Vulcano 081 - Arugula salad with grilled chicken - Pizza Near Me - Rockville Centre, New York

So just to begin with walking to the place was greeted by nice happy gentlemen that had served my son and his mom the day before . I saw they had a good menu and wanted to come here myself as well with my son and two others . The AC was not working On a 86 degree day like you know it's going to Be hot so have it ready and fixed right ? And one of our guest was pregnant as well. So we are waiting and sweating and eating and sweating . We got the pizzas/ octopus, and calamari . All three were on point calamari having not been greasy and a very good sauce, octopus was perfectly excellent, and pizza all hot and crust was good and edible nice and soft as well. Then my son's clams and pasta was good , my truffle pasta had good flavor a bit salty though and the grilled chicken had zero flavor only the trifle sauce made it better. My brother in law had the aranacii balls I think they were and not bad either . My sister got the rissoto if you can call it that. The Rissoto was plain and slaty as well, with shrimp and scallops on the side . It was like you had to put it back together. It's not the worst place but not a great experience and I would not come Back here again unless for apps and pizzas only. And making sure AC works . read more

Having been in Italy, I thought that I had somehow returned to a restaurant in Italy without the flight! The food is THAT good! Frantz Michel is one of the new owners and makes everyone feel at home...just like in Italy...you are all "familia"! The food is outstanding, the service great, the prices fair, the ambiance homey...what more could one want? I would go there every night if I could! read more

I strolled into this place after hearing a lot about it, but I was disappointed by the food. The service was great though. It was the food that was a little disappointing to me. I ordered calamari and fried shrimp for $19 and the shrimp were tiny and the calamari were the size of a nickel... very small portions. The pizza was decent and I ordered fettuccine with Bolognese that was tiny and not spectacular at all I feel that it's very overpriced for the quality of food. I was not impressed will not return. read more

Not sure why it states this restaurant is closed because I have been there recently. I wanted to take a moment to compliment your restaurant. The pizza was absolutely excellent, flavorful, and delicious. What truly made the experience stand out, was the service. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and professional, creating a comfortable atmosphere. It's clear that a lot of pride goes into what you do and I'll definitely be returning and recommending your restaurant to others. read more

I would highly recommend recommend. read more

I have come here for dinner once but order pizza for takeout several times and each time we are delighted by their pizza. The dough tastes fresh, ingredients are of high quality. We've ordered the diavola and the valentina. The diavola is spicy without being overwhelming, the valentina is rich but very flavorful. My sleeper pick is their wings! Maybe a bit too salty but pairs wonderfully with a cold beer. The restaurant is more on the casual side, but is it's still nice enough for a date night. read more

Although the place was busy for a Friday, we were seated immediately at the bar. Food choices is mostly italian and a brick over pizza. Bar service is good Adrian the bartender makes the best Martinis.. Tried the wild berry cosmo and I'm addicted. Also tried the coconut Martini which was also quite good. Pours are generous. For appetizers the Octopus was quite good. Served with Hummus and Crisps.. You will eat everything in the plate.. Perfect compliments. For my entree.. Had the RVC pizza.. White sauce pizza with toppings which included Prosciutto, arugula and parmigiana cheese. Fantastic... Will make this a part of my regular rotation read more

Take out. Tasty well charred pizza. i had spicy salami pie with half pepperoni and regular . 2 for 1 uber deal . at first .bite thin crust good balance of all toppings tasty sauce . my salad (pear goat cheese walnuts )was fine but overly dressed and pricey for what it was. not sure what all the complaining about size ! this is about your standard individual coal oven . the only thing annoying is there are no larger pie options for bigger groups . it would be nice if they could figure out a homemade gluten free dough option and offer more veggie pie options. but other than that this will be my new go to pizza joint. i had been a grimaldi fan but of late consistency in char was missing . highly recommend read more

So I went back here for takeout and I don't know.... From the moment I walked in the door I could tell something was off. Waitress was talking to one table and I stood at the front for 7 minutes before even being acknowledged- there was one other worker in the dining room. The waitress was clearly upset with another worker and didn't hide it at all. Once I was acknowledged and helped, she started complaining- to the other worker. Mind you, I'm now standing around for 12 minutes for an order that showed it had been ready for 8 minutes before I walked in the door. She asked me to follow her to the back to pick up our pizzas. She went in to the kitchen and came back and handed me our pizzas - no thank you, no apology for the wait. As she thrust the pizza boxes into my hands, she's steady complaining to the other worker about someone in the back sitting on his ass. Clearly this upset her but why affect your service? Anyway, got home and the pizzas were completely underwhelming. Crust was chewy and the flavor I'd come to expect was lacking. Won't be back any time soon. read more

Had a small surprise party for my daughter in law at this wonderful eatery. I've thrown more than my share of parties in some of the best places in New York and I must say Vulcano 081 was right up there with their food and service. Vulcano 081 may be small compared to other restaurants but they put their heart and soul into pleasing both the host and guests. Many thanks to Alvin, Lisa and Adrien. My guests were very impressed and VERY FULL!! You went above and beyond! PS. Your drinks were amazing too!! read more

The food is good but they overcharge for simple menu items. I ordered a pasta dish and asked for additional protein. Additional chicken and shrimp is $5. I added salmon to the dish, two weeks ago I was charged an extra $13, however the price just happened to change to $18 without being advertised. They have good customer service but adding an additional $18 for a salmon filet to a $22 pasta dish is ridiculous, especially if not advertised. Good but not worth $40 . read more

It's been awhile since I've been here but it's as good as it's always been. Came here for dinner with my husband. It is a nice small town dining spot. More of an intimate setting. The staff was wonderful. All of them were super attentive, one was always on top of the drinks, another was on top of the food, another was always attentive to clear the table and pack leftovers. They have a tues Wednesday special of a four course meal, it was an absolute steal! You got an appetizer, salad, entree, and dessert for less that $30. The portions were just right! We both choose different items to share and have a taste of everything. The suppli was packed full of flavor. The pizzas were just as incredible as i remember! The Margherita was and has always been my favorite there with the Bianca coming in as a close second. Ended the night with tiramisu and chocolate gelato, it was perfect finish to the night. read more

We picked this new to us place to order a pizza to hold us over till dinner and had no idea that their Margherita Pizza was that incredibly delicious, my goodness, the flavor, the crust the char... my son who is incredibly difficult to feed ate almost 3 slices and let me tell you he's beyond picky even about easier stuff like pizza or macaroni. He was ripping the pie with his hands, I was in joyous shock, guess we have to order from here more often! The spicy Margarita drink was very nice too and I can't wait to try the salads and pastas, this place was such a lovely order tonight, the food was absolutely delicious and seeing my family enjoy it was so nice :) read more

Adrien greeted us so warmly and we were seated immediately. We ordered cocktails which are generous and cold. The fig and arugula salad is so delish. We then order pizza for each of us. We had meatballs pizza a white and fig pizza and a margarita pizza I can't say how hot and delicious they were read more

My husband and I were in the mood for some good wood-fired pizza so we decided to head to Vulcano. We had the Calamari and Burrata to start, which was so good! We also ordered two pies. The Valentina and the Vodka Pizza. Both were delicious! We couldn't stop eating them. We also ordered the Peach Sangria and Coconut Margarita. I'd recommend both. Everything was great and the staff was super friendly. We would definitely go back! read more

What a Rockville shocker! The Neopolitan pizza was a home run! It was cooked to perfection. Couldn't believe they even make a hand rolled squid ink pasta that blew my mind! The texture was spot on. The place doesn't look like much from the outside so didn't have high expectations so what a surprise. Our server, Adrian & the owner were very informative made for a perfect experience. read more

Vulcano 081 is an excellent Italian Neapolitan pizzeria in Rockville Centre. The house made pastas are excellent and all the staff were observing proper Covid precautions. I felt very safe dining inside. Also, have you ever had Portuguese octopus? The restaurant is spacious, the diners were spaced more than 6 feet apart, and the restaurant was not full of people. We enjoyed the octopus, crab cakes, black garganelli, cavatelli with broccoli rabe and sausage and the Vulcano pizza. The crab cakes were crispy and large. The pasta and pizza were the stars of the show. The black garganelli was perfect shape to absorb all the sweet tomato briny sauce. This dish was overflowing with the generous amounts of octopus and shrimps. I could not get enough of this dish. The cavatelli was so fresh and springy. It absorbed all the savory butteriness of the sausage and slightly bitterness of the rabe juices. The octopus was oven roasted with wood. It was so tender and had a great sear on the outside. It was served with house made humus, crispy salami and cherry tomatoes. This was my favorite way to eat octopus. From now on, I only want my octopus Portuguese style. The Vulcano Pizza was also perfect. I am a fan of the soft pillowy wood-fire seared pizza. The tomatoes were sweet, the spicy salami contrasted mildly spicy pickled jalapeno and the honey made the whole dish sing. This was as good as the pizza from Pizza loves Emily. I will def return for the pastas, pizza and the octopus! read more

Food is so amazing: my goto every time I want pizza. Customer service is also always on top, they're always so friendly and communicate things properly. I got the Salsiccia Pizza with honey drizzled on top, and it was absolutely delicious. The Portuguese Octopus was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was so delicious I ended up trying to eat it by itself. Their specials are so delicious as well, leaving me curious at every selection they offered. Finally, their affogato dessert was absolutely amazing. It was my first time trying it, and it definitely won't be my last. If you're looking for a place that offers a variety of casual fine dining Italian food, this is the place to go. If you're debating on eating out or staying in, definitely go for eating at the restaurant. The pizza tastes 10000x better when it comes straight out of their brick oven. Something about the dimmed lights must make it taste infinitely better. Definitely coming back next time! read more

Nothing spectacular. Pizza is about half the size of most other places, but the same price. Tastes good, but it's overpriced. The truffle fries were good....ish. They tasted like the box they came in. Not impressed at all. I had delivery, and even though they're less than a mile down the road, the food arrived cold. Yay. What's better than cold truffle fries. read more

I wanted to really like this place but they can do a lot better. The staff is friendly and kind but the place could use a deep cleaning and great deal of updating. The menu itself is a little tired as well. read more

COVID review: all waiters wearing masks, hand sanitizer at the front. Tables were spaced apart, although to be fair we pretty much had the restaurant to ourselves besides another couple way far away. The decor was really nice, but let's just jump straight to the food. Started out with the octopus and crab cakes. I haven't had many crab cakes, but good texture, not overpowering, slightly crisp on the outside. The octopus was perfection - tender, chewy (in a good, not undercooked way), smoky flavor, spritz of lemon and homemade hummus with chips and pepperoni on the side of the side haha. Main course was the vulcano pizza - as good as any woodfired pizza you could get, thin crispy crust which is the hallmark, and the spice of the jalapenos chilled exquisitely with the honey. We took some for leftovers and reheats great! The star was the pasta for sure. The black garganelli - squid ink pasta was so fresh, seafood cooked to perfection, all blends with the sauce. We also got the cavatelli - sausage, broccoli, topped with fresh ricotta. I'll definitely be back for pasta! read more

The pizza was delicious but small for the price. Was not in love with the fettuccini bolognese.

This is a wonderful restaurant!! We have not had a dish we did not like. They have a nice selection of wine as well and the bartender is great. The service is great and they will do anything to accommodate you. My kids also love it. It is a cozy ambiance with a rustic feel! read more

Quick pizza craving in the vicinity of RVC led me here. I actually had been meaning to try this place so this worked out perfectly. I Ordered the Salsiccia Pizza; all pies are individual sized pies. The crumbled sausage really make this pie. The sausage ig very flavorful and placed so that there's sausage in every bite. ( not sure if every pie is like this but mine seemed to be hope they stay consistently like this.) I shall return to try other pies. Have my eye on the Brussel sprouts pie. read more

Different experience to the takeout, better in person but I do think it's $$$ for okay food. Starting with the good the special fig pizza, well made and toppings distributed well. And service was good, felt tended to and meals came out well timed. The calamari and burrata dish wasn't great - the broth made the calamari soggy, there was no bright flavor and was overall a little bland despite the olives, and brocolli rabe. And the Chicken vodka pasta wasn't great either, dense, not exciting. read more

Came here with a group of friends and my boyfriend for dinner. We were craving pizza and decided to check this place out. I must say the prosciutto in one of the pizzas were not good at all. But the other pizza was pretty good, we had a regular Margherita pie. The truffle fries were the best part of our meal. My boyfriend did not enjoy the seafood platter one bit, it was cold and tasteless. The eggplant appetizer was pretty good except he was upset the "bread" was super hard croutons that you couldn't even bite into and when asked for regular bread, they just brought back the same thing. The customer service could definitely be improved. Definitely could've done without the pasta as the portion was not worth a penny, it was like a kid's size meal for a good amount. read more
