    Eggplant Parmigiana
    Aba H.

    We stopped by on a weekday night after a late appointment. It's in the King Kullen parking lot on Sunrise Highway with plentiful parking. We'd been there many years ago, when our kids were little, mostly for pizza, and I once stopped there for lunch on my own. At the next table were three generations of a family celebrating a birthday. The food was plentiful, very reasonably priced, and the menu offered many choices. My wife suggested splitting the antipasto side salad and eggplant parmigiana... good call! Our waiter was helpful and experienced, and the kitchen was fairly prompt. There was also some quirky ambience, for example, a motorcycle hanging on the wall. All things considered, a very good choice for traditional southern Italian cuisine at a family oriented neighborhood pizza/restaurant.

    Spiked Low sugar lemonade

    Great Food and Service! I dinned there with my daughter and a few friends. Stephanie behind the bar was amazing and the drinks were so good. I Recommend the espresso martini, watermelon Margarita and the low Sugar spiked lemonade. I have diabetes so the new low sugar drinks are prefect for me! Food was impeccable, I ordered the Linguine with garlic and oil with shrimp and deff something I would be ordering again! Pasta Comes with a side salad and bread, first there was 2 types of bread, one typical italian with butter spread so good with the pasta and another was more like cheesy bread sticks with sauce and I ate all of it! The salad was fresh and their homemade vinaigrette is a soo good I would order just a large house salad next time! Generous amount of pasta and shrimp had to take some home for later! My daughter and her friend got pizza and mozzarella sticks and they ate it all and had fun, nice family spot and welcoming to kids. Dessert was great too ice cream and an Oreo cheese cake to die for! Another generous amount we took half the cheesecake home. 5 stars going to make this place my regular spot!

    Our trusted Italian restaurant for over 45 years. A standout for dining in, taking out, in house or home catered meals. We have done it all with Piccolo and have no complaints ever their staff is super friendly. The owner is amazing and the food excels.

    Decent neighborhood restaurant. My combo baked pasta dish: lasagna, eggplant, manicotti seemed to have melted into each other. Prob could have been cooked less. Baked clams were good. Good service.

    Another fantastic find on Long Island for an Exceptional Italian restaurant. I got to see all the…read moredishes coming out of the kitchen ( because we had a table next to the kitchen ) they all looked incredible. We ordered Veal Parmigiana and Veal Siciliana both delicious and the veal was like butter, so tender. The sauces on the entrees so flavorful. Side of linguine with tomato sauce and roasted garlic perfect. Very limited wine list , we went with the Chianti tonight which was very good. They had a key lime pie as a special dessert for the night and I can never pass one up, another delicious item. Menu has individual entrees and also offers a family menu options for larger parties. Make sure you call for reservations, definitely gets crowded. Highly recommend

They now have valet parking, but they don't take reservations, despite what's stated on the Internet. Prices have increased and the menu has changed since our visit last year. It's a loud, mostly "smart casual" dressed crowd, and I found myself leaning over the table to enable conversation. Last year, mid-week, it was quiet. Our waitress, Julia, was articulate and very sweet. I ordered the Chicken Sorrentino, which was breaded chicken cutlets with breaded eggplant cutlets in an oily tomato sauce with de minimus infused veggies and melted mozzarella cheese on top. It came with a side dish and I chose the linguine (instead of potato/veggies), but asked for whatever sauce would come with the entrée (instead of marinara, etc.). My dish was delicious, but I became saturated after eating half of it (possibly from the oil or because the portions are so generous), so I took the other half home for another dinner. I purposely didn't order an appetizer to save a little space for dessert and coffee. That said, for starters, they put out complimentary but crude bruschetta for the four of us and they partially sliced about a six or eight inch piece of plain Italian bread in a rattan basket with pats of butter wrapped in foil. I often try the tiramisu for dessert, when available in Italian restaurants. I enjoyed theirs, despite its variant albino appearance (see photo) and flavor. The relative absence of cocoa or espresso initially made me feel as if I had ordered scotch and got a Shirley Temple, but it was still well prepared and went well with coffee.

    Came here to finish up restaurant week and couldn't be any happier. I mentioned to my friend \who…read morelives in Merrick that we were coming here and she told me that it was her families "goto" for Italian food. It was a snap to get here from the Meadowbrook Parkway and they have a very convenient parking lot right on the side of the building. We came into a very comfortable venue, took our seats and was joined by our waiter immediately after sitting down. Loved the fact that there was really nice music in the background. I am so tired of hearing loud techno while trying to enjoy my meal. We started with some delicious toasted bread (I should have known better) and ordered shortly thereafter, (We had already reviewed menu at home.) Our dinner consisted of: Appetizers: - Mussels in a garlic / white wine sauce - Mozzarella caprese Main Entreès - Shrimp Scampi with linguine - Chicken Cutlet Parm with linguine - Chocolate Cake - Italian Cheesecake Everything was wonderful. My wife loved the caprese while I thought the mussels were amongst the best I ever had. (Best were in Bruges, Belgium) The Chicken Parm was thin, crispy on the outside with tender meat and the Shrimp was fresh and tasty. All this was followed by wonderful desserts with hot coffee. There were enough items on the menu to make me want to come back. On another note... I was a little surprised to see another Yelp review from a fellow Elite member which was not so favorable. Not sure how you can go from one extreme to the other but sorry to read that the experience was not as good as mine. KUDOs to the Team at Molto Bene.
