They had interesting taco variations but I like my tacos more traditional & double wrapped. Mesquite was recommended to me by a friend so I hoped it would be amazing.

That's it.

I paid $74.14 for two steak burritos with fajita veggies and extra steak, one chicken burrito with extra chicken, and two orders of empanadas. I paid an additional $3 on each burrito for extra meat, and I even left a tip when I picked up the order. For that price, I expected the amount of meat to at least reflect what you'd normally receive in a regular burrito. Unfortunately, it didn't even come close. All three burritos had almost no meat in them. There wasn't what I would consider a normal portion of steak or chicken, never mind the extra portion I specifically paid for. The burritos were overwhelmingly rice, beans, veggies, and tortilla with barely any protein. The two orders of empanadas were equally disappointing. They were basically pockets of air with a small amount of cheese inside. I completely understand that restaurants have to manage food costs and portion sizes, but if you're charging customers an extra $3 for additional steak or chicken, they should actually receive it. Spending $74.14, paying extra for meat, and leaving a tip only to open the food and find portions like these was incredibly disappointing. I don't like criticizing a local business, and there's a reason I've never written a negative review before. But this was bad enough that I felt other customers should know what my experience was. I would steer clear of this place. Based on my experience, there seemed to be very little concern for whether customers actually received what they paid for. I certainly won't be ordering from here again.

Ruggero's: A Taste of Heavenly Cavatelli…read more My wife and I recently returned to Ruggero's specifically so I could enjoy their homemade cavatelli in a Bolognese sauce. We started with the fried calamari, which were delicious. The service was a highlight of our visit. Our waitress was not only lovely and helpful but also ensured our drinks arrived promptly and with a smile. When I requested a plain marinara Bolognese, the accommodation was made without a problem, which speaks volumes about the kitchen's flexibility and the staff's dedication. Did I say that the service is excellent? The restaurant itself is large and clearly a popular venue--a wedding was hosted during our dinner, and the music was on the loud side. For those looking for value, the portion to price ratio here is great, a quality that extends to their lunch menu as well. Pro-Tip: If you're in the mood for pasta, consider going on a "Pasta Night" (Monday or Tuesday) for a good deal. Parking is available, though there is a short walk from the lot to the entrance. Ruggero's provides excellent service, great value, and fantastic pasta. I highly recommend it.

Well it's Friday and I'm trying to reinstitute "Friday Date Night". Sometimes life get complicated and it's been awhile. Okay, let's see if Matt was right. First we look over the drink menu. I'm thinking if I can get enough booze into Mrs. E this might turn out to be a great date night. Review to follow. LOL Nothing jumps out at me but their Moctails look good, so I ask if they can add alcohol to it. Sure is the answer. Ok a little known fact. When Mrs. E has a drink her face turns bright red. With this drink, no change in complexion. I call our waiter over. C'mon man you have to work with me. He returns with two shots of liquor. Yes there it is, red face. Ok enough personal stuff. Next the food. We start with Baked clams. These were really good. Next we order entrees. Mrs. E has some kind of Chicken Kabobs. I don't really care I'm busy keeping an eye on her drink. I had the soy glazed salmon. Not really a fish guy but it's a long story and you've already heard too much personal stuff. Both meals good and I may start liking fish more. BTW, our waiter was Avery. Not sure about spelling but he was pretty good. All and all a good night and meal. So why 4 Stars? Although Avery was a good waiter, service was slow, very slow. Oh a side note, we were sitting near the bar and there was a woman/bar fly type over drinking and kind of being a spectacle. A little entertainment I guess. So will I go back. Yes we will. Oh the review of Mrs. E and the drinks. Hmmm I leave that for another time. Hey Matt N, I mostly agree with your review

All of this, yet the food was still quite good despite all the misfortunes and mis-steps. I don't even know how to rate them ... 3.5 seems right, so do I go 4 stars for the solid flavors, or do l go with 3 because the pizza needed a third ingredient for complexity and a lot less grease, the white bean soup was made with red kidney beans, and the meatballs were in an ounce of this sauce... But that short rib pie could be something really special, I added a balsamic drizzle, even great with some horseradish. We definitely want to explore the menu more, am I right?

He says hello, welcomes you, and makes sure you know something about his offerings. Sure, its a small place and sometimes they are very busy and do not have all the time in the world to chat, but ask any question and Dean is happy to help! Maria is soft-spoken and kind, and the food is always top notch. Service can be slow at the counter, they have been understaffed a few times while I was there, just Dean and Maria.

Hands Down BESSSSTTT pizza in suffolk! Im a big pizza fanatic and am very picky on my crust, cheese, and sauce and these guys put it together right. The crust especially is one of a kind. The quality of their food is over the top. I drive 15-20 minutes just to get a slice. Well worth the drive. Employees are super courteous and will cater to any need no questions. Overly impresed with the cleanliness as well. I have been coming here since they opened and always leave happy and impressed with the huge selection and variety they provide.There is always atleast two or three different pies of some crazy ideas put together and slapped on a pizza everytime I come. Everything is always fresh and if they dont have something you want they will make it on the spot. I would say La Bistro takes pizza to a whole different level and the service is always impeccable. read more

My wife and I make a weekly trip here, and sometimes multi trips. The pizza is great, and they have a great selection. It can get busy during dinner hours and weekends, but that just shows you how good it is. They have plenty of people to work the counter and get the orders out. Small dinning area, but there dinners are good, never had a complaint. It's worth the small trip I make (about a 10 min drive) for a taste of their chicken chipolte pizza. read more
