    We came in quickly to grab slices on a Saturday night and they were very bush. It took a little while to place our order but the slices came out hot and fresh. The vodka sauce is to die for. The crust was perfectly crispy.

    Home to the best Frutti Di Mare I have ever had! The Red Frutti Di Mare here is incredible, if you are eating here I would definitely recommend that. Other dishes too are pretty good. The service is very friendly aswell. Handles well with allergies and other things. The vibe is pretty nice. Inside is a very nice red room and white trim with paintings and achievements from the restaurant. While the outsides has a covering and a amazing view of the street. The only thing holding this back form a 5/5 is the parking. The parking is impossible on the weekends. Whole in the week it's manageable, but hard. Overall 4.6/5. (Note: Big Portions aswell!)

    Heard about this restaurant from a friend and wanted it give it a try. My wife and I were going to Jones Beach for a concert and though this would be a good place to have dinner before the show. We arrived at 4:30 for an early dinner, there were tables outside under a red canopy, seemed very quaint and inviting but we choose to have dinner inside. When we first walked in we were by a pizza counter, then immediately to the right was the dinning room. This was also very quaint and inviting. The walls were painted red on the top half and white on the bottom with appropriate pictures on the walls to give a warm dining room feel to it. We were greeted and seated immediately by Anna our waitress. We were given menus and she told us the specials of the day. We both ordered the Broccoli Rabe Rigatoni with Sausage in a light garlic sauce and while we waited for our dinners we snacked on the fresh hot bread with olive oil. Once dinner arrived the portions were huge (Please see pic) with plenty of sausage to be had and it was awesome. We did not finish because we wanted to try their Tartufo for desert. Also Awesome and big enough for two. I can see this being a great place to relax and enjoy a bite to eat or dinner in a small town down by the beach. When we were leaving it started getting very crowded, looks like the word is out. My wife and I had a very nice dinner and desert, Anna out waitress was attentive, efficient and friendly. Can't wait to return and try some other dishes and the pizza!

    Solid spot to get a slice and the normal food is very good too. I have been a few times and they have all been very good. I like getting the pies fresh over the reheated slices but nonetheless its a great spot if you are in PLO

Engaging with one person, I was able to share my experience of Barrier Brewery, and he shared his as well. upon leaving one of the workers acquiesced with my decision to have a slice, split in half. That gesture was very kind. I had my fill with pizza for the night, so I did eat the slice that was split into 2 pieces` in order to provide a precise review. That ZA was delicious with a mild marinara sauce everyone enjoyed. I can eat this ZA without it affecting me and this was not a thin crust; it was a regular crust. Honestly speaking, this was an 'mmm' slice. When you bite into it, you go mm because it's that good. I would love to come back but by the time I get home, it would be cold unless I invested in a pizza warmer bag. This was a good night,... Inspire more, Yelp more

Every time I visit I always grab a few pizzas to bring home and I always make sure to ask to upgrade to DOP ingredients. This place is as authentic as it gets. From the oven, which was imported from Naples, to the owner being a certified pizzaiolo, and the amount of DOP ingredients in use and available, there's a level of care and respect for Neapolitan pizza that you can taste in the each pizza. The ingredients are excellent, the crust is consistently great, the dough has the perfect chew , and nothing feels like an afterthought. Over the years they've grown in popularity and have added several new items on the menu, to include pizzas, but the ones that stay constant in my rotation are Moms, The Margareta (DOP), and the meatball with ricotta. For me, they make the best neopolitan pizza on Long Island. I also love that it's connected to the pork store next door. There's something about the whole setup that feels like a throwback to my childhood and the kind of Italian American places I grew up around that seem like there's so few of today. Going to Saverio's is more than just grabbing a pizza.

I definitely think these pies are best eaten fresh out of the oven when you can really get that nice crunch, but even after bringing them home, they still tasted pretty damn good. What made it fun was ordering a variety so the whole family could try a little bit of everything. Everyone ended up having their own favorite, which always makes for a good debate at the table. Mine was definitely the fig--the combination of flavors just worked for me. Good pizza, great service and a fun way to do pizza night with the family. Next time, I'm grabbing a slice straight out of the oven!

Equally so, the owners have perfected the restaurant culture of not only providing customers with first-rate quality ingredients with consistent integrity, but also staffing their kitchen and front-of-house service (Liz, her sister and other staff), who are highly cordial, attentive, and friendly, among other professional attributes. There are many excellent eateries in the area, but Sorrento's truly is a unique and a must-experience culinary destination.

    4.5 stars Mona Lisa…read morePizzeria Ristorante catered my friend's birthday party, and I was so impressed with their preparation and presentation of their food! In fact, I could not stop refilling my plate, and I was not alone in that struggle; everyone was raving about the dishes. First, there were rolls that were essentially garlic knots without the oil or garlic. However, they were fine as they were, given that they had a golden brown, lightly crispy crust and a soft, doughy interior. There was also a massive round platter of their mixed salad, which included a base of spring greens topped with cucumbers, tomatoes, black and green olives, pickled carrots, and roasted peppers. I love all of those ingredients, and I prefer heavy toppings on my salads, so I was thrilled. However, on top of all of those vegetables was a mountain of raw red onion slices, which I had to delicately avoid. The last thing anyone would want at a party was strong onion breath, and I am not a fan of onions in even the most private of circumstances. Regardless, it was a creative salad that was much more interesting than others you would typically find at a casual pizzeria. In terms of the main courses, there was a large tray of each of three diverse items. The Penne alla Vodka contained pasta that was cooked to the perfect balance of firmness and softness, while the sauce was deliciously creamy and tangy without being over-the-top rich. The Chicken alla Marsala did not come with many mushrooms, but the poultry had been pounded thin, lightly breaded, and served in a robust wine sauce. The chicken was tender, moist, and tasty. Lastly, the Eggplant Parmigiana was incredible! The eggplant was sliced very thin, which was great because it minimized the eggplant chew factor that can sometimes causes issues for the diner when the slices are too thick or have gooey skin. However, this also meant that the breading was prominent in each bite. That concept might annoy diehard eggplant fans, but because the marinara sauce was sweet and well-seasoned and the cheese was flavorful, I loved how it all came together. When I was preparing to write this review, I looked at Mona Lisa's website and saw how vast their menu was, including a slew of interesting pizzas and pastas. So, I will definitely need to visit in-person to try some of their other delectable items.
