I dine hear very often and never fail to have a wonderful experience. The excellent food, the warm greeting from the staff, the ambience of the surroundings make for an always pleasurable evening out. We are treated like "members of the family" whenever we show up. Dimeo's is close to home which contributes to the intimacy we feel whenever we show up. We always get the feeling that the owner, the staff, and the servers are genuinely happy to see us around!.

We were rushed in and out so it wasn't as relaxing as we would have liked. Food delicious.

DeMeo's is a cut above the typical neighborhood Long Island Italian restaurant. It has a broad menu of the traditional Italian dishes but always has several specials that go outside the bounds of pure Italian. Listen carefully to the night's choices. Bread and focaccia are brought quickly and the olive oil on the table is not peppery but relatively mild. A few olives and pieces of cheese are also complimentary. I often have fried zucchini at other Italian restaurants (or even Bryant and Cooper) but not here; way too thin to even identify as zucchini. Main courses are large and I always seem to have a second dinner of leftovers. Servers are very careful with packing to avoid leaks (something not all restaurants care about. I haven't been here on a weekend or holiday but I can imagine if full the tables are a bit too close. Getting to lavatories requires a steep climb to second floor and steps are narrow. WATCH IT. For mer, not a go to for special occasions but good food and plenty of options on a weekday night.

Wonderful restaurant, first rate service, excellent red sauce Italian. Personal attention from chef owner. Friendly waitstaff etc make it a pleasure to visit DiMeo's.

Had dinner on a quiet Wednesday evening. Food and drink delicious as always. Bread is out of this world! Service fabulous... as always.

Very disappointed. This WAS a very good restaurant a few years ago. Every entree was terrible as were the appetizers.

Very good food. Serice is strange— a different waiter comes over to help you for different things and it gets confusing and not what a diner wants or expects. If you ask for something and prefer some things , and tell one waiter the other waiter pretends to have no idea what you're talking about. also brough out all the food at the same time. Felt rushed to turn over the table. Are we dining or just eating ?!?!?!? All in all : Good food Bad service and Rushed

Sauce had Absolutely No Taste! Ravioli were the same. Extremely Disappointing.... We went because reviews said best sauce; I think we misread the listing. They Obviously meant, " Worst Sauce" !

We had a great evening with friends. Our reservations were honored, the service was attentive and friendly. The food was excellent. We shared several appetizers - all good and nice sized portions. For entrees : several had the halibut special - yum; one had a very generous chicken cacciatore, one had veal ). We have been there numerous times and will most definitely return again.
Everybody enjoyed their meals, and the service was excellent.

Exceptional meal. We eat out all the time and by far our favorite Italian in Roslyn/Manhasset. Service was great too! The menu is so unique. I recommend the tuna appetizer or warm kale salad. Dinner-we love the fish specials and bolognese. We will be back on Saturday to celebrate a Birthday-can't wait!

Good food, poor indoor seating areas - uncomfortable- very crowded / tables too close together- one bathroom upstairs a hike. Service was too quick , felt we were rushed because of people waiting for tables

We always have an excellent dinner here. They have a very creative menu and great specials all the time. Service is amazing. Drinks are very good and an excellent wine list to boot The food is absolutely fabulous and the portions are very large

The tables were so close, it felt like eating in a closet. I hate restaurants where you feel like you are sitting on top of strangers. The flavor of their sauce was very good but the rest of the food was just ok. My dinner was way too spicy and our waiter never bothered to come over to check on us after the food was served. The service was too slow and not personal at all. Glad when we left.
