I have been here a few times, especially for the pizza, and I always take out. The pizza is great. This time we decided to eat in. What a mistake !! First of all, they need more help. The waitress seemed to be working the front desk as well. Trying to get a glass of water was a big production. We ordered an appetizer and was told that they ran out of potatoe croquettes so chef gave us more of the other items. That was fine. What surprised me was when they brought our pasta dishes, and we asked for grated cheese, the waitress said they ran out of cheese!!!. This is an Italian restaurant, how do you run out of cheese?. Ridiculous. Also, portions were small, especially for a 24.00 plate of pasta. There was no bread on table and portions were small for the price of the pasta. Very disappointing. Will not be back anytime soon. Cheap service and cheap food. It's like they don't care anymore. You better get your act together because there are 5 other italian restaurants right on the same block that have better food and service and better prices.

The best pizza I have ever had, like eating in Italy. They make fresh Gluten Free pasta and other dishes but do not order the Gluten free pizza it is terrible. ThIs is my new Italian place. It's unbelievably delicious. I never thought I would ever give a bad review about anything from Chef Gigi BUT DO NOT ORDER THE GLUTEN FREE PIZZA It is terrible. I have had Gluten Free Pizza from many places, From Grottos in Rehoboth beach which was the Best GF Pizza I ever had, To King Umberto in Franklin square, Those places make Gluten free pizza that tastes like Pizza that is not gluten free. What I had here was a big Burnt Cracker with sauce and cheese, BUT what they DO have is probably some of the best regular pizza and food on Long island, including their Gluten free pasta which is delicious. I Lowered my rating because of what they call Gluten free pizza. Disgusting.

Everything was delicious !! They are always good. NOW with the 8.2 review from Pizza President the wait may be longer but worth the wait. So give yourself time to place your order. We eat inside the restaurant and everything was fantastic.

We ordered a large pie to go, and it was probably the best pizza I’ve had in a while. Great sauce, great cheese, and the crust was nice and charred but still very soft. I could almost taste the wood fire from the oven.
