Really good food. Interesting dishes we have not had elsewhere. However their prices are astronomical. I ordered a pasta dish which was supposed to be with shrimp. It had four small shrimp over a spaghetti loaded with veggies. It was tasty but not for $47.00 in a local place. My wife had a chicken dish with enough mashed potatoes to serve three people. That took away from the plate and the presentation. I could have ordered potatoes with a small side of chicken. I am sorry I came there this evening as when I got the bill to pay on my card they neglected to provide the breakdown.

As always, food is delicious. Thank you to Byron for absolutely excellent service. And Gary, a wonderful bartender.

By far the best!

The best Italian restaurant in the area. In fact I don’t know of a better place for Italian food since my Nanny passed away.

The food was great. There was a party going on and the music was a little loud but we had a great time.

This is a really delicious Italian restaurant on the South Shore of Long Island just north of Long Beach. Open for lunch everyday with regular specials.

You should consider if have a large party and/or have young children. They are very accommodating.

Food was fresh and delicious.

Service was excellent. All staff were very attentive.

Clean restaurant, clean bathroom that has paper towels to dry your hands.

Parking can be tough in the evening and summertime.

We had a birthday dinner for our friend last night. The waiter was non existence. He was serving drinks at the bar, sitting at a back table on his phone or just vanished. Here’s the thing chasing down my waiter 3-4 times makes the experience so much less enjoyable for me personally. I feel like it’s a women thing and I would hate to believe that , but well it just might be true. It was pretty empty there as well. You cannot take away the yumminess of our meal though, but I wasn’t happy , so I will wait a few long months and try it again.
It’s just not a good look. Sorry to report..

4th visit. Not as good as the last three, but still tasty. Luciano calamari was a teeny bit over but good. Arrabbiatia is better.
Veal Francese was a little bland but perked up with a pinch or two of salt. Leftovers were great on a baguette next day.
My brother says it's still the best chicken Parm!
Unusually long delay between app and mains.
$5 is really steep for a bar cola which was mostly flat. Don't order it.
