The Cesar salad was great, a touch of lemon zest and crispy lettuce.

The meatballs were high quality and this is coming from a self proclaimed meatball master.

This place is an absolute MUST!“

“We moved off Long Island over 8 years ago and always loved la Parma when we lived here even though it was an hour drive for us to enjoy the amazing food. This time when we came up to visit for Christmas we knew we had to get there for a great dinner. I can easily say it still is one of the best places to get amazing Italian food around. The Chicken Napoli was phenomenal and there is nothing like their penne à la vodka! The drinks were great and service was top notch. We also happened to go the day after Christmas when we got lots of snow and the car valet even brushed off our car! We were so happy to not feel rushed because we were there with great friends and just really enjoying ourselves! We can’t wait to come back and visit from Georgia to have their food again!“

“As a restaurant owner, I never go out and order chicken Parm probably had the best chicken Parm I ever had in my life. The atmosphere is great. The service is great. Just an all-around great place. The food was fantastic. Three times so far to try everything on the menu highly recommended referred by Mr. Michael.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Went in with a party of 10. 4 of us eat gluten free. The owner came over and explained everything we could have, which was a lot. They have gf pasta. And said that if we call ahead they will make custom meals like gluten free chicken parmigiana. Joe took our order and remembered everything perfectly. We will definitely be back!“

“Don't add salt or sauce. Try the food first. Then you will realize you don't need to add anything. Everything on the menu is cooked to perfection. If this restaurant was in Pretoria we would be locals. The staff and hands on owners are amazing. The service was fantastic and the food next level. In all our travels this was the best destination by far. We hope to see you again soon. Thank you for taking care of us. Ps the guesthouse is just as fantastic. Charlene and Sheriden“

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.

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.

“I went there with my family for an early Sunday dinner. The staff were super friendly and engaged. In particular, the person that served us and looked after us was super sweet and friendly. The armosphere was very peaceful and quiet (I'd expect theis place to be hopping and super lively at other times). My group was vey well pleased with their entrees, and the appetizers were particularly well done (our salad and the fried zucchini). I'll certainly be back; a business dinner or a drink after work.“

“Friendly service Excellent food“

“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.“

“We had a Mothers Day celebration Sunday at this fabulous seafood restaurant. There were 15 of us- 9 adults and six children between 5 and 12. We traveled an hour to get there. The food was delicious- fresh, tasty and the portions were so large that everyone took a doggy bag home. It was served by a great staff including Angel who was our server. The owner, Donna, was very cordial and friendly. Everyone had a great time. We can't wait for our next family dinner to return. This is a must restaurant if you are a seafood lover!!“

“I had dinner at Salute with my friends last night (Friday evening). The food was delicious from appetizers to dessert we enjoyed every bite. They serve large portions. We took half of it home. The drinks were amazing. The hardest part was deciding what to eat. There were so many choices on the menu. All mouth watering! The staff were so friendly and attentive they make you feel like family. The place was packed with people of all ages. The live music was so good, couple got up and started dancing others sang along. Salute at Plainview is a great place to meet friends, meet for a romantic date, or simple stop by my yourself when you rather be with a community of people who always make you feel welcome and very special.“

“A quite, pretty local restaurant with excellent Italian dishes and great service.“
