“As always I give this restaurant 5 stars. Met friends for dinner on Sunday night. The service is exceptional. All of us had something different and we all enjoyed our food. My friend did a price fixed with filet of sole and said it was delicious. The brussel sprouts appetizer was excellent. We also started with fried calamari, though small portion, was good. I had a hamburger which was huge with the onions and musrooms. The burger was cooked to perfection. The other two in our party also finished their food. It was very quiet so we were able to communicate easily with our friends.“

“I had my son's wedding rehearsal dinner at Zona last night. I was originally booked to have the party on Saturday, but the bride came down with the flu. Gianna was so helpful and accommodating. She was able to change the date for me without hesitation. The day of the affair, the staff was so helpful in getting the room set up for us. Our waitress, Jodi, was absolutely incredible. She made sure that our guests had a fresh drink before they even realized their drink was empty. The food was delicious and plentiful. But most of all, the service that Jodi provided to us was outstanding. I would book another event at Zona without hesitation.“

“Just like the golf course this venue is one of the best hidden gems on Long Island! Beautiful room. Great staff. Amazing food. What more could you ask for?“

“First time good food nice staff“

“My La Parma salad was swimming in dressing ...dressing is not supposed to be on the bottom of your dish like a pool. Chicken piccata was white ...needed to be browned in the frying pan and WHY does your food have a thick glue of sauce on it ...STOP with the flour it's really quite gross..why not olive oil , butter , wine and lemon ...please learn how to cook these simple dishes . And your mussels in white wine ???? WTF...why is the sauce white ? Cream? Flour? Again learn ..mussels with white wine , garlic , even broth can be added ..sauce should not have cream in it ...the other la Parma makes it perfect ...maybe give them a call . Horrible !“

“Ate here for the first time this past Friday 12/6. Walked in and loved the decoration of the interior of the restaurant. We ordered the Crostini for an appetizer, and I got the Mezzelune Al Tartufo and my Fiancee got Strozzapreti Gratinati for our main dishes. For Dessert we got the Apple cake. Our waiter recommended the Apple cinnamon old fashioned. Everything was phenomenal. I can’t wait to go back. They should promote that there is parking in the back so people don’t drive by if their isn’t parking in the front.“

“EVERYTHING !! Best Italian food on Long Island“

“Good food , drink and service.“

“Amazing food and a very attentive staff. Truly a great dining experience.“

“I finally went after hearing about the great food in a Huntington-centric FB group, and the hype is real! So, so good! Definitely worth me taking a different way home from work so I could pass by. Oh!! And for the introverted people like myself, as of either yesterday or today, they can be found on GrubHub!! Great news for those of us who don’t like being on the phone :)“

“Amazing food, engaging owner the specials were off the hook. Everything we ate was delicious everyone at my table loved what they got, and I couldn’t give this place a higher rating!“

“They say authentic Italian Americans don't enjoy the Olive Garden. They are terribly mistaken. The salad is of course legendary, complete with just spicy enough pepperoncini. The meatballs are not as good as my grandmother's (that is an insurmountable aspiration anyway) but excellent. The wine list was excellent as well, with the usual more pedestrian selection of Cabernet, Merlot and Pinot Noir. We chose the Chianti, delicious. Our chicken dish was not only delicious but great for low-carb keto dieters. The staff at this location was beyond nice with the manager coming around to check on each and every table and the place was fairly crowded.“

“We had an amazing chicken cutlets sandwich w/mozzarella and tomatos thinly sliced on a hero and the bread was fresh and crunchy on the outside.... we also had a mozzarellas/red peppers/black olives salad.... delicious and the Coffee was so tasty!!!! Both me and my g/f always use sugar in our coffee , but here we didn’t even need it!!!! It was delicious!!!! The crew are so nice!!!! I recommend this place !!!! You could take out or eat in . They have a few tables that you can sit down at... it’s really cute!!!!! Enjoy!!!!!!“

“Had a lovely dinner for my friend's bday. Tues-Thursday they offer a 3 course price fixed menu & additions to their regular menu for this week. We were very happy with our choice of cocktails off their Spring menu (Strawberry Lemon Drop & Lavender Dream). We both ordered of the 3 course menu which included an app, entree, dessert & a glass of wine for $49. We each started with a Caesar salad. My friend had the pappardelle Bolognese & I had the Pollo Brasato (chicken, spicy sausage). Both were delicious! In fact my friend ate the whole thing which she never does. Dessert was Gelato & tiramisu with our glass of wine. 🙂“

“Went on a Tuesday night had delicious soup, spaghetti and clams glass of wine and an extra glass of wine because the dessert ran out. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone well worth going there sitting outside. What a great atmosphere can’t wait to go back.“

“My wife and I recently hosted a baby shower for our daughter. To say the party was excellent wouldn’t be accurate. It was more than excellent. The food, the service, the staff could not have been better. All of the 55 guests raved about every aspect of the gathering. Many of these guests had never been to Bacaro before but now said they would definitely be coming back. If I had to come up with one negative… I couldn’t. Thanks for making a special day everything we could have hoped for.“

“Excelente restaurante, la comida exquisita y muy buen servicio. Lo recomiendo 100%“

“good food and good service i like this place alot“

“After spending an enjoyable Sunday afternoon at the Argyle Theater, we decided to try Restaurante Gemilli and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, Gusippe our server was friendly and attentive, the restaurant is immaculately maintained. We started with the hot antipasto, for the entrees we had fresh ravioli in a light tomato sauce and linguine with shimp, clams, calamari and mussels. We finished with a fresh made pastry topped with apple and carmel sauce and a large scoop of vanilla ice cream, and a couple of Cappuccino's. The restaurant has a large parking lot so there is no worry about parking or having to walk any great distance. This restaurant definitely exceeded our expectations.“
