Food is delicious! My go to is a gnocchi in marinara sauce with melted mozzarella on top. All entrees that my family has ordered here have been this same type of large size portion. The single portion is enough for two meals. The restaurant has an upbeat and friendly vibe - good for families with or without children and adults alike. It gets really busy in there and sometimes is difficult to hear yourself speak. It goes back to the lively, positive atmosphere. Since so many people love it here there is often at least a short wait. Service has been consistently good.
I came here to surprise my mom for her birthday, which led me to wait a good hour on my parents to arrive and the service was amazing! Armond our server took great care of me and the management team was super interactive and created such a homey environment. The food matched the service for sure! My father is a man that doesn't like restaurant food and he cleared his plate. I will fore sure be coming back!
We chose to visit La Famiglia due to its name, as we were seeking a welcoming and family-oriented dining experience suitable for our grandparents. The establishment exceeded our expectations, offering exceptional food that was both fresh and flavorful—so enjoyable that we would gladly return for a meal like this every day, if possible. The staff maintained a consistently helpful and attentive demeanor, reinforcing a sense of comfort and confidence in their service. We highly recommend this venue to anyone and encourage a visit with the whole family for an outstanding dining experience.
Came here for a birthday celebration. Food was delicious and service was great. The portion sizes are huge! We did do a lot of family style meals but the sizes are very generous. My husband and I split a veal special and my daughter had gnocchi ala vodka sauce. I had the cucumber Collins to drink...perfect for a hot day!
Took my family (20 ) people to dinner ages 1 thru 72. We have been there before and always been treated well. This time the owner heard i haven't seen my family in 8 months he made it the most special night in a restaurant we ever had. We will never forget how special you and your staff made us feel.
This is, BY FAR the best Italian food I’ve ever had. It’s simply sunning. The atmosphere, the service, the food, absolutely outstanding. The prices are ridiculously LOW for what you get. If you’re thinking about a night out, this is the place. You will not be disappointed.
My family and I took my mother- in-law here for her 89th birthday. I've never felt so welcome in a restaurant. Everyone from the greeter, servers, managers...all were incredibly kind and accommodating. The restaurant is spotless, and very tastefully decorated, and also comfortable. Now to the food...I was raised by parents who grew up in Italy and didn't come to this country until they were in their 30s. So I know authentic Italian food. This, by far, exceeded my expectations. The food was amazing. The calamari was the best I've ever had, not chewy at all, perfection! I ordered the cacio e pepe, delicious! We were 5, and we were all extremely happy with the food. I highly recommend this restaurant, you will not be disappointed!
Have been here several times, and everytime is better than the last. Had a party of 10 on Mothers Day and it was absolutely fantastic. The table was in the sunroom which was a great start. Apps came out and one was better than the last. The family style portions are exactly what you want when sitting with a bunch of family and friends and need to please everyone.
Instagram: @fabriciofpf I recently had the pleasure of dining at La Famiglia, and the entire experience exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, the level of hospitality and professionalism from the entire staff was outstanding. The servers, managers, bus staff, and every team member we encountered were exceptionally attentive, courteous, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Their dedication to customer service created a warm and comfortable atmosphere throughout the evening. One of the first things that stood out was how immaculate the restaurant was. Every area was spotless, beautifully organized, and maintained with remarkable attention to detail. The ambiance is modern, elegant, and inviting, making it the perfect place for both family gatherings and special occasions. The black-and-white photographs displayed throughout the restaurant added a truly special touch. They beautifully capture traditional Italian culture and family heritage, creating a nostalgic and heartfelt atmosphere that makes the dining experience even more meaningful and memorable. The food, served family-style, was absolutely exceptional. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh, flavorful, and carefully prepared. The presentation was elegant and thoughtfully done, showcasing both authenticity and creativity. You can immediately tell that quality ingredients and passion go into every plate served. La Famiglia delivers far more than just an excellent meal — it offers a complete dining experience centered around hospitality, cleanliness, tradition, and outstanding Italian cuisine. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Italian food, exceptional service, and an unforgettable atmosphere on Long Island.
What a great dining experience Al La Famiglia 💕, from the convenient parking, exceptional service to the absolutely delicious dishes, lovely sun room setting, and most importantly, the laughs. We didn't have a reservation or dress for the type of restaurant since we happened to be in the area for an event. We were greeted immediately and had no wait. The staff was very organized. The restaurant's formal dining room and bar area were packed. We were sitting in their lovely sunroom. The waitress did a great job informing us of the specials. My cocktail was flawlessly balanced. We had the stuffed mushrooms, chicken parmesan, and seafood combination. Flavors and presentation were on point. Main dish prices were great, I was surprised to see the low prices in such a high-priced environment. The appetizers and bottled water were priced high. We had the small size and the portions were not shy at all. We both took full containers home. The Large size probably feeds four people. We didn't order sides or dessert. We were very pleased.
