    Cafe Gio West Babylon, NY @cafegio_restaurant Cafe Gio in West Babylon has been a staple in the community since 1994, serving up some amazing Italian dishes. Great pizza and food is the reason why it's been able to survive over 30 years! We absolutely loved everything we got here and the service was incredible. This is a great spot for date night, a meal with the whole family, or a quick lunch bite. Come check them out! Follow us on Instagram @drinklongislandny for full video review and many more spots!

    The food is tasty, and portions are large enough. Classic Italian plates and plethora of pizzas upfront. Prices would be more palatable if they were a dollar or so less. Dinner entrees come with a large salad and one basket of garlic knots for the table. Menu is large. The waitress was a bit pushy in getting our orders before we had even decided what we wanted, and it made us feel rushed and not relaxed. And when we wanted her we couldn't find her!

    100% probably the best pizza I've tried in Long Island so far. Really beautiful inside also. They had such creative slices, like a clam pizza and one with calamari. I can't wait to go back and try more. Glad i was driving on the service road and came across this place. Definitely put this on your must try pizza spots!

    Baked Ziti delicious .

    Love this place. Came here on a lunch date and have been obsessed ever since. The baked ziti is just how I like it. A flavorful sauce and a healthy portion . These garlic knots are sooooo delicious ! The dressing on the side salad is amazing. Jill is such a fantastic person. I won't even call her a waitress . She makes it seem like you've been friends for years. This is just an overall great place. Good vibes. Good ppl. Good food.

    Avocado chicken salad

    I stopped by Cafe Gio the other night and immediately realized it's been way too long! Sal was as hospitable as ever and my favorite waitress Shannon took great care of us as she always does! She keeps it real and is an absolute hoot. Sal absolutely crushed it as usual. I started with a rice ball (stuffed with bolognese meat sauce) and it was out of this world. I also tried one of his famous garlic knots with chicken parm stuffed inside.. wow.. incredible. Already feeling like I was on the brink of being stuffed and needing a nap, I ordered an avocado chicken salad and took half of it to go. It consisted of mixed greens, tossed with fresh avocado, grilled chicken, walnuts, dried cranberries & mandarin oranges. Their sesame dressing on the side really brought all the different flavors and textures together nicely. Sal - you the man!

    Grabbed a slice of pizza here for the first time. What a beautiful pizzeria slash restaurant. And since a nice selection of pizza. I don't know the name of the slice I got but it had penne and breaded chicken cutlets cut up on top. It was delicious! I will be back!

    Baked Clams

    Walking into this pizzeria/restaurant, there was a great aroma of garlic in the air. The display window had beautiful looking pies but we were there for pasta night. It was quiet when we arrived and our waitress was a really nice young lady. I looked over the menu before we even got there and am happy to say that I would eat EVERY dish there. Fresh, hot, soft, pillowy garlic knots came out first. If their food is anything as good as their garlic knots, then we're in for a treat. I asked for baked clams which had nice toasty breadcrumbs on top and yummy whole clams. I ordered the rigatoni Ala gio, their signature dish with Italian sausage, broccoli rabe and sun dried tomatoes. My husband had the Belezza, fresh tomatoes, basil, marinara, fresh mozzarella in a pink cream sauce. He enjoyed it. We will be returning.

    If I can give this place 0 stars, I would! First of all the staff is rude which is insane since our…read moreorder was almost $100. I also noticed at the restaurant that the guy making the pizza was touching money but never washed his hands. Then he proceeded to go back to playing with the dough! Anyway, we get home to find a piece of plastic and a hair in our pizza. When we called, the person on the phone acted shocked. This isn't the first incident we've had but we gave this place another shot since the pizza was somewhat decent. If my child would have gotten that plastic, we would've had bigger problems. I would never return or recommend anyone go here. Unsanitary practices in the front of the store, so I can't imagine what goes on in the back.

We had a party of 4 and arrived at about 3pm, we didn't realize that the dining room didn't open till 4pm but they let us sit down in the dining room and we had to order from the counter which was no big deal. They did have a young lady in the dining room but she said she was not a waitress, this is just my opinion but they should let her wait on tables when something like this comes up so she can get the experience to become a waitress. Food was delicious, we all had different chicken dishes and all of us loved what we had. Prices were very fair. Definitely will be going back soon. They also do a pasta night and a chicken night the was very reasonable.

I haven't been here in a while, the owner it seems invested some money to transform the dining room to have multiple parties.

The lunch menu was nice with a choice of Chicken Parmesan, Veal Marsala or Sole Oreganto. I went with the veal! First, shareable starters came to the table. Roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella on top of tomatoes and rolled salami. So so good, I'd be happy with this and the bruschetta that was served. The veal came out and the sauce was very flavorful. Nice Marsala with quality mushrooms. Mmm mm! The surprise for us was the dessert trays. Various Italian cookies (I think I took all the pignoli cookies!) it was a nice ending to our meal. There are lots of places to choose when you have large family gathering, Goccia D'oro was a great choice, every dish was delicious and plentiful. Hey, we're Italian! We want good food when we meet for a few hours

    Love Italian food. Love this restaurant…read more We went out for an evening dinner and one of us being in the mood for Italian, we gave this place a shout. Excellent call. It's a white tablecloth restaurant that serves some of the best Italian food I've had. And I've had a lot. The dinner starts with some terrific rolls and oil. Had to ask for some ground pepper and cheese, which they quickly oblige. The arugula salad may be the best arugula salad I have ever had. Large, fresh, the roasted portobello mushrooms and roasted peppers were outstanding, the goat cheese and balsamic dressing were just perfect. I had the eggplant Parmesan. I may have had better, but this one is right up there. The portion size was large, the sauce was outstanding, and I chose the angel hair pasta as my side, and that too was terrific. Exquisite evening definitely would go back there again.

    So, I'm Italian and when I was a child my family always ordered from Iavarone Brothers Deli when we…read morehad a party. It was always amazing and a crowd pleaser and know as premium catering. So, I was excited to see this legendary brand open an Italian a restaurant. These are my thoughts........ When you walk in you're greeted by impeccably dressed and friendly staff and a beautify thought out restaurant. Check! First, I ordered the calamari with a side of both marinara and fra diavalo sauce. This was where my expectations started slipping. The breading was absolutely bland and added nothing special. The plain marinara you could get from a jar sauce. The fra diavalo sauce was pretty much the marinara with Tabasco stirred in to it. It's not that any of it was horrible, it was just boring. Then what was ordered for dinner was a plate of Penne ala Vodka and a Pizza Margherita. They both had nothing exceptional about them and truthfully were bland and unremarkable. This is a place that you bring people who don't know anything about good Italians food and just want basic flavor. Truthfully, the corner pizzeria has better flavor. I wouldn't drive just to go there again. Come on guys, step up your game!
