Nappi's Nook — Restaurant in Town of Smithtown

We went to Nappi's Nook for the first time today for brunch. We ate inside but they do have a small outsde covered eating area. The breakfast side of the menu was varied enough for most any tastes, including some gluten free and vegan choices. Plenty of interesting choices of pancakes, waffles, croissant plates in the bread choices, along with egg and meat dishes and the lighter side, even a kids menu.

However we were there for pancake and waffles and all these choices took us 10 or more minutes to decide on they were all so delicious sounding. In the end I got the Apple pie pancake and my husband ordered the Berrylicious waffle. I received 2 fluffy pancakes that took up the entire plate! We measured them (I couldn't finish and took home half) and they were 8 inches wide. Cinnamon apples on top with whipped cream and Cinnamon syrup drizzle with apples in the pancakes. Delicious! The waffle was large and perfectly browned with whipped cream, raspberry syrup and a side bowl of mixed berry compote. Also delicious. Very reasonable prices all around.

All this in addition to the wonderful service by Abigail who was personable, efficient and patient as we pondered over the menu. We will definitely be back and in fact are planning on reviewing the lunch choices online as we hardly looked them over while there.

I do have one quibble and that was the wood chairs need a good thick and firm cushion as they were very low. We had to switch seats so i could sit on the bench. On the chair my 5 foot 2 frame sat so low I looked and felt like a child. Even my 6 foot husband was seated fairly low.

Other than that we loved...

Where do I begin.... walked into a crowded breakfast rush on a Saturday morning but was still greeted with the friendliest smile from the hostess. My wife and I were invited to sit at the bar to avoid the wait. Were we glad we did. Jeanne behind the bar was upbeat, funny, and amazingly on top of everything despite the place being super busy. When we tasted the food, it was obvious why they were packed. I had the short ribs Benedict. I'm pretty sure that could be my final meal choice if I ever find myself on death row! Beyond good! The presentation, the flavor profiles, the serving size, all combined to make for the best breakfast I've had in years! My wife fell in love with a specialty coffee that Jeanne made her that looked more like a dessert and tasted every bit as good as one! As busy as they were the owners still came out, checked on every table, got the whole place to sing happy birthday to a young lady who was there with her family. I genuinely can't say enough. Let me say that the atmosphere, the service, the selection and the food were all in perfect symphony with each other! Bravo Jason, Stephen and Jeanne! You all are food super heros and making every guest feel welcomed is obviously your super power! Cannot wait to go back on our next trip up to Long Island. Do not miss a chance to eat at this spot! I guarantee you that you will be...

The staff was extraordinarily attentive and kind. Food was scrumptious. The whole dining experience was delightful and homey. What a treasure we have found! We will be returning regularly, Yum! 12/16- third visit since the initial review. I could express how delicious the food is but I want to share more. This family-run business treats its employees very well. One can tell that by the joyful spirit they present in assisting the patron. They try to go beyond their prescribed duties and entice return business. The continuity of exceptional dishes and service makes this restaurant our new regular. Accolades to the owners for valuing their staff. Your staff is your best asset and it appears to me that you truly value every one of them! Great restaurant, with great service and a genuinely happy environment! Wish you years of prosperity under your very successful business model- employees can make a business! Thank you, it’s a pleasure to...
