    This is truly one of my top 3 staples on Long Island. The staff is absolutely incredible. The place is beautifully decorated and always so clean. Chef Billy is truly SOOO talented, and always amazes me with his new dishes and specials he comes up with! My family and I will always be the usuals here. I've probably tried every dish on this menu! So enjoy the photos!! We love you CT!!

    Pork Chops

    Wow. Amazing service and food. Desserts were my favorite. I had the pork chop special and the pork chop was cooked medium and it was perfect! So juicy! The coconut creme brûlée is a must try. Enjoyed catching up with my friends here. Only issue I had was we all had trouble finding the location. Lights were too dim and hidden. But there was plenty of parking space. We can in 4 cars and 3 out of 4 drove right past the entrance.

    Pretty good! This place offers decent slight intimate dining, with great service and good. We had the baked clams which were absolutely delicious! One of our favorites to date.for entrees, we had their pizza and a pasta dish. Both of which were delicious. For desert, we had the napoleon which wasn't great. We definitely won't be getting that ago. Overall, it was a great and welcoming dining experience but it's the type of place you would seek out more if you were local to the venue. Will definitely return in the future.

    Another amazing meal at one of my favorite restaurants from my childhood. Cafe Testarossa is the absolute best for all your Italian food cravings. Chef Billy always serves up some delicious meals! I always order at least one pasta dish here! We started off with some cocktails/mocktails and some wine of course. My favorite appetizer was definitely the Pappardelle Bolognese and my favorite entree was the Pan Seared Scallop with Parsley Pesto Risotto! The Prime Cut Shell Steak was also incredible and cooked perfectly. You can never go wrong with any of the dishes here. If you haven't tried it, you definitely need to because you're missing out. For dessert I got the Banana Napoleon which was absolutely incredible. Thank you to Danielle for being the sweetest, and our server Giuseppe! Can't wait to be back for more! I'm obsessed with their pasta! Appetizers: - Pappardelle Bolognese - Two Way Tuna Tasting - Marinated Grilled Octopus Entrees: - Black Linguini w/ Chopped Shrimp and Calamari - Prime Cut Shell Steak - Pan Seared Scallop with Parsley Pesto Risotto Desserts: - Banana Napoleon - Tartufo - Flourless Chocolate Cake

    Café Testarossa is one of my favorite restaurants in Long Island! I've been trying to get a reservation from 5-7pm on a weekend night and it always seems like it's never gonna happen. I was able to get one for New Year's Eve for 5:30pm. My husband and I both ordered Figtinis for drinks and was surprised that it was pink but it turned out to be a light and fruity drink that we both liked. The calamari appetizer was cooked well and was still hot when it was brought out to our table. I had to ask for another serving of sauce because we didn't have enough for the order. The lamp chops were divine! I asked the waiter if he had a recommendation on how they should be cooked and he suggested medium rare. I liked that the entree also came with roasted potatoes and asparagus. The Frozen Nutella Cake was interesting. It has the texture of a mousse and was closer to an ice cream cake. It may not look very pretty but it tasted good. I wasn't a fan of the Cherry Vanilla ice cream so I would probably switch it out for Vanilla Bean next time.

    This place will take your appetite from 0 to 60 in 5.2 seconds!! The veal chop & the black ink seafood pasta are to die for!! Debbie took great care of us all night!!!

    Had dinner here Saturday night. This establishment is clean, orderly, nicely decorated and most of all exceeds the social distancing covid19 requirements. You will feel safe here enjoying a semi-private safe meal in a public establishment. Our experience here was a very enjoyable experience and very good meal. Service was very good to excellent Food was a 9 out of 10 I will return, i recommend Great apps, Sushi grade Tuna 2 ways Octopus (delicious) Mains: Perfect rack of lamb, did i say perfect? Grilled veal chop (top tier, perfectly cooked) If you have not been here, this place is a must! Extremely good for this Far out on Long Island Nice wine list and cocktail menu They could use some improvements on their deserts. We has Coconut Creme Brulee and Tiramisu. Both were good just not great. Maybe missing something to push it from an "ok" to a great. Place still gets a 5/5 as a premium restaurant.

    Will they make grilled chicken as an entree for dinner?

    Crusted Chicken I would go with

Greeted with a smile at the counter, they took my to-stay order & directed me to where the fresh beans were to purchase. Love that they give you a number for your table so that you don't have to stand & wait. They made two trips to me, bringing my drink when ready (A+) and then the food. Plenty of comfortable seating, although it might be difficult on the weekend as they seem to do a constant business. Ordered an iced Pistachio Latte with an extra shot, served just right (no over-the-top-sweetness that you get in other shops) with pistachios on top. The Mongo toast was excellent: toasted seven grain bread with peanut butter, bananas, delicious granola with a honey drizzle. Will be back

The next time I tried a mocha, and again, the chocolate flavor was barely there. I also didn't enjoy the brie and jam toast at all. The jam was way too overpowering, the bread was overly toasted, and the side salad felt unfinished -- it was basically just arugula with a few pickled onions on top, which didn't really go well together. I've also tried their brownie and chocolate chip cookie, and both were a letdown. The brownie was dry and flavorless, and the cookie was just okay. It was made with milk chocolate, but I personally think it would've been much better with dark chocolate, maybe some flaky salt or browned butter for more depth of flavor. For a homemade cookie, I expected something that tasted more special and less like it came from a box mix. Because of the food, I probably won't go back, though I will say the décor is really nice and whimsical.

I would recommend a plain croffle or ask for no cream or light on the cream.

As I walked in, the owner and the employee at the counter greeted me with big smiles. I mentioned it was my first time, and they walked me through the menu. The employee quickly took my sandwich order while the owner started making my mocha. I couldn't resist the pastries, they looked so delicious, so I had to grab a small cookie as well. My food was ready in about four minutes. I was very impressed with the sandwich; the portion size and the value were excellent. The bacon was perfectly crispy, and the egg and potato were so flavorful. The coffee was a little too hot, so I asked for two ice cubes, but it tasted delicious regardless. I am already excited for the next time I return to Syosset to visit The Station Café! Small but mighty store! ¡Encontré este café en Yelp y me moría por probarlo! Me alegró mucho haber podido pasar hoy. En cuanto entré, el dueño y el empleado del mostrador me recibieron con una gran sonrisa. Mencioné que era mi primera vez y me mostraron el menú. El empleado tomó rápidamente mi pedido de sándwich y el dueño comenzó a preparar mi café mocha. Me puse a ver la repostería y todo se veía tan delicioso que tuve que llevarme una galleta pequeña. Mi comida estuvo lista en unos cuatro minutos aproximadamente. Quedé muy contenta con el sándwich; la cantidad de comida y el precio son definitivamente muy buenos. El tocino estaba crujiente y el sabor del huevo con las papas estaba riquísimo. El café estaba un poco demasiado caliente, así que pedí dos cubitos de hielo, pero de todos modos sabía delicioso. ¡Definitivamente estoy emocionada por volver la próxima vez que regrese a Syosset a The Station Café! ¡Una tienda pequeña pero poderosa!

The lemon tart was quiet nice. It was a good balance of tart, sour and sweet. I like the marshmallow fluff that was toasted on top of it. The raspberry madeline was a sweet butter cookie, crunchy on the edges with some parts being soft. It was okay. We also got tea.

When you walk in, there's a kiosk that you can order your own customized boba tea from. Their drinks are next-level! I tried the Brown Sugar Boba and it was perfectly sweet, creamy, and loaded with those chewy, fresh boba pearls (they make them hourly, so they're always spot-on). Their fruity drinks are also great when you add jelly to them. I like their unique customized boba cups. They are very convenient and they keep the straw from tearing too big of a hole on the seal and thereby leading to spillage. I've never seen that type of cup in other bubble tea places. The staff is super friendly and quick -- even when it's busy, orders come out fast and accurate. Love that it's a local, woman-owned business adding so much joy to the community. That being said, it is a very tiny establishment. Sometimes we end up having to stand while we enjoy our tea. Better to take the stuff to go! Definitely one of the better new bubble tea spots in the area.
