My friend did a price fixed with filet of sole and said it was delicious. The brussel sprouts appetizer was excellent. We also started with fried calamari, though small portion, was good. I had a hamburger which was huge with the onions and musrooms. The burger was cooked to perfection. The other two in our party also finished their food. It was very quiet so we were able to communicate easily with our friends.“

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the impeccable service and care your entire team provided during the recent funeral of my brother, Steven Blair. On what was undoubtedly a difficult day, your professionalism and attentiveness stood out, creating an environment that allowed our family to come together in remembrance and support. The timeliness of events, while never guaranteed, was handled with such grace and efficiency by your staff, which brought us immense comfort. I would especially like to commend Sean for the exceptional management of the logistics and preparation. The quality of the food and the attention to detail did not go unnoticed, and it sincerely exceeded our expectations. Your efforts contributed greatly to making a solemn occasion feel warm and inviting, allowing us to focus on celebrating Steven's life. Thank you once again for your unwavering commitment to excellence during such a challenging time. We are deeply appreciative of all that you have done. KMB“

“Friendly service Excellent food“

“Nice Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Farmingdale. I went on a Friday night with some friends, we had drinks, appetizers, and obviously main courses. Everything was good from the bay clams to the fried calamari and the muscles with a basil cream sauce. For dinner, also Buco, chicken, Parm, Bronzino, and eggplant dish, and a chicken and sausage platter were served. The weight staff was excellent. They were constantly offering us more drinks topping off the glasses of water. Dessert and coffee was later served overall we had a very enjoyable evening. Vespa  in Farmingdale is essentially located near the Nassau County Suffolk County border. It's a great meet up spot for friends who live in Suffolk County and as well friends who live in Nassau. I would definitely recommend Vespa in Farmingdale. I recently read that they opened up a second location. I will definitely be back to this location. Bon appétit. “

“I had my son's wedding rehearsal dinner at Zona last night. I was originally booked to have the party on Saturday, but the bride came down with the flu. Gianna was so helpful and accommodating. She was able to change the date for me without hesitation. The day of the affair, the staff was so helpful in getting the room set up for us. Our waitress, Jodi, was absolutely incredible. She made sure that our guests had a fresh drink before they even realized their drink was empty. The food was delicious and plentiful. But most of all, the service that Jodi provided to us was outstanding. I would book another event at Zona without hesitation.“

“I finally went after hearing about the great food in a Huntington-centric FB group, and the hype is real! So, so good! Definitely worth me taking a different way home from work so I could pass by. Oh!! And for the introverted people like myself, as of either yesterday or today, they can be found on GrubHub!! Great news for those of us who don’t like being on the phone :)“

“My wife and I recently hosted a baby shower for our daughter. To say the party was excellent wouldn’t be accurate. It was more than excellent. The food, the service, the staff could not have been better. All of the 55 guests raved about every aspect of the gathering. Many of these guests had never been to Bacaro before but now said they would definitely be coming back. If I had to come up with one negative… I couldn’t. Thanks for making a special day everything we could have hoped for.“

“Ate here for the first time this past Friday 12/6. Walked in and loved the decoration of the interior of the restaurant. We ordered the Crostini for an appetizer, and I got the Mezzelune Al Tartufo and my Fiancee got Strozzapreti Gratinati for our main dishes. For Dessert we got the Apple cake. Our waiter recommended the Apple cinnamon old fashioned. Everything was phenomenal. I can’t wait to go back. They should promote that there is parking in the back so people don’t drive by if their isn’t parking in the front.“

“EVERYTHING !! Best Italian food on Long Island“

“Want to thank the folks at Tre Scalini for helping me organize a funeral luncheon for my brother in law’s mom. They are not from the area and tasked us with finding a place near Pine Lawn. The team was easy to work with, accommodated all of the family’s allergies and was affordable. We can’t thank them enough! Highly recommend.“

They have a few tables that you can sit down at... it’s really cute!!!!! Enjoy!!!!!!“

“Tony, Tony, Tony... Our party of 24 will forever be grateful to you for saving a night out with our family. When I called asking if you could accommodate a large party after plans to go into the city fell apart, you made it happen within a 1/2 hour even though you were super busy with other parties and on a Saturday night before Mother's Day. You welcomed us with open arms and treated us like royalty. You, Sal & your staff made sure we were happy, and we were. The staff is amazing. Patrizia's, as busy as it is all the time, never fails to provide the most delicious and fresh food and in abundance of it. The staff is very attentive and all work well together. The atmosphere is also a lot of fun. You have definitely gained 24 lifetime customers. God Bless!“

“If you’re craving an Italian dining experience that transports you straight to the heart of your Nonna’s kitchen, look no further than Cafe Gio in the Lidl Shopping Center, West Babylon, NY! From the moment we stepped into this unassuming gem tucked off Sunrise Highway, we were enveloped in an atmosphere that exuded authenticity, warmth, and culinary passion. This is not “just a meal”—it’s a direct love letter to true Italian cuisine (and I’m still swooning over every bite). Let’s start with the menu (!), a veritable symphony of Italian classics and innovative dishes that could satisfy even the most discerning appetite. The selection is vast, offering everything from Neapolitan and artisan pizzas to seafood, pastas, and entrees that make you feel like you’re dining in a rustic trattoria in Italy. The diversity is staggering, yet every dish feels crafted with precision and heart. We were a party of five, each with our own cravings, and Cafe Gio delivered beyond our wildest expectations! First up, the Roma Chicken. Oh, where do I begin? This dish was a revelation—tender chicken breast sautéed to perfection, crowned with spinach, melted mozzarella, and bathed in a delicate light pink brandy sauce. Next, the Chicken Parmigiana. This is not your run-of-the-mill parm. The chicken cutlet was impeccably crispy yet juicy, blanketed in a vibrant, house-made tomato sauce that had just the right balance of tang and sweetness. Topped with a generous layer of bubbling mozzarella, it was served with a side of perfectly al dente pasta. This dish alone is worth the trip to West Babylon—it’s comfort food elevated to an art form. The Shrimp Parmigiana was another showstopper. Golden-fried shrimp, plump and succulent, were nestled under that same glorious tomato sauce and mozzarella. Paired with a side of linguine, it was a plate of pure indulgence. And then, the Chicken Francese. This dish was a masterclass in elegance. The chicken, lightly battered and sautéed in a lemony white wine sauce, was bright, zesty, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Now, let’s talk about Jill, our server, who was nothing short of a superstar. She was the epitome of salt-of-the-earth—warm, genuine, and attentive without ever being overbearing. Jill’s infectious enthusiasm for the menu made us feel like we were dining at her own table. She checked in just enough to ensure our glasses were filled and our needs were met, all while sharing a smile that made the experience feel personal and heartfelt. Her knowledge of the menu was spot-on, and her recommendations were pure gold. Jill is the kind of server who turns a great meal into an unforgettable experience. The ambiance at Cafe Gio strikes a perfect balance between casual and inviting. Located in a strip mall, you might not expect the cozy, family-owned vibe that greets you inside. The dining room is spacious yet intimate, with a clean, welcoming aesthetic that makes it ideal for everything from a quick lunch to a celebratory dinner. Once you enter the door, prepare for the magic to unfold. Buon appetito!“
