“Hubby and I really enjoyed the food. What a great place services was wonderful. The lady who is the host to the waitress. Thank you so much definitely a five star restaurant. The Abbates“

“We always enjoy the food from La Piazza, but tonight we were especially impressed by the integrity of your delivery driver, Eduar. We accidentally gave him $300 instead of $100 in cash, and he immediately texted us and returned to our door to give back the extra $200. In a world where honesty isn’t always guaranteed, his kindness and professionalism truly stood out. Just wanted to share how grateful we are—people like Eduar make us proud to support your restaurant!“

“If you've driven past it on 110 and always wondered what it's like, you have to give it a try! The lady who works the counter is friendly and the Korean fried chicken is to DIE for. Third time ordering and the quality is consistently good every time. Absolute hidden gem, cannot recommend enough!“

“Been coming here for years, but we now live in Florida. In Huntington for a short visit and Victor’s was our go to for pizza.\n\nSpecialty slices are a bit pricey, but are worth it and are amazing good.\n\nI had: Chicken Bacon Ranch, Sicilian, and a White Slice with Spinach, they were all good, but the White with Spinach was Exceptional.\n\nLess than a mile from the Northern State Parkway, so if you are passing by, it’s a quick off and on.“

“I love that Sbarro is back near me, remind me of many a trip to the mall. I just came here to say the Valley Center KS location rules 💜“

“We just had a 40th Birthday Party for our daughter & it was amazing! Starting with Bill, the Banquet Manager who was so accommodating & informative. The Maitre D was the sweetest, kindest & attentive person & the Staff were all smiles & helpful. The food was displayed with such creative ideas & delicious. Thank you to The Refuge for making our party so memorable. The guest were in awe & could not stop complementing us on having such a fabulous party. Can’t wait to book another party 🎉“

“The first vegan cheese they had was awful but this latest one they’ve been using is some of the best vegan cheese I’ve had. I even called back the first time because I was certain they used the wrong cheese (and my non-vegan friend thought the same thing). Have been back many times since. Even converted my meat-loving friend to veganism over a pie of this pizza. Highly recommend!“

“My wife and I are pizza fanatics specifically Neapolitan style. A hybrid gas, wood fire grill that makes a near perfect pie. We split a Margherita and Mushroom pie.

The Cesar salad was great, a touch of lemon zest and crispy lettuce.

The meatballs were high quality and this is coming from a self proclaimed meatball master.

This place is an absolute MUST!“

“The food is out of this world. The servers are professional and patient. My husband and I felt great, relaxed and we were able to talk unlike other restaurants that you can't hear people on your table.“

“The owner is great, the bartenders are great, Kerry the manager is so kind and nice and accommodating. The food is delicious; there’s too much food there’s always at least two meals for each order the food that you make. The overall ambience is fun as the patrons that frequent this restaurant are regulars. There’s just a homey and fun tinge to this Bellmore Classic.“

“Dinner was great. When the waiter came to take our order we wanted to just order the appetizers and then continue to figure out what we wanted for dinner and we were told we had to place the entire order together. We have been here many times and never had to do that before so we had to quickly figure out our meal so we could get some food. The food is always good we were a party of five. We hope they change the way they require the entire order together be placed.“

“Want to thank the folks at Tre Scalini for helping me organize a funeral luncheon for my brother in law’s mom. They are not from the area and tasked us with finding a place near Pine Lawn. The team was easy to work with, accommodated all of the family’s allergies and was affordable. We can’t thank them enough! Highly recommend.“

Their extensive Italian wine selection, housed in an impressive cellar, complements any meal. Customers are guaranteed satisfaction, no matter their order. The only potential drawback is the sometimes challenging parking situation.“

“Absolutely one of the best meals I have had recently. All the pasta is freshly made in house. Run don’t walk to Talina“

“Went in with a party of 10. 4 of us eat gluten free. The owner came over and explained everything we could have, which was a lot. They have gf pasta. And said that if we call ahead they will make custom meals like gluten free chicken parmigiana. Joe took our order and remembered everything perfectly. We will definitely be back!“

“Awesome food great friendly service one of our all time favorites“

“We moved off Long Island over 8 years ago and always loved la Parma when we lived here even though it was an hour drive for us to enjoy the amazing food. This time when we came up to visit for Christmas we knew we had to get there for a great dinner. I can easily say it still is one of the best places to get amazing Italian food around. The Chicken Napoli was phenomenal and there is nothing like their penne à la vodka! The drinks were great and service was top notch. We also happened to go the day after Christmas when we got lots of snow and the car valet even brushed off our car! We were so happy to not feel rushed because we were there with great friends and just really enjoying ourselves! We can’t wait to come back and visit from Georgia to have their food again!“

“Can I please give 20 Stars???
The food is amazing
The service is amazing
Andy is like the guru of this place every time
I have yet to get anything here that wasn't other than terrific.
On the Butcher items - am I that good a chef? Well according to family and friends yes!! But put that aside if the cuts are junk the result is too

A&S Huntington is my go to always - I literally go there 3-4 times a month sometimes more“

“I had my son's wedding rehearsal dinner at Zona last night. I was originally booked to have the party on Saturday, but the bride came down with the flu. Gianna was so helpful and accommodating. She was able to change the date for me without hesitation. The day of the affair, the staff was so helpful in getting the room set up for us. Our waitress, Jodi, was absolutely incredible. She made sure that our guests had a fresh drink before they even realized their drink was empty. The food was delicious and plentiful. But most of all, the service that Jodi provided to us was outstanding. I would book another event at Zona without hesitation.“

“My wife and I recently hosted a baby shower for our daughter. To say the party was excellent wouldn’t be accurate. It was more than excellent. The food, the service, the staff could not have been better. All of the 55 guests raved about every aspect of the gathering. Many of these guests had never been to Bacaro before but now said they would definitely be coming back. If I had to come up with one negative… I couldn’t. Thanks for making a special day everything we could have hoped for.“

“Fun time with friends! Our waiter Puma was excellent!“

“Piccolo Restaurant, Huntington Excellent dirty martini with blue cheese olives. Pear salad was perfect and delicious. My wife had the potato crusted cod special and I had the veal chop Merrell. Everything was exceptionally prepared and excellent. Service was terrific and outstanding. This is how a restaurant should be run and how great food should taste.“

“Note of Appreciation: Luncheon Service Jan 8, 2025 Dear Sean B & Trento Staff, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the impeccable service and care your entire team provided during the recent funeral of my brother, Steven Blair. On what was undoubtedly a difficult day, your professionalism and attentiveness stood out, creating an environment that allowed our family to come together in remembrance and support. The timeliness of events, while never guaranteed, was handled with such grace and efficiency by your staff, which brought us immense comfort. I would especially like to commend Sean for the exceptional management of the logistics and preparation. The quality of the food and the attention to detail did not go unnoticed, and it sincerely exceeded our expectations. Your efforts contributed greatly to making a solemn occasion feel warm and inviting, allowing us to focus on celebrating Steven's life. Thank you once again for your unwavering commitment to excellence during such a challenging time. We are deeply appreciative of all that you have done. KMB“
