We had cheeseburger, house salad, and minestrone soup late night at this Italian restaurant. We usually have chicken or pasta dishes and this was a pleasant surprise. Service is always friendly. This is truly a winner. We go here often.

I've eaten lunch here a couple of times, and have had their lunchboxes during university functions numerous times. I'm always disappointed when we get lunch from somewhere else! A classic deli, with delicious roast-beef sandwiches. Nothing fancy, just excellent quality. Highly recommended--esp. for Stony Brook departments looking for catering!

The interior space is modern and inviting. The decor is very upscale. The food is standard Italian fare. Red sauce in a modern setting. Lots of mozzarella topping everything. Rude staff. Our server missed the glass pouring water and left a puddle on the table. Any request such as a towel to blot up the water or for red pepper were met with looks of disdain. The pizza was commendable. Napoleon eggplant drowning in cheese and sauce was overwhelming.

Havenât dined in or out since this restaurant changed hands years ago. I must say the renovation and decor is top notch. On this occasion we ordered takeout as its the closest Italian Restaurant to our home , just 1.5 miles away which means we could be steady customers even during those slow months of the year. At first glance the menu seems a little over priced but my initial thought was âif its really good than its worth it -better be anywayâ we kept it simple and called in an order for linguini and Meatballs which was close to 14 dollars and a Veal parmigiana hero at a whopping 14.75. Again I figured at 14.75 maybe it will be the best hero Iâve ever eaten so I went with it. It wasnât. First negative it was big on bread and small on veal and very little cheese. It tasted fine and the veal which was pounded very thin ,was tender , as expected after a beating with a meat tenderizer.There was just so little veal and cheese. Plenty of sauce on the fresh hero roll which definitely could use some oven crisping to give relief to its soggy stature.The linguini with meatballs was a much better choice and could probably feed two people with the bread included and 4 meatballs, yet it was priced less than the hero. Definitely odd.The meatballs were very good and the pasta was drained of any excess water , a big plus in my book.I hate to complain about price but for 5 dollars less the same hero can be had a short drive away and is a very comparable substitution. A family of 4 saves 20 dollars if theyâre all eating the same hero nearby. Food for thought and the wallet.One additional observation . When we called in the order I asked specifically if I could get get a side of grated cheese with the order. It proved to be a difficult question for the order taker on the other end of the line. Quite frankly she had no idea what I was talking about and eventually said âI dont know if itâs extra â . I did learn she was new on the job when I arrived so Iâll cut her some slack as she was very nice ,but management needs to train people that are going to be the first customer contact properly and thoroughly. Greeters and phone people can make or break a first impression . Put your best foot forward in this department. Canât say well rush back as it was $32 for a hero and a plate of pasta and meatballs but perhaps another visit for a special occasion , just not weeknight takeout. Perhaps thatâs the business model but i doubt it. Pictured - the hero .... but it really wasnât my hero this evening

We visited Ruvo during Long Island Restaurant week because they listed a variety of menu offerings, unlike some restaurants where the offerings are few and predictable. We were not disappointed. From the steamed mussels appetizer, to a flounder and shrimp oreganata, to a berry crumble topped with ice cream - it was all delicious. (And the martinis and coffee were perfect, too). My review would not be complete without a tip of the hat to our server, Sadie, who was gracious and attentive. We will be going back.
