I only order the special salad (made with lettuce, tomato, onion, pimento, genoa salami & provolone cheese) from here. It's great if you're looking for a salad on the heartier side possibly as an entrée. I just wish they didn't put so much iceberg lettuce in there. I prefer take out...the restaurant doesn't provide the best ambiance. read more

First of all I never review. But I'm so disappointed so just had to. Ordered pie of pizza half Hawaiian. He said 10 min which I thought was strange. Went to pick it up and was $30. Got home to find out that they didn't even warm up the pizza and would'nt be surprised if it was yesterday's pizza. Will never order from them again and will stick to Marinaras. Put a star bc apparently u can't review without any stars! read more

This place has been a staple in woodmere forever. I've been eating there pizza all throughout my childhood to adulthood and it used to be amazing but now the crust is too thin. It's like they put topping on a slice of paper. I don't know what they have going on or if they have a new guy making pizza but they need to make them thicker. read more

Review Date: October 31, 2013 So I didn't visit the restaurant, I ordered take out from them on Halloween. Either everyone orders a pizza on Halloween or this place just likes to take forever with their delivery. I placed my order at 7 PM while I was working the night shift and was told the order would arrive in 35 - 40 minutes. I ordered a pie so I could have a couple of slices on my break and I could share some with my co-workers if they wanted any. The only reason I ordered from them was because the pizza place was too busy and wouldn't take my order. I was fine waiting 35 to 40 minutes but I ended up getting my pizza an hour and ten minutes later. I know this pizza didn't come from Little Italy but from merely a few blocks away so I don't know what took them so long to make a simple cheese pie delivery. What the hell friendlier?!?! So the pizza itself is worth three stars. It's your average slice, not too terrible but nothing absolutely memorable either. But because delivery took so long I'm sorry I have to give it two stars. The price wasn't all that bad for a pie, I don't know why I tipped the delivery guy $2, I should have given him nothing but I feel bad about doing that. So I won't ever order from here again, or even step foot in the place because of the unreasonably long delivery time. I could get 35 to 40 minutes but when it turns into an hour and ten minutes that's just ludicrous! read more

I'm not going to review any one appetizer, or dinner here. The fact is that the kitchen here is on point with everything they do. They know Italian cuisine, and they knock it out of the park always in-terms of flavor, consistency, doneness, and presentation. For a local Five Towns Pizza/restaurant joint...... fuhgeddaboudit!! For a Nassau County Pizza/restaurant joint....... fuhgeddaboudit!!! Do they represent top of the line New York City Pizza, Italian cuisine.........hey fuhgeddaboudit!!

This is a very nice neighborhood Italian restaurant and pizzeria. All the food tastes home-cooked, is very reasonably priced, and the service is very pleasant. My 89-year-old grandmother lives nearby and has been coming here for years. The owner and other workers all know her by name and treat her like family. The front room is the pizzeria, and there's a nicer dining room in the back. It's good for groups of 6-10, as they have several round tables, helping to make sure that everyone can communicate with ease. Nothing beats a big round table. From fried calamari to Caesar salad to veal parm and pasta, you can't go wrong, no matter what you order. Save room for dessert, too. Grandma loves the tartufo, which is ice cream in a chocolate shell with whipped cream on top. Yum! I don't really have a choice about whether or not I will go back, as Grandma will insist on it, but I don't mind. They really are "friendlier" there, and that's what Italian food is all about!

New restaurant added (they expanded). A wonderful place. I have not been there in almost 30 years. Same owners, same fantastic food, but NOW, a wonderful trattoria to sit back and really enjoy a great meal. I had a portabello mushroom salad to begin with. Delicious and fresh. My husband had the minestrone soup, which he said was also excellent. From there, I moved onto my entrée, which was the veal marsala. The veal was slightly chewy, but overall, excellent. Instead of pasta, I had it with broccoli which was sautéed in garlic and oil - like I like it. My husband had the Italian beef stew. He practically licked the plate clean. Flavorful and plenty! They have a full bar. I had two Long Island Iced Teas. My husband had two Samuel Adams beers. For dessert, we split an order of tiramisu. They make their own. It came in a small dish, which was really too small for sharing, but we were stuffed and the right amount for each of us was enough to top off our wonderful meal and quench our sweet tooth. It was excellent by the way. We plan to return again and again. There are very few authentic Italian restaurants left in the Five Towns. This long time establishment it at its finest right now! On the side, my daughters dropped in yesterday for a slice. They loved their pizza. The last time they visited the place, they were in baby carriages! read more

The first thing you notice is that getting there feels like navigating a maze since it's tucked away in a secluded location. But the moment you walk through the doors, you're welcomed by a warm, relaxing atmosphere that instantly feels like home. You're always greeted with a friendly smile and a genuine "Hello, welcome!" The food is consistently outstanding, and the drinks are always on point. I have to give a special shoutout to our favorite server, Elaine. She is always approachable, kind, and makes us feel like family. Every visit feels personal--she remembers us, asks how we've been, and even knows our usual orders before we ask. That level of service is rare and truly appreciated. One of my favorite parts of dining here is sitting outside by the water. Watching the planes fly low overhead creates a unique atmosphere that almost makes you feel like you're traveling. I absolutely love Bayhouse and highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food, exceptional service, and a relaxing waterfront dining experience. It's a hidden gem that's well worth the visit!

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at the iconic Friendlier 76 Italian restaurant in Hewlett. I ordered their signature Friendlier 76 veal chop, and let me just say--it was exceptional. Perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavor, especially when paired with the rich and creamy side of creamed spinach. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was the outstanding service from none other than Nick Marino. From the moment I walked in, Nick went above and beyond--he even greeted me with a complimentary sandwich on my first visit, setting the tone for what would become a top-tier dining experience. Nick isn't just a great host--he's a culinary concierge, a hospitality hero, and simply the BEST to ever do it. If you're at Friendlier 76 and Nick's working, you're in for a five-star night. read more

I couldn't have asked for a better location, and I will continue to patronize and highly recommend Volcano to anyone looking for great food, great service, and a welcoming environment. -- Delerme Realty LLC

So just to begin with walking to the place was greeted by nice happy gentlemen that had served my…read moreson and his mom the day before . I saw they had a good menu and wanted to come here myself as well with my son and two others . The AC was not working On a 86 degree day like you know it's going to Be hot so have it ready and fixed right ? And one of our guest was pregnant as well. So we are waiting and sweating and eating and sweating . We got the pizzas/ octopus, and calamari . All three were on point calamari having not been greasy and a very good sauce, octopus was perfectly excellent, and pizza all hot and crust was good and edible nice and soft as well. Then my son's clams and pasta was good , my truffle pasta had good flavor a bit salty though and the grilled chicken had zero flavor only the trifle sauce made it better. My brother in law had the aranacii balls I think they were and not bad either . My sister got the rissoto if you can call it that. The Rissoto was plain and slaty as well, with shrimp and scallops on the side . It was like you had to put it back together. It's not the worst place but not a great experience and I would not come Back here again unless for apps and pizzas only. And making sure AC works .

I've eaten here a few times, and ordered just as many. I keep forgetting how good this place is…read more Portions are excellent, the sauce is just sweet and acidic enough, great balance. And the prices are reasonable. And oh, the fried calamari is one of the best I've had.

Mmmmm I am not sure what happened as I stepped in to order at this place. I was on foot between my…read moredentist and the LIRR and was going to go to Wendy's when I observed the foot traffic going in and out of the pizzeria. To me it meant local hidden gem so I doubled back to check them out. I feel like every neighborhood had one of these pizza shops- there was nice booth seating and ambient lighting. They had a hostess who was retuning to the stand as my son and I walked in and went straight to the register to view the pizza behind the glass before making our choices. Maybe those folks that came in and out quickly ordered over the phone, maybe they order week and the guy at the counter knows them- maybe it was because I wasn't a local. Anyway hey I will never know why the guy at the register taking my order had no warmth in his reception. Usually pizza is like up beat hectic and ok what you gonna get. It felt more like why are you here- for pizza of course. I shrugged off the feelings and ordered two plain slices and just as I thought- they were perfect slices of NY pizza. From the crispy crust, ideal amount of sauce, the temperature down to the cheese melt. I took some time to observe; it looks like they have a full kitchen and extended menu with Italian dishes. I did not observe the bar situation. They had a parking area, decent ambiance and seemed to be a community staple as in my short time in the area I observed over 5 families pop in and out. Hey maybe I was ugly that day or maybe they are just used to the locals so I am not sure if I would recommend. But the food was good, it's easy to get NY pizza wrong but they got it right. So it's possible I may return with my parents and check out the dinner menu on a Friday night who knows what the future holds. I can't let one persons attitude stand in the way of my love of pizza. 3/5 I might recommend.

A small exchange of words to confirm would have been welcomed. Slices are very thin which I like, the Margherita slice was ok but really just tasted like a regular slice with Parmesan. The regular slice was not very good, not in flavor, not in texture and the tip was burnt and not appealing.
