We stopped here for Easter dinner and had a fantastic experience!…read more Our waiter, Aiden P, was incredible. Super attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. He made great suggestions such as subbing out gnocchi for rigatoni on my ITA Parm. We really appreciated his expertise and the quality of our meals reflected his suggestions. The food was great, some of the best modern Italian food I've had. The bread service was great, the appetizers were wonderful, and my ITA Parm was so good. The sauce was insanely tasty and I'm already craving more! Thankfully, there were plenty of leftovers! Dessert was good as well, nothing crazy but I appreciated Aiden ensuring I had a safe option with my nut allergy. My cocktail, the ITA, was also very tasty! Interior is clean and modern. The music was at a comfortable volume which I appreciated. ITA Kitchen reminded me of Vespa in Ronkonkoma, but that had very loud club music that turned me off. I was very happy with the ambiance here. This is a top spot for me now and I will definitely be back!

As an 100% Italian, whose grandparents were born in Italy, I am pretty critical on this dish. I will say this; all restaurants these days portray this as a soup. It really isn't. It's more of a thick stew. However, I'm trying to get used to this concept. Locale does the new version of this as good as you could possibly do it. The flavor is actually authentic to the way my grandmother used to make it. It's just thinner. I'm sure a lot of you have never had this any other way, so it won't be a big deal. That being said I 100% recommend it. As referenced in my early review, I had Nonna's meatball as well. This is a 100% authentic delicious Italian meatball. My opinion is unfettered. This is a fantastic Italian restaurant and you guys should all check it out.

Definitely gets business, and I understand why! Came with two of my friends and sat there, but with the dinner rush, our order somehow got lost and only one persons order was processed, so we were waiting for awhile. Didn't mind this because the guys are so friendly and it was an innocent mistake. They also gave us an extra serving of garlic knots for the mishap :) the pizza is fantastic and will definitely come back when I'm in the area.

Cool spot with a Manhattan vibe "behind" Main Street in Patchogue…read more The reason this is key is because, since they face out to the firehouse and residential areas, parking USUALLY isn't a problem. There's a small lot that's free and you can park on Jennings. (sorry residents). We went on NYE so had to park several blocks away. No biggie. The inside is dark and cool with a city-vibe. Ample bar space and 1-4 tops an some banquet seating that lets you look out over the street. We were greeted right away by what turned out to be our server and seated promptly by the windows (we had a reservation). Also greeted by a gentleman that we think might have been her dad. The young lady hustled all night and managed the crowd well. We never waited too long for her to check in on us and she was very helpful with selecting wine and clarifying menu items. That being said, THIS IS A SMALL PLATES JOINT. People expecting full-sized portions should adjust their expectations accordingly. We did, however, order the Trastavere seafood platter (medium) which came as a tower and seemed impressive. Two types of oysters (large and medium) were presented; briny and fresh and pretty damned tasty. There was also a ceviche and tuna tartare that was, unfortunately, a bit unremarkable, as was the shrimp cocktail (though the shrimps were pretty hefty). The American "black caviar" was a nice way to commemorate the meal. Nutty with a pop of salinity but maybe something you can skip. We meant to order the Carne e Formaggi but got the Gamberetto instead which was fine as it was pretty tasty nonetheless (made with shrimp but it almost tasted like smoked salmon). Virgola Manhattan was good but pretty standard. Follow-up drink of dirty Manhattan was blissfully salty and cold. But back to the menu: we are unsure if they have an actual kitchen back there which would also explain the small plates concept and oyster and chilled fish options. The bruschetta was tasty, as mentioned, but it seems like they cut and toasted the bread and topped it with the crudo. The other bruschetta options featured ingredients from other menu items that could be re-purposed for multiple dishes. Smart but expect this. We plan on returning and trying the charcuterie board (mix and match cheeses and meats) and some cocktails. Overall, a nice night out and a nice option for dining and drinking around Patchogue. Cheers!

Everything was delicious and fresh, I only wished I lived close to this place because I would eat here all the time. Monday night dinner and only a few tables were filled which seemed strange to me since the food was A+, but the takeout was poppin. We started with 6 garlic knots. If you think you only need 6...you are wrong. You need 12, I'm serious! Such warm, crusty, garlicky goodness, they were gone in 60 seconds and we had to order more. - Caprese salad had perfectly ripe yellow and red tomato with a seriously gigantic ball of buffalo mozz - Caesar salad was a little too heavy on the dressing - fresh pasta so good! Papparadella with pesto and fresh mozz & rigatoni bolognese. Flavorful sauces! - Forresta pizza crust was so perfectly thin & crispy and the prosciutto was shaved thin and cooked crispy. Great combo with the arugula - sadly they were out of the tiramasu and sorbet so we tried a cannoli and it was very large filled with rich creamy ricotta and chocolate chips - thanks to a fellow yelper find...they have Mexican Coke!

They have a number of dining options, including a prefix menu which we took advantage of. Between the two of us, we had baked clams and a fried artichoke appetizer, Uncle Leo's chicken, Nonna's Sunday sauce with meatball, and ice cream sundaes for dessert. All the food was delicious and the portions were plentiful as we both took home half of our entrée, which will serve as dinner another night. I would definitely come back to this restaurant and look forward to sitting on the patio when the warmer weather arrives.
