"We are just so pleased to have this place in Great Neck. The diverse menu, with everything from pizza to paella, is nicely done. My salmon was terrific, sides were great, and portions are large. Prices were more than reasonable. I know we'll keep going back."

"This is a fabulous new addition to northern blvd. the ambiance is fantastic and the food is even better. we enjoyed a fabulous birthday dinner with another couple and enjoyed many courses including the meat and cheese board, mussells, baked clams, parpadelle pasta ( a MUST TRY) and some of the entrees each person had were the scallops, the shirmp conagc and the steaks which, compared to the steaks located in the surrounding resturants are definatly up to par. This is a beautiful restuarnt and we will be back. Looking forward to trying the bar menu!"

"420 North is my new favorite restaurant on Long Island. It has a great location where my friends and family love meeting during the week or on the weekends. The menu is fresh and unlike your traditional italian menu it has a mix of modern Italian and American cusine with a variety for everyone. Even the kids can join us and order brick oven pizza, which they love! Each time I have gone the service has been excellent from the hostess, waitors and bus boys. We've even met the chef and you can see him and his staff working hard in the kitchen while you dine, which is something you dont see evryday. 420 North is definitely a must try!"

"The service and the food was not good. We were four people, and they served the food for three people and the fourth dish came later, and then it had to go back as it was not done right. The bread was not good and was not served enough.

The quality of the food is very average,and the side dishes not so great, and were not served warm."

"This was our first time there & we will definitely be back. The preparation of the pecan crusted tilapia was excellent because it was not breaded. Unfortunately one of the four dinners was much delayed so I don't think the other couple with us will come back."

"This was our second visit. 1st was not crowded, so quiet and delicious. 2nd, so noisy we couldn't hear each other. Food is wonderful, especially those pizzas. Could eat them all day. Service was just ok and found our waiter to be alittle rude. When asked for my delayed drink, he gave me attitude. My friend also sat with hot water and no teabag for a good 10 minutes, and again attitude when asked for her teabag.. I cannot expect no noise in a crowded restaurant, but just for your info, I was very put upon when we saw the bill, and realized that we were charged extra for having ice in some of our drinks, and others with the same liquor, having no ice. VeryTacky. Overall, I loved the food, but there are other great restaurants out there."

"We shared a Caesar salad and pizza to start. The salad was good but the pizza sauce was bland. I had the skirt steak and it was good but the sides were skimpy. Someone ordered the filet mignon and it came out rare instead of medium. He sent it back and it took an extremely long time to retun, we were all done with our meal and then it was well done - too late to send it back, we were all done. We did not order dessert being unhappy with our meal. The need to step it up to survive."

"The food was excellent and the service was great. It was quaint and I absolutely love the Great Neck area. The prices are reasonable. If they are still offering it, you must try the meat Lasagna. It was excellent. The only problem I experienced was the amount of noise found between the dining and bar areas. While attending on a Sunday night, I could hear a gentleman at the bar laughing very loud while watching the TV. It was distracting and annoying at best. It was prior to closing and there were limited people in attendance, so I guess this is why the laughing resonated throughout the dining room. Other than that, it was a great find. Thank you Open Table! I would definitely go back and recommend to others."

"Aviator pizza was okay
I had the Long Island duck breast which was pretty good but the side risotto was not good at all.
I tried my fiance's skirt steak which was excellent!

Maitre d asked me how my Amstel Light was for some odd reason and then asked why the food was taking so long. He was nice just a bit arduous."

"The food, service and atmosphere made my dinner at 420 North a very enjoyable experience. The food is delicious and the servings are to right size. Too often a restaurant will fill your plate with starches and overload you with bread. We had appetizers, the main course, dessert, drinks and coffee. Most importantly, everything was enjoyable and I left feeling satisfied not stuffed.

The staff is very attentive and courteous. The owner, who happens to resemble Richard Gere, personally comes over to say hello BUT in a non-intrusive manner. He is gracious and cordial and makes you feel welcome.
