Really good will executed Pizza as well as their Italian Classics. Service was quick, efficient and friendly prices are reasonable and now I see why this place has been around forever! I don't leave good reviews often because at the end of the day, the expectation is to get good service and good food. Growing up in the Bronx, we are used to great city Pizza so it's hard to come close but this place definitely gets 4+ stars from me. read more

Started with appetizer tower with mozzarella stick, fried zucchini and rice balls which were amazing. Penne alla Vodka was good with a large portion and Chicken with eggplant and mozzarella was a large portion with enough to take home. Staff were friendly and ambiance was what you expect from an Italian restaurant. I would visit again. read more

My sister in law suggested this great website called Goldbelly. I looked at it and thought well this is pricey. She told me to try the pizza from NY even though they come in a pack of 3 or 4--I can't recall as I ate them all but one. Still unsure, I called the place. It is Borrelli's in New York, and I spoke to them. I asked all about this order place and the manager got on the phone. He was so nice and told me that Goldbelly is the way to go and they don't ship thought anyone else. He also explained that it will be just the same as if I walked in if made according to their clear directions that come in the box. It is all flash frozen the minute it cools and then shipped. Well, he was right. This is the best NY pizza I have ever had and I love NY and go there often. Just follow the directions to the letter, it is easy. They are not huge pizzas, they serve 1 or 2. I looked up this place and it sure looks cute and just an adorable pizza place. I will go there soon. read more

Now, we did not go to NY to get Pizza. We had it delivered flash frozen from this great website called, Goldbelly. Look them up, they have the best food and all delivered to your door, flash frozen and great. I have seen photos of Borrelli's and it is cute and looks so comfortable. I think they might even have a counter. As to the pizza, we ordered 4 to be delivered to LA. You have to order 4 and it is pricy, but spend a little more and free shipping you will get. Our pizzas came when promised, all still packed in ice and all sealed when fresh. You just heat them up, follow the directions exactly. This is the best NY pizza we have ever had and we have been to NY, but we did not know about this place. The crust is perfect, thin with such flavor. The sauce and cheese combination they use is the best. We are in heaven and have ordered more. They can stay in the frig up to 3 days and in the freezer no longer than 3 months. I wish I had some now. So perfect. read more

Heard so much about this restaurant and was excited to go there. We were very disappointed. Calamari was not fresh, was chewy and tasted fishy. Italian wedding soup had a funny after taste and seemed to be canned soup with spice added to it. Chicken parm was bland. I so wanted this place to be good but no. The only thing good was the wait staff. Very friendly read more

Huge disappointment! I only ordered the calamari because I had amazing calamari at Borelli's Taproom in Long Beach and mistakenly thought they were the same. They're so far from being the same. I can't speak of the rest of their food but the calamari is borderline burnt and soooo chewy. For $20 it's absolutely not worth it. read more

Well established Italian restaurant. Always good food. Been here forever. I recommend !

I came here hungry and left nostalgic for prison food. The marinara was mystery--like someone melted down ketchup and whispered "Napoli" over it for authenticity. My pasta arrived glued together in a large tragic brick, absolutely no signs of any spices whatsoever so ever, which is honestly impressive from a technical standpoint. The veal francese had the texture of a damp uncooked sponge, The gelatinous blob pulled like rubber and the breading slid off in one sheet, like it was trying to escape accountability. Service was slow in the way that makes you wonder if the waiter is also the chef, the dishwasher, and possibly the owner's emotional-support animal. If you're looking for "old-world charm," this place has it--specifically the part of the old world where food safety laws didn't exist. read more

Yuck It had its day A long time ago. In the 80s, it was great, now the food is below average. Sad that a nice restaurant has gone south in time. read more

WoW! I cant believe I havent written a review for Borrellis yet!!! This place is awesome!!!! The food is outrageously delicious!! The service is always top notch. Its a welcoming restaurant that we have visited many times. We have also has private parties here. The food is so good. Today i ate eggplant parm and i upgraded the sauce on my side of pasta to meat sauce. Their meat sauce is AWESOME!!! The eggplant was cooled perfectly and smothered with gooey cheese. The garlic bread might seem like its ordinary but it is not. It is made somehow that it tastes better than any other garlic bread ivve ever had! Highly HIGHLY RECOMMEND BORRELLIS!!! read more

This is a true "East Meadow Staple" - Walking into this place, feels like you took a step back in time. Your back in the late 1980's - early 1990's - that's how you feel. Very home town feel. Service is always on point. You won't get any attitude from the wait staff. I can't explain it, but - Borrelli's Pizza is consistantly delicious and crisy. I've never ventured over to the Bar Area, but - its typically filled with East Meadow Townies. Great Vibe - Borrelli's has continued to evolve with the changing community. They will continue to live on! read more

Ordered take out multiple times: Ambiance is nice! Very relaxed and laid back. Sicilian regular pizza is great!! Basically a regular pie with a deep dish crust! 5 out of 5 stars Meatballs: excellent! 5 out of 5 Wedding soup: great flavor with small mini meatballs!! My favorite! 5 out of 5 Regular pie: okay, but nothing too great 4 out of 5 stars Calamari: would never order again, very fishy smell and only rings. Tried one and couldn't eat the rest. 2 out of 5 Pasta fagoli soup: pretty good, basically lentils, pasta and carrots in a thick chicken based broth. I was surprised it didn't have any tomato sauce in it. 4 out of 5 stars Garlic bread with mozzarella: very tasty! 4.5 out of 5 read more

OK, so the food here is not five star food, but I'm giving the place Five stars anyway because it's just awesome! Oooold school classic long island Long Island italian restaurant with SOLID restaurant style pizza (which is a great change from all the traditional thin. Crust New York style pizza. That's everywhere on Long Island.) and italian food. And to be honest that's about all there is to say about this place lol Recommend; chefs special salad, pizza (get toppings cause the crust holds up firmly against it), spicy marina sauce. read more

Staff refuses to make pizza the way you order; takes pleasure in making it their way.

This is my all time favorite place to get pizza. When you walk in the smell of food hits you and it just gets better from there. The food and service here are amazing read more

A classic Italian restaurant that's a staple to Long Island! The staff is always very friendly. The food is always delicious. You can never go wrong with their lunch specials! Their chicken Marsala is my favorite. read more

The pizza is delicious! I ordered a personal size with sausage and a cannoli to go. My friend got a cheese pizza and a cannoli to go as well. We both enjoyed our food. Service was slow but it was a late lunch (2pm) on a Tuesday so not sure if that was a regular dining experience. Inside was a classic Italian restaurant feel with tables and booth seating. Price-point is $48.23 for two personal pies and two cannoli's. read more

Best pizza around for me. Crispy and not oily at all. Whenever I am around I go grab a pie. Dinning is also pretty good.

Where can I begin pasta way overcooked who makes linguine with white clam sauce and doesn't bother to put garlic in it these guys do. They screwed up a chicken Parm soggy chicken cutlet canned sauce that was overly sweet and again like 15 minute pasta, mush, and they have the goal to charge 3 1/2% for taking a debit card. Never getting my business again I'd rather go to Olive Garden. read more

My first review and couldn't not post due to nostalgia and my positive experience. I've been eating here since the 80's before Islander games, concerts, any big event on Long Island, this was the spot, especially back then! Recently stopped in while visiting my daughter at Hofstra and somehow this place hasn't changed a bit in all the right ways. The food is still exactly the how I remember it. The pizza, I'd put it up against anyone's on Long Island. One thing that has changed since the 80's is the cute waiter my daughter and her friends were practically drooling over. Not sure if he is single, but they are convinced they may have found Long Islands cutest thing LOL. He was attentive, funny and clearly on top of all his tables. One of the waitresses was incredibly sweet as well. Borrelli's keeps that old school, townie feel and genuinely warm, family like service. Still a long island staple and looking forward to my next time there. read more

Second time trying them. Tomato Sauce was weird tasting on all dishes. Mini meatball app was acidic sauce and soggy frozen meatballs. The shrimp parm had tiny small shrimp butterflied and drowned in sauce n cheese to give it the impression of being larger. Sauce on shrimp was ok the sauce on side pasta tasted chemical and acidic. My wife's veal parm hero was sent out on stale cold untoasted bread that became soggy when drowned in sauce n cheese All together it was sad. I'm Italian and felt ashamed of the food served here being represented as Italian. Gives my food my nonnas and cultures food a bad name when serving this so called Italian to someone. read more

Great food . Service was a little slow but we were not in a rush . Classic restaurant that has been around since the 50s

I went to a birthday party here last night in the spacious party room inside the restaurant. The food was delish and the service was friendly and good. I tried and loved all of the: Caesar salad, meatballs, penne with meat sauce and Chicken Francese. Soooo good! read more

Don't know what the hype is about, possibly because of the location to the Colosseum..... when there were games back then I guess it was busy, now it looks unappealing and always looks closed .... Yeah, no, next !!! read more

I've been to Borrelli's a few times. When I wasn't vegan it was awesome they make nice cappuccinos and I stopped in to get two when I was on my way to a former FWB's place. Recently I came with my AA sponsor and had the gluten free pizza with veggies and sauce. It was okay but not as yummy as a pizza with vegan cheese would have been. I'm coming back here on February 13 I believe, I'm going to try to the gluten free pasta with oil and veggies and if it's better I'll update my review accordingly. read more

I absolutely have to write a review for Borrelli's after they hosted my son's 2nd birthday on 3/29. We got a few tables in the back room for our family. I had hoped to have it sectioned off, but it was okay, and also still very festive with another small birthday party nearby. Everything was delicious! We would have loved the stuffed mushrooms but they were unfortunately out of them- we got the rice balls instead and they were great. My son's favorite food is pizza which is why I picked Borrelli's to begin with because I saw the mini pizzas on the menu. He ate at least 4 slices and kept asking for more so I'd say he thought they were a hit! The main reason I wanted to write this review was to emphasize the service. Our server was calm, attentive, and accommodating. Big thank you to Amanda for being so wonderful. All in all, thank you Borrelli's!! We had a great time and look forward to coming back. read more

I went there for a late lunch. We're a party or two.. Everything was good however, my friend with me she ordered a lasagna which was flat as a pancake. Man, I'm not from Oklahoma. I know what it's supposed to look like. I've been there many times and I'm a local from East meadow it's supposed to be like a piece of cake, a lasagna thick, nice slice. When I brought this to the waitress's attention at the end of the mail the waitress attention she said yes with a smile. I don't know. Was it me? Do I look like a farmer? With a what blade of grass in my mouth and a straw hat & coveralls. Normally I send something like that back. I don't want to start nothing on a first date. All right. It means only one thing. They boiled a noodle they put some sauce in. They took another noodle and put some meat. It wasn't a real Italian lasagna but an Oklahoman lasagna. read more

Food was not good and neither was the service. If you're not a regular they really don't care about you. Went with friends and one of them wrote a note so good review and the owner became argumentative with them. That's tacky read more

Have been here many times in the past including some Girl Scouts events. Food is delicious, staff are friendly and ambiance is homey!

The service at Borrelli's provided by Amanda was so top notch. We came in with a large crowd of approx 30 adults and kids in between baseball games at a tournament next door. Amanda patiently took our orders and the kitchen prepared the meals quickly. We were happy with everything! Highly recommend Borrelli's and hope you get Amanda as your server! read more

Went here a few months ago after a more than 20-year Gap Meal service and price was great Nice little place which is much larger than it appears in the outside read more

The service was great, the food was reasonably priced and the portion sizes were large!!!!

Saturday night , 6:45 PM The restaurant was mostly empty Busmen and servers standing around idle We sat down and ordered a few appetizers. Mushrooms and Calamari among others. All items were relatively flavorless with the exception of salt . I learned today that a premium Italian wine Could taste like battery acid , bitter and undrinkable . Our server seemed uninterested in our dining pleasure and couldn't leave the table fast enough after bringing our food plates. I can't recommend this establishment Dine at your own risk. read more

I have been to Borrellis a handful of times & it's pretty good. They are very generous with their portions which is always a plus. Their marinara sauce is ok but the vodka sauce is really where it's at. The starter bread is very fresh and soft. The waitresses are always friendly and witty. They also serve gelato in the front which I am always too full to try but maybe one day. The place is also pretty big, they have a party room in the back. read more

Well Franky, coming all the from Boston for Bruins game decided to give it a shot. I compare it to the Chateau back home. Nothing fancy, average meals. Chicken Parm itself and portions was good. Pizza was average and chicken francase was bland. Chopped salad was not mixed greens but instead iceberg. Italian sub was made with garlic bread while the menu said for garlic bread it would be an up charge. Didn't care for it, all in all it was average read more
