Such a Disappointing Experience at this establishment. It…read moreall 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.

Everything we ordered was flavorful, well prepared, and definitely the highlight of the experience. The atmosphere makes it a nice choice for dinner whether it's a date night or just a good meal out.

But once I did... oh my God, the sandwich was actually really good. It wasn't the most flavorful sandwich I've ever had, but it was definitely filling and easily covered my protein needs for the day. The restaurant itself is very tidy and neat. The vibe is interesting. It feels like a pizzeria, but at the same time it has a bit of an Olive Garden-style atmosphere. It gives off the impression of being a small, family-run place, which I personally liked. Service was prompt and pleasant, and the waitstaff were very nice and welcoming. Overall it was a solid experience and a nice spot if you're looking for a satisfying meal in a clean, friendly environment.

Discovered when I got to car that he gave me free garlic knots and even an extra slice from a pie that just came out the oven. Great experience ordering! Saw them putting out trays of tiramisu that looked awesome too. Says they moved from another location that they were at for 45 years!

Me and my good friend (new character) skittle decided to go to San Marzano before the rest of our friends showed up so we can get some food and chat before it became chaotic. We were greeted by a very kind staff instantly and our bartender Luke (who I definitely do not know) had us seated and comfortable right away. Lemme tell you I felt like royalty there, Luke is very knowledgable about the whole menu and the place and you can tell he is very passionate for his work, and proud that he works there. For an appetizer I got the rice balls, something small and quick before my blood sugar was in the negatives. I was saddened that there was no meat involved because I am growing boy who needs protein but they were extremely good regardless. Very flavorful, and I was really impressed off rip and excited for what was to come. Oh yeah side note skittles has an allergy to literally EVERYTHING. Peanut, treenuts, shellfish, cheese, water, etc. So he literally didn't want anything. Onto the entree! Luke and I discussed what's the most flavorful thing I can obtain with a hefty amount of protein. He looked me dead in my eye and pointed to the Short rib ragu and told me to add a chicken cutlet. He was so confident in that dish I had to get it. I received it and it was really good, it hit the spot. I thought maybe a little more garlic throughout, I thought the salt was overdone a tad, but the pasta was awesome the short rib was a good portion, and the chicken cutlet was your typical long island cutlet. Actually a great dish that I would get again. I then was in need of a sweet treat. That's how you know I was satisfied.. I don't like desserts or I'm not a fan of really any sugary delight, but I was so relaxed I felt like I had to. I got this hardened chocolate shell with three flavors of ice cream inside and it was good! Again I'm not too fond of sweets so after about five bites I was dead, but then Doctor Bs wife spawned out of literal nowhere and ate the rest. Then about 12 more people arrived and watching Luke in action was like watching Jalen brunson drop 45 on the spurs. Total confidence and was extremely efficient. He then made me a fig martini which also was cool! Had a nice color and a perfect starting drink for the knicks game. I have to give my props to the rest of the staff too, including the manager. Everyone worked very well together and it makes me very happy to see a business come together with the same goal to work collectively to run the place as efficient as possible. Great job, will be back.

Whenever I think about the 90's and childhood, I'm reminded of their Pizza. Boom boxes, high tops, spandex and a slice from Pat's. My father practically lived in their shop. He couldn't go grocery shopping without stopping in for a slice. Tony and Pat are such kind people. They served the neighborhood for years and when they moved down the road, the only thing that changed was their address. The true and literal definition of a Mom & Pop shop here. Now they're further down Nassau Road closer to Roosevelt and next to Blimpie. Still as delicious as I remember. Tony is still dishing out great slices and his Philly Steak is just as I remembered it. There's something about the bread he uses, the thinly slices Steak and I always order mine with mozzarella. Undeniably delicious. If you're in the area. Stop by for a Steak or slice!

In previous visits I was unimpressed with the pizza at this place. Though what has not changed is…read morethat, coming here in the early dinner hour, the place is empty and there's nearly nothing on the counter that looks like it recently came out of the oven. Most of the slices seem like they've been sitting, cold. This time, however, I enjoyed both slices that I took home. The proprietor recommended his inside out pizza, which sports the cheese on the inside and the sauce on the top. I have to admit, it turned out to be a good slice, but mostly because the crust was excellent. For me, I make the cheese nice and well done in my toaster oven/air fryer. Obviously, this was impossible to do with the sauce on the top; nonetheless, as I said, it was good. The other slice I brought home was a barbecue chicken slice. With that one, I did something that I've tried twice before and it's an excellent recommendation if you want to try: heat this barbecue chicken slice very well and then put cold ripe avocado on top; mash it a little. Makes a really delicious combination. You'll thank me for it. All in all, Luca's is a place that I plan on revisiting. Kind of surprised me; I came here out of necessity tonight, not expecting too much. Pleasantly surprised.

Upon opening the cavatelli in meat sauce, it was a full to the top serving. When we opened the penne à la vodka tins...they were one single layer of pasta equaling a half tin. When we combined both tins, they made one full tin. This is crazy. I know it's a good deal but splitting one dish into two portions is really disappointing from a place, I've ordered from for decades. Then the pasta was so overcooked, we could have used it as paste. I don't know what's wrong here but the last two times we ordered pasta night were just disappointing and greedy. My recommendation is if you want your full meal order different dishes.
