“My favorite pizza place. I live in Seaford, but will go here, or have them deliver when its my turn to order pizza. The guys who work here are all very. Prices are very reasonable. Delivery is always, accurate, on-time or sometimes a little early. I highly recommend their grandma pie...hate to admit it, but I could probably eat an entire pie myself...the slices are light and go down easy. Im also a fan of their regular and Sicilian pies. My daughter likes their white pie and the chicken parm pie is another new favorite of my family.“

“As always I give this restaurant 5 stars. Met friends for dinner on Sunday night. The service is exceptional. All of us had something different and we all enjoyed our food. My friend did a price fixed with filet of sole and said it was delicious. The brussel sprouts appetizer was excellent. We also started with fried calamari, though small portion, was good. I had a hamburger which was huge with the onions and musrooms. The burger was cooked to perfection. The other two in our party also finished their food. It was very quiet so we were able to communicate easily with our friends.“

“We only came here because it was listed on BringFido, since we were traveling with our 20 pound Shiba Inu, Toby. What a wonderful experience that we had! The food was amazing! And we had just gotten back from the Amalfi coast in Italy. So that has to say something for this place! Jimmy, our server, was a doll and was so kind and brought things out for our dog, like water, etc. - very warm and welcoming place!!! of course we had to eat alfresco, and the traffic was a bit busy at that hour - so if it wasn’t for that noise, we would had an even greater time! But the excellent food and the excellent service more than made up for it! we will definitely be back with Toby!“

“Great menu. Great food. I was there for dinner with my family. We enjoyed it.“

“Hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner here and we are SO glad did - everything was perfect! Everyone could not get over how delicious all the food was. Danny worked with us to create a menu that was tailored to us and our guests and we got SO much food included in the package we did. He also worked with us to create table arrangements that worked best for our event. I was worried at first that the space only being partially private and not a true private room would be an issue but it was not at all! We really didn’t need it and were happy to still get to enjoy the Sinatra singer that plays for the restaurant that night. He even came over and sang for our party and had us dance which was not expected but a fun surprise that we loved! Overall we had a great event here and I am so happy we chose them to host it!“

“My go to place for special occasions. Mike always makes us feel at home. Not only is the food fantastic, but the staff is helpful and kind. They even went out of their way to help my handicap mother get in and out of the car! Food is delicious and tons of variety when compared to the standard Italian restaurant. Great portions and even a decent amount of healthy options. Thank you to the staff for making my night even more special!“

“We had Thanksgiving dinner here with my two boys. The service was absolutely outstanding. Our waitress was amazing . The food was beyond what I expected. Well done!!!! The portions were beyond believable and believe it or not the take home portions were just as amazing as they were when first brought out. More than 5 stars. Excellent evening and the price was ridiculously resendable. Great job to all the cooks and the people that don't get the recognition they deserve in the preparation of this fantastic meal.“

I would especially like to commend Sean for the exceptional management of the logistics and preparation.

“Words really cannot express what a perfect setting La Parma III Italian Restaurant was for our family.
I was trying to plan a luncheon to take place after a funeral remotely from San Diego, CA, and had nothing to go on other than a recommendation from the funeral home
I called and spoke to Guido on a Friday and the lunch was being planned for the upcoming Tuesday 8-27th a few days later.
Being in the catering business myself and immediately hearing "no problem" we can do it all, was simply music to my ears. Guido said he would not be in on that Sunday when I wanted to come check it out in person but gladly provided me with the Managers name that would be available that day to meet. When I arrived at the restaurant, I met Richie, and he could not have been more helpful in confirming everything that I had expected to happen.
Not only did they have us set up in a beautiful room with everything ready to go but both Guido and Richie were there during the lunch and worked the entire event in coordination with their amazing team. From the initial contact over the phone, all the way to the completion of the lunch we could not be happier with how professional and accommodating the people at La Parma III were, especially considering we had just lost our loved one. We would call them again for this or any other meal we needed to be catered. In summary, the food and service were five stars, A+, or whatever is the best grade possible!“

“They always have great bands.“

“I had my son's wedding rehearsal dinner at Zona last night. I was originally booked to have the party on Saturday, but the bride came down with the flu. Gianna was so helpful and accommodating. She was able to change the date for me without hesitation. The day of the affair, the staff was so helpful in getting the room set up for us. Our waitress, Jodi, was absolutely incredible. She made sure that our guests had a fresh drink before they even realized their drink was empty. The food was delicious and plentiful. But most of all, the service that Jodi provided to us was outstanding. I would book another event at Zona without hesitation.“

“An excellent family lunch. The food was, as usual, delicious and fresh. The server was friendly and efficient. It was quiet, a real treat for this restaurant that gets noisy at dinner time. Not one complaint about the delicious appetizers and main courses..our off season choice for great Italian food. Summer parking next to impossible!“

“Atlantic Pizzeria on Atlantic Ave in Freeport NY- It was my first time visiting this restaurant today and though I don’t normally write reviews, I felt compelled to state what a wonderful establishment! My daughter, who is very shy, spilled a drink in there and the workers replaced it immediately at no charge and cleaned it up right away! As a parent, this meant the world to me because I did not want her to feel uncomfortable.. thank you and we will be back! Please support!“

“The food is consistently excellent. The team is very professional and makes each guest feel like a VIP! Wonderful and welcoming atmosphere for almost 40 years! La Parma II is a great asset to Huntington!“

“The owner is great, the bartenders are great, Kerry the manager is so kind and nice and accommodating. The food is delicious; there’s too much food there’s always at least two meals for each order the food that you make. The overall ambience is fun as the patrons that frequent this restaurant are regulars. There’s just a homey and fun tinge to this Bellmore Classic.“

“Angelo’s Little Italy is the best. I’ve been there for dinner several times and they never disappoint. From the service to the food, everything is great. This past weekend, we had my sister’s bridal shower there. Tina the owner and her staff went above and beyond. We were able to arrive an hour and a half before our party to decorate. They even offered to hang a command hook on the wall so we could hang something. We had a brunch menu and Bellinis, mimosas & bloody Mary’s. Everything was delicious. I highly recommend giving them a try for lunch or dinner or if you are hosting a party. Can’t wait to go back again!“

“Exciting menu, never a disappointment. Their Seafood festival is to die for.“

“The staff are so friendly and the food is outstanding. Great experience for my son’s post Graduation ceremony dinner. Highly recommend! 🍝“

“Excellent Italian in a very competitive restaurant scence in Rockville Center. Been there for decades and it is a local gem. The food is awesome but I do not like that they do not give pasta with an entree but rather give mashed potatoes. Pasta can be ordered ala carte. A little silly if you ask me but those are the rules. They close promply at 9pm and last order taken is at 830pm so be aware of that. Excellent wine list. Amarone choices are great.“

“Very cozy restaurant. My first time here and I highly recommend. Service was great and food was extremely tasteful“

“Great food we like the food was good . Very nice .“

“Great service as well!!!!!“

“I just had my daughter’s baptism at Fabio’s. From the food to the service everything was amazing! My guests were raving about the food. We did family style and it was more than enough food. We even had leftovers to take home! Fabio went above and beyond helping us set up the decorations the night before my party. We never felt rushed (we were there til 1am). He wants his guests to have a great experience and we did! Thanks to Fabio, Rose, Marty and the entire staff for a great party!“

“Awesome food great friendly service one of our all time favorites“

“We had a last minute reservation for 8 people, and we were lucky enough to snag a table. YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE! Our entire table loved the food. From the appetizers (the warm bread, the amazing carmalized onion spread, & the Calamari), to the main courses (the NY strip steak, the shrimp, and the ravioli), to the dessert (trust me... get the bread pudding!) everything was impeccable. The service staff was also amazing, very attentive and kind. I will definitely be back!“

“Meta always goes above and beyond for a fabulous dining experience. This past Sunday, I called to see if it was possible to bring in an Elvis impersonator for my Dad who is in remission from cancer. Not only was Roberto and his staff receptive to the idea, the whole restaurant was singing along with Elvis and all of us. This night was truly magical and I cannot thank Roberto and his staff enough for making my Dad’s dining experience so memorable. The food was amazing, the drinks were flowing and the dessert was delicious. If you haven’t tried Meta, I highly recommend this fine restaurant for a wonderful night 🎉“
