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

Vulcano 081 - This brick oven pizza was delicious - Pizza Near Me - Rockville Centre, New York

I was a little skeptical going in - as I have never been here before. Can I say how happy I was...The service was great - Jaime greeted me the first moment I walked in. He was warm and pleasant and checked on my party the whole time. The owner came over to introduce himself. You can really tell they value their customers. Food was great. I would highly recommend recommend. read more

Yes, amazing, stop by and enjoy. Warm and cozy decor which is perfect for date night. Unfortunately I'm alone on a 24 hour layover. I sat at the bar and was immediately greeted and helped with my selections. I went with the lamb risotto special along with the fra diavlo. Wonderful dishes and great value. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As someone who loves Neapolitan style pizza, I was happy to find Vulcano in RVC to fit my desire. Their pizzas are made traditional, fresh to order and in all your favorite classic styles. Their appetizers and other dishes are also very good and a great option when you're looking for a true Italian pizza! read more

Great pizza-making class! Thank you for a great birthday party for ten12 year-old boys. All of them had fun and loved the pizza!

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

We went on a Sunday and enjoyed a huge amount of really delicious food for a great price. The drinks were perfect, the caprese app and arugula salad are made of incredibly high quality ingredients, and the pizzas are in my opinion the best in Rockville Centre. Light, crispy crust, perfectly topped, outstanding flavor. The staff are truly nice and friendly, and they didn't rush us out. We tried the tiramisu which is also spectacular and unique, not super heavy but really light and delicious. Will definitely be going back very soon. Relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. read more

This place is an absolute gem!! The pizza and calzone is to die for! Adrian is the absolute best, he is so attentive and caring!

I've been on the lookout for really good neopolitan style pizza nearby, and this place definitely hit the spot! It was very on-par to restaurants I've been to in nyc and I would definitely come back. I got the diavola pizza and my friend got the crudo pizza, and both were very tasty! Fresh out of the brick oven, the crust was perfectly charred and slightly crispy on the bottom. Mine had a good level of spice to it, and was very filling. Looking forward to coming back to try some other pizzas on the menu, there were lots of options! read more

I had a great experience at Vulcano 081. The ambiance was very nice and classy, good for a date. Our server was attentive and quick. The wine menu has quite a variety, I was impressed. For our appetizer, we got the potato croquettes which were really good. I was dipping everything in the sauce that comes with it. Then we did one white and one red pizza. For white, we got the the RVC pizza. It was good but there could have been a little more flavor and I wish the prosciutto was cut smaller. The Salsiccia pizza, on the other hand, had great flavor. Both pizzas were cooked perfectly; crusts had just the right amount of crunch. Overall, I enjoyed my dinner here and would definitely come back. read more

We went for lunch today, a Saturday. Just looking at the place from the outside looks like a regular pizza place. When you walk in I was pleasantly surprised! It's a super cute trattoria vibe kind of place. They have a lunch special that is only for the weekdays which was a bummer but I understand it. We got a Bianca and a Margherita pizza. They are personal size but you could easily split one between two people. Our service was MIA. They had 1 server with every table in the front including the bar full. He had no personality but he also wasn't rude so it is what it is. I had half a pizza to take home. He asked the buster to wrap it up and after we paid I was still waiting for it to come. Took forever to get the check. I asked where it was and he totally forgot the box in the kitchen. Service wasn't horrible but def lacked personality. There was no one at the front when we left. Overall I'd go back! The pizza was super good and I can't wait to eat the leftovers. Next time is try the pasta since the service told us all of the pizza dough is imported from Italy and the pasta is handmade. My suggestion would definitely be to get another server for a Saturday lunch rush. read more
