    Heard about this restaurant from a friend and wanted it give it a try. My wife and I were going to Jones Beach for a concert and though this would be a good place to have dinner before the show. We arrived at 4:30 for an early dinner, there were tables outside under a red canopy, seemed very quaint and inviting but we choose to have dinner inside. When we first walked in we were by a pizza counter, then immediately to the right was the dinning room. This was also very quaint and inviting. The walls were painted red on the top half and white on the bottom with appropriate pictures on the walls to give a warm dining room feel to it. We were greeted and seated immediately by Anna our waitress. We were given menus and she told us the specials of the day. We both ordered the Broccoli Rabe Rigatoni with Sausage in a light garlic sauce and while we waited for our dinners we snacked on the fresh hot bread with olive oil. Once dinner arrived the portions were huge (Please see pic) with plenty of sausage to be had and it was awesome. We did not finish because we wanted to try their Tartufo for desert. Also Awesome and big enough for two. I can see this being a great place to relax and enjoy a bite to eat or dinner in a small town down by the beach. When we were leaving it started getting very crowded, looks like the word is out. My wife and I had a very nice dinner and desert, Anna out waitress was attentive, efficient and friendly. Can't wait to return and try some other dishes and the pizza!

    Solid spot to get a slice and the normal food is very good too. I have been a few times and they have all been very good. I like getting the pies fresh over the reheated slices but nonetheless its a great spot if you are in PLO

    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.

    Great food, wonderful people, and exceptional hospitality keep us coming back…read more My family and I have dined at Nunzi's By The Water several times over the years, in both the summer and winter, and every visit has been consistently outstanding. The food is always delicious, the atmosphere is welcoming. In fact, our experiences were so positive that when it came time to celebrate my daughter's college graduation, there was no question where we wanted to host the dinner. We chose Nunzi's for a celebration with 20 guests, and they exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Owner Al was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process, offering thoughtful menu recommendations and helping us create a memorable experience for our family and friends. Also careful to note any food allergies, and accommodate dietary considerations like gluten free and vegan. While his suggestions were excellent, truthfully, everything we've ordered at Nunzi's over the years has been fabulous. The quality of the food is consistently top-notch, portions are generous, and the pricing is very reasonable for the overall experience. The service deserves special recognition. The staff is attentive, friendly, and efficient, making sure everyone's needs were met without ever feeling intrusive. They also have just the right amount of playful sass and personality to keep you smiling throughout the evening, which adds to the restaurant's charm. Whether you're looking for a family dinner, a girls' night out, a romantic date night, or a venue for a private event or special celebration, I highly recommend Nunzi's By The Water.
