Truffle Linguini
Isabel J.

I been wanting to check this place out for months and since it was a really cold night we decided to eat local. The place doesn't look like much from the outside but it's nice in the inside. I was happily surprised when the server told us that they had half price on all wine bottles every Wednesday. For starters we went with the prosciutto with buffalo mozzarella. The portion was large and very tasty. The mozzarella was a little too cold for my taste but it got better as it sat on the table. For my entree I had one of the daily specials homemade linguini with truffles in a cream sauce. I added some shrimp. This dish was superb. It reminded me of the amazing pasta dishes I had when I visit Italy. My husband had the salmon and said it was great. I don't eat salmon and didn't taste it myself. We finished our meal with the pana cotta. It was good but nothing to rave about. Our server was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Overall our meal was excellent. We will definitely be coming back and can't wait to try more of their amazing pasta dishes.

Rigatoni Sausage and Mushrooms

Enjoyed the chicken Milanese (special), fried calamari and pastas were delicious! Very cozy and friendly service.

Arugula and Parmigiano w/cherry tomatoes from main menu, Buffala mozzarella and prosciutto special and yummy bread
Harris B.

Been too long...I love this place! Arugula and cherry tomatoes is amazing with lemon, EVOO and pepper. The buffala mozz with prosciutto both perfect! The bread is just good, but the EVOO on the table is fantastic and with just a bit of salt pepper and the bread...magic. Loved the wine! A montepulciano for $36 that was really great not good...unheqrd of in NyC... For entrees...We had a rigatoni night...four cheese with truffle Rigatoni Sausage and Mushrooms with a pink sauce, which is not some creamy pink sauce like a shitty place pink sauce...amazing!! And I am not normally a pink sauce fan. The ambiance is perfect, somewhat dimly lit, but perfectly lit at the table on the food... Finished off dinner with some homemade arancello (orange) and lemoncello, and well, I'm not a huge, lemoncello guy, my wife loved it, and I thought the arancello was amazing The service was perfect,

Homemade Chocolate Terrine

I love love love Concettina's Rigatoni with Sausage, Mushrooms & Smoked Mozzarella and Homemade Chocolate Terrine dessert. I've gotten the Rigatoni with Sausage, Mushrooms & Smoked Mozzarella on three different occasions and it never disappoints. It is very tasty and has a hint of smokiness that is delicious. Make sure to ask for additional bread, if you're like me, you will be using the bread to finish the sauce, leaving the plate clean. I really like their Fried Calamari and Fried Zucchini. The batter is very light so it doesn't overpower the calamari or zucchini. It's crisp and delicious. The Homemade Squid Ink Pasta was also very good. It's definitely lighter than the Rigatoni. I enjoyed it just the same. The Homemade Chocolate Terrine dessert was just what we were looking for to finish out our meal. It was like a smooth mousse texture with espresso whipped cream, toasted almonds and shaved chocolate on top. The service at Concettina is great! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. I don't really enjoy restaurants that are noisy and boisterous like a loud family dinner. Concettina is definitely not one of those restaurants. Concettina has a quieter feel. And, it's warm and welcoming.

Calamari and Zucchini Fritti for 2pp
Elton C.

Honestly wasn't expecting much when I went on yelp to find the nearest Italian restaurant near me that I didn't try yet. Saw this restaurant with great reviews and decided to give it a try. Upon arriving I noticed that it was a small restaurant sort of hidden in between stores but also didn't think much of it. First thing is note is the phenomenal service by the waitresses and even the host. Secondly is the food is beyond amazing. I went with the special of the day which was squid ink risotto with shrimp and wowwww I could not stop till the bowl was scraped empty. But if this a first date this isn't something you should order considering the color it left in my mouth. This is a def hidden gem and absolutely worth giving a try. The food was delicious and I'm definitely coming back.

Special: Prosciutto & Bufala Mozzarella
Betty W.

Came here on a rainy Sunday night and want to try this local Italian restaurant. We ordered the special, prosciutto and Bufala mozzarella and the mussels. They were both amazing starters. The prosciutto and cheese was simple and delicious, good meat and good cheese. Classic. The mussels were in a red sauce and again delicious. The mussels were fresh and plump. For entrees, I got the bolognese and my bf got the squid ink pasta. Again can't go wrong with these choices. Both made with fresh pasta the texture was great, the sauces were also good. Nothing to really complain about, just a very homey local restaurant with good food. Great for when you're craving some Italian food close by.

OMG the Calamari and Zucchini Fritti for 2pp
Melanie D.

The best Italian I've ever had. On willets point, it's easy to find and parking isn't an issue. it's family owned and the attentive service is unmatched. The apps we're delish, we started with the fried calamari and zucchini. The marinara was amazing. As for the entrees, I went with the snapper and I've never had snapper. It was beyond my expectations, the asparagus was well cooked also. The dessert was my favorite, not only do they secretly have limoncello, they have ORANGECELLO! The first time ive ever heard of that! I got tipsy pretty quick with 2 shots and a glass of wine. Such a lovely family - I'll be coming back!

Black squid ink risotto
Jen C.

Going to the restaurant for the second time after we had such an amazing dinner the first time we were here, I was very disappointed. It was Christmas Eve and we ordered from the Christmas Eve menu. My brother-in-law, his wife, my husband and I ordered the black squid ink risotto, lobster ravioli, black spaghetti with shrimp, and fried calamari shrimp and bay scallops, respectively. We were all underwhelmed with our dishes and none were flavorful nor memorable (All dishes were also at least $30 a plate). The Mussels Fra Diavolo we ordered as an appetizer was better than all our entrees, but could have been spicier in my opinion. We also had the homemade tiramisu and chocolate terrine, which on the upside, were good. Needless to say, I don't think I'll be back except to order the beef bolognese and salmon Farfalle, which we had the first time we visited the restaurant. Other than those two dishes, I don't think I would try anything new on the menu.

Maria's Mediterranean has definitely become one of my favorite spots on Long Island. I've been here…read moremany times, and my usual orders--the Grilled Chicken Breast, Beef Souvlaki, crispy Calamari, or the small meat platter--are consistently fantastic. There is something truly special about their seasoning that makes every single dish amazing. What really sets Maria's apart, besides the incredible food, is the outstanding hospitality. Maria and her staff treat everyone like family from the moment you walk through the door. It's that rare, warm atmosphere combined with consistently delicious food that makes this a place I always look forward to returning to. Food (5/5): Consistent and amazing. The seasoning is excellent, whether you're getting the juicy grilled chicken, perfect souvlaki, or the crispy calamari. Customer Service (5/5): Exceptional. Maria and her team offer the kind of genuine hospitality that makes you feel like part of the family. Decor (4/5): Warm, inviting, and comfortable--the perfect setting for a great neighborhood spot. Price: Around $35.00 per person.

All I can say is WOW ! If I lived near this place, I would be here frequently…read more We walked in on the early side.... before any kind of rush...and we had the restaurant to ourselves. There's a lovely rustic, yet high end vibe. It's also immaculate. Our server was fantastic...just the right balance of friendly, attentive and helpful. It was hard to choose appetizers because I actually wanted one of each. There aren't a lot of Mediterranean choices near where I live currently so my eyes were definitely WAY bigger than my stomach. That said, we shared the halloumi and three different dips served with warm pita. Then we added a last minute choice of grilled sweet sausage for my stepdad. Before we even received our appetizers, they brought a lovely pile of warm pita with delicious sides to accompany: olives, white bean spread, and red pepper hummus (I believe... whatever it was, it was delicious!). The appetizers were outstanding and it was really hard to pick a favorite. Each one of the dips was delightful: taramasalata, hummus, and eggplant. I tasted a bite of the sausage and I understood why my stepdad enjoyed it so much (perfectly cooked and just the right amount of seasoning). The appetizers were new to my mom and she truly enjoyed everything. Her main course was crabcakes and she raved about those as well. I chose the Souvlaki with a side of grilled vegetables and it was exactly what I wanted with perfectly spiced and not overcooked cubes of chicken. The other grilled chicken dish got a huge thumbs up...and that's from a super picky eater. We topped everything off by sharing a large piece of cake that was very decadent....and even though I love chocolate,.... no way I could've finished it by myself. It had an Oreo crust and the rest was a rich chocolate mousse. Next time? Baklava. Looking forward to going back to visit the fam and enjoying Maria's again. Maybe they can open up a location near Saratoga? Just saying...

We have been customers of Gyro Corner for years. The last time we ordered, it was excellent as it…read moreusually is. This time however, they truly dropped the ball. The Greek fries were a soggy, mushy mess. The kabob was way too overdone and chewy and tough with no flavor at all. The chicken gyro was scant and tasteless - nothing but an explosion of lettuce when opened. One of the lemon wedges still had the stickers on it. Not one, but two stickers. Makes me wonder..... were they even washed??? The baklava was standard. The rice pudding is always good. My husband and son enjoyed their regular gyros. We will of course give them another chance because we've ordered from them for so long, but for over $100, this meal was terrible.

I had Gyro World during a Yelp event and honestly, it was much better then than it was on this…read morevisit. The service was still good, and the ambiance is bright and welcoming, which I appreciated. The gyro itself was just okay this time, nothing too memorable. The fries were good definitely needed some salt, but that's just my personal preference. The chicken skewer was solid and probably the highlight of the meal. My biggest issue was the Greek salad. It was mostly cucumbers, and the feta cheese had a really strange flavor. I'm not sure what brand they use, but I've never tasted feta like that before, and not in a good way. It completely threw me off. That experience alone was enough to turn me away. I think I'll stick with the pricier Greek spots that I know are more consistent.

The absolutely best Greek restaurant in the area hands down. We've probably been at least a dozen…read moretimes in the past few years and it's never disappointing. The service is always great. You can sit in the outdoor backyard area, which is open during the warmer months. The food is absolutely amazing. We always get the dip sampler with hummus, eggplant, tzatziki and the grape leaves. Most of the entrees come with additional pita, tzatziki, a soup or salad, and a side dish. The vegetarian moussaka is my absolute favorite dish. It's hard to find a vegetarian version and this one is particularly amazing. The rice is delicious and the lentil soup is great too. The baklava is the best way to end the meal. It's syrupy and a great dessert to share.

Came on a Friday night for dinner. We were seated right away even though our full party hadn't…read morearrived yet so that was nice of them! We ordered the four dips and pita to start. Definitely recommend trying the eggplant and tzaziki. We also got the pork and chicken doners. Usually the pork is better but the chicken was outstanding that night so will be trying it as my main for next time. Got a little busy as the night went on and the tables are a bit close together but it's expected on a Friday night. Overall great experience as usual and will be back again. Pro-tip: they have a free rewards system so you can bank points every time you eat there. Then you can cash in for a discount after a certain amount.

They care about their patrons and do everything in their power to make you feel welcome. The decor is simple and uncluttered. Just the right amount of art and adornments, without feeling suffocated. My waiter, Khalil, is a fine gentleman and very personable. He would be welcome at my table anytime. Now for the food: We had the appetizer combo, which consisted of a spinach dish, hummus and pitas, and samosas. Best hummus I've ever had. Spinach was spicy and delicious. Samosa was excellent. For the main course we ordered a kebab platter for 4 people. Three kabobs of your choice, served with white or green (dill) rice. The kabobs here are the best I've ever had (I've been here many times, but this is my first review). This is one of my favorite restaurants in the five boroughs. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.
