Lombardi&#x27;s On the Bay

I'm so sorry for the delay on this review--I actually stopped by on June 22nd. My coworkers and I…read morewere looking for a happy hour spot, and when someone suggested ITA, I was honestly stoked! I never got the chance to hit up the Bay Shore location before it closed, so I was excited to finally check this out. First off, the place is stunning--total Instagram goals. The ambiance is everything. Honestly, they had me at "girl dinner"--I mean, $25 for a martini, Caesar salad, and truffle fries? Yes, please. I went subbed mine with a cosmopolitan. I'm a total sucker for a good charcuterie board, we had to order that, too. I also grabbed a lemon drop, and we ended the night by splitting the cannoli crumb cake. Our bartender Michael was a doll. Answering our questions and offering to take pics for us. Such a solid spot. Definitely keeping this in mind for a future date night! Now only if I had a date ‍‍

As an 100% Italian, whose grandparents were born in Italy, I am pretty critical on this dish. I will say this; all restaurants these days portray this as a soup. It really isn't. It's more of a thick stew. However, I'm trying to get used to this concept. Locale does the new version of this as good as you could possibly do it. The flavor is actually authentic to the way my grandmother used to make it. It's just thinner. I'm sure a lot of you have never had this any other way, so it won't be a big deal. That being said I 100% recommend it. As referenced in my early review, I had Nonna's meatball as well. This is a 100% authentic delicious Italian meatball. My opinion is unfettered. This is a fantastic Italian restaurant and you guys should all check it out.

Furci's Pizzeria - Bayport…read more First impression when pulling up -- this place is massive. Then you realize it's a market along with a pizza spot. The pizzeria itself is actually pretty small, with just a few tables and a small counter area. There's a good variety of pizza and specialty items, and the staff was attentive even though they were pretty busy. We came specifically because of all the recent buzz about their New Haven-style pizza. We've been to New Haven many, many times, and unfortunately, while the attempt is definitely there, New Haven it is not. If you've never had the real thing in New Haven, you might think, "Okay, I get it," but the South Shore of Long Island is still a long way from New Haven, Connecticut. The Bambinos were tasty, but the best thing we had was the Chicken Alla Vodka with fresh mozzarella. Thin-cut breaded and fried chicken with fresh mozz -- really good. Unfortunately, the vodka sauce itself was a little bit of a letdown. Overall, we weren't disappointed. There were some good bites, the staff was solid, and there's plenty to choose from. Definitely worth stopping in if you're passing through Bayport, but I wouldn't make the trip expecting a true New Haven pizza experience.

As someone who probably takes pizza a little more seriously than any reasonable adult should, I can…read moreconfidently say this place deserves all five stars. I've tried pizza from Montauk to Manhattan it's nothing short of amazing. The New Haven-style pizza was fantastic. Thin, crisp, beautifully charred, and with just the right amount of chew. That slightly blistered crust brought exactly the flavor you want from this style of pizza. No flop here, just crunch and crisp all the way through. I think Dave Portnoy would be impressed. Then came the Sicilian, and somehow they managed to crush that too. Thick, light, and airy on the inside with that perfectly crisp bottom that makes a great Sicilian so satisfying. What impressed me most was how well they executed two completely different styles of pizza. Plenty of places can make one good pie. Doing New Haven-style AND Sicilian this well? That's when you know the kitchen knows what it's doing. Great ingredients=Great pizza Five stars all the way!

Cool spot with a Manhattan vibe "behind" Main Street in Patchogue…read more The reason this is key is because, since they face out to the firehouse and residential areas, parking USUALLY isn't a problem. There's a small lot that's free and you can park on Jennings. (sorry residents). We went on NYE so had to park several blocks away. No biggie. The inside is dark and cool with a city-vibe. Ample bar space and 1-4 tops an some banquet seating that lets you look out over the street. We were greeted right away by what turned out to be our server and seated promptly by the windows (we had a reservation). Also greeted by a gentleman that we think might have been her dad. The young lady hustled all night and managed the crowd well. We never waited too long for her to check in on us and she was very helpful with selecting wine and clarifying menu items. That being said, THIS IS A SMALL PLATES JOINT. People expecting full-sized portions should adjust their expectations accordingly. We did, however, order the Trastavere seafood platter (medium) which came as a tower and seemed impressive. Two types of oysters (large and medium) were presented; briny and fresh and pretty damned tasty. There was also a ceviche and tuna tartare that was, unfortunately, a bit unremarkable, as was the shrimp cocktail (though the shrimps were pretty hefty). The American "black caviar" was a nice way to commemorate the meal. Nutty with a pop of salinity but maybe something you can skip. We meant to order the Carne e Formaggi but got the Gamberetto instead which was fine as it was pretty tasty nonetheless (made with shrimp but it almost tasted like smoked salmon). Virgola Manhattan was good but pretty standard. Follow-up drink of dirty Manhattan was blissfully salty and cold. But back to the menu: we are unsure if they have an actual kitchen back there which would also explain the small plates concept and oyster and chilled fish options. The bruschetta was tasty, as mentioned, but it seems like they cut and toasted the bread and topped it with the crudo. The other bruschetta options featured ingredients from other menu items that could be re-purposed for multiple dishes. Smart but expect this. We plan on returning and trying the charcuterie board (mix and match cheeses and meats) and some cocktails. Overall, a nice night out and a nice option for dining and drinking around Patchogue. Cheers!

Our food was given to us in black tied plastic bags, and we didn't check because we were ready to leave due to the passive aggressive hostility of the owner and the other customers eating by the bar.

I wrote this letter on how Lombardi's was, and got NO RESPONSE, I recommend you don't go! that's my review I am writing regarding a very disappointing experience my family and I had at your restaurant on Aug 8th. What makes this especially upsetting is that this dinner was to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday. I had planned this special family dinner well in advance so that my mother could celebrate her milestone birthday surrounded by her children and family. I made a 7:00 PM reservation well in advance for a party of seven, which included my 80-year-old mother, my children and their spouses, and a five-year-old child. One member of our party was also very pregnant. On the morning of our reservation, I received a call from the restaurant confirming that we would be dining inside. When we arrived, however, we were told that our table was actually outside. I explained that this was not acceptable because of the heat and, most importantly, because my 80-year-old mother could not safely or comfortably sit outside in those conditions, and one member of our party was very pregnant. Rather than being met with understanding, I was spoken to quite rudely and told that we would have to wait. I explained that I certainly hoped we would not have to wait a very long time, at which point I was suddenly told that a table was available for us. Unfortunately, the problems continued throughout the evening. It took approximately 30 minutes before anyone took our order for drinks and appetizers. Then, it was more than another hour before our dinner orders were taken. We ultimately did not leave the restaurant until almost 10:30 PM--approximately three and a half hours for dinner. For a reservation made well in advance, this was completely unreasonable. More importantly, this was my mother's 80th birthday dinner. Instead of being able to relax and enjoy this important occasion with my family, we spent a significant portion of the evening waiting. There was also no children's menu. We asked if you could simply prepare buttered noodles and fries for the five-year-old in our party, and we were shocked to see that we were charged $20 for that meal. Our water glasses were also not refilled throughout the meal, and we had to deal with very slow and inattentive service for the entire evening. The final bill was approximately $555, and despite everything that happened, we still left a generous tip. I did this because I understand that the server has a difficult job, and I did not feel it was appropriate to punish the server for what was, in my opinion, a much larger issue with the overall restaurant experience. I have to be honest: I left extremely disappointed. I went to your restaurant expecting to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday and create a wonderful family memory. Instead, the evening was overshadowed by an argument over our seating, the way I was spoken to when I raised a very legitimate concern about my elderly mother and pregnant family member, extremely long waits, inattentive service, and a $20 charge for a simple child's meal. Three and a half hours for dinner, after making a 7:00 PM reservation well in advance, is simply unacceptable--especially for a special birthday celebration. I am not someone who enjoys writing complaints, but I feel strongly that management should know exactly what happened. I would appreciate a response regarding this experience and how you intend to address it. I hope you will take my concerns seriously. My mother's 80th birthday was an important milestone, and unfortunately, our experience at your restaurant was not the celebration we had planned or deserved. read more

Girls' lunch + a 60th birthday = Lombardi's on the Bay delivering in every way! My girlfriends and I recently celebrated our dear friend's 60th birthday lunch at Lombardi's, and I have to say -- this place absolutely delivered. Even though it was chilly outside, we scored a gorgeous window table overlooking the most beautiful sunny day. The view alone had us all saying we need to come back when the outdoor seating opens up -- that's going to be absolutely stunning in the warmer months. The ambiance of the dining room is warm, lively, and just the right kind of fun for a birthday celebration. Now, I won't say exactly how many "Sex on the Bay" cocktails were consumed... but let's just say they may have been a highlight of the afternoon Absolutely delicious -- and dangerously easy to drink! I was a little bummed to find out we had just missed the pre-fixe lunch special, but honestly? It didn't matter one bit. The experience more than made up for it. The real MVPs of the day were the guys working the floor -- all 3 to 5 of them moved through that dining room like they'd known us for years. They made our whole table feel so welcome, and they treated our birthday girl like an absolute queen. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare, and it truly made the afternoon feel special. Now -- the food. Fresh, consistent, and flat-out delicious. I ordered the seafood salad, which, as any seafood salad lover knows, can be a gamble. Done wrong, it gets "fishy" fast and just turns you off entirely. Not here. This dish brought me back -- perfectly prepared, incredibly fresh, and every bite reminded me why I love seafood in the first place. I'm already planning my return just for that salad. Huge shoutout to the crew who took such great care of us that afternoon -- I'd love to name you all, but between the laughs and the Bay Breezes... the names escape me You know who you are, and you were wonderful. Lombardi's on the Bay -- you have a table of loyal fans for life. We'll see you when the weather warms up! read more

We were supposed to have our wedding at Lombardi's on the Bay, and due to NYS mandated COVID restrictions we were going to have to cut our guest list by 70 people. We decided to cancel our wedding because we're both military and have limited availability with our schedules. There are obligations that keep us away from home quite a bit. We wrote a letter and asked for consideration for a return of payments made toward our wedding, since all but a final payment had been made, and this was beyond our control. After sending the letter to formally cancel we were told it could take up to two weeks, and we were unsure of what would happen. Our Maître d' was probably slightly overwhelmed since, like most businesses, Lombardi's was closed for months. We didn't have a full understanding of what the cancellation would mean for us. A little stressed and confused about everything and not having any clear guidance. We were eventually connected with Jeannie, who explained everything, and promised us she would work on our refund. After stressing for months about what would happen if... (fill in the blank with our 1001 questions). Jeannie made us feel at ease. Within 72 hours she had a check returning our deposits. We went to both locations, and my husband and I are just absolutely in love with the venue. They are well maintained grounds, Both places are just gorgeous all around. Lombardi's has such a romantic feel. I am a little disappointed that we couldn't celebrate our day there, but my husband and I will be back with a small group of people to celebrate when it is safe to do so. read more

Title: Mixed Experience at Lombardi's on the Bay Rating: 2.5 stars I recently dined at Lombardi's on the Bay in Patchogue, New York and had a somewhat mixed experience. While the ambience and views were enjoyable, the disappointing quality of the food left me underwhelmed. Let's start with the positives. The ambience at Lombardi's on the Bay was quite pleasant. The overall atmosphere was inviting, and I appreciated the effort put into creating a comfortable dining space. The views, although hindered by less-than-clear skies, were still impressive. I can only imagine how breathtaking they would be on a sunny day. An unexpected highlight was spotting a local duck and her adorable ducklings on the patio. It added a charming touch to the dining experience. However, the main drawback was the food itself. I ordered the Bronzino with high hopes, expecting it to be fresh and flavorful. Unfortunately, I was sorely disappointed. The fish was not as fresh as I anticipated, and worse yet, it lacked any discernible taste. I was left wondering if it had been prepared in haste or if the quality of the ingredients used fell short. Considering Lombardi's reputation, this was a surprising letdown. While the ambience and views were noteworthy, the lackluster quality of the Bronzino greatly impacted my overall dining experience at Lombardi's on the Bay. I had hoped for a memorable meal but left feeling dissatisfied. Given the mixed nature of my visit, I cannot wholeheartedly recommend this establishment, particularly if you're seeking a truly enjoyable culinary experience. read more

Good morning, I write to you today to let you know your matrie de on Saturday night was an embarrassment to your establishment. As a lifetime resident of Suffolk County with family members ( many of them ranging from police commissioners, NYC patrol officers and FDNY ) the treatment our daughter and son-in law received far exceeds rudeness. Is this the image you would like to portray " I hate cops " actual words from your employee, who then proceeded to sit the at the farthest and and smallest table in the back. When the waitress came. They asked to be switched she said sure, No problem.... The absolute rudest employee came back and after his horrendous behavior, demeaning looks, more rude comments they decided they needed to leave. On their way out again this person was even ruder, " oh so your going to leave now " . As a family who represent one of the best in protecting the people of our state your employee should be terminated, we will as of now spread the news that law enforcement officers are not welcomed at " Lombardi's on the bay". Sooooo disappointing this occurred . With regrets, Patricia Emouna read more

The view is the only nice thing about this restaurant. The food was wedding banquet quality. The bread was hard and the roll was tasteless. The salad was bland. Our meals were even worse. My husband ordered a fish meal. It came with absolutely nothing else on the plate. For $30, it should've at least come on a bed of rice or with with a side of vegetable. But no, that was extra! My meal was veal cutlet parmigiana. It was 2 huge pieces of veal that were drowning in sauce. The meal was tasteless and the veal was chewy. For $32, instead of serving two huge pieces of meat that almost didn't fit on the plate, they should've offered a small portion of pasta on the side. But no, that was extra too. Needless to say, neither of us was able to eat our meals and did not even try for dessert. I would not recommend this restaurant if you are looking for fine food at a good price. read more

Honestly forgot we ordered app by the time it came . Finally we seated after 45mins . View was pretty obstructed so for that view we should have just sat inside with maybe a shorter wait . Waitress took a long while to come over , ordered another round of drinks & food . The watermelon martini came without watermelons & tasted watery. We filled up on bread , food took so long and waitress never checked in with us . Food finally came & was blah . Chicken franchises was rubbery and borderline cold . Only took a couple bites and the rest our meal wrapped . Spent well over 2 hours and $200 for a meh meal and experience. Will NOT go back read more

Had such a great experience at Lombardi's that I had to share. The ambience strikes a really nice balance--warm, lively, and inviting without ever feeling overwhelming. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, enjoy your meal, and actually have a conversation without shouting over noise. The lighting and overall vibe make it perfect whether you're out for a casual dinner or something a bit more special. What really made the night stand out, though, was our server Chris. He was attentive without hovering, genuinely friendly, and His recommendations were spot-on, and he made sure everything came out perfectly timed. You can tell he takes pride in what he does, and it makes a big difference. Great food, great atmosphere, and top-notch service from Chris. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Great location, good food but the noise in the restaurant is unbearable. They have no curtains or anything to muffle the noise and it is impossible to have a normal conversation at the table. Also I do not like the fact that they do NOT accept reservations. So you go there and wait for more than 30 minutes for a table, if you are lucky. And you wait at the bar with very expensive drinks. So this must be part of their strategy: everyone needs to spend time at the bar before sitting down for dinner. And my table was free all the time I was sitting at the bar... If they do not take reservations how come a table is empty for 30 minutes with so many people waiting at the bar?? Guys at Lombardi's: you have a great place so please do not destroy it with your antics... read more

The food was very good and the portions were huge! Our server Jamie, was outstanding. She was attentive and professional without being overbearing.

Came here for Sunday brunch with the family before heading out to Montauk after another family friend recommended it to us. The place is located right on the great south bay, with outstanding views. The entrance way and the entire establishment is lovely, with a full bar in the center of the main dining room. Now, I can't judge their fixed menus, but the buffet... was extraordinary. Many choices to choose from. From french toast to pasta, whatever your choice of food is, they are bound to have something that you'd enjoy. If your around Patchogue (lovely village as well) be sure to check this place out. Oh, and most definitely try the napoleon as a dessert. read more

Five friends met at Lombardi's On the Bay this past Friday afternoon/evening. Since we got there a little late, there were not enough seats to sit at the bar together. Anthony, one of the servers, invited us to sit outside on the huge patio where there were very comfortable couches and a coffee table in the middle. We could have fit five more friends to join us. Anthony was very attentive, periodically checking on our comfort and serving us some delicious appetizers. Our outside bartender was great as well. She made our fabulous drinks and checked on us again while we were there. What a great evening! Thank you Anthony! read more

The Chef served scallops provencal with unseasoned scallops, there was no butter, garlic, not even salt or pepper. The chef just dumped these tiny bay scallops mixed into a plate of pasta with pink sauce that was scalding hot. The scallops were already completely turned to rubber before I even received my food. I don't know how this place can allow the executive chef to offer a scallops provencal special and then send out such a disaster of an entree. The manager was also unaware of how traditional scallops provencal should be prepared and did not seem to care about the chef sending out a plate of piping hot garbage. read more

The baked clams were meaty with very little bread stuffing, a welcome difference with most restaurant clam servings. Tried the fish and chips but subbed a salad for fries. The fish was moist, flaky and slightly seasoned. A dish I'd definitely recommend for those wishing to forgo a burger or sandwich for lunch. Topped off with cappuccinos which an eye catching presentation. Overall a gem overlooking a marina offering excellent food that is well portioned and reasonably priced served by a welcoming courteous staff.

Our most recent visit was a few weeks back and it did not disappoint. The Seafood Bisque is a favorite. I loved their Rack of Lamb - so delicious and tender! I love that it's right by the water - definitely a go to spot when the weather is nice because it's really chill and relaxing.

Since it was Family! style, we ordered several entrées for the five of us +2 appetizers and a Caesar salad. The Caesar salad was one of the best I've ever had! The appetizer of homemade meatballs in red sauce were delicious as well, both chicken dishes that we ordered and baked ziti! The service was way beyond expectation. The ambience was warm and lively. Exactly what you'd expect from a busy family style restaurant on a Friday night!!

Recently attended a private event at La Famiglia and despite what we have heard it was not what I…read moreexpected. I rarely disparage restaurants but I was disappointed in the quality of the food that we were served. The fillet of sole was delicious; moist, flaky and lightly seasoned, the bruschetta and cappuccinos were excellent. However the eggplant parm was bland, chicken francese was overcooked and tough to chew while the pasta dishes ( penne ala vodka and broccoli with garlic & oil) were also bland. The service on the other hand was impeccable. All the servers were very welcoming and attentive throughout the event. Maybe this event was too much for the restaurant kitchen staff but I'll reconsider revisiting in the near future but not in a large group.

We were sat immediately and service was prompt but in no way rushed. Server could not have been nicer! I grew up in an authentic Italian family and know quality Italian food when I taste it. The food was truly excellent. We had baked clams and Caesar salad as appetizers, excellent and generous portions. My husband got the Chicken Francese and I had Shrimp Oreganata for entrees, both outstanding taste and generous portions. Didn't try desserts maybe next time. Definitely give this place a try you will be very glad you did!

We were seated at a two seated table... When they brought the food out, there was no room for all the plates on the table. It was way too crowded. I did not like that at all... They did nothing to change it for us. I had chicken franchise. It was tasty, but it wasn't hot when it was served. My friend had fettuccine with white clam sauce. She enjoyed it. Dessert was good For the prices we paid. I do not think it deserved more than three stars. They need to step up their game.

What's missing is the level of service for the price point. Our water glasses went empty and we had to request refills and the wine after the initial pour was never touched nor the sparkling water. Our table was also in the middle of the space as we were a party of 6 which wasn't too relaxing. Specials are also very much read the fine print so we didn't get any...you have to sit at the bar for some, be there during certain hours for others. Would likely return for the food but these overlooked details certainly matter.

The room I was sitting in for dinner had a real New York City rustic vibe that I really loved and my waiter Patrick was great. I had a lady with short hair that was awesome as well and can't remember her name but the service is top notch here. Now to the steak and sides! Me and my wife ain't go crazy but for apps we started off with the thick cut bacon which was out this world. 9.5 out of 10 and the only reason why I wouldn't give it a 10 because it came with a raw tomato and onion which realistically the bacon did not need. They should just served the bacon plain in my opinion but the bacon was amazing. Now on to the main dishes, they had a a bunch of specials last night and for main course I went with the teriyaki porter house which was amazing. The steak was huge and the steak wasn't over powered with teriyaki which I was very happy with. The steak was cooked to perfection and charred perfect. My wife went Roth her favorite which is a ribeye steak and her steak was amazing as well. This place hands down for steaks was the best steak house I been to. For sides I went with the lobster Mac & cheese which was good but could have been better and the home fries! Overall the steaks were 10/10 and I'll def be back here celebrating a different occasion! Very upscale amazing steak house with great vibes and top notch hospitality. Everyone here was on point down to the host on the front. Top notch steak house servicing some amazing top quality steaks hands down ! Valet parking I believe only and not too sure of you can park your own car but overall this place is a 10/10! I highly recommend this place if your looking for a different steak house, you will not or disappointed!

Now, I knew nothing about Mezza Luna, never heard of it or looked for reviews first, so I had no idea what the night would bring! We called from the car to make sure they were still serving dinner, the owner answered and told us he would have a table ready when we arrived. My first thought... impressive and a very nice man! We found the restaurant, pull into the parking lot, it was so full we literally got the last spot! My second thought....it's going to be an expensive night, but I was looking forward so I was prepared, it was pay day! LOL! The owner greeted us as we walked in, Mezza Luna is a classy, romantic restaurant with a warm, comfortable feel to it! I already had the feeling anything we ordered would be extremely well prepared and delicious, I was right! Friday evenings there is live music! A guy playing an acoustic guitar was set up in a nice spot when we walked in, very talented and played some great classic rock songs! Our table was perfect, could easily seat four people! Right away, glasses of ice water were served with a basket of fresh semolina bread! Our waiter, Fred, came over shortly after. I have to say the service is superb! He was very courteous and attentive throughout the evening! I can't even count how many times someone came to our table to fill our glass with water! The menu is very nice, you will without a doubt find any of your favorite dishes to choose from. Decisions, decisions, decisions...It was tough but I went with the Filet of Sole Francaise. My daughter chose a pasta dish. Fred read off the specials, all great choices, but I still ordered my favorite dish! However, beef barley soup was part of the specials so I ordered that. It was over the top delicious and a nice size serving! They don't skimp on anything, lots of beef with tiny pasta and vegetables. Even though finely chopped so no big pieces, there was a big taste of everything in each spoonful. I finished it all! The presentation was also beautiful and served piping hot! As everything on the menu is ala carte, your dish comes as is, so we didn't order any pasta or appetizers. It was a little pricey but believe me, it won't matter to you! The portions are big enough and a complimentary bowl of fresh mixed vegetables are served with your dinner. The francaise sauce was perfection and my fish was succulent, very fresh! My daughter enjoyed her pasta dish tremendously! There is always room for dessert, even though I felt like I couldn't eat another bite, I couldn't pass up dessert. My favorite was one of the choices (of course it was) but so were 3 or 4 others. They offer two kinds of tartufo which was a first for me! I went with the tiramisu! It was one of the best I ever had! It was so over the top delicious I finished it all!! Last nights dinner was one of the best I have had in a long time, even better than the Country House, where we went for Easter! This was just different, a very elegant experience. I highly recommend Mezza Luna. Especially if you have a SO, you must dine here! I will absolutely be back soon, not one negative about the evening I can think of, it was really a perfect night!
