Osteria Morini Long Island 630 Old Country Road, Garden City, NY 11530

"Waitress was really kind and the saving grace. Hostess were completely unfriendly and cold. The bartender was a complete mess. We attempted to sit at the bar for dinner but the area was covered in plates and cups from the previous group there. My husband stayed at the bar while I went to wash my hands. When we returned the area was cleaned off. He then told me he had to move the dishes himself since he asked the bartender to and he just walked away without helping or cleaning it himself. We showed up at 9pm, the entire space looked as if it was closed. The food was okay. The waitress was the only real positive."

"Atmosphere is wonderful and service was good. Mafalde ribbon pasta was freshly made and texture of pasta is great. Shrimp can be better quality and overall it was ok. Calamari was way overcooked and spicy pomodoro had no taste."

"Great Italian restaurant. Hidden Gem on long island which has a plethora of Italian restaurants. The pasta is so fresh and tasty. Well thought out dishes. The staff is friendly and will explain the menu. I definitely recommend to try it out. The gnocchi was so soft and comforting."

"After a long day, in the city, we decided to have dinner here at the mall, and the service was the best part about the whole experience. Our waitress was attentive, and very kind. We all enjoyed our meals and especially when they put the bread out, it was crispy,warm and dipping it in their homemade olive oil was delicious. (chefs kiss!) Small portions never hurt anybody but I wouldn’t know the difference between regular and child size. Only complaint."

"Last nights dinner was lovely. Ordered the ‘Fall 57’ cocktail which was delicious. We started with the Arancini. So good and tossed with sauce and grated cheese. For my main I had the gnocchi with pesto and artichoke. It was well done but I didn’t care for the red pepper flakes. Kinda wished I had ordered the tagliatelle Bolognese. We finished with an incredible dessert ‘nocciola’. Hazelnut mouse with chocolate drizzle. Really enjoyed our meal and loved the plates and decor. It was a bit cold though and service was good. They gave us a card to have a free appetizer with our next visit. That was a nice touch. Will definitely come back."
