“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.“
“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“
“Spuntino in St. James is a great place if you want quality Italian food and pizza. We usually order our pizza to go. We ask for our pie well done and it's always perfectly baked to our liking. Their Sicilian pizza is the best!When we eat on site, the food is always delicious and plentiful. To start off, we are given an amazing and warm bread basket. The family salad is not run of the mill; it's filled with all different fresh vegetables. The balsamic vinaigrette that it comes with is a perfect addition to the salad.The pasta dishes are always done to perfection and is enough for leftovers to take home. I definitely recommend Spuntino's for take out or to have a nice sit down meal.“
“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.“
“Fantastic meal tonight. We had several food allergies including gluten and dairy. They were amazing at making sure that we had several options to meet all of our dietary needs. The owner came out and explained the menu to us. They were unbelievably helpful and the food was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the gluten-free/dairy free pizza with dairy free/vegan cheese. Our server, Jenna was fantastic! Everything was wonderful.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free and dairy free“
“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.“
“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.“
“Joey Z's has some of the best breakfast around! I always enjoy coming here for consistently good food and quick service. I had the banana pancakes (which are my go-to) and my mom had the Eggs Benedict which came with potatoes. The staff and owner are so kind and make you want to keep coming back!“
“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.“
“Kayak or canoe up for a delicious slice ?! Totally a unique location and amazing family owned atmosphere.Awesome pizza and full menu of Italian favorites, they do complete family dinners to go that you can't make yourself for the price.Very friendly staff, just act like a local and enjoy the vibes, it's a laid back place don't come here with bratty kids or snooty attitudes.Amazing staff keep up the great work!Parking: Located in a residential neighborhood .“
“First time at Ciro's. Greeted immediately. We wanted a certain table so we waitied for them so set up. I think they were a little short on wait staff but there were plenty of buspeople so bread and OO came out fast. Took a little while for the drink order but once he took that the service was excellent. We had a full baked clams (yummy) and Rice balls (5 delicious Arancici in a little ricotta and red sauce, also delicious.) My entree was the pounded Veal Chop Voldestana and it was the size of Home Plate and outstanding. I recommend it. My wife had their signature Lobster Rav. Also top notch. All the food was hot and fresh. Overall and outstanding meal. Not cheap but they offer great value and quality.“
“The food was delicious, everyone was very happy with what they got. The service was outstanding, the waitress was super friendly and accommodating as well as very attentive. Once the restaurant was filled to capacity the noise level was a bit high but not unbearable. Will definitely visit Cafe Red again.“
“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!“
“I had dined at Stella Trattoria only once before, at Christmastime 2022. I can’t for the life of me figure out why I didn’t get back there sooner. This restaurant is spacious, well appointed, and comfortable. We were seated immediately upon arrival, & had drinks in less than 5 minutes. Our waitress, Julie, was the best. The food was nothing short of wonderful! It arrived at the table hot, in very generous portions, and was absolutely delicious! When I took out my “doggie bag” to enjoy a second dinner, I found Julie had marked all our containers making it easy to identify the contents, as well as making sure everything came home, sauce and all! Each one of our party of four thoroughly enjoyed their dinner. Stella Trattoria is FINE DINING.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“Furci's was never my favorite however I tried them again, it was awesome! Their specialty pies are so good with a thin crusty pie is my favorite. They do not disappoint, quality and with chef skills. So I would like to say - if you haven't been check them out.“
“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!“
“As always this place is tops. Best cocktails and the food is always spot on. Best meal for lunch or dinner, flounder oreganata. Staff is always friendly and we love coming here again and again. We always meet the nicest people at the bar as well“
“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.“
“Pasta Pasta is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. I was there on Saturday March 16th for an afternoon lunch around 3pm. We were greeted right away and seating just as quickly. Our waitress was attentive and friendly while Anthony also provided us with the lunch menus. We shared all of our food so we could enjoy the amazing CHOCOLATE BAG!!! The space is very cozy and enjoyable and the menu options are incredible! I recommend!“
“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“
“Best pizza place in town. I rave about this place to everyone I know! If you haven't tried it already the Thai chicken pizza is fantastic! Their service is also always great. There’s no better pizza place to go to besides this here :)“
“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.“
“Great food!!! Love the rustic ambiance. Perfect night out!Parking: The parking is a bit tight. They have two lots but they do not connect.Kid-friendliness: They were very accommodating and helped maneuver the stroller up and down the steps.“
“First time here so I didn't know what to expect but I was very happy that I chose to give this place a try. Service was excellent and the food was delicious and plentiful I will definitely be back in to try other items on the menu keep up the good work and chef never let the flame go out I could taste the passion in which you cook “
“I came back for some Pizza, and they did not disappoint. Staff was attentive and the Pizza was crispy, with a really good sauce. I liked looking at the wall of artist covers from some of the best bands, it's a great collection! I ended up taking some food home for my son, chicken Parmesan over ziti pasta. Again, the sauce was really good and the chicken was topped with homemade mozzarella cheese for a great meal. I'm definitely going back, so I can try a few more dinners.“
“This place was great! Had a party to attend there, the food came out family style, appetizers were crispy and fresh, Caesar Salad, Fried Calamari, Mozzarella sticks, baked clams, fried Zucchini. Then lunch choices, Shrimp Scampi, Eggplant Rollatini & Chicken Piccata. Everything brought out was so delicious and well done, the pasta was not overcooked, the sauce was savory. I would recommend this place to anyone who was looking for a delicious meal at reasonable price!“
“I took my wife here for our 21st anniversary today and had a late lunch/early dinner. I don't have enough nice things to say about our experience. The food was arguably the best we've had in a long time. I had Chicken Parm with Penne and she had Broiled Shrimp with Asparagus Ravioli. We also had the Calamari which was perfectly done and delicious. Our server was on point. We can't wait to go back.“
“Honestly wow! Not only is this place beautiful and clean, their food and service is simply top notch. Every single dish was delicious, I highly recommend the short rib agnolotti!! I've never had anything like it; the flavors and the melt in your mouth tender short ribs inside the pasta are to die for. 10/10 can't wait to be “
“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!“
“Love Virgola!!! Such a hidden gem in Patchogue, with its wonderful service, enticing Italian wine selection, diverse array of charcuterie boards, and delicious cold seafood options. This is Manhattan-style ambiance offering a wonderful escape from the loud bars of Main Street. You won't be disappointed.“
“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 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.“
“I came in a few weeks ago on a Saturday and couldn’t be happier with my experience! My server Debbie and Phillip were an absolute pleasure and guided me through the menu effortlessly and we’re always there checking on me. Let me tell you the Shrimp scampi was phenomenal and is a must try. I will be coming back but only when Debbie and Phil are there!!!“
“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.“
“Bella Maria is a family owned friendly place. Chef Roberto's menu is delicious. We have had celebration in the back and we stop by at.least once a week for lunch and dinner. During lent Bella Maria is the go-to place for Friday night meals.Parking: Their chocolate mousse cake is delicious. Home Made by chef Roberto. Try it, you won't regret it.“
“Usually come in to grab a slice before class and the food is always great. Yesterday came in to pick up a pie and cheesy garlic bread for my friend in the hospital with cancer. They gave me a discount on the order and it meant alot. Thank you guys. Awesome local business!“
“Absolutely amazing food! So fresh, everything is made to order, best eggplant parmesan I have ever had! My daughter had the Carrot Ginger Soup with Mascarpone & Amaretti Crumbles and that was incredible. Service was impeccable, would give it 10 stars if I could!“
