    "***Pepperoni pizza!
    Kayla S.

    Delicious amazing food. Went with my family and it was so incredible! Such a wide variety of options and everything was so yummy. The vibes are lit, a chill wonderful and spacious "cafe" type place. Waiters were so sweet and attentive. The "pepperoni" pizza was PHENOMENAL! And so was everything! Will definitely be returning the next time I'm in the area.

    Mediterranean Salad
    Rachel S.

    Came with a group on a busy Saturday evening. I ordered the Mediterranean Salad. It was a nice sized portion, fresh and tasty. I also tried some bites of the cheese pizza:thin crust with generous cheese, nachos Veracruz: crispy chips with cheese smothered with avocado and purple onions, cherry tomatoes, and jalapeños, and the Italian Nachos: oven roasted nachos smothered in white cheese with a marinara dipping sauce, and also tried the zucchini noodles with a butter garlic sauce. Some other dishes ordered (I didnt try) were Mac & Cheese balls, French onion soup, seared tuna, penne a la vodka, and pizza with vegetarian mergez and red bell peppers. Everything looked appetizing when served. Service was good considering the place was absolutely packed. The only negative were the very filthy bathrooms. I did speak with the manager about this and hope it was addressed at some point.

    Ziti
    Joy N.

    A Kosher restaurant in a beautiful neighborhood in Cedarhurst, NY If you are not familiar with the area, it is worth taking a few minutes to drive down some of the side streets to appreciate the architecture of the residential homes in the area. No cookie cutter homes here. Upper Crust is a lovely restaurant with modern decor. The menu is design to make sure there is something for everyone in your party. We ordered a backed Ziti, a pizza pie and blacken tilapia fish dish. All were perfectly prepared and delicious. The service was fast and friendly. I am happy to have discovered this place and since i have a brother who practices strict Kosher. This will be our go to place when we come downstate to visit.

    First informals for a $20 pizza this is extremely small you can't even allow these people to put a box together how do you make pizza for living in your box is folded backwards please don't be like me and trust these people to make a simple margarita pizza I mean holy shit this just looks like a regular cheese pizza I swear to God this is unacceptable this is by far the worst piece of garbage I have ordered ever..

    Nachos
    Angela M.

    Came here with my husband, brother in law and sister in law on a Saturday night. Wait was kind of long. Food was pretty good too, we all enjoyed it. The nachos were delicious, they had real pieces of avocado. PizzAs are all made with a brick oven. The buffalo pizza was a hit or miss with some of us, I personally liked it, it was creamy and good, others didn't like it as much. Portions are big. Service was decent too. They didn't honor the 20% off check in that's offered on yelp.

    Family dinner for my mom's birthday at Gio's Atlantic Beach proved one thing: Italians don't…read morebelieve in leaving hungry... they believe in needing a forklift to get you back to the car. We kicked things off with the Zucchini Fritti--crispy fried zucchini strings that disappeared into marinara faster than anyone would admit. Then came an espresso martini that was absolutely flawless. Smooth, rich, perfectly balanced, and topped with three coffee beans symbolizing health, wealth, and happiness. After one sip, I was ready to believe in all three. For dinner, the veal cutlet Parmigiana over penne with marinara was pure comfort food done right. Crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. The Chicken Francese was incredibly juicy, swimming in a buttery lemon sauce over rigatoni that made it impossible to stop eating. Then came the special: Chicken Cacciatore with melted mozzarella, sautéed jalapeños, red peppers, and white wine sauce over spaghetti. It brought the heat--and I happily accepted the challenge. Dessert sealed the deal with a rainbow cookie cake layered with colorful sponge cake, covered in chocolate ganache, and finished with whipped cream. To top it all off, the staff surprised my mom with a sparkling candle that made the celebration even more special. Amazing food, outstanding service, and a great night with family. The only thing hotter than the Chicken Cacciatore was the argument over who got the last slice of cake. That's how you know you picked the right Italian restaurant.

    The Chef's Table in Lynbrook was a really impressive experience from start to finish…read more It's tucked away on Watkins Street just off Merrick Road, so it definitely has that true hidden gem feel. The restaurant is warm, comfortable and a little more upscale without feeling stuffy. White tablecloths, great service and very reasonable prices. The service deserves a mention on its own because everyone was incredibly attentive, friendly and genuinely seemed to care about making sure we had a great experience. I started with an Espresso Martini, which was honestly one of the best I've had, followed by a Lychee Martini that was also excellent. For food, the Calamari con Gamberi was a standout for me. I actually prefer calamari braised like this instead of breaded, and theirs was tender and full of flavor with shrimp, cherry peppers, white beans and tomato sauce. The Chef's Table Salad with shrimp was super fresh and light. The goat cheese, pear, prosciutto, pistachios and lemon thyme dressing all worked really well together without the dressing overpowering anything. The Lobster & Crab Ravioli was excellent and that saffron cream sauce was the star. I can absolutely see why this is one of their best sellers. I also tried the Pollo alla Franca with Bell & Evans organic chicken, prosciutto, spinach, artichokes, mozzarella and Port wine mushroom sauce. Rich, flavorful and very well executed. Even though I'm normally not a big dessert person, they make all of their desserts in-house, so I had to try a few. The flourless chocolate cake, warm apple tart and Belgian chocolate mousse were all excellent, especially that mousse -- very rich with a strong Belgian chocolate flavor. This was my first time here, but definitely not my last. Great Italian food, excellent cocktails, fantastic service and a true neighborhood hidden gem. Highly recommend.

Unfortunately the caprese salad and eggplant balls fell short. Will go back again for light bites

In my opinion, this is the best Neapolitan-style pizza I've tried in New York so far, and that's saying a lot because I've tried many! The place also has a cute, quaint ambiance that makes it feel warm and inviting. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which adds even more to the experience.

The server had an attitude the second he came over to us, it wasn't too busy just yet so unsure what his demeanor was about. He told us the specials and walked away. We ordered the fried calamari which came out in a timely manner. After that when we placed our entree order the server didn't come back to ask if we needed refills on anything. The entrees took a lot longer than expected. A table that came in 15 min after us got their food very fast. Once we got our entrees they were good, the food is consistently yummy here. But again our server did not come to see if we needed anything after the entrees were dropped at the table. I had the pasta with clams, it was good but lacked a flavor in the sauce. The calamari was great, crispy and flavorful. And the gnocchi bolognese was good as well, very ricotta leaning. Over all it was good but the waiter put a bad taste in one of my guests mouth which was disappointing. Overall I would give Gran paradiso another shot because they have good Italian but not rushing there due to the service.
