12 Best Italian Restaurants in Mineola

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A true Italian Joint ! Amatriciana, Carbonara and Cacio e Pepe made to perfection! . Appetizers are very good as well my favorite is the fried artichokes. Tried the special mozzarella in carrozza with anchiove and it was very good. Portions are plentiful and it's a high quality pasta. Highly recommend!“

“highly recommend. everyone always asks where we cater from. nothing is ever left!! delicious food always. the string bean salad is one of my favorties. the raviolis are made fresh there. if you want an amazing meal go see them!“

“Hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner here and we are SO glad did - everything was perfect! Everyone could not get over how delicious all the food was. Danny worked with us to create a menu that was tailored to us and our guests and we got SO much food included in the package we did. He also worked with us to create table arrangements that worked best for our event. I was worried at first that the space only being partially private and not a true private room would be an issue but it was not at all! We really didn’t need it and were happy to still get to enjoy the Sinatra singer that plays for the restaurant that night. He even came over and sang for our party and had us dance which was not expected but a fun surprise that we loved! Overall we had a great event here and I am so happy we chose them to host it!“

“Cala Luna is by far the best restaurant in Mineola. Their lack of advertising and marketing keeps their business down. I recommend highly to anyone to try this place, they will not be disappointed.“

“10 stars!! I ordered full trays of meatballs, penne with red sauce, chicken francese, garden salad and half tray of eggplant for my baby shower. My family and friends loved the food and everyone asked where the food was catered from. Thank you so much for the delicious food, We’ll be ordering again !“

“We came here on time for the lunch menu (served until 3), but we were given the dinner menu instead. A few of the items that are on both menus are more expensive on the dinner menu, so it gave us the impression they just wanted us to spend more. After asking for the lunch menu they discouraged it then brushed it off, so we used the more expensive menu rather than make a scene. The Caeser salad with chicken was ok, just a little overdressed. The octopus on the specials menu was tender and tasted good. The shrimp scampi over linguini ($8 more on the dinner menu than the lunch menu) was well-prepared. The NY strip au poivre was more medium than the medium rare we asked for, and the steak was under seasoned. We’ve had better experiences here in the past. It was very off-putting that they did not bring us the lunch menu when we asked for it.“

“Great deli! Great variety, fast, and always clean! Highly recommend their French vanilla ice coffee and peanut butter Overnight Oats, salad bar, and rice pudding. Sandwiches are also quality. Update: Ordered a nice custom Italian style sandwich, and Tommy did it right!“

“Came here after my daughter's graduation. It is a nice little place that seems more like a pizzeria than a restaurant but was great for the 9 of us. We had a good meal and the server Josh and the owner was great. Wasn't too busy but on a Thursday afternoon what could you expect. Nice place for a good meal.“

“As someone who’s spent a lifetime exploring nearly every renowned pizza spot across Long Island and New York City, I can confidently say that Cugini’s ranks among the very best. If I had to choose a standout item from their menu, it’s without a doubt the marinara slice—pure perfection in every bite. The crust strikes the perfect balance between crunchy and light, while the sauce is rich, garlicky, and never overly acidic. I can easily polish off three slices whenever I visit this outstanding pizzeria. If you’re craving that classic, old-school pizza flavor, Cugini’s is the place to go. I believe there’s also a location in Bayside, Queens.“
