“Love their food and friendly staff. One of our go to places on the Island!“

“Once again Isola did not disappoint! The food, service and ambiance were exceptional! If you have not tried the stuffed olives for an appetizer, they are a MUST! We also shared the fig pizza which was done to perfection! For dinner, my one cousin and I had the Spaghettini a la Arrabbiata ( a new item on the men) and was DELICIOUS! The rest of my family had the Branzino and short ribs which were out of this world! From entering the restaurant, my family and I were greeted enthusiastically ( and with a big smile!) by Bella at the front desk, we were seated promptly and our server Maureen, continued that warm and enthusiastic hospitality once we were seated and that same level of hospitality continued throughout our time dining. This is by far my favorite restaurant on the island! Thank you so much for another fabulous dining experience with exceptional food and service!! We will be back soon!“

“Had a large Xtra cheese pizza. I'll give another half star for 41/2 stars. We ate in and I think they wanted to satisfy us too quickly. Pizza was very good, another minute in the oven and 5 stars for food. Service, good and friendly and atmosphere is typical. Give it a try!“

“I was there on Thursday the food was great! Only problem was I wasn't aware of the gratuity that was put on for six or more people. So we ended up spending much more money than we excepted“

“It has been many years since we have been to Olive Garden. Let me tell you the experience we had last night was awesome. We had a server who was brand new so she was a little off, but she was very good. The food was fantastic. Really had a good time and a good celebration.Kid-friendliness: There is a high emphasis on kids. When we arrived, we asked real quickly for a mac & cheese and a spaghetti dinner for the two little ones and that came right away along with orange juice and lemonade. Plus they had some crayons and something to color right off the bat.“

“I recently got a cheesesteak from Slice of Heaven. This cheesesteak was absolutely amazing. I don't know who made it but I would consider giving them a raise. I ate half for dinner and then half for lunch and the quality both times was amazing. Thank you Slice of Heaven. I will be coming back to get another cheesesteak very soon.“

“Made a reservation for a birthday, party of ten. They had us all set up in a big room with a server ready to go as soon as I got there. Wine glasses, ice buckets c water, etc. Emily was a gem! Service was perfect. We all ordered different items. Everyone loved their food. I had the shrimp francais. Best I ever had, and I'm picky because I cook a lot. Food was nice and hot . After dinner our plates were cleared and Emily wrapped all our leftovers for us. Highly recommend Pietros for your next dinner choice .“

“We had a family event catered by Vinnie's. The staff were extremely helpful and patient when we ordered the food. The delivery was on time and the driver very pleasant. Everyone was delighted with the food. We had people from out of state and out of the country. We will certainly be using Vinnie’s again for our events. Thank you!“

“Really nice and friendly staff. We are from a place where pizza is king so I cannot be too hard on them. I think the food was all very good and above average for sure. It was not something I would run back for, but would eat again in a pinch. I'm happy we tried this place and sprinkled a little business their way. Pizza and sandwiches were just what we needed after a long day at the beach.“

“Some people love fast food, I love pizza! This place has been around forever and I always heard such great things. When my daughter was a senior during the pandemic they had an adopt a senior program and the senior I adopted wanted a Ray's pizza because he loved it. Finally I got a chance to try it out. I'm not going to lie it's a bit of a dive but clean.The people are extremely pleasant and it seemed to be a family run business.Straight out of the oven our delicious thin crusted pizza came out and we started to drool just a little. Compared to some thin crust pizza places I would consider this pizza to be medium in crust, they used real cheese because the pizza actually had oil coming off.A bunch of pizza places have got cheap using cheap mozzarella or adding provolone,this place used good cheese! The first slice I had was delicious but after that the second the sauce was a little sweet. I think I devoured my first slice. Overall this pizza place deserves a solid 4!!I would definitely go again.“

“Stopped into the deli yesterday to pic up some drinks, left with eggplant stacks, lasagna, chicken cordon bleu bites and meatballs for dinner! The store is very well stocked with all kinds of imported dry goods like imported specialty balsamic vinegars, olive oils, and store prepared foods! The “olive case” looked amazing and the deli meats and sandwiches looked even better! The cookie counter has tons of Italian cookies and pastries! They even have these nice cheese boards with their logo on them (shout out to the girl behind the counter who Hooke us up!!!! Very nice gift for someone… or even just for yourself! The staff is very friendly and super helpful! If your in LBI stop in and check them out! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Ordered online on Friday night as we were heading to LBI for the weekend. It was ready when we got there a half hour later. We ordered two small pizzas (they only have small and large), garlic knots and mozzarella sticks. Everything was good! I love garlic knots and rarely have them. These were great!“
