About this restaurant

Romantic
Neighborhood gem
Innovative

When the pandemic hit and we had to close and re-think our business, we decided to convert its large dining room into a food market to meet the needs of the community’s new dining habits. While the restaurant will continue to have a dining area with prepared food, the food market will be an extension of the kitchen which is the hub of the restaurant. The market is now open, and its shelves and bins, refrigerators and freezer are well-stocked with prepared Italian specialty dishes as well as fine imported ingredients that customers can take home to prepare food themselves...these are the same ingredients used by Chef Dennis in the kitchen to prepare the restaurant’s meals and include everything from antipasti to desserts as well as sauces, salads and soups, pasta, beans and rice, cheeses and meats, wines and sodas and a whole lot more. All this so that members of our community and beyond can prepare and enjoy Pentimento’s meals exactly as they are served in the restaurant.

It is unfortunate that Pentimento is now permanently closed after 27 years in Stony Brook because of a lease dispute. Very sad....

Best restaurant in Stony Brook. Gloria Rocchio should be removed from the WMHO board and Eagle realty for not renewing their lease.

It is a shame that Pentimento will be closing for good this weekend. Their lease was not renewed, after more than 20 years. It was always a wonderful restaurant. It will be greatly missed.

Pentimento is great! Shame on the Ward Melville Foundation and the chair person, Gloria, for not doing everything in their and her power to keep this neighborhood gem open - we don't need another glorified fast food "joint" in its place. Negotiate a new lease ASAP! Save Pentimento!!!!!!
