    Buffalo Chicken and Sicilian slice
    Andrei L.

    I live pretty close by Cafe Gino's in Westbury and have been here 2-3 times for pizza over the past year. The place is pretty well lit and spacious, with a bunch of tables for casual eating and more on the other side for table service. It's definitely more modern looking and clean feeling than Alfredo's down the road. However, I have to say that the pizza I've had there has been pretty poor by typical Long Island standards. I came in recently with a friend and got a buffalo chicken slice and Sicilian slice. Along with a soda, the meal came out to around $10 (sorry, can't remember the exact amount). The pizza was pretty bad though. Maybe it was because we came in the late evening on a Sunday night, but even then I'd expect a lot better. If you look at my picture, you can see that my buffalo chicken slice doesn't have many pieces of chicken on it at all. A good slice should be covered with chicken in my book. It thus wasn't very filling as well. The Sicilian slice tasted a bit stale and also wasn't very thick. So I was still hungry after I finished. Thus I was disappointed by my visit to Cafe Gino's. For what you get, it is expensive and the quality is lacking. It isn't an utter horror show to warrant a one star rating, but it could be much, much better.

    Garlic Knots - yes, they have them here . . . but as good as they look, they lack that garlic punch we all crave in a good knot . . .

    Stopped by this place literally minutes after going to Toskana Pizzeria, which is just a few blocks south. Tale of the tape: Garlic Knots Contrary to the other reviews for this place, they do have garlic knots here. Perhaps garlic sticks are served if you dine in. At any rate the dough is somewhat light, but so is the garlic flavor. Just like at Toskano, they need to step up their garlic game, on a menu item that has garlic in its name! Penne ala Vodka Slice I was unable to get a cup of vodka sauce, as I was told it was made to order, but they did have almost a whole pie of penne ala vodka left in the case. What struck me first was how crispy the crust was - that crisp was done proper, as was the cheese atop the penne. However, the vodka sauce itself was in somewhat short supply. A bit more would have made for a better taste experience. From what I could tell, the vodka sauce itself was a little bit above ok. It had some flavor, but in my opinion it could have a bit more. If it had the flavor to match the crispiness of the crust, it would have been an amazing, wining combination.

    Went to Gino's for dinner and couldn't be more satisfied with the speedy service and delicious food! The penne alla vodka was perfect

    Margherita slice

    Just as good as the last time I was here(10+ years ago when I lived in the area) they had recently opened a bigger pizzeria, and I have to say...10+ years later and the place still looks brand new. The margherita alive was very good, and my son enjoyed the pepperoni. Would be my go to pizza place if I still lived in the area.

    Thin crust... was ok

Entering the restaurant, you get a feel of Italy with all the Italian artworks depicting scenes of Italy. The menu encompasses a broad range of delicacies including a great assortment of appetizers, numerous panini's, hero's, pizza, salads burgers, etc, but the stars of our dining experience were the food entrees. We began our dining experience munching on a scrumptious basket of garlic bread. I've found, over my many years of dining, that restaurants that serve a great bread basket always follow it up with great food, and this was Mauro. After reviewing a litany of appetizer items, we chose absolutely delicious artichokes oreganata. We followed the appetizer with an order of luscious eggplant parmigiana along with perfectly cooked al dente rigatoni. We also ordered gnocchi with a sublime pomodoro sauce. The sauce was not something typically seen, in as much it contained a nice quantity of onions. For dessert we had a debate between chocolate cake or a cannoli, keeping in mind that the restaurant is owned by a great bakery. Our waitress, Samantha (Sam) who was outstanding throughout, said it's a tossup. We finally agreed on the chocolate cake. When the dessert arrived, to our delight, there was an order of light and very tasty chocolate cake, and a creamy & crispy freshly filled cannoli, compliments of Samantha. In summary, we had an excellent meal coupled with outstanding service what more can you ask for in a restaurant? If possible, I recommend weekday dining. I was told it can busier on the weekend, and I would think noisy. Mangia!

We've always loved his cooking and have since followed him to Monroe's while still frequenting Tesoro's. We started our dinner with an Appetizer of Rice Balls followed by an entree of Salmon in Orange sauce for my partner, and Shrimp & Clam Fra Diavolo over Linguine for myself. As we started to order our choices they also informed us they had initiated a new Price Fixe menu in case we decided to change. We stuck with our original choices but decided after perusing the Price Fixe menu we have to come back very shortly as it offers a great value. What's different about Monroe's is that it's offered 7 days a week except holidays, versus other restaurants that tend to limit the days or hours you can order off a Price fixe menu. It s a good deal at $39.95 for 4-Courses starting with a variety of Appetizers, followed by a choice of two salads, multiple Entrée choices including Pastas, various Chicken dishes, Skirt Steak, Port Chop or Pork Medallions, and Seafood including Red Snapper, Salmon, or Sole. Finishing up with a choice of several desserts to choose from. A complimentary glass of Wine or Beer to also accompany your meal. IMO can't beat the value for 4 courses @ $39.95 and available 7 days a week except for Holidays.
