The ambiance of the restaurant was classy, cozy and casual. The staff was welcoming and extremely attentive to the needs of our table, e.g. replenishment of the bread basket, water glasses etc. guest requests.We enjoyed a cooking demonstration prepared by Franco, the owner/chef. His step by step explanations of the recipes for our salad and pasta dish were not only entertaining but truly delicious! There was an abundance of choices for entrees. Everyone at my table enjoyed their dinner. This dining experience was fun and delicious. I will definitely be returning with friends to try other menu choices.

Excellent food. I have eaten there several times and the food was always delicious! Service is very attentive and polite. Can't go wrong with a dinner at Italianissimo's!!!

Visited for a private event, and the food and service was incredible. The buffet had a nice array of Italian dishes and brunch items, and the servers were super friendly and attentive. Loved the way the private room was set up. Really nice ambiance if you're looking to host a party.

We loved everything about our experience here. From the time you arrive until you leave the service and food are exceptional. If you get an appetizer, full meal and a coffee it's about $50 a person. The Pollo Sorrento and the Saltimbocca alla Ramana are delicious. The staff is very attentive. The atmosphere is great and the decorations are classy.

Food and service was great - ambiance was too quiet for my liking .... If you want a quiet sit down Italian dinner this is the place for you !!
Last night my husband and I had a reservation at Italianissimo. We had dined there years ago but not recently. We were planning to check out the restaurant for our family who are looking for a restaurant for a big family dinner. We arrived, parked our car and walked into the restaurant. We passed the coatcheck and told the girl working there we did not want to check our coats. I had a very small wallet clutch. In my hip length jacket pockets I had stored my phone and important medication which I need to take at 7 PM. For these reasons I did not choose to check my jacket. When we went through the door the host stopped and told us to check our jackets. He said there was no room for wait staff with jackets at our seats. The way he approached us was with a very rude non caring attitude. After this my husband said to me should we go elsewhere? The host rudely interrupted our conversation and said yes I would be happy if you go somewhere else. Yes we went elsewhere and enjoyed a fantastic Italian dinner. There are too many wonderful restaurants in the area to have to be treated like the way we were, do yourself a favor and skip Italianissimo. Go to either Bocelli's Cielo, Nino's, Basilio, Da Noi, Esca's or go to New Dorp and have a great meal at Brioso! You can be sure my family party will not be at Italianissimo!

The service was friendly, but the food was disappointing. The dishes lacked creativity and were not very appetizing.
