Everything I had was fantastic, and the service was excellent. I sat at the bar, where I was…read moreserved by Alex G during Happy Hour. The fried calamari and jalapeño appetizer was delicious, except that I got more rings than tentacles. I would have preferred half tentacles/half rings, and there was a little too much breading for me. I also ordered the tortellini en brodo with some pancetta thrown in. I sprinkled some grated Parmesan cheese and fresh ground black pepper on top, and the flavors melded beautifully. I enjoyed a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon with my meal: Primitivo Di Manduria, Carlo Sani 'Oro' Riserva, Puglia. It is a full-bodied Italian red wine with a flavor profile of red jam, dark fruits, chocolate and spice--up my alley! I enjoyed it so much that I plan to buy a bottle at the first liquor store near me that has one for sale. Alex was very nice and accommodating, and the restaurant was clean. I will be back.

As with every Patrizia's on Long Island, you cannot go wrong with getting an italian dinner here…read more Of course each one has it's own flare, this one is designed a little more cozy looking than my experience at the Commack location but both are great and have their perks. At first I was a little frustrated because I believed there was very little parking but actually right by the front of the restaurant there are marked parking spots just for Patrizia's patrons only. The food is always great and the drinks are always made well.

First and foremost I've been reading the reviews and what is so consistent are the complaints about…read morethe portions and prices which is what I'm going to address exactly. First of all, I come in with a clipp coupon which is an incredible thing I highly suggest for everybody to look into the deals are incredible and the whole idea is to bring in brand-new customers which is what I was, this was my first time there a couple of weeks ago. I was really excited to try out this place, but yes, as many of the reviews say it's just a Pizzeria with some tables thrown inside. So it's not a fine dining restaurant by any chance but boy I can tell you from looking at the size of the menu and the outrageous prices you would have thought it was a five star restaurant!!! Seriously, many of the appetisers are in the $30 range, which is ridiculous- So when I walked in to pay the server who I assume is a waitress, maybe more, was named Maria and I see that she's been mentioned many times in the reviews so she's probably a regular there--- she seemed visibly disappointed and annoyed when I told her I have a clipp Certificate, to let people know who are not familiar. It's extremely similar to Groupon but much much better and much cheaper -- again the idea is to bring a new people although you can use it every time you go there which I have been told by people in the advertising business that the business owners actually hate this sort of thing because they actually lose money they're just taking a chance on bringing a new customers and introducing them to the business which could be beneficial in a long run So that was a turn off. Then I was told that I most likely wouldn't be able to use it because it's for Dine in only , however the one good thing is that somebody who apparently was the owner came over and told her basically to knock it off and stop worrying about that stuff and he said not a problem this time so I can say he was extremely nice and pleasant to speak with And that was nice of him to do that for me that one time if I do go back there at least I know moving forward that it's for dine in only and not takeaway- But the primary complaint here is I couldn't believe that my Dish was $37 and I was excited to try it out only to open it and find SEVEN Shrimp !!!! I mean they gotta be kidding me!! this dish is the shrimp or Renata of course you can see the thing that cost nothing which is pasta was packed to the brim.... Extremely disappointing, I was also purveying the pizzas and asking the prices and the prices were also a little bit ridiculous for a slice ... stuff look pretty good and the food tasted good but you gotta be kidding me for almost $40. I only got seven shrimp????? This is just another one of those restaurants that get over on the people... sad .

Delivery guy was very respectful too, so that's always a plus in my book. For the pizza, I'll definitely say it's different. We ordered a plain cheese pie and a Sicilian with pepperoni. Both could have benefitted from being in the oven a bit longer- but really decent pizzas. The Sicilian was airy and the pepperoni was delicious. Sauce is a bit sweet for my liking, but it was definitely unlike any other I've had in the area (maybe ever). The plain was thin which is always a plus. I wouldn't say this is going to be my go to spot in the future, but it will definitely go in the rotation to change things up. Worth every penny and a nice switch up from my usual spot (which is franks pizza nearby).

FYI I was not allowed to use my gift card. Called in an order for pickup and when I arrived they…read moretold me I would have had to tell them I was using a gift card while I was on the phone ordering because their gift cards are through a 3rd party. What difference does it make unless they higher the price with a gift card. Any ideas why? I had to give my credit card. Had I known this I wouldn't have ordered. Just wanted to use gift I was given since this is not my restaurant of choice. Now it's really not. I don't think this is customer service and anyway when I got their 20min later one of my hero's wasn't ready. They told me 15-20 mins. No other customers since it was 430pm on a Thursday not even in dining room. My restaurant of choice is Villa Monte and will stay that way. Anyone want a Red Volpe 50.00 gift card?

Popei's Clam Bar - Bethpage…read more Stopped into Popei's for a little Sunday Funday and was actually surprised by how empty the restaurant was when we arrived. We had a 4 PM reservation and were greeted right away by a very nice hostess. One thing I immediately appreciated--the TVs! The NFL game I was watching only had a few minutes left, so I was able to catch the ending before getting down to business. Our server, Gaby, was great. Funny, outgoing, attentive, and had excellent communication with us throughout the meal. We shared a few laughs along the way, which always makes for a better dining experience. Now let's talk about the mozzarella sticks... Our son decided to give them another shot. The last time we were here, we thought they were just kind of average. Today was a completely different story. Perfectly fried, great flavor, and an AWESOME cheese pull. Huge improvement! My wife and I shared the onion rings, which had a nice thin batter, were perfectly fried, and were absolutely delicious. For entrées, we went with a burger, skirt steak, and snow crab legs. The burger was very good, the skirt steak was again very good, and the snow crab legs tasted fresh and were delicious. Even though it wasn't crowded when we arrived, the inside still had that lively, welcoming atmosphere that we've enjoyed on our visits here. Overall, another wonderful experience at Popei's Bethpage. Good food, great service, plenty of laughs, and definitely a place we'll continue coming back to. And Joe R. -- you're a man of your word! You said you'd step up those mozzarella sticks, and you absolutely did. Well done, Popei's. Another enjoyable Sunday Funday!

This is one of my parents' (and my!) favorite restaurants…read more The staff is friendly and helpful, plenty of seats including regular dining and bar seats, and they may still have outdoor seating in the back as well (we didn't go back there).

I've never had a bad pizza at Saverio's and it's a must stop every time I'm even remotely in the…read moreMassapequa area. Every time I visit I always grab a few pizzas to bring home and I always make sure to ask to upgrade to DOP ingredients. This place is as authentic as it gets. From the oven, which was imported from Naples, to the owner being a certified pizzaiolo, and the amount of DOP ingredients in use and available, there's a level of care and respect for Neapolitan pizza that you can taste in the each pizza. The ingredients are excellent, the crust is consistently great, the dough has the perfect chew , and nothing feels like an afterthought. Over the years they've grown in popularity and have added several new items on the menu, to include pizzas, but the ones that stay constant in my rotation are Moms, The Margareta (DOP), and the meatball with ricotta. For me, they make the best neopolitan pizza on Long Island. I also love that it's connected to the pork store next door. There's something about the whole setup that feels like a throwback to my childhood and the kind of Italian American places I grew up around that seem like there's so few of today. Going to Saverio's is more than just grabbing a pizza. There's whole experience has a warmth and authenticity to it that's increasingly hard to find...and while you're waiting for your pizza, going next door and buying some food, whether it's cold cuts, cheeses, or pasta is very much a part of the experience. Saverios is genuinely one of a few places I always look forward to visiting when I'm on the Island. You should check it out if you haven't already.

This was another pizza spot we had to try and overall it was a great experience. I really loved the…read moreservice and how friendly everyone was, from placing the order all the way to picking it up. I definitely think these pies are best eaten fresh out of the oven when you can really get that nice crunch, but even after bringing them home, they still tasted pretty damn good. What made it fun was ordering a variety so the whole family could try a little bit of everything. Everyone ended up having their own favorite, which always makes for a good debate at the table. Mine was definitely the fig--the combination of flavors just worked for me. Good pizza, great service and a fun way to do pizza night with the family. Next time, I'm grabbing a slice straight out of the oven!

When I walked in, I was a little shocked because I didn't expect to see a full-service bar. I noticed, on my way in, a nice outdoor seating area. However, decided to sit inside. I was not seated by a host, but by the young lady behind the bar, who said I could sit anywhere. I waited about 5 minutes before someone came over. The menu was also surprising in a good way. They have a nice selection of items to choose from. I would say it's a step above everyday bar food. They were doing a nice lunch crowd. The cost for a soda and a pie was under $15.00 and truly a fair price. I certainly will be returning another time to try some of the other items. I will say this about the thin-crust pizza. I don't believe that they are making it because it is uniform. I believe the thin-crust manufacturer is local. It is a quality product.
