“Dolce Vita provides a consistently great experience with really good food, outstanding old-fashions and other drinks, all at good prices! They are very kid friendly and also a great place for meeting friends. Tip, the bar area is a bit quieter if there is a lot of noise or families in the main area.

“Service was awesome. Food was good, especially sesame bun when we sat down, and good tomato brushetta. Not a fan a dogmatic menu statements against substitutions, etc. Also my wife was not impressed with having to ask for (and pay extra) for a tiny bowl of side pasta for chicken parm. Tables seem to be too close together. Overall OK experience being our first time there.“

“I recently visited the Pollo Campero location in Amityville, and I have to say, it was an absolute delight! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was top-notch.

The food itself was incredible. The chicken was perfectly cooked - juicy, flavorful, and with that signature crispy skin. Every bite was a burst of deliciousness.

I have to give a special shout-out to Lilian. Her service was outstanding! She was friendly, efficient, and made sure everything was perfect with our meal. She truly went above and beyond to make our dining experience enjoyable.

The service overall was excellent, and the staff was friendly and attentive.

If you're looking for a fantastic meal, excellent service, and a great atmosphere, definitely head to the Pollo Campero in Amityville. Highly recommended!“

I had the best Philly Cheesesteak hot, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The steak melted in my mouth, and the caramelized onions paired perfectly with the gooey cheese. To top it all off, Nick surprised me with a complimentary slice of cheesecake! The service was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better.

Highly recommend checking this place out amazing food and even better vibes!“

“I am a busy single mom and NEVER leave reviews but The Deli is a place everyone should know about. I had the opportunity to try the subs on March 5th 2026. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with a smile and a smell that made my mouth water!! I picked up 2 full subs and a side of the Mac salad. I did not watch the subs being prepared and was soooo impressed when I got home with them!! My teenage son and I could barely finish one sub!!!! The authenticity of the bread, meats, toppings, and dressing were top notch. Absolutely THE BEST WE HAVE EVER HAD!!! The quality and quantity is worth every penny!! THANK YOU from my family to yours!! We will be seeing you again...sooner than later!!!“

I’m ordering them to get delivered to my hotel for the second day in a row. The shells are yummy as well. Great place- good people- wonderful food. ☺️♥️“

I accidentally placed an order for the wrong day, but they were so understanding and got eight pizzas and appetizers made for me in 20 minutes, and helped me get it all to my car.
