    The food is outstanding. Creative and flavorful. The wild boar was a special and fantastic. The smoked scallops on the regular menu is such an amazing dish, a must try. Also really loved the crispy baby artichokes-definitely get it with the prosciutto.

    We went Valentine's Day, when owner Carlo put up a fixed price menu. There was a good choice of options in all three courses, however also a $15 up-charge for the braised beef short ribs, which is always a great dish, but I thought was somewhat pricey. I opted for the pork chop, which was pounded flat then fried, with a salad on top. Very tasty. For dessert we shared the always fabulous Napoleon,, and took the second dessert home to enjoy the following day, since we were very full. The service from David, Armando, Alex, and Carlo's son Brandon was flawless. The restaurant just celebrated their 45th year in business, and are now the longest open restaurant in Glen Cove. Highly recommended.
