11 Best Italian Restaurants in Merrick

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

“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!“

“Best authentic Italian food and drinks in a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend“

“I first came to Mio Posto for dinner on a Friday night with my husband and we absolutely loved it. The music, energy and overall vibe made us instantly want to come back. The atmosphere was lively with a live DJ, friendly bartenders and generous food portions. After such a great first experience, I decided to host my birthday dinner here. The staff was incredibly accommodating. I originally made a reservation for 15 guests, but it increased to 20 and they handled the change without any issues. The restaurant had a fun luau theme that evening which was cute because everyone was in theme. We chose the $100 prix fixe menu with the 3-hour open bar and everyone in my party enjoyed the food, drinks and overall experience. A special shoutout to our waiter, I unfortunately can’t remember his name at the moment but he was also our server the first time we visited. He was so kind, attentive and genuinely sweet, so I was thrilled to see him taking care of my birthday party. He truly helped make the night even more special.“

“I would not recommend La Bottega Merrick. I am very disappointed in the customer service. I placed a panini box order for a small party. I then went into the Merrick store to personally go over the order. I requested two paninis to be wrapped separately. One was a gluten free panini and the other was an Erika panini for my grandson. My husband picked the order up but when we opened the order, the Erika panini was not there. We called immediately and they said someone would bring it right away. There was no apology and we waited over an hour for it to be delivered. Mistakes do happen but how a business handles their mistake is very telling about how much their customers matter. The message was clear that customer service is not a priority. Additionally, the grilled chicken in the paninis was very tough and chewy. We order often from the East Meadow restaurant but they are closed on Sundays so we decided to order from the Merrick location. We have never had a problem at the East Meadow location but will not order from La Bottega Merrick again.“

“Great food and friendly service! Will definitely go back!“
