Nola opened probably 2 ys ago sushi good and I had the Lobster bake special. Delish Get one of thosed infused drinks . Next time I will try the Italian food.
We just had my daughters baby shower brunch at Nola on (8/3/25) and were very happy with everything! The price was reasonable. The food was amazing and the staff was very attentive. It was a private party on a Sunday at noon. I highly recommend it

Food was nothing to write home about. Nice ambiance. Restaurant was very noisy. A little on the pricey side for mediocre food.
I had my daughter's bridal shower there. Everyrhing was perfect. The food tasted amazing, and was plentiful. The service was excellent. The room is beautiful and private. I would recommend and would definitely book another event.

Excellent menu selection. Service was also excellent. Quality and quantity of food excellent and delicious
Food and service was fantastic. The cocktails was also very good. The prices were a little high. The special grilled appetizer was expensive ($50) and additional small scoop of gelato was $6 for example. This was the only reason I didn't give them a 5.
The food was totally delish. The staff was upbeat, fun and attentive. The setting was lovely outdoors with a gentle breeze and charming night lights. In all, the night at Nola was perfect!

We had a 5:30 reservation and arrived promptly. We were brought to a table but then were awkwardly told to go back to the hostess stand bc they needed to rearrange the seating. No big deal. When we were seated our waiter was courteous and took our drink order right away. We ordered an appetizer and told him we were ready to put in our dinner order too, to which he replied “that’s helpful”. Our arrabbiata calamari appetizer was delicious . However after that we waited over 45 min for our meals. 3 of 4 meals were brought out. The 4th took another 6 min after the waiter semi apologized and said it would be out in “30 seconds” (why not just wait in the kitchen for 30 seconds?”)
While my 3 companions said their food was ok, I was absolutely disappointed with my order. I wanted something light so I ordered the Prosciutto Flatbread appetizer for my meal. I thought it would be like every other flatbread I’ve ordered -thin with some cheese arugula and a protein.
However it was a messy pile of too much Arugula, ricotta & prosciutto and you couldn’t even see the flatbread. Our waiter finally came after everyone in my party had finished and asked how the food was. (I had barely touched my plate which didn’t sound any alarms for him) When I told him mine was inedible and I wasn’t happy he said he would talk to his manager. Well he didn’t. When we asked him again he replied “my manager is outside if you want to wait I’ll try to get him”. After being there so long we just paid and got out of there. It wasn’t worth being offered a dessert or even being comped for the meal.
Slow service, subpar food (my husband’s cavatelli with sausage and broccoli rabe was extremely watery) extremely loud dining room - we will NOT be going back.
Almost forgot - when the waiter was clearing the drink glasses he dropped a wine glass from his tray which landed on my husband between his back and the back of the chair. No broken glass, very little wine spilled on him and it was truly an accident - but just shows the level of service needs to improve.

It was the third time we ate at Nola and each time it has gotten progressively worse. The third time started off well but went down hill quickly. After our appetizers it took 50 minutes to get our entrees! 3 of the 4 came out together and the fourth one took an extra 6 minutes with no input from our waiter! The service was very poor to say the least! One of the entrees ( the flat bread salad)was horrible and the veal entree was over cooked and chewy! Very poor service and less than mediocre food! Three strikes your out Nola, what a shame!

Quite honestly one of the worst experiences I ever had…the food was underwhelming the atmosphere wasn’t terrible but the noise was a little too much and on top of the that everything was over priced for no reason the plating was mediocre and the seasoning of the food left a lot to be desired. Simply put, I personally wouldn’t recommend coming here if you want good Italian food & overall authenticity. Lots of works to do. I say that respectfully….

We have eaten here before when it was Puglia. We enjoyed it then although it remains very noisy. Every review mentions how great the service is. We experienced quite the opposite. Our server , who never mentioned his name , was pleasant and respectful but horrible. Details to follow. We ordered our drinks,, my old fashioned was ok. My partners Pinot Grigio smelled and tasted like Sauvignon Blanc not what she ordered. We asked for another glass. Appy's came the baked clams were great , the spicy tuna roll was okay. We had just finished the appys the plates were picked up and the main course immediately placed down. We were shocked at the pacing. My partner thoroughly enjoyed her branzino but my halibut was slightly overcooked. During this time our server NEVER came over to ask how the food was or to get another glass of wine. After we finished I had to flag him down and ask for the check. That was our whole experience. There are many nice restaurants on Long Island. This one is now off our list. Perhaps an off night but not acceptable for our dollars. Your mileage may vary but we won't be back.
The food was delicious and the service was excellent. My only objection is the noise level inside. I am definitely going back to Nola but I will try the outside seating. The food and service make this restaurant worthwhile
