Great portions and even a decent amount of healthy options. Thank you to the staff for making my night even more special!“

“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.

“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.

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!“

My daughter Victoria and I stopped by this Olive Garden at 1246 Old Country Road, and we had a wonderful experience. Our server, Ariana, was excellent—very attentive, friendly, and professional. The manager, Margarita, was also amazing and made sure everything was perfect.
The food was delicious and came out very fast, which we truly appreciated. We enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere and the outstanding attention we received throughout our visit.
We definitely will be coming back. Highly recommended!“

“Best pizza in Port Washington.“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!!!“

“Excellent service food drink and ambience whether date night family night or flying solo. Italian Bistro done right. Took ole neighborhood lifetime pal Nick D'Agostino from the infamous Venezia de Notte on Central Ave in Yonkers and he dug L&P big time.“

“This is our family's absolute go-to for Italian in the area! We’ve been coming here for years, and it never misses a beat. The food is always fresh and authentic—the pizza and pasta are highlights. We regularly order takeout and it's always hot and on time. If you're looking for a reliable, delicious local spot that feels like home, this is it!“

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

“I came here on 5/28/25 for dinner take out/pick up. I ordered their house/garden salad with grilled chicken, Gnocchi Bolognese, and it came with I believe it is possibly fresh ricotta cheese, which was really good, and it also came with some really good bread. I am a really big salad person and I did not really like the salad or the salad dressing that it came with. My opinion, I was not a fan of the field greens, the field greens did not smell/seem as fresh, compared to other salads that I order from other places. The pasta dish was ok/good but I was not a fan of this either. I was really a fan of the side of fresh ricotta cheese and the delicious bread it came with. It seemed to have a great atmosphere and many people were there eating when I came to pick my food up. The service was good and accurate. This review is simply just my personal opinion. Photos are attached.“

“excellent wait staff. manager, always accomidating to your needs. food dabulous..lamb chops fantastic. they will try and accommodate all your needs. book a reservationn4 the weekend.“

“Got some dinner for family we were visiting. Very good food. We had Rigatoni alla Vodka, Scaloppine alla Sorrentino and Eggplant Rollatini. Everyone did agree my dish,Pollo Scarpariello, was a star. If you like a little spice, it's a winner.“

“After ordering food from here for quite some time, we finally got to the restaurant. It was even better! Great service and delicious food. We will definitely be back very soon. Love the white linguine and clam sauce and our family also enjoyed the chicken parm which was so tender and the bolognese.“

“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!“

“The atmosphere was great and food tasted yummy. Since it’s my first time here, I don’t really read the menu and the staff was very patient to explain everything to us, especially to remind us not to order too many since we’ve only got two people.
Strongly recommend the mussels😋“

“Amazing food and Italian experience! The family atmosphere, menu specials presentation, and food make for an unbelievable experience. You are a part of their family for an evening, and boy are you lucky!“

“First time going there. The food was absolutely amazing! Staff greeted you with a smile and very attentive to our needs. I need to go back to try other things on the menu! Can’t wait to hang there in the Summer as well.“

“Great food!! Nice staff!! Nice place“

“This is my favorite restaurant! The food is excellent, no matter what you order. The sauce reminds me of my mom's. The staff is great,! The waiter didn't even need to write down our orders. Everything was perfect ! Even on a Sunday night the place was packed. I highly recommend this place. One tip make reservations. You can call or even better go on the website and book online“

“What a hidden gem. We love this little place. The food is amazing n staff very kind. Folks in Malverne brag about uva Rossa? I’ve thrown a party there n it’s a nice fancy place. Their pizza is good , not to hard for brick oven, bt? The food is so so. This place the foods phenomenal n their happy hour from 4-6 is amazing. It’s smaller then the other joint bt, man there food n service n fri happy hour? Way better than the other place. I do like both bt. Would only recommend the other joint for bigger parties. This place is the real deal. I live on south side of Lynbrook bt, I’m a foodie n love a fine wine for my happy hour. Please check out this place. I promise u wnt b disappointed.“

“Gluten free menu was fantastic! Thank you so much!“
