We were heading to the other popular pizza place on Main, but mistakenly went into Emilioâs when gps brought us here. So glad it did! We are fussy about our pizza( who isnât?), and everyone has different criteria. Ours is crispy crust but not dried out sauce, and sauce that is not too sweet or heavy, fresh toppings , especially fried eggplant. Emilioâs got it right on all counts including lovely wait staff. Wish they were closer to home.

This was our 4th visit to this restaurant. We had reservations and were promptly seated. We were greeted by our waiter, Justin, and he took our drink order. We asked for samples to taste of the beer and wine which he graciously provided. Next we ordered fried calamari and clams oreganato which we shared. Both were very good and the calamari was tender and not over cooked. All of us ordered the zuppa de pesce. There was a lot of mussels, clams, shrimp and calamari over linguine. The linguine was just the right amount but the seafood was a nice healthy portion. The wait staff is very pleasant and our waiter, Justin, was exceptionally nice and attentive. Justin is probably one of the best server we have had in recent memory at any restaurant. Justin made our dining experience at Porto Bello very enjoyable. Give Porto Bello a try, you won't be disappointed.

Old standby in a town with lots of restaurant turnover. A cut above a red sauce Italian place. Gets crowded early in tourist season - reserve if you can. Good salads, had a nice veal/marsala dish, although meat a little tough. Pasta side perfectly al dente.Reasonable and well curated wine list. Hint - find parking in the bank lot across the street if after banking hours.We must mention outstanding table service - friendly, knowledgeable, quick, even when things got frantic in the place.

There are so many great restaurants in Greenport so we avoided eating pizza. However every time we pass this restaurant, the pizza smells amazing and the outdoor eatery is so inviting. Yesterday we decide to have a quick lunch here. We were delighted to find out the pizza is done in a brick oven and they have almost every variety of slices! The pizza was crispy, fresh and very good! My husband had the sausage and the pepperoni pizza and I had the artichoke pizza. It was amazing!!!
5. Isola

I hate to admit it, but when I see âItalian inspiredâ I sometimes lower my expectations. The truth is, iâve encountered Too many mediocre Italian restaurants... but Isola is not one of them. We loved they had live music, a young woman offering unique arrangements of current pop classics and the owner has the kind of charm that a lesser restaurant would need to rely on - but here again, not Isola. The complimentary flatbread was both delicate and thoughtfully seasoned to pair with a small bowl of olives in a herb vinaigrette. Thatâs a small detail - but as distinctive as it was delicious. Hungry from a day of travel my partner and I ordered espresso martinis (that werenât too sweet) and enjoyed perhaps the best Oysters Rockefeller weâve ever had. He followed that with a ribeye he thoroughly enjoyed while I ordered the swordfish. Fresh-caught and sourced from nearby Greeport, I can say it was the most tender swordfish iâve Ever had, partnered with some comforting marscapone mashed potatoes and beans. We left promising to return and I think you will too.

You might think that this is just another Italian restaurant on Long Island. You might think that you need to go to a well advertised restaurant rather than a local recommendation. Touch of Venice is really impressive in the excellent food department. Everything we ordered was terrific. Baked clams, pasta, fish, veal...you name it. Excellent.We had reservations...I would recommend making them especially if you want to dine Friday or Saturday.Staff is very attentive....drinks are served with a hefty pour.
3. 1943 Pizza Bar

As Greenport lurches toward rebranding itself as Greenhampton, itâs nice to know you can still get a good simple pizza. Although located in the upmarket Stripling Square, 1943 keeps it real with excellent pies, cold beers and good service. The menu has a dozen or so specialty pies with the option of building your own on a red or white platform. FYI, the fennel sausage is excellent. Pizza elites can still get their kale and what not. Caution, the pizza is served hot. The standard pies are 14 inchers, cut into 8 slices. Outside seating is available. Inside is rather woody and dark but will be preferable in the warmer months, kale and other trends.

We came here for dinner with a group of friends and enjoyed cocktails (outstanding espresso martinis!) at the bar as well as outside, alongside the bocce courts! Had a wonderful table in an enclosed room/porch (due to the weather, but still a great atmosphere). Delicious food and wine!! The osso buco is fantastic as well as the seared scallop appetizer. Waitress was very attentive and pleasant!! Very nice spot!
