    If you're looking for the feel of Italy, but don't want to leave Long Island, I suggest that you…read morepay a visit to Restaurant Jaonina, in Huntington. As soon as we sat down they brought over a bread basket with hot & delicious garlic knots along with Tuscan bread & olive oil. I've found that over my many years of dining, that restaurants that serve a great bread basket always follow it up with great food, and this was true with Joanina. The restaurant has a nice selection of wines, and we ordered 2 glasses of a light, crisp and refreshing Gavi from the Piemonte region in Italy. For appetizer, we shared thinly sliced baked eggplant covered with ricotta salata & a sublime pomodoro basil sauce. The dish was absolutely delicious, but unfortunately I couldn't wait to dig my fork into it, and forgot to take a picture. For entrees I ordered a cavatelli bolognese. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, and the meat sauce has the authenticity of any pasta you would taste in Italy. My wife ordered, for her entree, pollo con carciofi. This was tender chicken breast piled high with artichoke hearts, Parma prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, & white wine & lemon francese sauce. The side dish were a bunch of farm fresh vegetables. My wife was blown away as to how delicious this dish was. For dessert we shared a scrumptious and creamy toasted coconut tiramisu. Service throughout our dinner was outstanding, with special accolades to our server Amy ( I hope I got her name correct). She was very knowledgeable, and made a couple of outstanding recommendations. In summary, we had an excellent meal coupled with outstanding service what more can you ask for? MANGIA!

    I've lived near Huntington for my whole life and only came here for the first time recently. It's a…read morevery cozy family restaurant that I would like to return to! As previous reviews mention, the inside is decorated to look like you're on a patio in Tuscany. It's deceptively large inside, and we sat all the way at the back around the corner. The waitstaff were very efficient and pleasant, giving my boyfriend and I time to look over the menu but coming soon after we'd set them down on the table. After some complimentary bread and very tasty garlic knots, we started with one of their appetizer specials to share, and were very pleased with it. It had fresh grilled Italian sausage served over garlicky cannellini beans and broccolini. Everything was balanced and well prepared. For our dinner we both got pasta; I got the butternut squash agnolotti (de zucca) with butter and sage, and he got the ricotta cavatelli bolognese. The bolognese was delicious, but I felt like the squash agnolotti needed something else to make it a proper dinner. The filling is just squash puree, no cheese, and the melted butter sauce is very very decadent. I would get something a bit more filling next time, but other than that I enjoyed my meal and our experience!

    I was pleasantly surprised. Growing up in an Italian family from Brooklyn I'm pretty spoiled my…read morewhole life with great Italian food so I'm a tough critic. For appetizers we had baked claims and the eggplant rollatini. The eggplant rollatini was cooked perfectly. It was light and the breading didn't fall apart. The baked claims was incredible that I had to dip the bread in that delicious oreganata and I usually don't do that in restaurants but it was too good. My main course was the spaghetti bolognese and I was relieved that there wasn't some sort of vegetable in there to give it a sweeter taste like peas or carrots as they do in some other restaurants. If I have one critique is that there was a lot of meat and I would of liked to taste more of his sauce because every Italian cook needs a signature sauce and I wanted to taste more of his. The restaurant is a little pricey but the portions are generous and the food is fantastic. When you sit down in a nice place with great food in a bougie area that has linens you have to expect to pay but in my opinion worth it. Will definitely go back and I will make sure to make room for the tartufo!

    I do recommend Sal D's for the comfortable atmosphere, interior design and convenient parking…read more However, I'm not completely certain of the food and aspect of late dining. We arrived about 7:15 with numerous tables occupied. Greeted nicely, we were asked where we wanted to sit, which was great. Water was eventually brought to us and our waitress was pleasant. I ordered a dish that is normally in a red sauce, but white sauce was also offered. I chose the white, but it lacked flavor. The calamari appetizer was tasty, but rubbery as calamari can be. The other fish dish, I was told was tasty. Soon after we finished, dessert was offered, to which we declined. Then the bill came. We continued to sit and chat. I started seeing unhappy faces and came to realize we were the last diners. Perhaps the restaurant should inform late diners prior to seating that it closed at a certain time. It was only about 8:30. I think I need to re-visit Sal D's at an earlier time and try other dishes, hence the three star rating.

About 60 people in our group which fit nicely in the private room. We even had our own bar (with the Yankee game on TV). Service was outstanding and the food was surprisingly fantastic. Fix menus for dinner, salad, pasta and choice of entrees. I had the flounder franchese, which was one of the best I've had! Eggplant rolatine and chicken parm rounded out the choices. All good. Very happy for the invite as an out of town guest. Very pleased with Eatalia!

Eatalia was able to fit in our small group of ten last minute. We ordered family style and it was such an amazing lunch. The food kept coming out...and if we wanted more of anything, they brought it out. Everything from the salad to the pasta to the chicken was amazing!! Everything was fresh and well prepared. The servers were wonderful and attentive. There was another large party there at the same time, but we didn't even notice it until we left. The restaurant is cute and tucked away in an off street in the village, so easy to miss it!! But now that we found it-we will be back. Al the owner was wonderful and so helpful!!
