The restaurant had a good crowd especially for a Monday night. Ordered the Rigatoni Filetto di Pomodoro and it was delicious. I couldn’t finish the dish as we also ordered their onion soup and Cold Antipasto. I had the leftover pasta to go and it was still delicious the next day. I got the crème brûlée for dessert.

Great Italian food with warm and attentive service. The oyster mushroom appetizer was amazing. My pasta with shrimp and shataki mushrooms also nice. Wife had a nice salmon dish. Everything was tasty right down to the warm bread. Dessert continued the same great path with moist and light Tiramisu, exceptional tartuffo and delicious cappacino. A wonderful place to experience traditional Italian food with attentive service to match. We will be back again.

This restaurant was amazing. We stumbled into this location, just because we had a taste for Italian and we stumbled into a dining experience. Food was delicious and the experience was great!

A real feel of home Italian cooking. Service is exceptional and the restaurant is quite elegant with a cozy feeling. The food was prepared authentically and the taste of each meal was outstanding.

Excellent Italian in a very competitive restaurant scence in Rockville Center. Been there for decades and it is a local gem. The food is awesome but I do not like that they do not give pasta with an entree but rather give mashed potatoes. Pasta can be ordered ala carte. A little silly if you ask me but those are the rules. They close promply at 9pm and last order taken is at 830pm so be aware of that. Excellent wine list. Amarone choices are great.

Food was excellent and the service couldn't have been better. The waiter rattled off every ingredient of approximately 20 dishes and appetizers from memory. Super impressive. Stuffed veal chop in chestnut sauce was amazing. Homemade potato chips were the best I ever had. You can sit and slowly enjoy a perfectly timed meal with friends like we did as there is no feel of rush at all. Old style Northern Italian. We'll be back.

The dining was an experience in class and professionalism. I throughly enjoyed every course. Prices are very reasonable for the quality. I did have to question my waiter on a few dishes since they expect you to be familiar with Italian cuisine nuances. Just for information and not a criticism. Highly recommended.

My husband and I haven't been to this restaurant for many many years. It was just as good as I remember. The service was attentive and the food was excellent. Some dishes are a touch salty. It is pricey but worth it. Two thumbs up. I will definitely go back. I highly recommend reservations especially on the weekend. It is small place with just 14 tables and a long bar.

With Nicks, this is easily my favorite restaurant in RVC. I would argue that it’s the best Italian food I’ve had. Parents have been taking me here since I was a kid, and it never disappoints. The decor and ambiance are my favorite of any restaurant I frequent. Gives a feel of Italy in the 60’s-at least how my imagination pictures it. Chicken Marsala gets the job done every time.

By far, the best veal chop I've ever had. The veal chop Dario is my go-to dish whenever I'm there. Paul and his staff are awesome. This is the only Northern Italian Restaurant you ever have to go to.

An good old fashion Italian resturant that has stood the test of time my type of place. Nice to see waiters dressed well and know there craft. Service is 5 stars. The food is excellent and tastes great. The place has a nice feel to it warm and friendly.

I don’t like giving restaurants bad reviews but I definitely want to be honest with my opinion. The place is very small, very crowded. The server we got was very rude and not very helpful. When my 13 year old asked what things on the menu were he answered with sarcasm. I am not sure if he didn’t know the menu Or just don’t want to help us. He was very friendly with the rest of customer. The food was ok. I ordered lobster ravioli, my son had chicken parmesano but came with no Sides only the chicken, my 2nd son and husband had steak with side of green beans. We spent $282.00, ( we still left a $30 tip) I felt as if he was being discriminatory toward us. The customers were definitely making us feel uncomfortable with the stares. My family and I were celebrating a birthday. We definitely tried to make the night the best we could. I definitely would not recommend this restaurant and will not return there again. I hope you find this review helpful. (I only took 2 pictures as We were feeling very uncomfortable and did not want to attract anymore unnecessary attention)

While I have great respect for the restaurant staff, I believe management/owner, Paul, should uphold a standard of courtesy and professionalism toward its clients. If there is a minimum order policy, it should be clearly communicated upfront. The way we were treated today was highly disrespectful, and I have no intention of returning to this place.

This place is seriously overrated. If you enjoy stuck-up, out dated dining, where you're made to feel unwelcome and the food is subpar, head over. No, thanks. Also, my bolognese pasta dish was disgusting.

Food is good, but the quality does not even come close to the prices they charge. I am Italian and I know Italian food. I was not impressed. The staff is not very accommodating. Stiff and inflexible when it comes to requests as simple as a bigger glass. For the prices they charge they should bend over backwards to keep you happy. Once you walk in you are basically at the mercy of rules and policy regardless of what you want. Will not be returning. They would do a lot more business if they loosened up the communist attitude, and improved the quality of their food considering they charge top dollar. Ponderous how they remain open. You have been warned.
