“First time here. Great atmosphere, the place looks great. The service was on point. We shared the excellent meatballs and lasagna as an appetizer. The only critisizm an its nit picky is the pasta in the lasagna was a bit over cooked. It was still delicious. The pizza who's name I regretfully forget (rectangular crust, fresh mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, basil) was excellent, particularly the crust. We will return!“
“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!“
“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?!!!“
“Nice place with great staff and owners. Had a 60th Birthday party/ get together for a friend. Had the Chopped Salad, Lamb Chops, Shrimp, linguini with Clam sauce and pork chops.Everything was great. I wish they wouldn't use center cut chops because they tend to be dry, but that's personal preference. All in all good night with a very attentive staff.Always the best. Great dinner and show on 3/21. Got to see Judy Torres perform.Parking: Parking is available, but you need to know where to look.“
“We just had my daughter baby shower and it was just perfect! The service (especially Erica) went above and beyond for each and every one of us. We didn't have to pack up the gifts, they did it for us and bought them to the car when we were ready to go. Made sure we were at ease and just enjoyed the party. The food, drinks and cake were all delicious. They made sure if someone had a food allergy they received their own special dish. I would highly recommend them.“
“What a fantastic place! Sal and his family did an awesome job making us Heroes. Fantastic pizza! perfect crust, great sauce, beautiful toppings. we drove all the way from Northern Virginia to take advantage of this authentic Pizzeria. go there, no matter what. it'll make your day.“
“As always, an enjoyable meal in a classic Trattoria setting with excellent food, excellent service, and a truly amazing value for my money.Homemade everything from the Pizza oven feet away from my table to savory dishes sautéed to perfection to the dessert items that end your experience on a sweet note.Thanks to La Strada for giving my family their restaurant family's distinctive touch.“
“This place is amazing! Unassuming, cozy, casual "neighborhood" feel with the best brick oven pizza cooked to perfection. Warm arugula salad is on point and generous enough for two to share. Bar is well stocked with nice selection of wines to compliment their menu.“
“I would not recommend La Bottega Merrick. I am very disappointed in the customer service. I placed a panini box order for a small party. I then went into the Merrick store to personally go over the order. I requested two paninis to be wrapped separately. One was a gluten free panini and the other was an Erika panini for my grandson. My husband picked the order up but when we opened the order, the Erika panini was not there. We called immediately and they said someone would bring it right away. There was no apology and we waited over an hour for it to be delivered. Mistakes do happen but how a business handles their mistake is very telling about how much their customers matter. The message was clear that customer service is not a priority. Additionally, the grilled chicken in the paninis was very tough and chewy. We order often from the East Meadow restaurant but they are closed on Sundays so we decided to order from the Merrick location. We have never had a problem at the East Meadow location but will not order from La Bottega Merrick again.“
“I ordered 2 boxes for $14 for a midnight snack. I get to the store, the clerk quickly brushed me off with only 1 box. I showed them my order they insisted what i ordered. I ended up paying $14 dollars for 3 slices of old pizza. 1 plain, 1 pasta and 1 chicken. this is a terrible deal! They listed original value of $36. you are telling me that one slice is $12. update in comments with resolution.“
“Met a friend of mine at this restaurant for dinner. We were both very pleased with our experience. The staff was so friendly and accommodating, and efficient. Great selection on the menu. We both ordered the salmon which was delicious. Absolutely a place that we will frequent again. Overall friendly and comfortable atmosphere.“
