The atmosphere was identical to how I remember on my trip to Italy! So welcoming, warm, and true to the culture! We started with the apps: eggplant & tomato gratin.. the tomato was so fresh, sweet and the best eggplant ive ever had.. topped with a simple breadcrumbs The Piadinas were probably my FAVORITE that ive be so excited to try! Especially the Nud: prosciutto cotto fontina cheese and mushroom spread .. this was my favorite on the apps menu that id have for myself as a meal! After sharing the delicious apps my mom and I shared our favorite pasta. Strozzapreti Gratinati that Brittany hand rolls herself with sausage rags, arugala and light breadcrumbs topping! Ended the meal with dessert to celebrate my moms bday, the apricot crostata and pear desserts were our favorite! Sweet plum pear and fresh apricot tart!

We had a party of 4 and arrived at about 3pm, we didn't realize that the dining room didn't open till 4pm but they let us sit down in the dining room and we had to order from the counter which was no big deal. They did have a young lady in the dining room but she said she was not a waitress, this is just my opinion but they should let her wait on tables when something like this comes up so she can get the experience to become a waitress. Food was delicious, we all had different chicken dishes and all of us loved what we had. Prices were very fair. Definitely will be going back soon. They also do a pasta night and a chicken night the was very reasonable.

I haven't been here in a while, the owner it seems invested some money to transform the dining room to have multiple parties. There was a glass wall partition and I saw another family party happening on this Saturday afternoon. (We had the side with the bar ;)) House wine bottles were on the table but it's Saturday so I went with a Vodka Martini because I'm fan-say. The lunch menu was nice with a choice of Chicken Parmesan, Veal Marsala or Sole Oreganto. I went with the veal! First, shareable starters came to the table. Roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella on top of tomatoes and rolled salami. So so good, I'd be happy with this and the bruschetta that was served. The veal came out and the sauce was very flavorful. Nice Marsala with quality mushrooms. Mmm mm! The surprise for us was the dessert trays. Various Italian cookies (I think I took all the pignoli cookies!) it was a nice ending to our meal. There are lots of places to choose when you have large family gathering, Goccia D'oro was a great choice, every dish was delicious and plentiful. Hey, we're Italian!

We had a 630 reservation but 2 of us got there 20 minutes early. The Bar is soo small that you really can't sit there to wait. They actually sat us right away, even though the full party of 5 was not there. That was a plus. The waiter was on point. He came over everytime one of the other guys staggered in to give them a menu and ask what they wanted to drink. I had the grilled octopus and a 8oz filet with lobster truffle mashed potatoes. The steak was perfectly cooked , the rest of the food was delicious. All 5 of us had great food. No complaints from one for anything. And yes , the waiter was great again. I'd definitely go back and I would definitely recommend this place, even though my review is not really going to make a difference, since this place has a great reputation already.

An Italian restaurant located on the main street of Downtown Farmingdale. Came on a weekday evening…read morefor early dinner and found street parking out in front. The place has a good amount of seating area including high tops, low booths, bar table, and a private room. There is also two unisex restrooms. I came with my boyfriend before an event at Farmingdale State College and we were on a time crunch. I made a reservation on OpenTable but it was not busy at all. We got greeted and seated immediately upon walking in. Then, a server came with ice water for the both of us before our actual waiter came to introduce herself and ask if we were ready to order. Shortly after ordering, the waitress brought us a plate of complimentary bread that comes with garlic on top and olive oil dip on bottom. We got the fried calamari which was perfectly battered (not too little nor too thick) and fried perfectly (not too burnt nor too pale). The taste was great and went well with the marinara sauce. The Clams Oreganata were delicious too - very meaty and flavorful with a nice sauce and lemon to squeeze on top. The Clams Vespa is very unique and creamy. It reminds me of a white Alfredo sauce with baked clams. They had a huge variety of drinks and it was hard for me to choose, but the lady recommended me the Sicilian Kiss which is a strawberry flavored cocktail. It is supposed to be on the sweeter side but the alcohol was strong too. As for our main entree, we got the Papperdelle Bolognese which was a veal, pork, beef ragu on ribbon pasta. Very well cooked and the taste and texture went perfectly together. We were so full, but never skip on dessert! I'm personally not a fan of cheesecake, but they have creme brulee cheesecake and rainbow cookie cheesecake which I would have loved to try if it wasn't for the cheesecake. But I was happy to find out I could order the rainbow cookie gelato that usually comes with the cheesecake. That was yummy! The texture reminded me of the cake mix Ice-Cream from Carvel and the flavor is not too strong. Overall, great vibes and service. Will definitely be back to the the pizza and other pastas.

It's a white tablecloth restaurant that serves some of the best Italian food I've had. And I've had a lot. The dinner starts with some terrific rolls and oil. Had to ask for some ground pepper and cheese, which they quickly oblige. The arugula salad may be the best arugula salad I have ever had. Large, fresh, the roasted portobello mushrooms and roasted peppers were outstanding, the goat cheese and balsamic dressing were just perfect. I had the eggplant Parmesan. I may have had better, but this one is right up there. The portion size was large, the sauce was outstanding, and I chose the angel hair pasta as my side, and that too was terrific.
