“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!“

“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 wife and I attended a wine tasting dinner event at Villa Sorrento and I have to say it was absolutely superb. The owner Sal and his wife were present and oversaw the entire event. Made us feel very welcome. The wine choices were spectacular and the dinner was just as spectacular. Great waiter staff, great chef and atmosphere. Highly recommend this family operated restaurant. Five stars across-the-board“

“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.“

“I went there today with my family and had amazing experience. The waitress was amazing. She was very friendly to speak with the food was unbelievable. I definitely will be back in recommend this place to my friends and family. Haven’t had Italian food like this in a while. awesome experience if I could give a 10 star I will Definitely in place to check out“

“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.“

“Amazing staff and food best pizza on Long Island by far“

“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“

“You can't find a single thing on the menu that isn't delicious. I've been here several times, and each time I try something different and am always happy with my choice. The portions are generous and the prices are in line with what you should pay for what you get. The servers are always pleasant, and the bussers are like ninjas in clearing used dinnerware. This is a restaurant to surely be a repeat customer.“

“I had the bowtie pasta with shrimp in a pink sauce, and it was delicious! The dine in seating area was small but comfortable. We were a party of 10. The pizza area was busy with a lot of take out pizzas, and it was a Wednesday night.
This was my 1st time at Bonappetito in Smithtown, I live near Port Jefferson, and I definitely will go back again!“

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.“

“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“

“The BEST pizza in the world!“

“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!!“

“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!“

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

“Had a wonderful lunch with three friends today. Great food and service. Such a wonderful surprise will certainly make it a go to place. Thanks for a great lunch.“

“Every good service and great food“

“If you are looking for a great place with great food to host a party, definitely use Alfie's! we hosted a baby shower in their party room with 36 guests, with room for more. The food was delicious and the space was beautiful! Everyone who works there was so kind and helpful. Book your next birthday, shower, or any kind of celebration at Alfie's, you won't be disappointed!“

“great food excellent service“

“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 recently hosted my bridal shower at Villa Olivetti, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The food was exceptional; all my guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious everything was. An added bonus was the complimentary ice cream they provided when we brought our own cake, which was a lovely touch.

The staff at Villa Olivetti were incredibly attentive. They made sure everyone had drinks and were comfortable throughout the event. They were also very accommodating to guests with specific food preferences or allergies, ensuring everyone had a great time.

Overall, Villa Olivetti made my bridal shower a memorable and enjoyable event. I highly recommend them for any special occasion.“

“Best Sicilian slice around“

“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 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.“
