Gino's of East Norwich — Restaurant in Town of Oyster Bay

What a fabulous place for a large family gathering! We recently used the private room for a party of 13. The service was attentive and the servers were personable and helpful. We started out with appetizers for the table - the cauliflower crust margarita pizza was fab and the zucchini tempura sticks were lightly battered and super tasty. The little pastry pockets filled with fig in the middle was also something to write home about!! The wine that was served was perfect with the appetizers - a nice red from Tuscany. We also had garlic pizza sticks that were light and airy and reminded me of my grandmothers homemade pizza. The main courses had several standouts including the sea bass special, and the skirt steak with Marsala sauce - (wow was that tasty!) The penne ala vodka was also superb. It was also lovely to have healthy grilled chicken and veal choices that were a home run for those watching their waistlines! I’d be remiss not to mention a very special salad with avocado, goat cheese and candied walnuts that was another crowd favorite!! The dessert was super special - mini cannolis wrapped in chocolate and a blueberry cheesecake that looked delicious. The lava cake also looked decadent. If I could rate this place higher than a 5, I would. The food came out hot and delicious and everything was perfectly cooked. I wish I lived closer, as this would be a favorite restaurant to frequent weekly. Thanks to the wonderful staff and all those who made this a terrific experience and a wonderful truly wonderful and...

I ordered take out for the first time. It was a horrible experience. I placed an order early because I knew that it would get very busy soon. The woman who took my order on the phone said it would be delivered around 45 minutes. I said great because they are actually going to prepare a good meal. I get my order in 15 minutes. I said wow that’s fast for any restaurant to prepare food. Everything I received was processed not homemade. The cheese tasted oily on my chicken parmigiana hero. The sauce or gravy on the sandwich tasted pre made from a can. I had lasagna that had only flakes of meat hardly any sauce and full of tasteless cheese. my order of spaghetti and meatballs was the best entree out of the three. I asked for parmesan cheese which I paid extra money for and didn’t even get it in my order. Finally with insult to injury I was charged close to $80.00 for this mess. Never was told a total on the phone and the receipt had no explanation of price just a list of what was offered. I worked in an Italian restaurant for years. I know what good food tastes like. If you are going to charge above normal prices your food has to be authentic and run of the mill and subpar. Please get...

I went here today for lunch after being told it was better than pizza place in the area. The inside of this place is beautiful. I really loved looking around while i waited for my order. They had a lot of great looking pizza on display as well as cold brew that i really wanted to try. I ended up getting a chicken Caesar roll which came with a side of sauce. It was delicious and i ate it before i could grab a picture.

I also ordered a slice of bbq chicken pizza. It came out fresh so i had to wait a few minutes, but it was worth the wait. It was a giant slice of pizza with a good amount of chicken. The dough felt and tasted like focaccia which i really liked. I'm excited to go back and try another pizza sometime soon. I will probably skip the chicken roll next time because the one slice of pizza was more than enough. I think my total was $16 if i heard correctly so I'll definitely just get the single...
