Q:
Any vegan options?
A:
They do not have a "vegan" menu but there are pasta dishes that are vegan. They also make a marinara pizza which I am pretty sure has not cheese on it. But this place is very accommodating and all is made fresh so I'm sure that they can make… more

Been there several times, always good food and service. However last night they started sweeping and washing floors at 7:50 p.m- while we were still having our dinner. Not very nice! Place does not close until 10:00 pm! Definitely felt rushed out.

Pasta- ria pizza
And restaurant in Hicksville next to Staples and near Bagel boss. Is a family casual place to order out or eat in. The chicken special was ample with rice. Breads served at table with pats of butter. Waiters were pleasant and considerate. The cheese was tasty. Took some time to get refill on drinks. I'd given the boss/ manager a happy birthday sign and candle which waiter put on the cake and took a pix.of us upon request. I thought the 3 wine barrels on the wall with the littlest bit of greens was a nice holiday touch. We all have our different favorites but this was a close place to stop in for a meal.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Apr 20, 2020Previous reviewPasta-eria - open for take out. Right near Staples.Pleasant people. Food is made fresh while you wait. Good Fish franchise. So, why not 5 stars, you ask?
I asked if they have angel hair spaghetti and I was told yes. I asked for that in my order. Alas, once again, there was a lack of communication, I got regular spaghetti. Ok, so its not like I can't eat it. BUT! - 15194296Jan 14, 2024Updated review
We absolutely love this place. We have been coming here for so long and they never disappointed us. on The Black Sea bass was outstanding and I had the pork ork chops with pepper's and onions and cherry peppers was incredible. I would highly recommend giving this local gem a shot and make up your own minds...

Noel is simply one of the nicest, kindest, friendliest waiters we have ever met. We have never had a waiter or waitress there that disappointed us. As far as the food goes we have moved through a pretty good size of the menu (previously updated) and have never once had a bad meal here. Always creative and the chef is willing to make changes to suit your family needs. The dining room has been recently renovated and is quite classy. Always super busy here on Friday and Saturdays so definitely plan ahead by making a reservation unless you don't mind a bit of a wait. I do so appreciate ordering a nice glass of cabernet with dinner and having it come three quarters of the way filled in a pasteria etched glass (some other places only fill 1/2). The prices are so reasonable for the quality and quantity of good food you receive. From appetizers to biscotti there is nothing negative I could possibly say about this fine Italian style restaurant nestled into a neighborhood pizzeria. Speaking of pizza the variety is tremendous, the dough is incredible, the sauce amazing so come down sometime and give them a try and please leave your own review as well.

Terrible. I ordered a small grilled chicken Caesar salad to go. They're not kidding when they say small. It's TINY. Doesn't stop them from charging almost 17 bucks for it, though. As I was leaving and paid already, I took a peek inside and saw that the chicken was laying on top of the salad without dressing, so I asked for a side of dressing for the chicken. The guy with the scruffy beard rudely says, "we charge for dressing." I said "this was $17... you're going to charge me even more?" He says, "yup... Eighty cents." I looked at him thinking he would just say, "Never mind the charge" and hand me a dressing, but nope, so I left without one. Then I get to work and open my salad and the chicken is burnt. Looks burnt, tastes burnt, dried out. How dare they charge this much and pass this off to their customers?! I called to tell them, and without even apology, he tells me, "Well, I can give you credit, but you have to bring the food in. That's our policy." I said, " I want my money back." He said, "yeah, but our policy is you have to bring it back." I said fine. Now I have no lunch and have to drive back there to get my money back... What a bust! I've been going here since I was a kid, but I doubt they'll be in business much longer with their terrible customer service and ridiculous non-customer-friendly "policies" that will drive many customers away.

I have been coming to this place for over 25 years(god has it been that long?!). They have consistently been THE BEST PIZZA, on Long Island I have ever eaten. Maybe even the country. The regular and Sicilian pies are great but if you want to get to another level try the, in this order, The Grandpa, The Marinara and The Grandma. I'm sure the others are great but after eating on of each I'm done! Ready to explode!! Many if the pasta dishes are made with home made pasta and I've never had a bad one. I moved away fifteen years ago to the Hudson Valley - about 90 minutes away but whenever I am on LI I will detour to 1- have a couple of slices and 2 bring several slices home. Mike the owner is a friendly guy who still recognizes me whenever I walk through the door. The have two other places that are great also but this is still my favorite pizza/pasta restaurant if all time !!

Was visiting family on Long Island and met a friend for dinner. I had not been there in a very long time and was glad to see it was still good and the prices were reasonable. I had the veal parmigiana and I have to say the portion was very large.

Let's start with the Homemade Rigatoni Napoletana. That's what motivated me to write this review.
It's really, really good. I've gotten it many times, and it has never disappointed. The pink tomato sauce is really great. It's got a great flavor. Somehow it is both flavorful and light. The cheese is fresh. The pasta is fresh. That's really my favorite part. You can really taste the freshness of the pasta. The pasta is cooked properly al dante. This time I got whole wheat pasta and I actually liked it more than the normal pasta. It had a bit more of a nutty flavor. Just a hint. That little hint was nice. And it of course comes out warm. I'm not really sure how to describe it, but it's just a really great dish.
My girlfriend got the Sienna Risotto and I tried a couple of bites. It was my first time trying risotto so it's hard for me to comment too much, but I really enjoyed the grains of rice. I thought the texture was spot on. And the dish had a nice flavor to it. However, I thought it was way too salty, and that kinda ruined it for me.
Growing up on Long Island, I've actually come here dozens of times. It was always one of my favorite places for a slice of pizza. Maybe the favorite. So I had to get a slice of pizza with my meal as well. It actually wasn't a great slice. Didn't taste very fresh, and the dough was a little hard. I remember a few times visiting home recently I've had a similar experience. But growing up I remember it being great. I'm not sure if it's changed since then or if I've just had a little bad luck.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Sal S.Queens, Queens, NY312920Jul 1, 2023
I was with my family that has been here before and raves about the food and staff. We were served by Noel. He is really an amazing server and clearly loves his job. He made the evening even better. The food was good. I got the chicken Sinatra and it's very good. The portions are very large I could only eat half and took the other half home. I will definitely be back. You would never know there was a restaurant with a nice ambiance from the look of the entrance which is a pizza place.
