My husband and I decided to try a local restaurant this past Thursday evening around 5:45 PM after…read morehearing great things about the food. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing from the moment we walked in. We were greeted with "How can we help you?" which immediately felt impersonal and not very welcoming for a restaurant setting. It caught me off guard, as I expected a warmer greeting. I asked for a table for two, and despite seeing many empty seats, we were asked if we had a reservation. When I said no, we were told they had many reservations coming in and that we could either wait or return at 8 PM. The interaction felt cold, uninviting, and honestly a bit embarrassing. There was no effort to accommodate us or make us feel valued as potential customers. We chose to leave and went to another restaurant, where we had a much better experience. For me, customer service is everything, and this establishment completely missed the mark. I would not recommend this place, and I would not return.

A home run. This restaurant is the real thing…read more A greeting, waiters in tuxes, things overlooked in so many restaurants. And then there's the food. First of all, bread on the table- many Italian restaurants skipping this. All four adults were pleased with the meal. And Todd's family is in the business. A treasure in RVC.

Not my first time here but there was just so much going on around me that it was difficult to focus on the food portion of the visit. Street parking was fairly easy here and just a short walk back to the restaurant. In the middle of this vibrant restaurant with people speaking, laughing and really enjoying themselves, I get to give a speech. The funny part here was that when I got up to speak, someone having dinner gets up and says: "I know you." Appetizers came out family style. Calamari, salad, and pasta. All very good and very fresh. The serving staff did a great job supporting this large crowd. I also appreciate that what needed to be hot, was hot and what needed to be cool was just that. My main meal consisted of Chicken Francaise which was excellent. Thin tatsy-fresh pieces of chicken with a very tasty francaise sauce. PLenty of food here... No one goes home hungry. Happy to come here, very happy to eat hear and enjoy myself in a very fun family restaurant. The team did an amazing job here and needs to be recognized for all their hard work.

Best restaurant I know of. Not just the best Italian restaurant. Let me start out by saying, my…read moreonly criticism of the place is that the food is so damned good here that I tend to over-order and over-eat. Every time I'm there, I go in with the thought "THIS time I'm going to control myself". And then I do it again...., It's the only place remaining that I can't control my eating! The food is delicious, no matter what I order: meat, fish, appetizers. I could swear the air tastes better... Full menu, it's all great. Prices? Ya know, I used to say: a little expensive. But it seems that their prices have stayed the same while others have gone up, so I no longer regard Livornos as "an expensive restaurant". The last bill (yesterday) undercut my estimate by about 25%! Anyway, getting more than my money's worth at any price. You get free stuff too. They give you that pizza bread along with the regular bread. Some group vegetables at main course time. And in addition to any desserts you order, a LARGE tray of delicious fruit, no additional charge. I wish I knew where they get that fruit from because I can't find fruit in my shopping that matches it in taste. Oh yeah, also free Italian cookies. The service? As polite and efficient as I've ever seen. The owners (I think they're the owners) come around at intervals to make sure everything is okay. I've never had anything to complain about. My fingers are getting tired so I'll stop here. You've been warned.

This quaint and cozy establishment served us fresh food and excellent service! From the Mother's Day menu we both chose the shrimp/clam over linguine with white wine/garlic/oil. A glass of wine for me and Signature Cocktail Lemonade Refresher for him. We shared a mixed berry sorbet for dessert. The placed was packed with other mothers and their families celebrating the day. Barbara our server was friendly and efficient. We never felt crowded or rushed. The noise level was muted, we did not have to shout at each other to be heard. A thoughtful choice for a nationwide celebration. One that will certainly pay it forward, I will be returning soon. I highly recommend you plan a visit..... Thank me later

The place is nice and spacious tables are t on top of each other and the staff were all good. We ordered to drink espresso martinis which I thought were good I believe I have 3. Of course appetizer we ordered a few he wanted to try the meat balls busy did ask to put ricotta on them he thought that were ok, decent. We ordered the baked clams which I believe he enjoyed I thought were just ok. I don't think I am a clams person and I once was. We also got the calamari which was good and flavorful. We did also get the stuffed mushroom which was not my favorite at all. For our entree I ordered rigatoni with shrimp in a vodka sauce it was delicious the shrimp was fresh. He ordered tortellini the sauce was green not sure what kind of sauce it was but he did enjoy it. For dessert my favorite is always crème brûlée so I had to have it I did also enjoy it. I am glad we got a chance to experience this place together it was overall nice.

DODICI SAVED THE DAY!…read more We had an engagement photo shoot scheduled at another restaurant in Rockville Centre this past weekend, but it unfortunately fell through at the last minute. Feeling a bit panicked, we ended up meeting the owner of Dodici Ray, who graciously welcomed us with open arms and immediately let us do our entire photo shoot at his beautiful restaurant. (We can't wait to see the photos!) From the moment we walked in, the entire team, manager Chris, the bartender, and the waitstaff, made us feel so welcome. Our photographer (Danielle Jenkin Photography) was thrilled with the gorgeous decor, particularly the stunning wine wall that made for the perfect romantic backdrop. Throughout the shoot we enjoyed delicious espresso and dirty martinis, followed by a wonderful lunch and celebratory limoncello shots afterward. The food was outstanding! We loved the pappardelle pasta, mussels, octopus, pizza, and my personal favorite, the fried calamari in lemon cherry pepper sauce. We were truly blown away by both the food and the warm, kind service. We are so grateful to Dodici for treating us like family. What started as a stressful situation turned into one of the most wonderful experiences. Dodici is now very special to us, and we will definitely be back soon! Highly recommend!
