“While visiting Eastern Long Island, we came upon il Giardino Restaurant. We were unable to make a reservation. So when we arrived, the place was packed with high energy, which seemed like some locals and tourists. We were able to get a spot at the bar for some cocktails prior to being seated. Staff were friendly and helpful. We were served quickly considering it was a full house. Food was very good. The restaurant is in a old style house with a nice charm to it. There was parking on the street and also a back parking lot.“

“Pellegrino‘s is some of the finest Italian food on the East End. It also is a cool place to hang out with a casual vibe with no pretense.. as a local realtor when people ask me, what’s a great restaurant in the north sea area Pellegrino is always the first to come to mind. Great food fantastic service a small, but vibrant bar area or what you’ll find here.
They make a great pizza.
I cannot recommend this place more highly.
Stop in for a bite you will not be disappointed.“

“I am a Shipt shopper and travel to Riverhead once or twice a week. After a long day, I always look for something fast, delicious, and satisfying. Since I love Italian food, I googled an Italian restaurant nearby and came across Lenny Pizza & Bistro.

My first visit was on September 22, 2025, when I ordered the baked ziti, sautéed spinach, and garlic knots. This was actually my first time ever having freshly baked garlic knots—and they were incredible! That entire meal was so delicious, I knew I’d be back.

On September 29, 2025, I returned and tried the meat lasagna with the sautéed spinach and garlic knots—it was absolutely perfect. Yesterday, I found myself craving that lasagna again and just had to go back. Once more, I ordered the meat lasagna, spinach, and garlic knots, and it was every bit as amazing as the last time.

The food here is consistently fresh, flavorful, and comforting—exactly what I need after a long workday. I can honestly say Lenny Pizza & Bistro has quickly become my go-to spot in Riverhead. Highly recommend!

“Born in New York and grew up in Huntington. This is my First time at Romas and visiting mom from Virginia, my son has never been to any authentic New York pizza joints. So when we tried Roma’s, he had the Sicilian and he told the owner “it’s the best pizza he ever ate”. Coincidentally the owner knows Tony from our local pizza place in Virginia. Real glad we got up for some real New York pizza before leaving to go home in little ol’ Virginia.“
