My husband and I have been trying to go out to dinner for the longest, and finally, we got the opportunity. We chose to go to Lombardi's because it was local and the menu was extensive.This is like a hidden gem in the middle of Long Island. When we got there, we could see other patrons were enjoying themselves. Thankfully it was an older crowd, and we fit right in. No loud drunks, no loud music - the music was perfect for the atmosphere - think Frank Sinatra and the like. This place has a cozy and upscale vibe, with friendly and helpful staff. I would call it a very traditional Italian Restaurant.Let's talk about the food!We were offered a selection of plain or garlic bread. We got the garlic bread and WHOAH. SO SO good I had to control myself because I didn't want to fill up on bread before the food came. I would go back just for that bread lol.The salads that come with dinner are generous and have a nice variety of greens in them. The dressing is chef's kiss! DELISH! They are not small portions either.For dinner my husband got a pasta dish that he devoured and barely spoke because he was so into his food. This is a rare thing my husband is picky about food. I did snag some broccoli rabe off of his plate and I can say now that I want to go back and order what he had next time!I ordered something that actually wasn't on the menu, and before I even finished asking if they could make it, the lovely waitress was like "he can do it" I was astonished because in many places the chef will be a jerk about special requests and some flat out refuse.IT WAS THE BEST CHICKEN PICCATA I HAVE EVER HAD, I was so happy. The portion was huge, the flavor knocked my socks off. This is my all-time favorite dish and I order it everywhere. Lombardi's definitely made it the best.Lastly they have AMAZING coffee lol. The kind of coffee that has a quality taste to it, I suspect it might have been a 100% arabica blend. I drank it black and it was smooth with no bitterness.My hubs had a cannoli that was the size of a house, but I skipped desert because I was too full.There is a 100% chance we will be going back there very often in the future considering we live locally.

We had our company Christmas dinner party at Lombardis of Middle Island and I can say that we were all 100++ % satisfied with our experience at this restaurant! Victor the owner gave us an amazing sit down dinner package that included a pasta start then salad then multiple dinner choices for our guests to choose from. Everything we all had was amazingly delicious including the bread on the table!! Then dessert.........stuff your own cannolis and Italian cookies!!! To say we all felt completely satisfied and stuffed is an understatement!!! Messages of enjoyment from our employees was the icing on the cake!!! The entire staff was super friendly and truly enhanced our entire dining experience!!! Special thanks to our head waiter Carmelo and to all the wonderful bartenders and girls that assisted him throughout the party!! We will be back!!!! All Wright Electric Rich and Tricia Wright

We had a delish dinner with great friends last week. The portions are large and the quality of the food was very good. It's a great spot for date night or dinner with friends.
Great local Italian Food. It is a few blocks away from our home and the food ambiance and service always top shelf. Love the food there. Recommended

Ordered food from here on Mother's Day, and I can only say one thing!!! AMAZING!!!!!!! The food was soooooo good. The price for 4 people to eat and have leftovers was $80.00, only 20 bucks a person. The Penne Ala Vodka Sauce was perfect, Chicken Parm fresh and cooked to perfection. Thank you for making my wife a happy Mom on Mother's Day. We WILL BE BACK.

First and last time for this one. Food was ok. Nothing to brag about. Not bad. Place was old and musty. The older white haired man manager with glasses was not very nice. We had 3 families that met there and we wanted to pay for our own people. They refused to split the bill. They gave us a menu with the check and said to figure it out ourselves. Which was difficult with a handwritten receipt that was sloppy. We couldnt make out the handwriting. The lights were too dim. It was just not a pleasurable experience. We were a large group and it wasn't crowded when we were there. You would think they would b glad we came in. The bathroom was gross and filthy. So overall I gave 2 stars because the food wasnt terrible.

Lombardi's offers a wide variety of dining options. We started off with the stuffed mushrooms, calamari and mini meatballs. They were all good choices. The house salad is also very tasty. I had the 3 Musketeers, which was delicious and the serving size was quite large. Our servers were extremely friendly and attentive. Give Lombardi's a shot, you will not be disappointed

Cozy atmosphere, good service. Food was very good except mine was too salty. I love salt but even this was too much for me. My martini was delicious and so was the chocolate mousse. So overall very good. Just easy on the salt!
