“Went here on Easter 2024 for dinner with my family and it was a very pleasant experience. We were quick to be seated and served and service was amazing the servers that helped us were very nice and accommodating. The food was out of this world and they have a very big selection on their menu.I washed it down with some delicious house wine they had. Overall very good experience here and will definitely be coming back again when I visit Island Park again.Also I’d like to include this place was not packed or overcrowded at all. We were helped and seated as soon as we walked in.“
“(Edited my og review because it was poorly written and rushed.)So there I was, on a spontaneous adventure, when suddenly, BAM! Google throws me a curveball - "Nutella Empanada." You bet I was intrigued. It was like the universe daring me, "Bet, let's go."Stumble into this place, and it's like I've walked into the heart of the local scene. This guy, just oozing neighborhood vibes, hits me with, "You're not from around here, huh? Welcome to the best Italian spot in town." And he didn't stop there - gave me the lowdown on all the hidden gems nearby. This dude was living and breathing local charm, and I was here for it. The lobby? Packed with the coolest cats you could meet.Turns out, snagging a table at this joint is usually like finding a unicorn - pretty darn rare. But guess what? They worked some magic and got us in... into an outdoor igloo, no less! Yeah, you read that right. An igloo! (Peep the pics for proof - it's as rad as it sounds.)Now, let's talk food. Holy smokes, it's delish. The staff? Angels in disguise, I swear. Super friendly, on-point, and ready to make your experience top-notch.Oh, and if you see anything with Vodka sauce on the menu, just do yourself a favor and order it. It's a solid 10/10. Trust.All in all, this spot isn't just a restaurant; it's a local legend. Do yourself a favor and drop by. You won't regret it.“
“This restaurant can lend itself to a very noisy environment. Yet today, with several tables taken, conversation was easy and able to be heard. We have been here several times for brunch and a couple of times for dinner. Delicious salad with greens, grape tomatoes and fresh red onions cut over a chicken milanese. Companions enjoyed their choices of crab cake benedict and a large cubano sandwich served with homemade shoestring fries. Shared their homemade flourless chocolate cakes served with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. Three happy people after an excellent brunch.“
“Hi I don't usually don't do reviews but I had a surprise birthday party for my wife on 3/23 of a party of 20 people and from the beginning dealing with and planning with EVA she went up and above my expectations walking me threw everything from beginning to end I can't say enough of her and Barbara and just wanted to thank Barbara our server handled all of us with no issues at all and all of the staff who helped with everything from Eva, Barbara and would give both of them 10 stars and more and food was absolutely exquisite“
“I highly recommend eating here!! The food is Amazing!! The Service is always on Spot!! They are always friendly and helpful. You never have to wait to call your server, there always on top of it!! The atmosphere here is so pleasant. So in all you MUST try Filomena's you will not be disappointed!!!!“
“Just came from Baldoria for an early New Year's dinner. The food was excellent and so was the service. We had Burrata with melon an prosciutto as an appetizer then veal parm that could have easily served 3 people and pork osso bucco served w risotto. It was delicious. We definitely return again for dinner. M“
“I had an amazing experience at the pizzeria! The pizzas were delicious, with a perfect balance of flavors. What truly stood out was the exceptional customer service - friendly staff, prompt service, and a welcoming atmosphere. A must-visit.“
“Great neighborhood family owned italian restaurant. It always so enjoyable eating at Eliza's. Chef makes great food and always has great specials to choose from each night. We started we baked clams and needed to ask for more bread to soak up all that delicious sauce. We both decided on pasta for dinner and both were great choices. I went with pasta rollo which was rolled up fresh lasagna. After seeing similar dishes online I always wanted to try it glad they had it and it was delicious. My wife enjoyed her pasta with chicken & broccoli. Since it was Tuesday they have pasta night and both dishes came with a nice salad.“
“Delightful Italian experience! We started with sautéd calamari and the Ceaser perfect for the both of us. The penne a la vodka was aldente and creamy, and the halibut was perfectly cooked amazing with the potato and escarole combo. Exceptional flavors, friendly service a must try! True hidden “
“My brother and I had dinner at The Chef's Table in Lynbrook on Sunday evening (3/17). The appetizer and our entrees were excellent, ambience was very nice, service was fantastic, and there weren't a lot of people yakking away, so it was nice and quiet. The only thing I would have preferred was a male server, but the female server was great. I strongly recommend this restaurant for fine food, nice atmosphere, and great service.“
“My family and I went there to celebrate my husband’s and my birthday. We were treated like royalty, the service, food and lovely atmosphere couldn’t be better! This restaurant truly lives up to its name! We look forward our next visit!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“We had the espresso martini (no Baileys) We had the bacon wrapped shrimp special appetizer , so good definitely for 1 person. We had the eggplant rigatoni regatti and linguine white clam sauce with shrimp and pancetta both delicious! Cannoli we shared for dessert, yummy !“
“The service was excellent. Very loud on Peak Busy times. Seating is very tight. They pack you in. If you are looking for a quiet, intimate setting, this is not the place on busy peak times. The food was okay. Steaks are great. Salad was okay. You are going there for the steaks. I had stuffed shrimp with crab meat. Real crab meat. It was a little on the dry side. The potatoes were good. The chocolate cake was decent, but the actual cake was very dry. Service was amazing, and you are not rushed.Parking: Valet parking“
“We had a pleasant visit to Luogo's. All the meals and appetizers were perfect. The sangria was amazing. I doubted our server when I saw he didn't write down our very large order but was relieved when he came back around to confirm he had my meal correctly. It's not a place I'd go back to by choice but defiantly wouldn't mind coming back if someone chooses this place for their birthday again. The vibe of this place is very nice, romantic, dress up nice and go in a date kind of place. I did see kids here but I wouldn't pick this as a place to bring younger children to. One thing I didn't like too much was one of the workers here knew someone from out party and kept coming over having side conversations and even bought him and only him a shot of some fancy cognac which was kind of rude seeing as he could of atleast offered the birthday girl (very clear by the balloons who we were celebrating) a shot as well. We were a party of about 14 so I get not getting a round for the table.“
“This place is so good. They have amazing Italian food although it's in an unexpected place. The servers are also super nice and friendly and the ambience is modern, clean, and pretty cute. I think sometimes they have live music and that's really nice. Make sure to try their pastas. Super delicious“
“Great food at a small local place with ambiance... if you can get a reservation. They change their menu seasonally... Their wood fired pizza -smoked mozzarella, figs, prosciutto, arugula, pecorino, balsamic is amazing! So is the octopus//lemon & squid ink bean puree..pistachio gremolata..pickled chiles & red onions..celery! They should have cushions available for their metal chairs for those with back issues.“
“Great family feeling. Delicious food...owner???.Had my birthday dinner tonight....can't wait to go back!!!!Kid-friendliness: My 7 year old granddaughter Abigail loves it there. She can practice the two words she knows in Italian... Ciao Bella and loves the food“
“I really enjoyed eating at Olive Graden BGC. Especially the salad. I got 5 refills of it. The staffs was very accomodating and attended all our needs. Kudos! For a job well done.Vegetarian options: I love eating vegetables so I recommend this for vege lovers.“
“My family and I absolutely loved Vincent's Clam Bar.The customer service from the Manger, the host and the best waiter ever. We had our memorial dinner for our beloved brother Vincent and they treated us like family. The food was delicious. Thank you for an incredible experience!“
“Gio's has become one of my favorite restaurants to dine. Not only is the food delicious but the staff is truly the best, so friendly and accommodating. My husband and I have dined here 3 times (twice bringing friends). We look forward to bringing more people with us that haven't experienced it yet. My go to dish is the Veal Sorrentino, I can't get enough of it. It really is “the best in the city”. Last night we also had the Bolognese, it was perfect and the stuffed artichoke. Sop up the sauce with their delicious bread. Great cocktails and wine too. Everything we had has been amazing and flavorful. Kudos to Deena (hope I spelled correctly). She's a gem!!“
“My twin daughters' had their Sweet 16 dinner with 20 friends. The food, the atmosphere, the service, the accomodarions....OUTSTANDING!Vegetarian options: The have plenty of vegetarian options.Kid-friendliness: The staff was so welcoming to 20 teenagers for 3 hours! The owner and staff were so very considerate to them all!“
“We hosted a party of 25 at Sapori’s to celebrate our son’s baptism. From the moment we went in to plan for the dinner to the entire dinner experience, we have nothing but great things to say! The staff is incredibly friendly and professional, all while providing us with excellent service - not to mention the amazing food and drinks. They were accommodating of all of our requests and everything was done so well! We highly recommend Sapori’s and will be back for more events in the future.“
“I have been to meta few times and each time I had a very good meal in front of me! Service is nice friendly and happy to assist you with choices on their menu. Ambience of this place is in my opinion old school style restaurant. Either you come with jeans and hoodie or nice dress, both ways are fine. Quality of the food and their quantity is more what ppl are going to look into it;) had a good time!“
“Dinner tonight was excellent! Staff is amazing everyone is friendly, helpful and hardworking. We found this gem in January and we have been back 3 times since then and we couldn't find anything wrong with this restaurant. Great staff, great and plentiful food. Don't miss out!“
“Although the place was busy for a Friday, we were seated immediately at the bar. Food choices is mostly italian and a brick over pizza. Bar service is good Adrian the bartender makes the best Martinis.. Tried the wild berry cosmo and I'm addicted. Also tried the coconut Martini which was also quite good. Pours are generous. For appetizers the Octopus was quite good. Served with Hummus and Crisps.. You will eat everything in the plate.. Perfect compliments. For my entree.. Had the RVC pizza.. White sauce pizza with toppings which included Prosciutto, arugula and parmigiana cheese. Fantastic... Will make this a part of my regular rotation“
“We had the espresso martini (no Baileys) We had the bacon wrapped shrimp special appetizer , so good definitely for 1 person. We had the eggplant rigatoni regatti and linguine white clam sauce with shrimp and pancetta both delicious! Cannoli we shared for dessert, yummy !“
“Went to Mangia Bene in Valentine's Day for an early dinner & loved the ambience & service that we experienced. Nicoletta our waitress was soft spoken, knowledgeable & patient with our ordering. We ordered the chicken parmigiana, casarroce di bosco, meatballs, eggplant rollatinis, roasted chicken wings & for desert torta burro. We enjoyed everything including the bar & wine selections. I had a gulietta & Lambrusco.Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free homemade pasta“
“Came in for lunch on a Saturday, We all ordered a lunch special, as well as the herb roasted vegetables as a starter. Everything was really fresh and delicious! I had the special Ribollita soup and Caprese salad, and the kids had vegetable soup and Spaghetti & Meatballs. The portions were generous for the price and we left very satisfied. Definitely will come back to try the rest of the menu.“
“Always a most enjoyable dinner with friendly servers who always know you and seem to remember your favorite dishes from prior visits . There is no better local outstanding Italian cuisine that I can recommend other than Casa di Fratelli in westbury . Come hungry !!!!“
“We recently moved to Lynbrook and Gallery Four is one of our favorite restaurants for take-out. We order frequently. Our meal comes with salad and bread. Their food is delicious, fresh, and affordable. We have ordered chicken francese, lasagna, chicken parm, penne alla vodka, and garlic knots. Will continue ordering from them and trying new meals. ?“
“I had received a gift card for this restaurant as a Christmas gift and decided to dine out and use the gift card that night. Although I had reserved a table, the wait time was lenghty. The staff were very pleasant and we didn't mind the wait. We ordered the Salmon with capers. It was perfectly done and quite delectable. I would order it again. Thank you. It was a nice dining experience.“
“The pizza is the best on the island, I can attest to this amazing pizza, which I ate an entree and 3 additional slices. Their entrees are generous and delicious! The place is quaint, homey and the service is solid. The pizza and the white clams cause pasta is worth it! This place is a gem…. Absolutely the best pizza in LI .Kid-friendliness: Kids meals at a great price“
“Amazing place. Definitely a Greek touch, even to the Italian dishes. Their avgolemono soup is amazing. Pizza is excellent, too. Ingredients are fresh. Staff is lovely and the service/ambiance are very welcoming and quick paced. Would recommend to anyone.“
“Roman style pizza sounded interesting, so we stopped in and tried some. Very glad we did because it was amazing.We ended up with 4 slices. 2 Roman style, 2 traditional. The Roman style were sausage with broccoli rabe and spinach with artichoke. The traditional were a burrata and vodka pepperoni basil and pesto slice. I can't tell you which was the best because they were all amazing. It was nice to get some slices with fresh greens on them that actually tasted good.I wish I had taken a picture of all the pizza because the variety of slices they had was crazy. Maybe next time I'll get the truffel slice.Parking: Parking in the area.“
“Probably the best NY style pizza I’ve had in Long Island. I’m from out of town but this spot has opened my eyes to what’s good in the area.Vegetarian options: There are many vegetarian options for almost all kinds of Italian dishes.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options and are accommodating to peoples dietary restrictionsParking: Lots of paid street parking, free parking across the street and also free manuciple parking near by.Kid-friendliness: It is very kid friendly and even has a party room that can host birthday parties or any kind of party at that.Wheelchair accessibility: There is rampant access at the end of the street at the street lights.“
“Always wanted to visit finally didCan't wait to go backDebra and staff were great, my wife loved the veal sorrento and I had a double cut pork chop from the specials that was fantasticDid not realize until later that was probably Guy at the stove“
“Medium sized but small enough for an intimate dinner with an old high school friend. Great service and excellent attitude by both waiters. Most definitely would go back. Good came fast and no hidden fees on the check. Easy parking out front.“
“My family has been frequenting this location for 20 years and it never disappoints. It is family style, so go with a group, and go hungry! Always have to start with some apps. The chopped salad is amazing, and the artichoke is tops. Those are my personal go to's. My father's favorite dishes there are the Chicken Cacciatore and the Veal Soprano. My mother loves the Marachiatta, and I love the shrimp marinara parmigiana (shrimp not breaded). The service is always phenomenal, from the moment you walk in, to bar service, and straight through dinner.“
“My main local hangout since I was 15! If you're a vegan, gluten-free or whatever, this place has got you covered! They have a great food selection and an amazing coffee/tea selection too! Try the awesome deserts as well! Atmosphere is that of gothic/punk east village right here closer to home! Tell them "Gordo" sent you!“
“All time Favorite! This is a local Italian restaurant to me and we absolutely LOVE IT! This has been our go to restaurant for Italian food for a few years now. Ambience is not chic or upscale, but it's not terrible either. It offers really comfortable dining, service is among and food is DELICIOUS! We love their baked clams, and almost all their pastas (we haven't tried all just yet). Each pasta dish is served family style. Desert is delicious and you can't go wrong with any option! Highly recommend! On the weekends, the parking lot does get filed up quickly and they don't do reservations! But it's worth the wait on their busiest days!“
“I love this place usually take out & more delivery than anything else but during the summer I do dine in after the park w my kid & sometimes hubby either way the place never disappoints!Kid-friendliness: Staff is great & never new“
“Absolutely delicious. The food is fantastic. I had calamari...perfect, Shrimp Francaise...perfect, literally. I had a slice of Margherita pizza at the first bite, I closed my eyes and threw my head back. The staff was friendly and the place was clean.GO NOW?!!!“
“This restaurant is top tier , the food is so delicious and amazing. Inside is so beautiful and all of the workers and managers are friendly . This is my new place to go for now on for dinner since I’m new to the neighborhood with my wife . We both enjoy this place I would give 10 starts if I can . Before I left one night I’ve left my wallet and didn’t notice until the next day then I went back to ask and they had it right there and then returned it to me with nothing missing at all . Thank you guys so much !!!!“
“Me and my family went here for dinner. A colleague at work suggested this place and I am so thankful to her that she did . I had already visited their location in Boston with her so I had idea what I wanted which is a family style menu. I love their family style menu with this you get food a plenty. You get to choose what you want and you can get refills which is the best part. You can practically eat all night and they will keep on bringing you food.The only thing I will advise is when you go here do not eat lunch or breakfast that day or you will be sorry. The food is amazing you’re gonna eat more but if you had lunch or breakfast, you will not be able to eat as much as you want to, so my friend come hungry.The menu it starts with the salad options are the Maggiano salad or the Caesar salad . I always take both but I don’t focus on the salads because what’s coming is more amazing.For starters, I love love and love the stuffed mushrooms. Always very nice. Very delicious. it’s a vegetarian option, but taste every bite. The second choice for starters for me is the simple bruschetta, the bread is crunchy and the ingredients nice.The main course we ordered chicken piccata, which is my usual go to in an Italian restaurant . I firmly believe you cannot screw up chicken piccata and these guys certainly don’t they delivered pretty well. Good job with the lemon sauce in the base which gives the chicken the flavor. My son could not stop eating it.When they say they are famous for the rigatoni I agree with them 110%, the creamy sauce in the rigatoni makes hell of a difference very hard to describe. It’s a little bit salty little bit Tangy, and very creamy.The four cheese ravioli was cooked amazing, the serving was delightful, looked nice. my daughters could not stop eating it. It was very delicious.Dessert sampler is the bonus in the family style financially speaking. They give you five desserts on a board, the sizes are decent certainly more than just a flavor of those desserts. it is quite a good mix. Love the crème brûlée in there. I like it because the sugar balance in it is just not too much not too low.For the amount of food you get it’s more than worth it . Some might call it expensive at $40.99 per adult but for the amount of food they give you it is more than worth it, not only you can get as many refills as you want as you keep on finishing food and whatever you don’t finish you can take it home. What else do you need?“
“Just went for the first time in December, but I've been there 3 times since. Easily my new favorite diner the food is really good and the service is great as well. According to my 6 year old son, it's a 5 star restaurant because he loves the bacon! I do agree, though it's a very nice little diner. Excellent burgers and French toast, fresh black and white cookies for dessert and great milkshakes!“
“Amazingly good food fresh ingredients prepared perfectly I’m disabled so getting out is a problem but my food arrived hot and packaged well this is my new go to for Italian takeout the seafood chowder is to die for rich and filling simply stupendous I told my family about this place and when we were all together we Took in again and they absolutely loved it the food is outrageous!!! Great pizza also the gnocchi and ossobucco is so authentic and delicious“
“THIS PLACE KIND OF LOOKS LIKE A LITTLE MOM AND POP SHOP; BUT THAT'S WHERE EVERYTHING TASTES BETTER THAN EXCELLENT; THAT'S WHEN IT FEEDS THE SOUL..I ALWAYS GET THE PIZZA DEALS [ 5 PIES FOR $45 ] AND THE FIRST BITE....... MMMM!!! I'M HUNGRY AGAIN JUST WRITING THIS...(PRICES ARE INCREDIBLY GOOD FOR THE AMOUNT OF FOOD YOU'RE GETTING)“
“I heard a lot about this pizza place so I decided to take the drive from Connecticut to taste it and let me tell you I wasn't disappointed the pizza here is amazing as well as the fries and the fried dough if you're ever in the area don't go to any other pizza place than this one“
“Amazing amazing Amazing!!! I don’t normally leave a review but it was too good to not share my experience. Made a business order it was quick efficient with no headaches.I informed them to write names on the order, came to pick it up, not only did they write it, they placed it in SEPARATE bags and no mistakes on the orders. My coworkers and boss were very happy and pleased. Amazing service and the food was phenomenal! Definitely will be ordering here more often.P.S. the owner she was very sweet and kind!“
“Classic Italian dishes fill the menu. They also have some dishes you'll only find here. Their daily specials are also very good. Staff is extremely friendly. Dinner at the bar is very popular. Gary is a great bartender. I recommend reservations, especially on weekend nights.They are open for lunch. Lunch is a great value.Highly recommend a visit.“
