3.5 starsI came with a large group around 8PM and it was pretty busy. They currently have both indoor and outdoor seating. We requested for outdoor seating but the outdoor patio was packed so they seated us inside instead. We were ready to order since it took a while to be seated but they still took a while to get to us. We decided to go for the family size portions and ordered the la parma salad and fried calamari to start. The salad was disappointing. The lettuce didn't seem fresh and I don't think it was big enough to be considered a family size. However, the fried calamari was tasty. It comes with marinara sauce on the side which wasn't watered down and pretty flavorful. The calamari was fried well so it was crispy on the outside with the squid itself being tender. There were also chunks of squid legs (my favorite part). For pastas, we ordered the angel hair pasta in white clam sauce and rigatoni ala vodka. The pasta itself for both weren't overcooked so that was good. However, the angel hair pasta dish didn't have much flavor. It just had a taste of garlic since it was cooked with roasted garlics. There also weren't many clams either. I expected at least clams in the sauce but there were no clams other than the ones in the shells that decorated the plate. The rigatoni ala vodka was also just decent. The flavor profile wasn't strong enough for my liking.For entrees, we ordered the chicken parm, veal, and eggplant parm. The chicken and veal was super tender. It was covered in lots of cheese and sauce as well. The veal had prosciutto which made it a bit too salty for my liking but it also had a mushroom sauce which was tasty. The breading for the chicken, veal, and eggplant was pretty even throughout and maintained a bit of crisp on the chicken and veal. The eggplant parm was one of my favorites. It wasn't too salty and the eggplant was soft and very flavorful with all the sauce on top. With all the cheese on these entrees, it was starting to feel heavy. Overall, just a decent spot for Italian food. Prices are fairly high, and higher for family portions as expected. Don't get the salad. Do get the eggplant parm (and even other meat entrees which were surprisingly tender).

I went for dinner I ate indoors at a window seat overlooking the north bay. We had family style dinner which was enough for 4 people and we were two . The food was delicious I love there drinks.

Waiter Wil was very friendly & professional, good service & very accommodating. Nice sunset view from the tables outside in the back. Parking is free on site. Portions are good size in Family Style. We had Chicken Parm, ravioli, calamari then brownie & ice cream for dessert. I would recommend.

So overpriced for average quality food. :( The server was extremely inattentive and both our drinks and salad tasted like it's been out for a while.

Don’t bother, go to Steve's Piccola Bussola Restaurant in Westbury for great Italian instead.

The best Italian food in Long Island, period. We had a company dinner here and the food was unbelievable. The Shrimp La Parma and Veal Parmigiana will make you wanna slap your grandma. Can't wait to go back. A++++
