1. Rossellini’s Restaurant and Lounge
Get the true Italian experience without having to make travel arrangements when you get an authentic taste of the old country at Rossellini’s. A velvety cream sauce and a generous helping of parmesan cheese make their fettuccine alfredo one of the stand-out dishes here. Follow that up with a traditional Italian dessert like their delicious tiramisu.

2. The Cellar Restaurant
A fine dining experience that you can find right here in the Historic District of our town, The Cellar has some of the most sophisticated Italian dishes you’ll find anywhere. Their “Marco Polo”-style ravioli come packed with a seafood filling, served in a light sauce flavored with tomato and tarragon, and garnished with fried ginger for some extra flavor.

3. Genovese’s Italian Cafe
Ever since serving their first customer back in 1981, the team at Genovese’s has been dedicated to providing an exceptional experience for everyone who comes through their doors. Seafood lovers have got to check out the frutta di mare pasta plate, with a blend of all your favorite shellfish served in a delicious red sauce with plenty of noodles.

4. Anna’s Trattoria
The relaxed, chandelier-lit atmosphere that you’ll enjoy your meal in at Anna’s Trattoria will make you feel welcome from the very first moment after your arrival. Start things off with a plate of their calamari fritti, fried to tender perfection in a lightly-seasoned batter. For your entrée, we recommend the gnocchi al pesto, with delicious homemade potato dumplings flavored with some zesty pesto.

5. Don Vito’s Italian Restaurant
Fine Italian fare that is always created from scratch using the freshest ingredients is what you’ll find at Don Vito’s, where they promise to serve you ‘a meal you can’t refuse.’ The homemade sauce their penne alla vodka comes in makes this dish an absolute classic. Grab yourself a cannoli afterwards to cap your meal off with a crispy and sweet treat that packs a memorable flavor.

6. Zappi’s Italian Garden Restaurant
The outdoor dining piazza at Zappi’s surrounds you with flowers, plants, and picturesque fountains to give you the perfect setting for your meal. Their world-famous pizza is one strong option here, but we also have to give a shoutout to the shrimp scampi. The buttery sauce the noodles and shrimp come served in is flavored with garlic and lemon for an invigorating twist in every bite.
