I’d been driving past this restaurant for 14 years while living on Long Island and always wanted to try it, but never got around to it while living on the island. But tonight, when visiting a dear friend in the area; I suggested it and they had said that they’d actually been there once before for dinner years ago and had a pleasant experience. And so, tonight was just that; great atmosphere, awesome espresso-martini, delicious food from start to finish, stellar staff/service and tasty dessert! Will definitely be back when visiting the island when I want a solid meal, in a comfortable, but still aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. Our waiter Josh was a pleasure from start to finish; hope he’s feeling better after having to leave early for the evening after becoming ill! I’ll/we’ll definitely be back in the future!

Amazing food and fantastic service. I enjoyed a meal with a group of 10 on a Tuesday evening. We ordered the baked clams, margarita pizza, capellini cakes and the calamari arrabbiata. The calamari and capellini cakes were absolutely delightful. We were also provided with a nice combo of garlic knots and bread which were fresh, warm and crispy — perfect to enjoy every ounce of the amazing sauce with the appetizers. For my entree I enjoyed the rigatoni fiorentina which was exceptional in taste and a generous portion. We brought home leftovers. Food was great and not too salty and the staff was attentive and on top of everything. I did not drink but the others in our party indicated that their cocktails were well made. There was a good variety of options and everyone was pleased. 5/5. We will be back.

Food was amazing. Had the calamari and Rigatoni Fiorentina, super delish. I can't believe I've lived on long Island all my life and I never been here. Will definitely be back👍👍

I had a fantastic date night here a little while back. The restaurant had a great atmosphere and feel to it. Perfect for a casual date night. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. We shared 2 wonderful dishes. The salmon piccata and the pumpkin Ravioli. The salmon was flavorful and tender. The rice sucked up that wonderful sauce and the artichoke was a great compliment. The dish was plated very beautiful as well. The Ravioli was amazing. I wasn't sure if pumpkin was going to work in Ravioli, but it did very well. I can't wait for another date night so I can come here again.

One of my go-to restaurants because the food and service are consistently very good! I met a friend for dinner here Friday night (7/7). Our reservation was for 4:30 and my friend was unexpectedly late. Our server came over 3 times before she even arrived to ask about drinks, clarify the day's specials and brought my drink within 6 minutes of ordering. Throughout the meal he continued his prompt and courteous service. Both our pasta dishes were attractively presented and very good...creamy sauces and enough in each dish for 2 meals.

We had a nice experience at La Piazza. The service was excellent — our waitress was very attentive and made us feel well taken care of. The stuffed mushrooms and Chicken Francese were both very good, and the sea bass special had great flavor (extremely oily ). The Margherita pizza and wild mushroom tagliatelle pasta (takeout) were just okay, and the pizza dessert was fine. Overall, great service and a few standout dishes — we’d come back to try more from the menu!

The food was good but the prices are higher than La Piazza in Merrick (which is our usual spot) and the menu is a little different. The Merrick location gives you a choice of free soup or salad with any entree. This location charges for sides with an entree. One of us ordered a side salad and they charged $10.

Went on a Saturday night at 5:30. Two of us, no reservation. Hostess, (older woman, angry school teacher type), was rude and curt. Gave us 30 minute wait time and said we could sit at the bar, " But not those front stools." Place was stifling hot, so we sat out in entrance foyer instead. After waiting awhile, I went in to check on status. Asked a manager, and rude hostess lady jumped in and snarled, " It's only been 20 minutes, YOU HAVE 10 LEFT!!!" I swear, I wanted to go right back at her, but stared her down instead, with younger hostesses looking back at me with empathy. Was clear she is a mega pleasure (%^] to work with! Finally got seated. Server Jose, was awesome. My drink was really, really strong. Food was over the top salty. Place, again, was boiling hot. Very dark, glitzy table area. Extremely crowded. Valet lot packs cars in. Suggest self-parking in another lot somewhere.

Average food at best however highly priced. Fried calamari was cold and chewy (definitely frozen) and my entrées both barely warm. Highlight of dinner was our server Tracy. She’s truly a blessing for this establishment, thus 3 stars. Honestly speaking, will not be back. One appetizer, two entrées and a bottle of wine with tax and tip is $170. There are so many other places I’d rather spend that much and I receive a much more rewarding meal. This restaurant is all glitz, but no substance.

Overpriced, and not always as advertised. The fettuccine Alfredo sauce is runny and not thick. I ordered on Doordash for pickup and it looked nothing like the creamy, sauce-covered pasta as pictured. When I asked for more Alfredo sauce at the restaurant, they charged me for it, even after having spent close to $300 on the order. Also this item says it comes with "shaved parmesan" and instead they gave me grated parmesan, (after having forgotten it in the first place) and it was the kind that goes on pizza. Then again, these are the pizza guys in the back and I don't think they are well-versed on the delivery menu or actual menu items of the restaurant? One of them even said I should have "asked for the sauce and parmesan" in advance when ordering on the app! I said "how was I supposed to know the fettucine alfredo was going to have runny sauce with barely any on it?” Plus, I showed him that it literally says on the menu item, "WITH SHAVED PARMESAN." These items are not cheap (almost $30!), so I don’t feel i'm in the wrong for having expectations that the food should look and be as-advertised. Anyways, a little disappointed as this was for Mother's Day celebration at home. Maybe would have been better to dine-in but she's nearly 90 and not very mobile.

Ordered 2 chicken parmigiana hero to go with french fries. Wow! I don’t understand how any restaurant would allow this food to leave the premises. At $16 a sandwich you would expect better quality. The sandwich is visibly burnt and the chicken is very dry. You lose customers this way. You are better off throwing this out and making a proper sandwich instead of serving this to go. Its like out of sight, out of mind.

I’ve been a loyal La Piazza customer for over 20 years—first in Plainview, then in Melville—and it’s always been a family favorite. Unfortunately, my recent experience was unacceptable. I ordered a dinner portion of Penne Alla Vodka (over $20), and the portion was shockingly small. When I called to ask about it, the employee was rude and dismissive—first claiming they had changed the dish size, then switching to say they now weigh every portion. The explanations made no sense, and there was no effort to make things right. After two decades of loyalty, it’s disappointing to see how little they value their longtime customers. I won’t be returning.

The hostess was super rude. Gave me a nasty look. Her smile disappeared as soon as she saw me. I ordered and it was $20 for the cheapest possible one order of pizza for one person...? She told me I had to wait outside or in the pick -up area with the chiefs (where it was extremely hot) it's disgusting they have the poor workers in extreme heat when it's 55 degrees outside anywyay. The chiefs were extremely nice and deserve better. It's the 1st time I ever came here and the place was completely empty. I will never come back here. Absolutely ridiculous. It's completely empty and she didn't even greet me. Super inappropriate behavior from supposedly a "nice" place. This is a pizza place, it's not a steak house. Don't give me an attitude for walking into an empty place to order myself a slice of pizza. .they don't even sell single slices. What pizza place doesn't sell single slices? It's 2025. The other negative reviews seem to reflect similar issues. Leaving people waiting a long period of time and treating people as if they're a. Fancy restaurant needing hundreds of dollars for a reservation to an empty place. That's insane logic. Whose making the positive reviews anyway? Never seen people here whenever I drive by. Probably delivery. They forcibly include tip so don't leave any tip!!!! They didn't give a receipt either.
