    Espresso Martini and Fig Crostini
    Angela S.

    Came here for date night on Saturday. We had an early reservation, around 5:30pm. It wasn't crowded but music was loud. They sat us towards the back. Nice seating area. I noticed later on that there was also seating outside. For drinks I had an espresso martini which was delicious and slightly different as they add Kahlua. My husband had a scotch on the rocks. Not much to say about that lol. For an appetizer we had the fig crostini. Highly recommend and would come here again to get this. For dinner, I had the Chicken Burrata Caprese. This portion was enough for two people. The chicken was crispy and the salad on top was fresh. My husband had the Sweet Chili Salmon. There was not a crumb left on his plate so I guess it was good. For dessert, the hubby got the Affogato. I gotta say the gentleman came to the table and served it correctly by pouring the fresh espresso right onto the ice cream in front of us.

    I've gotten takeout many times and the food, though a bit pricey, has always been very good. First time dining here and it was hit and miss. The inside space is a bit weird especially the bar area. The outdoor patio and side ally entrance is the best part, beautifully decorated and lit. You don't feel like you're in downtown Bay Shore. There is however a very strange tent all they way in the back with tables. I would have been upset if I was seated there. It seemed awkwardly temperature controlled and the feeling that you are dining with everyone in there, not private. A drawback to the outdoor area was that you could clearly hear the music from the restaurant next door. It was so loud, it was high anxiety inducing! Could not hear ITA's music at all. The food again was good, but with some issues. The regular salad was big, and had lovely and fresh ingredients, but was doused in salad dressing. To the point where that's all I could taste. I wanted to eat more but couldn't, the dressing was so overpowering. On the menu, you can get any pasta gluten free or with zucchini noodles. I asked for the zucchini noodles. Our friendly waiter wrote it down, but it was delivered to me with regular pasta. By the time he came back to check on us, I already ate half of it. It was very good, but not what i ordered. He said he could bring me a side of the zucchini noodles, but I said that wasn't necessary. Unfortunately nothing further was done about this mistake on the bill. They should have comped a drink at least. I would try dine in again one more time to see how it goes

    Celebrate my birthday with an amazing dinner at ITA Kitchen! The ambiance was perfect, the service was great, our server Gilberto knew all about the dishes and gave us great recommendations. The food we had was finger licking good! Best part was that I was able to have gluten free pasta as an option and not many places offer gluten free. The clams, carrozza and risotto balls for an app were amazing! My sister enjoyed the vodka parm, we also tried the JJ Money bags and the Branzino was sooo good. I can't wait to go back.

    Everything was incredible. I can't stop thinking about the SPICY RIGATONI. The flavor was everything, the added chicken cutlet was perfectly cooked. The pesto risotto app Ate leftovers for breakfast. There are no rules.

    My friends and I always love going to ITA. The staff is super friendly and the food is GOOD! Besides the fact that you have to pay for a bread basket, it is a great ambiance and a very lively spot.

    We had to stop at ITA this past Friday night after a video of their chicken cutlet bowl went viral online. It was pretty easy for me to get a reservation before it turned late evening, so we had hopes that the dish might be available even though we read it was constantly sold out. After being greeted with super ice cold water (my favorite), we ordered drinks and an appetizer. Wait: we couldn't order an appetizer without having our full meal ready to be ordered, which was super annoying. After gazing at the menu, we ordered fried calamari, spicy rigatoni and the chicken cutlet bowl (so happy it was available!). Note: the chicken cutlet bowl is not listed on their regular menu. I found that a little odd as we couldn't see the price. We were served bread with olive oil and it was extremely delicious. Shortly after, our calamari came out and was pretty good. Wish it had a little more flavor, but we enjoyed it. Our main dishes soon arrived and I had to send mine back as I did not personally appreciate the lump of cheese on top. Our waiter had the chef make me a new dish which was great. My husband's pasta on top of his chicken cutlet bowl was not as spicy as mine (I think mine was too spicy, once again). I wish we could have switched. My husband's dish was enormous and he had to take half of it home. We waited for the check......and waited.....and waited. Our waiter disappeared and we finally flagged him down 15 minutes later, only for him to disappear for another 10. We were in a rush at this point and needed to leave. Annoyed that when we got our check, the chicken cutlet bowl was a whopping $45!!!!!! I thought that was insane. Had we have known that it was this pricy, I don't think my husband would have ordered it. Oh well. Just be prepared. Also, will note that the back of the restaurant is extremely tight. A table behind us ordered mozzarella tableside and everyone had to weave in and out around the table.

    Pistachio cheesecake

    Gotta love ITA! This location is nice, they have a extension outside that's decorated so nicely. The menu is a decent size and the drink menu is too. I loveeee the grilled artichoke, has so much flavor and I literally can't get enough. The eggplant Marco is also one of my favorite dishes! It's nice and crispy and it has a delicious vodka sauce, it's the perfect appetizer. The service was amazing, the server was so attentive and had a lot of suggestions and recommendations. I love their truffle sauce so I always get it! And of course you can't forget about adding the cheese crown!

    Dirty floors

    I had high hopes for this Italian restaurant, but unfortunately, it was a huge letdown. The food was incredibly heavy, drowning in oil and cheese, making it difficult to enjoy. For the high prices they charge, I expected much better quality and balance in the dishes. The risotto balls were cold in the middle. The baked clams were lacking in flavor. The drinks were another disappointment--overly sweet and artificial-tasting, almost undrinkable. Espresso martini flight had carbonation in it which I've never seen. They were way too sweet. On top of that, the restaurant itself felt unclean, with sticky tables and a generally grimy atmosphere. Ex posted nails on the walls, pictures looked like they were cleaned in a while and dust on the couches. There were also buttons missing on the black couches so you can see the screws in the seating. The floor was also dirty along with the menus that looked like they were never cleaned. The dim lighting might have been intended to create ambiance, but it just made the place feel dark and uninviting. I was getting a headache because it was so incredibly dark inside. They advertise chicken tacos on their instagram but they were no where on the menu. I noticed a lot of people ordering out. Which I understand why now. They also make you put in your appetizer and entree in al at once. I understand if the restaurant was packed or if it's a large party but there were two other tables in the restaurant. I felt rushed. The waiter was mumbling and not clear with introducing himself or the menu. I asked for a recommendation and he just explained the dishes and read off the menu. It seemed that he didn't eat there before or was new. Overall, this was not worth the price. There are far better Italian restaurants out there that offer great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and reasonable prices. I won't be returning.

    Truffle macaroni in chicken tacos
    Jess P.

    I came here for my birthday (second time going) and had another amazing experience. The service was great, but the food was even better. They had a "taco Tuesday" special where you get two breaded cutlets as your taco shell and your choice of pastas on the inside. I did the truffle cream sauce and it was to die for. Everyone at the table loved their meals and the portions were huge so we got to take home left overs as well. Would recommend!!

    My first time trying Ita Kitchen was during winter when they have their rented igloos outside for dining. The igloos are more like tents (just a heads up), a little different than the website shows but nonetheless still cool! It was a fun dining experience! Our server was awesome! He was so patient and friendly. Any request we had, he was happy to help us. He really went above and beyond. The food itself was very good! The baked clams were fantastic! I also ordered the chicken parm which was good but seemed to lack a little salt. Overall, this place is classy, elegant and beautiful.

    Baked Vodka Parm
    Kristin W.

    Food was delicious! The baked chicken parm was so good. I got it with rigatoni pasta and the spicy vodka sauce and crown it on top - highly recommend. Two people at my table ordered dinners with steak and they only had one steak left. So one person had to choose another entree. Waitress was apologetic. Waters could have been filled up more or have bigger water glasses. Good music was played! Would come back!

    Ma The Meatballs
    Tiara B.

    My husband and I have been wanting to try this place and the perfect time was for my birthday dinner! We started out at the bar for happy hour with a few glasses of wine. Their happy hour is a great deal and the bar has plenty of seats at i We mixed on to our table for our reservation and started off with an order of the meatballs and calamari. The meatballs were delicious and a great size. They had more than enough sauce. The calamari was nice and crispy and tasty. For our entrees I ordered the Shrimp Luciano and I opted to add linguini to it and I was really happy with my decision. It was full of flavor and has a nice touch of garlic as well. My husband ordered the Chicken Picante which was spicy exactly how he likes it. He also added pasta to his. The portions were good as well as the price point. We both had enough to take leftovers home with us. Overall, the ambiance of the restaurant could be better in the dining room but the food is good and we will definitely make our way back to do happy hour as well as to try some more items on the menu.

    CHICKEN BURRATA CAPRESE
    Linda A.

    After viewing a young influencer on IG https://www.instagram.com/amandasparkles?igsh=eHBta3ZqcXhrY3w My 2 brothers and I had lunch at ITA Kitchen in Bayshore, from the moment we entered and left it was a perfect experience. We had Cindy as our waitress she was absolutely amazing she was able to handle is, we are adult children. Cindy definitely had a smile the entire time she was very helpful with menu suggestions and knowledgeable about the items on the menu. We inquired about the table side mozzarella recommended from the influencer well worth it and a first time experience. I had Ravioli Barreta with pesto, a brother had the same thing adding shrimp, and the other ordered Chicken barrata capris. For dessert we ordered the fried rainbow cookies. Everything was delicious and our waitress Cindy was AMAZING as well

We ordered from here at least once a week, but unfortunately, the quality and customer service have gone downhill. After one major order mistake, I called to have it corrected and was met with an attitude that completely turned me off. I even questioned whether the restaurant had changed ownership because the difference in service and quality was so noticeable. I was told it hadn't, but there was a new manager whom I had actually seen at the restaurant. Despite all of that, my family insisted we give it another chance because they love one particular meal. I refused to order, pay, or pick it up--and sure enough, they forgot the salad dressing (again!) and another part of the order was incorrect. When I called and asked if someone could deliver the missing items I was met with attitude once again. Tonight, we gave them yet another chance, and, surprise, two of our pasta orders were wrong. On top of that, the food simply doesn't taste as good as it used to. I'm really not sure what happened, but between the menu changes, our favorite items disappearing, repeated mistakes, and consistently disappointing customer service, I'm officially done. I've even perfected the "favorite meal" at home on principle. After years of being loyal customers, it's extremely disappointing to say that I will not be going back.

The dining area is not large but there are quite a number of tables and for a Tuesday many were occupied at that time with everyone from couples to families to singles. Complimentary bruschetta was brought along with a bread basket of a rustic bread w/olives and a white bread. There is a very extensive wine list along with a good selection by the glass. The standard menu is huge and they also had a full page of specials. We started with the crab cakes for an app and we mentioned we'd be sharing. I was impressed that they brought us each 1 plated. My brother had a Veal chop special, enough for two meals, that was stuffed with spinach, prosciutto & cheese in a brown mushroom gravy. He enjoyed it tremendously I have a chicken special that was stuffed with spinach, sausage, ricotta in a light tomato sauce. It was very tasty and a large portion. I took half home. There were also several dessert specials, we had a pistachio creme brulee which was just ok and a rainbow cookie crusted cheesecake which was outstanding.

If you cannot find something to eat, there is something wrong. The bar area is very small, so don't plan on spending too much time there before you get seated.

Two things I recommend ordering are their clams and if you eat rabbit, definitely get theirs when it is offered. Portions are huge and the quality of seafood is always fresh.

Not a bad Italian restaurant, but there were small issues that did not give us the experience we were hoping for. Heading in, we told the server that we have about 1.5 hour before our show, making sure he is aware. He said, "No problem. Plenty of time." Sadly, throughout the night, we felt ignored a bit even when we were just simply trying to speed up ordering or pay our bill. I know he was busy with a full house, but we weren't asking for too much. Somehow, it took us nearly the full 1.5 hour to finish the meal, hence rushing to the theater barely on time. Another big issue was food that didn't come out hot. At the suggestion of our server, we ordered a combination platter of appetizers. It was huge with six different items and most of it tasted alright. Unfortunately, several items were not hot. Even worse, the shrimps and mussels were cold, which we brought to our servers attention and asked to take that portion of the platter off the bill. He offered replacements, but we had plenty of food and no time to wait for another round of appetizers, so we declined. After another 20 minutes, he brought us new plates of both items, this time hot. We looked at each other and just went with the flow. With that delay, our time was becoming a little more limited. We received our entrees about 45 mins before our show, which is still okay since the theater was a block away. I enjoyed the well made Veal Marsala, which was huge. Keep in mind that food is served in family style portions. The Penne Siciliana was also huge, but nothing special. We also asked for a Caesar Salad, which was decent. With 25 minutes to go, we said okay to checking out the dessert menu. Unfortunately, 10 minutes passed by before our server brought it over. We simply couldn't afford to chance another delay and just asked for the check. Paying for the bill took almost another 10 minutes, which made us rush to our show. Btw, the shrimp and mussels were not removed as we had asked for. We weren't going to fight it. Like I said, well priced Italian restaurant that serves decent food. Just wish the experience would have been a bit smoother.
