“This is a review for their Catering service.

When my wife and i were looking for a catering company we were having a hard time looking for the right company. Until we walked into this place. We noticed they offered Catering so we spoke to one of their employees his name is Vinny S. And he explained everything From how they do their set up with the food to all the things they offer with their service. We had close to 100 people and he suggested food and what people like to eat.

The day of the event everyone loved the food. (Everything had the right ingredients) said 2 of the chefs that were invited. So i knew the food was great.

So thanks Vinny and thanks to this company for making our experience so much better. Will always recommend them to anyone who reads this review and all of my friends and family who are planning any event.

Btw the delivery boy was also great. He worked around the event and set up everything himself. Very organized.“

“Great Food and great service! Buffalo chicken slice is the go-to!“

“The pan seared roasted chicken is amazing!!! My family and I found this place a few weeks ago. It's a beautifully decorated, clean and fairly new establishment with a very polite staff. My children have had the ravioli, the penne and the chicken fingers and each loved their meals. It's a hidden gem that we are happy to have found :)“

“Rialto is the perfect restaurant for any setting. Whether you’re going out for a regular dinner date, celebrating your birthday, or going out on a business meeting, you should check this place out. Rialto is owned and run by one of the best chefs in the world and really has the best food I’ve ever had in my life. Try this place out and you will never stop coming back. Truly a hidden treasure.“

“Food is good. Service was a little slow due to there being only one server/bartender doing double duty. Went for a quick afternoon lunch. Sat outside which was nice. They have ample outdoor seating. Cocktails were not strong. So ended up sticking to wine for the balance of my drink orders.“

“We had a family party yesterday. We all can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Food was large portions and very delicious. Desserts incredible. Service was always there taking care of us.“

“Wonderful lunch ! Delicious food and very reasonable. Moses our waiter was so kind an attentive. He made our visit extra special. Booking my birthday lunch , can’t wait.“

“We had Thanksgiving dinner here with my two boys. The service was absolutely outstanding. Our waitress was amazing . The food was beyond what I expected. Well done!!!! The portions were beyond believable and believe it or not the take home portions were just as amazing as they were when first brought out. More than 5 stars. Excellent evening and the price was ridiculously resendable. Great job to all the cooks and the people that don't get the recognition they deserve in the preparation of this fantastic meal.“

“I have to say this slice of pizza that I ordered that looks like a caprese salad and their garlic knots is phenomenal!!!!!! I wish I can remember the guy's name that's making the pizza but he's the man. I highly recommend this as a lunch item.“

“I just had my daughter’s baptism at Fabio’s. From the food to the service everything was amazing! My guests were raving about the food. We did family style and it was more than enough food. We even had leftovers to take home! Fabio went above and beyond helping us set up the decorations the night before my party. We never felt rushed (we were there til 1am). He wants his guests to have a great experience and we did! Thanks to Fabio, Rose, Marty and the entire staff for a great party!“

“My go to place for special occasions. Mike always makes us feel at home. Not only is the food fantastic, but the staff is helpful and kind. They even went out of their way to help my handicap mother get in and out of the car! Food is delicious and tons of variety when compared to the standard Italian restaurant. Great portions and even a decent amount of healthy options. Thank you to the staff for making my night even more special!“

“We only came here because it was listed on BringFido, since we were traveling with our 20 pound Shiba Inu, Toby. What a wonderful experience that we had! The food was amazing! And we had just gotten back from the Amalfi coast in Italy. So that has to say something for this place! Jimmy, our server, was a doll and was so kind and brought things out for our dog, like water, etc. - very warm and welcoming place!!! of course we had to eat alfresco, and the traffic was a bit busy at that hour - so if it wasn’t for that noise, we would had an even greater time! But the excellent food and the excellent service more than made up for it! we will definitely be back with Toby!“

“We just had my wife’s 40th birthday dinner at Cassarinos and all of my guest raved about the food and how friendly the workers are. I was extremely happy with how they handled the party and the food is always top notch. Wonderful place for parties or even just to go out for a dinner date. Highly recommended“

“Chef Chris was professional, punctual, and helped me host the most amazing dinner party for my mom‘s birthday in the Hamptons. He created a fantastic menu and was able to accommodate all dietary restrictions while keeping the meal, smooth, consistent, and absolutely delicious. He is not only a delight to work with, but incredibly easy to coordinate with. He was such a pleasure to have in the kitchen, helped me prepare the table and made me feel at ease, even though it was very probable that our outdoor celebration might get ruined by the rain. 12 out of 10 if you’re hosting a dinner party in the Hamptons or in Aspen, he is your guy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone for any occasion.“

“Excellent service food drink and ambience whether date night family night or flying solo. Italian Bistro done right. Took ole neighborhood lifetime pal Nick D'Agostino from the infamous Venezia de Notte on Central Ave in Yonkers and he dug L&P big time.“

“My wife and I really enjoyed the entire setting family style dinning. We both love eggplant very much the seasonings were not salty or spicy plenty of sauce stuffed with fresh ricotta cheese. All of what we could see were large entrees no fru fru at all. This is another local good place to dine in Floral Park.“

“Wonderful restaurant! Our waitress at the bar was so lovely, taught us about the restaurant name meaning “fireplace cave” in Italian, and showed us through the menu and even helped us order an off-menu favorite the cacio e pepe, which was very tasty and the perfect amount of al dente. We had a terrific classic Margarita pizza! You have to order a pizza if you come here its all about the wood fire oven! Love it!“

“The food was amazing. The service superb! What more could you want??!! This was our first time here - and we definitely will be back - loved it!“

“Outstanding in every category.
Our server was phenomenal.
The cuisine was excellent & delicious.
The atmosphere was elegant and friendly.
Celebrated my Mother's 92nd Birthday with last minute reservations and so glad we did.
Had a great celebration and meal including appetizers and the entrees were incredible.
Not too pricey with good size food portions.
Highly recommend.“

“We had a last minute reservation for 8 people, and we were lucky enough to snag a table. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE! Our entire table loved the food. From the appetizers (the warm bread, the amazing carmalized onion spread, & the Calamari), to the main courses (the NY strip steak, the shrimp, and the ravioli), to the dessert (trust me... get the bread pudding!) everything was impeccable. The service staff was also amazing, very attentive and kind. I will definitely be back!“

“The food and service was top notch at Gio’s! 10 stars! I asked for shrimp oreganata which wasn’t on the menu but they nailed it. Absolutely delicious. Had the antipasto and the Caesar salad. The most delicious unique Cesar salad I have ever had and who knew warm olives would be so delicious! I will definitely be going back! This spot is an amazing addition to AB! And Thank You to the staff for being so attentive and accommodating.“

“Excellent food we were greeted with warm welcome felt right at home. The food was incredible linguine with white clam sauce is out of this world. I had chicken marsala that was so tasty so tender my wife had veal Principe and it was awesome. Wish I had room for dessert, oh by the way, the drinks are off the charts.“

“Words really cannot express what a perfect setting La Parma III Italian Restaurant was for our family.
I was trying to plan a luncheon to take place after a funeral remotely from San Diego, CA, and had nothing to go on other than a recommendation from the funeral home
I called and spoke to Guido on a Friday and the lunch was being planned for the upcoming Tuesday 8-27th a few days later.
Being in the catering business myself and immediately hearing "no problem" we can do it all, was simply music to my ears. Guido said he would not be in on that Sunday when I wanted to come check it out in person but gladly provided me with the Managers name that would be available that day to meet. When I arrived at the restaurant, I met Richie, and he could not have been more helpful in confirming everything that I had expected to happen.
Not only did they have us set up in a beautiful room with everything ready to go but both Guido and Richie were there during the lunch and worked the entire event in coordination with their amazing team. From the initial contact over the phone, all the way to the completion of the lunch we could not be happier with how professional and accommodating the people at La Parma III were, especially considering we had just lost our loved one. We would call them again for this or any other meal we needed to be catered. In summary, the food and service were five stars, A+, or whatever is the best grade possible!“

“Great food, great service! Will be back for sure!“

“As a Croatian. I give fuzi an A +! Fuzi is fresh and the sugo sauce is amazing. Highly recommend.“

“Great customer service! Went inside last minute and ordered a pie with pepperoni and sausage, and it was delicious! I haven't had good pizza like this in a while and I was surprised and impressed. The staff was very friendly and I'm sure to go back there as they have now become my go to spot for pizza.

Parking: Plenty of free parking in the lot.“

“Family place...always good...and very reasonable...like eating at momma's....Really a well kept secret by those who think food is more important than a perfectly lit room...must try....you will make friends there.“

“A staple for us. We go here all the time. One of the best plain slices in all of New York City (and state probably!)

Parking: Can park around the corner of spots aren't available on plandome

Wheelchair accessibility: Should be good. I believe there's a double door to enter and at grade - no step up or down to order and for some of the tables in the front.“

“We had our daughter’s first birthday here and they knocked it out of the park. Anthony and John and the rest of the staff are awesome. Food was incredible. Highly recommended!“

“Great food. People are really nice as well.“

“Fabulous food and excellent service !!!“

“Atlantic Pizzeria on Atlantic Ave in Freeport NY- It was my first time visiting this restaurant today and though I don’t normally write reviews, I felt compelled to state what a wonderful establishment! My daughter, who is very shy, spilled a drink in there and the workers replaced it immediately at no charge and cleaned it up right away! As a parent, this meant the world to me because I did not want her to feel uncomfortable.. thank you and we will be back! Please support!“

“Order # 6760 on 7/14/22 was cooked to perfection. Order was ready when i arrived. It was excellent t!!!“

“The food and service was every good. But yesterday my tia altagracia memorial service i order for those who wanted to celebrate her life with a whiskey sours. My tia made the best and everyone who celebrated her live with a whiskey sours stated they rank of 8 out of 10. Thank you. most places were 5 or 6 out of 10“

“Hands down best Italian food on Long Island“

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. The food is sensational and the chef/ owner is top notch. This restaurant has the best food around and service is sensational. I would recommend this for any occasion. We will be back next week for another amazing meal.“

“4th visit. Not as good as the last three, but still tasty. Luciano calamari was a teeny bit over but good. Arrabbiatia is better.
Veal Francese was a little bland but perked up with a pinch or two of salt. Leftovers were great on a baguette next day.
My brother says it's still the best chicken Parm!
Unusually long delay between app and mains.
$5 is really steep for a bar cola which was mostly flat. Don't order it.“

“One of the best sandwiches I’ve EVER had! What a place“

“Absolutely the best! Treated us like family! Authentic as is it gets! 5 stars!“
