Ristegio's Restaurant & Lounge

Been here a few times. Never been disappointed. Service great as it has always been. Portion size and food quality very good. Will definitely be back.

Dined outside on the patio because I wanted to see the scheduled band. When it got dark, couldn't really see the food the way I'm used to seeing it. Ordered the swordfish with roasted potatoes and leaf spinach. Swordfish was kind of tough, spinach was practically all storks instead of leafs, potatoes weren't cooked quite enough. All in all, a disappointing dinner. Flatbread as an appetizer was very good by the way. Server was pleasant and attentive, She was very nice.

Truly looking forward to this place and ended up being very disappointed w the meal. The service and staff were very nice and attentive. However the food was not what you expect especially for those prices. The alcohol was the best past of the meal. It made the experience worth it. The oysters were not fresh, only had the courage to eat 3 out of 6. The fish was dry and over cooked. And the crab stuffing, was burned and, What crab ? The braised short ribs, to our surprised, they were dried. Both mashed potatoes were drowned in butter. Unfortunately we can't see ourselves ever going back.

Food options were good but service wasn't great at all. We had multiple delays and incorrect drink orders brought to the table. We also weren't aware of the coffee and juice being extra expenses from the per person fee for the brunch sitting. Unfortunately this was our worst experience at Ristegios.

Food took a while to come out. Scallops were over cooked. Husband's dish wasn't correct. Band was phenomenal. Restaurant is clean and nicely maintained. I feel the quality of food has gone downhill a bit since its first opening. We will be back, just might go for drinks and entertainment and eat before hand.

Victoria, our server was amazing attentive and was very caring. She made sure our experience was enjoyable. The octopus appetizer never dissppoints.

We were seated immediately upon arrival waiters were very polite and friendly. Food was very good and so was the desserts. The music was a little loud but overall experience was excellent.

Very nice place but think it's overpriced like most LI restaurants. There must have been a new bartender that certainly needed some training on how to make expresso martinis, dirty martinis and their coffee specialty drinks. All were completely wrong. Hopefully she will learn quick to avoid having drinks sent back. The girl who brought our food out didn't care much of who ordered what, and just placed our dinners wherever. New waiter and he was great! Having worked in a restaurant for years, think it's so important for employees to be able to try all that is being offered so they can sell and speak professionally about.

Absolutely wonderful! Starting from the Chefs welcoming homemade flat bread to the Margherita Pizza ( ask for the spiced honey for the pizza ) which was cooked perfectly giving the crust the old school crunch just like the city scrumptious appetizers the tuna tataki was delicious the best I've eaten yet as well as their specialty sushi rolls . Superb!! Dinner was a hard choice to pick however , I've tried a few dishes here the Salmon has a mild chili flavor making the dish that more exciting along with the flavor filled sides . My husband had the chicken Milanese which I cant begin to tell you the breaded cutlet covered the entire (not to thick not to thin ) dish with a refreshing arugula topping adjoining it with a delightful balsamic vinegar dressing . The linguine and clam sauce also made it to the table having a unique flavor of the chefs . Absolutely satisfying. Next time I may even ask if they can add toasted bread crumbs on top. Dessert OMG so they have a crumb apple tart / cake served with a side of ice cream and drizzled with Carmel - OK so here's when I wish I started dinner with this . Outstanding! Ending the evening with a double expresso and a perfect rind of lemon a companied by a nice glass of Sambuca (I was impressed when I asked for coffee beans and they had them ) I knew right there I'd be back sooner than later . You need to try that desert we wanted seconds but couldn't do it after all the food we had as the portions are big. The menu offers a nice selection of food. We enjoy the weekdays here for downtime the ambiance is relaxing . To where on the weekends we enjoy dinner and music here . So much fun ! Good people ! Great Chef! Enjoy!! Bon Appetite!!!

I had my daughters wedding shower at Ristegio's a few weeks ago and it couldn't have been better. The hostess Victoria was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond from the point of booking. She was in constant communication with me for the few months leading up to the big day!! George was great to work with and flexible to our wants/needs. The food was delicious and everyone is still talking about it. The room was perfect, the display of the food was perfect, the desert was perfect! I wish i knew about this place earlier for all of my other catered parties! We will sure to come back for our next event. This was truly my best experience hosting a party at a restaurant.

Disappointing. Beautiful restaurant and we had the sweetest server who was very attentive but the food was “alright” glazed carrots were undercooked and not hot. Short ribs were also not very hot. My sushi roll was cold which was odd. The waitress was lovely and restaurant was pretty, but it was disappointing. It was odd that they were empty on Friday night with a band.

Just eat with family . Great food , great service. Should have a bit more lights at entrance but we got in .

Last night, I had dinner at Ristegio's. At the outside bar, I noticed tension between two men who seemed to be managers. As I was leaving, the argument escalated into a heated exchange in the parking lot. A young woman was caught in the middle, trying to de-escalate the situation.

The owner should be ashamed of how his staff is treated. Such behavior is unacceptable and reflects poorly on the restaurant. As a result, I will not be returning to Ristegio's.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had, from start to finish, and I eat out all the time! Our waiter Mike was absolutely fantastic and extremely attentive to our every need. Without a doubt, I will definitely be going back!
