I was visiting New York and had dinner here with friends. It was fantastic. The bread basket has a variety of breads in it. The appetizer was marvelous. My dinner was fantastic I had the linguine clams. It was too much to eat but it was delicious. I would absolutely come here again! Make reservations!

We ordered the Chilean sea bass special. It tasted like fishy spoiled fish. The cod was very tough. Oddly tough. The caesar salad was good as were the mussels. But the fish was horrible. Very disappointing.

One of my favorite places to come for date nights with my boyfriend! Love the food and service!

Just attended a 50th anniversary luncheon for about 20+. Great menu of appetizers, salad, penne, choice of entrees, and cake/pastries. As always, great food and friendly/professional service. Valet parking is a plus.

Great service with wonderful food. I found they had a lot of regular Italian dishes with some I have never seen before!

Parking: The parking lot is small, so it could be tough to find parking on site, although plenty of patrons parked in the bank parking lot next door.

Busy Saturday night crowd. Delicious chicken entree and artichoke appetizer. Warm, friendly, accommodating excellent service. Clean and comfortable. Had a reservation and was seated upon arrival.
Loved the Fall decorations and pretty flowers inside and out. Enjoyed the cotton candy they put on the table at the end of your meal. Sweet touch. Highly recommend and will be back for sure.

This is a local gem that always hits the spot. We showed up for lunch and it did not disappoint.
The kids did their prefixe menu as did we. We started off with fried calamari, mozzarella in carrozza . The children had the ravioli and penne Alla vodka. I had the braised short ribs with polenta and my wife had the eggplant Parm with spaghetti. Everything was delicious and plentiful. The kids ordered ice cream and hot chocolate from their prefixe and I had the peach ravioli and the wife ordered creme brulee. The waiter Harman was on the ball he was super friendly and checked up on us often. He made the kids day by showing them how the cotton candy was made. This place is great. Highly recommend it ! Kid friendly is definitely a plus for our family when we go out to eat .

Final thought ,the sangria is great and they serve it in a caraffe and do not water it down with the ice and fruit. The ice and fruit is brought to the table in the wine glasses.

I came here for a bridal shower and the food was the best. I would have ate 2 more dish’s of the gf pasta with marinara if I could, and the free cotton candy at the end was a nice surprise.

Dietary restrictions: The chicken and gluten free pasta was the best.

The service was excellent; however, the food was only slightly above average. Octopus appetizer was excellent; however, artichokes were not as tasty as I hoped. My chilean sea bass tasted a bit fishy and the walnut crusted sauce was just whole walnuts placed on top of my fish. I asked for another nut crust since I'm allergic to almonds. This was not a crusted coating which I expected. It was simply walnuts placed on the fish. The plus of the evening was the service and the noise level was very high, making dinner conversation difficult.

The service was excellent. We ate outside and it was a beautiful night. The food was very good and the drinks were tasty, but only a few beers.Great traditional Italian food and pretty good portions. They lose a star for the prices. I can't do a $27 Chicken Parm or a $15+ Bisque. The free cotton candy at the end was a nice touch. We got a 15% off next visit coupon when we left, but I don't see it. Mangia

Parking: Free Valet Parking. Almost Mandatory on Jericho Tpke. Nice kids, hustled.

I'm having dinner at this establishment. I became an unwitting witness to an unpleasant incident related to takeaway food. very rude boorish attitude of waiters Please keep this in mind before visiting this establishment. dislike to employee and manager From the outside it looked very ugly.???

I came. I'm in the restaurant for my order, while I was waiting I was talking on the phone, your waiter comes up to me And asks me to leave the establishment, because I was talking on the phone, a crazy waiter. I will never return to this restaurant again. And I ordered dinner for the whole family and the amount was quite large. I would really like to ask the management of this establishment to look into this incident and this particular waiter. I think everything is visible on camera.
