“I love this restaurant, it’s definitely one of my all time favorites. It has amazing flatbread pizza with all the gourmet toppings you can think AND they have a few dinner specials that are absolutely delicious. Lastly, everything is fresh, tasty and not overly priced. If you haven’t been here you are missing out.“

“I go to Rino's for the amazing customer service - I go back to Rino's for the delicious food. While you're waitingon the0tk0p, check out the little Italian grocery section full of imported oils and vinegar and traditional ils school pasta shapes like orecchiette.“

“Quaint middle of nowhere America pizza spot with jaw dropping customer service. As they were closing during a snow storm they stayed an extra 30min to make a pizza. And the food was good! There’s hope in humanity and customer service. Good crew, good food.“

“What a Joy to have this place on our way home to Kerhonkson.

We lucked out and landed on a Tuesday in which there is a special promotion for a pie. Not that you need one because the pies at GP are astronomical (and delicious).

I stopped by with my 3yr old and pregnant wife , and we didn't have to break the piggy bank to satisfy our cravings, which were insatiable.

I believe it was the owners who served us then his team mates who were all graceful and professional.

Tell you what, I think we'll stop by again.

Keep it up keep it real!“

“Very pleasant surprise! It was an AARP Promotion - free slice and beverage after speaking with an AARP volunteer. Never knew about Rocco's before this invitation to lunch. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our pepperoni slices and bottled iced tea. We were treated just as politely with our free meal as if we reached in our pocket to pay. We will definitely return for lunch/dinner when our travels bring us to New Paltz again!“

“Ordered rigatoni with meatballs and it was delicious. I like that it came wet so the pasta wasn’t dry from soaking up sauce . The meat balls were sliced and I like that again it was delicious.
Mom ordered eggplant and came with spaghetti and she liked hers too.
Thank you !“

“Lombardi’s of Middle Island is a true gem for lovers of classic Italian cuisine. From the moment you walk in, the warm ambiance and attentive staff make you feel like family. The setting is cozy yet upscale, perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions.
I ordered the Chicken Parmesan, and it was absolutely phenomenal. The chicken was perfectly breaded—crispy on the outside, juicy and tender inside. It was generously smothered in a rich, tangy marinara sauce and topped with a blanket of melted mozzarella that added just the right amount of creaminess. The portion size was hearty and satisfying, served alongside a bed of al dente pasta that soaked up the sauce beautifully.
What really stood out was the balance of flavors. The tomato sauce tasted fresh and homemade, with a hint of garlic and basil that elevated the dish. It’s clear Lombardi’s takes pride in using quality ingredients and traditional recipes.
Service was prompt and friendly, and the staff made great recommendations. The garlic bread starter was also a hit—crispy, buttery, and loaded with flavor.
Parking was easy, and the overall experience was smooth from start to finish. Whether you're a local or just passing through Long Island, Lombardi’s is a must-visit. Their Chicken Parmesan alone is worth the trip.
Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Italian comfort food done right.“

“Ordered a large tray of Chicken Francese and it was AMAZING. Flavorful and tender even after reheating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Very good food The turkey and roast beef are actually cooked there so that way there's less preservatives and b******* in it The turkey by far is pretty much the best seller I've seen so far and they use very fresh ingredients. it's better than buying a breakfast sandwich that's been sitting for a few hours then just get one made to order however you want“

“Nice staff, good prices, solid Pizza. Next time I’ll have to try some kitchen food! Pizza is excellent. Almost went back for seconds lol“

“We went with 16 men for the Holidays! Waiter on point right down to the last detail of everyone meticulous order! Chef Jordan everything cook to perfection - Place was packed - now I know Why!! Will go back with my Family! Thanks!!“

“Great Service and the wings are awesome!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆
Frank’s Deli is one of my favorite local spots! Their fresh sausage is absolutely amazing — you can really taste the quality. I also love their good, hearty seeded bread — perfect for sandwiches or just dipping in olive oil and provolone cheese.

Whenever they have it fresh, I always grab the broccoli rabe, Italian long hots, and eggplant caponata — they’re so flavorful On a few occasions, I’ve gotten the caponata or long hots that seemed past their prime, but that’s rare, and it doesn’t take away from how great this place usually is.

When everything’s fresh (which it usually is), Frank’s is unbeatable. It’s a neighborhood gem!“

“the food is great there i tried some of the baked ziti and the wings and my family ordered from there half a tray of seafood too of everything it was to die for even thou i cant eat shrimp and lobster“

“Stonehedge has always been a favorite restaurant for our family. Unfortunately due to life circumstances we hadn’t been there for a couple of years. My husband and I decided to end the drought and went to celebrate our anniversary and we are so glad we did. Everything was even better than we remembered it. It started with the delicious and wonderfully fresh dinner rolls that we’ve always loved. The French onion soup was the best I’ve had in ages (I’m a French onion soup snob😂) and the baked stuffed clams were just as my husband remembered them. The dinner salad with the house dressing was cold and fresh, and we highly recommend the double cut pork chop and the jumbo shrimp francaise as dinner entrees. We both left full and more than satisfied - they never disappoint! Thank you to the folks at Stonehedge for the great meal and good service. It felt like we were coming home! We promise you’ll see us again soon.“

“Great Service and the wings are awesome!“

“We used to love this place. Until me and my wife are sitting at a table eating our pizza when a worker decides to clean the rugs an hour before closing. He shook the rug in the air next to our table got dirt and dust all over us and our food never going back.“

“They have GIANT pizzas every night which are awesome and large pizza every Tuesday only $10.99, you can’t cook for much less and in the summer no one wants to they always say 20 minutes but they have it ready in less than half the time Definitely going through the summer every week, after we go back to giant pizzas but they are so big we ask them to double cut“
