“Our first time here and what a great experience! I love the coziness of the restaurant. Everyone is very friendly and attentive. Menu has so much to choose from! It was very hard to decide. I went with the Shrimp and Risotto and it was delicious! My husband had the chicken scarpiarello and he said it was awesome! Our Martinis were perfect and the apple tart and ice cream was divine! I look forward to going back!“
“A lot of fake reviews so here’s a real one.This is a unique slice, it’s very saucy. Never seen so much sauce on a slice, amazing to dip there god-tier garlic knots in.2 slices, a knot, and a soda for 10$ is amazing value too.Pizza isn’t cooked properly every time so it can be soggy. But this spot NAILS garlic knots. This is the best knot on the island.Pizza could be a 5/5 or a 3/5 depending on your pie - there isn’t consistency“
“The food was absolutely amazing and the service was great. Menu has a wonderful variety of food at a great price point. Very happy with my experience here and will be revisiting again soon.Parking: You can park on the street on behind the main street strip they have free parking lots that can get full quite quickWheelchair accessibility: Leveled floor“
“This is THE best Italian restaurant on LI and easily one of my top 5 restaurants overall. I always bring my out of town guests here and I have hosted several large gatherings here for 15-25 people over the years. The food and service are always exceptional. Chef Marco puts his all into his dishes.“
“Had a beautiful table by the window. Cali and Drew did a beautiful job. Food was delicious. It was a perfect Easter dinner. Food, drinks and dessert was delicious.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes I would say this is a wheelchair accessible. Double doors,ground level. There was a couple of people in wheelchairs when I was there.“
“We enjoyed a wonderful dinner last night at Piccolo Mondo. (We hadn’t been there in 10 years!) We were a party of six and everyone was very happy with what they ordered. The jumbo shrimp risotto was out of this world!! Thank you for a lovely evening.“
“Came here based on a recommendation. I am not a wing person so I had a meatball hero and a Caesar salad. Both were fresh and delicious. The staff were all friendly and helpful and I got my food within a few minutes. There are very few seats inside so getting your food to go is probably a better option. There are plenty of food choices in this immediate area but KC's is definitely worth a visit.Parking: Parking is not a problem here.“
“This place is like the Authentic Freshly Made Vegetarian Italian Food Restaurant with Amazing service, it’s like ticking off your bucket list to eat this kind of Delicious Vegetarian Italian Food. We Linguine Primavera with Arrabbiata Sauce, specially made vegetarian for us and Burrata Salad with grilled Vegetables also made vegetarian just for us. These two were made to order and were not on the menu. So whenever you visit you must ask for vegetarian options and the servers will not only recommend you the best but also have it made to your taste.“
“A hidden gem in an unlikely spot. The atmosphere was relaxing and calming. Not what I was expecting to see from the outside but once you enter you're transported to a new world. The staff was very friendly and our waitress was so kind. She was attentive, kind, and made sure we were taken care of..... But the food......" amazing". Very flavorful and mouth watering. Meatballs were a hit and the desserts are a must at the end. The drinks were made perfectly. You will be spending a little more than usual but it is so worth it.“
“ALWAYS TOP NOTCH. We went on a Friday night. We didn't know it was that last of resturaunt week. We usually try to avoid resturaunt week. We ordered the special of the day. Mahi mahi with muscles and calamari over linguine. OMG soooooooo good. Always greT food personable staff and super nice owner.“
“Ordered one of their Super Bowl packages and was absolutely blown away by not only the amount of food, but the taste. My husband said that the costumer service was amazing while picking up- on one of the most busiest days. I can't say enough great things about this restaurant!“
“We are from the port jefferson area, this place is well woth the trip. The word AMAZING is probably the best word to describe. Jose was so welcomeing, atmosphere was warm, no blue, white light bulbs, VERY clean. Everything was delish and plenty of it. Large menue, suggest you look on line before you go. Looking forward to going back.⁰Parking: Valet“
“We’ve ordered through uber eats twice and have been so happy every time! The margarita pizza and the vodka pie are both great.I was prompted to review with 5 stars because i ordered a ginger ale, and they didnt have any. Not only did they read the order instructions and replace it with a sprite, they also left an apology note on my drink! They not only have stellar food, but they clearly have great people working for them too.“
“This is the 2nd time I've visited MaBella, and it was another delightful experience! The chicken franchise was delicious, as was the warm bread. The service is impeccable, the water glasses are quickly refilled, and the servers are friendly and attentive without being overbearing. We split dessert, and the NY Cheesecake was wonderful, as was the Affogato! We'll be back!“
“only complaint was how busy it was and I can totally understand why. everything was amazing steaks and italian food alike. I'm super picky about my food and I was shocked how great everything was. I live an hour away and am already planning my next visit back. my new favorite restaurant. highly recommend“
“Best Pizza I have had since moving back to Long Island from Florida. The reg pizza was baked to perfection and the specialty slice I had was just as good. I found my new Pizza spot, I have to try every variety of slices they stock. Thanks for a great experience“
“Recently visited with friends for lunch. Table service was excellent with server explaining the specials along with recommendations on the basic menu items. Dining area was clean and overall ambiance simple but appealing. Ordered the chicken roll which they specifically cooked for me and a vegetable which were cooked to perfection. Overall service was great. Server checked up on us multiple times and we felt right at home, not rushed at all. Restaurant located on the main road but entrance and parking are behind the strip center off Hawkins.“
“We had a very friendly waitress. She recommended the rice balls, and they were excellent. There was also a tv in the dining room and they changed it to the NASCAR race for me. The bread was nice and the garden salad was surprisingly tasty. Usually tomatoes are pale white and bland this time of year, but they had some nice ones in the salad. My entree was the Chicken Monachina. The portion size was very generous. Maybe a little more cheese than I would've liked. The chicken was of good quality and had no gristle. I will come again if I am in the area.“
“We have lived in Oakdale for 6+ years and have always complained that the only thing we didn't like was the lack of good pizza/italian takeout! We finally expanded our search a little bit and luckily found this place. I am really picky about the pizza - if you're going to splurge, it better be worth it! And this pizza is so worth it. Every topping you could want & all the basics were perfect.Everything was phenomenal, fresh, delivered really fast, priced great, and service was amazing (called to check on custom request via online app to make sure they understood 100% correctly - we all know this is not always the case!). Cannot recommend highly enough. Give them a try - you will be so happy.“
“This hidden gem looks like a hole in the wall do not be fooled the food is excellent. The staff amazing and fun and more importantly, the owner is always their! He also great his guests and knows all the regulars names he really cares about his guests. It is not fancy but homey, cozy and fun we love this place! The prices amazing!“
“Have been a regular at Branchinelli for years. Food is always great. Service is good. Even when there is a line to wait, you are called within a reasonable time. Would recommend to everyone. If it is just Pizza, full meal or catering, can't go wrong“
“I stopped in for a few slices after seeing my doctor, who is next door, and I am glad I did! The pizza not only looks delicious, it is insanely delicious! It's some of the best pizza I have had on Long Island! (and I have had a lot, haha). This place is under new ownership, and the owner is so nice you can tell he really cares about the customer experience and delivering amazing food and quality! Also, given what prices for slices lately have been, the fact that you get such large slices at such fair prices for such good pizza is really nice. I highly recommend this place for great slices, and I am sure the rest of the food is great, too. I will try it soon.“
“It's a great monthly date night choice for my wife and I. We both enjoy the food and they add new items occasionally so you can often try something new. Our bartender/server, Ally B., is the best! She treats us well and knows what beverages to serve without asking. The entire staff is always friendly. Its a busy location but I would highly recommend“
“Food was great. Our server was also really friendly and super patient with us. We were there with my friend’s toddler who was hangry. Also loved the affordable pricing and smaller portion sizes. For two adults and a toddler it was only $50 with appetizers. Overall, I’ll definitely be back.“
“Got there just as the sun was setting on Thursday evening with my son. The wait staff was accommodating, attentive, and pleasant. He had a slice, and I had a pasta dish. All was to our liking, I would go back.Kid-friendliness: There were other families there at that time.“
“This is my second review for Bivio. One of our favorite restaurants! Nice atmosphere and attentive staff! They always chill the wine glasses which makes for enjoyable glass of your favorite wine! My husband rarely orders off the menu since their specials always are so good. The menu offers a wide array of dishes. We always have a great meal while enjoying the live music!“
“I've lived in the area for years and never been inside this place until two weeks ago. The inside of the establishment has this classy old-school charm about it. It was a tiny bit confusing because they had the podium in the front by the door and the sign on it said to wait there I noticed everybody walked in anyway so I just went. Maybe they can hide that somewhere else until it's that time of the night or something? Anyway, one of my favorites slices is the grandma slice and I had to try theirs because it was suggested over and over to me by many people. So after finally trying one slice, I ended up buying a whole pie and taking it home. Yes, it's a tiny bit expensive in comparison to the other places locally but the quality of pie is worth the extra money. If you want to be taken back in time and enjoy a great slice then come here.“
“We stopped for lunch it a quaint shop at the end of the strip stores just east of Keith Lane. They have lots of pizza choices. We tried 5 slices. The zucchini onion was a large slice w good sauce and cheese. A good bite. The sausage and broccoli rabe could use more broccoli rabe but it was good square slice. The chicken piccata was great good flavored sauce and chicken cooked well. The Mac n cheese was good square slice w good flavors. The Chicken Alfredo had good sauce flavor but there was a burnt taste not sure if it's a smoky taste but wasn't my fav. We did love the Mac n cheese pinwheel but the start was the pepperoni pinwheel. I love that you can pick your own spices it's in the table. Also you can pick your own drink. Grateful that the work was receptive to the chicken Alfredo slice. You order and within mins foods out hot and flavorful. They're staff is hopping and they're deliver guys were running around a lot. Good Place will be back soon.“
“We are long time patrons of this restaurant. Owners and management has changed over the years but the staff has stayed and true to their craft. Tonight we had a party of 16 and were treated like family. Not one missed step even with another large party and and a full house.“
“So happy we found this place. Were always looking for great Pizza nice crust not too thick. So many different choices always ready & the specialty rolls, capellini cakes are so delish.. and everything is a fair price especially for the good quality you get.They give back alot to those whom may need help as well and that means something to have a business give back to the community. Were not even local but drive over every week for our take out & always pop in when we are passing through.Everyone's always friendly and counter help always knows whats out so they are helpful to suggest thigs to try..“
“It was 5:15 pm on a Saturday night, and it was freezing outside and very windy. Upon walking into Babylon Village, the cold winds hit my face as I was looking for a place to have dinner at. I then came across Bella Pazza. From the moment I walked into the store, I was greeted with a very warm welcome from the owner, Aldo. Aldo was very friendly and answered thoroughly any questions I had about the menu. Aldo treated me like family.I ordered the mini rice balls, sicilian style rice balls, mozzarella sticks, a garlic knot slice, and a cheese slice, and let me say, everything that I had ordered was amazing. The decor in the restaurant really enhanced the dining experience and led it to be the true and ideal Saturday Night Dining Experience.I strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for incredible Italian food and a breathtaking ambience for when it comes to dining. Excellent job Aldo & Bella Pazza!“
“This place has some of the best Italian food on LI. The portions can be big since it’s a family style/sharing restaurant. Take away or dine in, the food is always amazing and I can’t recommend this place enough. My favorite is the chicken parm. The staff is also really friendly and the service was great.“
“Do yourself a favor an order the egg plant parm roll. It's amazing and has become a new family favorite. We've ordered takeout from here a few times and the pizza is really good. However, I don't love the mushroom topping because the mushrooms taste like they're the mushrooms from a can (I'd prefer fresh, but that's just me). I'll continue to order from here.“
“Things you absolutely must order at Manninos: Bacon appetizer, penne supreme, and the blueberry turnover cake Overall my party had an excellent evening. Service was attentive, ambiance is upscale yet cozy, and the food was a nice mixture of classic dishes and new things to try. The only thing my party was not crazy about were the steak entrees, they were just fine - nothing to rave about. We're looking forward to trying out new dishes at our next reservation!“
“Mangia has been our family's "go to" Italian for 30+ years. The meat balls are the best and the eggplant rollatini is world renowned. We've had a few family celebrations there. Never disappointed. The owners are sweet as can be. The pizza is to die for. Classic New York neighborhood Italian .“
“We’ve eaten here many times and it’s always consistently delicious. The service is amazing. The drinks are exactly as ordered. My husband loves their eggplant Parmesan, which they make special for him. Old world Italian food and service.“
“We almost purchased a home in what was once a decayed and depressed Bay Shore in 1988. Wish we had because, like Patchogue, this sea side town is quite beautiful.

“On October 1, 2022, our daughter’s wedding celebration was held at Gemelli’s Bergen Point Country Club. We worked with Vincent who shared his knowledge and experience with us while offering his professional recommendations we made some changes, and the results were fantastic. He was able to agree and work with us on reasonable changes to incorporate our daughters’ requests. The package we took had more than enough food wine beer soft drinks and cocktails. The food was delicious, and we have received so many calls and messages letting us know. We had an indoor ceremony and from the start to the end everyone had a great time. The deco arrangements at Gemelli’s “The Party Fairies” are incredible in designing the theme. They created an arbor for the ceremony which was a perfect backdrop and then it was moved behind the bride and groom for the reception. Our daughter presented a theme with them, and they ran with the idea then suggesting centerpieces, to hanging lanterns, to table items it all came together, and the hall/room was beautiful. I strongly recommend Gemelli’s Bergen Point for a wedding, but they are very diversified from birthday parties to fund raisers they will not disappoint you.“
“We celebrated my wife’s 60th birthday at Manninos in Commack on 3/24/24. I booked the dinner, for 20 people, with Joe the manager, who delivered every request I made. The food, atmosphere, and drinks were outstanding. But, the Service you receive is what can make or break the evening.Our server was Francesca, along with a supporting staff of 3. Francesca was professional, pleasant and extremely efficient and attentive. No one had to wait for anything and I received numerous compliments on her impeccable service.The bar staff provided an array of many specialty drinks which were also made perfectly, as they always are. This is why we often choose Manninos in Commack for a great night out.Much thanks to Joe the owner, who is always a Gentleman.Thank you to Joe the Manager, Francesca, Nicole and the bar staff and all those who provided my wife with such a memorable birthday.If you haven’t been here, you are missing a great experience.“
“I’ve frequented Leonardo’s Pizza Cafe and it never disappoints. From the warm greeting by Leonardo himself to the expertly crafted dishes, it’s a gem. While the pizza is top-notch, don’t miss out on the eggplant and baked ziti. Every bite takes me back to my hometown of Campania. Truly a culinary haven.“
“Have order a few times.Everything has been great each time. Each and every time the pizza crust has been light and fluffy no matter what type of pie we had.Employees are very friendly.This time we had ordered a Chick-fil-A pie, cinnamon bites and zeppolis the other night. One of the best specialty pies we have had and will get this again soon.I would definitely recommend eating here and giving them a try. You will not be disappointed.“
“I catered my daughter shower yesterday, Sal was terrific! The food was even better! It was the best chicken franchise I’ve ever had, so tender you could cut it with a fork. The entire party raved about the food. From the hot food to the sandwiches to the ease of dealing with him. I give it a 10 out of 10! I can’t wait to try the restaurant. He came highly recommended and now I see why.Dietary restrictions: I ordered a few things without dairy, they tasted delicious and we’re very accommodated“
“OMG We were at my daughter's home in East Northport and i ordered a few pizzas from Milano for the first time and we are all in love!! Best pies that we have had on the island! Their pizza is not greasy or heavy and everything is very fresh. The chicken Marsala pie and the regular pie were tops - best I have had and we also ordered a tri-color pie to try and it was delicious!! We plan to dine in to try their entrées. If I could give 10 stars I would!“
“Steve's Piccolo Bussola III is a hidden gem. The food is absolutely delicious. The staff is extremely nice and very attentive. MY wife and i have gone many times over the years and we have never been disappointed. The Artichoke appetizer is a good choice to start. The restaurant is located in a smallstrip center. Parking can be challenging but there is more parking in the rear.“
“Nice little pizzeria with good pizza and garlic knots. My favorite slices they have is their Buffalo chicken. Actually spicy, no blue cheese or ranch. Just like it is supposed to be made. I can easily eat a pie of their Buffalo chicken by myself.“
“My daughter and I used to be regulars in this pizzeria. They offer a dish I have found nowhere else I've ever eaten. So I just so happen to look them up on here. All the food is great but the Chicken mona Lisa steals the show. My hours used to be crazy but the family would allow my daughter and I to dine while they were cleaning up and technically closed for the day. My daughter is now 24 and has a son of her own but we still reminisce about the good times in this establishment. The family atmosphere was as 2nd to none. To any of the family or staff that remember us we thank you for all the great food and the hospitality you have provided us a wonderful memory. Next time I'm in LI I'll be sure to stop in.“
“Pizza is not consistent but when it’s made properly it’s the best in Suffolk. But too many times have I gotten a pie for it to only be all cheese no sauce + floppy and undercooked.Garlic knots are horrible - don’t bother getting. Specialty slices are significantly better than their regular slice.“
“Hello my name is Santiago , this restaurant was very helpful and generous and very Knowledgeable on what they do and how they treat their customers it made me feel like I was at home and I will continue to keep bringing this business attributes and business so this Pizzeria will be great to experience will got positive atmosphere vibes so please stop at this local pizza place cause it’s more then a restaurant it’s a family oriented business ?“
“Cosy little place with the Italian vibe you'd expect from a charming Long Island Italian place. It's half traditional slices and half sit down Italian restaurant. The sit down food is great and the pizza is higher level. Not your average corner store.They have a wine selection worthy of this level of Italian cuisine.I always judge Italian restaurants by their eggplant dishes. This one passes the test.Servers are quick and courteous. They always have more people on staff then needed so there's never a wait. At least every time I've been there.I used to go when I grew up a few towns over and it doesn't seem to have changed.Their Sicilian is my go to when it comes to slices. I like their marinara sauce for dipping as well.Vegetarian options: Pizza and eggplant dishes.Parking: Always more then enough. The parking lot is huge.Kid-friendliness: Not kid oriented but definitely kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: It's ground level.“
“I have past this restaurant many times and finally made it for dinner. My wife and I Enjoyed everything we had. Grilled Octopus, Frutti de Mare garlic and oil the way I wanted it. Absolutely delicious. Thank you to the staff that were tentative and very accommodating. Can't wait to go back.“
