“An amazing experience. Food was perfect. If you crave the real deal Italian meal on Long Island, look no further. Every dish ordered was perfect! And chatting with Chef/owner Alessandro is always a pleasure. He picked the perfect wine and the entire evening was great! GO!“
“We held a private event for about 25 people last weekend in the upstairs space at Two25 and I could not have been more pleased! Leading up to our event, Andrea was very helpful and responsive, and the rest of the staff was just as incredible day-of. They were attentive to us and our guests (adults and children alike), regularly checking in to make sure everything was going well and everyone had what they needed. The restaurant is beautiful and the food was fantastic. It was the perfect place for our event, and we'll absolutely be back next time we're in the area!“
“(Edited my og review because it was poorly written and rushed.)So there I was, on a spontaneous adventure, when suddenly, BAM! Google throws me a curveball - "Nutella Empanada." You bet I was intrigued. It was like the universe daring me, "Bet, let's go."Stumble into this place, and it's like I've walked into the heart of the local scene. This guy, just oozing neighborhood vibes, hits me with, "You're not from around here, huh? Welcome to the best Italian spot in town." And he didn't stop there - gave me the lowdown on all the hidden gems nearby. This dude was living and breathing local charm, and I was here for it. The lobby? Packed with the coolest cats you could meet.Turns out, snagging a table at this joint is usually like finding a unicorn - pretty darn rare. But guess what? They worked some magic and got us in... into an outdoor igloo, no less! Yeah, you read that right. An igloo! (Peep the pics for proof - it's as rad as it sounds.)Now, let's talk food. Holy smokes, it's delish. The staff? Angels in disguise, I swear. Super friendly, on-point, and ready to make your experience top-notch.Oh, and if you see anything with Vodka sauce on the menu, just do yourself a favor and order it. It's a solid 10/10. Trust.All in all, this spot isn't just a restaurant; it's a local legend. Do yourself a favor and drop by. You won't regret it.“
“DaFranco and Tony without a doubt is the best Italianrestaurant in the Throggs Neck area. The food is delicious. Everything on the menu is awesome! True authentic Italian food. Great ambience and professional staff. Definitely worth the trip!“
“This restaurant can lend itself to a very noisy environment. Yet today, with several tables taken, conversation was easy and able to be heard. We have been here several times for brunch and a couple of times for dinner. Delicious salad with greens, grape tomatoes and fresh red onions cut over a chicken milanese. Companions enjoyed their choices of crab cake benedict and a large cubano sandwich served with homemade shoestring fries. Shared their homemade flourless chocolate cakes served with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. Three happy people after an excellent brunch.“
“Way more than just an espresso bar. They have a kitchen and bakery and all of the food and deserts are amazing. The best coffee I've ever had as well. The prices are some of the cheapest you can find these days. It's a phenomenal place in every “
“What a great experience at Vetro. The staff is amazing. They are so polite and respectful. Special thanks to Teal at the front desk for finding a table for my wife and I so we could celebrate our wedding anniversary!! The place is spotless clean. Food was tasteful and yummy. We're definitely going back.“
“I just found out about this restaurant a week ago and I've already been back again. The food is slamming and so are the drinks! I had the Caesar salad with chicken in it any the flavor was freaking AMAZING. It felt like I was eating a MEAL and it was just a salad. Omg! My price range was between 50 and 100 dollars bc I had 3 drinks (non- happy hour) with that salad. I loved everything.“
“I had the wedding of my dreams in Westbury Manor. My husband and I had a great experience, they made planning for the wedding simple. Sandra was helpful with organizing the reception for us. My bridal attendant Susan was the BEST! I will never forget how attentive and kind she was, she was an angel. George helped on the day of the wedding keep the flow moving and he was super encouraging towards me and my bridal party. Our guests enjoyed the food, they said it was delicious. I recommend this venue ?.“
“Italian restaurant in Roslyn village but not easily seen as its set back by the water. Food is good, service was good. Noisy and dark, needed a flashlight to see the menu.Sales are large size. My favorite in the Bronzino cooked in paper.There is a nearby municipal lot, street parking, and valet parking available“
“Warm, Friendly staff who make you feel welcome and at home. Great place to take the family! Great food, not the usual, very distinctive dishes. Best Pizza on City Island.Vegetarian options: If you call ahead, they will have fresh ingredients to order.Kid-friendliness: Staff went out of the way to engage with my six-year-old Granddaughter.“
“I had an amazing experience at the pizzeria! The pizzas were delicious, with a perfect balance of flavors. What truly stood out was the exceptional customer service - friendly staff, prompt service, and a welcoming atmosphere. A must-visit.“
“I highly recommend eating here!! The food is Amazing!! The Service is always on Spot!! They are always friendly and helpful. You never have to wait to call your server, there always on top of it!! The atmosphere here is so pleasant. So in all you MUST try Filomena's you will not be disappointed!!!!“
“Hi I don't usually don't do reviews but I had a surprise birthday party for my wife on 3/23 of a party of 20 people and from the beginning dealing with and planning with EVA she went up and above my expectations walking me threw everything from beginning to end I can't say enough of her and Barbara and just wanted to thank Barbara our server handled all of us with no issues at all and all of the staff who helped with everything from Eva, Barbara and would give both of them 10 stars and more and food was absolutely exquisite“
“Classic Italian dishes fill the menu. They also have some dishes you'll only find here. Their daily specials are also very good. Staff is extremely friendly. Dinner at the bar is very popular. Gary is a great bartender. I recommend reservations, especially on weekend nights.They are open for lunch. Lunch is a great value.Highly recommend a visit.“
“My recent trip to Long Island was my first time back anywhere near NYC in a few decades. I only had time to get pizza at one place so I picked this place because of the reviews. Got a large sausage (regular NY style), it was very tasty but just a tad too thick for me to be NY style. Great pizza nonetheless but I've had better NY style in the midwest so I can't give it 5 stars. A little thinner and it's probably a 5 star pizza. The flavor is there.“
“Delightful Italian experience! We started with sautéd calamari and the Ceaser perfect for the both of us. The penne a la vodka was aldente and creamy, and the halibut was perfectly cooked amazing with the potato and escarole combo. Exceptional flavors, friendly service a must try! True hidden “
“We had my mothers' 90th birthday last Saturday and we are very pleased with the entire experience. Robbie was a pleasure to work with, he answered all our questions and was helpful with the food choices and the entire setup. Ignacio and Rueben provided outstanding service the day of the party, and dealt with late comers and we even went over the time frame a little bit. Now to the food, wow wow wow! Everything was delicious. The crowds favorite, Ravioli's and Pollo Zingarella. Highly recommend it all! Thank you Piccolo's“
“I've been coming here for almost two years now. After my first visit I was very impressed. We've been coming almost every week since then and I have never had a disappointing meal or experience. The chef cooks everything well from seafood, pastas, meat, chicken and veal entrees to fresh salads, potato croquettes and sautéed veggies! Great selection of wines, drinks, desserts. Lovely clean dining room. Service is always extraordinary whether super busy or just a few tables. Now that I'm retired we livecgoing at lunch time. They have a terrific lunch specialist you're on a fixed income. Generous portions off the regular menu 75% of the time I'm bringing some home. Danny the owner couldn't be nicer or more accommodating. Most of the time Wilson is our server and Luis is the helper. Entire staff is great but really have to applaud Wilson and Luis for how well we've been taken care of from day one! My favorite restaurant, go enjoy, you will go back again and again!“
“This place is so good. They have amazing Italian food although it's in an unexpected place. The servers are also super nice and friendly and the ambience is modern, clean, and pretty cute. I think sometimes they have live music and that's really nice. Make sure to try their pastas. Super delicious“
“We had the espresso martini (no Baileys) We had the bacon wrapped shrimp special appetizer , so good definitely for 1 person. We had the eggplant rigatoni regatti and linguine white clam sauce with shrimp and pancetta both delicious! Cannoli we shared for dessert, yummy !“
“Rialto's motto: Good Friends. Good Food. From my research I surmised Rialto has been around over 14 years. I was surprised the restaurant does not market their establishment date with their motto, as 14+ years is no small feat. My original visit a few years ago, attending an event with my colleagues bundled in a smaller section of the restaurant left a lot to be desired. It had myself questioning whether I should attend yet another milestone event squished in a corner. After succumbing to the pressures as to why I should attend, I was pleased that this evening's Jan 2024 Retirement Dinner, was set up in the larger part of the restaurant. Great company. Entering from the main door you are met with a warm, cozy glow on the smaller, bar side of the restaurant and then an immediate separation to the larger main dining area. The main area allowed the space needed for co-workers not seen in ages an opportunity to mingle freely. Much more comfortable. Good food. A small sample of the Berkshire Pork Chop was perfectly prepared. I definitely recommend. My Almond Crusted Stuffed Chicken Breast was a savory, sweet dish with the accompanying mashed Sweet Potatoes. Another perfect combination. To add to the pleasantries of the evening, our obviously skilled servers offered prompt, satisfactory service. Any request I or my table companions made were fulfilled without any necessary follow up. There may have been exceptions, though all appeared content with the service. If the opportunity arose again and dependent on the circumstances I would return to Rialto. TIP: Parking Lot in back Residential parking available“
“My brother and I had dinner at The Chef's Table in Lynbrook on Sunday evening (3/17). The appetizer and our entrees were excellent, ambience was very nice, service was fantastic, and there weren't a lot of people yakking away, so it was nice and quiet. The only thing I would have preferred was a male server, but the female server was great. I strongly recommend this restaurant for fine food, nice atmosphere, and great service.“
“North shores local staple. It's my go to, hands down. You'd be foolish to go anywhere else. Weather your in pt.wash., Rosslyn or Glenn head. 100% fresh every time. A true family establishment. Never disappointed.Parking: There's always a spotWheelchair accessibility: 4 wheels or two legs, your always welcome.“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Villa Milano, and let me tell you, it was an experience to remember! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that instantly made me feel like family. The crew at Villa Milano is truly exceptional - attentive, friendly, and always ready with a smile.Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the pizza. Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? The pizza at Villa Milano is nothing short of spectacular. Each bite is a symphony of flavors, with a perfect balance of sauce, cheese, and toppings atop a delectably crispy crust. Whether you're a fan of classic combinations or craving something a bit more adventurous, Villa Milano has something for everyone. Trust me when I say, you won't be able to resist going back for seconds (and thirds)!But what truly sets Villa Milano apart is the atmosphere. It's not just a restaurant; it's a place where memories are made and friendships are forged over mouthwatering slices of pizza. Whether you're dining in with friends or grabbing a takeaway, you'll always leave Villa Milano with a smile on your face and a satisfied stomach.In summary, if you're in the mood for delicious pizza served with a side of warmth and hospitality, look no further than Villa Milano. It's a true gem in the world of pizza restaurants, and I can't wait to go back for another slice of perfection.“
“The service at Villaggio's was great! The staff are very accommodating and always working in harmony. The Rigatoni with Burrata and a Marinara Sauce was delicious & my favorite dish. My husband had the Garlic Shrimp with Capellini, Garlic and Oil, which he loved! Thank you Dominick, Bobby, Angela and Staff for making us feel like Family.“
“The service was excellent. Very loud on Peak Busy times. Seating is very tight. They pack you in. If you are looking for a quiet, intimate setting, this is not the place on busy peak times. The food was okay. Steaks are great. Salad was okay. You are going there for the steaks. I had stuffed shrimp with crab meat. Real crab meat. It was a little on the dry side. The potatoes were good. The chocolate cake was decent, but the actual cake was very dry. Service was amazing, and you are not rushed.Parking: Valet parking“
“We had a pleasant visit to Luogo's. All the meals and appetizers were perfect. The sangria was amazing. I doubted our server when I saw he didn't write down our very large order but was relieved when he came back around to confirm he had my meal correctly. It's not a place I'd go back to by choice but defiantly wouldn't mind coming back if someone chooses this place for their birthday again. The vibe of this place is very nice, romantic, dress up nice and go in a date kind of place. I did see kids here but I wouldn't pick this as a place to bring younger children to. One thing I didn't like too much was one of the workers here knew someone from out party and kept coming over having side conversations and even bought him and only him a shot of some fancy cognac which was kind of rude seeing as he could of atleast offered the birthday girl (very clear by the balloons who we were celebrating) a shot as well. We were a party of about 14 so I get not getting a round for the table.“
“Ardito's is staple of the community there in Mineola. Anyone who knows Rosa and Tony will agree with me that they are both amazing. The food is always on point and handed to you with a smile. The lunch hours can get pretty crowded and busy but is worth the wait. I recommend Arditos for everything from sandwiches to salads and pasta.. eggplant parm to die for and some of the best chicken cutlets I have ever had!“
“Simply fantastic. Fresh crisp salads, with the perfect amount of dressing. Hot mouth-watering, cheese pie that was just out of the oven. And thoughtfully wrapped decadent chicken parm sandwich to go (and made everyone on the plane jealous when eaten a few hours later). Location super easy to get to from Cross Island Pkwy. Kudos & keep slayin’!!“
“I've been coming here wooo for a good amount of years, I am from Queens and when I want authentic Italian food I come here why multiple reasons one of them it's their food. I am always trying something new and they never seem to disappoint me! It's crazy I live in Queens and come this far to have a slice, lasagna or anything different today I went in and had a Philly cheese steak, it was delicious but not like the Philly cheese steak sandwiches from Philly lol. But over all I'll have it again it was delicious hands down.If you're in town, check them out right off the the LIR North Station Plaza in Great Neck. It's better than Gino's thats for sure!!!Kid-friendliness: It's very family oriented“
“My family and I went there to celebrate my husband’s and my birthday. We were treated like royalty, the service, food and lovely atmosphere couldn’t be better! This restaurant truly lives up to its name! We look forward our next visit!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“Great family feeling. Delicious food...owner???.Had my birthday dinner tonight....can't wait to go back!!!!Kid-friendliness: My 7 year old granddaughter Abigail loves it there. She can practice the two words she knows in Italian... Ciao Bella and loves the food“
“Rob, Toniann, Maria and the staff went above and beyond for my mom's memorial service..all messages and questions were answered promptly, food was beyond delicious. we had family style and everyone loved all the choices..next time I want eggplant that comes close to moms, I'm going to orricos!“
“This is just like being home & the atmosphere is very comforatble. The service & staff are extremely attentive and very pleasant, especially Robert & Cheech. The drinks & food are terrific and the dinner specials are extraordinary & delightful. We always enjoy ouselves and it makes for an easy decision to want to come back.“
“We have lived around the corner since Sapori's opened and never went in before. Yesterday the rain forced us to venture in and we were so pleasantly surprised, and felt silly for never eating here before. The service is great and the food is delicious and fresh. Some other local spots have drastically gone down hill with their food quality, so it's nice to go somewhere and get an amazing meal that's worth your money. We will definitely be regulars from now on! Looking forward to next time!“
“La Ginestra has become out favorite restaurant in Glen Cove. The food and service are great. And here's a little secret. If you don't see it on the menu, ask your server if the chef can prepare what you want. No guarantee, but you may be surprised that get what you wish for.“
“Although the place was busy for a Friday, we were seated immediately at the bar. Food choices is mostly italian and a brick over pizza. Bar service is good Adrian the bartender makes the best Martinis.. Tried the wild berry cosmo and I'm addicted. Also tried the coconut Martini which was also quite good. Pours are generous. For appetizers the Octopus was quite good. Served with Hummus and Crisps.. You will eat everything in the plate.. Perfect compliments. For my entree.. Had the RVC pizza.. White sauce pizza with toppings which included Prosciutto, arugula and parmigiana cheese. Fantastic... Will make this a part of my regular rotation“
“This was our 2nd time to Matteo's. We were introduced to it by friends just last week and we knew we were going to return soon. Their special $39 menu is fabulous. They don't skimp on the selections, food is delicious and the portions are generous. Not to mention, they give you a glass of wine with it. Whoever put the menu together is genius and we can't wait to return and bring some friends and family to our new favorite place.“
“We recently moved to Lynbrook and Gallery Four is one of our favorite restaurants for take-out. We order frequently. Our meal comes with salad and bread. Their food is delicious, fresh, and affordable. We have ordered chicken francese, lasagna, chicken parm, penne alla vodka, and garlic knots. Will continue ordering from them and trying new meals. ?“
“This long time favorite continues on with great service and delicious food. Parking during the day is hit and miss but that aside for those of us who love a local red table cloth Italian with Italians at the helm DiMaggio's is it. One tip try the Lasagna and you will be hooked for life. Large menu and it is all delicious.“
“We had the espresso martini (no Baileys) We had the bacon wrapped shrimp special appetizer , so good definitely for 1 person. We had the eggplant rigatoni regatti and linguine white clam sauce with shrimp and pancetta both delicious! Cannoli we shared for dessert, yummy !“
“Amazing place. Definitely a Greek touch, even to the Italian dishes. Their avgolemono soup is amazing. Pizza is excellent, too. Ingredients are fresh. Staff is lovely and the service/ambiance are very welcoming and quick paced. Would recommend to anyone.“
“Incredible. We were recommended by our friends.for our rehearsal dinner. We met with the owner and staff of Toscanini a few months before the wedding and not only felt like cherished guests, but like family. This spot has become special to us and we have gone a few times since. Their energy and warmth is so palpable and they treated all 30 or so of us like family during the rehearsal dinner itself. Food was wonderful, ambiance was wonderful. Love this place.“
“Came here for a Christmas party last year. The food and service was great! I would definitely return with my family to try some of their other menu items.The only problem I had wouldn't apply to anyone else coming here, but for the Christmas party, the inclusion of a written menu with a description of each dish would have been helpful to both the waiter and everyone dining. Instead, the server had to individually ask every single person at each table if they wanted 1 of 3 options as their dish and he did so pretty quickly. Many people didn't understand what the options were upon his first recall and needed him to repeat it. I think the poor waiter said "Chicken Francese" 100 times in 5 minutes.“
“Dinner tonight was excellent! Staff is amazing everyone is friendly, helpful and hardworking. We found this gem in January and we have been back 3 times since then and we couldn't find anything wrong with this restaurant. Great staff, great and plentiful food. Don't miss out!“
“I really enjoyed eating at Olive Graden BGC. Especially the salad. I got 5 refills of it. The staffs was very accomodating and attended all our needs. Kudos! For a job well done.Vegetarian options: I love eating vegetables so I recommend this for vege lovers.“
“Absolutely fantastic! What a gem!We were in town for a very quick visit and stumbled across this amazing restaurant!We ordered the calamari as an appetizer and it was simply delicious. Tender, cooked perfectly, and very tasty.As a main dish, I ordered the special seafood pasta fra diavolo. It was amazing. My wife ordered the branzino special and that too was divine.We closed out with a tiramisu that was one of the best we ever had.Added bonus, Tuesday is 40% off wine, so we had a great bottle for a super deal!Lastly, Cristian, our server was top notch!We will highly recommend this incredible restaurant with great ambiance and over the top food!“
“Always wanted to visit finally didCan't wait to go backDebra and staff were great, my wife loved the veal sorrento and I had a double cut pork chop from the specials that was fantasticDid not realize until later that was probably Guy at the stove“
“The BEST Italian food! Starting from their seafood, chicken, veal and pizza. Everything is awesome. The atmosphere, customer service to even the type of clientele that they attract. Everything is amazing at this restaurant. Thank you Kevin and Iavorone family!“
