Matcha Latte
Paula L.

Every time we are in Northport we have to stop in. The place was packed today and we were lucky to get a table. we got a pour over and a Matcha latte. And we split a scone. Everything is always so good. We love the staff.

It's official! Moksha Cafe is open for business.

Moksha Cafe is the hidden gem of a coffee shop I have been waiting for - now it's finally open and shining! I stopped in recently and was blown away. And now I'm there a few times a week. The coffee and espresso? Legitimately excellent--on par with some of the best third-wave shops on Long Island. Rich, smooth, perfectly brewed. You can tell they're serious about quality. The beans they use are from one of the best shops on Long Island, Flux Coffee in Farmingdale. The vibe here is warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. Great for meeting a friend, working, or just want to escape life for a bit. Fast Wi-Fi, plenty of comfortable seating, and a great selection of snacks that go way beyond your average café fare. What makes it even better is how much they clearly care about the local community. The staff is friendly and attentive, and there's a real neighborhood feel here - it feels like community. If you haven't been yet, GO! Joe and the team at Moksha Cafe are doing everything right. The secret is out. You're welcome.

Cappuccino

So I saw there is a new owner, I liked what I read about their concept of the business so I popped in this morning to grab a coffee. Brandon was working there and was very friendly & welcoming. They serve Flux coffee which I am familiar with, I have to say this was probably one of the best cups of coffee I've had! I ordered a cappuccino, which was rich and dark, but not bitter at all, had a deep dark chocolate taste. Brandon showed me which beans it was from, a Mexican that was really delicious. The vibe is welcoming, clean, modern & still cozy feeling. I'm glad to see a new owner that has the same community spirit that this place had way, way back when I used to go here. I will be back for sure!

This is a lovely shop with great coffees and good service. Unfortunately they are not open early enough to have or meet friends for a morning coffee.

Cafe Portofino is a beautiful cafe on Main Street in Northport. I'm so pleased to have finally tried this coffee shop, as It's charm adds to the wholesomeness of this town! The ample amount of plants, string lights, and the wall art decor made for a positive, cheery, and relaxing experience. I was greeted by a friendly barista who was patient and helpfully informative, as she explained to me the difference between two drinks I was thinking about getting. I also appreciated the assortment of coffee syrups on display at the counter. I ultimately settled on a vanilla cold brew with oatmilk, which was quite satisfying. I'm excited to come back to Cafe Portofino in the future for one of the specialty drinks since they all seemed intriguing and delicious! :)

Fabulous cappuccino and hot donuts. Wonderful people, atmosphere and food, worth going a little out of my way to support this small business. Try it!

So this place got a HUGE revamp! I would come here sometimes but decided to check it out the other day and saw that this cafe really had a glow up! From the decorations to the ambiance- it has changed for the better. Love the decorations and details that have gone into the decorations and the menu changed as well. The person who helped me was so I Jedi let kind, I will be back because of how kind she is! I tried some apple cider and avocado toast but I will be back to try all the different items they have on their menu. It also looked like they had some seasonal items on the menu as well. The hostess notified me that they also have baked games available for customers. If you're in the area and want a quick lunch or a spot to sit and unwind, check this spot out!

The grounds…read moreare beautifully maintained on the building itself was gorgeous with a lovely outdoor seating area. We had a reservation and it was very busy. I spoke to a woman in the bathroom and she said even if you don't have a reservation, you can always find a spot on the grass or chairs. There's plenty of room to hang out. Our server Les was incredible! You can tell when you have a great experienced waiter that is truly good at their job and love what they do! Pay him whatever he wants and never let him go! He truly made the dining experience above and beyond. I ordered the Sauvignon Blanc and he asked me if I wanted a glass or a bottle and I told him I couldn't drink a bottle because I had to drive home. He told me if I was gonna have two glasses. It would end up being about equal to the bottle price and that I could take the rest of the wine home! What a nice surprise, and the fact that he pointed out made me feel like he goes above and beyond for his customers! Now let's talk about the food! I was in a party of three and they had ordered the appetizer sandwich for the table which was gigantic! Both of the other guests love the sandwich, but I didn't try it because I do not like prosciutto. The truffle chips were fantastic; I'm still thinking about them and I didn't even know I liked truffle! I ate 90% of them. The portions are massive but in a good way because the food is exceptional! One guest was so full from the sandwich that she opted to not order an entrée I ordered the margarita flatbread and it had to be over a foot and a half long. I ended up taking half home and my husband ate it and said it was delicious as well. The other guest ordered the meatballs and I tasted them and they were quite delicious. By the time the meal was over we left with half a sandwich half a flatbread and some extra meatballs. For dessert: we got a llimoncello flute and I got the largest lemon beautifully presented with lemon sorbet! I told us I don't usually take pictures of my food, but this was photo worthy! The wine was one of my favorite Sauvignon Blanc that I've ever had in my life! We will definitely go back for the food and definitely will be purchasing the wine again! 4/5 food 10/5 for the service and ambience Thank you for a wonderful experience on a beautiful afternoon! Overall, ranking above five just due to the experience

Prices are a bit high, but at least you don't have to drive all the way out to the East End to go to a winery. Food is good enough, and a bit expensive.

To our surprise, Carlos was still working there and even remembered us. It was so great to see him again. They still have a really good happy hour deal. There have been a few changes over the years, but many of the items we always loved are still on the menu, along with some new ones. Of course, we had to order some of our old favorites the bacon-wrapped dates, garlic shrimp, chorizo, and skewers and everything was just as delicious as I remembered. The red sangria has always been my go-to here, especially with all the fruit in it, and it was just as good as it used to be. We're definitely looking forward to coming back again and hopefully becoming regulars once more. Great staff, great food, and great prices! You really can't beat that!

The menu is some what tied into the Puglia region, which is the heel of the boot. I could tell the italian dialect from the owner when he was speaking to one of the staff, it immediately gave me a good feeling that this restaurant would be really good. The appetizers we had were all really good, we had the fried calamari, the grilled Octopusss, the fried zucchini flowers and thd hummus special. Sorry no pics of these. We had a couple of the Orrechiette Barese, Chicken parmigiana, a pasta special of fettuccine with shrimp in a cream and pesto sauce, another pasta with cavatelli, shrimp and cream and pesto sauce, really couldn't see the pesto, probably could have used a little more or maybe a little finishing with the pesto on top. Service was good and the owner came around to introduce himself and we got a complimentary round of their homemade creama di limencello to finish off the experience. Wr wouldn't hesitate to go again the next time we are in town to see a show.

This was my second visit to Salumi, and somehow they managed to impress me even more this time…read morearound. I came back specifically to try their special Oktoberfest menu, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. One of the things I love most about Salumi is how knowledgeable the staff is. They really understand the menu, the drinks, and the pairings, and if you're willing to take their recommendations, they can completely elevate your experience. We started with their signature Old Fashioned made with Noah's Mill bourbon. They actually tested multiple bourbons to find the one they felt worked best in their recipe, and you can tell. It was extremely well balanced. The dry-rubbed chicken wings were fantastic and are fried in beef tallow, which I absolutely loved. They're served with an Alabama white sauce instead of the typical ranch or blue cheese, and I thought that was such a creative and delicious pairing. The figs and burrata were another standout. The creamy burrata, sweetness from the figs and pomegranate molasses, and little bit of heat from the jalapeño worked beautifully together. The spätzle was rich, creamy and comforting with Gruyère, caramelized onions and crispy onions on top. Definitely don't go into it expecting American-style mac and cheese because it's its own thing entirely. The bratwurst tasted nothing like anything you're buying at a supermarket, and the latkes were perfectly crispy. Their homemade applesauce was honestly one of my favorite parts of that plate -- I could have eaten an entire bowl of it. But the absolute star of the night was the Jägerschnitzel. This is a crispy bone-in pork chop with mushroom cream sauce and roasted cremini mushrooms. The pork is soaked in buttermilk before cooking, and it was incredibly moist and tender with a perfect crispy breading. Easily one of the best pork chops I've had in a very long time. We finished with the Black Forest Mess -- whipped mascarpone, brownie and Amarena cherries -- along with an excellent espresso martini. They grind fresh Georgios Coffee beans and pull a fresh shot of espresso for every martini, and if you actually love the taste of coffee, you'll appreciate this one. Salumi continues to be one of those restaurants where the staff truly helps make the experience. Don't be afraid to ask questions or ask for recommendations. They know their menu extremely well. If the Jägerschnitzel is still available when you visit, GET IT.

A random stop today for a casual lunch and expectations were exceeded…read more First, Super great service from Morgan. Now for the food. I thoroughly enjoyed the Tyrol sandwich. Ham, Turkey, Havarta cheese on delicious home bakes Italian bread. My other half enjoyed the sliced flank steak sandwich with a mild horseradish seasoning. Both delicious. The garlic fries on the side were crispy and delicious. To finish we enjoyed a cappuccino and a black coffee from Giorgio's. Also, great wine and also beer selection. We're looking forward to returning.

I can't believe I went this long without discovering this gem of a restaurant…read more From the moment we walked in, everything was exceptional. Our waiter, Steve, was incredible, and the entire staff couldn't have been more welcoming and accommodating. I believe Rich, the owner, stopped by our table several times to make sure everything was perfect, which added such a personal touch. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, like stepping onto the set of an old-world Italian movie. The soft Italian music, warm lighting, and elegant atmosphere made for a perfect dining experience. The drinks were spot on. I had two Belvedere vodkas on the rocks with martini olives, and they were perfectly prepared. The specials all sounded tempting, but the regular menu offers more than enough outstanding choices, with an impressive selection of pasta, chicken, veal, and seafood dishes. We started with the Insalata Mista, featuring romaine, Boston lettuce, chicory, radicchio, tomatoes, and anchovies, along with roasted peppers and anchovies. I can never get enough anchovies. For our entrées, we shared a bone-in chicken special served with a rich Gorgonzola cream sauce, and a simple but perfectly executed linguine with garlic and oil. Sometimes the simplest dishes are the most satisfying. Dessert was outstanding--a slice of rainbow cake served with zabaglione, fresh blueberries, and whipped cream, accompanied by two flawless cappuccinos. Yes, the food was outstanding. Yes, the service was outstanding. And yes, the atmosphere was outstanding. But what really sets this place apart is something that's hard to describe: the vibe. It's warm, authentic, welcoming, and just feels old world special. Years ago, my favorite restaurant on Long Island was Caracalla on Jericho Turnpike in Syosset. Sadly, it burned down in 2013, and I've been searching ever since for a restaurant that could fill that void. Nothing ever did--until now. Sempre Vivolo has officially earned that spot. It has become my new favorite restaurant on Long Island, and I can't wait to go back.

Have eaten here many times; whether it is the homemade pasta, fish, chicken, or steak, they always get it right. The most important thing is the sauce; a thick, well cooked, dark red sauce.

Last night, we had the stuffed pork, which I generally don't like pork, but it was stuffed and dressed in a brown mushroom sauce; it was tender and delicious. The homemade ravioli and meatballs were so good, I was barely willing to share them with the hubby.
