I have dined at The Patio for several years now and not once has this place let me down. The specials are constantly updated with something new and exciting, the food is always off the charts and the service is always lights out. Thank you so much for everything Bert!
One of my go to restaurants. The Patio NEVER disappoints and this time was great. Small group of three and we were all more than pleased with our dinners. Just an aside, order the zucchini chips (I order without the lemon chip). They are crazy good.
We've eaten here many times and it was always so good. Tonight was not. We had an 8:00 reservation, but added 2 more people, so the restaurant pushed our reservation to 8:15. When we all (6 of us) got there, I informed the hostess that we were at the bar having a drink. At 8:30, when we were seated, the hostess was very rude—she said that our table had been ready, and that the kitchen was closing in 15 minutes, so we better know what we want to eat very soon. Sorry—this is unacceptable. Period. Nevermind that they were out of tuna. I ordered the special—veal chop—which was a lump of fat on a bone. Our friend ordered the butternut squash soup, which she couldn't even eat. Sorry—this was the worst.
Patio is a great spot. Good food, welcoming environment and relaxed atmosphere. Every time we go, I wonder why we don't go more often. Homemade pastas were delicious. We had the special veal ravioli and the pappardelle with lamb ragu.

Great diversified menu with salad options, homemade pastas, steak, seafood...,something for everyone and all well prepared. Service is friendly and professional. It's become our neighborhood go to place.

Not sure what happened last night. We have had such amazing dinners here since the restaurant reopened. Service was great but the meal was fair, there were no tablecloths on the tables which was odd. Overall not a good meal, It was just a bummer.

This is a great neighborhood spot. They have made some changes to the menu (no more Cacio Pepe) and wasn't crazy about Cabernet by the glass. Otherwise, special Chicken Milanese was excellent! Service is always great!

The Patio is a true gem! It combines fine dining cuisine with the warmth and comfort of a local neighborhood spot.Every dish is thoughtfully crafted, flavorful, and made with fresh well-sourced ingredients, and the staff is always professional and friendly. The chef and manager Pietro Bottero is dedicated and passionate and it shows throughout the excellent dining experience.We started with perfect raw clams and oysters paired with ice-cold martinis. A standout was the tuna sashimi with a yakitori sauce, perhaps the best I’ve ever had. We split the fresh mushroom ravioli which has an amazing rich cream sauce-truly wowed by this one! The braised short ribs were the grand finale, moist and tender. I wish I took photos, but was too busy enjoying my experience at The Patio!

Great food and service. Will be back. Scallops were very good.
Food solid but didn't leave an impression that makes me want to return next week. Waitress sweet but young. Too many tables. 1/4 meals had no sausage and forgot to being coffee/ cappuccino with the dessert.

Our family was in town for a wedding. This restaurant was where we went the night before the event. Everyone loved what they ordered. My husband and I had the ducklings- wonderful! Service and atmosphere were outstanding. If I lived on Long Island I would definitely frequent this restaurant.
My husband and I sat at the bar. We loved the atmosphere and our bartender/servers Delon and Fran were excellent. They really made our experience terrific. The drinks were well crafted and the food was very good. We had the baked clams, the shrimp pasta and the filet mignon. I would say it it was excellent, except that I ordered the filet medium and it was well done. I will say that despite that, the flavor was still great. We highly recommend this restaurant.

What a great find! The four of us (two local) had an absolutely wonderful meal. The night's special was a grilled veal chop served on mashed potatoes, excellent! The broccoli and broccoli rabe perfectly seasoned and cooked; baked clams perfect; pumpkin ravioli delicious. Service (Julia) attentive and fun. The bar would be a perfect place for one or two for drinks and/or dinner

Our food was very good. Our server was responsive and respectful and efficient when we were able to get her attention. The person clearing and cleaning was spraying disinfectant heavily all around us. Felt like it was getting in our food and we experienced a strong smell of cleaning product. Perhaps spraying it on the rag and then wiping down the table would have been more considerate.
