Food was good. Nice selection of entree. Eggplant lasagna app was excellent First time here. Regulars seemed to be welcomed more than we were as a newcomer.
Gus and Enzo went out of their way to make our night very special for our group. Manny was our waiter and he was outstanding as well. The food was excellent and the service was even better. We ate almost everything on the menu as a collective group. I would highly recommend hosting a party or event, but it is also the perfect spot for a date night if you want to have genuine classic Italian food. Buon appetito tutti!
interesting wine list...orange sauce..delicious..pesto sauce..not to be missed...this is a hidden gem
You're greeted with a smile, the food is simply great and so is the service. Our go to on Long Island ... Hands down !
The fried calamari and fried artichokes were not good. The 3 of the 4 pastas we ordered had broth, not sauce. The service was poor. Our waiter wasn't very warm and we felt like we were being rushed through our meal. She actually said "we have hundreds of people we're serving tonight" and rolled her eyes even though we had a reservation and we were well under 2hrs of being there. And, there were at least 5 empty tables in the restaurant at that time. Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend it and we're definitely not coming back.
Always a pleasure to have dinner at LA Ginestra, the food is always delicious. We had the Swordfish and Porkchop, both entrees were delicious! Thank you Gus and your staff!
From the delicious food to the friendly great service, it is consistently a pleasure to dine at La Ginestra . Our favorite!
Always fun and great food! The grilled artichokes are delicious and the Eggplant Lasagna my favorite! Must have Napoleon cut by Manny and the tartufo for dessert!
The food was outstanding. The waitress was rushed and over looked the mash potatoes that had dairy, which I'm allergic to. Didn't ask if we wanted more tea or coffee. Too many tables for her to cover. Great menu. Other staff was welcoming and friendky. A nice homey atmosphere! Would love tl come back!
La Ginestra is the total dining experience: great food, of course; enough variation in the wine list for you to find one you'll enjoy with your meal; excellent service rounding our the overall inviting ambience. Highly recommended.

The food and drinks were delicious, the service was excellent, and I would totally recommend.
Dinner was fantastic we had the Berkshire Chop, homemade tagliatelle and the appetizer zucchini flowers were delicious. Followed by an incredible delicious napoleon so light and crunchy. It's what a Saturday dinner should always be.
Great , fresh Italian home cooking. The meatballs and spaghetti on Sunday was one of the best I ever had
Got to stay in the upstairs room with several kids. They were able to move around without bothering everyone. Better experience for everyone.
