This was our first visit and definitely not the last. It's a bit of a hike from the crib but well…read moreworth it. First impressions: Our hostess, Janine is a bubbly, bright, breath of fresh air. Ambiance: "Soft Casual", I.e. you feel good in nice jeans, leather and bling. Service: Outstanding! The servers, especially Joe, were attentive without being annoying. Food: Fresh hot bread(s); Generous and fab Fried Calamari and decent Crab cake appetizers (I'm picky being from the Chesapeake Bay region); Excellent Short Rib Pasta and oh so good Shrimp and Crab Pasta entrees! We had the Apple Crumble with Vanilla Ice Cream but I wish I had room for the cheese cake and chocolate ambrosia cake! I think the Chef loves whipped cream almost as much as I do! Easily enough food for a family of 4 for two consecutive dinners! I now understand why everyone had take away bags! They have a prixe fixe menu for the remainder of the year so do make sure to stop by. I know I will. (Reservations recommended).

My friend and I came in on a Sunday afternoon during Long Island Restaurant Week. She read the…read morehours of operations wrong, so we arrived a bit early - before opening actually - but we were still welcomed. What was most impressive was we were waited on by the owner of the joint, David! He was so friendly and sweet, changing the temperature to our needs and offering suggestions on his menu. Unlike most places during LIRW, this restaurant serves full size menu options and not the watered down, miniature versions that most other places do. She chose the Mac & Cheese as her app, I chose the Crab Cakes. I've never been a big fan of Mac & Cheese at restaurants because they just can't compare to my mama's, but I was impressed. This 7-cheese Mac and Cheese was so rich and delicious. You can taste the different cheese throughout and there was more than enough for us to share. The Crab Cakes were delicious! Although, I can't say I was able to pull chunks of crab like I had hoped, they were still delicious accompanied by the caper sauce drizzled on top. We shared our apps because they were so plentiful, and we almost forgot we had entrees and desserts left! As an entree she chose the Shrimp Scampi, which came with rice, veggies and more shrimp than I've seen on a plate - skewered and sauced to PERFECTION. I chose the Short Rib pasta - which was a plate full of rigatoni in a savory brown sauce with grape tomatoes, shaved parmesan and enough short rib to eat in every bite. Needless to say, we had to take our desserts to go. Hers was a chocolate cake and mine a Creme Brûlée. I was pleased when the server (who took over for David) let me know because it was being taken to go, the Creme Brûlée wouldn't hold up well, but they had a good alternative. Overall, I definitely feel like I got more than my $29.95 price tag for the meal between quality and service. I would recommend this spot to anyone in the area, and will definitely be coming back.

This review is basically about the pizza at Sorrento's of Long Beach about six years ago Dave…read morePortnoy gave it 8.7 which is a very very high score but it seems like things have changed since then Sorrento is no longer just a pizzeria. It's an Italian deli/café/restaurant but they do sell pizza and being a pizza lover. I was really looking forward to tasting a pizza that was given an 8.7 by someone who does not give high numbers often. The pizza was lackluster in flavor. The sauce did not taste like anything neither did the cheese or the dough speaking of the dough. It was tough and thick nothing artisanal about it or amazing as the other people have left reviews state, I'm sure the food at the restaurant of the café is amazing. This is strictly a pizza review for Sorrento's. I also tasted the chicken cutlets, which were just average.

My husband and I popped into Lido's for lunch and WOW -- the food came to play…read more First of all, the complimentary pickles? Elite. But the real star of the opening act was the coleslaw. I am not a coleslaw person (like... ever), but this one changed me. The veggies were crisp, the dressing was perfectly balanced -- not too sweet, not too heavy -- and honestly, I could eat a tub of it and not get tired. Character development unlocked. We decided to share the Heartburn Wrap, which was definitely big enough for two. Minor user error on my part -- I thought it came with pastrami and hot peppers, but apparently I ordered it wrong. That one's on me, and trust and believe I'm running it back next time the correct way. We also shared the matzo ball soup and let me tell you... it tasted like somebody's bubbe made it with love and a little bit of magic. Straight up warm hug in a bowl. Service-wise, our server wasn't exactly warm and fuzzy -- but honestly, I didn't come here to make friends. I came to eat, and on that front, Lido's absolutely delivered. Bottom line: phenomenal food, generous portions, and we will 100% be back. Must try.

I got a bowl of matzo ball soup and split a sandwich with my mother. That along with the all you can eat kosher dill pickles filled me up nice and good. Two things to keep in mind though.

Place is on the small side, which can lead to it being noisy, but it wasn't too bad when we were there. Food came out quick and hot. Prices a bit higher than other diners, but that might be what's necessary to stay in business locally. I got a reuben with fries. Not the absolute best I've had, not even close to the worst, and ultimately satifying. Fries were a bit bland and I could've used more russian dressing. My wife enjoy her burger, and my son enjoyed his chicken and french fries. Egg cream was good as well, and the portions were formidable. A good dining experience all around.
