An industrial door by a brick wall is guarded by someone with a headset. We gave the name for our reservation and were given instructions for what to do upon entering (see video).

Our server steered me in the right direction with an elderberry drink and it was so yummy I downed them. Also, hats off to Station Yards for putting this place in.

From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between high-energy "Excellent Vibes" and the cozy warmth of a neighborhood trattoria. The Atmosphere & Service The "vibe" here isn't just marketing--it's palpable. Whether it's the dimly lit, stylish interior or the buzz of happy diners, the restaurant feels alive. * The Staff: Truly the backbone of the experience. The service is attentive without being overbearing, and the team seems to genuinely care that you're enjoying your meal. They know the menu inside and out, which is helpful when you're torn between three different pastas. The Food This is where Vespa really shines. In a world of "Italian-inspired" chains, Vespa feels refreshingly authentic. * Authenticity: You won't find over-sauced, soggy plates here. Instead, expect high-quality ingredients, perfectly al dente pasta, and sauces that taste like they've been simmering since sunrise. * Flavor Profile: The seasoning is spot-on--bold where it needs to be, but subtle enough to let the freshness of the basil, olive oil, and tomatoes speak for themselves.

I don't want to be too harsh on this newly opened restaurant, due to supposed circumstances they…read moreclaimed to happen on Christmas Eve. I would have given 1 star, if the staff, when present, wasn't so nice. Here was our experience: 6 PM Christmas Eve Reservation for 7 people. Showed up on time. No Hostess greeting. It took several minutes by the worker, sitting at a table directly in front of us, to realize that we should be greeted/seated. The restaurant was far from packed. There were many empty tables, and maybe 3 groups between 10 and 20 people. Menu looked decent. Ordered beverages. It took a quite a while for waiter (very nice/friendly) to take food order and a while to be served appetizers/salad. Baked clams were good. The spinach salad was slightly wilted from sitting in the kitchen heat, the onions were clearly not sliced by a chef (big inedible chunks), goat cheese was scarce, and salad barely dressed. It was 7:30 PM (1.5 hours post arrival) when the main course was served. We were starving! My father's chicken Francaise was cold and lacked sauce, but didn't want to complain. So my brother got warm sauce for him. The rest of us didn't know at this time that all meals were sub-par, luke-warm or almost cold. All of the food appeared to be sitting a while, except for the stuffed fish dish. All meals, except for the stuffed rigatoni Bolognese came with broccoli (no other choice available). The broccoli was too cold for the frozen butter to melt on it. The rigatoni was topped off with a marinara sauce that took away from the Bolognese, and was clearly sitting for some time. My nephew had to use the Francaise sauce on his beef to try to warm it, as the wait staff (very few of them) disappeared. Refill requests for beverages were not served. Empty water glasses sat for at least 1/2 hour and never was refilled. No one checked to see how our dinner was while we were eating...they knew the response they would get. We would have walked out, but it was Christmas Eve and we wouldn't get in anywhere else. It was either eat what we got, or starve. When the waiter (possibly one of the owners) finally appeared, He was clearly exhausted from running around. We wanted to be kind, as he was informed the food could have been good if it was served warm. The excuse we got was that a cook cut his hand badly and had to leave, and they were short on wait staff, as many didn't show up. He was cooking and waiting tables. This was not our problem. We tried to be sympathetic. The waiter disappeared again. When I found him was going to give us a $50 gift card to come back again. This really was not an option because my parents are elderly, I was in town from the West Coast, just for the holiday, and the rest of my family works shift work. It was an act of God that all of us could have dinner together this night. He took $50 off the bill. It should have been more. But, it was a holiday and we felt bad for him.

This place would get a 3.5, but I'm rounding down for reasons I will say in the review…read more I started off by seeing this place by searching for fish and chips. Seeing they had a Wednesday special, I decided to put off my adventure from Roslyn to Ronkonkoma from Monday to Wednesday. I also found a bunch of things I was interested in to pad my experience and make the drive worth it. The waitress came quickly, got our drink orders, took a few minutes, and we started our order. I started off by getting the Fire Island Fries, the Flanagan's Nachos minus Jalapenos and Chipotle Ranch, sub the chicken in, the Fish and Chips special with additional pay for French Onion Soup and Curry sauce, and my friend got the Penne Alla Vodka add chicken. I asked how the Mozzarella sticks were and she said they were very popular so I got those as well. We'll start with my addition. The mozzarella sticks are good. Fried properly, not raw, not burnt, you get I believe 9 in an order. I greatly enjoyed them, however I would never pay more than a buck for a small brick of cheese. They were great, but not that great. The nachos were very barebones, something getting them at full capacity wouldn't have done much for. The queso is gross, and put me off from eating too much. The avocado was a single, sliced avocado which is fine, but pretty hard to eat with chips. The chicken was a bit of an issue, not tasting great. The fire island fries were good, I enjoyed the flavor change, but I feel like some cheddar would have made them from "good" to "amazing". Adding cheddar to my leftovers later confirmed that. The french onion soup was the shiniest turd I've had the experience of eating. It is the best of the worst, in every way. The cheese tastes a bit off, the broth did't have much flavor or salt, the onions were sour, and overall it looks tremendous, proper quality, but tasted like I was eating expired progresso with some sour cheese melted over it. I love proper French Onion soup, but this was very difficult to force myself to eat. The penne alla vodka was fine, but they could have added more salt, it just felt a little bland. The chicken was hard and dry. It didn't work with the dish itself, it felt like eating two different things at once, neither of them tasting as good as they should. The fish and chips were the real star. The fish was as crunchy as you expect, the chips were proper chips. The curry was hot but delicious, everything was absolutely fantastic. If I was reviewing on the fish and chips alone, this place would absolutely get five dtars. But they need to work on the other areas of their menu, they're heavily dragging this place down. I also got the donut with ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce. A donut from dunkin would have been better in my opinion, and you would save $10 assembling everything yourself. Finally, the service. It was very here and there. At first, we were getting checked up on often, but at the end, there was a good 20 minute stint where they wouldn't show up at our table and we had to flag them over to get our check. I'm not rating this against them, but I would have liked a little more observation. It was a one and done place, with excellent fish and chips this side of the pond. If I was closer, this would be a Wednesday night thing, but I'm too far to justify that.

My wife isn't here so waffles with bacon for me! The waffle was good, typical diner food that always welcomed. Of course, like every diner they have a syrup pouches and individual pats of butter. Then the half and half mini cups, I think we had a mountain of plastic after we finished our meal. The diner, it's a very large space. They also have counter service if you are dining solo.

Being from NY originally, I was craving a hard roll and what better to have on it but rare roast beef with lettuce and mayo. I was in luck! I ordered and it was delivered as I expected along with complimentary pickle and cole slaw. It was an extremely cold day so hot tea was the beverage of choice.
