This "hidden neighborhood gem", never disappoints, service is always spot on, and the food is off the charts....... make sure you order a pizza, as one of your appetizers.....
My favorite restaurant all the staff are excellent from the waiter's to the busboy's the pizza is great. The meals every time we have been there are the best. We have eaten just the two of us and been with party of 12 excellent as always. Thank you Jeff Brooks
We just had another amazing dinner.
The best food and service in New York. Never had a bad meal. Been back many times. I had short ribs and polenta We had rice balls and zucchini ravioli and buffalo pizza for appetizer. All was amazing I very rarely enjoy Italian food out but I love their food. Tina is lovely always greets you with a warm smile. Love to chat with her and Guy. Great experience. Don't miss it.
Amazing environment! Great staff! Delicious food and even provides vegan options! Everyone can enjoy a great meal and a good time here.
Honestly, I am not a fan of mushrooms and calamari, but La Pala has converted me to these wonderful foods. The mushrooms in the appetizer seriously changed my life. The creativity of the chef bring these food to their true potential. I also had the margarita pizza which was phenomenal!
Impeccable service. Experienced chefs preparing top tier modern Italian. Wood fired brick oven pizza is great shareable appetizer, bar snack or satisfying yet light meal. Tiramisu is irresistible. Interior design tastefully invokes a cozy grotto.
Absolutely perfection. By far the best food in Glen Cove . Rib eye steak, short ribs , charred octopus amazing . Everything that we ordered was perfect . Good service, atmosphere nice . It’s a perfect place for a good 5 star meal at a very good price . Every time we come here , food is amazing. Highly recommend.
Ordered the margarita pizza with garlic n fresh tomatoes.
Yowza!
They do pizza right here!
Chewy thin crust.
Super fresh ingredients.
Astonishing.
Friendly employee on the phone and at the bar.
The place is a bit hidden so you have to look for it.
Will return.
Can’t wait!
This was the closest thing to the food we've eaten in Italy, truly outstanding. The spaghetti with clams was fantastic, nice wine selection, and the entire atmosphere felt like we were back in Napoli. This place is totally underrated, and if we had known how amazing it was we would've been here a lot sooner!! Will definitely be back
Came here on a Sunday evening, and the service was perfect from the start. Erin, our waitress, saw us unloading a stroller in the parking lot and immediately asked us how big a table we’d need. When we got in the restaurant, the table was already prepped with kids’ cups, and the whole place smelled amazing.
I knew it was going to be good because they brought out warm, delicious focaccia.Everything we ate was delicious and reasonably priced. I especially recommend the mushroom risotto, the homemade rigatoni, and the tiramisu. I would definitely return if I came back to Glen Cove. Don’t miss this place if you’re in the area!
Relatively Small portion size for the money they charge. This place is perfect if you are trying reduce weight. Every time I am hungry after completing appetizer and main course, so I have to order dessert and coffee. Many times coffee is little rustic and old. Very stingy owner.
The food is wonderful ! I hope that more people find out about this tucked away restaurant. It is a bit hard to find at first and only knew about it from a friend.
The only downside to my experience is the female waitress who works there. I found her to be a bit rude and overbearing, as she made inappropriate comments. I feel that her behavior takes away from the experience. In my opinion, she not be working at this kind of establishment. She seems to fit more in a bar.
I had to rate less than 5 stars only because of her.
Went here tonight after bayville scream park and sat outside (wearing puffy coats). We both had risotto - it was seriously delicious. The service was super quick & people who work here are lovely. There’s a ton of outdoor seating for the covid paranoid like me (no heaters but not necessary just yet). Billy Joel & Elton John in the background. We will be back.
I am giving a 4 star rating because all three people with me really enjoyed thier meal. I however did not. I ordered a clam linguini special which really had no seasoning- no garlic, etc.
Would I go back? Yes. Since everyone else had a great meal I am assuming this was an anomaly.
The staff was great and attentive.
The pizzas looked great.
A great surprise at the back of the building. Outdoor seating, fantastic food and great service. Definitly worth checking out. I'd be a regular if I still lived in the area. Food to go also available. Great menu!
Great food. Amazing pizza. Love this little local gem. Only thing keeping it from 5 stars would be the noise. But, hey that's a good sign of them drawing in the local crowd. Definitely a great place to frequent.
Very fresh seafood. I found pretty much all ingredients to be fresh and being high quality. They are not skimming you on high quality products and that is noticeable by low amount of sauces, oils, salt and pepper added to the food which are usually added to masm mediocre quality food. Prices are reasonable. Place is clean and well looked after. Staff are professional, but they are trying way too hard to accomodate you. Overall this is a great restaurant to go to.
Enjoyed a very nice take out dinner tonight. Being at home all day gardening I wore myself out! so it was a perfect choice to order from their family style takeout menu. I ordered the veal Marsala, house salad and mashed potatoes. Everything was hot and beautifully prepared. The tiramisu is waiting for us as I write this and know that it will be just as good as it is when we dine in. Please support La Pala during this crisis. We will get to the other side and be stronger!
Delightful find tucked away in Glen Cove. Warm and cozy with a friendly staff. Food is fine dining quality at an affordable price. I never had a bad meal and have been there 8 times.
Savory no frills Italian food with large portions, kind and friendly staff and outdoor eating is available. Family style pick up is also a real bargain. Will return soon
The place is very comfortable, nice parkin lot, the employees wear uniform very clean and always smiling. The food it's so delicious, warm, good variety the dishes on the menu.I recommend any one to try also the drinks and the desserts.
Food is absolutely delicious!!!! We had a family party here and it was great!! Staff is friendly and very attentive. I can honestly recommend!!!
