    I was staying at the Hampton Inn, and found this place 9 minutes away from Yelp. Definitely would come back. Everything was great and reasonably priced.

    The absolute best! Incredible service. Delicious food. Lovely ambiance. This is our family's favorite Sunday supper spot. Sorry for the photos we ate too fast!

    I was last at MaBella's about 4 years ago when I met my son for lunch. It left a really good impression, so last night I went there again with my son and daughter-in-law. It was even better this time! This is a small place in a strip mall on Commack Rd. The inside was really nicely decorated with Valentines Day not too far away. There's a nice bar on the right with seating to the left. We started off with appetizers of calamari and capellini cakes. Both were good, I liked the fried calamari better of the two. Our meals ranged from my Frankie's Veal Scaloppini, to my son's Bella's Scarparella, to his wife's Eggplant Parmigiana. All the meals were excellent, I thought the veal was very well prepared. Even though we had a reservation, we still had about a 10 minute wait, but the owner was very apologetic and accommodating. She also stopped by at our table to make sure we were satisfied. All in all, a very nice dinner out at a place I recommend checking out!

    The kids! :)

    We had a large birthday luncheon for my mom this past Sunday and it could not have been better. It was all of our first time there on a very trusted recommendation! The table was set beautifully. The food was fantastic. Maria is an expert at her craft! All of our servers, especially Brianna, were wonderful. Everyone was so kind and caring. Our guests raved about it and we will all return. I cannot leave without saying that the stuffed zucchini flowers were such a treat! Can't wait to return! xx

    I got the chicken bisentino with vegetables. It was quite tasty. The vegetables were mostly zucchini tho. The place was very cute and had a nice ambiance to it. The staff were very nice but not always there to refill drinks and ask of everything was ok. We also got the meatballs as an appetizer which was very soft and tender, but I felt it lacked some flavor.

    Was in Long Island and decided to stop by hoping to have a good meal. The restaurant is in a corner of a small lot and is a little difficult to see from the road. The hostess (who I also found out was owner) Maria was not friendly at all when she greeted us or went to sit us. The waiters were not the friendliest either. They kept standing by the bar to watch the game instead of checking on tables more frequently. The food was mediocre. I would not say it was terrible but I have had a lot better at other locations. The clams were tender and fresh and the stuffed zucchini flowers were very tasty and good. However the eggplant parm and chicken parm for dinner were just o.k. The breading completely fell off, it was drowning in sauce (which was nothing to brag about), and they served with plain spaghetti and sauce which tasted straight out of the box and was not properly drained. It resulted in a soup consistency on the plate between the water and sauce. The cocktails were not great either. I would say if you are in a pinch for time or in the area it is not bad, but nothing more than that. There is a lot better Italian food in New York.

    Frankie's Chicken Sorrentino.

    Our favorite restaurant for years!! I'm truly in heaven with the Zuppa Di Pesce . Owner and staff are the best!!!! All food and drinks delicious.

    I went to Mezza Luna with my daughter last night for a spur of the moment late night dinner. She…read morehad passed by the restaurant and it caught her eye, so we went. Now, I knew nothing about Mezza Luna, never heard of it or looked for reviews first, so I had no idea what the night would bring! We called from the car to make sure they were still serving dinner, the owner answered and told us he would have a table ready when we arrived. My first thought... impressive and a very nice man! We found the restaurant, pull into the parking lot, it was so full we literally got the last spot! My second thought....it's going to be an expensive night, but I was looking forward so I was prepared, it was pay day! LOL! The owner greeted us as we walked in, Mezza Luna is a classy, romantic restaurant with a warm, comfortable feel to it! I already had the feeling anything we ordered would be extremely well prepared and delicious, I was right! Friday evenings there is live music! A guy playing an acoustic guitar was set up in a nice spot when we walked in, very talented and played some great classic rock songs! Our table was perfect, could easily seat four people! Right away, glasses of ice water were served with a basket of fresh semolina bread! Our waiter, Fred, came over shortly after. I have to say the service is superb! He was very courteous and attentive throughout the evening! I can't even count how many times someone came to our table to fill our glass with water! The menu is very nice, you will without a doubt find any of your favorite dishes to choose from. Decisions, decisions, decisions...It was tough but I went with the Filet of Sole Francaise. My daughter chose a pasta dish. Fred read off the specials, all great choices, but I still ordered my favorite dish! However, beef barley soup was part of the specials so I ordered that. It was over the top delicious and a nice size serving! They don't skimp on anything, lots of beef with tiny pasta and vegetables. Even though finely chopped so no big pieces, there was a big taste of everything in each spoonful. I finished it all! The presentation was also beautiful and served piping hot! As everything on the menu is ala carte, your dish comes as is, so we didn't order any pasta or appetizers. It was a little pricey but believe me, it won't matter to you! The portions are big enough and a complimentary bowl of fresh mixed vegetables are served with your dinner. The francaise sauce was perfection and my fish was succulent, very fresh! My daughter enjoyed her pasta dish tremendously! There is always room for dessert, even though I felt like I couldn't eat another bite, I couldn't pass up dessert. My favorite was one of the choices (of course it was) but so were 3 or 4 others. They offer two kinds of tartufo which was a first for me! I went with the tiramisu! It was one of the best I ever had! It was so over the top delicious I finished it all!! Last nights dinner was one of the best I have had in a long time, even better than the Country House, where we went for Easter! This was just different, a very elegant experience. I highly recommend Mezza Luna. Especially if you have a SO, you must dine here! I will absolutely be back soon, not one negative about the evening I can think of, it was really a perfect night!

    Celebrated my bachelorette dinner here. This place is fantastic! The atmosphere is very upscale yet…read morethey are not a pretentious place. Everyone my party encountered was hospitable and gracious. From the moment you walk in this place screams class and elegance. The design of the restaurant is so beautiful. All of the food was delicious! Flavorful, yet not overly salty one bit. I loved the atmosphere and the food. This place was a winner!

    This place was the sketchiest restaurant I've been to in a long time…read more After coming here to attempt dinner, we looked over the menu, the manager was very desperate to get someone to come eat at the restaurant. We sat down, saw no one in the place, which was a bad sign, so before ordering we decided to leave. The manager literally chased us outside and looked at us begging us to come back. No way, very bad vibes, would not recommend.

There was also a big party going on and we still got exceptional service and checked in on to make sure our food and everything was good. My husband and I both had the special, lobster bisque, which was delicious with some pieces of lobster in it as well. For dinner, I had the sea bass. Which they accommodated and did not put the pesto on it as I am not a fan of it. This was delicious especially with added chunks of lobster with it. My mom had the crispy duck. All the food was delicious. Drinks were great too! Dessert was scrumptious. I absolutely loved the Italian cheesecake with raspberry sauce. The ambiance was nice and open. Overall, the whole evening was lovely and I would definitely come back again, maybe during their happy hour so I could try more dishes. They have plenty of space in the bar area as well. Whether you're looking for a nice sit down dinner or a laid back evening with drinks and appetizers, this is a great place to go.

The ambience is warm, clean, and comfortable with a relaxed neighborhood feel that makes it easy to settle in. It's not overly fancy, but it definitely feels welcoming and well kept, which sets the tone for a good dining experience. The service was consistently good during my visit. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick without being pushy. Our server checked in at the right times, made solid recommendations, and made sure everything arrived as expected. It's the kind of service that makes the meal move smoothly and shows that the team cares about the guest experience. The food was very enjoyable. The menu has plenty of Italian favorites and everything we tried had solid flavor and was served hot and fresh. Portions were generous without feeling overwhelming. It's the kind of place where you can rely on the classics being prepared well, whether it's pasta, pizza, or one of their chicken dishes. Nothing felt rushed or under seasoned, which is always appreciated. Overall Filetto's is a dependable and pleasant restaurant with good service, good ambience, and quality food. It delivers on what you expect from a neighborhood Italian spot and makes you want to come back. A very solid four star experience all around.
