    I order pizza with sausage, was the worst I had. The tomato sauce was watery had no taste and mozzarella cheese was not authentic. The crust on the pizza was tasteless. To say it is an Italian restaurant is beyond me. This was the first time I visited this establishment and will be the last. As a business owner and traveler, the waiter did not seem friendly and never approached if everything was good. I left a tip above 15% and they did not say thank you. I had to go to the register to pay and ask for my bill. I will stay with authentic Italian restaurants in New York City in Little Italy. If I can give a zero for the food , I would. Stay away from this restaurant.

    Every thing was good till I found a bug in the salad!!!!!! Called to report, they did refund it through Uber eats, but the girl said the manager would call me for a gift card and that never happen

    Pollo with added fried eggplant
    Steph C.

    We ordered delivery at 1045 it didnt come until 1220. My lunch is only from 12-1 so i was getting nervous not to mention also hungry... I ordered the panini with grilled chicken broccoli rabe and smoked mozzarella i asked for extra fried eggplant on it. Even without the added ehgplant it needed something. Maybe a tapenade or aioli It was good and hot when it arrived but wish it came earlier

    Steak and Gorgonzola cheese salad

    I travel a lot and stayed in the same hotel in Roslyn, New York for 2 nights. Tonight I had the steak salad which was fantastic. I remembered to take a picture this time. Last night I had the grilled salmon with pear and beets, and it was so good I ate it before I had time to take the picture. If you are looking for a hearty salad for a meal, this is the place!

    this is our $6 order of fries that la bottega isn't responsible for because we ordered through ubereat

    I am so tired of the rude staff at this location. I live local and we frequently order from here, and the staff is just unbelievably rude. In the past, I have waited for pick up orders up to a half hour they weren't ready, had food items missing, poor quality sandwiches, and inconsistent quality of food. Tonight, we experienced another round of horrific we don't care customer service. We ordered delivery through ubereats and when I unpacked the order the side of fries ($6) was a quarter of the way full, cold and literally just burnt small pieces in the box. I called and the rude women just gave me attitude first saying that there was no record of our order, but showed that we ordered yesterday (which we did not) she then went on to tell me that there is nothing that she can do because we ordered through ubereats. Does ubereats make the order? because last time I checked, they are a delivery service. There was no apology, but she did say that Giuseppe would call me back to see if there's anything he can do. How hard is it to refund fries? Also, this happened 45 minutes ago, no phone call and I don't expect there to be. Our sandwiches tonight were also disappointing, felt like left over scraps, My potenza sandwich and the pietro each had just one piece of the eggplant and chicken on it. It's a roll of the dice if you're going to have a good meal BUT you can 100% expect rude, horrible attitude from staff every time if you have a poor situation that you want to fix (this women has done this many times before) Learn how to speak to people, especially costumers. I think we are done here for good. *update: Giuseppe did call and he was very nice, and gave us 3 orders of free fries in the future. He did the right thing but still turned off by the other staff. Thanks Giuseppe!

    Deceiving advertisement

    Ordered through their Ubereats platform where it clearly advertised a free hat if your order reaches $50 minimum. Ordered additional items and addons just to reach the minimum to find out that they did not include the hat in the order when delivered. Called the restaurant and they said they have been out of stock for a while and "sorry" with an attitude. I asked if there was anything else that could be done and she just said "nope", no form of apology or anything. The lack of professionalism here is disappointing.

    TLDR: LI outpost of a popular Italian chain from the city. Prefix lunch is priced well but portions…read moreare a bit on the smaller side. It's small but nice in here, had always known about Il Mulino but just recently tried it. Got two prefix lunches. They provide a complimentary bread basket with focaccia, some parmigiano and zucchini chips. Starters we chose beef carpaccio and octopus. The carpaccio is classic, pounded thin, shaved parmigiano and a lemony arugula salad on top. The octopus is tender and served with pickled onions and a frisee salad. Mains, did the lobster ravioli and the steak frites. Large size ravioli but three pieces, so they do go quickly. The lobster is mixed in with the ricotta which is quite soft. The steak portion was decent but keep in mind also a $10 add-on. Cooked a bit more well than I'd like but the sauce was good. Desserts were a panna cotta and flourless chocolate cake. The panna cotta has a more bouncy jello-like consistency. Chocolate cake was good. Not bad options for a PF lunch but definitely standard menu will add up fast.

There was a small parking lot and upon entry parts of the place was still under renovation. Since we had early dinner there were families dining and the place was overall empty. Our server was knowledgeable and was upselling alcohol to my husband. When he told the server he wanted ginger ale, the server stated that they did not have ginger ale so he had to settle for a glass of wine. We ordered from the Sunday Supper prix fixe menu. We received complimentary bread, salami and zucchini. For the appetizers we ordered the eggplant rollatini, mussels and minestrone soup. For the main entrees I ordered the ravioli al porcini with truffle and veal marsala. I loved the ravioli with truffle. Portions were small. Dessert was served with a sampler of cake slices. I would definitely love to return especially that their prix menus have been expanded but unfortunately they do not have the items we ordered in their current prix fixe menus.

    Five of us were there on a Wednesday for dinner and were able to order off the $40 three-course…read morespecial menu, which was more extensive than others we've seen. Like most three-course special menus, there are upcharges for various selections. Sometimes in retrospect I regret ordering three courses because a single entrée is sufficient. That was the case here because I was almost full after eating their chopped salad appetizer and the heated Italian bread and butter that preceded the entrée. I was surprised because an appetizer salad is often a small or medium sized plate, but here it's a full sized platter. Also, I ate it all, when I could've taken home half. Ditto for my entrée, their chicken marsala. I know that some of our friends purposely take home half of everything, so they get two meals out of one order. My decision, however, piggy as sounds, was that one of their included desserts was the tiramisu, which I have trouble resisting ... to the point where I try to sample them in as many restaurants and bakeries as possible, as if someday, somewhere, I'll submit an article on the subject ... "Tiramisus of Long Island and NYC." The food and service were very good, we had a large round table in the back, that made it easy for us to talk, a nice tablecloth and thick napkins, but I've had better tiramisu. A free glass of white or red wine came with the special, but I didn't like mine and should, like my son, have gotten a diet Coke instead (a permissible substitution). The parking situation was a minor hassle in that there was no valet, and while a sign in front of the restaurant suggested parking in the lot across the street, when we went there, the signs said that after 5:30 PM they'll tow you away, so we found a spot in the neighborhood and walked a few blocks. We'd be happy to go back, although there are Italian restaurants just as good that are closer to where we live. This Matteo's was half way between where we five reside, and convenience matters, especially on a weekday night.

    What a turnaround! My prior review was from 3 years ago when the restaurant was called Sandro's and…read morebefore the renovation. We would not have come back except we had plans with friends who wanted to meet here. So glad we did! My main complaint before was the acoustics. The renovation with added decor to dampen noise did the trick. I didn't even notice that the restaurant was full. We ordered different dishes and ate it family style so got to try a few different dishes. I didn't order so don't know the specific names but we shared a salad, a spicy calamari, egg yolk ravioli, black linguini with seafood, catfish, and a veal parm. I especially enjoyed the ravioli. Flavors were nice on all the dishes. I don't know if it was the company but I didn't notice a lapse in service. The servers were attentive. The parking was still ample. I'm glad we came back and a little regretful that we waited so long.

    Let me start by saying this was hands down one of the most exceptional dining experiences I've had…read morein a long time. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was truly next-level. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and every single person from the host to the bartender to our server and everyone in between played a part in making the night feel special. The attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine kindness did not go unnoticed, and it set the tone for the entire evening. We were first greeted with warm bread and olive oil, which was absolutely delightful and the perfect start. Our server, Paulino (I hope I'm spelling his name right), guided us through the menu with such care and knowledge, which made the experience even better. We started with the mussels Bianco and baked clams both were outstanding, easily a 9/10. Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. For our entrées, we had the branzino and a pasta dish that was nothing short of amazing. The attention to detail like freshly cracked pepper added right at the table made everything feel elevated and thoughtfully done. To end the night, I mentioned that my mom had just passed her real estate exam and that we were celebrating her. They went above and beyond by bringing out an apple crostini with a candle, which was such a thoughtful and memorable touch. And yes, we devoured the entire thing. It was that good. Truly a 10000/10 moment. What made this experience even more meaningful is that it came after a long, stressful day at the ER. Walking into such warmth, care, and genuine hospitality meant more than I can put into words. Thank you again for the incredible service, attentiveness, and overall experience. I truly wish I could remember everyone's names because each person we encountered was a pleasure. Please let them know my mom and I are so grateful. We dined on April 3rd around 9 PM, and it's a night we won't forget.

For appetizer, we ordered the crispy calamari. The batter was very light and the calamari itself was so delicate and sweet. You can definitely tell how fresh the seafood is and that stayed true for the rest of our meal. For pastas, we got the spaghetti fra diavolo containing lobster and shrimp. Again, the seafood was fresh, sweet, and tender. The pasta was also a shocker, not only was it perfectly firm, it had such a nice chewy texture. You can feel and taste how homemade the pasta is. Next, the rigatoni eggplant was our unexpected favorite. The pasta texture was even better with the rigatoni shape and the eggplant was not even noticeable, it blended in so well with the sauce. The ricotta on top was the perfect creamy addition. For proteins, the pork chop was very tender and juicy. The sweet glaze wasn't overly sweet and it really complimented the savoriness of the meat. The brussel sprouts on this dish were also outstanding. I love when a restaurant doesn't treat the veggies as a side dish! The branzino was light and refreshing, it was a really great balance to the other saucier dishes we had. The service was extremely attentive and so friendly. They really took care of us and made sure we enjoyed our meal.
