Great place to eat lobster, especially at early bird prices. I've been going here for decades and have never been disappointed. Wonderful salad and fresh baked bread enhance every meal. read more

I wish I could give it a better review. The salad was mediocre, mostly iceberg lettuce. Dressing came in small plastic containers . The dressing names were not identified. We had to guess. One of our guests didn't want salad and asked if he could substitute with soup. Not possible. Soup was cold and tasteless. Thin NE clam chowder. No clams. Forgot to serve the bread. 2lb lobster was good, seafood festival was good, scallops were not good. We will not be back read more

Very nice people. I did takeout. Very fast & good service. We had a wonderful meal. Thank you read more

Always pretty good food. The service depends on the ninth. Occasionally you can get a waitress who takes away a lot of the ambience. Also, when you look at the website and you see a special for the night and $54. And then they tell you it's 84. And sorry we've been meaning to update the website? I'm sorry, that does not fly. We're talking about a 3,5 dollar difference. But they still make a pretty good lobster on a regular basis read more

I have driven by this place for years and never tried them. Well I seen their ad in the paper and gave them a try and I'm glad I did. I ordered take out and it was ready when I got there. The 2lb lobster was broiled perfectly, tender moist and delicious. The porterhouse steak was cooked medium rare and was also perfectly cooked and to top it off both are specials and sold at a very reasonable price. I will definitely be going back to try something else on their menu. read more

Have been there several times specifically for lobster. Each time the lobster has been perfect. Sweet and delicious. Served with a salad and fries by always pleasant staff. Not to be missed is the complimentary loaf of hot bread and butter. Crispy crust on the outside and soft on the inside. Simply delicious. This restaurant is a treasure and I believe that whatever you choose to order will be delicious. read more

Haven't really heard of this spot.. Came here for dinner with some friends! Honestly nothing bad about it. The food was pretty good and the staff was friendly! Our waitress was very sweet and definitely made the experience even better! read more

Been going there the last 25 years Always fresh and cooked to perfection Love the atmosphere. Service is on spot

We went for a family occasion and were very disappointed, the restaurant was empty on a Friday evening and that should have been the sign. The food was not very good and the waitress was wearing ear buds. she seemed distracted when she dumped my meal on me. never going back!!!!! read more

If you want a delicious reasonably priced lobster or seafood meal, this is the place to go. The meals come with a large nice, fresh salad and a round hot loaf of the best bread ever! Not the fanciest place but decent. The only drawback to me is the various servers at times are rude, rushed and abrupt. But the lobsters and large seafood dishes easily make up for that! read more

Great people. Kathy and her granddaughter waited on us. They were very friendly, professional and made us feel at home. I had the garlic ribeye. It was wonderful. The rainbow cake disappeared in ten seconds. Yum. My mom and 13 year old son loved everything as well. I highly recommend that you visit this family run restaurant. There are not many like this left on Long Island. read more

Alletto's Restaurant - Lobster special - New American Near Me - Lindenhurst, New York

The food is consistently delicious. Joe and Cathy are a great team. My wife and I have been enjoying Alletto's for over 25 years! My personal favorites are the porterhouse steak in the house marinade and the veal chop. My wife loves the Brazilian lobster tails. Recently we had the seafood feast for 2,it was very tasty read more

We've been living in the area for a few years, and have passed it many times. Tonight we decided to try it and we were NOT disappointed. The food was delicious, the portions were generous , and the service was great. The atmosphere had a vintage feel along with a great music play list. We loved it. We will definitely be coming back soon. read more

Save your money! This place is disgusting! Cold food, dried lobster, bad service, dirty place! Unfriendly waitress! read more

I thought it was a seafood place all the years I've driven by because of the lobster outside. It's not ! They have Italian food. I gave it a try on a Friday night. I personally didn't love it enough to want to return anytime soon. My eggplant tasted like it was old and microwaved. The homemade salad dressing was good. read more

Sub par service and overpriced considering the horribly dates decor and dreary atmosphere. The service was so bad it was unbelievable. Here's the first piece of dialogue after waiting a long time to be acknowledged. Waitress: "Are you ready?", US: " ready for what? Waitress: "ready to order drinks"? Us: " ok, but can you tell us about the specials?" Waitress: "we have a lobster, sea bass, and a steak" Us: " how are they cooked? This is not how you wait on people. It got worse very quickly and we had to leave. Disgusting place. read more

When you enter very old people at the bar. You think the hostess is going to seat you but she just puts the menus on the table next to her then keeps looking at her phone. The bus boy took the menus then seated us. After we ordered the hostess/ waitress asked if we wanted to order a salad? Salad came with the dinner. We ordered Broiled lobsters and got steamed lobsters. They serve soft shell lobsters-they have less meat than the hard shell lobster. My wife said they smell like they were cooked in dirty water. She did not offer desert and they have great desserts so we paid and left read more

Went yesterday. Looking forward to getting their "famous" $24 two pound lobster. Got their at four. No sign of life. Called their number and was told by the person running it that she'd be a little late. Got in at about four twenty something. Asked about the special and was informed that it was no longer available at $24 but they had it for 33 dollars, 36 if I didn't pay cash. As for the meal itself. Salad kind of grossed my wife out as some of the lettuce was brown. I bit into my shrimp cocktail. and water spewed out while the shrimp itself was rubbery. My margarita was okay and my wife liked her black Russian. As for the entrees, my wife liked her chicken franchaise and my lobster was solid if not spectacular. Would I go back? Yeah if they had that lobster for 24 bucks! Otherwise I would probably not make a special trip from Ronkonkoma to Lindenhurst when I have other options at my disposal! read more

Food is amazing, Joe and Cathy are really nice people, my waitress was very polite, definitely going back

Came here for the second time after an awesome first experience a while back. My father introduced me to this restaurant and I will continue to bring more friends and family here to experience it as well. I can't say enough about this place. It feels like you're eating a home cooked meal at a family gathering. It just feels like home to me. Nice and quiet atmosphere, good portion sizes. Salad dressings were so good, the bread came out fresh and literally steaming. My husband ordered the duck with the raspberry sauce and he absolutely loved it and raved about it. I ordered the chicken francese which was incredible!! The food was sooooo good. Can't wait to try everything else next time. Then for desert we got cappuccino and some sort of peanut butter desert which was so delicious omg! The whole experience was just awesome from start to finish. Everyone working there was also just so friendly and accommodating. If you've never eaten here before, I would definitely recommend it. :) read more

We passed this restaurant many times always saying we have to try that place. We went last night and was pleasantly surprised. The servers were very nice giving us plenty of time to look ant the menu. My wife had the roast duck which was good, very few places offer duck on the menu so she was happy. I had the broiled seafood combo and it was very good. I have read some negative reviews of this restaurant and do not understand were these people were really eating because this is definitely a place I would return to. I gave 4 stars because this was our first visit, but won't be our last. Went back tonight for the second. What a difference from the first time. Total 360. The waitress tonight was very unaccommodating and almost felt like she didn't want to be there. I can honestly say the food isn't bad but probably would not go back for a very long time if at all. The other waitress is extremely pleasant and accommodating. read more

Amazing seafood and such great service. The waitress KATHY goes ABOVE&BEYOND for your all of ur needs... my family has been coming here for years and it never disappoints! read more

I had been here numerous times over the years and had always enjoyed the food. I went back with my then date about a year or so ago and was raving about how much I liked this place. She was really looking forward to it. On arrival we made it clear to the waitress that my date was a vegetarian and doesn't want any meatballs with her macaroni, touching it, near it etc. They brought out our dishes and lo and behold, two giant meatballs on the top of her spaghetti. I asked very politely if we could please get another plate of macaroni because she was a vegetarian and the meatballs were on it. The woman brought it back with an attitude, then came back in about 3 seconds. We noticed two huge dents in the top of the macaroni where the meatballs were. I asked the woman if she just removed the meatballs to which she exclaimed, yes. I said I'm sorry but since it was mixed in with the meat my date won't eat it. Can we please have another plate of macaroni, all the while I was still being very polite. I see no need to be rude to anyone waiting on me etc.. The woman threw her arms in the air, and started saying it hardly touched it and gave us a very very big attitude. She then went and got a whole new plate and came back about 5 mins later or so and tried to make up for it by being very polite. The damage was already done. The staff had always been OK otherwise, but the food isn't very memorable and that one waitress just left a bad taste in our mouths. I'd rather go to Villa Gaia on Welwood, or Bellissimo in Amityville. read more

The bread was excellent, the best we've gotten since we moved here 18 months ago. I thought their 2 lb. lobster was going to be good, but it wasn't sweet like a Maine lobster should be, in fact it had a funny aftertaste. The service was very good but they were only serving 4 tables. The restaurant is very dated, it is in dire need of new tables, chairs, cutlery, & bathrooms. They used paper table cloths instead of linens. All in all, I would not go back. read more

Somebody said lobster and somebody else said Aletto's. We tried it. Baked clams appetizer, we requested chopped they were good. I got the special, 2 LB lobster, very good! Wife got the shrimp scampi, and she loved it. Fresh hunk of bread with salad included. Twice baked potato came with mine but I was lobster lazer focused! Thank you for the recommendation, have not been here to Alleto's in 20 years since we moved from the neighborhood. Still the same only better. Although the music is dated the place was spotless clean and service was impecible. read more

Very old and musty place. Popular with the senior crowd. We waited over an hour for our food only to be told at the one hour mark that they couldn't make one of our dishes. I had the lobster which I found to be overcooked. My wife felt sick after she ate her food. The staff looked like they were in misery working there. They were nice enough but with the place not even half full it took way too long to take the order, bring the bread and serve the food. Pass on this one. read more

Delicious food Loved the 2 lb lobster delicious succulent and flavorful Got to meet Joe who is the owner and his recipe was great Was so full ,didnt even have room for dessert read more

What a shame this place is! They got very greedy during the pandemic: took advantage of their take out customers, we ordered 3-4 lobster dinners at a time, received one bread, one wilted salad, soft mushy potatoes aka fries, and lobsters were NOT two pounds each. And cash only. You can complain but you will never get an apology or remorse. Horrible customer service. They just don't care. Kathy is nasty. Orders are always missing something. Stay away from this disaster. read more

Horrible ! We went to celebrate a birthday of a friend the only thing that had any flavor was the salad dressing. I had the scallops and Sauté broccoli and baked potato had no flavor how can your ruin a baked potato? Scallops were small but bigger than bay scallops Spouse had penne all's vodka which was no better than jar sauce. My child had fettuccine Alfredo- she had to add so much cheese and said it was hard and crunchy on the ends She also had Zucchini fries which she said were good The whole front end bar area needs a complete overhaul stains on the ceiling, rugs and a small couch cushion is peeling Service The website said they open at 2 pm but when called they said 3 pm However they let us come in at 230. The waiter was very nice and the kitchen was quick with our food. As we were the only customers. Sadly when we left they place what no other customers were coming in I know the place has been around for almost 50 years and has some wonderful reviews. This was our 2nd time (we went with friends) I personally will never go back read more

i loved the food here!!!! Had a 3 pound lobster and my husband had a porter steak and it was absolutely delicious. People should be in line to get in in this place!!!! The place a little outdated but who cares when you are served such delicious food and large portions. The waitress was absolutely helpful and tried her best to make us feel confortable. We are planing to go back there tonight for Valentines Day and we hope to enjoy it as much as the last time. The food is gourmet and they make you feel you are five stars!!! I welcome everybody to try it just once and you will be coming back for more like we do!!! If you decide to come tonight to celebrate you will be making the best decision!!!! Great job guys! read more

First time here. My two friends took me here since they eat here yearly. Of course we had the 2 lbs lobster dinner. It was huge and the meat from the tale and claws was delicious. Asked where the lobster was from, he said Maine. The price was 31.99 which included family style salad, fresh baked bread, veg or twice baked potato. read more

My lobster was shell was so hard I needed a hammer to break the claws . That baby was brimming with lobster meat and the hardest "hard shell" lobster I ever had . Just had to memtion that after seeing that other review . Thanks again . read more

There is nothing appealing when you walk in . Dim, dingy, old , musty overall gross. Against my better judgment we sat down and ordered. After 45 minutes our food still didn't arrive. My husband asked when it would be done and we were told that the veal chop took a very long time and would be out in about 8 minutes. We asked for a check and left as we were done waiting. Veal and 2 fish orders should not take 55 minutes. Run away fast ! read more

A classic feel when you walk in. It feels like home. It feels like part of my child hood. Alletto's serves a nice variety on their menu. We were seated promptly and our server was attentive. I usually try a different dish when we go and I have not been disappointed. Between penne ala vodka, salmon, steak or chicken dish I have been satisfied. It's nice seeing a restaurant that's been around so long still remain open. Look forward to to our next trip in. read more

If you get there before 6:00, you can get awesome 2+ lb. lobsters below market price. The lobster, however you order it, is prepared immaculately and will leave you with that delicious, buttery, full feeling you only get from really fabulous lobster. Two days later, you'll still be wondering why you ever eat anything else. The Pinot Grigio is very versatile and goes well with everything I've ever eaten there (which is only lobster and side dishes, ha). Now here's the things that are weird about this place. Everyone is in proper dinner dress and it's crack-your-own-shell style eating. The bathroom is a bit dingy. There are tons of elderly people everywhere looking like they might literally shuffle off this mortal coil at any moment (except when they're digging into their lobsters, which they do with all the dexterity of a teenager). Seriously, sometimes ambulances show up to cart people off. I guess this isn't so weird given that this is a place where all of the best eating has to be done before 7. read more

A family member suggested we go out to Alletto's for dinner on New Year's Eve. I think they may have been joking, but we went anyway. First impressions upon entering the restaurant: where is the waitstaff. You immediately walk into the bar and there is no one there to greet you. We shuffled around the bar patrons to find the waitstaff standing around the hostess stand. They asked if we had a reservation, which we did not. The restaurant was completely empty in the front dining room aside from one table of elderly folks. So we were seated directly next to that table, who were loud and repeatedly sent food back/asked it to be taken off the check. That should have been our first sign to get out. This is an old person's restaurant. The decor doesn't look to have been changed in 40 years. It has a "nautical" theme, with portraits of old sailors and plastic plates with nautical rope lining the edge. Yes, plastic plates. Aside from a couple with a child that came in half way through our meal, we were the youngest people in there. I was disappointed in the menu options as well. Nothing really sounded that appetizing as I'm not a huge seafood eater. No crab at all, there was veal marsala but not chicken marsala, etc. You could have steak, seafood or something with pasta sauce. We had at least 3 different waiters/waitresses attend to us. We received our drinks promptly, but no one ever asked if we would like more wine. A few minutes later someone filled up our glasses. Another waitress brought out a small bowl of salad for the two of us to share. Minimal effort looks like it was put into preparing it, with wilted tomato slices, a few cucumbers, and garbanzo beans? The salad dressing was delicious so I covered the salad in that. A young teenager who I assume was a busboy or maybe a waiter brought us a loaf of bread, but he more or less dropped it onto the table and butter didn't arrive for the bride until 2-3 minutes later. I never want to be told "here's some bread" when eating out at a nice restaurant. We ordered the fried calamari rings for an appetizer. The table was set for 4 people, but the awkward positioning of the table and center piece (salt shakers, sugar packets, fake flowers in a vase that were dirty with the stains of old pasta sauce) took up so much room that they placed the appetizer on the opposite side of the table from us. Someone new came to take our salad dishes. The calamari was better than I expected, but not as good of quality as other restaurants in the area. It was probably frozen and not freshly made, but maybe that's for the better. We had a small amount of our appetizer leftover and the young teenage waiter asked if we would like that wrapped, which I did. He then put it in a to go container in a plastic bag and sat it on the edge of the table. Our main courses had not even arrived yet. We went along with it. I ordered the garlic rib steak and my boyfriend had the T-Bone (Misspelled on the menu as "T-Boone"). Mine arrived with a coating of garlic on the top side of the steak and was cooked to order. I'm not sure how you achieve such a flavorless steak, but mine should have been marinated in something before being prepared. I'll chalk it up to it probably being a cheap quality steak. It was certainly edible, not too greasy. I just felt that for the value I could have prepared a better steak at home. My boyfriend's t-bone had been marinated in a sweet sauce which I enjoyed. I was very disappointed at no choice of sides and my meal arrived with a very sad, bland and under cooked baked potato and a small spoonful of over cooked green beans. A few were done, most were not. The young waiter then wrapped my steak in tin foil and put it in a doggie bag. Glad it didn't leak all over me because the foil wasn't completely closed. The whole atmosphere of the restaurant just felt weird. It seemed like the kind of place you'd see on Kitchen Nightmares. I didn't feel the quality was on par with the pricing, the wait staff was unprofessional, though friendly for the most part. I almost feel bad writing a negative review because most of the people working there seemed to be nice, but the restaurant as a whole was laughably bad. We had a good time laughing about the whole ordeal later and it will certainly make for a good story for years to come, but I will never eat there again. read more
