My husband and I went at night for a late dinner and every bite of food was absolutely delicious. We were welcomed by a wonderful staff that put a smile on our face the entire night.

The dishes are fairly priced for what you're getting. We couldn't help but order 2 dishes each and a bottle of wine so $100+ pp but there were no leftovers, it was too good to just put the fork down! Even the cappucinos were made just right! The staff was very kind and knew about the menu, the prep, and suggestions were on point based on what each of us were looking for. It felt like home.

Talk about authentic Italian food. I love that the pasta is made fresh everyday, it's quality you can really taste. All of their specials are so unique, honestly no matter what you order you'll leave very very very happy. The staff is always very friendly and the prices are very affordable. A+++++++

The family went there for mom's birthday. It was a place that she had always wanted to try. We were extremely disappointed. The place was so cold! We had to keep asking them to turn the heat up. And I don't mean chilly; it was downright cold in there. WAY overpriced for the area, and the quality of the food and drinks. When we asked our sever if certain appetizers were large enough to share, based on the prices, we were told they were. Clearly, they were not large enough to share. Three of us ordered linguini with white clam sauce. Tasteless, and 2/3 plates barely had any pasta in them, while one was loaded with pasta. My chicken scaollpine was "okay', but nothing to write home about. In all fairness, mom ordered the pasta with short ribs ragu and she did say it was good. The wine? Here's where I get annoyed. $63.00 for a bottle of wine that costs, at THE most in the store, $25.00. So NOT okay, And we are not cheap people, and clearly understand that you are not going to pay the price you do in the liquor store, but to charge TRIPLE the price? Ridiculous and a tad greedy. I suppose if you want to try an overpriced, fair to mediocre, super expensive wine list place? This would be the place to go! Way too expensive for Riverhead.

This place is the Best Italian in town. The food is prepared by a great Italian chef who knows how to put together a meal. All the ingredients with everything we had was Perfect! It was not my first time here and they deserve the some top recognition for running a fine establishment. The atmosphere is lovely and staff is friendly and on top of service to exactly what you need. Fine establishment! When I say the Best in town nothing compares to it. Look forward to when I'm in town grabbing a bite to eat!

Fantastic and authentic Italian food. The wait staff is so kind and helpful from top to bottom. All the pasta is fresh homemade and so is their delicious bread. Their isn’t anything on menu that hasn’t been great. Since my first visit with my wife we have since gone back twice (for my dad’s birthday and my in laws anniversary). We are all Italian and everyone loved the food! Can’t wait to go back!Kid-friendliness: It’s a really nice restaurant but we took our 2 year old all three times. They couldn’t have been sweeter or kinder to her. They gave her a toy! Came over and said how cute she was and played with her. Just a lovely place, and we are always weary of taking her places bc she’s a big personality. They even took her food matt we bring with us and washed it! We told them that it was not necessary but they insisted!

The food was very mid compared to other Italian restaurants. 20+ dollars for a pie that was completely wrong. The staff was slow and got the orders wrong twice. What’s the point of having a menu if you can’t follow it? The ONLY good part of the food was the bread they served at the beginning and the calamari. We asked for more bread which we were willing to pay for but they just gave us what looked like stale breadsticks. The personal pies are hella expensive for what tasted like processed cheese on a flatbread. This place is just an expensive bougie restaurant with nothing uniquely Italian about it other than the music they play.

Great food. Nice big parking lot that’s hidden in the back. When I came out from having dinner, there were young adults still sitting in their car that we saw on our way in for dinner so it seems like it has its own nightlife the parking lot, lots of activity back there! Amazing homemade pasta

Husband and I went this evening & sat at the bar. I ordered the flounder oreganata & he got the lasagna. When our dinners came out the fish was dried out & extremely salty. My 1st bite was all salt. Even the lasagna was dried out & the sauce very salty. Very disappointing. I had to send my dinner back, my husband should have sent his back as well. Not sure if this was an off night but we will not be back.
