I rarely write reviews but this experience demanded one. I’m not from the area. Friends on Long Island told me ahead of time that I chose a very well known, excellent restaurant. 1st time there. Ate in their Patio area dining hall. The food met my very high standards. Shared a few appies and other dishes, including a porterhouse (cooked successfully to a medium rare as requested and was able to get a nicely charred “crust”) and a chicken parm (on par with the very best I’ve had (I suspect that they use high quality tomatoes, possibly but not necessarily San Marzano, that they cook down to a very thick sauce, not a marinara preparation). The wine list is impressive for the depth, breadth and the extraordinarily fair prices….the 2017 Travaglini Gattinara Riserva that Ciro’s son recommended based on my preferences was $90 per bottle. I know Gattinaras well and this one was singing. Excellent. I had asked about a need for decanting and he said it’s excellent without. And he was spot on. Bravo! Another bravo deserved: per Wine-Searcher, the wine is currently available retail in the NYC Metro area for $72 retail, so the price at the restaurant is an amazing deal, and there are so many other wines on the list that are well priced. Wine aficionados like me take note (but please don’t decimate their cellar!!! Leave some for me!!). Excellent service and ambiance. Lucky is the person who gets to enjoy the fine, relaxed dining that they offer there. Casual OK.

Four of us for Dinner Sunday night. Noise level very high with graduations, birthdays, and other events. However, even with the high noise level, I would say the service was excellent. They work like a well oiled machine. The food was not consistent. Some dishes were excellent (Chicken Parm, Shrimp Francais, and Chicken Francais) while others ( House dressing with too many onions, Veal Milanese not fully cooked and Penne a la Vodka with a funny taste) Prices were reasonable. Overall, I recommend for Italian Dinner. I understand, the Pizza on the other side is excellent. A special praise for the Capellini and Cappuccino….Both excellent. Apple Crumb cobbler was fantastic

We were a party of 4 on fathers day. The food was very very good and very nice ambiance. The person who took our orders and was responsible for our table was terrific, his support staff seemed a bit overwhelmed. Any minor concern taken care of quickly. Will return for sure. Good value.

We visited on Father’s Day so it was naturally crowded and a bit noisy, but the service we received was exceptional. Everyone enjoyed their meals but my wife said her eggplant rolatini was undercooked. All of our meals were served together and the waiters were attentive and so polite! I would go back anytime. The cost was reasonable.
