Was here recently. The people who work here and the owner are really really nice and make every effort to be accommodating. That makes it tough for me to write this, because they make for a very nice overall experience. I had Chicken Sorrentino, w/a side of pasta with Vodka Sauce and a Caesar Salad. Let's start with the good. The Caesar Salad was excellent and so was the fresh bread brought to the table. The Chicken Sorrentino was just not very good. Sloppy presentation, just not very tasty. The pasta was overdone, in spite of a request for Al Dente. And the Vodka Sauce was extremely bland. They were busy so maybe that was part of it although I don't think that should be an excuse. I truly wish them well. Just a very mediocre meal at best. read more

Usually we avoid trying a new place for a birthday or anniversary, but we had a generous gift certificate, and we'd heard consistently wonderful things, so we bit the bullet and reserved for the night of Donna's birthday. It was a spectacular success. We started with the cauliflower appetizer, which was as enormous as it was delicious. Birthday girl got the chicken rotini, which was generous, tender and perfectly spiced. I got the pasta in pink sauce with shrimp and scallops. Our waiter Fernando was a total gem. Look forward to many return visits. read more

Food is very good! Service is prompt! Small restaurant very homey. Convenient. Ample parking

My review is based on a delivery experience. I cannot believe all these positive reviews - the food was absolutely awful. Arancini were sour, chicken noodle had no flavor, chicken cordon blue was soaked in a sauce / gravy with mushrooms which made it soggy and it tasted disgusting. Side pasta was an overcooked blob, steamed broccoli was terrible. And not to mention they forgot to deliver a whole pasta dish- maybe it was for the best as I was offered to come pick it up after paying over $100 for this underwhelming experience. Somewhat decent were the zucchini strips and the cheesecake. I will never order from this restaurant again. read more

Well I made it to Elisa's again tonight. The service is perfecto! And tonight's meal was the rigatoni spinach pesto My favorite!!! It was just what I needed for dinner. It's ALWAYS a pleaaure to dine there!! read more

For my birthday this year my family took me to Elisa's in Bellmore. It was a wonderful experience and I would go again The food was excellent, well prepared and the menu was quite diverse. Our service was helpful especially considering our (then) 10 months old grandson was more interested in tossing the plate as opposed to eating what was in it. The ambiance was a sort of Italian Farmhouse and to top it off the chef was making fresh pasta in front of our eyes. read more

The online ordering is a horror show. The food is tasteless. Linguini with red clam sauce--couldn't taste any clams. No red sauce... watery pieces of chopped tomato. No flavor at all. Like eating uncoated pasta. Threw it out. Chicken dish....the sauce had flavor. Threw out the chicken. Salad was very good. read more

Great food, excellent service. Extensive menu with great specials all at a very reasonable price. Gluten free friendly too. Highly recommend

Deserts and many after dinner drink selections! Highly recommend ambiance as tables are well spaced for enjoying your friends & family. This restaurant is a great family friendly location! read more

This past Saturday night for the first time I went into Alyssa's restaurant which was recommended by a friend. We were a table for four and sat down immediately on our reservation that we placed. The service were very attentive specially our server on our table. I had the chicken rollatini and the chef came out of the kitchen walking the floor I stopped them and told him this was the best chicken rollatini but I've never had. The chicken was nice and soft and tasty the spinach was marinated perfectly in their special white sauce. I had a side order of broccoli which was in the garlic sauce that was stupendous. My wife had the veal parmesan very thin sizeable portion very tasty. My other two friends husband and wife they have meals they express positivity on each one. The ambiance is very simple and comfortable. My only concern is it's a little too loud with the acoustics. But that will not dissuade me from coming back again with other friends and family read more

Traditional Italian done right. Friendly greeting by staff and the service was comfortable and welcoming. Diane was so nice. Blueberry meatballs may not be traditional Italian cuisine, but it works. 5 small delicious meatballs in a blueberry port wine reduction... now you get it. The friend Zucchini was golden delicious and enough to feed 8 people. My 2014 Barolo paired perfectly with the Lamb osso bucco, which was on point. Fall-off the bone tender, savory, meaty, flavorful. Vegetable oreganatta should be your side of choice; flavorful and not overcooked. The food was excellent. There is nothing to remotely complain about. Can't wait to go again. They are good at what they do at the level they are at. Cheers! read more

Great neighborhood family owned italian restaurant. It always so enjoyable eating at Eliza's. Chef makes great food and always has great specials to choose from each night. We started we baked clams and needed to ask for more bread to soak up all that delicious sauce. We both decided on pasta for dinner and both were great choices. I went with pasta rollo which was rolled up fresh lasagna. After seeing similar dishes online I always wanted to try it glad they had it and it was delicious. My wife enjoyed her pasta with chicken & broccoli. Since it was Tuesday they have pasta night and both dishes came with a nice salad. read more

We came here during not too long ago. The restaurant had outdoor seating in the tent available to accommodate for the COVID-19 safety protocols. In addition to the menu they had several daily specials which also sound just as appetizing. One of the specials was a fig crostini with a balsamic vinegar reduction and goat cheese which was great overall with a sweet and tangy flavor. We also ordered entrees. My husband got the chicken franchese and I got the Penne Villa pasta that had baby scallops and shrimp in a pink sauce. Both tasted good, but could of had more seasoning to elevate the complexity of the flavor. Just an addition of fresh herbs would had made the dishes better. Service was good here. Our waiter made sure we had everything we needed during our lunch. I wouldn't say it's the best Italian place in town, but they are worth a go. read more

Family owed. Hidden gem!! Everything is amazing!! This is a must try. You won't regret it!

Started off with the blueberry meatballs and the special portobello mushroom stack. Both were delicious. I ordered the gnocci special, which was in a cream sauce with spinach , tomatoes, and onions . The gnocci were probably one of the best I have had. They were like soft pillows others ordered the Nonnas Pasta with meatballs and sausage. Spinach salad as well. For dessert, we went with the creme Brule cheesecake. It was excellent. Highly recommend Elisa's read more

I've been to this restaurant a few times for get-together with close friends. The place is definitely small as I feel there's not much leg room, but I'm sure it's because they try to accommodate everyone and I've always gone here with a party of at least 5+ people. The staff is very accommodating and definitely the service has always been great. I do like their chicken Marsala but the chicken Francese is the next contender. read more

This is a neighborhood restaurant with friendly staff and with owners who care about their customers. It was a Saturday night, our reservation was 7:30 pm and there seemed to be a lot of large celebrations going on within the dining room. We needed to wait 30 minutes, but the owner/manager communicated with us every few minutes to update as to when we would be seated. He also offered cocktails at no charge. We were patient and totally understood the circumstances. We were seated in a comfy dining room. Our server was was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious , especially the lemon cake! Their veal parmigiana got the thumbs up from my husband who is a VP snob. The only drawback for this restaurant is, if you need to wait, you are in a very small bar area which is also the entrance to the restaurant. We will be back and highly recommend! read more

The food is awesome here. We've had parties catered from Elisas, eaten in the restaurant (inside and outside) and ordered takeout and have never had something we didn't like. Someone in my family knows someone in the restaurant business and they said Elisas has the cleanest kitchen on Long Island. From the seafood to the pasta to the eggplant rollatini (with spinach ricotta mixed in) to their gnocchi bolognese (probably their best dish; made from scratch) and the dessert and gelato, it's just very fine, authentic Italian food and consistent from visit to visit. They do gluten free penne alla vodka and filet mignon too if you have dietary restrictions. Rocky & the staff are the best. Also highly recommend their family meals for a great value when taking out. read more

We were able to make a reservation to sit outside on a Sunday late afternoon. The outdoor dining set-up is nice, under a large tent; one side is more enclosed but there were fans to circulate the air. Our waiter was just lovely, not only was he attentive, but very appeasing to my young niece who was talking his ear off every time he came by. Based on the food, I don't know that I would return. I wouldn't consider the food bad, but just kind of fine. We ordered some apps for the table; the tomato/mozzarella salad was good and standard. The special crunchy green beans with an aioli were very tasty. I got excited about the artichoke hearts oreganata, however once I tasted them, I realized they were jarred pickled artichokes, which just didn't work as an organata IMO. On to the entrees. I ordered the veal parmigiana with a side of linguine with garlic and oil. The veal was cooked well with a nice amount of mozzarella cheese. The sauce was kind of one note....almost didn't seem homemade. The linguine was good, but a bit on the salty side. The Seafood Fra Diavola, had a nice amount of seafood, but again just didn't bring the flavors you'd expect. All in all service was quick and friendly, but the food, wasn't up to the same standards. read more

Best Italian restaurant. The food is always delicious. The service is excellent. It's my favorite spot.
