    Linguine and White Clam Sauce
    Chuck G.

    My go to red sauce joint on Long Island. Love this place. The waitstaff was amazing. The dining room had a renovation and I'm sad the big board menu was taken down. Looking forward to my next meal there.

    If you're craving Italian food, I highly recommend La Parma. I tried the veal, rigatoni bolognese, rigatoni alla vodka, and the chicken parmigiana, and everything was bursting with flavor, especially the sauce. The rigatoni alla vodka was definitely our favorite dish. They offer valet parking, and I suggest making a reservation since the restaurant is on the smaller side.

    Been coming here for every special occasion for the past 25+ years. Every birthday, every graduation, every milestone - you name it, this has always been the place! This is/was my favorite restaurant in Long Island and never disappoints. We order the same thing every time and last night's meal missed the mark from a service, ambiance and food standpoint. The revisions to this old school establishment seemed perplexing between the art on the walls which lacked any sort of cohesiveness - felt like the place we call home was suffering an identity crisis. One second you feel like you're at Ethan & Allen and the next: eatily...I missed the homey, downplayed vibe this place used to have. Lla parma is known for the best linguini and white clam sauce and I look forward to it every year...it's always cooked perfectly al dente, same with the veal and eggplant combo - the red sauce is always sweet, to the point where I'd lick my plate clean. This time around, it seemed like the only dish that was nostalgic of the 50 other times we've frequented this establishment was the fried zucchini. Which, if I can make a recommendation (get a serving and a half). Baked clams = lacked garlic and overall flavor (we usually wipe the plate clean with whatever bread we have leftover, this time the overall consensus of our table of 6 was "meh." Linguini and white clam sauce = not the same...something was off Veal and eggplant combo = sauce was tart vs sweet, veal was rather chewy. As far as service was concerned- it's nice to see some female waitresses being introduced to the establishment but both portions on two orders were mixed up and I tend to enjoy being greeted by the same guy who knows our family and our order. He was nice enough to come over to our table and say hi, and seemed more attentive. I love the old-school feel to this establishment and I'm bummed bc I have never once left La parma, feeling unfulfilled...until now. Perhaps there's a new chef? If so, I'd like to know so I can make other arrangements moving forward. This establishment knows my family and for the first time ever, I'm contemplating never going back. Please, don't fix what ain't broken! If there's a new chef, please let us know where the former chef descended to...missed the mark, file that under words I never thought I'd say...

    Delicious $54 bottle of California cab. We really enjoyed it and got lucky to find it locally for $15.99 a bottle

    Great clams on the half shell and delicious clams oreganata. Staff could be better versed in the menu, maybe the chef could explain the dishes. Specials should be on a board, I believe Willis Ave had it years ago, or at least printed. The seafood marinara was fantastic, the most tender calamari we've ever had, delicious sauce to soak up with their awesome table bread. The Juggernaut California Cabernet at $54 was excellent, rich and fruity full bodied wine complemented our meal. We got lucky and found this wine locally for $15.99. The dish we liked the least was the bronzini filet oreganata, it had too much Parmesan cheese and seemed over cooked. Maybe every chef has his own recipe, but we'll steer clear of it next time. [ Oreganata is a classic Italian dish. Oreganata style refers to a mixture of breadcrumbs, olive oil, garlic, and oregano (hence the name "oreganata"). ] Very good food, the Huntington locals and regulars seemed to know what to order.

    Went on a date night back in December out waiter was outstanding. The food was great. We tried the baby lamb chops that were on special. They were spectacular and got the penne à la vodka to split as well. It was a wonderful date night.

    Veal and eggplant

    This was always our go to place. Have been coming here for years. The last couple of times it has just been average and we keep coming back thinking it will get better. Well this time we did take out for a birthday. Paying $154.00 for these less than half filled trays of salted bland tasting food is not the what we expected. As shown theres overcooked,over salted calamari and barely anything in the tray. It was embarrassing to open this tray in front of company. Veal and eggplant was also so salty and over cooked veal. Barely edible. The penne alla vodka was good. Mussels were so small and so much garlic again barely edible. We will not be returning nor would we recommend anymore. Very sad to see this place go so downhill. For the ridiculous price they need to do better.

The Shishito Peppers were also good. When it came to the other food, the Mac and Cheese as well as the Short Rib unfortunately just didn't hit the spot. That being said, I would still recommend checking this place out and trying the calamari!

Took 45 minutes to get our strawberry salad which was delicious. Another 3o minutes go by (and the guy next to me who ordered the other French dip had already finished and left) So the strawberry waiter, after more than 1.15hr walk over and says "hey, we ran out of the French so I ordered you the steak sandwich. Huh? 1 hour and fifteen min later you ran out and the other guy already ate and left? I said great, but I'm not paying for it. 10 min later the owner came out. He could not have been a friendlier, responsible and all around nice person. It wasn't that he not only covered my meal but the table but it was the way he handled it. Owning a restaurant is not easy and problems happen. Food - 8/10 Prices 9/10 Place 8/10 I would not only recommend this place but they have absolutely earned my business. I obviously can't give a 5 because of the incident but I will change this to a 5 when I go back and get the service I have a feeling I'll receive. This owner deserves the business because he knows how to run a business. Money follows the people not the other way around.

We ordered: - Spring Salad (5/5) this tasted so good with the fresh mango, the snap peas, and the carrot ginger dressing. - Faroe Islands Salmon (5/5) I only tasted the rice, and not the salmon itself, but the rice was so good, and I just kept on stealing more from the plate. - Roasted-Half Chicken (4/5) This was my own entrée, and I loved how the chicken was crispy, and I also really liked the garlic mashed potatoes, but the only thing that I did not think worked well with the dish was the swiss chard. I think it would've tasted better with spinach. - Strawberry Cheesecake (4/5) this was surprisingly very light for a cheesecake, we ended up finishing all of it, and the whipped cream was really good.

The space features a contemporary design with a nice bar area, and the waitstaff were friendly, attentive, and on point throughout the evening. They also offer a happy hour menu (though it didn't apply to our visit). Food was more mixed. Overall presentation on the dinner plates missed the mark. The lasagna was solid (about a 3.0)--flavorful enough, but it just sat unevenly in the dish with no real visual appeal. The special osso buco came with a sauce that leaned too sweet; the risotto underneath was tasty, but the dish as a whole didn't quite impress. On the brighter side, the special soft-shell crabs were excellent--served in a Française-style sauce that hit the mark both in flavor and presentation. The fried calamari was fresh and tasty, elevated by the smart addition of fried artichoke hearts. Dessert sealed the night well, the homemade rice pudding sprinkled with walnuts was delicious and definitely worthy of a permanent spot on the menu. A pleasant evening overall, driven by strong atmosphere and service, with a couple of standout dishes balancing out the less memorable ones.

From rich and smoky to spicy, tangy, creamy, and refreshing. Banjara Tikka brought tender chicken thighs layered with yogurt, fried onion and garlic. Mauryaji Basket Chaat delivered chickpeas, potato, tamarind, mint, pomegranate and a creamy yogurt mousse. The Chicken Seekh Kebab was perfectly seasoned and savory with pickled laccha onion, while the Guntur Chilli Chicken Bao turned up the heat with Guntur red chili, sesame and refreshing beetroot shikanji shots. The vegetarian dishes absolutely held their own as well. Chilli Momo with carrot, sesame and seaweed, came out with a soft, delicate bite and a subtle chew, filled with a lightly spiced vegetable mix that leaned savory and aromatic rather than overpowering heat. The Paneer Makhni was rich, velvety, and deeply comforting. The paneer stayed soft and pillowy, soaking up a buttery tomato-cashew gravy that was slightly sweet, gently tangy, and finished with that unmistakable fenugreek aroma that tied everything together. The mains were just as unforgettable. Laal Maas came in bold and unapologetic. Tender goat slow-cooked until it practically melted off the bone, swimming in a deep, smoky gravy built on mathania chilies that brought slow heat. The Shrimp Malai Curry was the complete opposite in tone. Silky coconut milk wrapped around plump tiger shrimp, with Bengali whole spices adding a gentle sweetness and aromatic depth that made the dish feel light yet indulgent at the same time. And somehow dessert still had room to impress. Rose Kulfi was creamy, floral and sweet without being overwhelming. Drinks included everything from the floral, mezcal-and-rooza Gulabo to Mango Lassi. And as someone who historically doesn't like anything rose flavored, I enjoyed both the drink AND the dessert. Just as good as the food, was the service. It is definitely a spot that should not be missed.

Many tables at Dirty Taco and Tequila were occupied and it was pretty busy when we came in, but we were seated after waiting just a little while.

I ordered the Bulgogi Taco and the Bang Bang Shrimp Taco. My favorite was the Bang Bang Shrimp Taco. It had pan fried shrimp, cabbage slaw, tossed in bang bang sauce, sriracha drizzle served on flour tortilla. This taco was packed with flavor and really good. The bulgogi taco didn't have bulgogi, they were steak strips. My husband had the Pork Belly Taco and Korean Short Rib Taco. He really enjoyed it. Our group of 4 stayed for about 2 hours at Dirty Taco and Tequila. They didn't rush us out at all. It's really chill and relaxing atmosphere. I also really like the decor.
