    Cafe Gio West Babylon, NY @cafegio_restaurant Cafe Gio in West Babylon has been a staple in the community since 1994, serving up some amazing Italian dishes. Great pizza and food is the reason why it's been able to survive over 30 years! We absolutely loved everything we got here and the service was incredible. This is a great spot for date night, a meal with the whole family, or a quick lunch bite. Come check them out! Follow us on Instagram @drinklongislandny for full video review and many more spots!

    The food is tasty, and portions are large enough. Classic Italian plates and plethora of pizzas upfront. Prices would be more palatable if they were a dollar or so less. Dinner entrees come with a large salad and one basket of garlic knots for the table. Menu is large. The waitress was a bit pushy in getting our orders before we had even decided what we wanted, and it made us feel rushed and not relaxed. And when we wanted her we couldn't find her!

    100% probably the best pizza I've tried in Long Island so far. Really beautiful inside also. They had such creative slices, like a clam pizza and one with calamari. I can't wait to go back and try more. Glad i was driving on the service road and came across this place. Definitely put this on your must try pizza spots!

    Baked Ziti delicious .

    Love this place. Came here on a lunch date and have been obsessed ever since. The baked ziti is just how I like it. A flavorful sauce and a healthy portion . These garlic knots are sooooo delicious ! The dressing on the side salad is amazing. Jill is such a fantastic person. I won't even call her a waitress . She makes it seem like you've been friends for years. This is just an overall great place. Good vibes. Good ppl. Good food.

    Avocado chicken salad

    I stopped by Cafe Gio the other night and immediately realized it's been way too long! Sal was as hospitable as ever and my favorite waitress Shannon took great care of us as she always does! She keeps it real and is an absolute hoot. Sal absolutely crushed it as usual. I started with a rice ball (stuffed with bolognese meat sauce) and it was out of this world. I also tried one of his famous garlic knots with chicken parm stuffed inside.. wow.. incredible. Already feeling like I was on the brink of being stuffed and needing a nap, I ordered an avocado chicken salad and took half of it to go. It consisted of mixed greens, tossed with fresh avocado, grilled chicken, walnuts, dried cranberries & mandarin oranges. Their sesame dressing on the side really brought all the different flavors and textures together nicely. Sal - you the man!

    Grabbed a slice of pizza here for the first time. What a beautiful pizzeria slash restaurant. And since a nice selection of pizza. I don't know the name of the slice I got but it had penne and breaded chicken cutlets cut up on top. It was delicious! I will be back!

    Baked Clams

    Walking into this pizzeria/restaurant, there was a great aroma of garlic in the air. The display window had beautiful looking pies but we were there for pasta night. It was quiet when we arrived and our waitress was a really nice young lady. I looked over the menu before we even got there and am happy to say that I would eat EVERY dish there. Fresh, hot, soft, pillowy garlic knots came out first. If their food is anything as good as their garlic knots, then we're in for a treat. I asked for baked clams which had nice toasty breadcrumbs on top and yummy whole clams. I ordered the rigatoni Ala gio, their signature dish with Italian sausage, broccoli rabe and sun dried tomatoes. My husband had the Belezza, fresh tomatoes, basil, marinara, fresh mozzarella in a pink cream sauce. He enjoyed it. We will be returning.

    Of course we are back! We brought my son's friend who just moved here and had to introduce him to…read moresome awesome coal fired pizza. As usual, it was perfectly thin crust. We ordered a new to us pizza: Speck and it was delicious. It was our guest's favorite! This time we also tried the Depequa pie which my daughter because it was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Patio seating is now open since it is summer but we chose to sit inside where it was less noisy. Service was efficient and attentive. Highly recommend!

    We've had this place saved on our " go to" for so long and we decided we're in the area we should…read morejust go! And with hungry stomachs and excitement we decided we see they have a back patio let's eat there. While the space is nicely decorated we saw several staff talking to tables and making eye contact with us and not waiting us. We stayed for another few minutes before we found another staff member and asked if we could just grab a table or do we need to wait. We aren't familiar but given the previous man didn't acknowledge us maybe we could just self sit. The women told us she will be right with us and proceeded giving the other customers water. We said ok and patiently waited. I asked the gentleman at the bar if he could give location for restroom. I took my toddler with me to the long walk around. They really could use a bathroom in the back. But regardless, we went and were hoping to see we had a table on the return. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. My husband was still standing around. We waited for 15 minutes, mind you there were plenty of empty tables. I see this place has amazing reviews, I can't tell if this is just a local spot and they just service them but truly it was baffling to see several people working yet no one could give us a table. Disappointed that this was a save on our list and couldn't even taste it. Poor service

    New favorite spot! So my husband and I went to Mama's in…read moreCopiague last night and wow, what a great evening. The place just feels warm and inviting the second you walk in. We had Greg as our server and I have to say, he really made our night. From the moment he came to our table he was warm, funny, and genuinely made us feel like we were the only people in the restaurant. He knew the menu inside and out and when I was torn between two dishes he gave me the best recommendation without hesitation. He checked in at all the right times without ever feeling intrusive and just had this great energy that set the tone for the whole evening. Honestly Greg alone is a reason to go back. The food was so good too. Everything tasted fresh and the portions were way more generous than I expected. We got specialty cocktails to start and they were so good we ordered another round. Dinner was delicious but the highlight for me was the homemade pistachio cheesecake for dessert. I am not even a big dessert person but that cheesecake was something else. I am still thinking about it today. If you are looking for a great night out on Long Island, just go to Mama's. You will not regret it!

    ** THE FOOD WAS GOOD. THE SERVICE WAS ABYSMAL **…read more This is a beautiful restaurant and I wish I could base this review on aesthetics alone. My family and I are still reeling from our experience here this week. The food here is very good. We all agreed. Unfortunately, we also agreed that the "service" was about the worst we can remember having anywhere. Our server was a male, perhaps mid 40s, light hair, little ponytail, not very tall. We did not get his name. Right from the beginning we noticed something seemed off about him. He was rushing, was clearly agitated, aggressive, and rudely interrupted us when we attempted to ask questions. Appetizer salads arrived at our table even before we were finished ordering our dinners (we still had menus) and when we asked him to *please* slow down, that we wanted to enjoy the dinner, he raised his voice and got visibly angry. We saw him walk away, throw up his hands and shake his head, all in plain view of us. His behavior continued throughout our meal and made the entire experience so unpleasant and uncomfortable. When he brought over a bowl of soup, he said, very loud and sarcastically, "There's a spoon there for ya!" Honestly, he seemed so worked up, I was worried he was going to dump the thing in my lap. Dude clearly has issues he brought to work with him. We also noticed this person openly coughing into his hands, rubbing his nose, and then serving food to another table. (We did mention this to another server as that is pretty disgusting.) We were celebrating a birthday and when we came in we asked the host at the door to please put a candle in whatever dessert we ordered. We provided a bag with a candle. Well, we ordered dessert, but the candle was MIA. Nothing, nada. When we left, they gave us back the bag, but the candle was missing. (!) By this point we weren't even surprised. (And they told us the candle had been in the dessert. It definitely wasn't) One star is for the food, the other is for the kind woman with the long dark hair who also tended to our table for the first hour or so. This is clearly a nice restaurant with a good reputation and good food, but sadly, our visit was terrible; a very bad experience and one we wish we could forget.
