As a karaoke aficionado, this place has always been on my radar. It is a mile from my home and they have always offered live singing for years. But tonight I grabbed a dinner at the bar while I waited to sing. And let me tell you, the food is excellent too. The Caesar salad is particularly tasty, and I added a rigatoni bolognese on this pasta night (what a wonderful deal). Big chunks of braised beef highlight a tomato sauce, which has just a bit too much bite to it. All in all a very satisfying meal. Can't wait to try the calamari and more next time. read more

Had crab cake as an appetizer. It was amazing. Shared a chicken caesar salad with my wife. I love their lasagna. One of the best around. And for entertainment as always the best groups with 50's thru 70's. The oldies music is kept alive at La Focaccia. Enjoy everyone Tell them Ira sent you read more

Good food. Very good specials. Friendly owner. Great lounge for an excellent musical experience. Mostly 50s, 60s, and karaoke twice a week.

Very family friendly experience. The food is alway fresh and delicious. And, great specials. Live music certain nights. A+

So I haven't visited this place at least before Covid and today I happen to stop by for a quick slice of plain cheese. This was the worst slice I have had in a very long time. Absolutely no flavor and everything about it was not good, the ingredients did not seem fresh at all. I do realize everyone is still struggling and trying to stay afloat but it was really bad. I believe it s still the original owner that I saw behind the register and it was obvious that he is going through some rough times. Even though it was not the greatest please show your support for this business maybe we can help him recover and help him improve. Good luck ..... read more

I've been to La Foccacia a few times. Mostly to pop by for Karaoke with Curtis! The food I've had there is good! I love the pasta I got last time with mozzarella cheese and spinach. It was rigatoni. I basically copied my boyfriend's request except his had chicken in it. I've also sampled the pizza here as well. To drink I've only had seltzer or water because I don't drink alcohol. For some reason Monday nights here with Curtis seem way more hoppin' than Thursday nights. He gets the crowd jumpin! read more

Great food and service. The owner Sal Panetta is a super guy. There's entertainment there twice a week and also karaoke twice a week.

My family has been coming here for years, amazing service, friendly staff, food is always amazing. Great for a quick slice, or even a nice evening dinner, and we've had multiple family parties here and rented out the side room, they also catered our wedding, 2 communions, baptisms, and we love coming back! Sal is great and always makes sure everything is perfect. read more

Stopped in Monday night for a fun evening of karaoke. Colleen was serving up delicious cold drinks, yummy baked pretzels and perfectly cooked hamburgers. Sal, the owner was there to make sure everything was running smoothly. He has the best personality keeping the bar crowd laughing and having a great time. I saw delicious looking homemade lentil soup being served and sumptuous pasta dishes! It's an Italian restaurant so you can be assured all the dishes are authentic and so tasty! I've had many a good time there whether I go with friends or on my own. I always get a warm welcome and honestly I can't wait to come back. Sal has the best groups singing doo wop, Motown or popular hits . Check their lineup and get ready for a fun night! You won't be disappointed! read more

I decided to give this place a try since it's close to my job so I did. The first time I went, I got a penne alla vodka slice (that was a year ago) and it was decent. I decided to go back and get myself a chicken roll. When I asked for it, the guy picked it up with his bare hands! He didn't wear any gloves while handling the food!!! So disgusting. For all I know he could've went to the bathroom and not washed his hands and now he's touching the food! Absolutely disgusting! I ended up tossing my chicken roll in the garbage. The guy who works at the front just seems like so whatever about his business and seems like he just doesn't care at all. I honestly wish there was a better pizza place to replace this one. I'm surprised this place hasn't closed down yet. I will absolutely not be returning! read more

Live within walking distance and still will never be back. Plain slice was the worst I've had and the soda was warm!! Guy said to take a cup of ice and it will be cold in five minutes!! How long does one slice (a horrible one at that!!) take to eat!! Place used to be so good and it's gone horribly down hill and not because of Covid. So many other pizza options that I will never walk in this place again!! read more

Went for the first time, appearance is pleasant. Wait staff attentive. Ate the fried calamari, chicken parmigiana, pasta with zucchini and ricotta, seafood fra Diablo read more

Excellent excellent restaurant. Love very much their eggplant parmigiana. Love the doo wop twist. Oh and I love the chocolate mousse.

Amazing food, cooked fresh and the chef will entertain special requests (Mom always asks for everything extra spicy)! every staff member is so friendly-you feel at home day 1--so much so my family and I have been coming back every week. There are specials for various days of the week-but even without them, the prices are excellent. Truly a treasure in the neighborhood. read more

Horrible food, tried several times over the past 18 years. Still horrible. Very salty, greasy, similar to Olive Garden, and take out people very nasty inappropriate behavior. Not to mention the live bands that play there are LOUD! They practice in the parking lot and when performing inside the restaurant opens the back doors & the "bands"play with the doors open that if you live within a few block radius you can hear them with your A/C on. Come on. Try getting a 2 year old to go to sleep with all this noise. They cooks, and servers like to hang out in the back of the restaurant parking lot and blast their music late night/early morning. No consideration for the community. STAY AWAY!!!!! read more

Went there the other night, girl friend had Manicotti-terrible! Pasta was tough-had to cut through it with a knife. Filling looked like wet saw dust and it was dry with no taste. Girl friend offered some to me and I agreed how lousy it was. Looked like they bought it frozen from a super market and it was way past its experation date. My Chicken francese was not much ,better, a little tough around the ends. The sauce on the penne was tastless, like it was water and flour with a drop of lemon juice. Like the Keraoke with Curtiss but food stinks. read more

Italian with a Doo Wop twist. This place has been going strong since they began with having live oldies (doo-wop) music almost every Friday night in the restaurant side. Food is still great and Sal the owner is there to greet everyone. Definitely a go-to place! Parking in front and rear. read more

Most of our Disabled American Veteran chapter members are seniors. Currently they include American combat veterans who have served this great nation during WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and others. For many years we held our annual holiday celebration in different venue. This year that venue was closed so we had to find another. By search and word of mouth we found La Focaccia in Levittown. They offered us a good deal, so we booked with them and are we so very glad we did! We had our holiday celebration a few days ago and we were blown away by the service the owner/host, The owner/host, Sal Panetta, and his staff gave us, making La Focaccia the most vet friendly restaurant we've ever encountered! Not only was there. No limit on food and beverage, but the wait staff went above and beyond to be agreeable and helpful. Sal demonstrated he is totally dedicated to veterans, not only by his treatment of us but in general. Even after we agreed to terms, he gave us charged for fewer members than attended, donating the value of those meals back to our post. If there was an Academy Award for Vet Friendly Venue, Sal Panetta would, no doubt, receive that!! We cannot find the words to properly thank him and his staff for their treatment of our brother and sister veterans. We want all to know of this gratitude and of our highest recommendation for La Focaccia! read more

Came to this place about a half hour ago with my girlfriend and we ordered two plain slices, garlic knots and marsala slice and she had half the slice and realized that there was a roach in it i wouldn't go here ever again that was so nasty to see in a slice read more

While I haven't had the pleasure of yet eating here myself, I wanted to shoutout La Focaccia for the incredible family experience Sal and his team provided for my girlfriends family! Brought together by rather unexpected circumstances, their entire family looked to Sal for an old school family dinner - La Focaccia delivered 5 Stars on that experience! Homemade zeppole and cannoli made by Sal himself, inviting atmosphere, and the ability to accommodate longtime family friends, La Focaccia is more than just good Italian food.. It's a part of the family! read more

Went to see a wonderful band play and for the price we expected at least decent food. The antipasto salad was small and the fried calamari was soggy. Then came our main meal. I had Eggplant Parmigiana, which is traditionally made with ricotta. This had none. My husband had a chicken dish that was dry and tiny in portion. Except for the wonderful entertainment, it was completely not worth eating there. read more

Wouldn't recommend this place, the food is greasy, over priced & should have just stayed a pizza place

Food isn't great and their health violations record is terrible. But it would at least be nice if the neighborhood crap hole could stay open as per their hours. Closed today way before 10pm. Guess I should say thanks for saving me from the runs. read more

Very poor service. He was rude and even though we were a large party, he rushed us to order and stressed us out. The calamari was undercooked and lacked salt. The chicken piccata was old and the sauce had no flavor. My brother had the chicken focaccia and the ham was old and tasted bad. My pasta was very hard and undercooked As someone who comes from an Italian family and cooks it often, I can't stress enough NOT to eat here. We were here for our friend who was the entertainment. read more

Avoid this place unless you like rude people. I called the other day to order a pie with 3 of the slices of pepperoni on it. The guy tells me, he can't do that. He can give me a pie with 4 slices of pepperoni on it, half a pie. I said, I don't need 4 slices, can't you just give me 3 slices with pepperoni? This rude idiot, who has only so so reviews to begin with, , and barely any customers parked in front of his place, says to me, can't you just take 4 slices of pepperoni? Really? Stupid! If I could use 4 slices of pepperoni, I would have asked for 4 slices. I hung up and ordered from my new pizza place who had no questions, no problems giving us only 3 slices of pepperoni in our pie. Thank you Porto Fino in levittown. read more

Went there for dinner with my girl friend and to see my friends perform. I was there one other time and had a issue with the "BUS BOY" THEY CALL A WAITER. So, we order with our table of 8. First of all, the dinners come out in dribs and drabs. Some had to begin eating before others so as not to let their dinner get cold. My girl friend ordered Chilian sea bass. $29.99. That is fine. When her dinned came out, it was HALF the size of what it should have been. The fish looked broken and it appeared that the other part was to make another dinner. The veggies were of a poor portion also. If that isn't enough, I paid with cash. The so called waited NEVER RETURNED MY CHANGE. A tip is optional. Of course, all leave one but it is not proper not to return change to a client. I think you get the picture. I will NEVER, NEVER return here and either should anyone. This is the worst place I have ever eaten in. The waiters are unfriendly and you get the feeling that you bother them if you request something. I eat out often but NEVER again at this place. Thank you for listening. Hope this review helps you make your decision as where to dine and where NOT to dine. V. BACCALA read more

Food was bad. Waiter could not care less. Go somewhere else for your own sake. And DO NOT get the fried calamari! The chicken was store bought and frozen the prosciutto was fake ham, everything tasted old like it was on the verge of going bad. read more

Just ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo and it was absolutely tasteless. That's honestly an understatement. It was oily, bland, flavorless... Never going back to this place. I should have listened to the many bad reviews! If I can give it zero stars I would. read more

We visited this restaurant and what a big disappointment it was! The food was not authentic Italian food it was more on the level of the Olive Garden! Nothing was home made it all tasted frozen. The best thing that was happening there was the DJ! The music was great and his wife was a great singer!! But unfortunately we won't be going back bc the food was not Quality!! Mr DJ take your music to a better restaurant please!! read more

I was just there today and that was the worst pizza I have ever tasted . There was no seasoning on the pizza at all, really tasteless. The Parmesan cheese and garlic didn't help enhancing the tasteless pizza. Horrible they won't get my money again. read more

This is a great neighborhood restaurant which caters to its local the food and prices are great as well as their pizza give it a try you won't be disappointed have been gioing here for years and Never had a bad meal read more

Great pizza!!! We are never disappointed with anything we get. Tonight we had the grandma pie and as usual our pie was delicious. Besides the top notch quality of the food Sal always provides top notch customer service. It's always a pleasure to deal with him and eat his food. We highly recommend La Focaccia. read more

I'm so upset right now. We ordered 2 slices of the spinach and artichoke pizza. It was specifically said we want just vegetables. It was confirmed it was only vegetables. I ate half a slice. I spit it out. There was bacon in there. I'm absolutely disgusted. I'm a vegetarian and it is against my religion. I have only eaten this a number of times in my life which is when I learned to always ask. This absolutely ruined my night. read more

My bff and I love to find places where we can enjoy a pleasant meal and have room to play or Scrabble. If you eat in the pizzeria area of La Focaccia as we often have done, you can socialize. My former Kiwanis club used to meet there on Thursday nights where the food was tasty, the service prompt and personable and the entertainment on special nights highly enjoyable. I wish the variety of pizza was as wide as in Riellas or Domenico's in Levittown or Villa Monte's in Plainview/Old Bethpage but this is a nice, average, place for pizza with above average ambience an d eterfaiinment. read more

My family has been coming here for years, Sal the owner is a nice guy however the business itself is lacking. The worst part of the business is the older gentleman behind the counter, he's been there for years, the one who makes the pizzas and takes your order. Every time I come in for an order I am not even greeted with a "hello" or "how are you" , not even a "what can I get you?" He just looks at you and stares or nods his head. Then when he rings you up and hands you the food, not even a "thank you" or "have a good day" just hands you your card back and walks away. The worst customer service I've honestly experienced from a pizzeria. It's happened numerous times and I always come back as the food is moderately good and it is local, however I don't think I'll be back again. Learn to make your customers feel wanted, we are the ones who are paying... read more

This place is a staple in the west village green community. I can still remember the old pizza place with the fruit punch fountain soda. It hurts me to do so but take note I judge mostly on the pizza. The restaurant is beautiful and as far as I can remember the food was great. But over the years the pizza has gone down in quality. The sauce is very thin and watery the cheese is good but the crust varies. I also feel I should reveal the fact that they have once delivered me a re-heated pizza pie. I've worked as a delivery boy once and I eat pizza at least once or twice or four times a week. I know for sure you never deliver a re-heated pie that's a huge no no! I know some of my fellow east village greeners are going to be upset by this review but hey I have to be honest. read more
