Yesterday was our first time at the restaurant. We didn’t have a reservation, but they were able to squeeze us in right away. We had the calamari Arrabiata, which was delicious. We had the crispy artichoke salad, which was also amazing. For a main course we had Cacio de Pepe. The owner came over to our table and recommended we had a pasta dish because they are all made on the premises. The waiter recommended Cacho de Pepe and it was a 10 out of 10.

This was SO good. Everything was so good, from the bread/olives… the amazing artichoke salad (best I ever had so far), and the delicious pastas. After moving to the island, it was hard to find non-American Italian restaurants, had this on my list and I was glad that I was able to go! Def will be coming back soon! Service was great and very homey/comfort. It is a very small place and they do say it’s an 2hr dining so be mentally ready.

This authentic Italian restaurant is a true gem! From the moment you walk in, you can tell everything is thoughtfully prepared and made with care. One of the highlights is definitely the homemade pasta — it’s perfectly chewy, full of flavor, and you can taste the difference in every bite. It’s the kind of pasta that makes you slow down and savor. Our family dined upstairs, and we appreciated that the second floor is accessible with an elevator — a nice touch for families or anyone who needs it. The space was cozy yet elegant, perfect for a relaxed meal or a special night out. We started with the zucchini calamari fries and the chopped salad. Both were fresh and flavorful, and the zucchini calamari fries were a fun twist on a classic appetizer — crispy, light, and not greasy at all. The chopped salad was a great balance to the richness of the meal. The standout dish for us was the Rigatoni Rocco. It was exceptionally good — rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. It’s the kind of dish you think about long after the meal is over. We left full, happy, and already talking about when we’ll be back. Highly recommend this spot for anyone who loves real Italian cooking!

Alessandro's is hands-down the best Italian restaurant in NY. The homemade pastas are incredible-fresh, authentic, and give you a real taste of Italy. Every dish on the menu is excellent, from the meats and seafood to the wide variety of appetizers. The quality is consistently top-notch, the flavors are rich and traditional, and the portions are generous. The drinks and wine selection are also fantastic. If you're looking for a true Italian dining experience, Alessandro's is the place. This was my 3rd time dining here and can't wait to return. Highly recommend!

5 stars all the way. Excellent Calamari Arrabiata, Black Linguine Feutti Di Mare. Dessert is very good as well. A regular visit restaurant. Suggest to go there super early like 5:30pm 6pm to avoid long waiting online. Good restaurant usually has long wait time.

Where do I start? We were assisted with making a reservation for 6 over the phone. The staff are very attentive. They constantly refill water cups, refill bread and ask if anything is needed. They are polite and respectful. They even cracked a few jokes with us! The owner Alessandro is a gentleman and takes the time to greet people too. The food was delicious (I got a Parmigiana) and it was a huge portion of chicken! I was really surprised to get so much for the price. The sauce was perfect and the food really pleases that thirst for flavor. My favorite part was the dessert! (I am biased here lol) We got the Tiramisu and the Souffle. (See image) It was soooooooo good! I will definitely return and recommend Alessandro's Italian to my friends and coworkers.

Great experience at Alessandro's! We stopped in on a busy Sunday night without a reservation. The hostess, Iris, was so kind and made recommendations while we waited with a drink to sit at the bar. Once we sat we were helped by Robert and Jose, who were equally accommodating. We started with the artichoke salad appetizer, which was incredible and perfectly balanced with the grilled vegetables and goat cheese. We also tried the eggplant appetizer, equally delicious. For entrees, my husband had the bucatini carbonara- which was creamy, smoky, and full of flavor! One of the few places that make it the traditional way with guanciale and egg yolk and NO cream. I had the tagliatelle bolognese, the pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce rich and flavorful. Topped with a heaping scoop of freshly grated Parmesan. Would absolutely order all of these dishes again! We were also eager to try the tiramisu for dessert, which was recommended, but were too stuffed! Will definitely be back! I also saw that they have homemade gluten free pasta, which I didn't not try but definitely sent to a friend who is gluten free!

We had an amazing dinner at Sandro's Italian in Manhasset. The MOZZARELLA IN CARROZZA with spicy Vodka sauce was great. CALAMARI ARRABIATA was nicely spiced aggressively but not overwhelming. BUCATINI & CLAMS , house-made pasts with fresh clams, nice combination of beautiful olive oil and butter to give it that texture you get in Rome. Speaking of Rome the Roman classic BUCATINI CARBONARA was executed perfect !! Guanciale was crispy and delicious with nicely fond egg, pepper and cheese sauce. Cannoli was house made crispy shell and delicious filling ! Service was friendly and competent. Overall an experience worth repeating !! Updated 062824 Sandro’s is going strong and still putting out first quality Italian food. Fresh pastas are a well above the local competition as well as the quality fish and meat choices. Tonight I tried something different a On the bone pounded veal cutlet with a spicy vodka sauce and mozzarella with a side of delicious pasta. Our usual Spiedini alla Romana and Calamari were great.

Our first time here and our meal was superb! For appetizers we had the grilled artichokes. Stuffed clams. Beet salad and calamari. One was better then the next! The salad and the artichokes were prepared with the most amazing burrata cheese! Our pasta dishes were also excellent! Pepe and caccio was my favorite. Dinner entrees were plentiful and also very flavorful! Even though we were overstuffed, we had to have the apple d sweet and gelato! The staff as very attentive and friendly. Sandro was a pleasure to meet and takes very good care of you! Make a reservation ASAP!

Cozy Italian neighborhood restaurant with excellent food. The owner greeted us and checked up multiple times which is rare these days. We had the pappardelle with wild mushroom this one best pasta dishes I have ever eaten. The bone in veal chop was delicious and cooked perfectly. Will be coming back for sure.
