La Volpe Ristorante & Anton Pizzeria — Restaurant in Town of Brookhaven

My experience here was decent, but had a few tweaks I would make. To start, the bread was really good, especially with their olive oil. This bread was definitely better than the average restaurant bread, and I reminded myself to save room for the meal. To start, I had the friend calamari/zucchini appetizer which had its pros and cons. The pro would be the calamari which is the main part of the dish. This was delicious with and without the marinara. The fried Zucchini was a bit of a let down for me. As you can see in the picture, it was pretty lightly fried and by my definition, that is not fried. Also, calamari is more expensive than zucchini which took up half of the order. I definitely think they should charge less if there is less calamari due to some zucchini there. The price they charged was fair if the entire serving was the more expensive ingredient, just something to point out. Also, don’t be afraid to really fry it! I don’t eat veggies unless they are fried so when I see that word on a menu, my eyes light up. For my main course, I got the americana pizza. This was pretty good and they gave a good amount of toppings as you can probably see. Something about that woodfire oven gives it a really nice flavor. If I returned, I would probably try a different pizza, or their chicken parm which looked delicious. I liked the ranch, and they gave a good amount of toppings. I was happy with the service, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Our waitress was really nice, and we did not have to call her over once; she was very attentive to our table. I think they overdid it with the water refills. My family and I were trying to have a conversation, but repeatedly after a few sips of water they refill the glasses again. I understand this was well intended, but it got to the point where they were pretty much standing there waiting to fill more water. This got a bit intrusive as we were not really comfortable with that much of our conversation being heard, but it feels a little weird to have someone always standing over me while I am eating. I find myself pausing the meal, waiting for them to be done (for now) then getting back to it. That same pause applies to our conversation as well. I know the workers are not listening in, it would just be nice to not have someone standing over us and constantly pouring. I do not drink water, but other people at my table do and they agreed there was a bit too much hovering. Overall, I left satisfied and was pretty full. I will reiterate their chicken parm looked really good; that may be what I go for if I do return. Overall, this was a decent experience with some room for...

I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience with the staff at Anton restaurant. I ordered a very large delivery (large pan of wings, 20 hero’s and 10 specialty pies) for my daughter’s birthday party, feeding 50 guests. The delivery arrived 25 minutes earlier than scheduled for, we asked the delivery man if there was any way we could have something delivered to keep the food hot since the party didn’t start for another 25 min (recommended by our server) and food wasn’t supposed to be served for another hour. He gave my myself, my mother, server and husband an unbelievable attitude and started taking the food out of our home.

Next, we called the restaurant and Frank answered the phone.. thinking and expecting help or answers, Frank was disrespectful and upsetting to me just minutes before my daughters birthday party began. He provided zero solutions and refused to deliver a heating device recommended by our server (which he confirmed the restaurant has access to).

We have been ordering from this restaurant to cater our Christmas Eve dinner since the opening. After this experience, we can never order from or recommend this restaurant again. The behavior and lack of respect or problem solving skills of the staff was astonishing.

After the way we were mistreated, the simple 25 minute early delivery was the least of our stress before my daughter’s 2nd birthday party, which should have and could have been easily fixed with basic consumer service. Truly, truly, upsetting. I would give 0...

We dined here on the night before July 4th. We were a party of twelve with a reservation. None of us ordered anything particularly elaborate, yet it took nearly an hour and a half for the food to reach the table. During that time, no one offered an explanation as to why things seemed to be taking so long. When we finally asked, the waitress offered that the chef was not present that evening.

We spoke to the owner, who was a complete boor. He was defensive and rude asking, "What do you want me to do?" "What do you want me to do?" He never mentioned anything about the chef not being present and kept saying that he had a full house that evening and we had to understand.

What we understood was that we sat there for ninety minutes while people who arrived after we did were served dinner and then desert. What we wanted was an explanation and maybe an apology and some concession. What we got was a heaping plateful of insensitivity and bad manners garnished with the owner's insolence and disdain all because we presumed to ask why things were taking so long.

We ate, paid the full tab (the owner wasn't creative, conciliatory or decent enough to offer any sort of break) and we left without further interaction. My question to anyone giving a good review is: why take the chance of going to La Volpe and being treated like a schmuck just because they make halfway decent, but generally easy to cook...
