“We visited on Saturday evening during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. From the moment we entered through the front door, we were welcomed by big smiles, big smells of delicious food, and what felt like a warm hug from a good friend. Classic and palette awakening cocktails. Try the brandade fritters and the best Caesar salad I have ever enjoyed. Sea bass was fresh out of the waters that surround the east end. The burger and the roasted chicken. For sides we ordered the onion gratin, romanesco and French fries. Surprise banana split for dessert. Delicious! See you again soon. Happy Holidays!“

“If you’re in Mattituck, NY, and craving an authentic Italian dining experience, A Mano Italian Restaurant should be at the top of your list. From the moment you step in, the warm, welcoming atmosphere makes you feel right at home.

Start your meal with their mussels appetizer, which is absolutely delicious—each mussel is perfectly cooked and served in a rich, flavorful sauce that sets the tone for the rest of your meal. The Sunday Special is always a treat, showcasing the chef’s creativity and dedication to fresh, seasonal ingredients. I highly recommend the pan-seared cod, which was a standout dish with its perfectly crisp exterior and tender, flaky interior, complemented by a beautifully balanced sauce.

No meal is complete without dessert, and A Mano’s cannolis are not to be missed. They are filled with a creamy, sweet ricotta filling that is both indulgent and satisfying.

Overall, A Mano offers an exceptional dining experience with its authentic flavors and inviting ambiance. It’s a place where every detail, from the food to the atmosphere, reflects a true appreciation for Italian cuisine. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, A Mano is a gem that promises to delight.“

“The food is amazing and the staff is incredible. We had a blast there last evening. Can’t wait to go back!“

“We made a reservation at this place thinking we wanted to try the pasta based on a past review. Turns out, they didn’t have that pasta and we decided to try Wiener schnitzel for the first time. What a treat! It was so delicious and enough for two. We also enjoyed the bread basket with coriander-sunflower butter and olive oil/balsamic vinegar. Yummy! We also had a side of pancetta savory spätzli - which pairs really well with our entree. The restaurant is cozy with Swiss flair. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Thank you for an amazing time!“

“Kayla and I had an amazing dinner Steak night. Kayla's steak was out of this world delicious. I had the Swordfish which was tasty and delicious. Thank you Brad for treating us like family. We will be back again soon.“

“Good food, friendly spot, big fan. Been coming here for years. Here's my 1 suggestion: for the takeout ...why not offer online ordering? I have to call for take-out, which usually results in the line being busy (in the summer). If I can't get through I have to go elsewhere, which stinks because I live close by. Then, if I do get through, have to provide my credit card info, which is very 2006. Maybe ownership simply doesn't need the takeout biz and prefers it this way, and that's fine, but remains frustrating nonetheless. Just my .02 cents.“

“Wish we discovered Lenny’s sooner. Immediately took me back to the days I lived in Brooklyn and LI. Lenny’s exceeded my expectations. Fresh ingredients — all bursting with flavor. Perfect sauces, real cheeses (not plastic-like as so many seem to be), generous whole ingredients. We will be going back and loading up to bring home extras to Vermont. Friendly service too. Thank you Lenny’s! ?“

“Great local place with excellent food and wine in a comfortable friendly atmosphere.“

“Born in New York and grew up in Huntington. This is my First time at Romas and visiting mom from Virginia, my son has never been to any authentic New York pizza joints. So when we tried Roma’s, he had the Sicilian and he told the owner “it’s the best pizza he ever ate”. Coincidentally the owner knows Tony from our local pizza place in Virginia. Real glad we got up for some real New York pizza before leaving to go home in little ol’ Virginia.“

“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.“
