“The BEST pizza in the world!“

“Excellent food and staff was awesome!“

“I can not believe that this restaurant has been here on Main Street in Port Jefferson Village for over 20 years and I never ate there!!! This is my new Favorite place to eat. The food was exceptional and good size portions. The pita bread they put out on the table was so delicious I could have made that my meal. The service was extremely attentive and so personable. The Owner came around greeting everyone and made us feel like we were all family having dinner together. I am looking forward to my next visit.“

“My family bought me here for Mother’s Day and it most definitely did not disappoint.“

“Staff and food were amazing. High recommended“

“My new favorite place in Port Jeff! Food is delicious, staff are great!! I used to manage an Italian restaurant in Manhattan, I tend to scrutinize restaurants, 2 thumbs up for Pasta Pasta, say it again!!! 😋 🍽 🍷“

“Love the food. Service and atmosphere.“

“Happened upon this restaurant while visiting Port Jefferson. And glad we did. Got here early enough that we could get a table right away. Steve took great care of us without being overbearing. We started off with the stuffed mushrooms, which were so freaking good. For main course my husband got the Chicken & Sausage Scarpiello, and I had the Veal Scallopini - both were delicious. We finished off sharing the Rainbow Cookie Cheesecake. This exceeded my expectations. Everything was so good that my husband wants to go back tomorrow!“

“Always Great Service At The Bar!
I had Dinner at the bar and was served by Deanna. As always, she was friendly, informative about the menu and specials, and made sure I received great service. Be sure to come down with your friends and family when Deanna is working! Tell her I sent you!

“Delicious food from start to finish. Wonderful service (we had Gina but all others were great as well) and Friday night they had a singer and had the whole restaurant singing together. Comfy intimate spot that I will definitely return to.“

“Thank for my roast beef and mashed potato and my buffalo blue pizzas 🍕 yesterday, my husband was so happy I bought his two favorites back to Pennsylvania for him! They travel great and always delicious 😋“

“6 of us had dinner ,don't understand why this place isn't packed each night. The food here is always fabulous. Had a lovely waitress and the food did not disappoint. Rice balls and sausage with cherry peppers as appetizers both excellent. Chicken franchise was tender and the side of spaghetti is usually a throw in but this place makes it special.

Parking: Plenty of parking.“

“They catered our party and the food was fabulous. Their meatballs are soft and the best we’ve tasted. The trays were filled to the top. The chicken parm, chicken francaise, and pasta dishes were great. Hero was great too. I was a little hesitant hiring them only because I had never used them before. I decided to use them because we had gone there for dinner a few times and loved the meatballs and other dishes (chicken bruschetta for one) and their homemade dipping sauce for their bread. I could be happy with the dipping sauce and bread alone, delicious! We will definitely use them again to cater. They delivered and were right on time.“

“Pizza and calzones are always burnt, effecting the taste. Even when you ask the staff to cook it lightly, they still burn them. Calzones have way too much mozzarella cheese, and not enough ricotta cheese. Burnt is the norm here. Staff are friendly.“

“Portion sizes have downsized for sure. $5.75 for 1 white slice seemed high. Asked for garlic knots over plain bread several times but no ONE Is listening. Take out orders need more attention. We are in full renovation and are relying on Alfredo's“

“I ate here after a long day of work. And I had the best experience ever. The server Emily was very nice and helpful. And made sure I got my food on time and well made. She is there to work and work only. And I appreciate a server like that. Excellent service.“

“Great Italian restaurant in Rocky Point“

“Picked up Three pies two hero’s the price is great. we ordered three different types deep dish. Thin. Crust and regular pie with meatballs five stars the meat balls really made the pie.“

“Dinner was excellent! Extensive menu. Ordered from the pasta section of the menu gnocchi a la vodka with melted mozzarella on top. It was delicious. There was an unprinted kids menu that included good items like spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, chicken fingers with fries, pizza, etc on the night we went. Chose the spaghetti and meatballs and it came with a large bowl of spaghetti and two giant meatballs. My portion was huge too. They were all about service. Very friendly and attentive team members. The restaurant was very busy, but the food came out relatively quickly and very hot.

The only reason I gave the atmosphere four rather than five star rating is because the front door area was so crowded and congested when we arrived that we couldn't get through the dense and unorganized crowd to figure out where the hosts and hostesses were to request a table. We had never been there before so we had no idea if that was a line for a table or takeout. Appears the front door has a take out order counter or area there. There was a back side door that we ended up using and found some hosts in the middle of the restaurant to ask for a table. To our pleasant surprise there was table readily available for us on the patio!“

“Oh my God! This is the place I've been searching for. My years long hunt for 'authentic' Carbonara pasta is over. This restaurant is a perfect blend of comfortable surroundings, upscale finishes, and well presented, lovingly prepared cuisine. Wrapped in lovely ambience with friendly service dining here is a delight.“

“Every good service and great food“

“We are very happy with L'anatra. Love their pizza and we had them cater a party for us this weekend. They delivered to the door for free and the food and presentation was beautiful. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. I wish them much success and highly recommend. Will cater from them again!!“

“Delicious pizza!! Highly recommend to anyone who loves a good slice! Nelson and his staff make amazing food! Great service and always very friendly! May God continue to bless your business!!“

“One of our favorite pizzerias. Love all the options. Pizzas and salads are the best around!“

“We LOVE Alfie's. Food and service are always OUTSTANDING!“

“I just found great pizza in Suffolk County 8.4 had the Roman style. Unbelievable and white slice absolutely amazing with a grilled chicken Caesar slice the wife loved it keep doing what you doing and thank you.. see you soon!!!“

“I came in there over the summer with my wife and my grandson, Gerald. We were greeted by a young lady by the name of Brooke. Let me tell ya, she was a wonderful waitress to mi familia y yo! She brightened up out dinner experience and made the whole restaurant glow with positivity. I have never experienced such amazing service in my 73 years of life. I especially want to thank her for being nice to my grandson. he has severe autism and she was just a doll! She even sang him happy birthday (he was turnin 7). I tell ya what, if I hadn't lost so much money to these darn taxes, I would've left a $100 tip for this sweet girl. PLEASE give miss Brooke a nice raise. And give her my best wishes. Hugs & Kisses, -Rupert, Gerald and family <3“

“I am the Executive Director at a local senior living community. Our residents have been requesting that we order takeout pizza to switch things up a bit for our dinner service. I placed a large order at the last minute and couldn't be more impressed with how kind and generous they were in the process. The pizza was delicious and our residents are now begging me to schedule another pizza night for them. Thank you Via Pizza for being a great local business that we are proud to support. I can't imagine we will be ordering pizza from anywhere else for the foreseeable future.“

“I live local and my daughter's went there to have a slice for lunch and said we had to try it and we did and order at least once a week from them great food and beautifully decorated“

“I have ordered from Goomba Johnny's many times and have never been nothing more than satisfied. I usually order the 2 pie deal, granny pies are phenomenal. Will be a customer for many more orders! Thank you.“

“The food is always delicious and they never let me down when I have catered they go above and beyond and some of the best chicken franchese I’ve ever had“

“Pizza was fantastic and the cheesy garlic knots are a must! They are open later than most places on a Saturday too!“

“Amazing! The Pupusas, carne asada tacos and the horchata was the best and freshest I’ve had. Will be a frequent flier here!“

“Last night was our 3rd time ordering from them. 2 times we did pick up and last night due to weather we did delivery! All 3 times we were blown away with the quality of food, taste and customer service we received! Amazing food and taste delicious. Everyone who works there is awesome and this is definitely our go to pizza place for now on! Thank you all“

“We love their vodka margarita pizza (if you haven’t it’s a must have). So we decided to have them cater our daughter’s birthday dinner. The catering packages were affordable, good selection, plenty of food and delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food and the pizza. They also delivered which was a huge plus. Thanks so much!! Definitely will be ordering again. Shout out to Autumn who was so helpful, easy to place an order with and pleasant.“

“I was frantic trying to plan a last minute party … they were amazing with helping us with everything ! I got a trey of chicken franchise a salad and the meatball sliders and it was absolutely amazing ! The portions were great the taste was great and the price was great ! Highly recommend them to “

“We ordered from Michael Anthony’s today. Pizza, garlic knots and shrimp & scallops Newburg. Everything was absolutely delicious.“

“Great atmosphere for a date night, but for takeout the personal pie is goated. For some reason it seems cheesier, tastier, and the temperature is much warmer than a full-size pie. And it is a great size for two people. It even reheats closer to fresh. On lunch special (check schedule) its a tad cheaper AND you get a drink.

My only peeve is that the heroes are pretty stingy. Compared to my nearby spot the Setauket Pastaria probably has half the meat. Granted the meat tastes slightly higher quality.

Love the employees. Never an issue with them.

I guess if I had any suggestions for improvement, I'd ask for a way to order zeppolis fresh. They go from a 5 to a 9/10 when they are fresh. I'd pay a premium for that.“

“Great food and great staff!!!“

“I love this place I would highly recommend it. Great pizza and also delicious entrees😋. Keep up the great food and service“

“I mistakenly placed a catering order with Victor not realizing it was the wrong Luigi’s restaurant in a different state! Victor was kind and told me not to worry and I don’t owe a dime. Thank you!!!“

“Excellent eat-in dining experience with outstanding food and phenomenal appetizers“
