“Just visited Osteria Umbra yesterday evening for the 2nd time. This place has quickly become my favorite Italian restaurant on Long Island. The quality of the food is extraordinary, and the service/wait staff is second-to-none. Both times I visited, everyone in my group had a truly exceptional evening. From the moment you walk in the front door through the completion of dessert, this place provides first class service. The Black Truffle Taglierini in the Parmesan cheese wheel is a must try and delightful experience. The Australian Wagyu Tomahawk was absolutely delicious and well worth the order. The Italian Cheesecake is homemade, and is the best I have ever had. If you have the opportunity, make a visit and give this place a try. You won't regret it!“

“These guys are the best! They make you feel like a king when you walk in and treat you like family! God bless 🇺🇸“

“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.“

“Amazing food Nicest people Very clean Obsessed with their rigatoni rustica Grilled chicken panini Grilled chicken salad French fries and bbq sauce 😋 Yummmmmmm“

“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!“

“Whether you want to order a pizza to take home , or eat in the dining room. Vinnie’s Mulberry is the spot.

Any meal I had there was excellent. The service is impeccable. The atmosphere is family oriented. So it is like having a hug with dinner. I like that appetizers, soup, salad, main meal are brought out in steps. That way you can enjoy the courses. This has been my favorite spot to eat since last summer. Had taken my family members there. Me and one of my good friends go there all the time. My first time there, they made me mocktails that I requested. They were great.

Go there with your family. There is something for everyone. You will have a nice time.“

I recently had the pleasure of dining at La Famiglia, and the entire experience exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the level of hospitality and professionalism from the entire staff was outstanding. The servers, managers, bus staff, and every team member we encountered were exceptionally attentive, courteous, friendly, and genuinely welcoming.
Their dedication to customer service created a warm and comfortable atmosphere throughout the evening.

One of the first things that stood out was how immaculate the restaurant was. Every area was spotless, beautifully organized, and maintained with remarkable attention to detail. The ambiance is modern, elegant, and inviting, making it the perfect place for both family gatherings and special occasions.

The black-and-white photographs displayed throughout the restaurant added a truly special touch. They beautifully capture traditional Italian culture and family heritage, creating a nostalgic and heartfelt atmosphere that makes the dining experience even more meaningful and memorable.

The food, served family-style, was absolutely exceptional. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh, flavorful, and carefully prepared. The presentation was elegant and thoughtfully done, showcasing both authenticity and creativity. You can immediately tell that quality ingredients and passion go into every plate served.

La Famiglia delivers far more than just an excellent meal — it offers a complete dining experience centered around hospitality, cleanliness, tradition, and outstanding Italian cuisine. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Italian food, exceptional service, and an unforgettable atmosphere on Long Island.“

“Arrived approximately 8:00 for a late dinner. Not too many tables left Dinners: lasagna and Manicotti were delicious. Nice surprise to get a complimentary glass of wine. Took a bit longer than we expected to get our meals and our server seemed a bit confused.. but all and all a good experience. We will be back.“

“This is my fiancé and mine official favorite restaurant of st.James and surrounding areas! Always great food and staff, we have even used their catering and the owner Sal always comes over and says hi! Keep it small and make sure you come to this amazing small business. Skip the sushi and big chain restaurants 😂“

“Service and staff are excellent. The dinners we had tonight were outstanding! Definitely will be returning for another great night out❤️“

“Absolutely excellent, pleasantly surprised“

“We have eaten here for many years and I have also had many business meetings there. I recently called to make reservations for mother’s day as we do every year and was told we could not get a reservation because we had 11 people and it could only be 8. What should I do leave the other 3 people home. I think that is so absurd that I will never eat there again! So people if you want a fine Italian restaurant that doesn’t care how many in your party go to Oster Umbra in Smithtown.“

“A few months ago my daughter passed away. I had family coming in from 4 different states. We needed a place we could all meet and have dinner. We called Nesconset Pizza&Pasta to see if we could use their back room. They said yes and set up the room for us on short notice. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. All my relatives from out of town were very pleased. The staff was kind and compassionate and did not rush us. I have had dinner many times before and after that night and they are always attentive and accommodating. This is a really great place to dine out!“

“Classical Italian Dining, Best Chicken Parm on the Island!“

“Very good New York style thin crust pizza with generous toppings. They accept all major credit cards so it is very convenient. Air conditioned with indoor seating available for about 30 people.

Kid-friendliness: Great for kids“

“This is easily our favorite local spot. While you can’t go wrong with the pizza... which is excellent, the real reason to come here is for the pasta and the daily specials.

​Everything is always incredibly fresh and consistently exceeds expectations. You can tell they put a lot of care into the food. On top of that, the staff is always welcoming and genuinely friendly, which makes the whole experience even better.

​If you haven’t been here yet, you are missing out.“

“Always awesome and delicious!!!“

“there customer service is a trip ! been waiting over an hour for a slice when they told me 30 mins. unbelievable this is the last time I will order from here.“

“Mother's Day was such a great day, at ITA. The Hostesses, Waiter and Bar Tender were all so wonderful. Atmosphere was quiet, we actually heard our conversations at our table. Wonderful place to go eat, food was excellent.“

“They have been working with so many families in need. They are helping feed Long Island families while the SNAP program is still not being funded. In addition to a friendly eatery that truly cares about people their food is amazing. So many options to choose from! Stop by and say hello, grab some delicious food and help spread the love. Donate today or share their mission to feed Long Island families in need during this difficult time. No child should ever be hungry.“

“They catered our party and the food was fabulous. Their meatballs are soft and the best we’ve tasted. The trays were filled to the top. The chicken parm, chicken francaise, and pasta dishes were great. Hero was great too. I was a little hesitant hiring them only because I had never used them before. I decided to use them because we had gone there for dinner a few times and loved the meatballs and other dishes (chicken bruschetta for one) and their homemade dipping sauce for their bread. I could be happy with the dipping sauce and bread alone, delicious! We will definitely use them again to cater. They delivered and were right on time.“

“This was an online delivery. Great job by everyone. Full portions of entre, soup and salad. A lot of to go orders from other places cheap out on portions but this was possibly more than would get in restaurant. They even gave utensils, packets of croutons, grated cheese, salad dressing and even the andes candies treats. I highly endorse 😃😃“

“We had a delicious meal with the family.“

“My three friends and I had dinner at Mama Lombardi’s yesterday -Saturday 6/13/6(. Our meals were delicious. We all loved what we ordered. Our waiter William who is ElSalvadorian and Italian was excellent. He speaks Spanish Italian and English and it was a pleasure to speak with him. We would recommend this restaurant. It has delicious food large portions and excellent service.“

“Amazing pizza and chicken best in town! It tasted all homemade!“

“THE BEAT SALAD (added shrimp & avocado) ! Holy HEAVENS! OH MY DAYS! I had to sit in the parking lot to chow down. Absolutely worth the wait. Super delicious. Honestly I forgot to use the salad dressing. That’s how yummy this is. Will be back! Thank you all!! #DELISH“

“Best Trio pizza around! Grandma pie with pizza sauce, vodka sauce and pesto 🤤 So delicious! It was my anniversary and I asked for a heart shaped trio pizza and although it’s not something they typically make when I got there to pick up my pie they surprised me bt personally creating a heart shaped pie for my special request. Safe to say we devoured the whole thing. Even went back two days later for another pie, that’s how good it is!“
