    Foodie Alert! Just experienced an incredible Italian feast at @DanicolaRestaurant! 🇮🇹🍝 From start to finish, the meal was a delight! We kicked things off with their Fried Calamari Arabiatta 🌶️ – perfectly crispy with a delicious little kick from the arrabiata sauce. So good! The salads were fresh and flavorful. The Caesar Salad was a classic done right, and the Caprese Salad with juicy tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and sweet roasted peppers was a standout. Highly recommend! For the main event, we sampled a fantastic array of dishes: The Seafood Linguine was bursting with fresh flavors and plenty of seafood. 🤤 The Shrimp and Chicken Italiano was an absolute winner! Tender shrimp and chicken served with perfectly cooked vegetables. So satisfying! The Chicken Marsala was rich and flavorful, with the mushrooms and Marsala wine sauce complementing the chicken beautifully. Another amazing dish! You can't go wrong with their classic Chicken Parmigiana served with penne. It was exactly what you want in a comforting Italian meal – cheesy, saucy, and delicious! And for something a little different, we tried their Philly Cheesesteak – and it had a surprisingly delicious Italian twist! The fries were great too. Overall, @DanicolaRestaurant is a must-try for anyone craving authentic and delicious Italian food. The service was great, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. ✨ 📍 Check them out at 1203 Broadway, Hewlett, NY 11557 #ItalianFood #NYCFoodie #LongIslandEats #RestaurantReview #FoodPhotography #PastaLover #ChickenMarsala #Calamari #CapreseSalad #PhillyCheesesteak #Delicious #FoodGram #Influencer #DanicolaRestaurant #DinnerGoals

    The food was great. The waiter was the sweated lady. The only thing is that it is too loud for me. But others enjoyed it.

    I hadn’t been here in quite some time. Went for dinner with an old friend. Everything was great. The Pasta Fagiol was outstanding. My Veal Parm was excellent. I will be back soon.

    Always amazing food at this jewel of a restaurant. We came here to celebrate my husbands birthday and everything was so delicious! Donna is so amazing, I don't know how she remembers all the specials which are plenty and she is on top of your order and makes you feel like you are a VIP. Best dinner ever! My guests loved everything!
