“We had an amazing night celebrating my wife’s surprise 60th birthday celebration. Not only was the food, service and atmosphere amazing…..we could not have pulled this off without Elsa. She was there every step of the way and so pleasant. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. It was flawless! Elsa, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You made us feel like family.“

“I can not believe that this restaurant has been here on Main Street in Port Jefferson Village for over 20 years and I never ate there!!! This is my new Favorite place to eat. The food was exceptional and good size portions. The pita bread they put out on the table was so delicious I could have made that my meal. The service was extremely attentive and so personable. The Owner came around greeting everyone and made us feel like we were all family having dinner together. I am looking forward to my next visit.“

“Yes!, but I have been there a few times all have been great but this last time. The food was salty. I mean every dish. We spoke to manager who was extremely nice. Apologize and did the right thing. But I will go back for sure“

“These guys are the best! They make you feel like a king when you walk in and treat you like family! God bless 🇺🇸“

“Visited this restaurant after show at Bellport Playhouse. Very nice inside and the service was amazing. My husband enjoyed his Filet Mignon, he loved it! My meal on the other hand, chicken della casa was not good at all. The chicken was so bland I couldn't eat it. I should have sent back but didn't by that point I lost my appetite. I did order the dessert tiramisu which was really good. I would go back but next time I would try another dish.“

“Amazing food Nicest people Very clean Obsessed with their rigatoni rustica Grilled chicken panini Grilled chicken salad French fries and bbq sauce 😋 Yummmmmmm“

“This place is up there with Michelin star restaurants in my opinion. Very very impressed .
I got the Carpaccio - the rabbit - and then the duck. All of which were prepped very very nicely . Carpaccio is some of the best I’ve had. Great high quality ingredients , along with incredible flavor profiles, and very nice ambiance.
Will be coming back.

“Delicious food from start to finish. Wonderful service (we had Gina but all others were great as well) and Friday night they had a singer and had the whole restaurant singing together. Comfy intimate spot that I will definitely return to.“

“I don't know how I missed this hidden gem in St.James, but I was fortunate to have dinner there last night. A small, but intimate restaurant, almost missed it traveling from south to north on Moriches Rd. Not your typical menu that you would find in your average Modern Italian restaurant. Delicious, authentic italian regional dishes, like mama made. Interesting appetizers to wondetful pasta dishes, and the braised beef over polenta was incredible. You can bring your own wine, and the wait staff was very attentive, great place, looking forward to returning!“

“Love the food. Service and atmosphere.“

“This is my fiancé and mine official favorite restaurant of st.James and surrounding areas! Always great food and staff, we have even used their catering and the owner Sal always comes over and says hi! Keep it small and make sure you come to this amazing small business. Skip the sushi and big chain restaurants 😂“

“The best Italian around from the best family in the business! It was so nice to dine here again after quite some time and it was even better than I remembered!“

“My wife and I went in to give this place a try and were very pleasantly surprised. The service was very good, the restaurant is neat and clean. The FOOD is exceptional. We have been back a few times and we are always trying different meals with the same result… absolutely delicious.“

“Staff and food were amazing. High recommended“

“My new favorite place in Port Jeff! Food is delicious, staff are great!! I used to manage an Italian restaurant in Manhattan, I tend to scrutinize restaurants, 2 thumbs up for Pasta Pasta, say it again!!! 😋 🍽 🍷“

“Had my bridal shower here and it was a dream! The food is delicious and the staff is wonderful. The catering manager Byron is a pleasure to work with and was so accommodating! Our guests can’t stop talking about how great the event was!“

“Absolutely excellent, pleasantly surprised“

“Just picked up food to go the Bolognese with Angel hair pasta for the 2nd time since Sunday, my wife got the Chicken parm dinner and had ordered Lasagna this past Sunday absolutely AMAZING, thank you so much I drove 1/2 hr away just to get it! Well worth it!!! Thank you !“

“Food was delicious and nice presentation!“

“A little too saucy but I must say, amazing customer service. We picked up a large pizza and met my fiance down by the bay to eat while the kids played. I called and told them the pizza wasn't even cut fully, so we were unable to eat it. Mainly my kids because one has sensory issues and can not have cheese hanging out everywhere or else we would have just ripped it apart. They actually drove down to the bay and cut it for us!!!!!! Outstanding“

“We attended a party on a Saturday, about 25 people. The food, service and presentation was very good. The staff couldn’t be more attentive and helpful. I loved the way food was family style at every table. Thank you to all the staff, great job.“

“One of our favorite spots to grab casual dinner with the family. Service is good and price is pretty good too. The chicken parmigiana dinner comes with choice of soup or salad or pasta. Pasta Fagoli is some of the best around reminds me of my Nana’s. Go check it out they don’t take reservations but even on busy nights the wait is no longer than 15-20 mins.“

“Love their food. Just not happy with the pizza“

“The food here is great and the people are amazing. My husband and I had our wedding catered by CP Lamannos and I can’t even begin to tell you about the compliments we received. Michelle and her staff are the best!!! Please don’t take my word for it come down to the restaurant and try it for yourself.“

“Happened upon this restaurant while visiting Port Jefferson. And glad we did. Got here early enough that we could get a table right away. Steve took great care of us without being overbearing. We started off with the stuffed mushrooms, which were so freaking good. For main course my husband got the Chicken & Sausage Scarpiello, and I had the Veal Scallopini - both were delicious. We finished off sharing the Rainbow Cookie Cheesecake. This exceeded my expectations. Everything was so good that my husband wants to go back tomorrow!“

“Really nice place with a rustic, romantic vibe. The food and service was excellent. Served hot and nicely portioned. Cesar salad was your with anchovies and dressed just right. Artichoke and spinach flatbread appetizer was excellent also.
My girlfriend got the Tuscan chicken over spaghetti and was a really nice portion. It needed a little salt but otherwise was perfect. I got the orrechetti with sausage and broccoli rabe and was very good. Sausage could have been cooked a little less and there could have been more broccoli rabe, but was still enjoyable. One other thing, they asked if I wanted cheese sprinkled on top, which I loved, but they used the wrong cheese. Instead of sprinkling grated Romano, they spooned on shredded parmesan. Not really appropriate for that dish.

“My husband gets Too Good to Go from you guys weekly. I had to leave and review and say that the BBQ Chicken Slice is amazinggggggggggg. Absolutely amazing. Everything from you guys is great, but this slice is on another level! 🤌🏻😚💕“

“Service and staff are excellent. The dinners we had tonight were outstanding! Definitely will be returning for another great night out❤️“

“It was my first time dining here, and I was very pleased! We split the fried calamari arrabiata style, and I had the chicken mannino, which was a lighter dish cause of the vinegarette as opposed to a thicker sauce. My family enjoyed their dishes as well, and of course we saved room for dessert. The captain jack cake has become my top 5 favorite dessert of all time, and we will definitely dine here again! Shout out to Dawn, what a lovely waitress!“

“Whether you dine in or order pizza to go, you will be happy you went to Mama's. I love coming here on pasta nights (Monday and Tuesday) for the (very reasonably) fixed price meals that include soup/salad, entree, dessert, and wine. There's always enough to re heat for lunch the next day. If you have friends from out of town that want to try real long island pizza you should order from Mama's. I moved away and I cry every time I eat their za. The servers are so hard working and friendly. Shout out to Christy!! She's killing it!! Ps - pasta nights get BUSY so it would be smart to make a reservation.“

“😀This is the third party he has catered for us. Sooo good. Thank you!!“

“Such a wonderful experience! We had the blackened tuna done perfectly, ordered 5 different pasta dishes all perfection not to mention the lemon cake and creme brulee was perfect!“

“Thank for my roast beef and mashed potato and my buffalo blue pizzas 🍕 yesterday, my husband was so happy I bought his two favorites back to Pennsylvania for him! They travel great and always delicious 😋“

“Ate at this location for the first time Saturday night. We have been to the original Westbury location several times. The food and service are exemplary ! We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Highly recommend this hidden gem ! 10 out of 10“

“This was my spot growing up in East islip. Great food and people! Always grab a slice when I’m home“

“My wife and I had a delightful dinner here during a Thursday evening late last month. When we arrived, we were glad that we had made a reservation, because most tables were occupied already. Live music was provided by a cover band playing popular tunes from a variety of eras: it was well-received by the patrons, some of whom even danced! Several members of the staff alternated serving us; all were pleasant and helpful. Our food - pasta primavera and wonderful, warm bread - was delicious, as were our wine and beer. I look forward to the possibility of another meal here, if we visit the area again.“

“Took my girlfriend here for dinner. Unassuming place right in the shopping center. We were seated immediately and were given nice bread. The chicken special I had was really excellent, and my girlfriend enjoyed her pasta. I honestly didn’t think the food would be as great as it was considering half of the place is a pizzeria. Service was really good as well. I will definitely return!“

“Always awesome and delicious!!!“

“I attended an event Friday night and this place blew me away on so many levels. The food was amazing, but the service was even better. Between Kaitlyn giving me a sample of one of the wines because I told her I was picky about wine and Zack accommodating an absolutely ridiculous request, they were all just amazing people. I’m autistic and I make some ridiculous requests sometimes, but Zack didn’t even bat an eye. I have pet rats and I saw that broccoli rabe was on the menu as a side, so I asked if I could take home like a single piece and he didn’t even blink, he just said to remind him before I left. I will definitely be patronizing them in the future“

“there customer service is a trip ! been waiting over an hour for a slice when they told me 30 mins. unbelievable this is the last time I will order from here.“

“Friendly service and delicious food.“

“This place is for the foodies! We dinned at the Patchogue Location on a Saturday 4pm and had the place to ourselves which was nice. We ordered The Sals fried chicken bowl with caesar salad, it was so good! we also ordered the mac & cheese and this was probably one of the best i’ve ever had, 10/10 must try. The parmesan truffle fries are perfectly crisp and delicious. The risotto balls were also very good! Our server Gianna R was so sweet and attentive. Highly recommended this place. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️e“

“They have been working with so many families in need. They are helping feed Long Island families while the SNAP program is still not being funded. In addition to a friendly eatery that truly cares about people their food is amazing. So many options to choose from! Stop by and say hello, grab some delicious food and help spread the love. Donate today or share their mission to feed Long Island families in need during this difficult time. No child should ever be hungry.“

“Each time we return to this restaurant it gets better. The food is delicious, service impeccable, and ambience just perfect. But more than that is the personalized care that goes into everything they do. Elaine and Enzo just never disappoint. A class act!“
