I didn't get many photos because I ordered takeout, but I was really impressed with Luigi's…read more As soon as you walk in, the bar is to the right and the dining room is to the left. It immediately gave me that cozy, old school neighborhood Italian restaurant feel, almost like the set of Cheers. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and packed with people. I ordered the Short Rib Pappardelle and the Grilled Lamb Chops, and both were a 10/10. The pasta was rich and flavorful, and the lamb chops were cooked perfectly. Even my brother, who's a very picky eater, thoroughly enjoyed his meal. The food smelled so incredible on the drive home that I was honestly tempted to pull over and eat it in the car. For takeout, you exit the main entrance and walk around the corner to the back of the building, where they have a separate area serving pizza and other quick bites. When I arrived around 5:30 p.m., the restaurant was bustling, and the takeout counter was lined with orders waiting to be picked up. They also offer outdoor dining. While I was waiting, I noticed the portions being served to diners at the bar, and they definitely don't skimp. The servings are generous, which makes the value even better. It's easy to see why this place is such a neighborhood favorite. Great food, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be making the drive from Brooklyn again.

My family & I came for a dinner. Since restaurant week was still ongoing, we all decided to order…read morefrom the restaurant week menu. We were started with complimentary focaccia bread with pesto sauce for the table. Since we are a family of 4, we decided to share the appetizer fried calamari, arancini, eggplant polpette & beet salad to start. It was great to share & try a bit of everything. Everything was great. I personally ordered the short rib ragu pappardelle. The cheese on top was great. There was a good amount of meat inside. It tasted okay. Overall, this restaurant serves good food. The food came out in a timely manner. Only minor complaint was that the restaurant was quite loud. Since the space is small filled with so many tables, all we can hear was the chatter of people around us. Also since there were a constant flow of people, the servers were so busy walking around that we had to wait a few extra minutes to reach them.

Today at Umbertos was better than ever. Firstly I was able…read moreto have Antonio as my waiter again Antonio is a class act and has the perfect deminur for a waiter. He remembers people's orders and is flawless with his service skills. I've met Teresa today Umbertos daughter who is such an amazing person. Her warmth and Excellent vibes shine through. Her attentiveness as she talks to you like there's no one else in the room. I had my usual staple here. My delicious salad and the Homemade linguine and marina with tomatoes and garlic. I've never had a bad experience here and will continue to very supportive to this Umbertos.

It was very oily when re - air fried - $5 grandma slice - slice is very small and thin for price. Solid taste but not big enough to warrant $5. $4-$4.25 is better Underwhelmed with my 1st time at umbertos. Known for being the first ever grandma slice maker, I found the slice too thin for the price point. Overall, the prices are high for all the items. The taste was average as well. The plus was the dine in experience where you get a bread basket of French bread and garlic knots. I dont think I will be coming back unfortunately.

The vegetables were better. I had seafood lasagna another day. The sauce was orange, not pink as it indicated on the menu, and was too thick. The carrots could have been chopped finer and perhaps cooked longer, and the other vegetables could have been cooked longer as well. There could have been more lobster. The eggplant parmigiana was good, although a bit bland. The broccoli is done well. The red pepper flake flask was sticky. The tiramisu was fresh and good with ample cinnamon, a good difference from French desserts. The French tend to like cinnamon in their meat dishes.

And when it came, it was the wrong pizza. Asking for Water was like standing in line for free food, getting passed over several times. Everyone's pizza came out at different times and pies were getting cold. There was a portable heater at one end which didn't help keep us warm. The pizza crust tasted almost like frozen pizza. Fountain sodas were $3.31 with no refills. This a major disappointment. Btw, its brick oven pizza not wood fired like one of us thought and that's why we came. Plus the toppings were unevenly distributed. So some slices were missing some toppings.

All were consistent with crisp, taste and generous toppings. They loaded up so much on pepperoni. Yummm. This has become my go to pizza spot. The service was on point and they were very hospitable. I would say the only con would be the linens and vibe. It reminds me of a snowy cabin feel. Just different than what I'm use to for a pizza restaurant but that doesn't deter me from coming back again and again.

Even the bread and garlic knots they put down before dinner comes out are unbelievable . I've never had anything there that was less than spectacular. Super friendly staff that started to feel like friends of the family after a while. Great vibes. This is a neighborhood full of Italian food ranging from casual pizza joints to elaborate fine dining. To be honest I like them all but this one is hands down the best.

Toskana is really close by and after seeing Dave Portnoy's review, I decided to check it out…read more Plain slice: Really solid. Nice cheese pull, good balance of sauce, and probably my favorite of the bunch. It held up well, not floppy at all, with a slight crisp on the bottom. BIG FAN! Chicken broccoli: Just OK. I've had better. The chicken was slightly burnt, which was disappointing. Grandma spinach & artichoke: Pretty good overall. It's similar in style to Artichoke Basille's Pizza, but not as rich or creamy. Margherita: Underwhelming. Nothing really stood out and I've definitely had better elsewhere. That said, I'd still go back just for the plain slice. You really can't go wrong with it. It's a thumbs up for me!

My kids don't like basil, and the fact that they already know our order the second we call ("Margherita, no basil") says everything about their consistency and customer service. The pizza is always spot-on: crispy crust, great sauce, perfect cheese melt -- and they somehow get it right every single time. Plus, they're a lifesaver for those last-minute orders after kids' sports practices. Always open, always reliable, always delicious. What we love: * Perfect margherita pizza (custom order always remembered!) * Reliable for last-minute takeout * ‍‍ Super friendly staff who know their regulars * Consistent quality -- never misses Luigi's is everything you want in a neighborhood pizza spot -- friendly, dependable, and consistently great pizza. A Mineola favorite.
