La Famiglia — Restaurant in Town of Oyster Bay

Be sure to check your bill when having a large table. I recently had a large table of 13 adults and 9 children. I took the itemized bill home with me because the total sounded outrageous. After reviewing the bill I realized there were many things I was overcharged for. I called the next day and asked for a manager which I believe was the owner who got on the phone. I went over the bill and he called over the waiter to ask some questions. I could hear the conversation in which there was a big discrepancy regarding our order. The owner said he would review the camera and call me in an hour. Needless to say, I did not hear back in which I called the next day and left a message. I did receive a call back, although he said the camera showed the waiter was right, we all know there was no camera especially when I made my argument quite clear, there was no possible way. He then put me on speaker so the waiter in question could hear and respond. Very unprofessional, as there were too many ways in which I was correct, the waiter offered to send me his own personal check. Totally ridiculous...At this point, it was the principal of the way the owner handled it. Waiter's work mostly on tips so inflating the bill is to their advantage, however, I feel the owner threw him under the bus. So many negatives regarding this matter. By the way, the food is good which is the only reason for...

Came in for dinner on a Thursday at 7:30pm, the place was pretty empty and we were seated right away. They had a party going on in another room and they seemed to only have one waiter who was spread thin. Although the waiter was very nice when he came over to take our order we only wanted to order the appetizers and then later order the meal. He told us he would prefer to put the entire order in due to the party(which is not true because I was here once before and they forced us to do the same thing). We did not mind doing this but we were not even given a minute to look over the menu and talk about it, the waiter stood there and just kept making suggestions(which is nice) and we had to decide on the spot. To start we order the Italian eggrolls, mozzarella sticks, and fried zucchini. All of these were absolutely delicious and if I had to choose the fried zucchini would definitely be the winner. For dinner we order the large sizes of the penne vodka and the chicken sorretino. The portions were a nice size and fed 4 people, we even had some leftovers. The penne was just ok and I probably would not order it again. The chicken was very delicious and I would definitely recommend it. For dessert we had an Italian cheesecake which I normally do not care for but this one was absolutely delicious and highly recommended. Follow on IG...

Embarking on a culinary journey from Sicily to northern Italy, our evening at your restaurant was nothing short of enchanting. The rigatoni with broccoli, Rabe, garlic, and crumbled sausage transported us to the heart of Sicily, a culinary masterpiece. Salvatore, the owner, not only displayed remarkable culinary knowledge but also infused the evening with genuine warmth. His personal touch made the experience extraordinary. Tommy, our waiter, was not only attentive but a fountain of knowledge, ensuring our every need was met. Nick, the bus boy, quietly attended to every detail, demonstrating a commitment to excellence.

Julia, the skilled bartender, deserves accolades for her expertise in crafting delightful tequila drinks. While the decor might benefit from an update, it pales in comparison to the exceptional experience provided by the entire team. Salvatore’s dedication and friendly demeanor, combined with the staff’s meticulous attention, created a dining experience we’ll fondly remember. Your establishment is more than a restaurant; it’s a haven for those seeking not just exquisite cuisine but a true culinary journey. We would gladly traverse the distance from California again to savor the magic you’ve cultivated. Grazie mille for an...
