We held a private event for about 25 people last weekend in the upstairs space at Two25 and I could not have been more pleased! Leading up to our event, Andrea was very helpful and responsive, and the rest of the staff was just as incredible day-of. They were attentive to us and our guests (adults and children alike), regularly checking in to make sure everything was going well and everyone had what they needed. The restaurant is beautiful and the food was fantastic. It was the perfect place for our event, and we'll absolutely be back next time we're in the area!

Two25 has seamlessly replaced the once beloved Locust Valley Inn, breathing new life into the space with their innovative and inviting atmosphere. In just a year, they've managed to capture the essence of what makes a dining experience memorable. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with a sense of warmth and sophistication that sets the tone for an exceptional meal. The attention to detail in their decor and ambiance is matched only by the exquisite flavors that come out of their kitchen. THE GROWS: Location, location, location. They have a small parking lot, but if you opt not to use their valet service on weekends, beware of where you park and leave time to secure a spot where you won't be towed. They did not have all of their gelato flavors this particular evening--only chocolate and pistachio. Sort of a bummer after a terrific meal to have dessert be thwarted. THE GLOWS: Personnel are top-notch at Two25. We began our evening by having a pleasant conversation with the bartender as he prepared our French martini and glass of wine. We were seated promptly as soon as our party assembled, and we were greeted with menus and the daily specials by Miro, our server. He checked on us often and made sure our courses were correct and delivered with appropriate timing. It is standard practice there to place a bottle of water on each table so that you don't have to wait for someone to notice you need a refill. Now for the food: The highlights of the evening included the antipasto for 2, arctic char, and zeppole. And even though I was cranky at the limited flavors of gelato, the pistachio was hands down phenomenal. The antipasto included sopressato, mortadella, cappicola, green olives, fig jam, ricotta salata, provolone, gorgonzola, and a tomato confit. The arctic char was served with shaved Brussel sprouts and julienned green apple. This combination of sweet and savory married well together. Make sure you try their side of creamy polenta as well--big enough to share three ways! Whether you're indulging in their perfectly cooked steaks or savoring their inventive seafood dishes, each bite is a testament to their dedication to culinary excellence. With impeccable service and a menu that constantly surprises and delights, Two25 has quickly become a shining star in the local dining scene, earning its place as a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts.

My husband and I had been to Two25 when they first opened (a year ago?), I went with friends this past Fall, and then last night we went with other friends. We met a few minutes early and had a drink at the bar - highly recommend. Paul, the most professional bartender, made me a very nice vodka martini with a twist and offered me a taste of a new vodka on the market. We then moved to a great corner table and were greeted by a gentleman, a, yet again, professional and considerate waiter (I missed his name). I ordered the caesar salad and followed with a special beet gnocchi as my entree. My husband had the lasagna. For dessert we shared tiramisu, zeppole, and chocolate lava cake (who doesn't like that?!) amongst 6 of us. We were the last to leave and they never rushed us out!! Our meals over my three visits this year have been consistent. I think the servers have evolved to be more mature. We had a great, enjoyable and tasteful experience.

We rarely eat Italian food outside our home because we make our own better than a restaurant. But this is another rare example of an excellent Italian restaurant that is like home cooked food. The place is very elegant inside and the people are very friendly and welcoming and the service was outstanding. The booze was great and the bottled Italian water was very good. We had the Shrimp Cocktail for the appetizer although the shrimp were a bit smaller it was fresh and very good. My wife had the tortellini and I had the special steak everything was delicious and well prepared. The steak had diced potatoes and it was perfectly cooked. The tortellini was fantastic although it was a small portion. The deserts we had an Afogato and the Zeppoli's were just outrageously delicious and the coffee was fantastic too. This is a really great Italian restaurant in LV we will definitely be back we had a wonderful meal and experience. You'd be remiss not to have a meal here.

First, the food and drinks were really good, but it's hardly a 5 star joint due to the service. Very inattentive staff. Empty glasses not bussed. No check in from the front of house. One drink was incorrect, had to go to bar to fix. For NYC prices, was expecting service to be on par with the food. Has potential.

Excellent food, even better service. I can not say enough good things about this Resturant. Only complaint we had was some food came out cold.

This was our first time here. Our son was visiting from California and we wanted to try something new. It did not disappoint. The beet salad was superb. The branzino was cooked to perfection on a bed of broccoli rabe. The drink pours were generous, and the service was great! After our dinner the owner bought us after-dinner drinks. We'll be back soon!

I had a family party at this restaurant in October and Gabriel was just so wonderful and responsive. The staff went above and beyond exceptional service. The food was sensational. My family still talks about it. I am so thankful that they made my daughter’s christening such a happy event. I can’t wait to go back for a date night!
