I moved away…read morefrom Bethpage to Ridgewood (Queens) last fall and still make a point of stopping by when I'm home to visit my family. My husband and I love making pizza. In a pinch, we've used dough from supermarkets (Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Best Yet) and some of our neighborhood bakeries sell it, too. Our favorite is the dough from Pasta Time. Though most people wouldn't comment on the flavor of something as seemingly bland as pizza dough, the dough from Pasta Time tastes better and fresher, and is generally easier to work with. We also love their tomato sauce--so much better than anything you get out of a can or jar. The staff is always friendly, and they recognized me from my last Yelp! review, which made me smile.

Love Italian food. Love this restaurant…read more We went out for an evening dinner and one of us being in the mood for Italian, we gave this place a shout. Excellent call. It's a white tablecloth restaurant that serves some of the best Italian food I've had. And I've had a lot. The dinner starts with some terrific rolls and oil. Had to ask for some ground pepper and cheese, which they quickly oblige. The arugula salad may be the best arugula salad I have ever had. Large, fresh, the roasted portobello mushrooms and roasted peppers were outstanding, the goat cheese and balsamic dressing were just perfect. I had the eggplant Parmesan. I may have had better, but this one is right up there. The portion size was large, the sauce was outstanding, and I chose the angel hair pasta as my side, and that too was terrific. Exquisite evening definitely would go back there again.

So, I was excited to see this legendary brand open an Italian a restaurant. These are my thoughts........ When you walk in you're greeted by impeccably dressed and friendly staff and a beautify thought out restaurant. Check! First, I ordered the calamari with a side of both marinara and fra diavalo sauce. This was where my expectations started slipping. The breading was absolutely bland and added nothing special. The plain marinara you could get from a jar sauce. The fra diavalo sauce was pretty much the marinara with Tabasco stirred in to it. It's not that any of it was horrible, it was just boring. Then what was ordered for dinner was a plate of Penne ala Vodka and a Pizza Margherita. They both had nothing exceptional about them and truthfully were bland and unremarkable. This is a place that you bring people who don't know anything about good Italians food and just want basic flavor. Truthfully, the corner pizzeria has better flavor. I wouldn't drive just to go there again. Come on guys, step up your game!

The space features a contemporary design with a nice bar area, and the waitstaff were friendly, attentive, and on point throughout the evening. They also offer a happy hour menu (though it didn't apply to our visit). Food was more mixed. Overall presentation on the dinner plates missed the mark. The lasagna was solid (about a 3.0)--flavorful enough, but it just sat unevenly in the dish with no real visual appeal. The special osso buco came with a sauce that leaned too sweet; the risotto underneath was tasty, but the dish as a whole didn't quite impress. On the brighter side, the special soft-shell crabs were excellent--served in a Française-style sauce that hit the mark both in flavor and presentation. The fried calamari was fresh and tasty, elevated by the smart addition of fried artichoke hearts. Dessert sealed the night well, the homemade rice pudding sprinkled with walnuts was delicious and definitely worthy of a permanent spot on the menu. A pleasant evening overall, driven by strong atmosphere and service, with a couple of standout dishes balancing out the less memorable ones.

I asked for the chipotle sauce on the side just in case it was too spicy, but it had a nice kick without being overwhelming. I really enjoyed the sandwich! I wanted to get fries with my order since the website menu lists them for $4 as a side, but they informed me that price is only available for dine-in, not takeout. I said it was okay, but I let them know that constraint wasn't specified on their online menu. Pedí un panini de 'cheesesteak' el sábado y estaba delicioso. Como pueden ver en la foto, estaba calientito, perfectamente tostado a la parrilla y lleno de queso derretido. Pedí la salsa de chipotle aparte en caso de que estuviera muy picante, pero tenía un toque sabroso sin ser demasiado picante. ¡Disfruté mucho mi panini! Quería acompañarlo con papas fritas ya que el menú del sitio web las muestra a $4 como acompañamiento, pero me informaron que esa oferta solo está disponible para comer en el lugar y no para llevar. Dije que estaba bien, pero les comenté que esa restricción no estaba especificada en su menú en línea.

On Long Island, easy parking can make or break a night out, and Trento definitely delivers there. We grabbed seats at the large, comfortable bar and enjoyed a couple glasses of wine. We let our server pick for us, and both choices were excellent. For food, we split the fig, gorgonzola, and prosciutto salad. Beautifully presented and full of flavor. For our entrée, we shared a pasta with broccoli rabe and sausage--another solid dish. But the real standout might have been the focaccia bread. Honestly, some of the best I've ever had--fresh, light, and incredibly delicious. Great food, a comfortable atmosphere, and nice to see a place remain consistently good after all these years.
