“Excellent service, fabulous food. We went on Parmigiana night...which is a special menu: salad or soup, entree(chicken , eggplant, veal or shrimp parm) and dessert for $28 or $32, such a great deal. We decided on salads, veal and shrimp parm, with sides of spaghetti and spinach. Italian cheesecake and cannoli for dessert. Everything was delicious. Lovely atmosphere. You can also order from the regular menu if you're not interested in the special menu, but it's such a great deal...I don't know why anybody would choose otherwise.“

“Incredible. One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Every dish was better than the last. The fried little necks were next level and that’s coming from a native New Englander. Can not recommend enough.

The chef is owner as well and cares about every single thing that leaves his kitchen. The prices are beyond reasonable. You can truly tell he just wants to give people an incredible meal at a fair price.

If you are in the area or are traveling, this is a must stop.“

“I was in town for business for one day. We stumbled upon this place and instantly knew we had found a winner. The young ladies at the counter were warm and welcoming. They didn’t hesitate to make suggestions and help us decide. The Chicken Parm was one of the best I have ever had and the portions are huge. The pizza was amazing (highly suggest the buffalo chicken). If you are looking for a true small town restarting, this is your place. Thank you. I will definitely
Be back if given the chance.“

Both me and my g/f always use sugar in our coffee , but here we didn’t even need it!!!! It was delicious!!!! The crew are so nice!!!! I recommend this place !!!! You could take out or eat in . They have a few tables that you can sit down at... it’s really cute!!!!! Enjoy!!!!!!“

“Just had dinner and Marvin was our server. He was absolutely amazing. Beyond friendly and made sure we always had every refill (from soup to drinks) to make our dinner perfect! Marvin was also friendly and made our dinner experience fantastic!“

“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.“

“Thank you for taking care of us at our daughter’s graduation party! We had the most amazing time! The food and service was top notch!“

“The veggie was loaded!

The owner(s) know what they're doing. Dunno if they are chain, but they will make a Bronx-win if they replace the (bland) cheese.

Better service than most *****“

“We, thankfully, had a reservation on a Saturday night. We had a spacious table for 4. Brittany was our waitress. She was wonderful. She introduced herself, took our drink orders, gave us time to look over the menu, told us about the specials, was attentive to make sure we had everything we needed and wanted. The appetizers she suggested were delicious. The courses were nicely spaced apart. Each course was cleared from the table before the next course was served. We never felt rushed. The food was excellent. Atmosphere was quiet to enjoy a conversation. We will certainly be returning.

Parking: We used the valet parking.“

“Great selection and great food“

And the food was AMAZING! Thank you so much! We will continue to use Mama Sbarro's for a long time given their amazing service and food!“

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

“This pizzeria restaurant has delicious pies. Marconys has a nice restaurant side. The food is delicious. The owner is from Italy. We’ve been getting our pizza here and decided to cater a few dishes. Let me say , I am extremely picky with eggplant parmigiana. I usually make time consuming dish but I did not have the time. Marcony’s eggplant parm was the best ever. My kids keep raving about it. We also had the chicken franchise that was tender and delicious! We will be ordering here again very soon.“

“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 😋“

“I ate here after a long day of work. And I had the best experience ever. The server Emily was very nice and helpful. And made sure I got my food on time and well made. She is there to work and work only. And I appreciate a server like that. Excellent service.“

“Love the way it made me feel, it was classy made me feel old-school, neat and clean, made me feel like I was at home. The flavors of the food were different and extremely delicious. This is my First time in NY. I've always wanted to try authentic NY pizza, this was by far the greatest experience I could have ever had. We didn't expect the prices to be so affordable especially for the quality of food and taste. To top it off for being out of town and our first time here the hospitality was welcoming, just like family. My husband and I travel for work and we needed to have some time out the truck They were close to closing but told us to take our time. No rush and it made us feel like it was okay and that we weren't holding them from closing and to enjoy our food and rest our bones. It's hard to find this kind of quality in restaurants these days. It isn't about appearance it's all about the love and time to make such exquisite dishes“

“Friendly service and delicious food.“
