Our "go to " local restaurant in Rockville Centre.We have been coming to this local gem for over 30 years ! A perfect spot for date night with the wife or a large party. Brought my work team there for the Holidays and they all loved it! Ray the owner, Chris the Manager, Sofia the hostess and the rest of the staff truly go out of their way to make everyone feel like family. Food is always delicious . Lots for great options, from the appetizers to dessert . They never disappoint !

This is a place my mom told me about often. It was my first time here today. The lady at the front desk was friendly. Our waiter Eric was nice and checked on us. The bread in the basket was HEAVENLY!! it was so light like eating a cloud. the olive oil’s rich flavor complemented it perfectly. The calamari was nice, the sauce was spicy and suited it well. I had the Amore Panini. The bread was great, the prosciutto was flavorful and not so salty like some ive had before. My mother ordered Bronzini, her regular. She said it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. For dessert I had the cherry gelato and god it was unlike any gelato i had before. It put Ben and Jerrys to SHAME!! The cherries were so juicy. My mother had the tiramisu. She says its well made and delicious. Overall it was a comfortable atmosphere and I would 100% return.

They make suburban new york Italian restaurants with concrete...metaphorically speaking of course. The mob left these scenes the moment Sonny Corleone was machine-gunned at the toll booth. The food here would keep any restaurateur safe from a date with the fishes. Order whatever takes your fancy. It ain't cheap, but it's as real as...well...concrete.

Amazing Italian restaurant from Appetizers down to desserts! I ordered the branzino, a delightful white flaky fish that is so special when roasted whole and expertly taken off the bone. The calamari appetizer and clams left me wanting more! The flourless chocolate cake and cappuccino was the topping on the cake. Highly recommend!

Good vibes. Excellent service. Old world style and manners. Quality food. Nothing bad to say and it's consistently been this way for years. Great for a date, family event or dinner out with friends. Just all around a great spot. Forgot how nice it was and was reminded in this post pandemic world the beauty of a meal out on the town! Loved it thanks

We went for my birthday; and not only was the food amazing, the service was top-notch! We had a Caesar salad for two and a risotto ball for an appetizer. Both were very well made. My husband got a chicken parmesan, off the menu, and the cutlet was huge and wonderfully tender. The sauce was very good as well. I got the Orecchiette Pugliesi, which is ear pasta (cooked al dente), sausage, broccoli rabe, a few olives and garlic and oil. It was excellent! They brought me a brownie with whipped cream and ice cream for a birthday dessert (complimentary) and offered me a gift certificate for our next visit. Great place! I wouldn't say it's pricey; the bill came to just over $100 and we did have drinks. It was worth every penny. They offer the same menu at cheaper prices for lunch. There is outdoor seating in the warmer months. I highly recommend Dodici. It has a warm, cozy environment. Even though there were a a lot of people dining, I couldn't really hear the conversations of others. There is also a party room in the back.

A decent Italian restaurant on Long Island. Food was nice, service was good. Baked clams were actually a highlight!

Location Environment is amazing , staff is fantastic just very poor lack of management. Management is too busy on a phone doesn't greet all customers but his friends. Inconsistencies with food and beverage service. Peroni beer isn't served to temp, food is not being overlooked. Chicken was terrible very soggy.

Im an Italian visiting in the US, and generally when I’m outside of the country I avoid eating in Italian restaurants and prefer to enjoy local food. But my son wanted some pasta and so we decided to try this place out, and definitely found it above expectations. The pasta was cooked perfectly (for Italians this is a very important point), the quality of the products was definitely high and even the presentation of the dishes was pleasant. Their wine selection was also surprising and not overpriced as in other places. The service was also eccellente. Our waiter helped us throughout the entire meal.

Ordered food for take out that was supposed to take 40 minutes. Waited an hour to go there. When I get there, they tell me they haven’t even put it in yet and it would be another 40 minutes. Then they are confused when I am upset by that. Hard to understand
