“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.“

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!“

“Nice Italian restaurant in the heart of downtown Farmingdale. I went on a Friday night with some friends, we had drinks, appetizers, and obviously main courses. Everything was good from the bay clams to the fried calamari and the muscles with a basil cream sauce. For dinner, also Buco, chicken, Parm, Bronzino, and eggplant dish, and a chicken and sausage platter were served. The weight staff was excellent. They were constantly offering us more drinks topping off the glasses of water. Dessert and coffee was later served overall we had a very enjoyable evening. Vespa  in Farmingdale is essentially located near the Nassau County Suffolk County border. It's a great meet up spot for friends who live in Suffolk County and as well friends who live in Nassau. I would definitely recommend Vespa in Farmingdale. I recently read that they opened up a second location. I will definitely be back to this location. Bon appétit. “

“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.“

“Angelo’s Little Italy is the best. I’ve been there for dinner several times and they never disappoint. From the service to the food, everything is great. This past weekend, we had my sister’s bridal shower there. Tina the owner and her staff went above and beyond. We were able to arrive an hour and a half before our party to decorate. They even offered to hang a command hook on the wall so we could hang something. We had a brunch menu and Bellinis, mimosas & bloody Mary’s. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend giving them a try for lunch or dinner or if you are hosting a party. Can’t wait to go back again!“

“Exciting menu, never a disappointment. Their Seafood festival is to die for.“

“Maroni's is as good as you've heard. If you're not from the Northport area, they're worth the trip.
If I had to make a suggestion, make reservations for the complete tasting menu, guaranteed you won't leave unsatisfied!
in an era where service is an afterthought, you'll feel at home, as if family is joining you for an experience as opposed to strangers forced to take care of you.“
