My family's favorite local Italian restaurant!“

“We only came here because it was listed on BringFido, since we were traveling with our 20 pound Shiba Inu, Toby. What a wonderful experience that we had! The food was amazing! And we had just gotten back from the Amalfi coast in Italy. So that has to say something for this place! Jimmy, our server, was a doll and was so kind and brought things out for our dog, like water, etc. - very warm and welcoming place!!! of course we had to eat alfresco, and the traffic was a bit busy at that hour - so if it wasn’t for that noise, we would had an even greater time! But the excellent food and the excellent service more than made up for it! we will definitely be back with Toby!“

“We had Thanksgiving dinner here with my two boys. The service was absolutely outstanding. Our waitress was amazing . The food was beyond what I expected. Well done!!!! The portions were beyond believable and believe it or not the take home portions were just as amazing as they were when first brought out. More than 5 stars. Excellent evening and the price was ridiculously resendable. Great job to all the cooks and the people that don't get the recognition they deserve in the preparation of this fantastic meal.“

“Note of Appreciation: Luncheon Service Jan 8, 2025 Dear Sean B & Trento Staff, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the impeccable service and care your entire team provided during the recent funeral of my brother, Steven Blair. On what was undoubtedly a difficult day, your professionalism and attentiveness stood out, creating an environment that allowed our family to come together in remembrance and support. The timeliness of events, while never guaranteed, was handled with such grace and efficiency by your staff, which brought us immense comfort. I would especially like to commend Sean for the exceptional management of the logistics and preparation. The quality of the food and the attention to detail did not go unnoticed, and it sincerely exceeded our expectations. Your efforts contributed greatly to making a solemn occasion feel warm and inviting, allowing us to focus on celebrating Steven's life. Thank you once again for your unwavering commitment to excellence during such a challenging time. We are deeply appreciative of all that you have done. KMB“

“I had my son's wedding rehearsal dinner at Zona last night. I was originally booked to have the party on Saturday, but the bride came down with the flu. Gianna was so helpful and accommodating. She was able to change the date for me without hesitation. The day of the affair, the staff was so helpful in getting the room set up for us. Our waitress, Jodi, was absolutely incredible. She made sure that our guests had a fresh drink before they even realized their drink was empty. The food was delicious and plentiful. But most of all, the service that Jodi provided to us was outstanding. I would book another event at Zona without hesitation.“

We even had leftovers to take home! Fabio went above and beyond helping us set up the decorations the night before my party. We never felt rushed (we were there til 1am). He wants his guests to have a great experience and we did! Thanks to Fabio, Rose, Marty and the entire staff for a great party!“

“Words really cannot express what a perfect setting La Parma III Italian Restaurant was for our family.
I was trying to plan a luncheon to take place after a funeral remotely from San Diego, CA, and had nothing to go on other than a recommendation from the funeral home
I called and spoke to Guido on a Friday and the lunch was being planned for the upcoming Tuesday 8-27th a few days later.
Being in the catering business myself and immediately hearing "no problem" we can do it all, was simply music to my ears. Guido said he would not be in on that Sunday when I wanted to come check it out in person but gladly provided me with the Managers name that would be available that day to meet. When I arrived at the restaurant, I met Richie, and he could not have been more helpful in confirming everything that I had expected to happen.
Not only did they have us set up in a beautiful room with everything ready to go but both Guido and Richie were there during the lunch and worked the entire event in coordination with their amazing team. From the initial contact over the phone, all the way to the completion of the lunch we could not be happier with how professional and accommodating the people at La Parma III were, especially considering we had just lost our loved one. We would call them again for this or any other meal we needed to be catered. In summary, the food and service were five stars, A+, or whatever is the best grade possible!“

“let me tell you...this is the best retaurant on Long Island“

“An excellent family lunch. The food was, as usual, delicious and fresh. The server was friendly and efficient. It was quiet, a real treat for this restaurant that gets noisy at dinner time. Not one complaint about the delicious appetizers and main courses..our off season choice for great Italian food. Summer parking next to impossible!“

“Atlantic Pizzeria on Atlantic Ave in Freeport NY- It was my first time visiting this restaurant today and though I don’t normally write reviews, I felt compelled to state what a wonderful establishment! My daughter, who is very shy, spilled a drink in there and the workers replaced it immediately at no charge and cleaned it up right away! As a parent, this meant the world to me because I did not want her to feel uncomfortable.. thank you and we will be back! Please support!“

“My husband and I had Chicken franchese, Gnocchi sorrentino, Sides of caesar salad and penne ala vodka. Everything was delicious. Even the oil to dip the bread in was amazing. I loved everything! We can’t wait to go back and try the family style dinner.“

“Angelo’s Little Italy is the best. I’ve been there for dinner several times and they never disappoint. From the service to the food, everything is great. This past weekend, we had my sister’s bridal shower there. Tina the owner and her staff went above and beyond. We were able to arrive an hour and a half before our party to decorate. They even offered to hang a command hook on the wall so we could hang something. We had a brunch menu and Bellinis, mimosas & bloody Mary’s. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend giving them a try for lunch or dinner or if you are hosting a party. Can’t wait to go back again!“

“Excellent Italian in a very competitive restaurant scence in Rockville Center. Been there for decades and it is a local gem. The food is awesome but I do not like that they do not give pasta with an entree but rather give mashed potatoes. Pasta can be ordered ala carte. A little silly if you ask me but those are the rules. They close promply at 9pm and last order taken is at 830pm so be aware of that. Excellent wine list. Amarone choices are great.“

“Awesome food great friendly service one of our all time favorites“

“WOW....this is my new favorite restaurant!!!Our meal was absolutely DELICIOUS. Grilled Veal w vegtable & whipped potatoes literally melted in your mouth!
