“My wife and I are pizza fanatics specifically Neapolitan style. A hybrid gas, wood fire grill that makes a near perfect pie. We split a Margherita and Mushroom pie.

The Cesar salad was great, a touch of lemon zest and crispy lettuce.

The meatballs were high quality and this is coming from a self proclaimed meatball master.

This place is an absolute MUST!“

My daughter Victoria and I stopped by this Olive Garden at 1246 Old Country Road, and we had a wonderful experience. Our server, Ariana, was excellent—very attentive, friendly, and professional. The manager, Margarita, was also amazing and made sure everything was perfect.
The food was delicious and came out very fast, which we truly appreciated. We enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere and the outstanding attention we received throughout our visit.
We definitely will be coming back. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

“Went to the Farmingdale location last night, service was fast and great, drinks were tasty, food was excellent!“

“Dinner was great. When the waiter came to take our order we wanted to just order the appetizers and then continue to figure out what we wanted for dinner and we were told we had to place the entire order together. We have been here many times and never had to do that before so we had to quickly figure out our meal so we could get some food. The food is always good we were a party of five. We hope they change the way they require the entire order together be placed.“

“Franina's Restaurant, one of the premier Italian eateries on Long Island, offers consistently fresh, high-quality cuisine and attentive, friendly service. Their extensive Italian wine selection, housed in an impressive cellar, complements any meal. Customers are guaranteed satisfaction, no matter their order. The only potential drawback is the sometimes challenging parking situation.“

“Can I please give 20 Stars???
The food is amazing
The service is amazing
Andy is like the guru of this place every time
I have yet to get anything here that wasn't other than terrific.
On the Butcher items - am I that good a chef? Well according to family and friends yes!! But put that aside if the cuts are junk the result is too

A&S Huntington is my go to always - I literally go there 3-4 times a month sometimes more“

“We moved off Long Island over 8 years ago and always loved la Parma when we lived here even though it was an hour drive for us to enjoy the amazing food. This time when we came up to visit for Christmas we knew we had to get there for a great dinner. I can easily say it still is one of the best places to get amazing Italian food around. The Chicken Napoli was phenomenal and there is nothing like their penne à la vodka! The drinks were great and service was top notch. We also happened to go the day after Christmas when we got lots of snow and the car valet even brushed off our car! We were so happy to not feel rushed because we were there with great friends and just really enjoying ourselves! We can’t wait to come back and visit from Georgia to have their food again!“

“the chicken burgers though 🤗“

“Hands down, one of the finest restaurants on the North Shore. Be sure to make a reservation, as it's intimate. Top notch Chef with a staff to match.“

“My best friend and I have been coming to Piccolo for over 10 years, we came upon it after a long shopping day. We were famished and had one of the most delicious meal. Fast forward to today, it has been the place where we always meet for girls night, commemorating key life events such as the night before I got engaged and my friends 30th birthday. The food, ambiance and service is incredible, kudos to the management here.“

“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“

“So good. We have been going there for 20+ yrs and it's always great. Love the fact that I can get half portions of the pasta dishes. My staple “go to” pasta is always the Linguine Nere Con Gamberi but this time I got (half portion of) the Cacio E Pepe. So good! Our friends had the lamb chops and the Chilean sea bass which were also excellent. Cocktails are always amazing too.“

Oh!! And for the introverted people like myself, as of either yesterday or today, they can be found on GrubHub!! Great news for those of us who don’t like being on the phone :)“

Forgot the softest fluffy Gnocchi with meat sauce on the side !! Don’t forget them !!“

“Amazing experience for first time at the Southold location. Same delicious food and great music as in Northport.\nTonight we had an option for a mini tasting menu and start to finish all was amazing. Kristin in front of house and our server Gabriel were wonderful as well. Service with a smile to say the least. \nAnd to end with the best crème brûlée made this birthday dinner an absolute treat. \nSuch a gem in Southold.“

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

“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!“

“Fun time with friends! Our waiter Puma was excellent!“

“I was at 711 in Lindenhurst and the owner of kickn chicken was extremely drunk and being very racist towards me and my friend.. we were speaking in our native language Polish.. and he started saying you fn Russian need to leave and wanted to fight me..his girlfriend was extremely embarrassed of his actions. she had her head down... I wouldn't give this man any business.“
