“Visited this restaurant after show at Bellport Playhouse. Very nice inside and the service was amazing. My husband enjoyed his Filet Mignon, he loved it! My meal on the other hand, chicken della casa was not good at all. The chicken was so bland I couldn't eat it. I should have sent back but didn't by that point I lost my appetite. I did order the dessert tiramisu which was really good. I would go back but next time I would try another dish.“

“The best Italian around from the best family in the business! It was so nice to dine here again after quite some time and it was even better than I remembered!“

“Delicious food from start to finish. Wonderful service (we had Gina but all others were great as well) and Friday night they had a singer and had the whole restaurant singing together. Comfy intimate spot that I will definitely return to.“

“I have loved everything I have eaten here. The only thing I am not a fan of is the pizza. Staff makes you feel like family. The dinning room is small yet spacious. Every time we eat there we end up talking to other tables. I drive quite a distance to eat here. If you go you have to try the baked clams. They only serve cherry stone clams. So so good.

Parking: Medium sized lot“

“Happened upon this restaurant while visiting Port Jefferson. And glad we did. Got here early enough that we could get a table right away. Steve took great care of us without being overbearing. We started off with the stuffed mushrooms, which were so freaking good. For main course my husband got the Chicken & Sausage Scarpiello, and I had the Veal Scallopini - both were delicious. We finished off sharing the Rainbow Cookie Cheesecake. This exceeded my expectations. Everything was so good that my husband wants to go back tomorrow!“

“Meatballs-tasted almost identical to when my Italian, childhood best friend’s grandma would slow simmer them ALL day long every Sunday!! The grilled chicken in the Greek salad was very moist and soft. Loved their 6 slice pizza too-great cheese and perfect amount of sauce that’s way less acidic than other local pizza, maybe partially because they use less sauce. Staff were very kind too. Highly recommend.“

“Pennachio’s in Manorville is the best. Best food, best service, best background ambiance. I’ve been there several times, over the last few years, and am delighted inspired and amazed every time. World class Eggplant Parmesan. Ridiculous Veal Franchese, Insane cannoli. If you are on your way to or from the Hamptons, it’s totally worth the detour on Route 111.“

“Enjoyed a wonderful Italian dinner, and I have to say it exceeded my expectations from start to finish! #1 Sunday sauce! \n\nI ordered the Eggplant Parmesan, and it was absolutely outstanding — perfectly breaded, layered with just the right amount of sauce and cheese, and baked to perfection. Every bite was full of flavor and felt homemade, just like authentic Italian comfort food should.\n\nThe service was equally impressive. Our server, Mikayla, was attentive, friendly, and incredibly efficient! She had many tables and everyone left with smiles on their faces. She checked on us at the perfect times, and made the entire dining experience feel warm and welcoming.“

“Our family has been delightfully getting fed for many years here. Our experience has always been professional, courteous and delicious.“

“Great Scilian pizza and a chicken roll for lunch today. 7.26.23 Garlic shakers were all crusted up from humidity, that's normal, but what not normal was a request for fresh shaker and was brought pepper instead. Two recommendations first add rice this time of year to help with that clumping. Second show your counter person the difference between pepper and garlic.“
