    Chicken Mauricio
    Manny B.

    A culinary institution in the Hampton Bays. My go to place for consistently great Italian fare. The food is always fresh and hot. The chicken Mauricio is my fave- don't know who he is but it's a tasty dish! Never a bad meal here.

    We had another great dining event at V P. Last bought (2/13/21). We were greeted with a smile by the manager upon arrival and were taken to a lovely table in the corner of the dining room. The crowd was a nice side, but the tables spaced out very well. Social distancing and staff with masks and gloves were evident. Our waiter Miguel and busperson Saoulda (I hope I got the spelling correct) took extremely great care of our table. Saoulda made sure that the bread and butter stayed full and the table ckean. Miguel started us off with drinks, espresso martinis, beer all were perfect. We ordered our appetizers (fried calamari and a seafood mac n cheese with shrimp, dinner portion). The appetizers were delicious. The fried calamari were light and tender with a side of tomatoe sauce for dipping. The mac n cheese was a big hit too, nice and creamy with an aldente texture with a crispness from baking. (My mouth's watering) For dinner, we ordered chicken florentine, ravioli, and 2 roast ducks. The roast duck was a beautiful portion, the skin was a nice crispness, the meat very moist and tender, full of flavor topped with a nice cherry and wine (best guess) reduction. The duck , as always at Villa Paul, was perfect. The chicken was delicious as well as the ravioli. Dessert was also amazing, I do not remember what was ordered, I know a toasted almond joy dessert was ordered and delicious, I had a single shot espresso. All in all, dinner, nor the service has ever failed us at V.P. It is always a nice treat to go to and we should go more often. Total cost for dinner was $245 for 4. Tip was extra and I am generous :) !

    Peanut Brickle Cheesecake! Awesome
    Antoine L.

    Villa Paul is the best and perhaps last of Nassau County's "Fine Dining" restaurants. It is actually NOT an Italian restaurant, in the traditional sense, which is a good thing. Rather, Villa Paul is a very fine, "Continental" restaurant. Sort of a survey course of European Culinary Traditions, mostly French and Italian, tweaked to American tastes. They've been doing it for over 50 years and Nobody, does it better. Their Roasted Long Island Duck, served stuffed, crisp and with homemade Cherry Sauce is a standout and worth a trip on its own. Their seafood, locsl Flounder etc is clearly well sourced. The service is professional "Old School" To top it all off, they bring you amazing desserts like the famous Peanut Brickle Cheese Cake and Classics like amazing tartuffo, pistachio mousse and Creme Brulee, etc. The prices are not cheap but compared to NYC, where I'm from, are an absolute bargain given the quality, and service. Bonus: the wine list offers extremely well priced bottle options and top notch reds and whites at $12/glass! If you are a "Lawn Guyland" mook in a Jets jersey who does not own a sport coat, a shrill loud pretentious "real Housewife of da Hamtinz"type or someone more accustomed to $8 Groupon buffets in Flushing ( and dress the part) perhaps this is not your place. If however you are seeking the last of the old school South Fork Fine Dining American Bounty Establishments, get dressed up, head to Villa Paul and Enjoy!

Nice outdoor picnic tables on the deck before the door. Wait service and cool drinks or beer. Insider a few tables for dining in. Very reliably good. Go to chill out and enjoy real locally made soups and fresh seafood.

Shrimp was cut into small pieces and wasn't overly covered with sauce. Shrimp had great flavor and the French fries were very good. I got a steak bowl that came with rice, beans, avocado, sweet plantain, and a nice veggie slaw. The bowl was very good and the steak was pounded out and just very good. The bartender Tara & her sister were great! I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a new place to try. The food and service were great.

Unfortunately, the food is no longer seafood-centric and overall not nearly as good. Music was loud and the service was very lacking. Honestly, other than the frozen tasting mussels, nothing was necessarily bad. The smoky Chicken Quesadilla and Ahi Tuna Street Bowl were even decent. However, majority of everything else was just average at best and not memorable. To top it off, the prices are relatively high for what we received and the service was subpar. No one came to pour us water or take an order after we sat down for 20 minutes. Then a few different servers came by with our food. No refills on our water or check on our status. Next time we saw our server was when she came by to give us the check. Didn't even asked if we wanted dessert. Oh well, we will not be back.

Came here on a Thursday night and was able to grab two seats at the bar. I started off with a cosmo which was made perfectly, served in an insulated martini glass to keep it nice and cold. For starters we had the charbroiled oysters which were unlike any oyster dish I've ever had. Topped with garlic, parmesan and sriracha, the sauce that comes off of these bad boys gets soaked up with the focaccia its served with. Honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten. We also had fried calamari which was solid. For mains, I had the veal Milanese which was perfectly cooked. Crispy, topped with fresh tomatoes and arugula plus shaved parmesan. My brother had the lobster pasta which I tried and was out of this world. The shitake mushrooms in this dish really add a depth of flavor you don't normally find in a lobster pasta. I haven't stopped thinking about those oysters and will absolutely be back. Everything in the Hamptons is expensive, but this place is where you want to spend your money.

I was game and called the restaurant regarding their happy hour times and was told by the hostess that they do not have a happy hour per se but their bar menu is always available and of course there is lunch and dinner and they always have live music. It is a little off the beaten path and is located in an enclave of restaurants on the water i n Hampton Bays. We walked in and were greeted by the hostess. It is an impressive sized space divided into two sections, a bar area where the live music was playing with seating at the bar and some booth seating and opposite this a larger circular dining room with tables for four and six people overlooking the water. We were seated and menus and a wine list was provided. Our waiter was Joseph Z. He was pleasant,the accommodating and efficient. Our drink orders were taken-a Corona beer for my brother and I ordered a Negroni. We gave our meal orders at the same time. My brother ordered the seafood pasta with a side of French fries-[not shoestring-these looked hand cut] and I ordered the sea scallops and a side of asparagus. The meals arrived shortly and we dug in. My brother enjoyed his food [the French fries looked very appealing] My substantally sized scallops were delicious and cooked perfectly. They were sitting on a bed of mashed potatoes, diced peppers and some greens. The asparagus were cooked well, crisp and very tasty. After our meal and some time to digest, we looked at the dessert menu. My brother opted for the tirami su and I was initially looking at the creme brulee but I had had this recently at another restaurant and then decided on the mixed berry crumble. After taking one bite of the mixed berry crumble, I new it I made the right choice. The dessert came out hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and alongside, a small vat of whipped cream and one of additional mixed berries. This dessert was outstanding. To cap this experience, I ordered a cup of espresso. In summary, the restaurant is clean and well maintained [the restroom as well] The staff is polite and the service is quick. We were there on Mother's Day weekend [Friday] and it is not an inexpensive meal, comparable to what I would have paid for a similar meal in New York City. However, it was well worth the money. It was an experience. I would strongly recommend and I hope to return soon.

Five of us walked in and were told that the outside patio was full. However, we were lucky enough to get the only indoor table left. Looking over the menu, we started with a handful of appetizers to share. The dozen Raw Topneck Clams were clean and briny, just how I like them. Fried Calamari was excellent too, crispy and super tender. The Grilled Peach & Burrata was good, but the peach could have been sweeter. Unfortunately, the New England Clam Chowder was too salty and smoky from the bacon. It covered much of the clam flavor that I was looking for. Still decent. However, the Crab Cakes taste more like potato croquettes. These were really bad. Skip! As for the entrees, we were all very impressed with the House Burger. Talk about a perfectly medium rare cooked thick beef patty, nicely charred and juicy. The Pan Seared Scallops with a lobster corn salad was delightful. Lastly, the Vegan Rosa Tagliatelle had a robust garlicky tomato sauce, although we didn't really taste any cashew. Located in by the water with such a gorgeous backdrop, I guess the high prices were expected, and the portion sizes are not bad. Service was friendly when available, but somewhat absent at times. Regardless, I would be satisfied with a meal here whenever I'm back in Hampton Bay.
