“Cosy little place with the Italian vibe you'd expect from a charming Long Island Italian place. It's half traditional slices and half sit down Italian restaurant. The sit down food is great and the pizza is higher level. Not your average corner store.They have a wine selection worthy of this level of Italian cuisine.I always judge Italian restaurants by their eggplant dishes. This one passes the test.Servers are quick and courteous. They always have more people on staff then needed so there's never a wait. At least every time I've been there.I used to go when I grew up a few towns over and it doesn't seem to have changed.Their Sicilian is my go to when it comes to slices. I like their marinara sauce for dipping as well.Vegetarian options: Pizza and eggplant dishes.Parking: Always more then enough. The parking lot is huge.Kid-friendliness: Not kid oriented but definitely kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: It's ground level.“
“Ordered a pie with Meatball to pick up. They were busy and didn't pick up when I called, but I got a call back 2 minutes later apologizing (which was unnecessary) asking how they could help me. Warm greeting upon arrival and personable small talk. Great team! And the food was perfect, crust was perfectly cooked and flakey. Meatballs were tasty and well made. Definitely my new regular spot!“
“With so many pizza choices in the sounding area, I honestly think this is the best. Get a fresh pie, the slices that lay around don’t do it justice. They make a hearty side salad, unlike any other in the area filled with fresh vegetables. And olives, which most places don’t put.“
“Our favorite restaurant on Long Island hands down! From the moment you walk in, the ambiance and staff exude warmth and authenticity, creating the perfect atmosphere for a delightful meal. The service was impeccable. The staff members were not only attentive but also incredibly knowledgeable about the menu offerings. Sabrina, our server, provided excellent recommendations and ensured that every aspect of our dining experience was top-notch. Our group of 6 sat at the lounge high-tops and enjoyed Heather's delicious craft cocktails. Each dish we ordered showcased fresh, high-quality ingredients and Chef Marco's skillful execution, from the homemade pasta dishes to the wood-fired courses and Sabrina's homemade desserts. The wine selection perfectly complemented the meal, with a diverse range of options to suit every palate. We had their newly released Osteria Umbra wine, and it was delightful. Osteria Umbra exceeds our expectations every time. It's the kind of restaurant where you can truly savor each moment and will be making the next reservation on your way out. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic dining experience!“
“I have past this restaurant many times and finally made it for dinner. My wife and I Enjoyed everything we had. Grilled Octopus, Frutti de Mare garlic and oil the way I wanted it. Absolutely delicious. Thank you to the staff that were tentative and very accommodating. Can't wait to go back.“
“Had a great time at Butera's in Bay Shore last night (despite it being St. Patrick's day Bar Crawl Weekend in the town). The food was outstanding! We had the Gnocchi and Lasagna and I could eat loaves of that bread if given the opportunity. I'm not a fan of Rainbow cookies or desserts in general, but the Rainbow Cookie Cheesecake is a must! Can't wait to go back and try everything, because narrowing down what I wanted to eat was one of the hardest decisions of the night!“
“Came here based on a recommendation. I am not a wing person so I had a meatball hero and a Caesar salad. Both were fresh and delicious. The staff were all friendly and helpful and I got my food within a few minutes. There are very few seats inside so getting your food to go is probably a better option. There are plenty of food choices in this immediate area but KC's is definitely worth a visit.Parking: Parking is not a problem here.“
“We went for a birthday dinner. The food was amazing! The service was impeccable. The staff was perfect and friendly! Our water glasses were always full even at the end of the meal when most restaurant staff goes on to newer customers they never left us. Have I mentioned the food was wonderful??? If you love seafood you will be very happy. We will definitely be back! Thank you!“
“Been going there for 25 years the best pizza in Patchogue Bellport and surrounding areas Rocco is a great guy and so are his kids friendly courteous and makes pizza for the people that is good five star 10 star 20 star whatever this place is it“
“Our party of 7 dined here tonight to celebrate two birthdays. The food, staff and service were excellent! We all had something different and all had nothing but good things to say. The food came out piping hot and delicious and the portions were big. I thought we would be taking some home but the food was so good we all ate every bit of what was on the plate. Joe was one of our servers and he made us feel like family. The decor was cozy and beautiful. Hi highly recommended this restaurant. We will definitely be back.“
“ALWAYS TOP NOTCH. We went on a Friday night. We didn't know it was that last of resturaunt week. We usually try to avoid resturaunt week. We ordered the special of the day. Mahi mahi with muscles and calamari over linguine. OMG soooooooo good. Always greT food personable staff and super nice owner.“
“First time at Ciro's. Greeted immediately. We wanted a certain table so we waitied for them so set up. I think they were a little short on wait staff but there were plenty of buspeople so bread and OO came out fast. Took a little while for the drink order but once he took that the service was excellent. We had a full baked clams (yummy) and Rice balls (5 delicious Arancici in a little ricotta and red sauce, also delicious.) My entree was the pounded Veal Chop Voldestana and it was the size of Home Plate and outstanding. I recommend it. My wife had their signature Lobster Rav. Also top notch. All the food was hot and fresh. Overall and outstanding meal. Not cheap but they offer great value and quality.“
“The food was delicious, everyone was very happy with what they got. The service was outstanding, the waitress was super friendly and accommodating as well as very attentive. Once the restaurant was filled to capacity the noise level was a bit high but not unbearable. Will definitely visit Cafe Red again.“
“We’ve ordered through uber eats twice and have been so happy every time! The margarita pizza and the vodka pie are both great.I was prompted to review with 5 stars because i ordered a ginger ale, and they didnt have any. Not only did they read the order instructions and replace it with a sprite, they also left an apology note on my drink! They not only have stellar food, but they clearly have great people working for them too.“
“We had a very friendly waitress. She recommended the rice balls, and they were excellent. There was also a tv in the dining room and they changed it to the NASCAR race for me. The bread was nice and the garden salad was surprisingly tasty. Usually tomatoes are pale white and bland this time of year, but they had some nice ones in the salad. My entree was the Chicken Monachina. The portion size was very generous. Maybe a little more cheese than I would've liked. The chicken was of good quality and had no gristle. I will come again if I am in the area.“
“Recently visited with friends for lunch. Table service was excellent with server explaining the specials along with recommendations on the basic menu items. Dining area was clean and overall ambiance simple but appealing. Ordered the chicken roll which they specifically cooked for me and a vegetable which were cooked to perfection. Overall service was great. Server checked up on us multiple times and we felt right at home, not rushed at all. Restaurant located on the main road but entrance and parking are behind the strip center off Hawkins.“
“Absolutely amazing food! So fresh, everything is made to order, best eggplant parmesan I have ever had! My daughter had the Carrot Ginger Soup with Mascarpone & Amaretti Crumbles and that was incredible. Service was impeccable, would give it 10 stars if I could!“
“A lot of fake reviews so here’s a real one.This is a unique slice, it’s very saucy. Never seen so much sauce on a slice, amazing to dip there god-tier garlic knots in.2 slices, a knot, and a soda for 10$ is amazing value too.Pizza isn’t cooked properly every time so it can be soggy. But this spot NAILS garlic knots. This is the best knot on the island.Pizza could be a 5/5 or a 3/5 depending on your pie - there isn’t consistency“
“We have lived in Oakdale for 6+ years and have always complained that the only thing we didn't like was the lack of good pizza/italian takeout! We finally expanded our search a little bit and luckily found this place. I am really picky about the pizza - if you're going to splurge, it better be worth it! And this pizza is so worth it. Every topping you could want & all the basics were perfect.Everything was phenomenal, fresh, delivered really fast, priced great, and service was amazing (called to check on custom request via online app to make sure they understood 100% correctly - we all know this is not always the case!). Cannot recommend highly enough. Give them a try - you will be so happy.“
“We come here often and have not been disappointed. Great selection of specialty slices. Knots are big and fluffy. Could use a little more garlic (wink wink ?) but still tasty af. Wife is raving about the veggie slice tonight. Tomatoes, Broccoli, onions, breaded eggplant, good ratio of mozz and sauce...CheersWorth a stop.“
“This hidden gem looks like a hole in the wall do not be fooled the food is excellent. The staff amazing and fun and more importantly, the owner is always their! He also great his guests and knows all the regulars names he really cares about his guests. It is not fancy but homey, cozy and fun we love this place! The prices amazing!“
“Furci's was never my favorite however I tried them again, it was awesome! Their specialty pies are so good with a thin crusty pie is my favorite. They do not disappoint, quality and with chef skills. So I would like to say - if you haven't been check them out.“
“Our first time here and what a great experience! I love the coziness of the restaurant. Everyone is very friendly and attentive. Menu has so much to choose from! It was very hard to decide. I went with the Shrimp and Risotto and it was delicious! My husband had the chicken scarpiarello and he said it was awesome! Our Martinis were perfect and the apple tart and ice cream was divine! I look forward to going back!“
“So friendly! So nice! Open late and delicious food!!! Something for everyone. Tonight we had everything delivered and I'm so glad!!! We had pizza, knots, the BEST mozzarella sticks, a yummy Greek salad, delicious spanakopita, and baked clams. Everything came nice and hot. Perfect Sunday night dinner for a late night with the family.“
“I stopped in for a few slices after seeing my doctor, who is next door, and I am glad I did! The pizza not only looks delicious, it is insanely delicious! It's some of the best pizza I have had on Long Island! (and I have had a lot, haha). This place is under new ownership, and the owner is so nice you can tell he really cares about the customer experience and delivering amazing food and quality! Also, given what prices for slices lately have been, the fact that you get such large slices at such fair prices for such good pizza is really nice. I highly recommend this place for great slices, and I am sure the rest of the food is great, too. I will try it soon.“
“Have been a regular at Branchinelli for years. Food is always great. Service is good. Even when there is a line to wait, you are called within a reasonable time. Would recommend to everyone. If it is just Pizza, full meal or catering, can't go wrong“
“Oh little green olive, what do you say?How do you feel mr black olive?Only dismay?But why feel this way you briny hero?Champion of the salad.Oh, for there are no olives. Yes, zero.Like my nickname in high school. zero.Like my chances of conceiving in my baron womb. Zero.Like The balance of my bank account, as I spent my last penny on pizza and salad. Zero.It’s as if this location doesn’t realize I am a close relative to Long Island’s number one customer. Heart = shattered. I’ll be back, just hope there’s olives in my salad next time. By the way this location also has pizza and its fantastic.“
“I've been here about ten times and the pizza just gets better and better. The place is very cozy and the staff is very hospitable. I had the chicken Caesar slice and a Sicilian slice. Both were great. The Sicilian tasted like the ones I ate growing up in NY. Quality ingredients and a crisp crust. The chicken Caesar slice had a scratch made caesar dressing that would be amazing on any salad. This place is very busy. If you want to enjoy your pizza there, come early.“
“I've lived in the area for years and never been inside this place until two weeks ago. The inside of the establishment has this classy old-school charm about it. It was a tiny bit confusing because they had the podium in the front by the door and the sign on it said to wait there I noticed everybody walked in anyway so I just went. Maybe they can hide that somewhere else until it's that time of the night or something? Anyway, one of my favorites slices is the grandma slice and I had to try theirs because it was suggested over and over to me by many people. So after finally trying one slice, I ended up buying a whole pie and taking it home. Yes, it's a tiny bit expensive in comparison to the other places locally but the quality of pie is worth the extra money. If you want to be taken back in time and enjoy a great slice then come here.“
“So happy we found this place. Were always looking for great Pizza nice crust not too thick. So many different choices always ready & the specialty rolls, capellini cakes are so delish.. and everything is a fair price especially for the good quality you get.They give back alot to those whom may need help as well and that means something to have a business give back to the community. Were not even local but drive over every week for our take out & always pop in when we are passing through.Everyone's always friendly and counter help always knows whats out so they are helpful to suggest thigs to try..“
“First time here so I didn't know what to expect but I was very happy that I chose to give this place a try. Service was excellent and the food was delicious and plentiful I will definitely be back in to try other items on the menu keep up the good work and chef never let the flame go out I could taste the passion in which you cook “
“We are long time patrons of this restaurant. Owners and management has changed over the years but the staff has stayed and true to their craft. Tonight we had a party of 16 and were treated like family. Not one missed step even with another large party and and a full house.“
“Live piano and saxophone created a classy atmosphere. Julie was our waitress. The service was impeccable. The food was amazing. The drinks were tasty. They even made mocktails for my daughter. Any special requests were met with yes of course no problem attitude. We were celebrating my friends birthday and they brought over the saxophone to sing happy birthday at the table. We couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable experience and we will definitely be back!!“
“The food was GREAT. Our waitress was super friendly. We had the cupped pepperoni pizza, cheese calzone, and shells with bolanese sauce. A Glass of wine and an iced tea. For like 50 bucks. We will absolutely be back!!!?Parking: Could definitely use more spots.“
“This place was great! Had a party to attend there, the food came out family style, appetizers were crispy and fresh, Caesar Salad, Fried Calamari, Mozzarella sticks, baked clams, fried Zucchini. Then lunch choices, Shrimp Scampi, Eggplant Rollatini & Chicken Piccata. Everything brought out was so delicious and well done, the pasta was not overcooked, the sauce was savory. I would recommend this place to anyone who was looking for a delicious meal at reasonable price!“
“Do yourself a favor an order the egg plant parm roll. It's amazing and has become a new family favorite. We've ordered takeout from here a few times and the pizza is really good. However, I don't love the mushroom topping because the mushrooms taste like they're the mushrooms from a can (I'd prefer fresh, but that's just me). I'll continue to order from here.“
“This place has some of the best Italian food on LI. The portions can be big since it’s a family style/sharing restaurant. Take away or dine in, the food is always amazing and I can’t recommend this place enough. My favorite is the chicken parm. The staff is also really friendly and the service was great.“
“We almost purchased a home in what was once a decayed and depressed Bay Shore in 1988. Wish we had because, like Patchogue, this sea side town is quite beautiful.

“I’ve frequented Leonardo’s Pizza Cafe and it never disappoints. From the warm greeting by Leonardo himself to the expertly crafted dishes, it’s a gem. While the pizza is top-notch, don’t miss out on the eggplant and baked ziti. Every bite takes me back to my hometown of Campania. Truly a culinary haven.“
“(This is an edited review) Wow. My original review was pure dissatisfaction. The pizza was a 2/5 and I was being generous in that review because the atmosphere was nice and so were the people. The owner assured me that this was a one-off and that they have a high standard of pizza and made it right with me after my lack-luster purchase. I figured let me try another type in case the pepperoni just isn’t good at this place. I said I would go back and try it again and I did. I tried something sort of different— half pep and half Buffalo chicken. What a difference! I mean, this pizza is by far some of the best I’ve had on Long Island! I expected it to be better, but not to this extent! I actually feel bad for my original review now. So glad I gave them another shot! 5 stars all around! And to the owner: Hats off to you and your team, sir! Well done! That’s how to run a business! Highly, highly recommend!“
“We’ve eaten here many times and it’s always consistently delicious. The service is amazing. The drinks are exactly as ordered. My husband loves their eggplant Parmesan, which they make special for him. Old world Italian food and service.“
“My husband and I have been curious about Virgola Wine Bar since we moved to Patchogue, but never got a chance to stop in as we were unfamiliar with their hours. For my birthday this year, my husband suggested going to check it out (this was the Wednesday before Thanksgiving) and they had a Wednesday special going on which was half off wine bottles. We figured we would grab a charcuterie board and a bottle of wine and just relax. And that's exactly what we did! We tried a couple of samples of wine before landing on the Sangiovese red wine, which was absolutely delicious. We grabbed the bruschetta- Classico ($12) and three of our favorite cheeses (burrata, parmigiano reggiano, and raschera) which were reasonably priced ($8 each), and the portions that were given made that price totally worth it. Everything we ate was tasty and we couldn't even finish the cheeseboard between the two of us which we can normally do so we definitely left full and happy. We did run out of bread at one point but just we asked for more and they brought it right over. The vibe in there is very calm and relaxing. There were several people in there but everyone seemed to be unwinding and hanging out with friends so that was nice. It's dimly lit so it definitely gives those city wine bar vibes. I will definitely be bringing some of my friends to Virgola! Just need to find the right day since they have daily happy hours/promotions.Check it out for sure!“
“Usually come in to grab a slice before class and the food is always great. Yesterday came in to pick up a pie and cheesy garlic bread for my friend in the hospital with cancer. They gave me a discount on the order and it meant alot. Thank you guys. Awesome local business!“
“To start my review, I just wish there were more stars in the food and service category. Trio deserves 10 ⭐'s for both.This restaurant handles two types of food service, restaurant seating and catering for small to large parties. I've now experienced both. My most recent was a repast after a funeral. When everyone is emotional, the last thing the family needs is problems with the food service. Well, in our case, more people showed up than were originally expected. The staff at Trio didn't miss a beat. They set up additional tables in a flash and quickly had the tables set. We had buffet style dining and the selection was outstanding, with something for everyone. From soup to nuts, everything was delicious. They had fish, beef, vegetarian selections and even offered coffee and dessert. (by the way, if I had known how good the desserts would've been, I might have eaten a little less dinner.)The service is impeccable, everything is clean and fresh, the linens and tablecloths were spotless.I'd like to add that Trio is on the grounds of the Holbrook Country Club. You can grab lunch and drinks after you play, just show up and they accommodate parties of all sizes. You won't be disappointed!“
“Have order a few times.Everything has been great each time. Each and every time the pizza crust has been light and fluffy no matter what type of pie we had.Employees are very friendly.This time we had ordered a Chick-fil-A pie, cinnamon bites and zeppolis the other night. One of the best specialty pies we have had and will get this again soon.I would definitely recommend eating here and giving them a try. You will not be disappointed.“
“Nice little pizzeria with good pizza and garlic knots. My favorite slices they have is their Buffalo chicken. Actually spicy, no blue cheese or ranch. Just like it is supposed to be made. I can easily eat a pie of their Buffalo chicken by myself.“
“I catered my daughter shower yesterday, Sal was terrific! The food was even better! It was the best chicken franchise I’ve ever had, so tender you could cut it with a fork. The entire party raved about the food. From the hot food to the sandwiches to the ease of dealing with him. I give it a 10 out of 10! I can’t wait to try the restaurant. He came highly recommended and now I see why.Dietary restrictions: I ordered a few things without dairy, they tasted delicious and we’re very accommodated“
“My daughter and I used to be regulars in this pizzeria. They offer a dish I have found nowhere else I've ever eaten. So I just so happen to look them up on here. All the food is great but the Chicken mona Lisa steals the show. My hours used to be crazy but the family would allow my daughter and I to dine while they were cleaning up and technically closed for the day. My daughter is now 24 and has a son of her own but we still reminisce about the good times in this establishment. The family atmosphere was as 2nd to none. To any of the family or staff that remember us we thank you for all the great food and the hospitality you have provided us a wonderful memory. Next time I'm in LI I'll be sure to stop in.“
“We had our food catered by Giorgio’s this past weekend and it was AMAZING! Steve is very nice and worked well with us adjusting some things on the menu to fit our needs very accommodating! Delivery was on time and he helped us set it all up too. Very genuine guy running a great place 10/10 recommend and we can’t wait to work with him again!“
“Things you absolutely must order at Manninos: Bacon appetizer, penne supreme, and the blueberry turnover cake Overall my party had an excellent evening. Service was attentive, ambiance is upscale yet cozy, and the food was a nice mixture of classic dishes and new things to try. The only thing my party was not crazy about were the steak entrees, they were just fine - nothing to rave about. We're looking forward to trying out new dishes at our next reservation!“
