Came here over the weekend to celebrate a friends birthday. There were 8 of us and we ordered…read moredrinks, apps, entrees and dessert and all of it was perfection. The bread basket was fresh and amazing, the coconut martini was insane (I could have ordered multiple because they were so delicious but they were strong so I only had 1), The calamari was also incredibly fresh and delicious, the spicy vodka cavatelli with burrata was unbelievable (definitely spicy which I was happy about), and the peanut butter cake slice was a perfect ending to the meal. Service was on point all night. The staff is on top of everything and also incredibly nice and ready to offer recommendations. The restaurant was packed the entire time we were there (2+ hours on a saturday night) for good reason. Everyone in the restaurant looked happy. The restaurant was also beautiful and one side had a beautiful bar and additional seating and the main dining room was spacious and had tons of seating. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of my food because there was a lot going on- but I promise you will enjoy yourself if you go here for dinner. I can't wait to go back!

We came here for dinner thinking we might add another spot to our regular rotation, but this ended…read moreup being a one and done. When we walked in, a kind gentleman warmly greeted us and seated us right away--a great start. As soon as we sat down, complimentary warm bread with butter was served, which was a nice touch. Throughout the meal, the bus team was attentive and courteous--our water glasses were refilled without us having to ask, plates were cleared promptly, and clean utensils were provided to replace used ones, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case with our waiter. He took our order and then essentially disappeared--we didn't see him again until we had to wave him down for the check. Honestly, we wish the bus staff had been our server. We shared the seafood salad, which felt more like a single-person portion than something meant to share. I had the filet of sole Francese, and my husband ordered the chicken Pugliese, today's special. The fish was good, but I wasn't particularly wowed--the food wasn't bad, but nothing really stood out. While there were some nice touches, the inconsistent service and lack of standout dishes make it hard for us to return.

Earlier this year I took my husband out for his birthday on a Sunday night. The place is cozy but…read moreservice was subpar. We ordered the Sunday prix fixe menu. For appetizers we ordered the pasta Fagioli and the eggplant Rollatini. The eggplant rollatini was the better of the two dishes. For entrees, we ordered the grilled chicken fettuccine Alfredo and chicken francese. Chicken francese was the better of the two dishes. The Alfredo sauce was watery and not as creamy (the ratio was bit off). For dessert we ordered the tiramisu and the rum cake. The rum cake had generous amounts of rum. Overall we have had better food and service. Thankfully we were able to dine in as walk ins at the very last minute. We have had better food and experiences at other neighborhood Italian restaurants.

I have finally made my way to King Umberto's after all this time. This is part of the trifecta that…read morebrought the grandma pizza to the masses, that being Umberto's, King Umberto's, and Da Angelo's. And with this visit, I have visited all three. With that out of the way, let's get to what I got at this pizzeria. Since I had just come from Dario's, I decided that one slice would be good to get a feel of what KU offers. First off, the ambiance and look of the pizzeria is my favorite of the trifecta and the customer service is fantastic. I got the white slice and on the whole, it was heated to perfection, had a wonderful balance of mozzarella, ricotta and basil. Anywho, the taste of the slice was fantastic and I think this outclasses Umberto's and Da Angelo's white pies by a long shot. The display case had a great selection of wonderfully made pizza and other items for takeout. If you come here, you need to try their grandma pie as that it's claim to fame (I wish I could have it, but damn gastritis! ) I met Giovanni, one of the owners and he was friendly and loves having conversations with his customers and hope to meet him again. This has easily become one of my top favorite pizzerias on Long Island and will make the trek again, this time with my family in tow. Cheers!

It's a small cozy place, it appears to have another side that was having a private affair. I would advise you to make reservations. The staff was really attentive and friendly, gave a great recommendation when asked what I should try. He said the short rib hash was good. Since it was called hash, I expected it to be like a corned beef hash, it wasn't, it was a piece of short rib with fried potatoes and two fried eggs. It was good with a nice sauce on the short rib. My friend had the chicken parmigiana, she said it was good, no complaints. I ordered the tres leche cake which was not to my liking. I'm use to the Dominican Tres Leche, this was a piece of vanilla cake with some type of cream in the middle and tasteless milk, no flavor. I will be returning to try other items on the menu.
