“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!“

“They renovated recently and I wonder if the place changed hands. The ambience and food have lost some old world Italian charm and depth. Everything was very good but we went there previously because it was phenomenal. It was just good this time. It's all relative I suppose.“

“My wife and I really enjoyed the entire setting family style dinning. We both love eggplant very much the seasonings were not salty or spicy plenty of sauce stuffed with fresh ricotta cheese. All of what we could see were large entrees no fru fru at all. This is another local good place to dine in Floral Park.“

“Wonderful lunch ! Delicious food and very reasonable. Moses our waiter was so kind an attentive. He made our visit extra special. Booking my birthday lunch , can’t wait.“

“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.“

“Cala Luna is by far the best restaurant in Mineola. Their lack of advertising and marketing keeps their business down. I recommend highly to anyone to try this place, they will not be disappointed.“

“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!“

“We had our daughter’s first birthday here and they knocked it out of the park. Anthony and John and the rest of the staff are awesome. Food was incredible. Highly recommended!“

“Ordered for the first time last night, they were super accommodating since we called at 8:45 and they close at 9:00…. They made us 5 pies and I’m was so appreciative. They were so nice and even recommended one which I absolutely loved (with potatoes!) we can’t wait to go back but to eat there so we get the Pizza Hut out of the oven! Amazing owners and such a delight to have in valley steam!! The owner explained the ingredients and concept to my husband and his friend. They can’t back telling us so about it!“

“First time me and my son loved their seafood is fresh and delicious compliments to the Chef“

“I was recently there for a graduation dinner that just so happened to be father’s day, My server Vanessa made sure we felt welcomed and provided top service. It was so refreshing to receive such amazing service on such a busy day, especially for such a big group at such a late time. Thank you so much Vanessa!!“

“We lucked upon this lovely place when staying in a nearby hotel due to a canceled flight. I highly recommend the burrata appetizer; our other dishes were great too but came from the specials menu so you may not be able to get them consistently. Soft shell crabs, veal osso buco... but I think anything you get there will be fresh and of the highest quality. Good wine list too. If we ever find ourselves in the neighborhood again we will make a point of returning to Franina.“

“Best pizza in Port Washington.“

“Might be the BEST Italian food I’ve had in a long time. Absolutely delicious! Service was excellent also. Highly recommend!“

“I enjoyed this restaurant and experience and would 100% go back. The polenta fries were yummy but very salty and the arugula salad was also really good (maybe toast the pine nuts for future?). The eggplant parm was okay and my friend said it may have been lacking something. I had the clam pizza and it was very good! I love clam pizza and this is up there on the list. My friend ordered the $50ish steak and while it was good, there was too much inedible fat on it (hence the 3 rating on food). The potatoes and onions that came with it were apparently delicious!“

“My wife and I celebrated our 43rd anniversary this week. We went to la Parma- I had been there before and my wife has not but was always looking to go. Well we went tonight to celebrate and we weren’t disappointed. The food was great and plentiful, the service was very attentive and the experience was great. Thank you to Rudy who took care of us and thank you to all the people involved who made the night a great experience.“

“Great food, great service! Will be back for sure!“

“One of the best Italian restaurants in Lynbrook or anywhere else. They use the freshest and highest quality ingredients and prepare the food exquisitely. I ordered takeout tonight for six people in my extended family and served it family style, and everyone was raving about the food. We ordered Scallops Oreganato, Shrimp Stuffed with Crabmeat, Chicken Francese, Zuppe di Clams White Sauces and a few appetizers and it was all superbly prepared. Several of us were from other towns and repeatedly asked me how to find this place so they could visit in the near future.“

“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!“

“Great food. People are really nice as well.“

“The meal was delicious. my son and I had the Penne Diane and asked for the chicken to be blackened which was perfect. my daughter had the Pesto Sole and said it was the best and my husband had the Snapper which was perfection.“

“Order # 6760 on 7/14/22 was cooked to perfection. Order was ready when i arrived. It was excellent t!!!“

“I am in love with this place. Besides the classic Italian menu items they have unique dishes like their Blueberry Meatballs and Calamari Verde ( my favorite ) add to that the wonderful staff and you have a great place to take family and friends to.“

“Food was delicious and the service was great!!! Will definitely return.“

“I ran into a small hiccup during my visit here and the staff handled it with so much kindness and understanding. They went out of their way to make sure I wasn’t left without what I needed. I cannot express how much I appreciated the gesture. It truly says a lot about the people running this establishment, and that alone gives me enough reason to continue to support and recommend Villa Milano and its staff!“

“highly recommend. everyone always asks where we cater from. nothing is ever left!! delicious food always. the string bean salad is one of my favorties. the raviolis are made fresh there. if you want an amazing meal go see them!“

“The staff is outstanding 👏 👌
They are relaxed and eager to please. We were 40 people for a 50th Wedding Aniversary and allowed everyone to order from the menu.
Unheard of to serve hot specialty foods all at once. The dood was Plated with care and artistry. They served amazing Chocolate martinis and catered to everyone's wishes. The pizza looked outstanding!
I recommend this place with high 👏 praise.“

“We celebrated my dad’s 80th bday in one of the igloos. We had such a nice time. My dad loved the unique experience and the food was absolutely delicious.“

“It is a small white-cloth old school italian restaurant located in what is essentially a strip mall. Atmosphere is cosy. It was half-full when I was there, and the noise levels were fine. Food is standard Italian fare that you would expect to find. They give you free bread with olive oil, along with parmesan cheese, olives, salami, and peppers. I had the veal parmigiana which was great. Crab-stuffed mushroom is a great appetizer as well, probably my favorite dish I had there. Waiters are excellent, friendly and professional, have all been working there for many years.“

“Came here on recommendation. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the salmon and it was the best salmon I have ever eaten. The chicken francese was also spectacular. Our waiter, Roberto went above and beyond. The manager made a point to check in at every table. I can not recommend this restaurant enough. It is a must visit.“
