Food is excellent. Service is great. We will definitely come back to this restaurant.

Was here recently. The people who work here and the owner are really really nice and make every effort to be accommodating. That makes it tough for me to write this, because they make for a very nice overall experience. I had Chicken Sorrentino, w/a side of pasta with Vodka Sauce and a Caesar Salad. Let's start with the good. The Caesar Salad was excellent and so was the fresh bread brought to the table. The Chicken Sorrentino was just not very good. Sloppy presentation, just not very tasty. The pasta was overdone, in spite of a request for Al Dente. And the Vodka Sauce was extremely bland. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They were busy so maybe that was part of it although I don't think that should be an excuse.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I truly wish them well. Just a very mediocre meal at best. read more

Had the pleasure of dining at Elisa's last week after hearing several good things about the restaurant. Our party of 5 were there on a Thursday night which happens to be the Wine Specials evening (half price bottles of wine). We ordered one bottle for the table. Upon completion, we ordered another bottle and was told by out waiter he did not think they had any left. The owner then came over and offered us a higher priced bottle at the lower price (great move on his part). The food was outstanding. We shared the eggplant rollatini, roasted cabbage and blueberry meatballs. Loved the variety and not just the same old Italian staples. Our entrees ranged from pasta to fish to veal and chicken. Again, everything was fantastic and portions were nicely sized. Service and food get an A+. Look forward to returning in the near future. read more

This place is an absolute gem. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, and the food is ti die for. We had the chicken casanova and pork chops as entrées, and baked clams and blueberry meatballs for appetizers. They were all soo good, that we'll definitely be returning. read more

Usually we avoid trying a new place for a birthday or anniversary, but we had a generous gift certificate, and we'd heard consistently wonderful things, so we bit the bullet and reserved for the night of Donna's birthday. It was a spectacular success. We started with the cauliflower appetizer, which was as enormous as it was delicious. Birthday girl got the chicken rotini, which was generous, tender and perfectly spiced. I got the pasta in pink sauce with shrimp and scallops. Our waiter Fernando was a total gem. Look forward to many return visits. read more

I found a hair in my food. needless to say, this was not a good experience being my first time at this restaurant. will not be going back.

I was not a fan of the food here. Much better places in the area. The charcuterie appetizer was unimpressive. Thick slices of mortadella and some inferior quality prosciutto and nothing appealing on the platter. I ordered shrimp fradiavlo, and the sauce had a very overpowering flavor to it. Someone in our party ordered an individual pizza and the bottom was completely black and burnt. I will not be going back. read more

My review is based on a delivery experience. I cannot believe all these positive reviews - the food was absolutely awful. Arancini were sour, chicken noodle had no flavor, chicken cordon blue was soaked in a sauce / gravy with mushrooms which made it soggy and it tasted disgusting. Side pasta was an overcooked blob, steamed broccoli was terrible. And not to mention they forgot to deliver a whole pasta dish- maybe it was for the best as I was offered to come pick it up after paying over $100 for this underwhelming experience. Somewhat decent were the zucchini strips and the cheesecake. I will never order from this restaurant again. read more

For my birthday this year my family took me to Elisa's in Bellmore. It was a wonderful experience and I would go again The food was excellent, well prepared and the menu was quite diverse. Our service was helpful especially considering our (then) 10 months old grandson was more interested in tossing the plate as opposed to eating what was in it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was a sort of Italian Farmhouse and to top it off the chef was making fresh pasta in front of our eyes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The online ordering is a horror show. The food is tasteless. Linguini with red clam sauce--couldn't taste any clams. No red sauce... watery pieces of chopped tomato. No flavor at all. Like eating uncoated pasta. Threw it out. Chicken dish....the sauce had flavor. Threw out the chicken. Salad was very good. read more

Great food, excellent service. Extensive menu with great specials all at a very reasonable price. Gluten free friendly too. Highly recommend

This past Saturday night for the first time I went into Alyssa's restaurant which was recommended by a friend. We were a table for four and sat down immediately on our reservation that we placed. The service were very attentive specially our server on our table. I had the chicken rollatini and the chef came out of the kitchen walking the floor I stopped them and told him this was the best chicken rollatini but I've never had. The chicken was nice and soft and tasty the spinach was marinated perfectly in their special white sauce. I had a side order of broccoli which was in the garlic sauce that was stupendous. My wife had the veal parmesan very thin sizeable portion very tasty. My other two friends husband and wife they have meals they express positivity on each one. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is very simple and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My only concern is it's a little too loud with the acoustics.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But that will not dissuade me from coming back again with other friends and family read more

Traditional Italian done right. Friendly greeting by staff and the service was comfortable and welcoming. Diane was so nice. Blueberry meatballs may not be traditional Italian cuisine, but it works. 5 small delicious meatballs in a blueberry port wine reduction... now you get it. The friend Zucchini was golden delicious and enough to feed 8 people. My 2014 Barolo paired perfectly with the Lamb osso bucco, which was on point. Fall-off the bone tender, savory, meaty, flavorful. Vegetable oreganatta should be your side of choice; flavorful and not overcooked. The food was excellent. There is nothing to remotely complain about. Can't wait to go again. They are good at what they do at the level they are at. Cheers! read more

Great neighborhood family owned italian restaurant. It always so enjoyable eating at Eliza's. Chef makes great food and always has great specials to choose from each night. We started we baked clams and needed to ask for more bread to soak up all that delicious sauce. We both decided on pasta for dinner and both were great choices. I went with pasta rollo which was rolled up fresh lasagna. After seeing similar dishes online I always wanted to try it glad they had it and it was delicious. My wife enjoyed her pasta with chicken & broccoli. Since it was Tuesday they have pasta night and both dishes came with a nice salad. read more

Very good food and the staff is amazing!! Was there earlier in the year for a party and went back with my family for dinner.

Just finished dinner here. the parking is a bit of a challenge but they have added spots in a business next door. we didn't have reservations and waited under 10 minutes for a table. it appears they cater to a lot of regulars but we didn't feel left out. our server christian was very pleasant and friendly. it has an interesting menu with unusual options for italian restaurant but also has the usual american italian staples. portions were good. very nice dessert menu too read more

We came here during not too long ago. The restaurant had outdoor seating in the tent available to accommodate for the COVID-19 safety protocols. In addition to the menu they had several daily specials which also sound just as appetizing. One of the specials was a fig crostini with a balsamic vinegar reduction and goat cheese which was great overall with a sweet and tangy flavor. We also ordered entrees. My husband got the chicken franchese and I got the Penne Villa pasta that had baby scallops and shrimp in a pink sauce. Both tasted good, but could of had more seasoning to elevate the complexity of the flavor. Just an addition of fresh herbs would had made the dishes better. Service was good here. Our waiter made sure we had everything we needed during our lunch. I wouldn't say it's the best Italian place in town, but they are worth a go. read more

Started off with the blueberry meatballs and the special portobello mushroom stack. Both were delicious. I ordered the gnocci special, which was in a cream sauce with spinach , tomatoes, and onions . The gnocci were probably one of the best I have had. They were like soft pillows others ordered the Nonnas Pasta with meatballs and sausage. Spinach salad as well. For dessert, we went with the creme Brule cheesecake. It was excellent. Highly recommend Elisa's read more

Food is amazing with the friendliest staff. The whole dining experience is always on point. Highly recommend to all.

I've been to this restaurant a few times for get-together with close friends. The place is definitely small as I feel there's not much leg room, but I'm sure it's because they try to accommodate everyone and I've always gone here with a party of at least 5+ people. The staff is very accommodating and definitely the service has always been great. I do like their chicken Marsala but the chicken Francese is the next contender. read more
