We couldnât find anything that suited our dietary needs. I asked the bartender if we could just get some fettuccini Alfredo, nothing else, no chicken, shrimp or anything. He said âsure, this is an Italian restaurant, we will make you what you want, your way, would you like to split the order? I said that would be great. Within 10 minutes he returned with the most delicious fettuccini Alfredo I can recall. The pasta was homemade and it was a most enjoyable, reasonably priced lunch I recall. Nice job! Kudos!

It seems every time I visit or call Martino's, the prices go up and you get an attitude. Their pizza is different: Thick, heavy but very tasty. Their Antipasta de la Casa for 2 is good but inconsistent and the price has now gone up, but it is now $16.95. It says artichoke hearts and recent order there were none. I called the owner and hardly an apology. "No, no, no - we don't make those mistakes." I told him you did and if you can't at least apologize I simply won't order from you anymore. He said "the next time you call I'll make it up to you" and passed the phone to a counter person. In person, I asked about garlic knots that just came out. Menu says $2.50 and I was told $3.50 for 6. I told the guy quite frankly: "Your prices are very high." He gave me an attitude saying: Not a $0.25 above anyone else in the area." Nonsense. He made a mistake as the menu says $2.50. That is still $0.75 more than Prince Umberto's. They had these flat Stromboli like sides that were similar to a chicken roll but flat. Not very big. $6.95. I got one slice and won't be back. No appreciation for customers.

My family loved this place. The veal dishes, fresh seafood, even the veggies were great! We always get fried zucchini, fried calamari, seafood salad and either a veal, chicken or fish dish. All have been outstanding. Even their desserts like tortoni, tiramisu, are terrific. This is an outstanding casual place for families to enjoy...try it!

Poppy's is a great and very popular neighborhood Italian restaurant. At times there can be quite a wait (but well worth it). The service and staff are friendly and efficient. The garlic bread, eggplant Parmesan and lasagne were delicious. Surprisingly, the bread was ordinary, not especially fresh and was not warm. The salads were generous portions and had just the right amount of dressing. Satisfying meal!

Went with a friend visiting from Rome for lunch. We had arancine (rice balls) for appetizer....as delicious as those I had eaten in Italy.....and a Margherita pizza. which was absolutely fabulous....together with a delicious glass of chianti. I recommend Carmella's whenever you are in the area.***The pizzeria is on one side....a lovely restaurant, which opens later in the day, on the other

This is an old, family owned Italian restaurant. It is a mainstay of the area.

The food at Stellaâs is always the best quality and taste. Consistently outstanding appetizers, entrees and desserts made fresh by a wonderful pastry chef. The Cerrone family cares for the restaurant with their heart and soul. Have gone there for regular evenings and special occasions and the staff is always professional and courteous and warm. I cannot say enough about this restaurant and just recommend that you try it!!

Read about this pizza joint in Newsday and am thrilled we gave it a try -- and we will be back. We ordered the Crudo and Bosco pizzas and both were delicious. Next time we will order the small rather than large, in order to have smaller, crisper pieces.On Friday night the dozen tables were full and turning over fairly quickly.

There's nothing special about this place....just an average "red-sauce" Italian restaurant. The food is good but not memorable, the decor is typical "Mediterranean"....th service was very attentive...the manager/owner was extremely ;personable...the prices were fair and reasonable, the wine list extensive.

We live in Las Vegas and it is hard to find New York style Italian food so when we visit we have Italian. We order things we can't get in Vegas like Baked claims which were delicious. The bread was fresh and wonderful. My husband and I both had veal francese and it did not disappoint. The only downside to this place was that it was SOOOO NOISY
