Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in East Islip

favorite place to order Bucatini Amatriciana- The pasta is homemade and just delicious!

This was our second time and Gioia and it was just as amazing as the first! The service is excellent. We loved the Spritz Cart that they bring to the table. The pasta dishes we got were SO delicious and you can’t miss dessert! Can’t wait to come back.

Great food and service. Though somewhat pricy depending on what you choose $$-$$$

We had a really nice meal. Drinks were huge. Our food was really satisfying and service was great, friendly and well paced Our only complaint, your sanitation team uses a strongly scented spray to clean tables adjacent to ours. I doubt know if the spray the surface instead of their cleaning cloth, but it is unpleasantly noticeable.

Nunzi’s was amazing from start to finish. We had a little hiccup with our reservation (an OpenTable issue), but Naz reached out and contacted me and situated the problem very efficiently. I was nervous at first because we were coming here for my birthday and I didn’t want to have any problems. We were very much accommodated. The staff were welcoming and attentive. Our waiter was amazing. He was very sweet and funny and gave great recommendations food wise. We ordered the meatballs and the Italian long hots for an appetizer. The meatballs were amazing the long hots are great if you like spicy. Dinner wise I can only speak on the chicken parm ala vodka is was 🤤 delicious. My friends loved their meals as well and the portions were great. We were so full afterwards. The ambience was lovely! Very comfortable and chill vibes. They had a nice like happy birthday sign at the table when we got there and sang happy birthday with our dessert. Even tho there’s a two Hour table time limit we did not feel rushed at all! Overall a great experience and they made my birthday special. Definitely worth the visit.
