Not my first time here but there was just so much going on around me that it was difficult to focus on the food portion of the visit. Street parking was fairly easy here and just a short walk back to the restaurant. In the middle of this vibrant restaurant with people speaking, laughing and really enjoying themselves, I get to give a speech. The funny part here was that when I got up to speak, someone having dinner gets up and says: "I know you." Appetizers came out family style. Calamari, salad, and pasta. All very good and very fresh. The serving staff did a great job supporting this large crowd. I also appreciate that what needed to be hot, was hot and what needed to be cool was just that. My main meal consisted of Chicken Francaise which was excellent. Thin tatsy-fresh pieces of chicken with a very tasty francaise sauce. PLenty of food here... No one goes home hungry. Happy to come here, very happy to eat hear and enjoy myself in a very fun family restaurant. The team did an amazing job here and needs to be recognized for all their hard work.

Livorno in Lynbrook is a hidden gem that deserves more accolades. Located conveniently right off…read moreof Sunrise Highway, Livorno is a among my top favorite Italian restaurants in Nassau County. When you enter their space, you can see pictures on the walls of previous guests, then the owner will come right over to you, greet you, and get you to your table. There is a bar area that you can wait at if it's a busy night. THE GROWS: Parking is on-street, or a short walk to a lot. READ THE SIGNAGE. Depending on the time of day and day of the week you go, parking can be annoying, but the food is worth it! THE GLOWS: Once you are seated, you will be greeted with complimentary caponata and a bread basket with a ton of bread choices. Additionally, they will give you a tray of bruschetta, with one piece per person. They also leave a bottle of their own olive oil on the table. During my latest visit, I enjoyed a glass of chianti, their stuffed zucchini flowers, and a risotto special. There are SO MANY menu choices. I highly recommend going with a few people and all ordering something different, that way you have a tour of their impressive menu. They do not have a social media presence, but they do have a website that they keep updated. They are also "Dining Deal Foodie" approved, because they offer a lunch special for $21.95, which includes 3 courses AND coffee, tea, espresso, or cappuccino. WOW!

We had read a lot of positive reviews about Selita's on Yelp and had also seen quite a few…read moreadvertisements and specials for the restaurant on Facebook, so we decided to finally give it a try. Unfortunately, Selita's failed with the first impression. We walked past a very small bar and into the dining room, which had a musty smell. The green walls, red leather tufted seats, and mirrors on the walls gave the place a very dated, old-fashioned feel. Since it was our first time there, we decided to play it safe and just order a couple of appetizers. We had the grilled octopus and the eggplant Parmigiana. The eggplant Parmigiana was tasty, but we would not consider it an authentic Italian dish. The grilled octopus, on the other hand, was a completely different story. It was incredibly tough and chewy - honestly, it was like eating a garden hose. It really seemed as though it had been cooked ahead of time and then reheated. When we left, my wife looked at me and said, "We're never coming back here again." Unfortunately, I had to agree. That's really a shame because we genuinely wanted to like Selita's. It's close to home, and we were hoping to find a new local favorite. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I suppose that's the chance you take when trying a new restaurant. Sometimes you find a gem, and sometimes you don't. Unfortunately, Selita's was a "swing and a miss" for us.

So she told him to give me the slices you see here. I know it's random but there was a large selection to chooses from. I told the man that helped that it wasn't very nice. All he could do was shrug his shoulders. I love pizza and always looking for new restaurants. I guess I have to now take this one off the list. The crust could be more flavorful and the Sicilian could be less doughy - I could get past that but the rudeness I can not. The 2 starts is for the service the pizza is a 3.

Well let's start with the slice, hands down the worst slice I've had in New York and that's saying a lot. It's really hard to find a bad slice in NY but this place has got your back if you want one. Bland, cold and not cooked well. The Pasta, all of Italy is in mourning after this dish. The pasta was extremely undercooked, I love al dente but this wasn't even in the realm, the sauce was watery and barely even coating the pasta, the shrimp no flavor, no sauce clearly cooked in water and just thrown on with no thoughts. The New England Clam Chowder, solid flavor profile just one huge issue. NO CLAMS!!! The Italian Cheesecake was meh, just run of the mill low star bakery quality. It may be Memorial Day weekend but this meal was all the wrong memories and a living nightmare.
