Saturday reservation for 4:30pm, early dinner to beat the crowd. Given menus and water. I asked…read moreSabrina the waitress for lemon for my water. A waiter comes to then take our order, but we're not ready. He came a few times, but we were talking/catching up on life. Fifteen minutes goes by and Sabrina the waitress returns to our table and says, "I didn't forget about the lemons and off she went. Sabrina comes back at least five minutes later with the lemons. My friend wanted separate checks, so I specifically asked Sabrina for that, I also asked for a specific dressing on the side and MOST IMPORTANTLY, because my friend was just having two slices of pizza, I asked that she bring our food out at the SAME TIME, so we can eat together. At 5:26 my friend is served his two slices from the girl that works at the pizza counter, I asked her where my food was and she said it'll be coming out. Being when you order slices, someone from the counter serves it in the dining area, I already knew Sabrina never said to the counter people to not serve the pizza until the entree is being served. I decided to time how long it would take to get my entree because my friend did not want his pizza to get cold and he said I hope you don't mind, but I'm eating my pizza. What was I going to say, so I said go ahead. If the reverse happened, I of course would have told them prior to my even touching the plate, to take the pizza back and bring me two new slices when my friends entree is served. Everyone is different and my friend certainly is. By the time I got my phone out and put the timer on, approximately 1-1/2 minutes had passed, attached is a picture of how many minutes it took to get my entree, add 1-1/2 minutes to that which means I waited 14-1/2 minutes to get my entree. Another picture attached is how much pizza my friend had left of the second slice he was eating. The salad picture is with the dressing I didn't want, which a runner brought to the table and walked away. I had to wait for Sabrina to pass by and ask her if that was the right dressing because it didn't look like it. She said it was the wrong dressing, so I had to wait for her to bring the dressing I had specifically asked for. How does the story end you ask, well of course she brought one check, not separated as I specifically asked before she even took our order. She then went away and came back with two checks. Chicken Marsala was okay, not good, just okay. I will never step foot in this establishment again.

You'd think with a smaller menu, the food would come out quicker, but we had the exact opposite experience. We got our apps 20 minutes after ordering, and then we got our mains 1 hour after that. Then we got our deserts 30 minutes after that. For our 1:15pm reservation, we didn't end up leaving until 4pm. They were pretty busy, but there were a few empty tables by the time we sat down. I was also expecting service to be quicker since the menu was leaner. Also, one of the staffs kept coughing in his hands before handing the food to the guests - so that was pretty off putting. Only reason why I'm giving the restaurant any stars is because of the food. The plates came out hot and everything was delicious and they were very generous with the amount of food. Maybe I just have to stick with ordering takeout from them.

The bread basket was fresh and amazing, the coconut martini was insane (I could have ordered multiple because they were so delicious but they were strong so I only had 1), The calamari was also incredibly fresh and delicious, the spicy vodka cavatelli with burrata was unbelievable (definitely spicy which I was happy about), and the peanut butter cake slice was a perfect ending to the meal. Service was on point all night. The staff is on top of everything and also incredibly nice and ready to offer recommendations. The restaurant was packed the entire time we were there (2+ hours on a saturday night) for good reason. Everyone in the restaurant looked happy. The restaurant was also beautiful and one side had a beautiful bar and additional seating and the main dining room was spacious and had tons of seating. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of my food because there was a lot going on- but I promise you will enjoy yourself if you go here for dinner. I can't wait to go back!

I have finally made my way to King Umberto's after all this time. This is part of the trifecta that…read morebrought the grandma pizza to the masses, that being Umberto's, King Umberto's, and Da Angelo's. And with this visit, I have visited all three. With that out of the way, let's get to what I got at this pizzeria. Since I had just come from Dario's, I decided that one slice would be good to get a feel of what KU offers. First off, the ambiance and look of the pizzeria is my favorite of the trifecta and the customer service is fantastic. I got the white slice and on the whole, it was heated to perfection, had a wonderful balance of mozzarella, ricotta and basil. Anywho, the taste of the slice was fantastic and I think this outclasses Umberto's and Da Angelo's white pies by a long shot. The display case had a great selection of wonderfully made pizza and other items for takeout. If you come here, you need to try their grandma pie as that it's claim to fame (I wish I could have it, but damn gastritis! ) I met Giovanni, one of the owners and he was friendly and loves having conversations with his customers and hope to meet him again. This has easily become one of my top favorite pizzerias on Long Island and will make the trek again, this time with my family in tow. Cheers!

I'm so glad they did! Their menu alone was overwhelming because they had so many choices that looked good! There were so many pages of options I forgot to take a picture except for the dessert menu haha. I personally ordered the Eggplant Rollatini as I'm a huge fan of eggplant and this dish did not disappoint! I also ordered a Calamari Fritti to share with the whole table and this too, was absolutely delicious and a generous sized portion. It's definitely an appetizer to be shared. The calamari was tender and fresh, not overly oily. It also came with a side of I think marinara sauce. My friends ordered the Linguini Clams (x2) and Spaghetti Nero. The portions were huge. No one was able to finish their plate and I took leftovers home. For dessert, we ordered the Gelato, all 3 flavors offered: Cookies n' Cream, Hazelnut and Ellie's Espresso Chip. Again, everything was delicious, flavorful and creamy! Each flavor came with two scoops. If you wanted extra toppings on your gelato, it's an additional charge per topping. The dessert menu also said "There is always cotton candy for everyone!" which we all thought was a dinner thing but when we inquired about it, our server said he'd bring some over for us. He brought over this humongous thing of cherry flavored cotton candy! The decor inside feels very cozy/homey. The noise level was not too loud and we were able to hear each other talk the whole time which was great. Our personal server (sorry, didn't catch his name!) and other wait staff that assisted our table were all so pleasant. Waters were always refilled and when we were leaving, we each got a little Valentine's Day themed cookie! Cute little bonus. You are also able to do coat check at the front prior to sitting down which I thought was nice. The only con is they had mandatory valet parking. I don't like valet parking because I don't like anyone to be driving my car. Their lot is pretty small and when I arrived at 12:15PM, there were still a few spots left though they were blocked off (I'm assuming for valet). Overall, I was very happy with the service and all the food and would definitely be returning in the near future!

This was my first time here, but my parents have been going to Uncle Bacala's for years. Our server was so extremely nice and apologetic about the wait and took such good care of us. They were very busy and yet the food came out in great time and everything was delicious. The stuffed mushrooms were my favorite thing of the night. All the food was excellent, including the desserts. It was my father's birthday and he had a great time. Our server was so friendly with my kids, even talking to them about Minecraft - which they were obviously elated about. I apologize for forgetting his name but my son wants me to let the owners know that he was the nicest "restaurant person" ever. My only real complaint is that the tables are all very cramped together. It seems like they've added tables since the last time my family was there in order to accommodate a bigger influx of patrons. However it feels very tight and our table was in an awkward place (sticking out in front of the French doors that lead into the other room). Other than that the atmosphere is very welcoming, all the floor staff were nice, we had a great time and left very full!

This place is a pricey too so it's ok for special occasions.
