Filetto's East Northport — Restaurant in Town of Huntington

I've probably been going to Filetto's since I was 12 years old and have recently stopped going. The food is about what you'd expect, nothing bad but nothing crazy and is middle of the road. The service is very hit or miss, recently there's a lot of waitresses that you can tell this is either their first job or their first waitress job. Either their on their phones and don't pay attention to you or you'll have a really good waitress that knows what she's doing such as getting you refills without you even needing to ask and asking before taking things off the table. The owner is very chummy and sometimes can overstay his welcome, you'll know him when you see him. My biggest issue with filletos and the main reason I've stopped going is the live music. The performers they hire are downright horrible and play waaaay too loud. The worst part is it's not even Italian music, it's usually country music or stuff from the 80s and 90s. I cant bare to be in there for more than 20 minutes before the music just hurts to listen to. I'd say go somewhere else for now until the owner realizes he's wasting money on live music that drives away a loyal...

Margarita pizza:

Dough: 4/5 - favorite pizza dough is just flour, water, salt, and yeast - this had a touch of oil in it I believe. Overall still good, thin, and adequately cooked. Was quite floppy in the middle though, which to be fair, may be related to being thrown into a box right after cooking. Sauce: 5/5 fresh and slightly tangy pure tomato sauce Cheese: 4.5/5 good fresh moz with, I think, a little low moisture moz as well which I appreciated. Good amount and adequately cooked with nice coloring.

Other: right amount of basil and a touch of dried herbs to add flavor.

Constructive criticism: While they advertise brick oven pizza, mine was cooked in a commercial oven. I think they did throw it into their brick oven for a minute at the end, but definitely would prefer it a bit longer with the wood fire to get that charred taste. Also might help the floppy crust.

Overall enjoyable, better than average in the area, and I will...

A neighborhood casual, Italian, restaurant for dining in or take out meals. I don't live in the area but make it a point to stop in whenever I'm passing through. Consistently good food over the years and a great friendly staff. Comfortable open seating with a variety of booths and tables. Saturday night music is a real treat. Some of the best pizza you'll ever have. Plenty of parking, easy access. Give it a try. Update: We decided to visit Richie since he was such a great host. Turns out that this Italian restaurant was trying an Octoberfest menu for a few weekends and it was fantastic! German food that was prepared to perfection. We had salad, chicken liver and bockwurst appetizers, potato leek and beer soup, and a huge portion of the most delicious Wiener schnitzel all chased down with some wine and beer. We'll be back to try out some of the other specialties before the month ends. By the way, Jenna is a top...
