    Seafood Fra Diavolo
    Andrea F.

    On this cold January Friday night, we ventured out to Port Jefferson for a dinner out with friends. For all of us, this is a favorite spot for lots of reasons including location, warm ambiance, friendly attentive service and delicious food. This restaurant is a cozy spot that is brimming with hustle and bustle but not in a bad way. With a 7:00 pm reservation, we were immediately greeted upon entering and seated. It's a perfect spot to dine out and actually be able to chat amongst yourselves. We were never once rushed and we were able to savor not only our meals but each other's company. Warm bread with a homemade smear greeted us while we looked at our menus. Each couple started with the appetizer for two. It looked so yummy that I almost forgot to snap a photo - albeit missing one baked clam before I remembered! We each chose something different because they have lots of wonderful choices. Our dining entrees of the evening were seafood Fra Diavolo, black angus skirt steak, veal parmigiana and grilled chicken over salad. We were all happy with our dinner selections. We finished off our meals with a sorbet trio and crème' brûlée. We'll be back again!

    Here's a restaurant where we ate out while visiting my stepdaughter. We came here for lunch after visiting some shops in the area. We had a nice gentleman as our waiter, Anthony. He was very attentive, and I approved of him liking my stepdaughter lol. The food was very good. I had seafood pasta, Hubby enjoyed his burger, and my stepdaughter had pizza. We also had some appetizers, mixed Cajun-style shrimp and chicken. I wasn't crazy about the appetizer but i enjoyed my seafood pasta. Nice quiet restaurant. Stop by for pasta if you feel like having some Italian food!

    This was our initial visit to Pasta Pasta located in downtown Port Jefferson. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating options. We began with the bacon-wrapped shrimp, which was exceptionally tasty. For our main courses, we chose Penne al Vodka and Ravioli Parmigiana. The staff was pleasant and very polite. The food was satisfactory. Parking can be somewhat challenging since there is only a paid public parking lot available.

    Off the beaten path. But in the path of great food. Great pasta dishes Great seduction of wine , great selection of desserts

    Lemon cookie gelato.

    This restaurant always delivers. The Monday night special is a great deal. Two apps, two entrees, two desserts and a bottle of wine for less than 90 bucks fantastic. We will be back for sure. The Monk Fish special was amazing!

    Enjoyed another great meal at Pasta Pasta. Tried the prix fix Calamari, Salmon and Tira Misu (no idea if I spelled any of that correctly!) Great service as usual. Very consistent here. You won't be disappointed!

    After a day spent at the Charles Dickens festival in town, the Honey and I were famished! I love when restaurants get into the Christmas spirit! The decorations with their sparkling lights and festive greenery lifted our spirits. A singer and guitarist serenading us with Christmas carols, put smiles on our faces. Our server Sarah was friendly and knowledgeable. There were no empty tables in our section. Between Sarah and the great team of bussers, things ran smoothly. We started off with baked clams. I was expecting little necks but was surprised when served cherrystones. The clams had a lot more breading than I prefer but, were flavorful. Our entrees of veal parmigiana with rigatoni and swordfish on a bed of field greens were fresh, seasoned well and totally satisfying! Swordfish can be dry if overcooked, this dish was moist and delicious! We finished with a slice of light and fluffy NY cheesecake. Tawny port wine and herbal tea. On the way out I made sure to tell the hostess what an enjoyable meal we had. We are looking forward to returning. This establishment has been around since 1991, there's a reason for that. Go and check them out. Thank me later.

    Chocolate cake. Pass on this. Dry and weird taste.

    Nice decor, fantastic service and some good food. Most of the food was bland, some was well seasoned. Overall, the food was disappointing. Everything else was very good, but in the end it's about the food. Wheelchair accessible.

    A local favorite for dates, family gatherings, and celebrations with consistently great food, intimate seating and friendly service. Their garlic bread is always fantastic and favorites include the baked chicken, Tortelloni Stuffed With Six Cheeses, and Sautéed Chicken Breast, along with the Dark Chocolate Bag. It's been a reliable classic downtown in Port Jefferson for years!

    have been coming here for years. the bread and Classic Caesar Salad was delicious it has anchovies which most restaurants dont include but was awesome. i also got the six cheese tortellini and the lobster chunks were delicious and so fresh. finally i got the rainbow cheesecake which was good too. service was ok almost a bit too attentive

    Very small, quaint restaurant. We came here on a weekend for dinner and didn't have to make reservations. I had the Seafood Fra Diavolo and my wife had the Blackened Chicken and Shrip. We also ordered sides of Mashed Potatoes and Sautéed Spinach. We both thought the food was okay.

    We visited on a busy (early) Friday night without a reservation because we were told you can't make…read moreone for 4 at this place. Surprisingly, one last table was immediately available, so that's good! The rest... not great. First off, we were given food menus, but no drink menu. Our waitress was busy, so after about 10 mins we were able to flag down a busser and ask them if they could kindly hand us a drink menu, which they did even though that's not their job. Another 20 mins go by until our waitress finally showed up to take our orders. Complimentary rolls and olive oil to dip came, which was good. Then, 3 drinks came, the fourth one (a soda, no fancy cocktail) we waited 10 mins for and then had to remind the waitress about it. We were all done with our first round of drinks way before the food came, so ordered another round. Then, the food came. BUT! Not for everyone, only for 2 out of 4. We waited a couple of mins so we could all start at the same time, but after a while decided to just start because the food was getting cold. A whole 15 minutes later, the third person got their food, followed by the fourth person, as the first two people were already done eating. Super awkward. At one point the waitress put a drink on our table with the words "I know you didn't order this, but I can't find the person who did so you get an extra, enjoy!" At first I was happy about that free drink, but a couple mins later she came back and took it away again! Gave it to the table next to us. I guess the look on my face wasn't very happy after being teased like that, so she did end up grabbing me a free drink. The food itself received mixed results. The salad was ok, $16 for green leaves, some beets and some cheese. Dressing was good, but served in plastic to-go containers? Added chicken for an extra $4.50 was good. Brick-oven pizza looked good but tasted like cardboard. I fully expected the bill to be wrong, with all the back and forth with forgotten drinks, extra drinks etc., but it was correct, yay! Probably won't be back though.

At first I was going to complain that for a $29 pasta dish via DoorDash (Orecchiette di Rabe) their to-go containers don't seal leaving a garlicky soupy mess in the bag and everywhere else and that the packaging should be better. But the second day I had leftovers of the same dish still in the container that won't seal properly, I found a long hair in literally my second to last bite. Not my color, not my length and it was intertwined with pieces of pasta. Also, those were not sun dried tomatoes. They were warm pieces of tasteless lumps. Do better Carnival.

He really tried to make sure I had a good experience and invited me back to enjoy the dining room atmosphere. Because of his excellent service, I left him a 45% cash tip and told him I hoped to return. Unfortunately, the entrée was a big disappointment. I ordered the Linguine Vongole. While the pasta itself was good the kitchen had forced most of the clam shells open split. Having to guess which shellfish might make you sick really ruined the meal. Based on the entree I didn't stay for dessert. Unfortunately not being seated where I originally made a reservation for lead me to an atmosphere of rambling of a drunk sharing some pretty wild ramblings. Between the entrée issue and the drunk distractions, I skipped the rest of the meal, though I really hope the service on a return visit matches the kindness of my main waiter.

It was close to closing & my hubby called them to let them know. He went back & at least they made the correct dinners & since food can't be given back, the wrong ones were ours as well. Yes, we now have 2 extra nice dinners plus complimentary dessert. That was commendable so thank you for that. I did not eat, as it was late & I was aggravated honestly just went to bed . I'm sure I will enjoy the meals later. Thank you again for making it right. I took off 1 star for the experience placing the order & another for the error & inconvenience of making 2 trips.

The food and service were great, and I want to acknowledge our server Christine, who was a real joy to interact with. We stopped in for a Friday lunch. I ordered a salad and one of the soup specials. My Burrata Salad was $14 for a big portion of mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and basil topped with a big hunk of burrata cheese, roasted peppers and a balsamic glaze. The salad was excellent, especially the creamy decadent Burrata. Half of it came home with us. My soup was a cup of Mediterranean Lentil for $6. It came in a bowl-sized portion with a big hunk of fresh Italian bread. Both were great, and I loved how the soup was served piping hot and not tepidly lukewarm like so many places serve their soups. My wife ordered an Eggplant Parmigiana Flatbread, and this is where Christine displayed her customer service skills. She told us the restaurant had run out of Eggplant the night before and ran back to the kitchen to see if there was a new supply ready for today. She came back and said it hadn't been fully prepped yet, so it wasn't available, but would we like to try Cauliflower Parmigiana instead? That sounded intriguing to us, and we agreed. The flatbread that came out ($16) was delicious. Big nuggets of sauteed Cauliflower with cheese and marinara sauce on a flatbread. It tasted so good, we vowed to try making our own Cauliflower Parm at home. Lunch ran around $40 after tax and tip, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the Port Bistro & Pub.
