Overpriced for small portions of below average Italian food. As other reviewers have stated, there is definitely better Italian food for less money. This was my first time visiting La piazza and it will absolutely be my last. Don't waste your time! read more

First off, kudos to La P for being so amazing through this pandemic. Their delivery came to me so quickly and it was always accurate, hot, and fresh. We are so appreciative of them for being so accomodating. We dined here for our first time eating out since the pandemic. The food was great as usual. There was plenty of distance between the tables, and the workers were thoroughly scrubbing each table and menus down after each use. Our waiter was very accomodating and also meticulous about cleanliness. It was very reassuring, and we cannot wait to come back to eat again. We are lucky to have this, considering all we've been through the last 3 months! read more

First restaurant indoor experience post covid in August. Food and wine was good ambiance was also great will definitely go back!

Sorry to say that we went back the other night and it isn't the same. The food was okay but the service was not the same. They never came back to see if we needed any more drinks, the waiter never brought the grating cheese to the table. We were four adults and three kids and they added a 20% tip on the bill!!! Normally if it's over 6 people they add a 15% gratuity and you can add more if you feel it was deserved. I guess we won't be going back there anymore. read more

1st visit after checking reviews, nothing special. Chicken Parm dinner To-Go with upgrade pasta to Penne Ala Vodka... chicken parm was super bland and just mush!!! $30 was saved by a side dish of decent Penne Ala Vodka! read more

Went for lunch, disappointed to se employees w/o masks though mandates lifted, a little uncomfortable.. small lunch portions; got the rigatoni just ok with only 4or 5.. chose not to have dessert here & went to Cheesecake Factory & felt more comfortable as their employees are masked up.. read more

I had high hopes for La Piazza but it was a huge letdown. The one in Plainview has great pizza, the Melville one only offered personal pies. I had the chicken parmigiana, it was a small piece of boring chicken, accompanied by a child's size amount of pasta with watery, tasteless marinara. The bread was cold and came late. We had calamari apps, nothing special at call. Salads were boring. Acoustics are horrific as there are so many hard surfaces. The mystery is why it's often busy when I drive by, which I plan on doing again as I certainly won't be dining there. read more

My family and I were on the way to Walt Whitman Mall when I caught this huge restaurant in my peripheral. Doing a double take, I quickly searched the restaurant on Yelp and made my family U-turn so we could try out this establishment! It was Sunday noon and we were the only customers in sight but that didn't bother us since we were looking to get quick service. It was a nice day outside so my family wanted to sit outdoors. They don't actually really have outdoor seating (just one table with a view of the traffic) but it pleased my father who was complaining about the cold air inside the restaurant. Just FYI, the indoor seating was really nice. Since we were there for Lunch (technically Brunch), we were expecting a Lunch menu but La Piazza only has a Dinner menu. Maybe they don't get a huge crowd during lunch but I think it's important to have a lunch menu with some different options and pricing. For example, since they serve Pizza it would have been really cool to add an Egg on top as an option and call it a Breakfast pizza. I don't know, I think we were just craving eggs that day. Besides that, the food we ordered were Excellente! Between the 5 of us, we shared.. - Sweet Potato Fries (comes with ketchup and honey mustard) - not greasy and just the right amount of crispiness - Meatballs - 4 meatball a dish - Salad with Chicken - Salad with Beef - Linguine with Vegetables and White Wine Sauce + Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Vegetarian Pizza with half spicy pork sausage I highly recommend trying this restaurant. The food is excellent and so is the bread. You can trust a restaurant based on the bread they serve. Nice soft and warm. read more

Great food. Great service. Also has vegan options and plates to choose from.

Visit Date: July 6, 2017 I came here for my friend's wedding rehearsal dinner because I was in her bridal party. When we walked in we were led to a garden room where the dinner was being held. It was an interesting room they had a stone floor with flowers and plants along the border of the room. It was a great room and if I didn't have to chase after my one year old crawling around I would have loved it more but I was afraid because of the stones he was going to hurt himself. At the same time I don't fault the restaurant for this because I should try to prevent my one year old from crawling around I just give in and end up chasing him around a lot when we go out. I had pinot grigio, a cappuccino, I think eggplant rollatini or eggplant parm for dinner and fresh mozzarella and tomato salad. Everything was really good and the waiter service was very attentive for our party. I did enjoy being here and would love to come back baby free one day to enjoy it even more. read more

Loved the food - will definitely come back !!! The food was amazing and the service was superb!! Thank you Pablo !!

I didn't even make it into the restaurant. First of all, the parking lot is pretty small. The only entrance is guarded by an unfriendly troupe of valet boys. I'm not trying to pay for parking when I'm getting a casual lunch with my mom so I simply drive past them and park in a spot towards the back of the tiny lot. This beefy sourpuss comes up to my car and says snidely, "Guess you didn't see us, lady, but theses spots are for valet only. You need to park in the middle." I pulled out of the spot, turned around, and parked in a spot directly behind me. Then, I thought about it and left. I took it as a premonition of the type of service I'd receive in the restaurant. read more

Just stopped by on a whim for lunch with my husband. Everything was delicious. Baked clams for an appetizer. Lasagna and entree salad was very good. We didn't leave a crumb on our dish and we are stuffed! Excellent service. Jose our waiter was very attentive. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend. Expansive menu too read more

Decent food but the delivery charge coupled with the credit card fee is in very poor taste. We have all been affected in some way shape or form by covid and squeezing a few extra bucks out of people is not right. I would rather see them raise the price of a dish by $1 and then people wouldn't question it. Being in sales, it's just very sneaky. No facility should do that. I get that credit cards to charge their vendors but between the delivery fee, credit card convenience fee and tip you are almost $15 in to it before you even place your order. Won't be ordering from here again. Bellagio doesn't charge any of those bullsh*t fees and food is just as good. read more

A five star simple but completely delicious and satisfying late lunch. I thought it was going to be another place for pizza. So wrong. Very classy spacious interior dining room with a happy long bar just adjacent with happy customers lunching at the bar. Fascinating menu options. I opted for the lasagna which came sizzling right out of the oven. There was an unexpected huge free assortment of wonderful warm breads with generous slab of butter that quickly came out after placing my order. A bottle of Stella served in an ice cold talk glass and post meal cups of coffee added to this perfect lunch. Staff all attentive and friendly. Makes me want to move to Melville! read more

Love this place!!!! Even though it's not on the menu anymore I always love when they make me fried calamari tossed in spicy marinara sauce. Service is great and the owner is super nice. Very very clean restaurant. read more

If you enjoy a dish of Salt then this is the place to go. Its an Italian restaurant with country music blasting & waiters who don't speak English. Ordered the Filet of Sole Oreganate. It was so salty I could barely take more than two bites. The waiter apparently thought he was a comedian said he would take it back and rinse it off! When he returned it taste exactly like he did gross. My friend ordered something simple lasagna. It was dried out like it had been frozen and defrosted. The manager came over apologized and left it at that. It was a tremendous waste of time and money. read more

Nice restaurant and wine bar. Good food. Music playing throughout the restaurant. Very good burger and triffle fries.

Last night i had dinner here. The staff was very welcoming and the atmosphere was very relaxing. Beautiful decor. I ordered the chicken parmigiana with penne pasta. It tasted delicious. I would definitely recommend this for a date night or even family dinners. They had a great selection on the menu and i can't wait to come back and try some other delicious dishes. read more

Service is terrific and the food is absolutely delicious! The staff is extremely professional and nothing is a problem. We have been here not only for dinner but for the brunch menu as well. I highly recommend dining with these wonderful people. Food is very tasty and not full of tons of salt like many other places in the area. Not sure what the negative reviewers are talking about if you are looking to have a nice evening with good food,drinks and service this is the perfect choice! read more

Please know before you go... we always love La Piazza and it was also one of our only go-to's for delivery during Covid lockdown. The food and service are always excellent, whether it's a family dinner or a quiet lunchtime pre-Valentine's Day escape with your hubby, such as today. Just know that they are asking for a surcharge for credit card purchases. We didn't have a problem paying this to help the restaurant during these difficult times, however if had we known in advance we would've grabbed cash before we came. There was no mention of this on open table, yelp or their menu or anything prior to when we were given the check, which is why I am posting it as an FYI to the patrons and not to hurt the business. Our lunch today was lovely and our server Jose was charming and attentive as always! read more

Placed an order online for Penne Oreganate...Penne with fresh shrimp, asparagus, in a garlic and white wine scampi sauce. Sadly, the shrimp appeared to have been boiled first, then added to the dish. Overcooked. Really? What a joke, and all for $26. Do yourself a favor and go to a real restaurant. read more

Food great..service horrible. So went the day after Valentine's Day made reservation but the place wasn't as busy as i thought it would be on a Friday night. We were sat at a table near the back busser station. Next to a party of four. Our waiter was inattentive because he was more focused on the table next to us which i presume were the owner or head chefs friends as the gentleman in a black la piazza chef shirt sat at the table with them. The waiter was so focused on them that as i was making eye contact with him for refills on drinks he was more preoccupied on that tables check for his tip. Then a busboy proceeded to sneeze all over as i was looking at him he looked at me and proceeded to grab NEW plates and went to four other tables WITHOUT washing his hands. The other mind boggling thing about this was that the owner or chef that was seated at the table was about a foot away from him and didn't flinch at all. This is absolutely disgusting. As far as the food. The clams were good as i do like whole baked clams. The stuffed rigatoni was perfect. But the rigatoni Florentine with spinach and chicken was saturated and overpowered by sauce. Would i go back for food because it was good? NO do to health reasons. The only reason this is two stars is because of the taste of food. read more

Went for dinner last night with the family. We were seated in the garden room. They need to upgrade the room if they are going to seat patrons there for dinner. The heating was extremely uneven. Hot one minute, freezing cold the next. They use patio furniture and paper tablecloths. If they are going to seat people in that area they should ask customers first if that is acceptable since it's basically a covered patio during the winter. The food was below average at best. The steak my 11 year old son ordered was below average in size and was sliced improperly. A skirt steak is cut against the grain not with the grain. Something any kitchen should know. The pizza came out cold and was missing salt in the crust. My pasta was decent. Our waiter was friendly and attentive, but we will not be returning. read more

The food is always great but like most restaurants the service is key and that being said on a Saturday night drinks are a must sitting at the bar I can say Ivan and Oscar run this bar like no other they're so fast and good at making really delicious drinks. Without them I'm sure things would run different. Quality food and drinks. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Went to have dinner and was told I would only be sat if I could eat in an hour and a half...the restaurant was empty...I'm not sure why we were rushed...the food was not even good...not really sure why the restaurant is open if they don't want business. read more

We had a reservation and were seated right away in the garden area. This area is heated which was nice! Started with a Lemon Basil Martini, Yum! The food was amazing and cooked to perfection. We started with the Burrata, our main dishes were filet mignon and veal chop (paired with Prisoner's red wine), and had their chocolate cake for dessert! I can't say enough about their service either, Very attentive. We will definitely be back! read more

The wine menu has a decent selection of good value wines. The food menu has a lot of selections. The service is fair. The waiter was excellent but the other wait staff didn't follow through on requests. The tomato sauce is fair, not very tasty. The veal chop parmigiana was cooked very well with a perfect crust BUT tasteless. The pasta was al dente as should be, but covered in a tasteless sauce. The chicken balsamic primavera was soggy and tasteless. Will not return. read more

La Piazza is a fairly new pizza place that just recently opened up in Melville, Long Island. I stopped by for lunch during work. The menu boasts Brick Oven Pizzette, Panini, Pastas, Parmigiana, and Salads among other things. I ordered a Margherita Pizza ("Neapolitan style" San Marzano tomato, fresh mozzarella, and basil). The pie is served 10 inches for only $10. Pizza is definitely thin as expected from a Neapolitan pie; however, the dough was really salty. Conclusion: Decent place to sit down and eat for lunch. read more

This place stays packed out all week. Parking can be abismal. Maybe a little post gavone pasta throwdown walk will do ya some good? We had a party of 10 or so. Service was good and the place was packed out. Piaza's got a contemporary modern feel to it, sort of a South Beach thing going on. Don't expect Sinatra gently playing in the background. It's a downtempo house music vibe here but not Jersey Shore. It still maintains a casual enviornment. Prolly a great 1st date night. The food, I wasn't blown away I wasn't unhappy eitherit was just very okay. I had a sampelling of some Pasta dishes and eggplant rotolini. Worth checking out probably not better than your favorite italian spot you've created an alleigance with. read more

I live right down the block and this place has been open for a while but this was my first time going. It is a little on the pricier end for a pizza place but it is not a traditional pizza place. I got the rigatoni fioentina and it was so amazing. Very filling and I even got to use it for my lunch the next day. My friend got the buffalo chicken salad which I tried and can say I did not enjoy. I also did not like the garlic knots that they put in the table. If you're going to this place stick to one of the bar pizza pies or pasta that is definitely what they are good at! read more

La Piazza - Yummy! - Italian Near Me - Melville, New York

Pretty solid italian fare, ate there last night with a few friends. Ordered, apps: rice balls, mini calzone and baked clams. Rice balls the best of the trio........ For an entree I had Penne PaeSana for $20 grilled shrimp, broccoli rabe, roasted pignoli nuts, crushed plum tomato,garlic & extra virgin olive oil sauce, toasted breadcrumbs. A little slim on the shrimp count but very good flavor...........dessert we split a Juniors cheesecake...... Parking: Great Food: Pretty solid, almost nearly a 4 star, but not quit there yet Atmosphere: A little on the noisy side, but great looking place, comfortable. Service: Our waitress was efficient, not very versed on the menu, but everything ordered came out on time and hot. read more

This is a solid dining experience. The food is good, the service is good. We've never had a bad meal. The menu is very good and not overly expensive. It can be a little loud at times, but I guess that's the price you pay when you're in a crowded restaurant. read more

I hope they allow me to review twice - I have NEVER had crab cakes this good!!!! Great service, food/drinks in Melville read more

Had a good experience here. Decor was very nice . It was more upscale than a chain restaurant, but not pretentious or stuffy. So it is a fun enviornment that works for dates, groups, business, or families. Good bread, wine, made a solid chicken parm (among other dishes) I thought the service was friendly, attentive. Prices were reasonable. Nothing really funny or witty to say about the place, except that it's a great spot to have for those in the area that maybe don't want to drive up to Huntington. read more

Food always excellent. Service is great ! Love it there. Great drinks too. Beautifully decorated with outdoor seating.

We had food deliveries through door dash. The food was great, but the portions were small and little things were missing from the order, things it seems like they just forgot and/or did not read the specific instructions/requests. That said, we will order again, the food was delicious. read more
