They do everything wonderfully (sandwiches, italian specialties, breakfast) and the place is spotless. Highly recommended.

There are a lot of pizzerias to choose from in Lindenhurst, but Spasso's is definitely the BEST. Their marinara sauce is a bit sweet (which I like), there is a liberal amount of ricotta on their white pizza, and their buffalo chicken pizza hits the spot! Seriously, you need not look any further for great pizza. Absolute favorite place.

I started going here often last year. I am addicted to this place. I used him for an amazing roast at Christmas. I pick up chicken meatballs for a quick spaghetti and meatballs often. The heros are amazing. The whole place is just too inviting. It's hard to get out of there without food you never thought you'd need. All amazing delicious fresh made foods. Ask about the Pizza Rustica. Be careful in there! You could drop quite a load of cash without trying!

We have been going to Mama's for over 25 years from when they were a single store front to now where they occupy 3 storefronts in the shopping center. The food has always been excellent which is why we return but they need to get past that Pizzeria mentality for the prices they charge and the silly add ons. One example is the salad they provide. It consists of iceberg lettuce, 1 wedge of tomato, about 3 slices of red onion and some carrot shreddings. There used to be a slice of cucumber but apparently that must add too much to the cost of the salad because it no longer comes. When you are charging between $25.00 and $30.00 on average for your dishes, you can do a little better on the salad. Their choice of dressings is also ridiculous. Nothing but varieties on italian dressing. Italian, creamy italian, oil and vinegar or balsamic vinagrette. Years ago they used to have bleu cheese and thousand island but I guess that was just too many to stock. Another pizzeria mentality practice is that they charge for soda refills. Virtually no restaurant (but many pizzerias) will charge you for a refill today. To me, that is nickel and diming. It has actually reduced the number of times we will go to Mamas. There are 3 of us and we all usually get a soft drink. My wife and son usually want a second drink. It just gets on my nerves for us to be charged for 5 sodas. It's not the money, its the principle. The owners/managers need to realize that even though they are busy, the lose business with these cheap antics. Get with today's times and discontinue this practice. I am sure we are not the only ones who are annoyed by this and some of there other silly behavior. With so much competition in the area, it is short sighted to do this to your customers. With that said, the food, while a bit more expensive than most Italian restaurants in the area, is very very good. Portion size is quite large and you will almost always have something to bring home. They also serve extremely fresh garlic knots which compliment the meal. Desserts and coffee were also very good although they charged me a dollar more for my dessert than it was listed on the menu for. I chose to let that one go. I also chose to drink water.Service wasn't bad but wasn't exceptional either. While we didn't require anything after he served our meals until we were done, he didn't check on us for quite a while and had there been something wrong, we would have waited a long time to get it addressed.Tony, we appreciate your honesty, and are very sorry to read that you have been disappointed lately with your experiences. It has always been a pleasure to serve you, and can assure you we take your concerns very seriously. If there is any way we can discuss your recent experience further, and invite you to give us a call if there is any way we can discuss your feedback in greater detail.

Ordered the skirt steak. Although cooked med rare as I requested, the flavor was very bland and lacking. The steak, potatoes and extremely small amount of green beans and carrots arrived room temperature. The steak was also tuff and required a lot of chewing. Left most of it on my plate. Husband ordered the flounder special. His dish arrived nice and hot but the sauce seperated and he felt ill after eating it. Bread with dipping oil was very good. Dinner for the both of us, with one stuff artichoke to share as an appetizer and one glass each of house wine ran us $85.00. BE AWARE, they round up to the nearest dollar the tax amount they charge on your bill. I'm not just talking pennies. We enjoyed the entertainer singing. He was pretty good.We will NOT be going back.

Iâve been coming here for thirty years. Still gets high marks for food and service. This is one of the best Italian joints in Lindenhurst. Itâs not obvious because itâs tucked away in the shopping center north of sunrise highway at wellwood ave. They have all the special slices and great heroes plus truly legitimate dinners in a very nice dinner room. Prices are better here than some of the more obvious choices.

Booked a reservation here based on a very strong recommendation from a Long Island friend. I am happy to say he was right on target and our visit here proved to be a wonderful dinner. I love when a restaurant cares about all parts of the meal - starting with the bread basket! Tremendous fresh and tasty artisanal loaf with EVOO and pepper mix. Very strong bar and cocktail libations. Home made Bucatini with Short Rib Ragu ( more meat than sauce!) ending with great desert assortment! Our waiter added to the strength of our visit here. The ONLY Negative is the parking situation here. The lot is far from the front door and those with a hard time walking may find this an unexpected and unpleasant challenge!
