Meatball app was : outta this world" salad was served on a chilled plate. Pizza was fresh crispy hot and savory! Welcomed with a friendly host. Place is bright, light and ample space to navigate through restaurant. Bread was warm and butter was provided. Pricing is very competitive to other local pizzerias. Centrally located to public transportation. I've only come over other times for a quick break for Lunch. This was a nice experience w family and not rushed. Only quitk ...Was waiting for a parking spot for some time as people sit in car on devices. read more

Overall experience was 10/10! 1st the staff was very welcoming and friendly. The space is a bit small but it's homey. My fav is the meatball appetizer. As far as the pizza goes you can't go wrong with whatever you pick. I'm not a fan of their pasta because it comes in a skillet and I think it over cooks the pasta. I love their seasonal drinks. Otherwise, I'm here at least once a month! read more

Such a Disappointing Experience at this establishment. It all started with the negative energy from the hostess as soon as we arrived with our two young kids, a one year-old and five year-old. I understand that not every place is child-friendly, but this is a pizza place! We are excited to introduce our kids to a variety of cuisines from a young age, and we thought pizza would be a good choice. They aren't chicken fingers and fries kinda kids . The food was decent; I wouldn't go as far as to say it was the best pizza I've ever had. However, the meal was overshadowed by the hostess's attitude. Throughout our visit, she kept glaring at us every time one of the kids made even the slightest noise. It felt incredibly unwelcoming. To make matters worse, they do not provide high chairs. When we mentioned that we'd still like to stay despite that, since our one-year-old can sit in a regular chair, it felt like a battle just to get one. It was clear that the hostess was eager for us to leave. Our meal felt rushed, as if we were being timed on how quickly we could eat. Her continual glares were uncomfortable, especially since we were seated right next to the hostess stand. It's unfortunate how much a bad hostess can negatively impact a dining experience. I genuinely hope the management realizes this and considers better training for their staff. Overall, this experience made it clear to me that I won't be returning. They really need to work on creating a welcoming environment for families. Especially because of the town they are located in. read more

I really had high hopes because I heard good things so I decided to try it. The place itself is small and you're practically on top of the other tables which isn't ideal. Second the chairs are insanely uncomfortable hard wood no padding. Staff was nice and patient as my friend decided on her entree. To start we ordered a pizza and it was indeed very good. For our mains I ordered the chicken cordon bleu Marsala. It came out extremely overdone where I couldn't even chew through the pieces on the ends they were singed. I replaced it with the chicken funghi and that dish just fell completely flat. The chicken itself wasn't flavorful and still a bit tough- now the sauce was TERRIBLE. I hate to say that but it was so bad it was thick as can be with so much cornstarch there was no Marsala flavor what so ever. I make Marsala a lot and I've been getting a similar dish at La Piazza for 25 years and it never misses the mark. I took two bites. Dessert was good I had a nice tiramisu. The waitress didn't comp anything on the bill which I felt to be a bit rude but I was so done I paid and left. I would go back for just pizza but for regular entrees not again. read more

We walked in on a Saturday night and all the tables were taken. We waited about 30 minutes. It's a small place but cute decorated inside and dim lighting. They have a full bar (sangria is made fresh and delicious!) Appetizers were bruschetta and meat/cheese board, everything is so fresh. Pizzas are a brick oven and airy crust. Servers are so helpful with the menu and great service. Highly recommend if you can get in one night! *What's strange though and to remember is that they do not offer some sort of call ahead seating nor reservations. They also do not have a phone to physically speak to someone it is only an automated recording. Make sure to not leave anything there or else I have no idea how you get in touch! Lol. read more

We enjoyed our time here at this fun clean cozy place. Food was very good, especially the artichokes.. I can definitely see a larger space, we were lucky to arrive before 5 pm on a weeknight, but the tables do not turn over that quick and there isn't much space to wait. Recommended for sure but be prepared to wait on popular days/times. read more

I had seen Tony and Luigi's for a while after it opened on Merrick Road and finally my wife and I decided to go in and try it last night. We were blown away. The food was outstanding. We shared a Mojito, we shared the Bruschetta special. We shared the Cesar salad and we shared their pasta special. What can I say? The food was more than enough for the two of us and it was incredible. I would highly recommend Tony and Luigi's and we will be back with our friends read more

We walked in around 4pm without reservations for 3 people and were seated immediately. For parties larger than 4 I would suggest reservations because the space is on the smaller side. The other funny thing about this place is that my cousin walked in through the restaurant next door and the waiter said people do that all the time, so now you know. Otherwise, everything was quite excellent even as a vegan because they had vegan cheese and plenty of veg options. Delicious bread and oil as a free appetizer surely won me over. We all split a bottle of red wine under $50 and had a grand old time. I loved the decorations, you don't have to dress up to go here and service was extremely good. I loved the Italian waiter, don't tell my fiance. I definitely recommend! read more

Love this place, was perfect for our date night. I had a smoked apple cider margarita which was delicious. My husband had the lasagna which he loved and I had the eggplant parmesan, both were served in these skillets which kept them hot. Our server was so nice and helpful when my husband couldn't decide between 2 dishes. Will definitely be back soon. read more

Ordered pick up from Uber Eats took over an hour from when we were suppose to get it The food was inedible the pizza was bread with red sauce ice cold the salad was swimming in dressing complete garbage. The pasta was cold and like plastic The fact that you don't have a telephone is amazing. I had to drive to the store and was told that's the way it is !!! With all the Italian places this is the worst never again and I will make sure the neighborhood knows The arrogance of not having a phone to respond to customers is insane. read more

Awesome Pizzas, cheese is very fresh and the tomato sauce is light and fresh ( not acid full of sugar) . Nice cozy place. Food was also very good. It is hard to find a good carpaccio and I have to say this was one of the best I have had in NYC. Also my son was so happy about the beautify clean bathroom that smell so good. We were there by luck after a soccer tournament and I have to say we were so lucky we ended up here. Can wait to go next year! read more

Racist restaurant. Got there around 6:30, was told it's about 25 minutes for a party of 6 so we waited in the car and gave them our number to call. After 30 minutes we went back in to inquire about the table and were told it would be a while longer saying the table is still occupied. Keep in mind the place is small so they kept showing us which table would be ours as it's the only spot that can hold 6+ people. When I went back the third time, I noticed the same seats had people in it and were just getting their food. Mind you, this was over 45 minutes wait now from the original 25 minutes. We decided to go somewhere else because the hostess vibe was kind of weird. Meanwhile, we were still waiting for a call from the hostess to let us know the table is ready. We got home around 10pm and we still did not get a call from the restaurant saying our table is ready. The vibe we got was that we weren't wanted especially from the hostess. read more

Outstanding every time. The specials are great. The pizzas and pastas also. It's like being back in Palermo. One of the must go to places on Long Island read more

We love ordering from here, the food is so good, can't go wrong with whatever you get! Same goes for loutony's next door!

I'll start by saying I ordered takeout on New Year's Eve, so I'm sure that was a contributing factor here... Overall I'd recommend it. The food was VERY good and the staff members I interacted with were awesome. Very nice, tried to be helpful and were very accommodating to everyone that walked in... The one area where this place can improve is operationally. Believe me, I get it was New Year's Eve, but they shut down their online ordering and had a voicemail active that stated they won't be taking any phone calls (and I know this is not the first time they've done this as my father-in-law had the same experience a month or so ago). So the only way for me to actually place my order was to go there in person. I was told it'd be about 30 minutes so I left and came back a half hour later, and still ended up waiting about 25 additional minutes... Definitely something for them to improve on. read more

Quality, homey atmosphere, staff are attentive and hospitable. I went here in 2025 with a friend with cerebral palsy in a wheelchair.. no problem there with being accommodated. Interesting how all the most recent "negative" views are all about not being accommodated for wheelchairs and nothing actually do with an experience actually dining there nor the food lol.. and all within the same day or comparable timeframe with a certain someone.. don't think those reviews are fooling anyone. Keep up the good work guys! read more

Finally got a chance to try this place and wow! Everything was delicious! The cocktails were delicious and the food was superb! Will definitely be coming back! read more

If I could give it zero stars I would. There was one waitress for the whole restaurant on a Saturday afternoon, and she was the bartender as well, so it took her about 20 minutes to take our order the pizza that we got seem to be undercooked, the dough was way too soft And it tasted horrible. We got a side of grilled chicken that smelled horrible and wings that tasted and smelled so bad that we couldn't eat any of it. It was a horrendous experience. read more

This place was extremely nice . Appetizers were excellent. Food was good drinks outstanding. I have to say I'm sorry. But what turned me off to this place. A customer asked for plan pasta with butter . For there 2 year old daughter. There response was WE CANT BOIL WATER. EVERYTHING IS BAED IN OVEN. BECAUSE OF THAT ! I'll never go back ... You cant boil water for a baby . You don't deserve to be in business. I won't trash . But maybe figure something out . Because I'm never going back just because of that... read more

Passed this place a million times waiting for it to open & finally it's open for business! We had a short wait and was put on a wait list (only waited 10 mins, went by quick and got a text message). Owners and staff are extremely friendly and happy to be open. It's so cute and decorated nicely inside. It's not loud in there either which is great because you can have conversations. Lots of menu choices. Meatballs were a great appetizer comes with 3 and margarita pizza was delish it's personal size! Definitely recommend and will be back! read more

Great service and excellent food, I came in on a Tuesday, In a decent size crowd, the owner Lou, greeting everyone as they walked in, he's very kind, and some of the people he knew so they were repeat diners, the food is more Neapolitan style , wood burning pizzas, from personal to mid to large size, they have a full bar with many cocktails to choose from, plenty of parking, Marco was absolutely fantastic. His recommendations were spot on, the staff is very friendly and polite and hospitable., The bruschetta appetizer at three different samples, Traditional, Salmon, & carpaccio.. they were all excellent, the grandma meatballs we're delicious, the good gnocchi, Bolognese cooked in a hot skillet. Also very good, and a touch of spiciness,, they have their pies, white or red. I had the red (Rosa) Porcini E Salsiccia w/ speck Their homemade sparkling sangria was very good, and if you liked traditional Sicilian desserts cassatina it's available read more

Love this local gem! The staff was incredibly accommodating, as we came with a baby carriage and offered to hold it for us in the hallway and brought over a high chair. Staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They were helpful in recommending different items off the menu. The ambiance was cute and cozy. The drinks were absolutely amazing! And very generous pours. We had the meatballs and pizza And ended the night with an affogato. Everything was fresh and tasty! Will def be back read more

I could go on with details about the wonderful service, food and ambience of this four week old gift of a restaurant to Merrick and the South Shore. Our waitress A. (management take note) made a superlative introduction to the restaurant's extensive wine list and was unusually caring and attentive to us. We had the house salad, the Quattro Formaggio pie and two very tasty glasses of Lambrusco ...are you still reading this ? Why oh why oh why are you still here ? You are already late for your first taste of wonderful. Just go ! read more

LOVE!!!!!! I excellent service and delicious food. What more could you ask for! Will definitely return !

Have you ever taken a bite of your meal and it takes you to another place? That is what the amazing food at Tony and Luigi's has done for me. I have been there now a few times and I truly cannot say enough about the food and the spectacular ambiance. From the plates to the decor around you, you will feel like you just stepped into a gem off the streets of Italy. Amazing cocktails and delicious food is truly all you look for . Highly recommended and don't forget to order the meatballs....holy freshness. I have had them every time i have dined in. From the Neapolitan style pizza to the Sicilian desert you caNNOT deny the phenomenal choices and delicious entrees. I hope you take the time to experience this place . The first come first serve aspect is truly not even a thought. You go to the front and give your number and they text you when the table is ready. read more

Our absolute new favorite place to eat! Everything was so fresh and delicious. We had the Formaggi and Salumi for appetizer. Very nice size portion and extremely tasty! We also had the Margherita and Romagnola pizza and they were both outstanding. Their pizzaiolo Lorenzo is an artist when it comes to making pizza. His secret ingredient? Passion! I'm so happy this opened so close to our home and we will definitely be regulars. The owners and staff are warm and welcoming and the restaurant is beautifully decorated and has an amazing vibe! Wait till u see the dishes, you'll feel like you're eating in a restaurant on the Amalfi Coast! read more
