We had a good dining experience here. To start, they bring out hot, fresh bread, which is always a win in my book. The food was delicious, and our server had a great sense of humor, which made the meal even more enjoyable. The only downside was that the air conditioner was dripping on our table. I'd recommend asking to sit away from the vents to avoid this. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the food, the service, and the laughs! read more

So over priced it's a crime. Service absolutely TERRIBLE!! Even if you're a regular, don't expect any better treatment. But if you want the most expensive Italian food with little taste and the worst possible service, this is the place for you. Avoid at all costs. read more

This is a fabulous old school Italian restaurant, with absolutely delicious fare. This evening was our first time dining at this establishment, and fortunately I made a 5:30 PM reservation. When we arrived the restaurant was only partially filled. Fortunately, we did arrive early, since over the next hour the restaurant filled up, with quite a few people waiting for a table. The restaurant is unpretentious, with seating fairly close together. Now for the food. Before ordering, the owner stopped by, and told us some of the restaurants history, and him being the longtime owner of over 4 decades. He then recited the evenings specials along with interjecting a couple of very funny stories. Each special sounded incredible, and we began our meal with a couple of glasses of a tasty Montepulciano. We shared, one the evening's special appetizers of luscious & creamy zucchini flowers. For entrees my wife ordered one the specials of shrimp stuffed with lump crab meat, in a lobster sauce. She couldn't stop talking about how fantastic it tasted. My only comment was although outstanding, the portion size consisted of 4 shrimp, which was more than enough for my wife, but someone with a bigger appetite may find the order a bit skimpy. For my entree I was drawn to something, which I rarely see on a menu, chicken livers. Although, I thought, for sure, that was what I would choose, the owner in going over the specials cited some of the best menu items, one of which was lasagna. I then told the owner about my dilemma, and I asked him to choose, and the lasagna won out. Although, I missed not having the chicken livers, I consider myself a lasagna aficionado, and, without question, this lasagna moved up to near the top of the list. We ended the meal by having a homemade chocolate layer cake, which was divine. I apologize for not taking any pictures, but I was so excited about the food that my taste buds overrode any thoughts of snapping photos. Finally, definitely run to this restaurant ASAP, but, if possible, I recommend, if possible, to go during the week to avoid the crowds of an obviously very popular restaurant. read more

First time, last time. Was greeted and seated fast enough but the waiter rushed us through the meal, which was average at best. Never checked to see if everything came out as ordered or if we needed anything. Only came back when it was time to pay the bill and impatiently stood there until we were done. read more

My family and I had a great time tonight. This was our first visit to this long established restaurant, and we will definitely come back! The food, staff and atmosphere were outstanding! Everyone in our party enjoyed their entrees. This restaurant is a shining star nestled in Port Washington. Thank you for a wonderful dinner. Janet G. read more

We wanted a regular place in our neighborhood. DiMaggio became this place for us. It's a small intimate restaurant with a classic menu. We loved the pork chop with peppers here. It's very tasty and generous. Eggplant parmigiana and the pizza are good too. The service is attentive and polite. read more

After living in the neighborhood for 15 years, I finally tried this small but cozy Italian restaurant and I'm glad I did. The service was warm and attentive from the moment we walked in, and the food exceeded expectations. A big plus for us, my wife is gluten-free, and many, if not all, of their dishes can be made gluten-free without compromising flavor. Eddie, the owner, is lovely and clearly passionate about his restaurant, which adds to the welcoming atmosphere. Overall, this is definitely a spot I'd return to and explore more of the menu. A great neighborhood gem worth visiting sooner rather than later! read more

When we are away and come home, the first place we go to eat is dimaggios. We CRAVE their food and talk about it often!! The fusilli a la diane is by far the best! But my husband wd say the chicken verde (side of broccoli) is even better! My 11 year old? Chicken francese and don't get me started on the pillow bread! When we go here, we feel like family. No other place in town can compare!! If you know, you know. Best restaurant, hands down! read more

I just love this place it's my favorite restaurant on Long Island . I have 3 very hungry men in my family and they are also very picky they will only go to DiMaggio's for an italian dinner . We have had birthday dinners and celebrated many events with DiMaggio's . The presentation is amazing the bread is delicious they bring it to you all warm from the oven it's so good . The entrees are delicious the sauce is so fresh I never leave without buying a few jars . The staff are wonderful and have been with Angelo and Eddie for years . I can't say enough about beautiful Teresa who has adorned the walks with her talent . I just can't say enough about this beautiful blessed restaurant and I wish many more years of continued success. We love you and appreciate you DiMaggio's . read more

Although this restaurant used to be good, it is not anymore. Food is low quality and staff is rude. AND it's expensive!

DiMaggio's Trattoria in Port Washington - all I can say is Wow and Wow for two amazing experiences on Thursday 8/24 and just 4 hours ago today, Wednesday 8/30. I don't think there is any Italian restaurant with this caliber of overall superiority in every single area: Hands on owners who are naturally loving, welcoming, engaging and who absolutely and fully ensure that the food, the service, the experience are excellent and the customers are beyond ecstatic. The food - artichokes from Italy, chocolate cake and cheesecake prepared by the one n only Mrs Marinelli, amazing hot fresh bread and garlic bread; the mozzarella melts in your mouth, the peppers glide in as well; the baked clams are to die for says my buddy John as he tears off the bread and soaks up the sauce. The fried eggplant is divine. The grilled octopus is delicious and perfectly done. The main course- wait do you still have room - the pork chop, the chicken parm, the blackened swordfish, the lasagna, the Chicken Marsala and the crazy n scream worthy( as in joyful) tricolore gnocchi that will make you want to kiss the chef. We haven't quite made it to the beautiful desserts - the house made chocolate cake, the tiramisu, the fresh cannolis, the biscotti, the tartuffo are sinfully sterling. The inside of the restaurant- the atmosphere is love. Love from the owners Angelo and Eddy and the superb Valentino. Valentino - you are a gem - you took such good care of both big groups in the last week with class, professionalism, fun and efficiency. You are very special. Thank you! Everyone is transported to Bari, Italy and the lucky few get to sit in the back room like we did today. There is excitement and fun and bustle in DiMaggio's. Not been lucky to experience all of the above and more, a lot more.... Dock your boat in the " Port" harbor and get to DiMaggio's. I actually drove up from " Washington " DC yesterday. read more

We've only gone there twice. The first time, it was fantastic. They had a vegan lasagna (also GF) that was really delicious. They just happened to have it as a special that day. We had good service and everything was just right. Another time we came, having heard they had GF gnocchi. Unfortunately they put cheese in it (who puts cheese IN the gnocchi???). I can't remember what I had the second visit, but it was disappointing. My husband wasn't thrilled about his food, either. Also, it was really crowded, so the service suffered. We might have to try it a third time, but it's really expensive, so we haven't yet. The wine is great. (EDITED, meant to say lasagna, not pizza) read more

My wife and I went here to celebrate getting our keys to our new spot. It was such a cute spot. We highly recommend getting the rigatoni vodka. It was so good. The chicken was the thinnest chicken we've ever seen but it was good. The clams weren't the best. The wine was nice and refreshing. The service was good and the owner was very friendly and you can tell he's proud of his spot. We'd definitely come back. read more

Very nice restauran/trattoria.My Italian family and I stopped for lunch and it was delicious. The cozy atmosphere in the back room was simply beautiful , you feel like you're in a real Italian small town. Very good and welcoming service. Highly recommend read more

Food was good, my chicken parm was not bad but nothing special. Mozzarella sticks were very good. Service was very quick.

I was contacted immediately by Eddy, one of owners. He couldn't be more gracious and understanding . His restaurant is very popular and would not suffer losing us, but he went out of his way to ensure me he'd discuss w the waiter and that we would not have a repeat experience like this again. Very thoughtful and professional. Bravo. Thank you. Looking forward to our upcoming visit. ~Clare read more

Upon walking in, we were greeted so nicely by the owner and his staff. We were seated right away in the room in the back with a classic Italian town theme. Sitting in this dining room felt like we were sitting outdoors in a classic Italian town with very unique architecture. Certainly a very cool vibe upon sitting. To start, we ordered the clams oreganata and the meatballs. I did not the enjoy the texture of the meatballs and thought the flavor was just OKAY. The tomato sauce that the meatballs were served with was actually really good though. The clams oreganata were good as well but i've certainly had much better in other Italian restaurants. For our main course, we decided to two different specials for the night. My girlfriend had the stuffed shells with red sauce & the lobster ravioli with vodka sauce. Her dish was absolutely incredible. The stuffed shells had a nice texture of the ricotta inside while the vodka sauce with the ravioli was perfect. I ordered the swordfish special that was served over a bed of leaf greens with avocado. 10/10 to both main courses! For dessert, the tiramisu is an absolute must. That served with a cappuccino.. great way to end the night. read more

Outstanding Gluten-free Italian food! The owner has a GF child and has created a delicious menu.

Google told us we had to try this restaurant, and we're glad we did. Delicious food, great ambiance, friendly staff, and and all around great experience. Plus the music on the website is definitely a unique 90s-esque experience when checking this place out online. Real deal Italian food cooked well - the only thing we didn't love was the bruschetta pizza, as it was much more salad than bruschetta ingredients. read more

This place is amazing!!!! The owners Eddy and Angelo took time to speak with us and were beyond inviting. By the time we left we felt like family. I am Italian American and they made me feel like home. We came from Maine and we're so happy to find DiMaggios! The food was nothing short of spectacular! My husband had the Tortellini in Brodo soup and I had 2 meatballs as an appetizer. I'm very picky about meatballs and these were great! They were moist, soft and juice. The sauce was delicious. Then we had an artichoke heart appetizer which was to die for! The sauce was delicious. I was so excited to see these that we dug right in and I forgot to take a picture. For Our entrees my husband had spaghetti alla carbonara which he thoroughly enjoyed. I got the gnocchi Italian flag which had 3 different sauces, Alfredo, tomato and pesto. I have never had gnocchi so light as a cloud in my life! The sauces were beyond yummy! We ended with a slice of lemoncello cake and lemoncello. A totally enjoyable day! We will definitely be back! read more

A little Italian gem in the middle of Port Washington! The decor is so cute and the back area is set up to make you feel as though you're eating in the outside courtyard of an Italian city. Our waiter Philippe was the cutest and most helpful!! He gave us a lot of recommendations that were spot on. We chatted like old friends and it really gave the place a cozy atmosphere. We ordered: - split pea soup (amazing and can easily be shared) - spicy calamari (unreal) -chicken parm (have had better but not bad) - garlic bread with mozzarella (yummy) - lobster ravioli with pink sauce (delicious) Can't wait to come back here. The service is great and the food tastes amazing read more

Parking was a problem: a few parking meters were in front; we parked around the corner and down the hill on industrial Davis Avenue. We were here before COVID in their back room and enjoyed both the food and ambience. This time the back room wasn't available, so we were put into a booth along the south wall. It didn't matter which side of the booth you sat on - we both felt every movement of the people in the neighboring booths. It was a full house and a very loud crowd. The wait staff was apparently in a hurry to get us in and out. On the bright side my dish, the veal scallopini pizzaiola, was delicious. The veal was soft and juicy and the mushrooms, red peppers, onions and tomato sauce were lip-smacking. It also came with a nice dinner roll and butter. I ordered a glass of unremarkable red chianti wine to pair it. There was a choice of sides: salad; pasta; or broccoli in oil and garlic - I chose the latter (okay). Reasonably priced meal. read more

On a whim we came here after a funeral for lunch. The owner couldn't have been more welcoming. He was great with recommendations and the food was phenomenal.

Very nice decor in here.. the vibe makes it feel as if you were actually in Italy. The food was great and the owner was very accommodating. My fiances brother eats gluten free food and the owner mentioned that they do take gluten free very seriously as he has family members who have to eat gluten free also. He provided us a free sample of his homemade gluten free gnocci and it was amazing. I ordered the Fettuccine Bolognese with a side of grilled chicken. read more

Walked around Roslyn for 45 minutes yesterday, waiting for the Jolly Fisherman to open. Walked up to the place, only to find out they open at 1:00 on Sunday, not 12. Consulted Yelp and came up with DiMiggios. Invited a PW grind to join us, she couldn't but highly recommended the place. We had Baked Clam... 10 Kobe Meatball.... 1 Seafood frutti di mare... 10 Rosemary chicken....10 Sautéed Spinach.... 10 The meatball had absolutely no flavor, maybe Old, either way an obvious mistake because everything else really was perfect.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, the layout, the decorations. The outside makes the restaurant seem smaller than it is. When you first walk in, there are tables, but there is also a back seating area filled with wall paintings and tapestries that are designed to make one feel like they are in Italy. We came here for dinner. Most of the people who come here are Italian. The only reason I note that: we were one of the few people dining who weren't Italian. We were greeted warmly when we came in, but the service inside was a little...biased. The main waiter who took our order seemed more cheerful and friendly with everyone else and rather dismissive with us. He chatted with other people and could barely look us in the eye for long. He took our orders briefly and left like he was in a rush. Never smiled once. No welcome at the table, no introduction to the menu. He simply pointed behind us and said "there are the specials". Did not ask us once whether or not the food was okay. Had no interaction with us after we ordered besides dropping the check and picking it up. On our way out we were given a warm goodbye by who I presume is the owner. We ordered calamari. It was basic; no lemon given, not as seasoned as other places. The entrées were good, but nothing extraordinary. One good thing about this place is they gave us disposable towel/napkins. (Better than the conventional reusable cloth napkin for you germaphobes). The other waiters in white treated us more respectfully. Not sure if this was intentional or not on our main waiters part but it made us slightly uncomfortable and between that and the food we'll likely not be coming back here again. read more

Stopped by this little spot on a recommendation from locals (we're from Upstate New York) and we loved every second of it! The food was phenomenally delicious and the atmosphere was relaxed and homely. One of the owners even stopped by our table for a chat, which was wonderful! If you're looking for home made, mouth watering Italian food do yourself a favour and stop here! Ask for the gnocchi - it was amazing!! We were even able to buy some of their self made sauce and bring it back home! read more
