We had dinner with our family! I was pleasantly surprise that the prices are good for the amount of food you received! We ended up taking left overs for the next day! Service was good. Spot seems clean all over. Good temperature. read more

I stopped into Downtown Café in Glen Cove and everything from drinks to entrées was a hit. We started with a round of festive cocktails and mocktails -- the Mistletoe Mockarita, the Gingerbread Cookie mocktail, the Yule Mule, and the Salted Caramel Espresso Martini. Each had its own cozy holiday twist and honestly set the tone for the whole meal. For food, the short rib tacos were the standout. Packed with flavor and dipped in a super tasty aioli, they were easily our favorite. The buffalo chicken sliders were another win, perfectly crispy and served with fries. The chicken club with sweet potato fries felt fresh, light, and still really satisfying. We wrapped up with the Santa Fe salad, loaded, refreshing, and dressed in a great balsamic vinaigrette. If you haven't been to Downtown Café yet, it's definitely a spot worth checking out -- great vibes, great flavors, and perfect for a casual meal with really good food. read more

The food at Downtown Café was great! To clarify, this is a sports bar, not a cafe. I believe it's also a pizzeria next door, and you can order those menu items on the sports bar side, too. We had an errand in the area and starving so we walked into the first place we found. They have pretty much all the usual sport bar food. I had the jerk chicken sliders (one of their specials) and my husband had a burger. This is not authentic jerk chicken, but it was tasty. The food took a bit to come out but when it did, it was piping hot and clearly freshly made with good ingredients. Even our leftovers kept really well. The complimentary bread that was brought to the table was also hot right out of the oven- it was so good, I had two pieces. The service was friendly and attentive. It seemed like a lot of regulars were dropping in to watch the Sunday afternoon NFL games. There were a few TVs and one of the games was on with sound. I wouldn't be upset if I found myself here again for a casual meal. Seems like a good, reliable spot. read more

large variety of menu items, many different appetizers, and also kid friendly with kid menu, which includes crayons and coloring paper, service was great. The food was great , eat there very often read more

Consistently great food no matter what we order! The portions are generous and we usually order a variety for sharing. Delivery is friendly, fast and reliable. The restaurant offers casual outdoor seating in warmer seasons or indoor service. The Chef always comes out to say hello and check on us- who does that anymore?? Our favorites are the chicken francaise, the wings, and the burgers, and yet everything is tasty. The spinach egg drop soup is also yummy and hearty, although is a bit on the salty side. It's our all-around go-to place! read more

First tried this place out when I was starving at some Harry Potter event. Grabbed a few plain slices and an upside down Sicilian vodka slice. Wow was I blown alway, the pizza was so good we made our way back the following weekend to get pickles at a farmers market and pizza for lunch. Since the vodka slice was so good I had to try this out in a chicken roll so I grabbed on of those, a plain slice and some garlic knots. I was not disappointed as everything came out fantastic. Staff themselves were interesting but the food kore than makes up for lack of personal skills. read more

The pizza store next door is pretty good. But the actual restaurant just wasnt up to par. Food seems flavorless and service slacks efficiency . I got a water with lemon and the lemon was slimy and rotten. I returned it and was not given any type of apology or resolution. The sauce on the personal pizza tastes like it comes from a can and food tastes like its been frozen. I will say, they are in a great location and had a decent salad. read more

The waitress was rude and the food was greasy and disgusting. I thought it would be nice when they had the trivia game going on but they were cheating. read more

Really great pizza and I love the chicken with the bruschetta. Excellent fast local service.

Grilled Calamari salad, find Waldo (calamari), Tacos good, Tito on the rocks, watered down, not worth $100.00 plus, waiter, very good.

Best pizza on Long Island. I've tried several of their specialty slices. BBQ chicken pizza best slice ever. Staff is very pleasant and courteous. Nice looking very clean restaurant. read more

I've been working in the area for a little over 2 years and have always heard really good things of the restaurant. During the summer time/spring, it's the place to be, apparently. They have good outdoor seating and prime space for the downtown concerts/shows. I finally got a chance to visit and was pleasantly surprised. I expected the place to be packed. It was moderately busy and almost has a dive feel to it. My girlfriend and I decided to sit at the bar for a more casual feel. I ordered a beer, and she ordered a cocktail. Her favorite cocktail wasn't on the menu but the bartender was able to re-create from a brief verbal description. We placed an order for a Humpty Dumpty Burger and the Penne Alla Vodka. The food was a lot better than expected. My burger was juice and hearty and was reminiscent of what you'd hope to get at all-american kind of joint. My girlfriend's Penna Alla Vodka had a little bit of runny sauce and not as thick but had great taste. Overall, I'd definitely recommend for a night out here. read more

Asked the bartender what lagers they had on draft- got recommended a GUINNESS Then asked what domestics they had- the bartender started at me with a blank face and asked 'A what?' Come on- do better read more

I came here with my friend for the Sunday bottomless brunch. It was $65 for all you can drink, pastries, fruit, dessert, and an entree. The drinks included bellinis, mimosas, screwdrivers, and bloody marys. The brunch started with a basket with muffins, bagels, and fruit pastries and a plate of fruit with Nutella to dip it in. For the entree, I got the Eggerything Pizza and it was very good. When it was time for dessert, we were both so full (and tipsy) we turned it down. The drinks were alright. The bellinis were just prosecco with grenadine in it, not peach. Both the screwdriver and bloody marys were made with Sea Ice, which is *literally* the cheapest vodka you can buy. The screwdrivers were good. However, the bloody mary was so salty it was undrinkable. The ambiance in the restaurant was not really what I was expecting from brunch. There were 5 TVs with 3 different things playing, which I found pretty distracting. Our server was very nice and was always checking in on us. Overall, I would recommend the bottomless brunch. read more

I have lived here for 14 years or so and a month ago I tried delivery for my evening meal. When my son lived with me a myriad ago he often ordered from them. My first order from them was a slam dunk! Hamburger was excellent; fries crispy. Decided to see if it was a fluke tonight and went to the restaurant itself. Again, I ordered a burger. It was as good as the first time! How could I have overlooked this gem? I'm giving it 5 stars for locality, price, and quality. Try it! read more

Stopped in for a bowl of onion soup and some calamari. Waiter was friendly. Soup was good and not too salty. Calamari was nice. Hubby's burger was nice too. Would definitely return. read more

Definitely the worst pizza I have ever encountered, we ordered a regular pie and threw it in the garage, I truly almost vomited they put some very potent garlic substance on it. dominoes would even be better this is a disgrace to pizza read more

This is my favorite pizza in Glen Cove/surrounding areas. When I first moved out here I was on a hunt for a "NYC" slice and this is where I come to get my pizza fix. Never burnt, always delicious sauce to cheese ratio and absolutely love the fluffy crust! I get wraps etc too which taste great as well read more

Recommended to stop down with our family for lunch to the Downtown Pizzeria, glad we did. It can be challenging to find restaurants who can use simple ingredients and create something special. Our family stopped in for a quick lunch and we kept it simple; a large regular pie with a bunch of fresh garlic knots. I will say, this is close to if not the best regular pie in Glen Cove imo. Their dough and oven make such a light and fluffy bubbling crust, it's almost as if you're eating fresh baked naan from a great Indian restaurant. Granted they made the pie to order and can't know if every pie is this good, but ours was incredible. While at the counter, we were hit with a blast of garlic, olive oil and spices emanating from a giant bowl of freshly made garlic knots passing by. They were hands down, the best we have ever enjoyed. Not too much dough, epic flavor, just perfect. Maybe it was the timing while everything was just being made, but lucky us, we will be back. It should be noted our lunch was also very reasonably priced. A large pie and 6 knots came to 20 bucks and change with a tip. Had the chance to check out the walk through cafe next door and looking forward to trying their wings and burgers I keep reading about soon. Best part is, the food is only going to get better moving so fast when the many new residents move in across the street; after a brief period of wonky service no doubt. Really great place to eat, enjoy. read more

The Downtown Cafe - Large regular pie at downtown pizzeria. Seriously look at the all the tiny bubbles (and the big ones) in this crust. It's just amazing. - American Near Me - Glen Cove, New York

I chose this restaurant based on 1. review 2. cozy interior 3. a fairly wide selection of dishes 4. inexpensive prices. My choice turned out to be correct. All dishes ordered were delicious, prepared from fresh ingredients, and the portions were quite large. Our waiter Max was very attentive and helpful. As for the dessert, I would like to say that the tiramisu was a regular biscuit with cream and did not impress. I really liked Nutella donuts, they are worth a try read more

The downtown cafe has been one of my favorite places for many years. Recently one of the new partners has revamped the place into being more upscale and providing a unique experience. The staff is top notch. They are friendly, polite, and extremely hard working. The food is delicious. The drinks are perfect. The owners treat you like family. I will continue to support the downtown cafe. Keep up the good work all! read more

We have been coming here since the day it opened. Food is always delicious and proportions are large. You definitely get what you pay for and will always have extra to bring home. Their healthier grilled versions of classic dishes are amazing. Chicken Parm Chicken Frances and more are amazing. Highly recommend you can even order pizza from their pizza shop next door so your options are plenty. read more

Wow! What a hidden gem! We had the soup of the day which was a cream of Brussels sprouts and it was excellent! Two of us got the chicken francese which was outstanding! The chicken was super tender and the sauce delicious! The portions were huge...enough for 2! My husband got the baked ziti which was very good. read more

I really love the chicken Francese here. The Thai wings are also pretty tasty. Never had a bad meal. Thank you!

After God created the heavens and earth, separated the seas and skies, gathered the water and grew the vegetation he decided to rest on the seventh day. What the authors of the Bible failed to document was that on that day, an overwhelming hunger manifested in him, one that could not be satisfied with only his writings BUT needed to also tickle the taste buds. So, "The Great" Downtown Cafe was created to take care of everyone's hunger here on earth and we are all that much better and happy for it. Thru time "The Great" Downtown Cafe decided to create NY's BEST GRANDMA PIZZA (personal square) and BUFFALO CHICKEN SPRING ROLLS and the rest as they say is history. The Downtown Cafe manages the appetite of my wife and mine each and every Friday evening and most definitely do an extraordinary job (to say the least) and my wife and I couldn't be happier. The owners along with their Downtown staff are"The Tops" as Mel Tormae would say. Downtown is to culinary arts what Glen is to carpentry -"A TRUE VISIONARY!"- So in conclusion, don't walk BUT run to The Downtown because you don't want them, you NEED them for all your belly filling needs. xoxoxoxoxoxo Jen & Dan Bailey read more

We stopped by for a birthday lunch and drinks. We only ordered a wrap to share and three cocktails and our bill came to over $60. Again, this is for one chicken wrap and 3 cocktails. Each drink was $14 a piece. Just fair warning for anyone else looking for a quick inexpensive lunch. This, sadly, is not the place for you. For these prices, we wished we had gone to La Familia up the street. read more

Our favorite pizza store in Glen Cove. Great customer service too: extremely attentive. I came in for lunch with my little boy. We only ordered one slice and sat their outdoor eating. I was totally shocked a young gentleman came out to offer if I need cut the slice into pieces since my 3yrs boy can only bite tiny pieces! How classy is this? Thank you Downtown Cafe! You have won our stomach and hearts! Lol. 9/6/16. A much better slice than Vito s. Two days in a row eat a slice of pizza here. Like it very much: crispy edge n soft inner at the same time. Thin crust and most of all not greasy yet more fresh taste than Vito s in my opinion. More reasonable price than Vito's. I m definitely s new fan. They make good burgers too. read more

It's alright. Has good wings I will say but the soda was flat, burger was mid. Solid place to go when everything closed

Last night my husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and the food was great but our night was ruined by one of the employees. There was one blonde hostess (I think she was a hostess) who kept ignoring me and only speaking to my husband but that is one thing. Once we left, my husband realized he left his card so he went in to get it and this same employee came onto him VERY hard. He immediately came back and told me as he was insanely uncomfortable. It was disgustingly disrespectful. We have loved this place for a while but this was unacceptable. read more

Really cute place , on one side it's a pizzeria and on the other side a pub/cafe with outdoor seating . We ordered a plain slice , a grandma slice and a chicken sesame slice , the plain slice was good but I wasn't impressed , the grandma slice was pretty good but the chicken sesame slice was amazing ! It's like a huge meal , the plate was so heavy I couldn't believe it was just a pizza , tons of chicken , so tender, juicy and delicious and the sweet sesame sauce went so well with the saltiness of the cheese , def a must try ! Very friendly service , we were given garlic knots on the house since it was our first time there which I thought was very welcoming and sweet , we will def be back to try some more specialty slices ! Thank you read more
