My friend did a price fixed with filet of sole and said it was delicious. The brussel sprouts appetizer was excellent. We also started with fried calamari, though small portion, was good.

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.

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“

“Maroni's is as good as you've heard. If you're not from the Northport area, they're worth the trip.
If I had to make a suggestion, make reservations for the complete tasting menu, guaranteed you won't leave unsatisfied!
in an era where service is an afterthought, you'll feel at home, as if family is joining you for an experience as opposed to strangers forced to take care of you.“

“We came here for weekday lunch. Our server Emily was amazing! She was exceptionally personable and communicated with us about delays in the kitchen since the restaurant was serving a large party. She continued to check up on us and was very sweet. Eggplant rollatini and cheesy garlic bread were delicious appetizers. For entrees, we had the penne alla vodka (portion was a bit smaller than expected) as well as the chicken marsala, chicken parm, and arugula pie, which were all good. This place is a bit pricy but it is an upper/mid range Italian restaurant. The actual dining area is cozy and intimate. They have a cute bar area upon walking in. Parking lot is a bit cramped but doable. We had a great time!“

“Nice Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Farmingdale. I went on a Friday night with some friends, we had drinks, appetizers, and obviously main courses. Everything was good from the bay clams to the fried calamari and the muscles with a basil cream sauce. For dinner, also Buco, chicken, Parm, Bronzino, and eggplant dish, and a chicken and sausage platter were served. The weight staff was excellent. They were constantly offering us more drinks topping off the glasses of water. Dessert and coffee was later served overall we had a very enjoyable evening. Vespa  in Farmingdale is essentially located near the Nassau County Suffolk County border. It's a great meet up spot for friends who live in Suffolk County and as well friends who live in Nassau. I would definitely recommend Vespa in Farmingdale. I recently read that they opened up a second location. I will definitely be back to this location. Bon appétit. “

“Hands down best Italian food on Long Island“

“The food is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!“

“Excelente restaurante, la comida exquisita y muy buen servicio. Lo recomiendo 100%“

“We have been coming to Jonathan's for many years. It is always excellent. There is a reason why they continue to thrive after 3+decades in business. We shared the prosciutto and artichoke with Parmesan appetizer...delicious. I had the cacio e Pepe which was perfect. My husband had the halibut special, which he loved. Try the amazingly fresh crème brûlée for desert. Outstanding meal.“

“the chicken burgers though 🤗“

“The atmosphere and food is delicious.“

“Delicious food with super friendly service. I've been a few times over the past years, but my friends come all the time. Meatballs are super yummy, the chopped salad was really good- even my son ate it and he doesn't like many salads, the penne with veggies is light and super good, mozzarella sticks were flavourful as was the accompanying sauce. I also enjoyed the white sangria and cranberry juice.

Vegetarian options: I can't speak on all veggie options, but there was this penne dish that had lots of vegetables, broccoli, spinach, sliced garlic. It was light and oh so good! Also, the chopped salad was pretty good. That pasta though, AMAZING!“

“Want to thank the folks at Tre Scalini for helping me organize a funeral luncheon for my brother in law’s mom. They are not from the area and tasked us with finding a place near Pine Lawn. The team was easy to work with, accommodated all of the family’s allergies and was affordable. We can’t thank them enough! Highly recommend.“

“had the eggplant, sausage, meatball pep slice, cheese, all were excellent. now gonna try the chic Frances dinner, we'll see“

“Such a nice place almost want to keep it a secret 5 stars Hands down thank you“

“Don’t listen to these bad reviews about this place. The pizza is delicious. Anyone who is giving bad reviews over politics doesn’t belong giving reviews at all. Reviewing This place is about Pizza, service how good the experience was and people should keep it that way. The last I checked, they weren’t asking you to vote when you came to pick up a pizza so please get over it.

The owner is very passionate about what he does. The people that work there are as friendly as can be. They make an excellent pizza. All the food is good Even the desserts, try the Saint Joseph’s !

And for the person that commented about the drive-through window. It’s actually been there for years and years because it was a hamburger place prior to Marcos Called Burger Haven, sort of like a drive-in now converted into a pizzeria so when the owner bought the place, what was he going to do seal the window? lol that would be a bad business move. It’s actually convenient for most people that want to pick up a pie. I am from Brooklyn and I know good pizza and his pizza in the area is one of the best at a reasonable price. He makes a good crust & if you’re feeling adventurous, Try the clam pie. It’s very very good.“
