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“

“Saturday DJ was a hit. Great job Frank! Hey, idk who doesn’t already know it but this place is great!! Skirt steak, Franky’s veal, the baked clams were a 10/10, fried calamari done to perfection - all the sauces were on point- we all had enough to share and then bring home food - the tiramisu cake 10/10 light but the cream was rich & amazing - the Pino was flowing! a glass is half a bottle here. Can’t say enough So i will just add ‘We’re going back soon’“

“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.“

“What a fantastic place! Sal and his family did an awesome job making us Heroes. Fantastic pizza! perfect crust, great sauce, beautiful toppings. we drove all the way from Northern Virginia to take advantage of this authentic Pizzeria. go there, no matter what. it'll make your day.“

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