“(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.“
“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!“
“For top-notch pizza and exceptional service, head to Catusco Pizza in Huntington Station. Their pizzas are flavor-packed with a perfect crust and fresh toppings. The menu also features appetizing options, including gluten-free and vegan choices. The friendly owner makes every visit memorable. Catusco Pizza is a must-try spot in Huntington Station. (Try their vodka slice and the penne a la vodka and thank me later)“
“Everything was delicious as usual! Grace was our server, she was excellent, Thai Calamari was amazing as well as the Caesar salad, lamb chops, shrimp and surf and turf dinner. Omg almost forgot the garlic bread. We will definitely be back soon. Traveling from Queens definitely worth the trip!!!“
“Saturday evening dinner without a reservation. Walking in, my eyes immediately gravitated to the pictures of the owners and the many celebrities that have eaten and visited there before. The bar area is very nice and large, with TVs playing sports and news. We were greeted, welcomed and seated immediately. The dining area is very large and decorous. The tables large enough to sit us all. My cousin-in-law and his family frequent the restaurant and he practically knows everyone there, so as we sat, we were introduced to the owners and pretty much about a half dozen waiters and other staff members. All were extremely friendly and welcoming. As expected with all family style restaurants, the tables are very close to one another but positioned in a way that still allowed for ample space for you to move and sit comfortably. When we sat, there were hardly any people there, but within an hour it was full of patrons and large families. It was loud, but manageable. The food was unbelievably delicious. I haven't had true traditional family style Italian food in a long time. From the Fried Calamari and cold antipasto appetizers, to our Veal Parmigiana, Penne allá Vodka with Shrimp and prosciutto entrees. Paired with a Cabernet Sauvignon Palermo Napa, I truly enjoyed my meal. I haven't enjoyed food this good in a long time. My girls shared a huge plate of Chicken fingers and fries, and they loved it. I highly recommend anyone who's in the area to dine here. You won't regret it. Thank you for a great meal and patronage.“
“We hosted our daughter's first birthday here with 40 people on a Sunday afternoon. Working with Ervis and Gabriella was fantastic -- great communication and very flexible. The event turned out better than we could have expected. The food is AMAZING. Everybody is still raving about it and a few of our family members have already been back! Would definitely recommend hosting a small event here!“
“We enjoyed a wonderful dinner last night at Piccolo Mondo. (We hadn’t been there in 10 years!) We were a party of six and everyone was very happy with what they ordered. The jumbo shrimp risotto was out of this world!! Thank you for a lovely evening.“
“Absolutely amazing! I've been wanting to stop by here for some time now and regret not coming in sooner. My husband wanted to try Farm Italy but Joanina had been calling my name for a year now. He reluctantly agreed came in on a busy Saturday night no reservation. Initially told an hour wait but they were able to seat us in this look nook area within minutes and I absolutely loved this little intimate cozy spot. I love margaritas initially I wasn't going to get one and was going to stick to wine but my husband ordered one as I stepped out to get something from the car. This is now one of my fav places for a good marg! I ended up having 4 usually it's 2 max! We started with a app special burrata, artichokes and peppers and yum yum so delicious! We decided to split a pasta and meat yikes incredibly good! I mean just outstanding pork with eggplant, prosciutto and mozz over a Marsala sauce oh my just incredible! Pasta another hit too perfect amount of cream just a touch and those mushrooms yum! We ended up going back a week later and I went with their bolognese another amazing hit! I also had their creamy burrata with prosciutto just so good. My goal is to try everything on their menu! Their pizzas look amazing too so looking forward in trying them.“
“If you want a real dining experience versus just a meal, this is the restaurant for you! Attentive service with a list of specials that are a menu all on its own! The dishes are presented beautifully. Every bite sends your tastbuds into a world of pure delight. We will SO be coming back! Thank you JT, Chef and staff for a most memorable dining experience!“
“Amazing experience on a Saturday night. They put us front and center for the live pianist who was absolutely phenomenal. This is our new favorite spot in CSH without a doubt! The imported burrata was super fresh and tasteful a simple dish down right! The Cacio e Pepe for the main came with delicious Cajun chicken that was blackened perfectly. Can't wait to come back to this little gem in the heart of town.“
“Here to celebrate a birthday. What a hidden gem! The ambiance was beautiful and intimate, the food absolutely delicious and the service was attentive without being intrusive. Everyone was sooo nice. Although we were the last ones to leave on a Thursday evening we were never pressured in any way. Thank you for a lovely evening. We will definitely be back!“
“Have passed this pizzeria many times and never went in cause I just thought the parking was too difficult . Someone told me today that this was their favorite pizza in Plainview ( it at the border of Plainview and Hicksville on Woodbury road and south oyster bay road). I asked why and he said , it's the cheesiest! Anyway, I decided to try it and was very pleased. I had a cauliflower pizza which was excellent and I could present it was healthier. The regular slice was also good and really cheesy as promised. Inside the dining room is nicer than you can tell from the outside. The staff are efficient and accommodating. You can park on the street , but they DO have a parking lot in back, around the corner. Gotta say, although I haven't been here for 28 years, I plan to return.“
“We are regulars of the Anthony’s in Woodbury and can’t say enough about the whole experience. The food is amazing the new additions like the spinach and artichoke dip keep us coming back but what really makes us keep coming back is the hospitality. Phil makes you feel like family from the moment you walk in the door and Sam is the best! We love Anthony’s!“
“Aside from always getting a great dinner there, we just held my daughters bridal shower there. Absolutely perfect. The food was delicious, the service fantastic and every part was on point. From the champagne punch to the cake. Thanks to Chef Paul and the terrific servers and staff.“
“Kayla was our server, and supplied the vibe. She recommended the Speck pizza with hot honey, and that pizza changed my life. So damn good! I’m not kidding when I say that I loved it so much I ordered another one to go, to enjoy later that night. That smoked mozzarella ?. The Gnocchi was awesome and they even offer it in a bread bowl! The Italian sodas are also good, if you love natural ginger flavor, the apple ginger one for sure hits.“
“This is the best pizza in the Seaford Wantagh area, which is saying something. I 've worked through the menu in pizza and pasta items, and it is definitely thin crust NYC rooted, but also is just full of flavor. The round grandma is a gimmick, but is still delicious. The spinach and white pizza is the best I ever had. The baked ziti is cheesed top to bottom, not just one drop of ricotta like most places. Found these guys just this year, and now they're my go to. Thanks for opening nearby, and for the WLIR vibe w the music choices.“
“The staff were great. They are attentive, friendly and beyond accommodating. The interior is so pretty. The food which to me is the most important part was absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to go back and try more dishes. The drinks were also delicious.“
“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 “
“I was at the restaurant with a large party and was so impressed with everything from the food, to the staff, they went above and beyond, we’re so gracious and so polite and just wonderful, I am just so happy with everyone there and I think they all deserve a raise ha ha but seriously what a wonderful wonderful staff and food, everything was wonderful, thank you!“
“This restaurant is my husband and I favorite place on Long Island . We go weekly and it’s always consistent. Everything on the menu and the specials is amazing . My husbands been frequenting this place for over 30 years . The best of the best . The owner Billy is a great friend, a gentleman and always does right ! The staff is a pleasure as well . Best service! Can’t say enough good things . Highly recommend you won’t be disappointed!“
“Great food and incredible service. We were a party of 6 that stopped by for dinner on a Thursday. Food was delicious, great presentation. We were celebrating a birthday and the folks at George White all made it very special. Highly recommend.“
“Love this place. I live right across the street. I'm in love with their grandma's pizza. The food is delicious. Shrimp scampi is my favorite. And their garlic knots are so garlicky. I usually get a dozen and eat them all myself in way under 2 days. It is my go to place for pizza and pasta. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.“
“After seeing this place on Instagram, I decided to give it a try. The atmosphere, service and drinks were great but the food, was a big no which makes me feel I won’t come back here.The steak was over cooked and well done instead of medium, the sauce it came with was bitter. The ravioli was cold like it came out the refrigerator, they remade it and then it was chewy, wasn’t boiled well.“
“Some of the best speciality squares in the area. Their regular pies are great to, a slightly thinner crust than the traditional NY slice. Service counter is always on top of their game cause the place can get packed, so staff is always working hard to get you your order done. Only a handful of high tops inside to eat your slice at but the business is set up perfectly to go in and grab your order on the go, but in the nicer weather they do a great job setting up picnic tables.outside to enjoy great pizza and the warm weather. Very clean as well.“
“We never leave disappointed! We had the mushroom rice balls, tuna tartar, the lamb special and the linguine with crab special. All were FANTASTIC. I even requested to make the linguine a little spicy and the chef delivered. We finished our dinner with the dog cheesecake (also a special) and an espresso martini. Jonathans is a hidden gem with amazing food and service!“
“Taste Haven fills a void in the area for healthy flavorful food. I really enjoy their paninis and smoothies and am excited to try more of the menu. I recommend ordering ahead and picking up because the food is made fresh and takes a bit. They also have online ordering, delivery and meal prep but haven’t tried that yet.“
“I was very skeptical of this place at first, but it was amazing. So the concept is Italian-Mexican food. It works. And it works very well.We ordered 3 tacos as well as the surf and turf quesadilla. I was absolutely blown away by the taste and quality of everything. The quesadilla was one of the best I've had in a long time. The steak was juicy, the shrimp wasn't chewy, and the flavors were amazing. For tacos, we got the ital-Americano, chicken parm, and maialino. Every one was tasty in its own way. The Ital-Americano was super juicy, the chicken parm was just delicious chicken parm in a shell, and the mialino was juicy with just the right amount of spice.I need to remember next time to sign up for the rewards program since I know I'll be back there a lot.Parking: Parking all over.“
“My favorite place for a cocktail. The bartenders are lovely and they always make you feel at home.Love to eat at the bar some nights!Vegetarian options: Gnocchi, artichoke, pasta, eggplant, salad and delicious desserts!Dietary restrictions: Diet friendly. They will find you an option.Parking: Come early and you’ll find parking.Kid-friendliness: Nice family place. They always accommodate.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes! In front and in back.In back is the parking lot too!“
“Ordered one of their Super Bowl packages and was absolutely blown away by not only the amount of food, but the taste. My husband said that the costumer service was amazing while picking up- on one of the most busiest days. I can't say enough great things about this restaurant!“
“We don’t live in the area so we just googled to pick a spot and the reviews I read were spot on. It’s a casual dinning room, we sat at the bar. Food was really really good and we like to think of ourselves as foodies. Butternut Squash Soup was perfection (if I could add anything would just be a dollop of sour cream) Oyster Rockefeller delish, and my husband loves to rate chicken Parma and he loved it!!!! Bartender was really nice also and attentive.“
“Met a friend of mine at this restaurant for dinner. We were both very pleased with our experience. The staff was so friendly and accommodating, and efficient. Great selection on the menu. We both ordered the salmon which was delicious. Absolutely a place that we will frequent again. Overall friendly and comfortable atmosphere.“
“A unique restaurant offering Mexican and Italian cuisine. My partner and I started off with a delicious Greek salad and then both had fajitas. There was an abundance of the chicken and steak in the fajitas. They came out sizzling hot and were seasoned nicely and flavorful. The service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant is not large and has a friendly and family atmosphere. Definitely check it out!!!“
“We are from the port jefferson area, this place is well woth the trip. The word AMAZING is probably the best word to describe. Jose was so welcomeing, atmosphere was warm, no blue, white light bulbs, VERY clean. Everything was delish and plenty of it. Large menue, suggest you look on line before you go. Looking forward to going back.⁰Parking: Valet“
“They took the $10 Espresso Martini off the Happy Hour menu, darn it! Now it is regularly priced at $17. Trento’s version of the Espresso Martini is my favorite one on Long Island!The fried calamari is so lightly breaded that I felt I was eating just the fish. It is the best calamari that I have ever had on Long Island.However, the Fusilli Bolognese tasted meh! Nevertheless, this restaurant deserves five stars for its quality of food and superb service.“
“Great place! Food is amazing! Best gyros ever!! Service is nice, staff is friendly, very clean! Been coming here for years and will continue. Highly recommend.... thanks for making customers feel at home! Especially Edmond.....That's how you know it's family operated ! Your gyro fans Jimmy and Dina, dine in and take out both were great experiencesVegetarian options: They have many rice and veggie platters, pasta, falafals“
“My twin daughters' had their Sweet 16 dinner with 20 friends. The food, the atmosphere, the service, the accomodarions....OUTSTANDING!Vegetarian options: The have plenty of vegetarian options.Kid-friendliness: The staff was so welcoming to 20 teenagers for 3 hours! The owner and staff were so very considerate to them all!“
“First time here. Great atmosphere, the place looks great. The service was on point. We shared the excellent meatballs and lasagna as an appetizer. The only critisizm an its nit picky is the pasta in the lasagna was a bit over cooked. It was still delicious. The pizza who's name I regretfully forget (rectangular crust, fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, basil) was excellent, particularly the crust. We will return!“
“Cheesy goodness. If you're ever craving some delicious pizzas and pastas, definitely stop by. They have such incredible food. We were obsessed with the fried cauliflower and the thin crust pizza. The pasta was amazing as well. Can't wait to try the rest of their menu! Appetizers - Hot 'n Crispy - Garlic Knots - Caesar Salad Entrees - Grandma Ala Vodka - Fiorentina“
“Went for lunch about a month ago. Excellent service, and the answer to my request for something a little off-menu was "absolutely". The Veal Sorrentino was very good but serving could have been larger. The clam appetizer was good, if a little different. The coffee and sorbet were acceptable. Nice ambiance...not my favorite place, but I will return.“
“My favorite pizzeria. The best one I’ve ever had in all of NYC and Long Island in terms of service and quality. And that’s coming from a carbophile that lives in the city and grew up in Long Island, so it’s fair to say this opinion comes from quite a large sample “
“Angela is truly a remarkable individual. I had my graduation celebration there in 2022, and family members have told me nothing but positive things. It had a homey feel to it. It was a lovely place that fit my entire family very well. Even though Angela and I are not related, it feels like a small family reunion almost every time we go. Very welcoming restaurant.“
“We’ve been coming to Franina for years but I never posted anything until now. The food is excellent and the presentation is elegant and creative. Check out the Frutti di Mare. It could have been plated like most other restaurants do which is a pile of seafood on a few large leaves of romaine. But at Franina, it’s a work of art and absolutely delicious.“
“My wife and I held the rehearsal dinner for our son and his soon to be wife on Feb 29. We had 40+ people. The overall experience was great- a 5+ stars. All the guests loved the food and the ambiance of the room. The food was delicious and the portions were so generous that many of the guests needed containers to take home what they had left. The waitstaff were exceptional. They couldn't have been more attentive and nice. Eric and Gianna who we worked with to plan out the dinner made it very easy to get everything set up. Thank you to all for a wonderful experience!!!“
“I always enjoy dining at Piccolo Bussola! My family and I often dine there and it's the first place I go for gift cards! Everyone I know enjoys receiving a gift card for a wonderful meal at Piccolo! The waiters are always kind and very attentive. The food is delicious! I highly recommend this wonderful neighborhood spot.“
“This was my second time back and it hasn't changed. I don't give stars out easily but try to stay close to the Michelin guide. Which means this would be one, and deservedly correct. We had lunch and they just about steer you to the Prix Fix at $ 21.00 for thee courses. This is old times done Italian up scale. We started off ordering the Cabernet on each table, $ 45.00 and very good, they then brought out a basket of bread and complimentary Brochetta. We ordered the Cesar Salad creamy but very tasty, Followed by Veal with Fontina Cheese, and an ensemble of Fresh crispy Vegetables, all delicious. We ordered espresso, with Italian Cheese Cake and they topped that with complimentary fresh fruit and an after dinner cordial. The service was professional, menu recited from memory poured the wine as needed, didn't ask if we are still working on that, but delivered and took away from the right side. None of that taking your salad fork and putting back on the table. I say this because the place is cozy, the Service great and food delicious, while the prices so fair, with the class of not charging for using a credit card. What a find these days. Wish La Villetta was closer to me, but it is worth the drive.“
“Amazing!!!! Ordered several appetizers, one better then the next!!! From the calamari to the artichoke hearts to dinner, fresh tuna yummy. Food wasn’t the only delight… lots of smiles, fantastic service, would recommend highly. I will be back Anthony to see what’s new on the menu. You will be in heaven … Thank You Anthony“
“Amazing staff . I stopped in when my sugar level happened to plummet I'm diabetic. Also I rank in the top 10% globally on google maps for pizza reviewers and I'd like to thank the staff for their hospitality. If you guys remember me. Thank you. The food is amazing . Top notch. Just crispy enough. Doesn't fall apart and slide off. 100% an all time favorite Umberto's all the way“
“Best place to celebrate a birthday, yesterday we.celebrated to my wife with the people’ church and some friends, and it was great experience, the delicious food, the gourmet gastronomy, the service is the best, the kindness people and the excellence of the place was wonderful, highly recommended, it’s the favorite place to have a dinner with my family and friends“
“This was my first time at this pizza shop. I was in the neighborhood and wanted something to eat. I was heading to one pizza shop on the main road & I happened to see this one in the cut. Something told me to go there instead & I'm happy that I did. Very welcoming as I walked in through the door. I would definitely revisit when I'm in the neighborhood again.“
“It's been awhile! Driving nearby and had to stop by! Chopped eggplant pizza. So good! Hands down still the best I've ever had. No eggplant slice comes close this. Highly recommend. Best to have. Order it cold and reheat 400 degrees 7 min bottom rack and 7 min top rack. Chefs kiss. You will thank me if your an eggplant lover.“
