Sotto Luna — Restaurant in Town of North Hempstead

Review for Sotto Luna Restaurant

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had the pleasure of dining at Sotto Luna last night, and I can’t say enough good things about our experience! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the owner, who was incredibly kind, especially since I had mistakenly made the reservation for the wrong night. Despite the mix-up, she made us feel right at home and accommodated us without hesitation.

We kicked off our evening with a bottle of Chardonnay that was simply perfect. It set the tone for a delightful meal. For starters, we opted for the Caesar salad, and let me tell you, it was delicious! The flavors were spot on, and it was a great prelude to the main course.

I ordered the Chicken Francese, and I was blown away by the generous portion size. It was so good that I have leftovers for dinner tonight, which is always a win in my book! I can’t recommend it enough. I’m already looking forward to my next visit to get the Veal Valdestano, which I’ve had before and can highly recommend as well.

The ambiance was enhanced by a talented singer who played all the classic songs we knew and loved — it really added to the overall experience. And let’s not forget about the bread! It was served hot and was absolutely yummy, making it hard to resist going back for seconds.

We wrapped up our evening with a little ice cream, which was the perfect sweet ending to our meal. The wait staff was terrific throughout the night, attentive without being intrusive, and they made sure we had everything we needed.

I can’t wait to return next Friday for more fun at Sotto Luna! If you’re looking for a fantastic dining experience with great food, friendly service, and a lively atmosphere, this is the...

I made a visit back to Sotto Luna for the first time after a decade, wondering all the while - 'Will it be as good as I remembered?' In short, most things are.

Some things have certainly changed. Since last I visited, the restaurant has moved to a new location, but the interior is still warm and cozy while the service remains as friendly. And you've got to pay respects to a place that delivers a whole head of roasted garlic with warm (almost too hot to touch) bread.

Familiar Italian favorites are done extremely well here. My picky father enjoyed his linguine pescatore - a healthy serving of mussels, clams, shrimp, and calamari nestled in a bed of pasta in red sauce. I ordered a classic spaghetti and meatballs, and the sheer size of the meatballs drew audible gasps from around the table. Rigatoni a la vodka? Delicious. Other riskier orders didn't fare so well. Someone took a chance with a shrimp ravioli special, and it arrived in a sauce whose texture could only be described as 'gloopy'. Two from our party ordered the pollo campagnola sauce (boneless chicken with sausage, peppers, potatoes, onions and flavored with garlic and rosemary), and these plates were also received lukewarmly. The key to success here seems to be sticking to the tried and true.

As mentioned, service is impeccable. We were checked on frequently, with water glasses kept diligently full, and needs met quickly (and sometimes anticipated by our attentive server). Sotto Luna remains as special a place as ever and a true hidden gem in this quiet Long...

If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, look no further than Sotto Luna in Albertson. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warmth and a genuine sense of hospitality, thanks to the incredible owner, Melissa, who truly cares about every guest.

The food? Absolutely five stars. Each dish is a masterpiece, bursting with flavor, fresh ingredients, and impeccable presentation. The fried calamari is hands down the best I’ve ever had—crispy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. (Squeeze the lemon on it!) And the Pizza Pollo? It was so fresh and amazing, with just the right balance of flavors. Whether you're indulging in their perfectly cooked pastas, delectable seafood, or expertly crafted appetizers, it’s clear that a lot of passion and skill goes into every plate.

Melissa not only ensures the quality of the food but also takes the time to engage with customers, making every visit feel personal and special. It's rare to find such a combination of excellent cuisine and such thoughtful service. Sotto Luna is a gem, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would!!!!...
