Reviews for La Famiglia in Plainview, NY
Came in for dinner on a Thursday at 7:30pm, the place was pretty empty and we were seated right away. They had a party going on... in another room and they seemed to only have one waiter who was spread thin. Although the waiter was very nice when he came overto take our order we only wanted to order the appetizers and then later order the meal. He told us he would prefer to put theentire order in due to the party(which is not true because I was here once before and they forced us to do the same thing). Wedid not mind doing this but we were not even given a minute to look over the menu and talk about it, the waiter stood there andjust kept making suggestions(which is nice) and we had to decide on the spot. To start we order the Italian eggrolls, mozzarellasticks, and fried zucchini. All of these were absolutely delicious and if I had to choose the fried zucchini would definitelybe the winner. For dinner we order the large sizes of the penne vodka and the chicken sorretino. The portions were a nice sizeand fed 4 people, we even had some leftovers. The penne was just ok and I probably would not order it again. The chicken wasvery delicious and I would definitely recommend it. For dessert we had an Italian cheesecake which I normally do not care forbut this one was absolutely delicious and highly recommended. Follow on IG @food_surfin Read more
A good suburban eatery with a lively dining atmosphere. Food was better than okay but preparation short cuts diminished mouth... feel and flavors. Prices are fair. Service was attentive and crisp. Wine selections were adequate. Read more

If you're ready for a night out with delicious, good quality food, look no further! I had my mother and father in-law's surprise... 70th birthday party here and it was wonderful! Sal, the owner, was very kind and attentive from the start. He recommended somefamily style dishes and they were delicious. From the appetizers (fried calamari, baked clams, antipasto, and so much more) tothe main dishes and different types of pastas ?(rigatoni broccoli rabe and sausage, penne a la vodka, veal francese, filet ofsole oreganata, chicken and sausage), there were nothing but compliments from our family members and friends. Every dish wasamazing and flavorful! My wife and I can't wait to come back for a date night and try out the other appetizing food choices fromthe menu. You have to check this restaurant out! You won't be disappointed! We finally found an Italian restaurant near us thatwill be our "go to" place. Read more

My mom and sister recently hosted my bridal shower at La Famiglia in their newly renovated party room and it was amazing! The... room had a separate entrance and restroom. The staff, specifically Sal and Ian were very helpful, accommodating, attentive, andcommunicative with my family while they planned the party. The food was also wonderful ! We did a plated lunch/dinner withappetizers, pasta course, salad course, and choice of entrees. Additionally their sangrias were delicious and they offered otherdrinks too. Lastly, they offered cappuccinos and other drinks as well. Thank you for helping to make my day very special!! Read more
Just had our Engagement Celebration dinner here at Plainview location and everything was perfect! Groom's father is a chef and... said the food was "the best"- prepared the same way he would do it! We were not prepared for the large portions though and wishour waiter gave us more of a heads up as we were ordering way too much! Read more
