“My wife and I are pizza fanatics specifically Neapolitan style. A hybrid gas, wood fire grill that makes a near perfect pie. We split a Margherita and Mushroom pie.

The Cesar salad was great, a touch of lemon zest and crispy lettuce.

The meatballs were high quality and this is coming from a self proclaimed meatball master.

This place is an absolute MUST!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!“

“We picked Rialto to try for a last minute dinner and had a great experience. A friendly and professional server brought our drinks quickly and made a great wine recommendation. We split the stuffed artichoke which was tasty and a perfect size so we were still able to enjoy our entrees. Husband got Osso Bucco over saffron risotto and I got shrimp and spinach rigatoni in a light tomato sauce. Both were delicious and I was surprised how many shrimp were included. I couldn't even finish them. Overall, we had a great night and look forward to a return visit.“

“My go to place for special occasions. Mike always makes us feel at home. Not only is the food fantastic, but the staff is helpful and kind. They even went out of their way to help my handicap mother get in and out of the car! Food is delicious and tons of variety when compared to the standard Italian restaurant. Great portions and even a decent amount of healthy options. Thank you to the staff for making my night even more special!“

“The pan seared roasted chicken is amazing!!! My family and I found this place a few weeks ago. It's a beautifully decorated, clean and fairly new establishment with a very polite staff. My children have had the ravioli, the penne and the chicken fingers and each loved their meals. It's a hidden gem that we are happy to have found :)“

“We had a last minute reservation for 8 people, and we were lucky enough to snag a table. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE! Our entire table loved the food. From the appetizers (the warm bread, the amazing carmalized onion spread, & the Calamari), to the main courses (the NY strip steak, the shrimp, and the ravioli), to the dessert (trust me... get the bread pudding!) everything was impeccable. The service staff was also amazing, very attentive and kind. I will definitely be back!“

“This is a really delicious Italian restaurant on the South Shore of Long Island just north of Long Beach. Open for lunch everyday with regular specials.

You should consider if have a large party and/or have young children. They are very accommodating.

Food was fresh and delicious.

Service was excellent. All staff were very attentive.

Clean restaurant, clean bathroom that has paper towels to dry your hands.

Parking can be tough in the evening and summertime.“

“Atlantic Pizzeria on Atlantic Ave in Freeport NY- It was my first time visiting this restaurant today and though I don’t normally write reviews, I felt compelled to state what a wonderful establishment! My daughter, who is very shy, spilled a drink in there and the workers replaced it immediately at no charge and cleaned it up right away! As a parent, this meant the world to me because I did not want her to feel uncomfortable.. thank you and we will be back! Please support!“

“The food here was absolutely outstanding! My mother and I visited, and we were both blown away. She had the four cheese ravioli with vodka sauce, and I had the pollo zingarella—both dishes were seasoned to perfection and tasted incredible. Even though it’s Italian cuisine, the food felt surprisingly light and fresh as we ate.

We travel often and consider ourselves serious food critics, and this place is hands-down the best Italian food we've ever had. In fact, it's now on our short list of the best meals we’ve enjoyed anywhere in the world!

The service was equally impressive—very personable and attentive. We even had the chance to chat with the owner, who was incredibly friendly and shared some great tips on how to make a high-quality Marsala sauce at home.

Highly, highly recommend coming here. I’ll be making trips to Long Island just to eat here again and try more of their menu!“

“Just wanted to leave a review for Weston! He was amazing as our server. Super attentive, gave great recommendations and would follow up on refills etc without us even having to ask! He really made our experience that much better.

Will definitely be back again!“

“Nice huge portions , delicious food, great service ! We will be back.“

“Went to the Farmingdale location last night, service was fast and great, drinks were tasty, food was excellent!“

“Great food, great service! Will be back for sure!“

“We had Thanksgiving dinner here with my two boys. The service was absolutely outstanding. Our waitress was amazing . The food was beyond what I expected. Well done!!!! The portions were beyond believable and believe it or not the take home portions were just as amazing as they were when first brought out. More than 5 stars. Excellent evening and the price was ridiculously resendable. Great job to all the cooks and the people that don't get the recognition they deserve in the preparation of this fantastic meal.“

“The owner is great, the bartenders are great, Kerry the manager is so kind and nice and accommodating. The food is delicious; there’s too much food there’s always at least two meals for each order the food that you make. The overall ambience is fun as the patrons that frequent this restaurant are regulars. There’s just a homey and fun tinge to this Bellmore Classic.“

“Great food. People are really nice as well.“

“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!“

“Want to thank the folks at Tre Scalini for helping me organize a funeral luncheon for my brother in law’s mom. They are not from the area and tasked us with finding a place near Pine Lawn. The team was easy to work with, accommodated all of the family’s allergies and was affordable. We can’t thank them enough! Highly recommend.“

“wait staff was pleasant.very professional,we had young kids very accommodating.food was perfect temperature,tasty.variety, great menu.drfinately fresh.“

“Excellent service food drink and ambience whether date night family night or flying solo. Italian Bistro done right. Took ole neighborhood lifetime pal Nick D'Agostino from the infamous Venezia de Notte on Central Ave in Yonkers and he dug L&P big time.“

“Franina's Restaurant, one of the premier Italian eateries on Long Island, offers consistently fresh, high-quality cuisine and attentive, friendly service. Their extensive Italian wine selection, housed in an impressive cellar, complements any meal. Customers are guaranteed satisfaction, no matter their order. The only potential drawback is the sometimes challenging parking situation.“

“Went in with a party of 10. 4 of us eat gluten free. The owner came over and explained everything we could have, which was a lot. They have gf pasta. And said that if we call ahead they will make custom meals like gluten free chicken parmigiana. Joe took our order and remembered everything perfectly. We will definitely be back!“

“I came here on 5/28/25 for dinner take out/pick up. I ordered their house/garden salad with grilled chicken, Gnocchi Bolognese, and it came with I believe it is possibly fresh ricotta cheese, which was really good, and it also came with some really good bread. I am a really big salad person and I did not really like the salad or the salad dressing that it came with. My opinion, I was not a fan of the field greens, the field greens did not smell/seem as fresh, compared to other salads that I order from other places. The pasta dish was ok/good but I was not a fan of this either. I was really a fan of the side of fresh ricotta cheese and the delicious bread it came with. It seemed to have a great atmosphere and many people were there eating when I came to pick my food up. The service was good and accurate. This review is simply just my personal opinion. Photos are attached.“

“Awesome food great friendly service one of our all time favorites“

“We had our daughter’s first birthday here and they knocked it out of the park. Anthony and John and the rest of the staff are awesome. Food was incredible. Highly recommended!“

“The food is consistently excellent. The team is very professional and makes each guest feel like a VIP! Wonderful and welcoming atmosphere for almost 40 years! La Parma II is a great asset to Huntington!“

“The atmosphere was great and food tasted yummy. Since it’s my first time here, I don’t really read the menu and the staff was very patient to explain everything to us, especially to remind us not to order too many since we’ve only got two people.
Strongly recommend the mussels😋“

“Amazing food and Italian experience! The family atmosphere, menu specials presentation, and food make for an unbelievable experience. You are a part of their family for an evening, and boy are you lucky!“

“I had my son's wedding rehearsal dinner at Zona last night. I was originally booked to have the party on Saturday, but the bride came down with the flu. Gianna was so helpful and accommodating. She was able to change the date for me without hesitation. The day of the affair, the staff was so helpful in getting the room set up for us. Our waitress, Jodi, was absolutely incredible. She made sure that our guests had a fresh drink before they even realized their drink was empty. The food was delicious and plentiful. But most of all, the service that Jodi provided to us was outstanding. I would book another event at Zona without hesitation.“

“Absolutely the best! Treated us like family! Authentic as is it gets! 5 stars!“

“Family place...always good...and very reasonable...like eating at momma's....Really a well kept secret by those who think food is more important than a perfectly lit room...must try....you will make friends there.“

“My wife and I recently hosted a baby shower for our daughter. To say the party was excellent wouldn’t be accurate. It was more than excellent. The food, the service, the staff could not have been better. All of the 55 guests raved about every aspect of the gathering. Many of these guests had never been to Bacaro before but now said they would definitely be coming back. If I had to come up with one negative… I couldn’t. Thanks for making a special day everything we could have hoped for.“

“The restaurant is so charming, and the service was excellent , excellent choice on food ! I'll definitely be back“

“Fun time with friends! Our waiter Puma was excellent!“

“I have been here numerous times and have always had the best experience.All waiters and helpers pitch in to make the service fantastic and have recommended it to all my friends.“

“Note of Appreciation: Luncheon Service Jan 8, 2025 Dear Sean B & Trento Staff, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the impeccable service and care your entire team provided during the recent funeral of my brother, Steven Blair. On what was undoubtedly a difficult day, your professionalism and attentiveness stood out, creating an environment that allowed our family to come together in remembrance and support.

I would especially like to commend Sean for the exceptional management of the logistics and preparation. The quality of the food and the attention to detail did not go unnoticed, and it sincerely exceeded our expectations.
