Francesco's Trattoria — Restaurant in Town of Islip

Yes...5 Stars across the board, pleasantly surprised to see a little pizza place with a nice dining room in the back(we were told it was recently renovated) gives this place an atmosphere worth visiting where other small pizza places lack. Tablecloths and cozy but small so keep that in mind during weekends. We got the last table on a Tuesday even though it was a pasta special menu night...(btw, lots of nice choices too). The service was good, the complimentary garlic knots were hot and full of tasty fresh garlic, the included house salad was excellent too. Our choice this first trip was off the regular menu, it was a classic and conservative dish: chicken parmesan with angel hair pasta, and penne ala vodka w/ added chicken.

Absolutely delicious meal. Went here for dinner with my boyfriend and some friends and it was delicious! The garlic knots and bread were spectacular. Best garlic knots I have ever had.

And then the main course...better than I could have ever expected! I finished my meal with a mint Oreo gelato..it was unreal how good it was!! I highly recommend checking this place out. Cute pizza shop up front and adorable little dining room in the back. The service was fantastic as well. Our waitress was Christina, she was so sweet and everything came out perfectly. On top of the great food and great service, the prices are reasonable and the portions are huge!!! I can't wait to...

Hidden gem! Great food and service. My husband and I have been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. Frank is awesome and the wait staff is like family to us now. The food is delicious and we've tried everything on the menu from pasta to seafood and the meatballs are out of this world. Even the house salad is amazing and everything is made fresh too. The prices can't be beat and the portions are very generous - we always take some home for lunch the next day. In addition to the regular menu Mondays and Tuesdays are pasta night, Wednesday is chicken night and Thursday is shrimp night. Usually different specials on Fridays and Saturdays too. Always something good cooking at Francescos! You should definitely...
