    Perfection from start to finish. The entire staff treats you like family! Jose is an excellent host. It's an amazing place to celebrate a special occasion! Run, don't walk, to Brunello Italian Kitchen!

    My pasta. A little overcooked
    Allison F.

    Someone was wanting good Italian food so on a recommendation we went to Brunello Italian Kitchen. We had reservations and when we got there, the restaurant was not crowded and we were seated right away. The dining room was very nice , cozy but not small. We sat at a booth which could comfortably fit 6 people. The staff was not overly friendly or welcoming, but pleasant enough. We ordered drinks first and for appetizers we had the calamari which was very good. The portion was on the small size but the calamari was tender and the breading was nice and crunchy. I would definitely order it again. The other appetizer was a pretzel with a bunch of deliciousness on top. Cheese, artichokes, tomato, peppers and some different kinds of meats. It was giant! 4 of us probably ate around 1/2. I've never seen that anywhere else, I'm all for something unique. There was also the bread and the salad! At that point I was full. I didn't need anything else but we had already ordered our main courses. I had the Orecchiette with broccoli rabe minus the sausage. It was ok, the broccoli rabe lacked that bitter bite that I liked and it needed cheese and pepper but the cheese on the table wasn't great, I think i was looking for some freshly grated cheese and pepper but that did not appear. At the end of the dinner, we were offered a free after dinner drink that was made with peach schnapps, something sparkling and something else. It was very refreshing and nice of them to give us that little treat. By the time we left the dining room was nearly full. The food was good and the atmosphere was nice, there was nothing that I could say was amazing so I'm not sure I would come back unless the people I was with insisted but if you are looking for decent Italian food, definitely give it a try and order the calamari for sure!

    Chicken and Crabmeat Oreganata

    My family took me here for my birthday over the weekend. They'd been here before and raved about it so they insisted on coming here, and I was NOT disappointed! It's a small restaurant so be sure to make a reservation, or be prepared to wait/get shut out. Nothing too spectacular about the inside but it's nice and clean, so no complaints. Our server was amazing, offering up advice on what to order and also providing some friendly conversation. Now to the food... it's delicious. Absolutely delicious. The pretzel antipasto is like a combination of a charcuterie board and a giant pretzel, and the flavors are perfect together. The calamari is as crispy as you would hope for it to be. And for the entrees, I ordered the Chicken and Crabmeat Oreganata which was very flavorful. Not as much crabmeat as I would've liked, but still enough that it complemented the chicken nicely. Plus you get a full-sized salad with (before) your entree which is a value that you can't beat.

    The food/pasta taste very homemade and fresh salads. Big portions. Cannot finish my meal. The atmosphere is mom and pops with many locals who look like they've dined there forever and they appear like they are familiar with their neighbors. Love the service. Very warm touch to this restaurant and a close sense of community. I like the entire dining experience and was very happy. Authentic Italian dinner!

    So good

    If you haven't been to Mama's Brick Oven Pizzeria & Restaurant at 30 Deer Shore Square in North…read moreBabylon, you're missing out on one of the South Shore's finest Italian dining experiences. Whether you're popping in for a quick slice or settling in for a full sit-down dinner, Mama's consistently delivers -- and then some. Let's start with the basics: the grandma pizza is exceptional. Thick, pillowy, perfectly crisped on the bottom with a rich, flavorful sauce -- it's everything a grandma pie should be. But don't stop there. The chicken parm hero is, without exaggeration, one of the best you'll find on Long Island. Generous, satisfying, and packed with flavor, it's the kind of sandwich that makes you close your eyes on the first bite. For those seeking something more elevated, the chicken francese is a standout -- light, lemony, and beautifully balanced. And the Bolognese sauce is a slow-simmered masterpiece, rich and deeply savory, the kind that makes you want to mop the plate clean with a piece of bread. What truly sets Mama's apart, though, is the people. Manager Nicole runs the front of house with warmth and genuine care, making every guest feel like a regular from the moment they walk in. Server Carol is an absolute delight -- attentive, friendly, and the kind of server who makes the whole experience feel effortless and personal. Mama's is the rare restaurant that works for every occasion. Date night, birthday celebration, graduation dinner, anniversary -- or just a Tuesday when you need a great slice. The atmosphere is welcoming, the food is consistently outstanding, and the staff makes you want to come back. Simply put: Mama's is a neighborhood treasure.

Beyond the pizza, they have a surprisingly cute, comfortable dining area where you can sit down and enjoy a full menu of Italian dishes or try a few different specialty slices. Highly recommend making a stop here if you're in the area--I'll definitely be back to try more!

    The last time I visited Cafe Dolce Vita was probably in 2007 before I left for college and…read moresubsequently moved to Boston. I'm not sure what ever became of the old owner and his wife, but they owned and ran Cafe Dolce Vita for decades - I recall when it was located in the plaza next door at 1966 Deer Park Avenue, and we used to go there when I was a student at DPHS. Let me tell you; I still think of their chicken marsala pizza, or their pinwheels. I knew pizza didn't have to be just plain cheese or pepperoni, but that a pizza could have chicken marsala on it was life-changing for me. If a pizza could have chicken marsala on it, why, it could have just about anything on it. I don't know if I'll ever get back to Deer Park someday, or if Cafe Dolce Vita will still be there when I do, but if it is I will absolutely be stopping in. All these haters don't know the half of Cafe Dolce Vita's story and status as one of the grand dames of pizza joints in Deer Park and the fact that some of these newer places crowding the town weren't even a glimmer in their owner's eye when Cafe Dolce Vita was already the older, established joint in town. So what if the old owner was a bit gruff. He made pizza so good I still remember it nearly twenty years later. And it looks like the place is still going strong. Don't let the flame die out! The pizza here is a treasure of the town, and stands on its own merits.
