Everything is phenomenal about Cafe Continental.Cafe Continental in Manhasset, NY, is a hidden gem that brings the flavors of Italy to life in the heart of the community. My recent dining experience at this charming Italian restaurant left me thoroughly impressed and eager to share my positive review.From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with a warm and inviting ambiance that instantly set the tone for a delightful evening. The rustic decor and cozy atmosphere created the perfect backdrop for an authentic Italian dining experience.The star of the show, however, was undoubtedly the culinary delights served at Cafe Continental. Each dish was a masterpiece of flavors, showcasing the chef's dedication to using fresh, high-quality ingredients. From pasta to seafood, every bite was a journey through the rich and diverse palette of Italian cuisine.What truly elevated my experience was the impeccable service provided by the staff, and I must highlight the extraordinary skills of the bartender, Peter. His expertise in crafting cocktails was nothing short of magnificent. The attention to detail, creativity, and passion he put into each drink were evident in every sip. Peter's friendly demeanor and willingness to customize drinks based on preferences made the evening even more enjoyable.The staff at Cafe Continental demonstrated a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction, making sure every aspect of our dining experience exceeded expectations. The combination of delicious food, inviting ambiance, and outstanding service, especially from the talented bartender Peter, makes Cafe Continental a standout choice for anyone seeking an authentic Italian dining experience in Manhasset, NY.I highly recommend Cafe Continental to fellow food enthusiasts and appreciate the dedication of the entire team in delivering a memorable dining experience.

Excellent service! My friend and I dined here on a Saturday night, two women aged about 60. The service could not have been more attentive and we received good advice on the menu options, no funny looks when we ordered a large assortment of appetizers and one main to share. Super pleasant!

Always a pleasure to dine. Feels like home & extremely accomodating. The staff are real assets to the restaurant; especially James (owner), Robert, Cheech & the other busboys.

Everything we had was incredible, and the service was outstanding. Both servers were also very kind and considerate of my toddler, which was huge for us. Every single dish, from the burrata to the handmade pappardelle, was fantastic. Can't wait to go back!
Great cocktails, great food and great service. I had a delicious stuffed artichoke with a lemony sauce that was not too tart. My main course was spaghetti with lobster, clams and scallops, very good. my husband had chicken continental with cheese and a wonderful sauce. Everything here is wonderful. Very nice, relaxing meal.

I was on a date and from the moment we walked in we were greeted and seated. Our waiter was amazing! Appetizers we got a dozen oysters on the half shell which were so fresh and tasty and the hot antipasto. Dinner I got the veal chop parmigiana absolutely amazing and my date got the veal principessa incredible. Great all around, definately we'll be back and recommend this place to anyone looking for a great Italian meal.
I've been to a lot of Italian restaurants in Long Island, but this is my absolute favorite. The food is cconsistently good and the wait staff treat you wonderfully. I definitely recommend!
Love going here the food and service is consistently reliable and the owner goes out of his way to make you happy. As of now they aren't adding 3% for credit cards which I find objectionable
