Cafe Continental

I first came to Café Continental 52 years ago when I was a little kid. Had an incredible dinner there last night. Great service. Delicious food. Huge menu full of so many options. I can’t wait to return and plan on being a regular customer.

Absolutely amazing. What more is there to say? We were greeted by the Maitre D', James, who treated us like family. Our waiter, Robert, went above and beyond with the service he provided us. The food is beyond DELICIOUS. An overall exceptional dining experience. Recommend without any doubts.

Always a solid authentic Italian meal. Never rushed with attentive staff

Beautiful ambiance, cozy atmosphere. Authentic homemade Italian food all freshly made . Just fabulous and the staff was impeccable. Robert our Waitor is fabulous too. My family and I will be back.

Everything we had was incredible, and the service was outstanding. Both servers were also very kind and considerate of my toddler, which was huge for us. Every single dish, from the burrata to the handmade pappardelle, was fantastic. Can't wait to go back!

Everything is phenomenal about Cafe Continental. Cafe Continental in Manhasset, NY, is a hidden gem that brings the flavors of Italy to life in the heart of the community. My recent dining experience at this charming Italian restaurant left me thoroughly impressed and eager to share my positive review. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with a warm and inviting ambiance that instantly set the tone for a delightful evening. The rustic decor and cozy atmosphere created the perfect backdrop for an authentic Italian dining experience. The star of the show, however, was undoubtedly the culinary delights served at Cafe Continental. Each dish was a masterpiece of flavors, showcasing the chef's dedication to using fresh, high-quality ingredients. From pasta to seafood, every bite was a journey through the rich and diverse palette of Italian cuisine. What truly elevated my experience was the impeccable service provided by the staff, and I must highlight the extraordinary skills of the bartender, Peter. His expertise in crafting cocktails was nothing short of magnificent. The attention to detail, creativity, and passion he put into each drink were evident in every sip. Peter's friendly demeanor and willingness to customize drinks based on preferences made the evening even more enjoyable. The staff at Cafe Continental demonstrated a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction, making sure every aspect of our dining experience exceeded expectations. The combination of delicious food, inviting ambiance, and outstanding service, especially from the talented bartender Peter, makes Cafe Continental a standout choice for anyone seeking an authentic Italian dining experience in Manhasset, NY.

A neighborhood gem, the food has always been great, Doesn't really matter what you order, you're going to get a great appetizer or entree. And the pour is always heavy 😉. The service is always warm and welcoming.

Clara Rumore

For a great Italian meal, go to Cafe Continental. Their service is exceptional and the food is delicious. I’ve been coming here for years! Perfect place to go for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations or date night! Located on Norther Blvd. next door to the Barnes and Nobles in Manhasset! Ask for Robert, as he is the head waiter and he’ll describe the succulent specials for the night!! You won’t be disappointed!!! John Brady/KW

Dinner was excellent, the appetizers were outstanding, main courses very tasty, drinks generous, service good. My only criticism is it can get noisy. Very warm and friendly atmosphere.

Would have been nice to be given a wine menu or offered a glass of wine. Table of 7 women had to ask a waiter who wasn't our waiter for a menu and when given the specials was told came with vegetables and potatoes,to find out it did not and then charged for them as a side. Food portions were good and tasty.

Hidden down quite a bit of stairs is a tucked away, pretty small, dark restaurant. Food was good - We started with the baked clams, which were a bit charred but delicious nonetheless. For my main I had linguine with clams (couldn’t get enough clams, clearly). The pasta dish was phenomenal - loaded with clams and garlic. We finished our meal with the NY style cheesecake (not on the menu) which we could’ve done without…Not the best but not the worst. Our waiter was lovely and knowledgeable, said he’s been working there for 20+ years. Feel as though I should note it would be very difficult for a physically disabled person to enter this establishment.

We heard a lot about this place and made reservations for dinner. The place was really busy and quite loud. We had some trouble getting service. It seemed as though the regular customers were getting all the attention. We really began to feel like we were intruding. Not a comfortable feeling. The service we did receive was indifferent and not friendly. Maybe Cafe Continental has all the customers it needs and they are not accepting new ones.
