We have had several wonderful meals at Stressa restaurant in Manhasset. The food is delicious and beautifully prepared. The owner is accommodating, even creating a salad for me which was not on the menu. The service is attentive and friendly. We plan to return soon and look forward to our next meal. A great local gem!

I’m not just saying this, but this place is actually the best restaurant in the world in my opinion. If you go to other more expensive restaurants, they wont cook with nearly as much love as this place does. Highly recommend, you won’t regret it.

There's a reason why this was voted Long Islands best Italian restaurant. My first time here. A little pricy but there's an amazing deal for prix fix lunch. Interesting variety of choices for appetizer, entree, desert and coffee. I noticed that the prix fix menu said as of March 2023. I'm wondering if it's changed up once a year at least!! My cold antipasto for appetizer was a wonderful array of meats, cheese and eggplant. Main was salmon which I usually don't order but it seriously was the best salmon I've ever tasted !!! It melted in my mouth. I was offered some sauce on the side which brought the taste up perfectly. Desert was a pear tart with whipped cream and decaf cappuccino for me. Everything from start to end was perfect. Service, rest rooms , parking in back. I can't wait to come back.

Amazing restaurant. My family and I have been coming here since Giorgio started it in the 80's. Always terrific. The food is excellent, the ambiance is great and the service is excellent. We are vegetarians and they will accommodate us to transform almost any dish. Highly recommend this restaurant.

I would have given five stars, but was disappointed when after one hour and forty five minutes, we were asked to vacate the table to accommodate the next reservation. We will not be returning.

Our family usually dines at Stressa several times a year. The service is attentive and personable. The selections are varied and the cuisine is delicious and well prepared.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair access from the front but it's on a busy street where you cannot park. You must park on the driveway that leads from street access to the rear where parking is located and drop off your wheelchair bound people there before proceeding to the rear of the lot to park. There is a rear entrance with stairs, conveniently located near parking

Dated atmosphere, food was just ok nothing outstanding, service was rushing us even though there were plenty of open tables
A favorite of my whole family, a standout in the Italian cuisine space because it's authentic AND modern at the same time. Recommend emphatically.
