“Rocco’s is our go to for pizza or Italian food. Tonight I ordered on the slice app and chose the wrong pie not realizing until it was delivered. I called and they explained the online menu to me, even though it was my error they then delivered the pie I intended to order. Great food, great customer service, delivery always come on time or usually before expected. I cannot say enough good things about Rocco’s our absolute fav! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“loved the White Clam sauce“

“I’ve been going here for over 20 years and it’s constantly a reliable spot. The personal pie is a reasonable price and plenty large to fill up on. I also recommend the penne vodka and garlic knots any day of the week. Definitely do take out rather than dine in because there’s limited seating and the service isnt fantastic.“

“My husband and I love La Volpe! For a casual dinner in the pizzeria, a quick bite at the bar, or a romantic dinner in the dining room- we always have a delicious meal and wonderful service. We highly recommend this place for authentic Italian cuisine! It’s one of our favorite restaurants. 😊🤍“

“It is a pizza store that looks like most others but the pizza is exceptional! I had a slice of Margherita and then ordered 2 more for home! Their menu is very extensive with Italian dishes. It is a big space for roomy dining.
The woman behind the counter was so friendly and welcoming,as well!“

“Been a regular of the pizzeria for about a decade. So very excited that they opened a trattoria next door. Food is exactly the same as the pizza side bc they share the kitchen and most of the menu but with a classy atmosphere and table service. This is my third dinner here and I will be making it a regular place to eat.“

“I got to say this place is amazing. The buffalo chicken pizza was really good and the philly steak was awesome. This is my new pizza place“

“Fantastic food - Uncle Joe is a local legend. I've been eating his food since the 80s. Uncle Joe's Veal and Stuffed Artichokes are the Best! Mushroom & Garlic Calzone with or without Ham..Garbage Pie Pizza... getting hungry! Try the Prixe Fixe in the dinning room, full bar, great food and plenty of it, great prices. Awesome Desserts..“

“The Patio has been consistently the best place for good food on LI. Attentive and kind staff and incredible pasta & cheesecake. Best place for a date night!“

“Great food, generous portions. Very friendly staff. You will not be disappointed.“

“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.“

“Mr C is the best! Best breakfast around. Support your local businesses.“

“Have been to this restaurant many times. Food has always been excellent. We went last night and the food again was excellent. The problem is it is a small venue and it was extremely tight last night almost to the point where you felt you were sitting with everyone else. To squeeze that many people into the space was uncomfortable. We actually had a bit of a tiff with another table who were literally sitting on top of us forcing one of my guest to say “ Your pushing my breasts into my table!” She actually used a different word to describe breasts. It was not an enjoyable meal despite the food being great.“

“The best in Hampton Bays. They have a sandwich there that I call “el abogado” chicken franchese on garlic bread with cold fresh mozzarella“

“The food was excellent! Was great a place like this so close by. Many options, and the manager even came out to greet us and let us know how the food was. Plenty of seating inside and out. In a good area. And amazing for the price (I had a deal). Will come again.“

“Lovely dinner with my family last night. Waitstaff could have came around to keep drinks full and make sure our needs were met. Food was delicious but someone needs to please clean that pizza oven. Burn bottom and crust was a bummer as everything else was very nice. Photo is my take home slices. All three pies were this way. Such a shame. My family came from MA.“
