A little disappointed in this place having such great reviews from other patrons. The waitstaff was friendly and helpful, but... the food fell short in many ways. The veal meatball appetizer was bland, and only tasted of soggy breadcrumbs. There was also nocolor on the meat, as if the meatballs were boiled and then tossed with a garlic butter sauce (which was very thin and didn’treally taste of anything - makes me believe it was diluted with water). The pasta bolognese wasn’t really a bolognese sauce byany stretch of the imagination. It was bright red instead of a muted brown-ish color it typically is. There was no trace of asoffrito (carrot, celery, garlic) either visually or in flavor profile. And the few traces of meat were just gray and notflavorful. I hate to say it, but seems to me like it was jarred marinara sauce with crumbled veal meatballs mixed in. Thespaghetti with shrimp and zucchini was fine. Not much of a composed dish - it was really just spaghetti, shrimp, zucchini, andtomato sauce thrown together. Finally: salt, salt, salt! They really should be using more of it. I’d give fewer stars, but wehad no complaints with the pollo limone, and as for everything else I’m going to assume the kitchen had an off night. Read more
Small treasure of downtown Huntington! Delicious, free items on the menu that are beautifully prepared and served in a cozy,... but gorgeous space. Servers were excellent and recommend a cappuccino and flan for dessert. Reservations highly recommend onthe weekend as this place fills up quick. Read more
I wish I could rate zero. We went for lunch, the place was almost empty. The food came so fast to the table that we could... believe, it was like out of a can directly to the plate, it was pricey and extremely bad quality. Italian restaurants are famousfor being the best. It was not what we expected. What an ugly experience. Would never recommend it. There are very good Italianplaces in Huntington village. Actually most of the restaurants in the area are great. They should do a better job and not justmake people spend their time and money in such a rip off... 12 mussels in a bowl with unflavored broth for $16. Please do notorder it if you ever try this place ... better don't go to that place. Read more
Great wine list! Pretty diverse with wines from Long Island all the way to hidden gems of Italy. The mussels are just amazing!... We had the risotto with scallops and loved how all dente it was and the vegetables on it were amazing! I am so happy that Ifound such a cute spot in Huntington. Loved the outdoor seating and service was great . Read more
Took my wife out for the first date night in a while. She has a sensitivity to gluten so it’s tough to find a solid restaurant... that has a good selection of gf items on the menu. Turns out most or all of their menu is naturally gluten free bc they usesemolina flour instead of flours that have gluten. Not only was the food amazing, the service was equally as good. We hadElizabeth - make sure you ask for her. You won’t be disappointed when you eat here. Great atmosphere too. We will be back forsure! Read more
My wife and I stopped here for dinner tonight and were very happy with our meal. For starters we had Polenta Con Funghi and... Arancini (riceballs). Both were delicious, and it would hard to chose which one was better. Our entrees were Sardinian Paellaand the Veal Florentine, each very good. The bread was excellent and they kept the basket full. Service was outstanding and therestaurant was very clean. I highly recommend this place. We chose wisely Read more
A little expensive and definitely European proportions. Very authentic and fresh. Excellent wine list and craft cocktails. ... Fun to sit at the bar and people watch! Read more
