    What a great little spot. It feels very small in the best way. It gives off hidden gem feels and I love that. The drinks were really good, but the food was great! The bread and little plate of antipasto was a nice way to start. We ordered the short rib ragu with homemade cavatelli and cace e Pepe. I loved the cavatelli. I'm craving it just thinking about it. It was full of flavor and the short rib was so tender. The pasta was cooked perfectly. The Cace e Pepe had too much pepper for my liking, but my husband and two year old loved it. I'm looking forward to going back soon.

    Really fantastic spot and glad we came here! Tucked just outside of Huntington's Main Street, Cefalu serves quality Italian food with a nice (and affordable) wine list - just need to ask for it. The list of cocktails seems pretty classic and you can't go wrong with any of the selections The restaurant was pretty busy during prime dinner on Saturday but I think you can still walk in. The smell of the pizza by the slice right when you walk in is intoxicating and you know you're in for a treat. We got: Cacio e Pepe bites - pretty good with a nice sauce. I could recommend but not a must-have Fungo pizza - really amazing and balanced with the truffle oil Margarita pizza - solid pizza, the sauce is on the slightly sweeter side. Both pizzas had a nicely made dough on them Vodka sauce pasta w/ burrata - so good and would recommend. A very good vodka sauce Clam pasta - also very good with decent number of clams Tiramisu - not that sweet and perfect with the whipped cream. Really delicious tiramisu Crème Brûlée - also very good Service here is attentive and I'm a fan!

    So since my last review I've come here a dozen more times for the wonderful happy hour. Today after a hard day at work I stopped in for happy hour and to my surprise I was told Joe discontinued it a few weeks ago, WTF?!!! Happy hour is still listed on the restaurant website I guess it did not matter because I had to pay full price Sorry Cefalu I need to find another happy hour location

    Sword Fish, over cooked.

    We visited Cefalu as a recommendation for a family get together. I have only been once prior to Cefalu for a slice of pizza while I was on the run. Cefalu is located on top of a hill as you approach from west to east. They have indoor and outdoor dining with an airy appeal even if you are dining indoors. From what I read, Cefalu menu is inspired by the beloved culinary traditions of Sicily. Sicily is a place I have been twice, and I love dining in the Sicilian cuisine. Sicilian cuisine is known for using locally sourced ingredients, such as fresh seafood, vegetables, and citrus fruits. I once dined in Trapani and had their pasta with sword fish. It was to die for. The service was excellent, and our family get together could not have been any more perfect. We ordered appetizers to share with the group which were good. I was staying away from pasta at the time, so I ordered the sword fish as an entrée. That was disappointing, and a poor choice by me. The sword fish was not up to par. My photo of the dish is on Yelp. However, I am not intending to judge a restaurant by one dish I was not impressed with. I look forward to visiting the restaurant soon and venture into their other menu items.

    Stopped by the give them a chance cause we did love the old location - but they rebranded and I saw some good things via Google, Yelp... well we LOVED the food! The baked clams are a MUST. Our 12 little necks, were absolutely superb. Didn't have to add lemon the flavor was ON POINT! Then for our mains we had the Spicy Rigatoni vodka with Burrata which was really delicious and not too heavy surprisingly. I had a Caesar salad with blackened chicken probably one of the best EVER. Dressing, cheese, and those croutons all tasted perfect together, and it had kale so I felt like I was eating healthy . Service was very kind and helpful- and even though they didn't have printed lunch menus at the time we dined we still ordered from the lunch menu (from their website) and got the lunch prices. What I would like them to work on. The interior is still in need of sprucing up. I enjoyed the abstract art inside, but the walls do need a fresh coat of paint maybe something bold, but the concept inside needs an identity. At least the place is casual and not over priced and not pretentious like the places in the Huntington village. Front Patio is lovely and is well decorated. Once again great food, nice staff, and lovely location, just need a little love inside.

I literally bought one mini baguette, took a bite outside the store and walked right back in for 4 more. It is THAT good. The texture and flavor was simply perfect, and having to warmed with a schemer cutter was heavenly. Now it's important to note that I live at least 30 minutes away, and returned 3x since my first visit to try their breads. TBH, it doesn't even matter what you get! They are ALL the BEST versions of whatever bread it is! I literally walked out today with 6 loaves of bread and as a carb-a-holic, I am here to confirm that Duck Island has THE BEST bread in NY.

Not only did these set me back $9 total, but were annoying to eat and not worth the cost at all. The minimal chocolate filling had sunken to the bottom and completely fused to the wrappers, and the muffins were very dry inside, not soft and fudgey like chocolate babka should be. Everything they have looks and sounds incredible, but the two muffins I got were very overpriced and not nearly good enough to be worth it. Additionally, the parking situation is a nightmare, with people parking in spots that don't exist in a lot that's already way too tight.

Subbed cheddar for smoke Gouda and added bacon. HOLY HELL. This burrito brought up emotions I haven't felt for a breakfast in centuries. Warm and melty, it wasn't like any of these greasy, wet, fat covered offerings from other delis or breakfast shops around the island. Or that I've had in NY in general. They chopped the bacon, which let's be serious here, is the only way to do it. Eggs were fluffy, light. Cheese was nothing short of smoked magnificence. But the pièce de résistance, the glue that brings your taste buds to their knees, the tots. If you don't like tots, you're wrong. And these tots were somehow crispy and soft. No oil, no sog. The chipotle sauce brings it all home and then they grill the whole damn thing and serve it to you on a platter of gold and diamonds. At least that's how it felt. Do I recommend this? Uh duhhhhhh. 5 stars. All day.

    An absolutely amazing experience from start to finish!…read more I've always loved Jora in Long Island City and had been wanting to go back, but then I heard about Urubamba Pisco Bar. I was excited to learn it's the sister restaurant, owned by the same family, so my expectations were high...and they absolutely met! My family was visiting, and it was the perfect opportunity to finally try it. We started with the Ceviche Mixto and Grilled Octopus, both of which were incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. For our entrées, we ordered the Pollo a la Brasa, Adobo, and Tallarines a la Huancaína, and every single dish was outstanding. The flavors were authentic, rich, and perfectly executed. The cocktails were just as impressive...unique, creative, delicious, and every bit as good a expected. The service was warm and welcoming... and the entire experience felt like a true family restaurant. The biggest compliment? My 5-year-old nephew couldn't stop licking his fingers because he loved the food so much! I can't wait to come back and highly recommend Urubamba Pisco Bar to anyone looking for incredible Peruvian cuisine, amazing drinks, and exceptional hospitality.
