“We've passed George White Restaurant so many times and finally stopped there to dine. What a great surprise. We both loved the decor; it reminded us of Saratoga NY. We were warmly greeted, and the service was outstanding. The cocktail was spot on, and the mussels were great with the warm bread. We devoured our Filet of Sole Francese and Rigatoni Bolognese. Very fairly priced as well, yes, we will return.“

“Rialto is the perfect restaurant for any setting. Whether you’re going out for a regular dinner date, celebrating your birthday, or going out on a business meeting, you should check this place out. Rialto is owned and run by one of the best chefs in the world and really has the best food I’ve ever had in my life. Try this place out and you will never stop coming back. Truly a hidden treasure.“

“By far one of the best Italian restaurants I have been to! Excellent service- food made to order. Chicken Scarpiello was so flavorful with a lot of garlic, herbs and a touch of lemon. Penne Ala Vodka one of the best I have ever tasted! Chicken Verde was so tender it melted in your mouth!!“

“Food is good. Service was a little slow due to there being only one server/bartender doing double duty. Went for a quick afternoon lunch. Sat outside which was nice. They have ample outdoor seating. Cocktails were not strong. So ended up sticking to wine for the balance of my drink orders.“

“I have to say this slice of pizza that I ordered that looks like a caprese salad and their garlic knots is phenomenal!!!!!! I wish I can remember the guy's name that's making the pizza but he's the man. I highly recommend this as a lunch item.“

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

“I just had my daughter’s baptism at Fabio’s. From the food to the service everything was amazing! My guests were raving about the food. We did family style and it was more than enough food. 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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best pizza in Port Washington.“

“My go to place for special occasions. Mike always makes us feel at home. Not only is the food fantastic, but the staff is helpful and kind. They even went out of their way to help my handicap mother get in and out of the car! Food is delicious and tons of variety when compared to the standard Italian restaurant. Great portions and even a decent amount of healthy options. Thank you to the staff for making my night even more special!“

“The meal was delicious. my son and I had the Penne Diane and asked for the chicken to be blackened which was perfect. my daughter had the Pesto Sole and said it was the best and my husband had the Snapper which was perfection.“

“We just had my wife’s 40th birthday dinner at Cassarinos and all of my guest raved about the food and how friendly the workers are. I was extremely happy with how they handled the party and the food is always top notch. Wonderful place for parties or even just to go out for a dinner date. Highly recommended“

“Excellent service food drink and ambience whether date night family night or flying solo. Italian Bistro done right. Took ole neighborhood lifetime pal Nick D'Agostino from the infamous Venezia de Notte on Central Ave in Yonkers and he dug L&P big time.“

“We had our daughter’s christening at Zona in January. Everything was wonderful. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. My family enjoyed the smaller private room with the bar and TVs. Gianna was super easy to work with and very accommodating. Thank you for everything!“

“Wonderful restaurant! Our waitress at the bar was so lovely, taught us about the restaurant name meaning “fireplace cave” in Italian, and showed us through the menu and even helped us order an off-menu favorite the cacio e pepe, which was very tasty and the perfect amount of al dente. We had a terrific classic Margarita pizza! You have to order a pizza if you come here its all about the wood fire oven! Love it!“

“The food was amazing. The service superb! What more could you want??!! This was our first time here - and we definitely will be back - loved it!“

“Excellent food we were greeted with warm welcome felt right at home. The food was incredible linguine with white clam sauce is out of this world. I had chicken marsala that was so tasty so tender my wife had veal Principe and it was awesome. Wish I had room for dessert, oh by the way, the drinks are off the charts.“

“We had a last minute reservation for 8 people, and we were lucky enough to snag a table. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE! Our entire table loved the food. From the appetizers (the warm bread, the amazing carmalized onion spread, & the Calamari), to the main courses (the NY strip steak, the shrimp, and the ravioli), to the dessert (trust me... get the bread pudding!) everything was impeccable. The service staff was also amazing, very attentive and kind. I will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“Service and deliciousness“

“Family place...always good...and very reasonable...like eating at momma's....Really a well kept secret by those who think food is more important than a perfectly lit room...must try....you will make friends there.“

“Great customer service! Went inside last minute and ordered a pie with pepperoni and sausage, and it was delicious! I haven't had good pizza like this in a while and I was surprised and impressed. The staff was very friendly and I'm sure to go back there as they have now become my go to spot for pizza.

Parking: Plenty of free parking in the lot.“

“Great food, great service! Will be back for sure!“

“A staple for us. We go here all the time. One of the best plain slices in all of New York City (and state probably!)

Parking: Can park around the corner of spots aren't available on plandome

Wheelchair accessibility: Should be good. I believe there's a double door to enter and at grade - no step up or down to order and for some of the tables in the front.“

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