“Restaurant Week menu was just as good as the regular menu and the portions were just as big. We had a really great waitress, Colleen, who was thoroughly attentive, cheerful, and polite. Thursday night is music night and we loved the duo...piano and singer. Their classic repertoire was really dining music and we thoroughly listening to them. All in all our evening at Centro was great!“

“A Mano has been one of our go to spots for years. They're consistently great. The only problem is, I keep ordering the same things because I like them so much. The mushroom pizza is to die for, their pastas are always perfect, and the atmosphere is romantic, perfect for date night. The place just has charm, and the staff is always super friendly, welcoming and attentive.“

“They were kind enough to let me and a friend have a lovely dinner very close to their Monday closing time. I had limoncello chicken and my friend veal parmigiana. The food was absolutely superb, delicious and cooked so well. Plates were so beautifully presented was a shame to take a bite. I had a beautiful glass of Chianti. What else could you ask for . The ladies taking care of us were attentive, kind and well spoken. I have no complaints at all. It was spectacular. Thank you so much

“Stumbled by this bistro in Southampton and decided to go in for lunch. To our pleasant surprise we had a wonderful meal with excellent wine pairings suggested by our server, we loved our lunch so much we decided on having dinner at their NYC location the next evening, needless to say it was magnificent! Looking forward to trying the other locations….“

“Absolutely love this place. My second time going and I can not wait to go back. Food was fantastic, and both times the staff was extremely pleasurable. Two thumbs up“

“We showed up for lunch, no reservation with a baby and child and they couldn't have been more hospitable. Who knew they have lovely outdoor tables away from the main street. That was a great start. Even better that the food was excellent. We had Branzino, cooked to perfection, and the lunch menu burger along with a proper Caesar salad. And our server was exceptional. Couldn't ask for more.“

“Creative specials using local, fresh ingredients. Extensive liquor and cocktail list. Busy bar and professional service always!“

“Really Italian food! Homemade pasta! U should go ❤️“

“Chef John Gambino and his team are welcoming. The service was excellent and he came around and visited the patrons at the tables and bar. His Sicilian cooking reminded me of my Sunday dinners at home. The filet of sole, vegetarian lasagna, caponata and eggplant parmigiana were delicious. Thank you for a great experience. Maria Pia“

“Great atmosphere and menu“

“Restaurant was packed as is usual at this time of the year.However the food,and service was not compromised. Fried artichokes were excellent,as was the arugula pizza,and egg plant pizza as well!
However for me as a gluten free Celiac customer, i needed gluten free pasta.Well they not only had it but it was the best I had ever had!!! It was the shrimp fra diavalo over ziti.Perfect heat to a firm pasta cooked perfectly in a separate pot as not to cross contaminate,now that's customer service !
If you want a terrific meal without stupid Hampton prices, come to this terrific local restaurant ,you won't be disappointed!“

“Tonino's is a great local pizzeria and soon to be full sit-down restaurant! I am very excited for their expansion - they deserve it! Their food is consistently good, staff is very polite and the atmosphere is very inviting. I truly enjoy the indoor-outdoor vibe with the accordion doors. As a year-round local, Tonino's is a go-to spot for great pizza, and Italian-American dishes. Make sure to stop by Tonino's and see their new renovation soon to be completed! 🍕🍕🍕“

“The Patio has been consistently the best place for good food on LI. Attentive and kind staff and incredible pasta & cheesecake. Best place for a date night!“

“I am a Shipt shopper and travel to Riverhead once or twice a week. After a long day, I always look for something fast, delicious, and satisfying. Since I love Italian food, I googled an Italian restaurant nearby and came across Lenny Pizza & Bistro.

My first visit was on September 22, 2025, when I ordered the baked ziti, sautéed spinach, and garlic knots. This was actually my first time ever having freshly baked garlic knots—and they were incredible! That entire meal was so delicious, I knew I’d be back.

On September 29, 2025, I returned and tried the meat lasagna with the sautéed spinach and garlic knots—it was absolutely perfect. Yesterday, I found myself craving that lasagna again and just had to go back. Once more, I ordered the meat lasagna, spinach, and garlic knots, and it was every bit as amazing as the last time.

The food here is consistently fresh, flavorful, and comforting—exactly what I need after a long workday. I can honestly say Lenny Pizza & Bistro has quickly become my go-to spot in Riverhead. Highly recommend!

“The Spanish food is delicious. I love their cheese pizza it's my favorite.
Everything is always fresh hot and delicious.
If you speak Spanish you have to come here. They have a wonderful variety of Spanish food.
They have one table so you can eat there. But the few times I've been there I always take it to go.

Wheelchair accessibility: I believe so. It's in a small shopping area with other stores. They have handicapped parking and a ramp.“

“We ordered Eggplant Rollatini, meatballs with spaghetti, salad and garlic bread with cheese....OMG it was so good. We will definitely go back!!“

“Lovely dinner with my family last night. Waitstaff could have came around to keep drinks full and make sure our needs were met. Food was delicious but someone needs to please clean that pizza oven. Burn bottom and crust was a bummer as everything else was very nice. Photo is my take home slices. All three pies were this way. Such a shame. My family came from MA.“

“Working in the area for several days and found this little gem nearby. We liked it so much this became our lunch spot for the week.

The first day I was craving lentils and they had lentil soup available. I had that with a side of sausages. I also had the fried chicken and vegetables from the hot food bar and then the fried rice. I liked it all. Apparently their pizza is pretty good as well.“
