It was very oily when re - air fried - $5 grandma slice - slice is very small and thin for price. Solid taste but not big enough to warrant $5. $4-$4.25 is better Underwhelmed with my 1st time at umbertos. Known for being the first ever grandma slice maker, I found the slice too thin for the price point. Overall, the prices are high for all the items. The taste was average as well. The plus was the dine in experience where you get a bread basket of French bread and garlic knots. I dont think I will be coming back unfortunately.

The vegetables were better. I had seafood lasagna another day. The sauce was orange, not pink as it indicated on the menu, and was too thick. The carrots could have been chopped finer and perhaps cooked longer, and the other vegetables could have been cooked longer as well. There could have been more lobster. The eggplant parmigiana was good, although a bit bland. The broccoli is done well. The red pepper flake flask was sticky. The tiramisu was fresh and good with ample cinnamon, a good difference from French desserts. The French tend to like cinnamon in their meat dishes.

Ive now also tried the marsala (lots of chicken and very saucey) and the penne (honestly a delish carb overload, not sure i would get it but it was tasty). Ive only had it at work so I havent ordered from them personally but I also heard they are very sweet people

I should have stayed in bed today; it's been THAT kind of day. I'd give it zero stars but the…read moreworkers there were cordial and seemed like nice guys. Sorry I won't sound that way in this review. I don't jump on YELP to review right away unless something's really got me irritated and fed-up. The Ambiance is basic pizza place IMHO.. Plenty of tables and space. I've eaten pizza and pasta dishes for at least 65 of my 70+ years on this earth and worked in a pizza place during the late 70s-early 80's and I KNOW my pizza AND pasta, especially the sauce. Today's baked ziti and baked stuffed shells was literally out of this world, meaning it tasted like it came from an alien, possibly one of those we've been hearing about on the MSM news. It Was HORRIBLE! No, I don't have pictures because I do NOT have a cell phone or a cam. My wife does but she is not home today. Trust me, I do NOT knock pizza places unless it is well deserved, like this place. This was the 3rd time I've tried this place. The 1st time I ordered the same as today. It was delicious. The 2nd time I ordered a round cheeses pie which was a bit too well done for me, so not satisfied. The very 1st time I had just a slice or 2 and was very satisfied, which is why I went back. Today, I'm sorry I decided to stop there. It's a total waste of $27 as I can't even eat this. It looks and tasted like leftover food from last night. The stuffed shells were way overcooked. So soft that when I attempted to transfer to a big bowl, they fell apart. Too soft and the "ricotta" was not creamy or melted. It looked like ricotta does when it's gone bad. I was afraid to eat it, THAT'S how bad it looked. I did TRY it along with the baked ziti, but not good at all. So, you might wonder how the baked ziti was? HA! NOT GOOD AT ALL! The ziti tasted as it looked. Overcooked. Some brown "burn" spots on the mozz, (very little cheese) and the same "expired looking" ricotta. I tried a couple fork fulls but it tasted burnt to me. well done, burnt and dry. Sorry guys but this was horrible and unacceptable. This was to be for my wife and me tonight. Now I'll just make my own, which I'm quite capable of and KNOW it will be edible and much much better than the garbage I was given today. I would call but the convo would not be pretty since I'm in a rotten mood, so I am just writing it here. I won't waste my time or gas in bringing it back. This place is NOT around the corner. I was just passing by again so I figured I'd get some hot food. I should've stuck with the pizza. I mean really; how do you screw up baked ziti and shells? There's 3 ingredients plus the pasta. The Ricotta HAD to be bad to begin with and then the overcooking it compounded it - or vice-versa. I hate throwing away food but this is going in the garbage AFTER I get my wife to take a couple pics. Both meals are in a big bowl, mixed together since the shells fell apart and I THOUGHT maybe the ziti could be salvaged using some of the sauce from the shells but even then, it tasted horrible. Obviously, Enzo's is off my fav. places to eat pizza/pasta list. It does take the #1 worst ziti and shells spot though. So bad I wouldn't even want another order if offered. I'll take the loss. It's not the first time I've wasted cash. Live and learn. Calda, Positano's, Sbarro's, Gino's and a couple other places nearer to me have yet to disappoint, so I'll stay with them. So now, having just wasted $27 and annoyed at that thoughh it could've been worse, I'm going to drink my blues away with a beer or 3 and then I'll feel better - or fall asleep in front of the TV. If my wife takes a picture and we can figured out how the heck to upload it from her phone, I'll do that as soon as possible. EDIT: The bread given with the meal was also hard and cold as if ( again ) it was leftover from yesterday or even before then. But from what I recall about the bread, it looks a lot better than it tastes. I'll be throwing that out too.

I promised to come back here to get a slice--freshly baked and piping hot, right out of the oven…read more I did on 6/18/26 for lunch, and it was the best slice I had all month. The crust was crisp and brown; the sauce, tangy; and the cheese, good stretch. I enjoyed it with a can of Italian Mandarin-flavored Soda. The service was top notch. The man behind the counter answered all my questions about their homemade desserts (see photos below). I decided to forgo any until I lose a few more pounds. The interior was clean and tidy for a pizza shop that busy. The modest-sized shop already had about 10 customers in there just after it opened today for business--about 11A.

I've come to Dario's many times now and can attest to their pizza. Unique pies and great flavor…read morecombos, they definitely do the Roman slice well. Some of my favorite slices are the mushroom, meatball slice, and they do seasonal veggie slices that are great. Their dough is chewy and crispy while not being too heavy or oily feeling. I really like that they have a flavor for everyone, no matter what you're feeling! My only gripe is with their sandwiches. They look a lot better than they actually taste. They're a huge portion that makes the price tag fair (which is really hard to find lately). It looks super flavorful but it really doesn't taste like much. Their focaccia bread is good, but the homemade semolina for the meatball parm was disappointing.. it was mushy and dense. Overall, I would stick to their pizzas because they clearly do it well.

Love the ovens!

I can't speak on the service or ambience of this place since we got the pie delivered. Now some of the great things about this pie was we ordered it crispy and even tho it was delivered it remained its crispiness and had absolutely no flop which was great. It's a very very good pizza pie especially to hang with friends and enjoy some games etc. only added garlic powder to it to give it more flavor, I do wish the sauce had a bit more flavor but overall it's a very good pie. I haven't tried anything else from here so I can only speak on their regular plain cheese pie. So take this rating lightly, as I will try more of their menu items. But overall it's a very good pizza, I just wish the sauce had a little more flavor but overall a good pizza. Oh btw even on delivery it still came out pretty piping hot which was nice.

I was in New Hyde Park this afternoon and en route to the airport. So I did the awesome Yelp search and Voila! I started with the Mediterranean salad - it had to be the most balanced, seasoned, fresh and delicious Med salad I have ever had. The grilled eggplant was so well seasoned and perfectly done. The blend of the chick peas( perfectly cooked), mixed greens, diced onions, cucumbers and feta was just eye and taste bud popping. I got the balsamic olive oil dressing and an 3xtra hints mustard and all I can say is Wow! wow! WOW! Well the tone was set and the palate and tum tum were screaming " Bring on the pizza". Boy did they bring it! I started with the perfect cheese slice, then two more and had to get the pepperoni that was solo and lonely. The perfect thin, crispy and foldable crust and the cheese n sauce. Gorgeous! I was so into my meal that I completely blanked at my awesome server's name - spunky, quick, knew exactly what I needed and just great care. Loved the outside, loved the inside. Their Northern Italian menu looks very appetizing. I got my foot in the door. Be back very soon. Loved Loved LOVEDDDDDD Gino's.
