TLDR: It's that same Pio Pio you know and love. Personally, this might be my favorite location. If you've never been, Matador Combo. I've been going to Pio Pio for almost 20 years. As expected, they've finally expanded to Long Island in Glen Cove. Looks like the one in Jackson Heights but taller ceilings and less noisy. This might be the first time it was not someone's birthday (IYKYK) during service. It was just the wife + I so we stuck with the Matador Combo. If you've never had it, you get their famous chicken, an avocado salad, salchipapas (fries + hot dogs), plantains (sweet or savory) and rice/beans. We got a glass of sangria which is always classic and I tried the Marucaya (passionfruit) Sour and both were very tasty. I felt like the food comes out here FAST and the chicken was HOT. Possibly the best experience I've had at Pio Pio since the very first time I tried it in Jackson Heights. When they were in the tiny space that Amaru is in before they moved across the street. We'll probably go to this one from now on. Everything from the space, service, drinks and food were perfect. It's not that often when I leave a restaurant and everyone box was checked but tonight it was. I'd like to come back with more people so I can try some of the other items on the menu.
Came here for my birthday! It was really really good just like I remembered. I was a bit late to the reservation but that wasn't a problem. Definitely need a reservation for Friday night. I've been going to the locations in the city before but I'm so glad they opened one up here. The drinks were delicious we tried the watermelon margarita, passionfruit sour, virgin Pina colada, and brisa de Lima. Made very well. For apps we got the grilled octopus and Nikkei ceviche. The grilled octopus came with two delightful sauces and some grilled mini potatoes. It was tender and flavorful. The Nikkei was like Peruvian tuna poke but I wish it was a little less salty. For mains we went all out. We got the matador combo and an arroz con mariscos and a full platter of jalea. It was enough food for 6 people with quite a bit left over. One of the standouts we never expected was the seafood rice.. the sauce it came in was rich and complex and creamy. Not like a paella, more like a risotto.. that was finished quickly everyone loved it. For the matador combo it is a huge amount of food. The chicken was standout juicy and came with a ton of sides like avocado salad, rice and beans, tostones, and salchipapas and fries. It was all really good and can fill up your party. The other fun food was the jalea, it's a fried mix seafood platter. I enjoyed the seafood used they had a mix of white fish, baby squid, calamari, clams, and yucca fries, all drizzled with this light but umami filled criolla salsa, which is a mix of red onions corn garlic and yumminess. Everyone was stuffed. Finally we had cake that I night and the cappuccinos we ordered were good as well. And the bill wasn't too crazy for 6 people with drinks. The only annoying part was that the roof was a bit drippy it rained and I felt occasionally drips of water on my head..
Such a great dinner spot! I've only ever been to a Pio Pio restaurant once and this time it was just as delicious as I remembered! The staff is very kind and always checked in to make sure everything was alright. They seemed to be quite busy however so there could be a wait when you go. I think they would benefit from some sort of online reservation system because they seemed overwhelmed. I saw they were writing down all the folks who were waiting but sometimes they seemed to lose track of it. We had a group that came in way after my group and they had gotten seated immediately when it seemed to be our turn. Food wise, I really enjoyed everything I had. I had their paella and I loved how it tasted almost like a risotto! The sticky rice absorbed all the flavors and seasonings and it was so well balanced. Of course I had to get their chicken and while I'm not usually the biggest fan of chicken, it was one of the most tender chickens I've ever had. While not pictured, we also had sangria which could give about 6-8 glasses! Their white wine sangria was delicious and tasted like juice. Lastly we ended with some dessert and had their ice cream. The staff also gifted us some chocolate and an extra ice cream on the house which I found very sweet. Thank you to the staff for a delicious and heartwarming meal!
So glad to see a Pio Pio on Long Island! I came here for dinner on a Wednesday night; the perfect night to come as it wasn't crowded. We were greeted and seated immediately by someone who ended up being our server for the night. It's nice inside and the food was on point just as it was at the Manhattan location. My friend and I ordered chicken empanadas and maduros (plaintains) to share which came out super quick. So fast that I'm about 99.99% sure these were already prepared and just waiting to be served to whoever ordered it. For an entree we both ordered Arroz Chaufa (made fresh) - rice, chicken, egg, bean sprouts, etc and got their homemade red Sangria. Yum! Add that green sauce for some added flava. The parking at this location can probably be a bit of a nuisance especially on a crowded night but don't let that stop you from enjoying this go to gem! I'll be back for sure.
Pio Pio was the first time I got to try Peruvian food and I was not disappointed! The service was great and the food did not disappoint! The seafood?! so fresh!! I know Pio Pio is known for their chicken but you have to get their seafood too. I've seen mixed reviews about their chicken and I usually stray away from ordering chicken at restaurants because most of the time, it's too dry. However, the chicken was super juicy and paired well with the rice and sauce that it comes with! My family and I are happy that Pio Pio has made it to Long Island.
Great drinks! Loved the white sangria and the cocktails are very good. The food was good but not the best Peruvian food out there, especially for the price. Flan was great! Definitely would recommend for the drinks and dessert but the food is just ok.
I love Pio Pio in the city. I was happy to see it came to Long Island closer to some family. The location is good and the interior has a variety of seating available whether it's at the bar, one of the round tables or a more secluded area for groups - the leather sofa or the long table by the window. The food is the same overall, but I've noticed that certain foods are more salty or more sweet in taste than normal. That is why I dropped it two stars. The servers are attentive and getting orders in is easy. Definitely good for families and groups as the serving sizes and portions are a lot larger than your typical dining experience on the island. They have great drinks too! Happy eats!
They insist the Peruvian chickens, say Pio Pio, rather than cluck cluck. This is part of the chain in Manhattan and Queens, but seems a bit more upscale, with modern, stylish decorations, a full bar, and a more extensive menu. There was a small lot with valet parking. Every table inside was taken at 7 o'clock. Five of us started by sharing ceviche and chicken empanadas that were delicious. Our main course was seafood, Peruvian paella in a cream sauce, and Peruvian combo with a whole rotisserie chicken, red rice and salad. We were wowed by the paella it was very flavorful, but mostly rice with a few bite size pieces of shellfish. For dessert, we shared a tres leche cake and house cake with fruit ice cream.
Love pio pio! Huge fan of the one in queens & Manhattan so I was so happy to hear they were opening near us! The food was amazing - the decor was beautiful. Gorgeous bar, clean & staff was attentive. The lomo Saltado didn't disappoint & neither did their chicken! Will definitely be back!
The food is fantastic. Service is always quick no matter how busy they are. Drinks are strong. Their green sauce is the best I've ever had. The portions are huge!! I throughly enjoy coming here each and every time. Good for any occasion. Quick bite after work? This is the place. Nice dinner with family? This is the place! First date? This is the place. They need to open another location in Suffolk asap read more
A very good Peruvian restaurant. Their rotisserie chicken is juicy and is accompanied a very good green sauce. Can order quarter, half and whole chicken. The lomo saltado is also very good and flavorful. Not pictured is camarones cuzco. Its an amazing shrimp dish in a aji amarillo sauce. The service can be slow when its busy. It also gets very loud. read more

Dinner with friends and their recommendation... was thrilled to hear it was (one of) their locations. Had eaten there many years ago at the one in Queens. I recall the sangria being off the charts - did not disappoint. Ample portions - great service. Parking however is a bee with an itch. Valet is an option but prepare yourself to find street parking - although after a nice, hearty meal... the walk is welcome. Ambience is great- food is top notch. (Did overhear one of the floor managers screaming at the servers.... Could have done that with 1) more tact and diplomacy 2) behind closed doors and not in public - just saying. read more

Finally had the chance to visit the very new Pio pio in Glen cove . What a great addition to the neighborhood. First let's talk about the ambiance ... sexy, upscale vibe. Love the layout , we were seated at a very private table , we felt like we were in the Caribbean on vacation somewhere . The bar is beautiful , well stocked and excellent bartender . Order the sangria... thank me later The food is 10/10 , everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and super fresh . The ceviche was out of this world , the chicken is juicy and flavorful. Order green sauce for your chicken, it's a game changer ! Service was decent, I can't complain, it was Saturday and very busy . Happy we were able to be seated at 8pm on a Saturday with no wait ! *For those who worry about indoor dining at cramped places, the tables are very spaced out and it's a huge space. Worth a visit even if you have to travel. Haven't had dessert here yet but I'm sure I'll be back very soon. read more

Pio Pio never disappoints. The chicken is always juicy and flavorful, much better than Costco's $5 chicken lol. This Long Island location is spacious and bright. Every time we try to order the chicken and to try a new dish. We tried the beef heart skewers from our most recent visit. Although the beef heart is a little firm, I liked the flavor and don't mind ordering again. Taking a star off because the menu says 3% discount for cash purchase, but we didn't get a discount when we paid in cash. Wish they can clarify whether it's 3% surcharge for using cards or 3% discount for paying cash. read more

As a Pio Pio fanatic and Long Island native I was ecstatic to hear that they opened their first Long Island location. I tried to order some new things but there are just some tried and trues that cannot be missed. The new location is vibrant and popping. The open dining room concept creates a bustling atmosphere centered around food and chatter. The service as always is prompt and on task. We order some empanadas and calamari. Both were of exceptional quality. We also tried the lomo saltado which was wonderful. I'm Peruvian so I'm a harsh critic on lomos, this was great but not the absolute best. The thunder was brought by the Matador combo. Chicken, salchipapa, rice and beans, salad and maduros. The works. 3+ people this is the way to go. The chicken never misses and in over 100 Pio Pio restaurant visits it has missed the mark only once. Do not leave without trying the chicken. Sangria was great. Didn't try a cocktail but I'm sure they are fire. Will be back. read more

I've been to pio pio since I was little girl - back when their first restaurant was open in woodhaven. They've definitely come a long way. I was actually very excited to know Agusto- the owner opened a new location in Long Island! We actually came to this location twice once on a regular Sunday and then on Mother's Day. I have to say I was very impressed with their chicken. Let it alone being a busy day, the chicken was very fresh and well seasoned. We tried their arroz chaufa and that was also a fav. Anticuchos were good and the combos were well made. Only thing I wasn't a fan was their hot sauce (green sauce) needed flavor- it was very bland. I was mainly using the rocotto from the anticuchos for spice. I'm sure they'll improve it- let's hope. Ambiance is very similar to the style of pio pio - open concept. They played good music but it is a loud environment. Didn't get to try their signature cocktails but I will next time I go back- although My mom did have their sangria in which she wasn't a fan of. read more
