Can't say enough nice things about the staff, from the hostesses to the servers. Incredibly friendly, great with the kids and very attentive. The food is great and everything I sampled came out perfect. The pork chop special was very flavorful, the chicken alla ross was a favorite, and the fried zucchini was a hit (especially with the kids). If you want me to get real, this place blows the place up the street out of the water (pun intended), and I hope with the new spot opening next door people don't overlook Fabio's.

My sister and I had such a great experience at Nunzi's By The Water. From the moment we walked in,…read morethe service was warm, welcoming, and inviting. Our waitress made us feel completely comfortable we were laughing, having side conversations, and genuinely enjoying ourselves all night. By the end of the evening, she even said, "Goodnight, love you!" and quickly laughed saying she didn't mean to say it. That pretty much summed up the vibe of the night friendly, relaxed, and memorable. The food was excellent from start to finish. I had the Caesar salad appetizer, which was very good, and my sister had the calamari, which she said was excellent. For our entrées, we both ordered the chicken parmesan with alavaca sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. To finish the night, we shared the crème brûlée for dessert, and it was the perfect treat. The portion is definitely big enough for two people, so I wouldn't recommend ordering one per person. The location is beautiful and right by the water true to the restaurant's name. The only small thing to note is the parking. There are two parking lots, and the first one is definitely the better option. The second lot leads closer to the waterfront entrance and can feel a little tight and snug when parking. Overall, we had an amazing time and would absolutely go back. Great food, great atmosphere, and even better service.

I asked if there was a lunch menu. I was told no. So I ordered from what we were given. Later I found out there were " lunch specials" No water refills , extremely small portions , my husbands papadelle was good , my daughter's seafood platter was not. Overcooked shrimp and tough frozen calamari rings. My eggplant parmigiana was terrible. One bready soggy piece with skimpy mozzarella and a tiny side order of spaghetti. For the prices charged I expected more.

Not a single regret. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and prepared perfectly. What really stood out was the staff. They were incredibly patient and kind with our sons, taking the time to explain different fish, what they taste like, and what they might enjoy most. That level of care turned dinner into an experience, not just a meal. The restaurant was immaculate, the servers were courteous and genuinely friendly, and the overall atmosphere made us feel welcome from start to finish. It's rare to find a place that nails food, service, and family friendliness all at once, but this place does. We'll absolutely be back.

Apparently this is a pretty common issue with mishandled lobster, it was a first for me. It was like eating lobster flavored toothpaste. My aunt went back to talk to management the next day; they took zero responsibility for their sub par product, offered not a single solution, and tried to shift the blame to her. Very disappointed. We won't be back.

It was the best cannoli we've ever had, you pull pieces of the shell off and dip it into the cannoli cream, amazing!

I came here on a Friday for winter 2025 LI restaurant week…read more We were able to get a reservation for 4 at 6:30pm and they had three separate sections for dining. 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
