This place is amazing! Went there for brunch on a Saturday and basically had the whole place to ourselves. The food was delicious and the iced coffee had COFFEE ICE CUBES!! Highly recommend giving this place a try.The aesthetic was adorable and I still can’t atop thinking about the mason jar light fixtures. So cute!! 😍The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is the prices- a bit high for small portions that don’t fully fill you up. But still worth going once in a while to treat yourself!!

Salumi is one of Massapequa‘s hidden treasures. Their boards are incredibly curated, their wine selection is extensive and has something for everyone, and you can’t go wrong with any of their large or small plates. Be it brunch, lunch from the sandwich counter (I recommend the Roma), or dinner, Salumi is always a great choice. Ps you MUST try the chocolate dip dessert.

A very nice romantic place. Came here the day before Valentines Day with my partner and we both enjoyed the food. They have a nice wine selection, the staff is nice, and the food tastes fresh and high quality. Price tag is a little high so for two people expect to pay about $70-$80 with a couple drinks. That said this is a great date spot so if you want to splurge and have a nice date then this place is perfect. The picture is of the Italian board they offer.

A wonderful place for brunch. I am so excited to go back and try tapas there. As you can see from the pictures the cheese board is amazing and worth every penny. Food was delicious, fresh and very well presented.

Long time customer (one of their first actually) and finally made it hear for brunch. Boy was I missing out. Talk about starting the day off right? A great coffee, an ice cold beer (yes I am that guy) coupled with walnut pesto toast and an Egg, bacon and fig jam sandwich on a home made English muffin - out of this WORLD. Try it for yourself youll see. Two very big thumbs up.

Meat boards are really good and you can customize them any way you like. Theyre very accommodating about that. The waitress knew the menu well and was able to give detailed answers when we had questions.

My wife and son love this place, but for me it was only so so. Staff was great and the place looks fine. We went for food, so I cant comment on the drinks/bar. I thought much of what we had suffered from a heavy hand with the salt. I like properly seasoned food, but this seemed more to be a case of salt being added as a finish. The shrimp and grits suffered from salty shrimp while the grits which were more butter than grits were great. The pork belly sandwich was fine with good bread except the pork belly itself was overly salted. The steak was the one dish that wasnt heavily salted and was cooked perfectly. I was a bit disappointed in the place after how much my family has sold it, but I think that has more to do with my particular tastes. I would still recommend it to anyone who enjoys tapas or is curious about it.

Im writing this because of the disrespectful and insulting customer service my party received. As a Registered Dietitian (RD) and Head of the L.I Restaurant Association, I know bad customer service when I see it. I made a reservation prior to my visit, and even called the day of to confirm. I arrived and there was no reservation under my name.Mistakes happen, and my party and I were finally seated. My party ordered a few meat boards and a bunch of tapas to share along with a few bottles of wine. The diversity of the menu food was very good! However, I did not realize nor anticipate that my stay at the establishment was being TIMED. Our waitress rudely interjected at my partys table and stated, By the way, you have 15..I mean 17 minutes left before you have to leave. I asked her why and she stated, Reservations are only an hour and a half long. I wish I was made aware of this policy before I made the reservation. It was not noted anywhere on the Restaurants website, nor when I entered. A few minutes later, another person (presumably the restaurant owner or Maitred) yelled at us and said, Your time is up, you need to leave. Heres a box.Personally, I was very insulted by the staff. I strongly feel that this could have been handled a different way. I basically was kicked out of the restaurant, along with my party. It was probably the most embarrassing act of a restaurant and hospitality establishment Ive ever seen. Im not returning to the establishment again, and suggest that others avoid it as well.

Never disappoints! The food, drinks, ambiance, staff, everything is wonderful. Last time we sat at the bar which I never usually do out to dinner, but it was so enjoyable that I would actually request to sit there in there in the future. We were able to converse with 2 employees, Brian and Joe who were so attentive, friendly and actually took the time to chat with us. Can’t wait to go back soon!

This place is extremely unprofessional. I went to have dinner with my boyfriend and once i arrived they did not take our information only sat us down in a couch in the middle of the room to wait, let me remind you that we met a guy (unsure if he was a server) he did NOT take our information and then let us sit, afterwards there was a couple that came AFTER us and he had the audacity to get them a table after we were waiting for over half an hour, I went over to him and told him we arrived first and he said no you didn’t and then I replied “the reason why you think we didn’t is because you didn’t even bother to take our information when we arrived” to make it even worse he still sat the couple before us, so there’s that. Absolutely Im professional, never had such a terrible experience.

Great little spot with fantastic food, superb service, and bonus, a fun bunch of additional kitchen/food items for sale.Can personally recommend the Spanish Board and bloody marvelous (a very interesting spin on a traditional bloody mary) but from the quality of what we saw and tasted Im sure its all similarly tasty.

A pretty robust wine selection and the yaps are great.Service has always been a bit meh. Last time I was here for brunch I had to send back a drink because my bloody Maria was way too spicy. They did not remove it from my bill. Wish I had known, my friend would have at least finished it. Those little things service-wise really affect your decision to return. I doubt I will.

Its difficult to put into words how incredible this spot is. Read about fancy Olive oil, flip through an inspiring cookbook, shop for beautiful spices while waiting on one of the best sandwiches you will ever taste.The staff here were so kind and helpful with my really boisterous family as all eight of us changes our orders, and the result was a Canadian of amazing flavor.

Food was good, but service was not. My friends and I spent a good amount there for dinner. We were kicked out for sitting for a few extra minutes after paying the bill. It was definitely not busy. There were other tables available. He said he needed the table. We will not be going back there.

OMG, this is the biggest hidden gem! Off of Jericho Turnpike turn into Friendlys if you must and head to the back, youll see a small entrance into the neighboring parking area towards the back and boom! Youve arrived to the best Ramen I could find. At first youll enter a cute Japanese market with all the authentic finds, head to the back and order a Ramen of your choice. If you like spice like me get R4 and the fried chicken is fresh and delightful as well. Must try!

We had a private Xmas party, so this review is not for the general restaurant. Although because of the party Im eager to try the bat/ restaurant side.. EVERYTHING from the staff to the food exceeded expectations. I dont know exact menu items but we had meatballs and roasted cauliflower that were delicious and beef empanadas that stole the show. The beer and wine list were great and the staff was quick and attentive. Cant wait to go back.

New fall menu 2020 is excellent. Highly recommend the king trumpets, that is truly a rockstar dish that is underrated.As always, get a board (we got the Italian this time,) a few glasses of wine (the alto adige pinot and Tempranillo are my favorites right now!)One of the most important restaurants on Long Island. So excited to continue frequenting this amazing place.

This place is so good that I visited it for the first time October 6 and I have been back 4 times (including today). The small plate grilled shrimp is excellent, and with polenta is next level but to be fair, every single thing I had was fantastic.A full bar and great wine list adds just the right touch. The service and product knowledge is some of the best on Long Island. This my new favorite place.

Review №57

So glad to have this on the island. It is a sophisticated but casual enough place for drinks, tapas, and brunch with my husband. My favorite was the grilled octopus at one point, but the menu is always changing seasonally. The bartender is very helpful to explain the wine list and cocktails and creates them with care. The cheeses are surprising and delicious. It will get packed at night, so the earlier the better if you need to feed a crowd.

We went there for Sunday breakfast with my adult stepson. What a great eating experience! The menu is quirky. Their products are super fresh. While the patrons are enjoying a terrific meal, they are surrounded by possibilities as the shelves are stocked with uniquely packaged dry goods that are or arent gourmet oriented, and appeal to everyone. Looking forward to returning!!!

I asked the waitress to split the check, I told her to use the $50 bill and put the rest on the card. She put the whole amount on the card and help herself to a tip from the cash! Who does that.... she definitely wasnt friendly when I asked her about seating when I first got there. Food and drinks are good but the staffs attitude is mot worth it

I come to these places for the cheese boards. MyWife comes for the wine. All ICare about is meat and cheese!Great place to go on a date on a rainy night. The wine is very tasty.

Review №67

I absolutely love this place. Without question my favourite restaurant on Long Island. Very bold European flavours in their meat and cheese plates. Great wines to accompany these. Many of the cooked dishes are excellent too. This restaurant is a distillation of European cuisine (mainly Italian and Spanish) with a US twist. It really works well. Although I live in the Europe now, I still miss this place.

Simply put, the food is so good it makes me worried they might not do enough business and close down, and then Ill lose an unusually good local gem, so I better eat here more often while I can!Its not the cheapest, portion-wise, but you really are getting the quality you pay for. Youre not going to find this good and this authentic anywhere else in the area. If youve never tried blood sausage, dont be afraid, its great!

It is one of the better tapas places because their menu is eclectic. Various types of cured meats and cheeses that you can experience, also some interesting seafood. I really like the octopus as well as the brussel sprouts and of course the prosciutto. Can be a little overpriced but thats not unexpected with the type of fare. Kind of like a spot youd expect to see in Brooklyn but its in a massapequa strip mall.
