The parking situation was not too bad on early evening during the weekday, but I could totally see it get out of hand on the weekends, so plan accordingly. We were sat right away and the lovely server dropped a basket of bread while we peered through the menu. The free bread is quite good. We were all starving, so the cheesy chewy bread was great to munch on. I am also much more forgiving about a bit of wait for food if there is free bread being offered. It was also nice because we were seated right by the kitchen window, so it was like getting a dinner and a show. We got the Saporite, which reminded me of a Costco chicken bake with its creamy innards punctuated by grilled chicken. This is my brothers favorite, and I could see why. We also had the spaghetti seafood, which was so richly flavored with the seafood. I'm not sure I ever had Italian pasta so full of that umami seafood flavor. Truly wow. The ravioli verde was something we got to add something not-tomato based & it was an excellent choice. The sauce was verdant and creamy. The ravioli filling didn't feel like straight ricotta but I liked whatever they had done to it! The chicken parm was also a solid choice, good breading on hefty cutlets of chicken and a nice helping of charred cheese on top. We liked every single dish, and the portions were more than enough to feed all of us and leave leftover for the next day. I was especially touched by the professionalism of the young servers during what was becoming an increasingly crowded dinner service. We got extra bread, waters filled, and to go boxes promptly. The hype was surprisingly real. I guess I should not be surprised that a place that's been around since my childhood has withstood the test of time because it was good. Will revisit soon for lunch service.

Updated review long overdue…read more Last three times I visited... i had planned on updating this review; however, always forgot until now. Food 2/5 very overpriced for not so great quality. Portions are fairly still large if the food tastes bad... it takes a lot of effort in eating it. Service 2/5 workers are young i guess if that is a pro... but lacks common basics... too busy talking amongst each other and talking negatively about the job. Ambiance hasn't changed for years. They offer a cash discount. I am leaving this review for a self reminder tbh... everytime I visit i think to myself why did I do this to myself.

We went to this restaurant before a show at Westbury Music Fair. We made reservations for 9 of us…read moreand had to move the time up a little earlier since we wanted to be sure to get out in time for the show. When we called to change the time for our reservation, we were told it was no problem, and we could do whatever makes us happy; Just to come in and have a great time! When we got there we met Frank, who took care of us the entire night and also remembered speaking to us on the phone. He was so awesome and made us feel like we have been going there for years, when it was actually our first time! We told him we were going to a 7:00 show, and he not only got us out at the time we needed, but made us feel relaxed, never rushed and made sure we had an awesome experience, which we did! The food and service was exceptional! Everyone's entree was amazing! I can't say enough about how good this food was. I had the special which was sea bass, and it was so delicious and cooked perfectly. My husband had the chicken rollatini, also amazing! Everyone was so happy with their dishes, and loved everything they ordered. This place is so awesome that I wish it wasn't so far away from us. Frank told us they have music on Friday nights, and we are all going to go back at some point just for this restaurant. It is so worth the drive! The decor is also great, especially if you love Marylin Monroe, and the atmosphere is so relaxed you feel like you are eating in your own dining room at home! Thank you to Frank and the rest of the staff for a truly great dining experience! We will be back!

The grandma slice was thin, crisp, and had a great tomato flavor that didn't overpower the cheese. You could tell the sauce was made with care. The chicken Marsala slice was something different but in a good way. The chicken was tender, and the Marsala sauce gave it this rich, savory flavor you don't usually get on pizza. Crust on both slices was nice, holds up well without being too heavy. Customer service was amazing and they greeted me with care. Highly recommend.

The spinach pin was last one sitting, kinda waiting to be thrown out, I don't know why I ordered it, it was old and burnt, other then that would've been really good. Disappointed about it, $4. I am guessing it was around four dollars each, my bill was $24. They have sitting area in the back. I will definitely go back. If you're around this area pick up a slice or a pie I think you will enjoy it.

The Chicken Parm was very good - the meat, the sauce and the cheese. The Linguini was also very good although not cooked al dente. The Caesar Salad could have used a little more dressing but was also pretty good. The service was very attentive with water being refilled almost continuously and there was a nice fresh bread basket served as soon as we sat down. I would say that overall the meal was enjoyable and on par with Vincent's in terms of quality. However, the prices are higher ... and the portion sizes are smaller ... putting it a little lower on the value scale. The other thing is there is valet parking with a relatively small lot. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. But be prepared to spend a few more bucks.

We started with fresh baked bread and their signature ricotta-style bruschetta dip, which set the tone right away. The meats and cheeses were high quality and full of flavor. The tortellini in broth was especially comforting and perfect for the colder weather. For entrees, the veal was perfectly crispy and paired well with the mashed potatoes and spinach. The balanzoni stood out for its rich, flavorful sauce, and adding the lasagna was absolutely worth it -- layered, hearty, and extremely satisfying. Dessert was just as strong. The tartufo was rich without being overwhelming, the ice cream was smooth and refreshing, and the biscotti was hands down the best we've ever had. Ending with coffee tied the meal together nicely. Service throughout the evening was attentive, well paced, and knowledgeable about the course menu, which made the experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a classic Italian feel that made it easy to settle in and enjoy a full multi-course meal. Overall, this was a well executed dining experience with thoughtful courses, strong service, and a comfortable atmosphere.
