“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!“

“It was my first time eating at Olive Garden and I must say, it wasn't half bad. Our server was great and very attentive, and seemed to always be right there when we needed refills or more bread. Like I said, this was my first time eating at Olive Garden but Based on this experience, I'd go back. Of course there was one nit. The table across from us had 4 8-10 year girls that decided to stand in the isle and perform a routine either dance class or cheer class.“

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!“

“Friendly service Excellent food“

“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“

“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!“

“My dining experience with friends this past Saturday was a fantastic culinary experience with the new addition to the menu, arugula almond pesto pasta with fresh tuna . A northern Italian recipe that is done with perfection. I choose the Cesar salad to accompany the main dish. The end of the night was a classic cappuccino and the special dessert mascarpone cheesecake with fresh berries with maple syrup , and four forks to share a sweet treat at the end of the night. Highly recommend the new addition to the menu for Spring and Summer dining.“
