“An excellent family lunch. The food was, as usual, delicious and fresh. The server was friendly and efficient. It was quiet, a real treat for this restaurant that gets noisy at dinner time. Not one complaint about the delicious appetizers and main courses..our off season choice for great Italian food. Summer parking next to impossible!“

Great portions and even a decent amount of healthy options. Thank you to the staff for making my night even more special!“

“Words really cannot express what a perfect setting La Parma III Italian Restaurant was for our family.
I was trying to plan a luncheon to take place after a funeral remotely from San Diego, CA, and had nothing to go on other than a recommendation from the funeral home
I called and spoke to Guido on a Friday and the lunch was being planned for the upcoming Tuesday 8-27th a few days later.
Being in the catering business myself and immediately hearing "no problem" we can do it all, was simply music to my ears. Guido said he would not be in on that Sunday when I wanted to come check it out in person but gladly provided me with the Managers name that would be available that day to meet. When I arrived at the restaurant, I met Richie, and he could not have been more helpful in confirming everything that I had expected to happen.
Not only did they have us set up in a beautiful room with everything ready to go but both Guido and Richie were there during the lunch and worked the entire event in coordination with their amazing team. From the initial contact over the phone, all the way to the completion of the lunch we could not be happier with how professional and accommodating the people at La Parma III were, especially considering we had just lost our loved one. We would call them again for this or any other meal we needed to be catered. In summary, the food and service were five stars, A+, or whatever is the best grade possible!“

“Delicious food and excellent service. My husband and I had a lovely dinner and we didn’t feel rushed. We will definitely return.“

“Very cozy restaurant. My first time here and I highly recommend. Service was great and food was extremely tasteful“

“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. “

“Great food. People are really nice as well.“

“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.“

“Atlantic Pizzeria on Atlantic Ave in Freeport NY- It was my first time visiting this restaurant today and though I don’t normally write reviews, I felt compelled to state what a wonderful establishment! My daughter, who is very shy, spilled a drink in there and the workers replaced it immediately at no charge and cleaned it up right away! 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!“

“Family place...always good...and very reasonable...like eating at momma's....Really a well kept secret by those who think food is more important than a perfectly lit room...must try....you will make friends there.“

“Great food we like the food was good . Very nice .“

“Had dinner there tonight with my grandson. We had the eggplant rollatini and it was delicious. They give u so much food. Next time we’re going to share. I highly recommend Martinos. Great service. The waitress Vita is an absolute doll. Funny as all hell. Give it a try. I’m sure u won’t b disappointed. 👍❤️🍷“

“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.“

“Excellent Italian in a very competitive restaurant scence in Rockville Center. Been there for decades and it is a local gem. The food is awesome but I do not like that they do not give pasta with an entree but rather give mashed potatoes. Pasta can be ordered ala carte. A little silly if you ask me but those are the rules. They close promply at 9pm and last order taken is at 830pm so be aware of that. Excellent wine list. Amarone choices are great.“

“Meta always goes above and beyond for a fabulous dining experience. This past Sunday, I called to see if it was possible to bring in an Elvis impersonator for my Dad who is in remission from cancer. Not only was Roberto and his staff receptive to the idea, the whole restaurant was singing along with Elvis and all of us. This night was truly magical and I cannot thank Roberto and his staff enough for making my Dad’s dining experience so memorable. The food was amazing, the drinks were flowing and the dessert was delicious. If you haven’t tried Meta, I highly recommend this fine restaurant for a wonderful night 🎉“

“Awesome food great friendly service one of our all time favorites“

“Il Bacetto is an Italian Gem in Seaford NY. We had our Mom’s 90th Birthday celebration and everything was outstanding. Angela & Rocco are the owners and they go above & beyond to make sure everything is perfect! The food is delicious! Please try there famous sangria you will love it! Angela makes a napoleon cake that is out of this world! Presentation and Service is excellent! Go for lunch. Go for dinner. Plan a small gathering— it will be your favorite place!“

“One of the best Italian restaurants in Lynbrook or anywhere else. They use the freshest and highest quality ingredients and prepare the food exquisitely. I ordered takeout tonight for six people in my extended family and served it family style, and everyone was raving about the food. We ordered Scallops Oreganato, Shrimp Stuffed with Crabmeat, Chicken Francese, Zuppe di Clams White Sauces and a few appetizers and it was all superbly prepared. Several of us were from other towns and repeatedly asked me how to find this place so they could visit in the near future.“

“Amazing food and Italian experience! The family atmosphere, menu specials presentation, and food make for an unbelievable experience. You are a part of their family for an evening, and boy are you lucky!“

“This is a really delicious Italian restaurant on the South Shore of Long Island just north of Long Beach. Open for lunch everyday with regular specials.

You should consider if have a large party and/or have young children. They are very accommodating.

Food was fresh and delicious.

Service was excellent. All staff were very attentive.

Clean restaurant, clean bathroom that has paper towels to dry your hands.

Parking can be tough in the evening and summertime.“

“I just had my daughter’s baptism at Fabio’s. From the food to the service everything was amazing! My guests were raving about the food. We did family style and it was more than enough food. We even had leftovers to take home! Fabio went above and beyond helping us set up the decorations the night before my party. We never felt rushed (we were there til 1am). He wants his guests to have a great experience and we did! Thanks to Fabio, Rose, Marty and the entire staff for a great party!“

“I had my daughters bridal shower with 80 guests on Saturday night in the private room. Sal & Michael were amazing to work with. They were very attentive and everything went so smooth. I cant say enough about them. I am still getting calls from my guests commenting on how amazing the food and drinks were and some even noticed how Sal was making sure everyone was content. I had a few guestswho were gluten free and they were accommodated. The room itself was perfect along with having the two restrooms in the room. At the end of the night the food was packaged up to bring home. I personally can say everything about this night was absolutely perfect..not one complaint. Keep up the good work Sal & Michael. You guys are absolutely amazing and thank you for making it great for my daughter.“

“the whole package wonderful place“

“My husband and I had Chicken franchese, Gnocchi sorrentino, Sides of caesar salad and penne ala vodka. Everything was delicious. Even the oil to dip the bread in was amazing. I loved everything! We can’t wait to go back and try the family style dinner.“

“First time here and we love it. Food was great service was awesome especially ALEXA she was great. they have live music playing.
We were sitting outside I felt like I was on vacation we definitely coming here again. I recommend to anyone who visits long beach.“

“My wife and I recently hosted a baby shower for our daughter. To say the party was excellent wouldn’t be accurate. It was more than excellent. The food, the service, the staff could not have been better. All of the 55 guests raved about every aspect of the gathering. Many of these guests had never been to Bacaro before but now said they would definitely be coming back. If I had to come up with one negative… I couldn’t. Thanks for making a special day everything we could have hoped for.“
