The new owner's of Naples Street Fair, now Garlic and Oil, bring an Halal establishment with significant changes in menu as well as recipe's, to this once consistent authentic Italian neighborhood staple. Margarita pizza, burrata and eggplant parmesan, where inedible. read more

Not a very good slice...in fact I had to toss it in the garbage....was dripping in oil...not crisp....and very heavy...

Please try the pizza from Farina 00! delicious and flavorful pizza.The crust is the best part it's soft and well made! I loved the guy that makes the pizza is so polite and seems so friendly. loved his vibe! Ambiance is perfect, coming back soon! read more

Price , pizza was ok not for the $ space is small needs to up the quality but has potential

Best real Italian food on Long Island period. Not Italian American but real Italian. There is a difference. It's literally the closest thing to being in Italy. The pizzas are outstanding and the pasta dishes are outstanding as well. All the pasta is made fresh. Many ingredients are from Italy. Gigi takes great pride in his food and it shows. Fantastico!! read more

This was my first time ordering from Chef Gigi's, and I opted for Delivery, as they had a great promotion. The first thing worth celebrating: the delivery time was accurate to the minute! I thought, "There's no way it will be here by then..." and I was right on time. Kudos for time management, efficiency and accuracy! All 3 pizzas were phenomenal: Salsiccia Pizza, Prosciutto E Funghi Pizza and Pizza Cacio E Pepe. The flavor and freshness of the ingredients shine, and it's a revelatory experience to have them combine once you bite into a slice. My favorite was the Prosciutto E Funghi, very closely followed by the Salsiccia Pizza. The toppings don't distract from the rest of the pizza; and the sausage was savory and perfectly crumbled. The pizza crust didn't disappoint and the wood-firing does have a distinct texture and taste. High praise all around. I look forward to sampling more of the menu after this experience! read more

I've ordered delivery from this restaurant on two separate occasions, and both times more than half of my order was missing. I'm not referring to missing toppings or a forgotten side -- I'm talking about entire personal pizzas and full orders of wings that I paid for but never received. The first time, I assumed it was a busy night and gave the benefit of the doubt after calling the restaurant. However, the second time it happened, I called again and was shocked by the response. I was told, "Then don't order here anymore." I was taken aback by the blatant disrespect. I paid in full both times for what should have been a complete order and instead received less than half of what I was expecting -- and now, on top of that, I'm being told not to return? This is completely unacceptable, and I feel that others should be made aware of the lack of professionalism, accountability, and customer service. read more

Fantastic. Friendly staff. Two pies take out. Warmed up in oven... delicious. Can't wait to go back.

Incredible small ristorante with a wood fired Italian oven. Sit in the back. Always go for Chef Gigi's special dishes. We had an incredible pizza with Tuscan Boar prosciutto and an arugula salad with fried burratta. Then we had lobster stuffed tortelloni with Sicilian red shrimp! Yum. To top it off Gigi made us a special dish with Tuscan pici pasta with a prosciutto and a gold sauce ( tomato and butter) and green parmesan (basil added to 24 month aged cheese) and cracked black pepper. What more can you say? Go and have Chef Gigi feed you. read more

Forget this place. Ordered delivery online directly through the restaurant's website last-night at 8:22pm and received a text notification from Farina00 That said, "This is Farina 00 Your order will be ready for delivery today at 8:47 PM. If you have any problems, please call +15166734630." It also said, "Sent by Owner" At 8:59pm I got a notification that they cancelled the order. I called at 9pm and they wouldn't answer. We could have ordered from one of the 2 the pizza places on my street tonight, but decided to try something different. Now our go-to spots are both closed too and we're starving with nothing for dinner. This was so rude and unprofessional of this restaurant. They could have at least called us as a courtesy, but clearly they don't care about our business. We will never attempt to try FArina00 or Gigi's ever again. read more

Was in Baldwin, NY for a quick trip and trying to beat rush hour (major fail) stopped and timed a margerhita to be ready as I pulled up. Intending to eat while I drove, when i.opwnes the box I decided that I needed to eat it while it was still steaming and I am glad that I did. Classic neapolitan style executed very well and I'm disappointed that I hadn't dined in for the whole experience but definitely planning to go back. Awesome find and portnoy rated their Roman style pie an 8.2 if that means anything to you. read more

Went in expecting a great pie. Pizza chef sitting on a bench in front where customers would usually be. Asked for a New York style square pizza From a young man behind the cash register.Asked him twice to make it well done. Gives order to pizza chef who promptly made a round pie. When I told him I wanted a square pie he told me it was the same thing. Since he already made it I didn't make him change it. Raced home and when I opened the box the pizza was barely cooked. It had no structure whatsoever and the whole thing was an undercooked mess. i wasted $26 for what will wind up in the garbage. Save your money and go elsewhere. When people are either incapable of listening to their customers or just don't care they should not be in business. The owner of this establishment needs a wake up call. read more

Very lovely spot in the middle of Franklin square! Came here with my family and felt like I was in Europe. One thing that makes me nervous though, is their seating. It's a small tight area in the back of the restaurant with no windows and as someone who's still on edge with Covid, it wasn't my cup of tea, but I got over it quickly. You can also bring your own wine. CGP is very authentic from the restaurant to the servers to the food to the decor. I really liked the vibe and the hospitality. I personally felt like the pastas lacked salt but that's something my parents were appreciative of. We ordered: Burrata and speck over arugula - yummy and fresh, I'm just a dressing snob so I wish there was a balsamic or something but I figured this place was not the place to ask for changes or something on the side. It was still good though! CALABRESE PIZZA PICCANTE - this was my favorite. Absolutely incredible and that Nduja is LIFE CHANGING: Tomato sauce, mozzarella, Nduja spicy spreadable sausage, and spicy salami. Drizzled with extra virgin olive oil PAPPARDELLE PORCHINI AND TARTUFO- super filling but wish it had a little salt and that I could taste the truffle more. I wish I opted for their gnocchi instead: Tuscan pasta, Porchini mushrooms and black truffle creamy sauce RIGATONI ALLA "CARBONE" - spicy and good. It's 8 big pieces, spicy but good: Inspired by Carbone Restaurant in Little Italy. Rigatoni in spicy vodka sauce Black bucatini with prawns special - really enjoyed this. The prawns and sauce were incredible. We got zeppoles for dessert - it's a massive portion read more

Wow! This pizza blew my mind with its flavor I am a lover of Neapolitan and Roman style pizza and this pizza is the same as the Neapolitan one although I ordered takeout I was able to realize that they have home made pasta ufff, fusilli and rigatoni is my favorite I have to try it! read more

Ever since actor Stanley Tucci took a gastronomic tour of Italy and sampled The Four Pastas of Rome, I have been doing my own Roman culinary odyssey right here on Long Island Chef Gigi specializes in making the Four Pastas of Rome, not just "Naples Street Food". I recently devoured his intensely-flavored Pasta alla Gricia, which was made with heaping tablespoonfuls of guanciale and Pecorino Romano. I will be back soon to try his new version of Cacio e Pepe: Fettuccini Cacio e Pepe with pistachio crumbs and black truffle. A photo of it is on his Instagram page: #chef_gigis_place For an upcoming beach house BBQ on Fire Island, I will purchase some Cacio e Pepe chicken wings to serve as an appetizer and either the Pasta Carbonara or the Pasta All'Amatriciana to serve as the main course. I am impressed with the Roman cooking style of Chef Gigi. He also has a gregarious personality. The prices are reasonable in this pizza/restaurant. Check out his website, NaplesStreetFoodMenu dot com. Many weekday specials are available. Example: He has a Jumbo Chicken Wing special and a Pizza and Chicken Wing special. There are also Deals and Coupons. Discounts are given for online orders. The dress code is casual. There is plenty of public street parking in a bustling shopping district. I highly recommend Chef Gigi's Place, especially for connoisseurs of The Four Pastas of Rome. read more

Absolutely delicious pizza. We ordered the Margherita and the sauce was super light and basil-y. Crust was perfectly doughy but still crispy. The cheese was fresh and perfectly melted. Don't skip out on the Nutella zeppolis!! read more

Came here for the first time and the food was delicious. The menu was so different from any other Italian restaurant I would normally patronize. There were unusual pastas like a large spaghetti with a hole through the middle of it. I didn't see spaghetti and meatballs or lasagna. I saw gnocchi with walnuts and Gorgonzola. Everything sounded wonderful and I wished I could try it all. We had a calzone which had much more filling than any I'd ever ordered, fat spaghetti pasta with the whole through the middle with a 3 meat tomato sauce, and a brick oven pizza with tomato sauce, tomatoes, fresh mozzarella. I couldn't tell you which I liked best. Everything was great!!! The servers are knowledgeable and friendly and the chef comes out of the kitchen to see how you like his food. If I had to guess, it's all one family. I rarely give 5 stars. In fact, it's almost never. This restaurant though, deserves 5 stars. The only negative I have is that the seating area is much too small. There are probably not more than 10 tables. Most are for 2 with a couple that could seat 4. If you have a large group you would want to go somewhere else. There's just no room. I will definitely return!!! read more

Ordered here with some friends to celebrate an engagement. The food is was very fresh and we ordered a variety of entrees, apps, and pizzas. I ordered the chicken alla Carbone. It had a nice kick and for those who can't handle that much heat, this may be too hot. The food tasted delicious and the portions were sizable. They did forget to give us one entree but when we called, they took care of it quickly and remedied the situation. Great customer service. read more

When THE OWNER tells you, "THAT'S LIFE," when they got our pizza delivery WRONG (apparently to the wrong house) and proceeds to vehemently argue, instead of making it right. Thereby, NOT VALUING their LONG-STANDING customers AND our HARD-EARNED money, which we were WILLING to spend with YOUR business, you will NEVER see US, OUR MONEY, nor our friends & family's business EVER AGAIN! Never felt SO dismissed in ALL of my years of patronizing small businesses. I'm GLAD it's SO EASY for THIS business to turn away customers! Food deteriorated after Naples left anyway! If this review could be a -5, it would be! read more

I've had their pizza before, so I wanted to try a few new items. Great: eggplant parm. Just ok: cacio e pepe (they got the pepe part but not enough cheese/creamy taste). Very friendly service. As I've enjoyed most of their items, I plan to return. read more

first time here - came for the September pasta sale. rigatoni carbone was delicious but the other two pastas were spinach-based. i neither requested this nor do i like the funky-earthy aftertaste of spinach-based pasta . the reviews and pics do NOT show green pasta . It's really strange to make such a drastic substitution without calling the customer we live thirty minutes away so we ate the pasta (that we didn't order) and made the best of it texted the owner on his feedback link twice without a response went in person on Wed to speak with owner and instead spoke with his very pleasant employee who said he wasn't in but would forward the message - never heard back there are a lot of reviews here and on yelp regarding the service (wrong orders, attitude etc.) - maybe this is a part-time hobby for him and not a serious business ? gave them three opportunities to remedy this situation before posting this review read more

This place is fantastic! Came here for a yelp elite event and have been here two more times in four days because the food is so delicious. We've tried a few different things. The pizza that we had had tomatoes and I think Buffalo cheese and it was delicious. The tomato sauce with a little sweet tart not like typical tomato sauce you get another Italian places. It was good and I had a really good crust on the pizza. My mother got the caccio e Pepe and loved it so much! My daughter also loved it. When she got it tonight it definitely had more pepper in it compared to the previous time and my mother was sweating because it had so much heat from the pepper. The Cesar salad was huge. My parents, daughter, and I shared it! Delicious! I forget with pasta I had what was called, but it had twisty pasta with sausage. It was in a cream sauce and it was amazing. The sausage was extremely flavorful. My dad also had the stash but he had it without the cream sauce and he loved it also. My mother also tried the eggplant appetizer. She said it was huge and quite delicious and she's looking forward to getting it again. My mother is going back on keto and she said it was great because there was no breading on the eggplant. The dishes served with bread but you just don't eat it if you're going to try keto. The only reason I'm not giving this place five stars is because it is so tiny. It's also kind of loud when there is a lot of people inside because you're so cramped. But this is not gonna stop us from going back it's not gonna stop us from getting takeout because the food is fantastic and I completely recommend it. Plus the chef is so incredibly nice. He comes out and says hello and I'll see him walking around a little bit in between dishes he definitely works very hard because everything is just so good and has a great quality to it. read more

Honestly the best and most authentic Italian place around. Chef gigi is truly amazing. Bravo brava bravo

DONT BOTHER...YOU WILL FIND BETTER SERVICE AT DOMINOS!!! I placed an order at 7pm. Received an initial estimate of 7:44 pm. Arrived at the restaurant at 7:48 and the lady at the front said the order will be ready "in a few minutes" so I waited. Got a text at 7:50 that the order was ready but did not actually get handed the order until 8:10. Food was cold and soggy when I got it. Not worth the wait. If an order is delayed, update the customer. If an order is delayed because we are waiting on an item, let the customer know! Complete failure in terms of customer service. I will not return. read more

Our first time here under Chef Gigi's kitchen. And WHAT A LOVELY SURPRISE! We didn't know it was as BYOB and typically enjoy our wine. Especially with good Italian food. However, that didn't ruin our experience. Service great. Especially considering there's one person doing it. Thanks. Made it even better Food was amazing. Burrata w/Proscuitto was plentiful & delicious. I had the pasta with sausage & mushrooms. Husband had penne ala vodka. Both definitely were handmade and were so tasty. Planning on coming back soon with a bottle. And we are considering bringing a few cookies to linger over for dessert. Can't wait. read more

Had mixed experience with this restaurant in the past. It has been rebranded/renamed to Farina00. After receiving high praise from Newsday, decided to give it another try. Newsday highlighted its specials, so when I tried to place a take out order tonight, I asked about them. The person answering the phone said he needed to find out and put me on hold. When he came back I heard the staff familiar with the special options in the background while he tried to repeat them. He laughed as he did this and then hung up on me. Very disappointing, especially after driving a distance to get to Franklin Square. They need to get their act together and have staff answering the phone who are serious and care about customer service. Don't think I will be coming back. read more

it's a tiny place, it really can't hold more than 15-20 people so plan accordingly. but honestly everything is good and very fresh! The chef always comes out to say hello and the waitress was really great. my truffle pasta needed a lot more salt but was full of flavor. the pizza was by far my favorite. i might just order the pizza only next time i'm there read more

I went to this location a few weeks back, and I really question how some have loved this place. First off, some of the individuals who work there, maybe it's the owner, they can be very rude. Being there for the first time, you'd think you have more assistance, especially with the questions I had. I asked two questions, and was given a look, that I felt was, "get out of here." While I was there, I ordered the penne vodka, which was absolutely delicious. The flavoring on the pasta was really good, and it was al dente. I threw in my favorite red pepper to give it a nice kick, and it made it taste even better. I also ordered the cacio e pepe pizza, which is straight out of Rome. The pizza is so good, there's no red sauce on it, which would take you back to Rome itself. There's a nice amount of black pepper, and I couldn't tell if it was pecorino, parmigiana, or both. The pizza, it took me back to Italy, which is a wonderful feeling. Overall, the food is really good, but the service of those who help you are not for me. This would've gotten 5 stars, but I felt disrespected when I was there. read more

Excellent meals made with great ingredients and care. My 4th visit here, and I am still impressed by the great pasta and pasta choices they have. Consistency, to me is the keyword here! Our entire party enjoyed their dishes, and the daily specials offered, are typically your best choices. They do have und out of their specials, so I would say go as early as possible! The chef always makes it a point to come out, and greet his patrons, which is a nice gesture. The ambience is not that of a "fine" dinning restaurant, however their meals defined are. read more
