“One of the best, if not the best restaurant in Bay Shore, period! The food is fabulous and the portions are tremendous. Try it for yourself and I bet you'll agree. Order the pork chop and see if you can finish it!“

“This is my new favorite spot for Italian!! As a local from KP we had not been back since this was Sal's, but clearly we waited too long.. Saturday night, got seated in 5 min, great service.. Owner checked in, and opened and poured the wine. Food was spot on, and did not wait long. Chicken Valdostana, fantastic, definitely recommend. Ambiance was cozy, not loud and décor had me wanting to book a trip to Tuscany. No time for dessert, but next time I'm ordering a Sambuca. Not pretentious, not over priced, just a great spot that clearly the owner has a lot of pride in. Thanks, we will be back! *Don't write reviews often, but this one is worth getting the word out.“

I decided to order a whole tray and take it home! We stopped by around 2:30. They didn't have any table service, so you ordered and brought it to your table. We didn't wait long for our food. The service was friendly. We will be back!! YUMMMMM“

Try the alpino it’s salami and Prosuitto in one slice???Fair priced most rolls are $9.00 cannot beat that when others price gouge they stayed loyal and fair to the customers. A & S is a Huntington staple. The meats are fresh try their chicken burgers the spinach ones are pretty thick and amazing so delicious also the hot foods that are made to take home are great quality. They carry a lot of specialties I cannot find anywhere else. Also they carry Manhattan special reg & diet soda it’s Italian espresso soda..if you haven’t tried one.. Please do, it’s a borough thing! Black cherry is my fav. Thank me later ??❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️????????“

“We, thankfully, had a reservation on a Saturday night. We had a spacious table for 4. Brittany was our waitress. She was wonderful. She introduced herself, took our drink orders, gave us time to look over the menu, told us about the specials, was attentive to make sure we had everything we needed and wanted. The appetizers she suggested were delicious. The courses were nicely spaced apart. Each course was cleared from the table before the next course was served. We never felt rushed. The food was excellent. Atmosphere was quiet to enjoy a conversation. We will certainly be returning.

Parking: We used the valet parking.“

“Great people , awesome fresh food at a convenient location.“

“Great consistent food. Priced very fairly. Great atmosphere. Enjoy seeing Todd O and Richie. It's like the 90s and Sprats. We are just missing Danny S.“

“Just like the golf course this venue is one of the best hidden gems on Long Island! Beautiful room. Great staff. Amazing food. What more could you ask for?“

“First time good food nice staff“

“Ate here for the first time this past Friday 12/6. Walked in and loved the decoration of the interior of the restaurant. We ordered the Crostini for an appetizer, and I got the Mezzelune Al Tartufo and my Fiancee got Strozzapreti Gratinati for our main dishes. For Dessert we got the Apple cake. Our waiter recommended the Apple cinnamon old fashioned. Everything was phenomenal. I can’t wait to go back. They should promote that there is parking in the back so people don’t drive by if their isn’t parking in the front.“

“Staff were very attentive food was delicious nice atmosphere.“

“Omg I was breath taken ! this place is really hidden but yet it was so stunning as soon as you walk in you feel this feeling of home and happiness ! this place is run by a Christian family who makes everything big or small with love ! which tastes amazing by the way ? the service is amazing so everyone who serves you is so polite , sweet and friendly whether they are making your food or taking your order or cleaning the place to maintain it all nice and fresh for the daily customers that come in ! literally my go to place always and forever will be !“

“My wife and I attended a wine tasting dinner event at Villa Sorrento and I have to say it was absolutely superb. The owner Sal and his wife were present and oversaw the entire event. Made us feel very welcome. The wine choices were spectacular and the dinner was just as spectacular. Great waiter staff, great chef and atmosphere. Highly recommend this family operated restaurant. Five stars across-the-board“

“Ok I'm not from Huntington Station or NY but after eating a heavenly pizza from Marco's I now want to move here. If you have a craving for a genuine NY pizza this is where you want to go. My photo is a takeout house special... was perfecto!“

“Service was outstanding!!! Nice atmosphere.. First time there, food was amazing definitely going back..“

“They say authentic Italian Americans don't enjoy the Olive Garden. They are terribly mistaken. The salad is of course legendary, complete with just spicy enough pepperoncini. The meatballs are not as good as my grandmother's (that is an insurmountable aspiration anyway) but excellent. The wine list was excellent as well, with the usual more pedestrian selection of Cabernet, Merlot and Pinot Noir. We chose the Chianti, delicious. Our chicken dish was not only delicious but great for low-carb keto dieters. The staff at this location was beyond nice with the manager coming around to check on each and every table and the place was fairly crowded.“

“We had an amazing chicken cutlets sandwich w/mozzarella and tomatos thinly sliced on a hero and the bread was fresh and crunchy on the outside.... we also had a mozzarellas/red peppers/black olives salad.... delicious and the Coffee was so tasty!!!! Both me and my g/f always use sugar in our coffee , but here we didn’t even need it!!!! It was delicious!!!! The crew are so nice!!!! I recommend this place !!!! You could take out or eat in . They have a few tables that you can sit down at... it’s really cute!!!!! Enjoy!!!!!!“

“Every time I go service is fantastic, family style portions are huge and food is fantastic. One of my top five restaurants on L.I. The fried calamari is second to none, Shrimp Parm, linguini w clams, veal chop are all must tries.“

“One of the best authentic Pizza loving, cheezy, perfect crispy doughs I have come across. The stuffed pizzas are stuffed just right, the portions are a nice size, shareable as well. The prices are reasonable and the staff are super friendly. ? Their pizza is delicious dinning in or at home and reheated the next day.“

“This pizzeria restaurant has delicious pies. Marconys has a nice restaurant side. The food is delicious. The owner is from Italy. We’ve been getting our pizza here and decided to cater a few dishes. Let me say , I am extremely picky with eggplant parmigiana. I usually make time consuming dish but I did not have the time. Marcony’s eggplant parm was the best ever. My kids keep raving about it. We also had the chicken franchise that was tender and delicious! We will be ordering here again very soon.“

“My wife and are a new to Smithtown and have been making our rounds trying the various restaurants nearby. Last week was Casa Rustica. Went early on a Thursday(5pm). First ones in there and greeted nicely by the Mgr/owner?? Ordered a bottle of red and some apps/entrées. Everything was delicious! From the mussel special to the swordfish livornaise. This will become one of our " go to's". Thank you!“

“Great food and friendly staff. Deceivingly spacious compared to other similar venues. While prices are really not unusual they could be seen as a bit on the higher side, but the portions are pretty tremendous so could easily be a second mail with take home.“

“Always awesome and delicious!!!“

“The cocunut shrimp served with an orange ginger dipping sauce. Nicely cooked with the perfect crisp. However, the soup of the day spinach, egg, and chicken broth was too salty. The atmosphere was great and the Italian music was very nice. They serve a big portion of salad. I loved the warm, crunchy, and sliced bread with butter. Good service, nice big windows that open outwards, a family owned business with over 30 years on the same location.

Parking: Free parking on the back of the restaurant. The paid street parking meter is a quarter for an hour.“

“As the official pizza judge of Long Island I like this place. Small shop but power taste. No happy hello but I respect the confidence. Tough crowd but, the grandma slice was loud. Place is to the point. No sugar coating. I didnt find the regular slice appealing. I settled for a grandma slice. Solid 4 outta 5. Slightly sweet , crunchy and the dough is flavorful. Spanish speaking is a plus.“

“This was my spot growing up in East islip. Great food and people! Always grab a slice when I’m home“

“Best pizza hands down..I ordered birthday dinner for my twin boys..from the PIZZAS to the wings and salad and dessert...my family all enjoyed every bite..thank you for opening in Holtsville..congratulations and I'll be back“
