Great Neighborhood Italian Resturant. Great food, the Calamari appetizer was great, Rigatoni Ala Vodka was superb, and so was the Veal. Excellent service from a writer who o viously knew the menu well.

Been a customer for about a year since moving to town. Legit best service in E northport. Food is always incredible whether you dine in or take out. Everyone is always super friendly and happy to be there. Old school vibe. Must check this place out. True hidden gem.

My favorite Italian restaurant on the Island. The staff is super friendly and accommodating and the food is to die for! Frank, the owner and chef, is an absolute culinary magician. You must try the La Vallini sauce, which comes with the fried Calamari. I would strongly recommend that you also try the chicken wings (dry seasoned to perfection), the seafood salad, the seafood croquettas, the Veal Scaparellla, and Veal Milanesa. The Chicken Parmigiana and Chicken Marsala are also very solid.

Excellent food and service. I cannot thank the owner Frank and his son enough for being very accommodating for our party. If you are looking to host a party or a nice dinner with friends and family this is your place! The food was beyond delicious, penne all a vodka was on another level.

I must say to see the owner spend most of his time in the kitchen to cook & to supervise the kitchen is impressive, to be sure your food is cooked to perfection is a rear thing to see in other restaurants. Love the clams in the picture. I ask for the largest cherrystones that they have. A lot of great dishes on the menu and on the specials board. Portions are family style and large. Enjoy!

Great old school atmosphere and delicious Food! Lucas was our server he was so nice and very helpful in selections regarding the food & family style portions. We Will be back to try some more dishes! The chicken parm was generously portioned and very tender..good dish, we added and extra cutlet but we’re too full to eat it all. The vodka sauce is simply amazing! It’s done right, Al Dente too..Try it with penne you will not be disappointed. A

Classic New York Italian food at its best. Had the linguine with white clam sauce which was to die for, however, their linguine with a simple tomato sauce was beyond delicious.
