Restaurant  week Baked Clams Appetizer
Teresa L.

Local Italian fine dining serving up a 5 star experience every and any time you go. Prior to the COVID pandemic [2020/21] I was able to pop into this location a couple times, whether for a restaurant week special barside or with family for a birthday dinner. Each time satisfied the tastebuds to always walk away wanting to go back and try some more of their menu. Most know that the pandemic did a number on local small businesses, with many struggling to survive. I was very happy to see as things started coming back to our new normal, this local gem survived through it all. They now are still offering the outdoor [heated] dining tent [all year round it seems] since the capacity and social distancing went into effect to get all local restaurant businesses back up and running, if you wish to still dine in that manner. It's a new year 2022 and I just had to get back in to see where they were at with their diverse menu that i remembered. I was not let down one bit from beginning to end of an exquisite meal noting that that menu seemed to be expanded, total bonus, all the traditional Italian fan favorites and more delicately plated and presented to perfection! Started this chilly February evening with my guy at the bar having a Gimlet and Courvoisier VS Cognac as we waited for the table we reserved. Once seated we heard the chefs daily specials which all sounded fabulous...so of course had to personally temp my tastebuds with a few. Started of with their seafood avocado mango appetizer and the chefs Cauliflower Lobster soup of the day. Both were nicely presented and tasted great, although a little more sizable Lobster pieces of course would have made it that much better ;) What can I say I'm a seafood lover, so maybe l weigh on the side of never enough. :) I followed that up by selecting the Pistachio crusted Swordfish over a dijon creme sauce with mashed potatoes and spinach chefs entree special. This fish was so masterfully cooked to perfection, softly curling into the fork with such ease, I enjoyed every last bite! My guy opted a more traditional veal entree and ordered their Vitello Alla Saltimbocca. He raved cooked nicely with great flavor throughout, not one piece left behind or lost their either, well except for the bite I tried. ;) We couldn't stop their and nor should anyone, as one of any of their dessert selections to indulge in solo or shared is highly recommended, coupled with a Cappuccino and dessert liquor of course. We selected their Cheesecake and Apple pie and shared across sipping our Cappuccinos [w/Disaronno & Kahlua liqueurs]. Overall a fabulous welcome for my guys first time there, as he has been dying to try IL Luogo out for some time, and a more marvelous, mouthwatering return for this foodie ;) Nothing like closing out the night for all in style. I will be back for sure and highly recommend to even the pickiest palettes to definitely dine here and repeat...You won't be disappointed.

Went for a 30th birthday. I never finish my food. Here ate everything. Food had so much flavor was amazing. Everything I tried was super yummy. It's a bit far from my house so might not be back too soon but definitely recommend

It's such a beautiful location especially outside in the tent it's awesome. The music playing, perfectly heated definitely a great date night location. They even have valet parking which is really nice so makes you worry even less about your night. The food was super delicious and came out fast. The servers are on their game, bring your drinks and refill them without asking and are very attentive. My only issue and it seems to be the reoccurring problem with these modern Italian locations is the servings. I'm Italian and I know if I have a family member two chicken cutlets I'd get hit with a spoon lol that being said it was all very delicious I just wish there was a little more. The presentation on the crime brûlée was super impressive! I wish you could see the video, but I took a snap shot, the lit flames were awesome.

I'll Luogo Lynbrook, My new favorite restaurant! Atmosphere is wonderful, service great, and the food was absolutely delicious!

Enternece

See all

Livorno Restaurant - 12/10/25 bread basket

Livorno Restaurant

Best restaurant I know of. Not just the best Italian restaurant. Let me start out by saying, my…read moreonly criticism of the place is that the food is so damned good here that I tend to over-order and over-eat. Every time I'm there, I go in with the thought "THIS time I'm going to control myself". And then I do it again...., It's the only place remaining that I can't control my eating! The food is delicious, no matter what I order: meat, fish, appetizers. I could swear the air tastes better... Full menu, it's all great. Prices? Ya know, I used to say: a little expensive. But it seems that their prices have stayed the same while others have gone up, so I no longer regard Livornos as "an expensive restaurant". The last bill (yesterday) undercut my estimate by about 25%! Anyway, getting more than my money's worth at any price. You get free stuff too. They give you that pizza bread along with the regular bread. Some group vegetables at main course time. And in addition to any desserts you order, a LARGE tray of delicious fruit, no additional charge. I wish I knew where they get that fruit from because I can't find fruit in my shopping that matches it in taste. Oh yeah, also free Italian cookies. The service? As polite and efficient as I've ever seen. The owners (I think they're the owners) come around at intervals to make sure everything is okay. I've never had anything to complain about. My fingers are getting tired so I'll stop here. You've been warned.

WOW... This restaurant is spectacular. We went there last night a party of six. Our nephew just…read moremoved to the area. My husband and I were coming from Northport and his parents were coming from Staten Island so we decided to try a place in his new location. I googled some restaurants and found Livorna. When I made the reservation the person answering the phone was so polite so I had a feeling it was going to be a good experience. When we walked in they greet you with such warmth. When we sat down they put two generous bread baskets on the table along with a carbonara and a bruschetta plate. Right then and there it's telling you that they really appreciate your business. I ordered a house glass of wine and I was shocked that it was filled all the way to the top unbelievable. We all loved our food and the incredible service. When we ordered dessert they brought us a complimentary fruit platter. This place is amazing we don't have any place that treats you like this even in Northport. We dine at many fine restaurants and I have to tell you this was the best we've ever been treated anywhere. We will definitely be making the trip from Northport to come here and we know our nephew will frequently be eating at this restaurant. He's Italian and loved it here!

Came in after work on a Friday shortly after 5. There were only a few people already there when I…read morearrived. A few minutes later, two couples who are regulars arrived & sat at the bar near me. They told me that very soon I'll see the place packed with the usual Friday customers, and they were right! It was nice being included in conversation as if I was a regular along with them. The bartender greeted me promptly & gave me a drink & food menu. I ordered two lychee blossom drinks which I've had before, if I see a lychee drink on the menu I will usually go with that drink. Was given bread along with a white sauce that tasted good, one of the couples passed their marinara dish for me to try my bread with & that was good as well. I ordered meatballs from the appetizer menu to bring home, they were good as always. I knew they had different specials on different days and was hoping there was a happy hour menu at the bar, but I did not see any specials for Fridays.

We came in on a Friday night and had a great time. The vibe and decor is Tuscan with lots of brick and wood around giving a warm feeling. Adding to the warm feeling was the friendly staff - the hostess gave us a 4 top despite us only being 2. They must have knew how much food we were going to order haha. We were given bread with an interesting spread that was tasty, but still not sure what it was exactly. Ordered some red wines. We looked over the menu to decide on some dishes to share. Here's the run down: CARCIOFO BRASATE CON BURRATA BRAISED BABY ARTICHOKES, WITH PISTACHIO PESTO AND BURRATA This was really enjoyable and with creamy burrata and delicious pistachio pesto that was perfect with the tender baby artichokes PARMIGIANA DI MELANZANA Eggplant meatballs were so good with so much flavor - didn't miss the meat at all. Fantastic sauce with this as well. BIETOLA & FUNGHI salad ROASTED RED BEET, MARINATED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS, ORGANIC BABY ARUGULA, GOAT CHEESE, WHITE BALSAMIC VINEGAR DRESSING The presentation of this dish was impressive with circles of beets acting as bed for the salad. It was different from the usual chunks of beets in most salads. I enjoyed this salad SPAGHETTI AL LIMONE IMPORTED ORGANIC SPAGHETTI, MEYER LEMON, PARMIGGIANO, FRESH BASIL We asked the kitchen to split this dish for us and they accommodated. The cheesy lemony pasta was perfect and paired well with spicy shrimp dish we ordered. GAMBERI UBRIACATI WILD BLUE SHRIMP, SWEET CHERRY TOMATOES, PANCETTA, CORN, CRISPY BREAD, RED PEPPER FLAKES These shrimps were really incredibly tasty - I usually don't order shrimp dishes in restaurants because they usually give a bit of chlorinated taste. Not here. The sauce was spicy with the pancetta and corn adding sweetness. For dessert we shared the brownie topped with pistachio gelato. The brownie was unremarkable, but the gelato was good. The espressos were perfectly made. The place was busy all night with a few open tables - the service encouraged us to sit allowing us to really enjoy our night. A fantastic experience.
