    Portobello Mushroom Panini

    I stumbled upon this restaurant after leaving an appt. It's a pretty good sized restaurant with lots of tables, the staff is friendly and helpful. I always return for the Portabello Sandwich with the balsamic aioli. I also like the chicken Marsala slice. They also have a Customer Rewards Program

    I visited for the first time one Friday night around 7:30pm. The parking is tight, but I suppose they have events taking place in some other parts of the restaurant. Parking was more readily available in the street. There was plenty of seating in the take out/sit down portion of the restaurant where we were; very casual atmosphere, with the take-out line a bit lengthy. Once we ordered, we were served warm bread with butter for the table - excellent! The food, in general, was equally good and I would come back again. We had veal parmigiana which needed a bit more sauce on the plate and a buffalo chicken pizza, which was very tasty, with blue cheese dressing as a sauce and spicy pieces of buffalo chicken on top. The pizza crust was perfect; I'm definitely going for pizza next time I visit. Where I need to take exception was the service. From the waitress who seated us, to the waiter who took our order and served our food, it was just one of the most impersonal experiences I've ever had in a restaurant. It was sort of like a vending machine: you punch in your order, it falls out underneath, you take it and eat it. This is where this venue loses a star. It wasn't so busy that they (the woman who seated us and the waiter who served us) couldn't make eye contact, or smile, or at least say hello; because they did none of those things. Maybe even pass by during the meal and ask "how's the food tonight" or "is there anything else I can get for you." The bottom line is that the food was good, but the service was cold, impersonal, and transactional.

I understand that not every place is child-friendly, but this is a pizza place! We are excited to introduce our kids to a variety of cuisines from a young age, and we thought pizza would be a good choice. They aren't chicken fingers and fries kinda kids . The food was decent; I wouldn't go as far as to say it was the best pizza I've ever had. However, the meal was overshadowed by the hostess's attitude. Throughout our visit, she kept glaring at us every time one of the kids made even the slightest noise. It felt incredibly unwelcoming. To make matters worse, they do not provide high chairs. When we mentioned that we'd still like to stay despite that, since our one-year-old can sit in a regular chair, it felt like a battle just to get one. It was clear that the hostess was eager for us to leave. Our meal felt rushed, as if we were being timed on how quickly we could eat. Her continual glares were uncomfortable, especially since we were seated right next to the hostess stand. It's unfortunate how much a bad hostess can negatively impact a dining experience. I genuinely hope the management realizes this and considers better training for their staff. Overall, this experience made it clear to me that I won't be returning. They really need to work on creating a welcoming environment for families. Especially because of the town they are located in.

I mentioned to my friend \who…read morelives in Merrick that we were coming here and she told me that it was her families "goto" for Italian food. It was a snap to get here from the Meadowbrook Parkway and they have a very convenient parking lot right on the side of the building. We came into a very comfortable venue, took our seats and was joined by our waiter immediately after sitting down. Loved the fact that there was really nice music in the background. I am so tired of hearing loud techno while trying to enjoy my meal. We started with some delicious toasted bread (I should have known better) and ordered shortly thereafter, (We had already reviewed menu at home.) Our dinner consisted of: Appetizers: - Mussels in a garlic / white wine sauce - Mozzarella caprese Main Entreès - Shrimp Scampi with linguine - Chicken Cutlet Parm with linguine - Chocolate Cake - Italian Cheesecake Everything was wonderful. My wife loved the caprese while I thought the mussels were amongst the best I ever had. (Best were in Bruges, Belgium) The Chicken Parm was thin, crispy on the outside with tender meat and the Shrimp was fresh and tasty. All this was followed by wonderful desserts with hot coffee. There were enough items on the menu to make me want to come back. On another note... I was a little surprised to see another Yelp review from a fellow Elite member which was not so favorable. Not sure how you can go from one extreme to the other but sorry to read that the experience was not as good as mine. KUDOs to the Team at Molto Bene.

We were in a section that included a live singer and made for great ambiance. By 7:30, every table was filled. For restaurant week, I chose the 4 blue point oysters, the 6oz filet mignon and the cheesecake. The oysters were great and subtly briny and the filet was cooked perfectly (though the potato and vegetable side were pretty underwhelming). The cheesecake was considered Italian and was very lumpy, grainy and I did not like that style. We also ordered the brussel sprouts, grilled octopus and creamed spinach. The brussel sprouts were the highlight of the meal - highly recommend!! The grilled octopus was cooked perfectly The creamed spinach was a tad salty but yummy They also half bottles of wine which was a happy medium for my party My sister got the mussels, lamb shank and tiramisu as her restaurant week choices. The lamb shank was an incredible portion and so flavorful. The tiramisu was the right choice Our waiter was fantastic The wait time for our food was a little long, but I think they were extremely busy and we didn't mind IG/bernmarksthespot
