A neighborhood gem on the south shore of Nassau county. Old world charm and delicious food.

We have an excellent experience every single time we go here. The food is delicious, the staff is exceptionally warm, friendly and a sheer pleasure to be around. This is hands down our favorite place!

We went for an early dinner on New Year's Eve and it was great . The food was excellent they didn't rush us out and the service was excellent.
Karen
Cozy setting with an attentive waitstaff and excellent food. I ordered the chicken saltimbocca and also had a taste of the chicken scarpariello. Three out of four of us in our party had enough left over to take home. Very enjoyable experience!
Tommy
Everytime we go here we are always very satisfied with the food and service (Eno is the best). I don't know why we don't come more often. This particular time though there was a long table having a Christmas party and the were disrupting the whole restaurant being loud and obnoxious. Management should have made a better decision when agreeing to that booking.

What a wonderful surprise, food and service exceeded our expectations and will be back soon!

My hubby and I hosted dear friends from Valley Stream for dinner. We had not been to your restaurant previously. Our friends made the reservation. The overall dining experience was top notch. The food, service, and cozy atmosphere was wonderful. We truly enjoyed our dining experience. We highly recommend this restaurant.

I absolutely love this place. It's one of my top 3 Italian restaurants in Long Island. The food is delicious and the attention to detail is superb. The entire wait staff and managers are extremely attentive and friendly. Each table has a single candle lit which sets the tone so elegantly. You won't be disappointed. I am here on a weekly basis!!

Having eaten there many times I am usually very happy overall. This time the rice ball appetizer was not really hot and the exterior was not as crisp as usual. Also ordered a special (lamb chops). The plate was plentiful, but the price was about $20 higher than the highest priced entree on the menu. My fault for not asking. Service was attentive, as usual, and I will go back.
Although this place looks very nice, the servers are very rude. I was disturbed and disgusted by the behavior they openly displayed.They blatantly ridicule their guest over the tip they leave. Literally overheard them calling a paying customer shameful for the amount left for a tip. That is disgusting behavior. If your company can not afford to pay its employees enough to not feel that your paying customers are obligated to tip you, perhaps your employer is the shameful one. I am very disappointed, will never dine there again, and will tell all of my family and friends to never dine there either. They hire beggars, no different than street solicitors asking for spare change because their employer doesn't pay a high enough wage! Being a server is your JOB, doing what is required of you to perform your job tasks does not make customer's obligated to tip. It makes your employers obligated to pay it's employees what they deserve based on the job requirements. Again very disturbed and disgusted by these people's behavior.

Il Luogo in Lynbrook has become one of my absolute favorite places to eat. From the moment you walk in, Joel, the host, greets you with such warmth and friendliness that you instantly feel like part of the family. He truly sets the tone for the entire experience — it’s rare to meet someone who makes every single guest feel so genuinely welcome.
The food here is nothing short of phenomenal. Every dish I’ve had — whether dining in or taking out — has been unbelievably delicious and consistent. You can taste the care and passion in every bite. It’s honestly the kind of food you find yourself craving long after you’ve left.
What makes Il Luogo even more special is the staff. Every single person you interact with is friendly, attentive, and eager to make sure you’re having the best experience possible. It’s clear that this isn’t just a job for them — they genuinely care about their guests.
Between the warm atmosphere, Joel’s amazing hospitality, and food that’s always beyond incredible, Il Luogo isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a place where you feel welcome, appreciated, and fed like royalty every single time. Truly a gem of Lynbrook!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Perfect Anniversary Celebration—Twice! Il Luogo is a gem that delivers not just a meal, but a memory. We celebrated our wedding anniversary here on a Saturday and were so enchanted, we returned again midweek to honor the actual date—and both visits were nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like family. Joel, Frank, and the chef went above and beyond to make our celebration truly special. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality elevated the entire experience. The ambiance is cozy and charming, with a timeless elegance that invites you to linger. I can only imagine how magical the evenings must be when the candlesticks are lit—romantic, intimate, and full of heart. Now, the food... absolutely phenomenal. The lobster ravioli was rich and delicate, the chicken parm perfectly crisp and comforting, the branzini fresh and beautifully prepared, and the tiramisu—pure bliss. Each dish was a celebration in itself. Il Luogo has earned a permanent spot in our tradition of special occasions. We'll be back again and again, not just for the food, but for the feeling. Thank you for making our anniversary unforgettable.
