Crispiest fried calamari I've ever had, they were so good! Unfortunately that's the only thing I…read morecan rave about. Worst rice balls any of us have ever had, slight soapy taste & the texture was awful. The meatballs didn't taste very fresh. Our chicken parm was okay but the pasta was way undercooked. The restaurant is nice but the food / service is not worth returning for. Our waitress had made a limoncello that should be ready in a few weeks which I thought was a nice thing to look forward to.

The bar tender was great! Very attentive and he made some great food recommendations. I started with their meatballs and moved on to their traditional cheese pizza. The meatballs and red sauce were fire. Very tasty! Their pizza was good as well but not great as compared to their meatballs. I wish I would have gone with a pasta dish. They make pretty much everything in house which should be the standard for an authentic place. I would definitely return in the future but only to taste some other dishes they had and to enjoy their homemade tiramisu.

DODICI SAVED THE DAY!…read more We had an engagement photo shoot scheduled at another restaurant in Rockville Centre this past weekend, but it unfortunately fell through at the last minute. Feeling a bit panicked, we ended up meeting the owner of Dodici Ray, who graciously welcomed us with open arms and immediately let us do our entire photo shoot at his beautiful restaurant. (We can't wait to see the photos!) From the moment we walked in, the entire team, manager Chris, the bartender, and the waitstaff, made us feel so welcome. Our photographer (Danielle Jenkin Photography) was thrilled with the gorgeous decor, particularly the stunning wine wall that made for the perfect romantic backdrop. Throughout the shoot we enjoyed delicious espresso and dirty martinis, followed by a wonderful lunch and celebratory limoncello shots afterward. The food was outstanding! We loved the pappardelle pasta, mussels, octopus, pizza, and my personal favorite, the fried calamari in lemon cherry pepper sauce. We were truly blown away by both the food and the warm, kind service. We are so grateful to Dodici for treating us like family. What started as a stressful situation turned into one of the most wonderful experiences. Dodici is now very special to us, and we will definitely be back soon! Highly recommend!

Regardless, we ordered a bunch of appetizers to share including Cesar salad, Mediterranean salad, mussels in white wine sauce, octopus, and calamari. Portions were pretty small to share between 8 people (2 kids). The bread and olive oil was awesome. For mains, we shared the penne vodka with shrimp, lobster ravioli, shrimp scampi with grilled broccoli, and eggplant parm with pasta. The two kids had their own pasta and really enjoyed it. Again, everything was so delicious but just really small.... Had we known the size of the dishes, we would've ordered more. For dessert we shared the tiramisu, tartufo, lava cake, and ice cream. Lava cake did not ooze out chocolate which was disappointing for the kids. While food is pretty good here, I'd go somewhere else for better service experience.
