside I think that it was pretty neat I also had a Godfather which was Jack Daniels and amaretto which tasted very good as well they bring you fresh baked bread and homemade oil and balsamic dipping sauce what states did so so good and also gave me fresh bread to take home and sauce and they ended up giving us a cannoli which tasted fantastic as well they are known for their eight layer lasagna that they happen to run out of when we got there so I end up making the trip again even though it was an hour and a half drive to Monessen it was well worth the drive I can't say enough about these people in their business and their food I highly recommend them if you go just tell them that I sent you and let me know about your experience as well!“

“Christmas at Johnny's...Very Festive and Comforting. I had the Chicken Romano...OUTSTANDING!!!! The Chicken was SO TENDER that I was Eating it with a SPOON!!! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! Also had Meatballs...DELICIOUS!!! A MUST VISIT To EVERYONE Who want REAL HOMEMADE ITALIAN QUESINE!!!@“

“Honestly I keep thinking how dumb I've been to not have discovered this place sooner! I walked in within 2 minutes of them opening so I was the only one in the place. The waitresses and the owner all introduced themselves to me and asked my name. From that point on, they treated me like we had been friends for years. I had only wanted to try this place because I have heard the live music is great and the atmosphere is better, but when I got there, I was a bit hungry. I took a look at the menu and didn't see anything I would like but because they were so nice to me, I thought I would try the Italian hoagie. BEST DECISION EVER. I mean wow I can't stop thinking about how good it was. While I was waiting for my food to be made, I was looking at some of their upcoming events. They have an event called "Dingus Day" coming up and I wanted to know more. The owner came out and sat down next to me and started looking for videos on their tv. He found a clip of Anderson Cooper making fun of this dingus day and that's why he likes celebrating it. We walked YouTube videos for 15 minutes til my food was ready. I've never laughed or had so much fun with complete strangers in my life. I can't wait to go back and hang out with the people who made me feel like family from the second I walked in.“

“I have been waiting to try Uncle Koko's for months - and it was definitely worth the wait! Their woodfired pizza is terrific! When I try a new pizza joint, I always have a straight up plain / margherita pie so I can get a good taste of their base pizza - and Uncle Koko's is probably the best brick oven / wood fired pizza I have ever had! The crust was well cooked on the bottom, but not burnt. The sauce is extremely tasty, not bland. The cheese is perfect - no grease at all! The guys behind the counter were great, and the custom horror paintings decorating the small dine in area are amazing! This place is well deserving of every 5 star review!“

“Looking for an event space? Gaetano’s Banquet Center & Catering should be your first consideration. Service, atmosphere, and menu, something for any event. You will be completely satisfied. Ask for Anna, she will make it happen. Two years in a row our group has had 100 guests and we plan to make it a tradition ?.“

“This is by far, the best pizza and the best calzone I’ve ever tasted. The cheese to sauce ratio was impeccable. The crust was a perfect bit of crunchy around the crust. There was NOT a single bite of pizza that was soggy - and given the moisture of the cheese and sauce the pizza had, I was floored by how perfectly cooked it was.This place is CASH ONLY and although there is sorting available, it doesn’t seem like the type of place you want to sit down and eat. Not that it’s unwelcoming, it’s just very quaint.Vegetarian options: There are plenty of vegetarian pizza toppings available for personalizationParking: Plenty of parking with a bit of a walk from the lot“

“Had a funeral lunch there in October for my mother-in-law. The service was impeccable and the food selections were perfect! The staff expressed their sympathy. I attended another funeral luncheon recently somewhere else and the service and food was very lacking. Highly recommend having a group event here! The price was reasonable too.“

“The value for the price is awesome. Super good meals every time. And always enough to take some home. Always have to get dessert and usually enough of it to take some home also. The desserts are homemade styles and a great variety of options. Free garlic bread is perfect too.“

“Chef Salvatore of Salvatore's Pizza and Pasta - Brooklyn's Finest in Rostraver Twp, PA deserves praise for his delicious entrées and pizza. We were too busy to eat in, so we ordered takeout. Our order was substantial and offered three separate dinners for us to enjoy. The pizza was delicious! The handmade sauce and crust were delectable, and YES!!! I KNOW there are an insane number of pizza places within a 5-mile radius, BUT NOT ALL PIZZA IS THE SAME, and it's occasionally good to mix things up. Then there was baked ziti, chicken parmesan, meatballs, and garlic knots. Mouthful of Italian bliss!!! The chicken was tender and flavorful. The meatballs were out of this world. The baked ziti, spaghetti, and garlic knots were delicious. If you've been searching for delicious home-cooked Italian food, Salvatore's is a must-try! #ChefSalvatore #Rostraver #ItalianBliss #pizza #ziti #chickenparm #meatballs #homemade“

“Get the gnocchi in red sauce - trust me. Hand made fluffy pillows of goodness. The salad is also amazing. Love their house dressing (even bought some to-go to take home and use on my own salads) can’t recommend this place enough. Risotto ball appetizer is really good too.“

“Been a customer for a year now since me and my girlfriend moved to South Park... We absolutely love this place! This is our go to take-out place for pizza, wedgies, fries, and fried Zucchini! Food is delicious and their marinara sauce is top notch!“

“We tried Antonio’s for the first time tonight. We ordered a deep dish pizza with pepperoni and the general tso’s chicken pizza. Both pizzas looked and tasted amazing. I don’t find many places that put fried chicken on pizza, so I appreciate the unique menu items. This style and quality of food is exactly what we were looking for. We will definitely be back.“

“Angie's is a family owned restaurant with the sweetest staff. They truly treat you like family here! I recommend their beans and greens and their spinach calzone! They are a BYOB which is always a plus! The Christmas decorations are so fun and abundant! The space is great for larger parties as well!“

“This place has ample seating and parking. Management is friendly and the establishment is clean. Weekends host live entertainment with mixed genres to cater to a wide demographic. This place has packed in many events and has much more to come. Follow their Facebook and instgram accounts for updated information about local entertainment and events to come.“

“The atmosphere was laid back and relaxed. The food was amazing. We had wings, a steak hoagie, and onion rings. The Wings were cooked just right. The bartender and cook were very friendly. Drinks are not expensive. We met the new owner. He thanked us for trying his place out and even bought us a drink.“

“Super great food and the staff is all so friendly!! Amber was the best waitress. We got the meatball appetizer with mozzarella, peppers, onions and sausage, so so good! I wish they always had it on the menu. Also got the scalo pasta with penne and the veal parmesan. Definitely call and make reservations. You get bread with every meal along with choice of soup or salad. 10/10 recommend!“

“We went here on a whim because another place a few towns over was booked solid. I agree, they need to make their "cash only" policy more evident upon arrival. My wife and I got side salads, and the house dressing was vinegar forward - I liked that, but some mightn't. Our friend shared his order of Awesome Blossom Petals, and they were good. I got the Italian sausage bake. It's a lot, and it was good, but not so good that I'm interested in reheating the to-go leftovers. Our waitress was nice. It was weird that the hostess and the waitress were sitting at the dining table next to us when they weren't waiting on us. They have tripe, so they're still on the "I'll probably go back to check that out" list.“
