In the heart of Farmingdale, on Main Street is this Vespa. It's a huge place and generally walk-ins are welcome. All in all food is fine. The stuffed mushrooms and the Mediterranean fish fillet were good. The Chicken rollatine was average. The problem is they make too many items to perfect any one of them. Also, the place is pricey! Dinner for 2 with 1 drink each, costed us around $138.

Stopped by Vespa Italian Kitchen & Bar with friends and left impressed. The staff gave excellent wine recommendations, and the appetizers were delicious. The atmosphere felt modern and relaxed, making it a great place for both casual dinners and celebrations.
