    Rock hard (kinda like my abs) sorbet
    Frank T.

    Turns out it's a tale of two Nola's. Went back with a larger group on Saturday after raving about how much we enjoyed this local place the Friday before. Girls didn't want Lugers, guys didn't want sushi, another couple was at Carbone's the night before and didn't want Italian. Nola I thought. "No drive to the city or the North Shore, we can hop over to Seaford" I say. "Sure Frank, we trust you". Everything started ok, seated promptly, apps and drinks come out quick, and all was great (well they didn't have stuffed olives as mentioned on one of the cocktails). All the sushi and apps were a big hit. The Nola oysters, Mulberry calamari, special zucchini flowers, eggplant stack, special lobster crepe, 2 special toro rolls and house roll. We're feeling good. The night got a little rocky from there. Entrees took a long time, and not that that's a problem (we didn't fire the entrees until after apps), but two entrees came out cold, one wrong (a sub was requested on the potato) and the steak over cooked. Those dishes must have been sitting around on the pass waiting for... idk. Do try the spinach - it is delish. Steak needed more seasoning. Then bussing got sloppy, tray of glasses broke by the kitchen, super loud - if we weren't committed to dessert, we would have paid and left. Thankfully the desserts and coffee were good. Long draw on the macchiato, which had more steamed milk then I was expecting, and good coffee. The Bo nanas are fun, and the apple crumb was pretty good. Shabeer couldn't have been nicer, and clearly he was working his butt off. He even offered us a cordial. No Sal making rounds tonight. Now, I'm just a civilian Yelp loser who eats and writes about it as a lame hobby, but they may want to figure out teaming a little better. I wouldn't have minded a dessert closer handling the end of our meal. Next time, I'll stick to Nola on weekdays or eat at less crowded times. Still wishing this restaurant lots of success as it's our best chance on the South Shore.

    Haven't been here since it was Puglia's and it didn't disappoint. The restaurant is redecorated with a new menu too. Our server was right on point. We started with the lobster baked clams. They were fresh and homemade tasting. Didn't taste processed and there were pieces of lobster in it. For dinner, everyone but myself had the halibut with broccolini and all were happy with their meal. I had the Fresh Cortecce and added burrata bc well you know the more cheese the better! It had shrimp and roasted peppers in a creamy Parmesan sauce. It was very flavorful. For dessert, we split the apple crumb with vanilla ice cream. So good! The other couple had creme brulee. Very impressed! We'll be back!

    Prosciutto flatbread, with fresh ricotta and fig jam.... WOWZA

    My new favorite restaurant on Long Island. Food is top notch, out of this world fantastic. Great outdoor area to dine as well as inside, nicely decorated. One of the best menu's , the choices are thought out perfectly and menu design easy to navigate. I have to take a minute to shout out to JUAN our waiter.. best I've ever had in any restaurant.. this man actually cares about your dining experience and knows the menu and how the dishes are prepared. Make reservations now before the word gets out how outstanding Nola is and you'll be waiting to get a seat. The Chef came out, Chef Anthony, and he truly has the passion of food in his blood. Try everything on the menu it all looks and sounds amazing because I definitely will be doing that. FYI also great bar and wine menu. Ciao

    Went last night for dinner, the food was delicious and the portions were large as well, my husband and I ended up having 4 appetizers and were too full and satisfied for a main. We had the oysters, the special baked clams with lobster the Prosciutto balls and the Gringo sushi roll. Each dish was flavored and delicious, drink prices were not bad either. The outside seating was very comfortable and cool with the overhead fans and Ryan our server was very nice, offering suggestion and descriptions of each dish. We will definitely be back with the rest of our family soon.

    Another fantastic find on Long Island for an Exceptional Italian restaurant. I got to see all the…read moredishes coming out of the kitchen ( because we had a table next to the kitchen ) they all looked incredible. We ordered Veal Parmigiana and Veal Siciliana both delicious and the veal was like butter, so tender. The sauces on the entrees so flavorful. Side of linguine with tomato sauce and roasted garlic perfect. Very limited wine list , we went with the Chianti tonight which was very good. They had a key lime pie as a special dessert for the night and I can never pass one up, another delicious item. Menu has individual entrees and also offers a family menu options for larger parties. Make sure you call for reservations, definitely gets crowded. Highly recommend

    Update - our third visit. Saturday night, about 8:00 P.M., we got the last table for four, near…read morethe kitchen. They now have valet parking, but they don't take reservations, despite what's stated on the Internet. Prices have increased and the menu has changed since our visit last year. It's a loud, mostly "smart casual" dressed crowd, and I found myself leaning over the table to enable conversation. Last year, mid-week, it was quiet. Our waitress, Julia, was articulate and very sweet. I ordered the Chicken Sorrentino, which was breaded chicken cutlets with breaded eggplant cutlets in an oily tomato sauce with de minimus infused veggies and melted mozzarella cheese on top. It came with a side dish and I chose the linguine (instead of potato/veggies), but asked for whatever sauce would come with the entrée (instead of marinara, etc.). My dish was delicious, but I became saturated after eating half of it (possibly from the oil or because the portions are so generous), so I took the other half home for another dinner. I purposely didn't order an appetizer to save a little space for dessert and coffee. That said, for starters, they put out complimentary but crude bruschetta for the four of us and they partially sliced about a six or eight inch piece of plain Italian bread in a rattan basket with pats of butter wrapped in foil. I often try the tiramisu for dessert, when available in Italian restaurants. I enjoyed theirs, despite its variant albino appearance (see photo) and flavor. The relative absence of cocoa or espresso initially made me feel as if I had ordered scotch and got a Shirley Temple, but it was still well prepared and went well with coffee.

Our waitress made us feel completely comfortable we were laughing, having side conversations, and genuinely enjoying ourselves all night. By the end of the evening, she even said, "Goodnight, love you!" and quickly laughed saying she didn't mean to say it. That pretty much summed up the vibe of the night friendly, relaxed, and memorable. The food was excellent from start to finish. I had the Caesar salad appetizer, which was very good, and my sister had the calamari, which she said was excellent. For our entrées, we both ordered the chicken parmesan with alavaca sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. To finish the night, we shared the crème brûlée for dessert, and it was the perfect treat. The portion is definitely big enough for two people, so I wouldn't recommend ordering one per person. The location is beautiful and right by the water true to the restaurant's name. The only small thing to note is the parking. There are two parking lots, and the first one is definitely the better option. The second lot leads closer to the waterfront entrance and can feel a little tight and snug when parking. Overall, we had an amazing time and would absolutely go back. Great food, great atmosphere, and even better service.

The food is always delicious, the atmosphere is welcoming. In fact, our experiences were so positive that when it came time to celebrate my daughter's college graduation, there was no question where we wanted to host the dinner. We chose Nunzi's for a celebration with 20 guests, and they exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Owner Al was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, offering thoughtful menu recommendations and helping us create a memorable experience for our family and friends. Also careful to note any food allergies, and accommodate dietary considerations like gluten free and vegan. While his suggestions were excellent, truthfully, everything we've ordered at Nunzi's over the years has been fabulous. The quality of the food is consistently top-notch, portions are generous, and the pricing is very reasonable for the overall experience. The service deserves special recognition. The staff is attentive, friendly, and efficient, making sure everyone's needs were met without ever feeling intrusive. They also have just the right amount of playful sass and personality to keep you smiling throughout the evening, which adds to the restaurant's charm. Whether you're looking for a family dinner, a girls' night out, a romantic date night, or a venue for a private event or special celebration, I highly recommend Nunzi's By The Water.
