La Ginestra Restaurant

Had dinner here several times last week with Bayville Rotary. Simply said amazing again, today going with my children five of us. Over the top food. Looking forward to a wonderful meal I’m very sure of. Julie one of the servers amazing service bar nothing great gal.

Very good the food was excellent the service was excellent it was enjoyable

Warm elegant multi regional Italian cuisine served by an efficient and welcoming staff. String Italian focused wine list with excellent offerings by the glass, especially the Randall Monroe Pinot Noir.

We had the most fabulous meal last night for a party of 13. Every person’s meal was perfect, the service was impeccable, Manny our server was especially talented. Can’t wait to return! Don’t miss it. Thank you for taking such good care of us.

Excellent Italian restaurant. Food and service are always good.

Nice place. Cozy

Always great! Enzo and Gus know how to get it done. Food great, atmosphere always hopping!

Another fantastic dinner at our favorite restaurant. Perfect way to end the year

Best place to eat in Glen Cove

An exceptional dining experience. Each course better than the one before, and not too expensive for the quality of the food.

Best food service around the Short balled guy is great

We called and they stayed open late for Ross's birthday. Julie (100% five star service) recommended we start with the clams and the fresh made that day pasta. Both were off the charts amazing. Our group had the chicken, veal and Bronzino and the fish was some of the best I have ever tasted.Thank you guys. The only thing better than the food was the attitude and service of the staff. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Happy birthday Ross, hope you enjoyed your first night in NY. Now for the presents.

Food was incredible and wait staff was friendly and attentive, but the environment was noisy and made it difficult to have a conversation. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a a quiet, intimate spot for a romantic dinner.

Unbelievably consistent delicious food

Always great food and service! Love this restaurant, a must.

Good Italian food, management needs improvement.

We love eating out. Yesterday we found this delicious place which friends recommended to us. We spent a lovely evening there with excellent cooking and a courteous crew and a professional chef. We put this restaurant in our list and we will definitely go again very soon. We highly recommend.

Great nofthern Italian fare. Service is great. One of the owners seats you and offers to get you drinks from bar. I highly recommend it.

Delicious Italian food.

Loved the food. Will definitely go back. Great afternoon with "Experience Sicily".

Outstanding!

I really enjoyed their food. I always get great customer service here. The place is always clean and the cashiers are always super nice. Will visit here again.

Wish went here years ago. Excellent

Super disappointing. Thought it would be 5 star, but overpriced and mediocre. For an early dinner, our server was scattered and rushed and while apps came in no time, entrees took close to an hour to come. Dessert was the best part.

What’s all the hype about?? We THOUGHT we were going to enjoy a 5-star dinner for our anniversary, but instead we received 2-star food quality. The owner greeted and seated us, which was nice, but the waitress was pushy for us to order tons of food. My pasta dish was fishy smelling and tasting and my fiance’s Pesto Pasta was over-flavored and sticky. We left our table hungry, dissatisfied and $70 poorer for 2 bowls of pasta and 2 salads. Keep driving and hit the local pizza restaurant instead of wasting your resources here.

Cozy Italian restaurant with amazing food and service!

Good food, good service and a nice wine list. Go for one of the veal dishes

This restaurant is unquestionably one of the coolest restaurants in the region. Always when I come there I am exceedingly satisfied. They always keep their high standard service and the topmost level of dishes they serve. You are always happy with this restaurant. Warmly recommended.

Great menu and selection, went with a party of 10 and everything from appetizers to desserts was very good..Will go back.

Excellent food, impeccable service (thank you Julie and Jose), welcoming management. A gem!

Food is amazing. Service is fantastic. I've never had any issues here. Except this past Saturday, we were told that the restaurant was really backed up on reservations and we really needed to order now. I was very taken back by that. That wasn't so cool. While, tge last member of our party was 15 minutes late and we did wind up ordering a half hour after our reservation time, I am still shocked that we were made to order. That never happened to me before. It will be awhile before I go back, at least on a Saturday night.

Fabulous food and excellent service.Four of us went out for a birthday dinner here. They have an extensive number of specials and we ordered that way. All were very happy with their selection. The desserts were great as well. I can certainly recommend the Osso Bucco and Napolean! It can be on the noisy side so if you are looking for a quiet meal, it would probably be better to go a little on the early side.
