Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Melville

Seated promptly. Water, menus and bread appeared immediately. Very mild mannered, sweet and efficient waitress. Owner Dennis came to every table several times to check on the customers. No complaints from anyone. All the dishes came out perfectly. I’ve been to Matteo’s many times before and will be back again!

Shared the lamb chops and they were terrific—also shared the sliders for an app-and was even better than usual- a real Testarossa treat.. we shared a flourless chocolate cake w/chocolate mousse was the perfect ending

Great food , and service . our waiter Kenny just outstanding ,a true professional , friendly,always checking that all is ok. Bar tender Fonzie also friendly and recommended some cocktails that were delicious . So far this place is a winner.A must go to.

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate our anniversary and we had the best experience. Bobby and Iffy were our waiters and were so kind and quick. The food was amazing, as always. The service was impeccable. We really felt cared for. I also appreciate the suggestions and help from Iffy when we were indecisive on what to order, he steered us in the right direction. Really appreciate the care and quality of service we received. Will definitely be returning!

This was another phenomenal experience at Rare. Multiple staff members checked in to see if we needed anything throughout our dining experience (including the general manager, Cliff). We sat right across from the bar in a large booth. The cocktails, appetizers, entrees, sides and desserts we had were all high quality. They even gave us complimentary limoncello after dessert! We will certainly be back soon. This restaurant has valet parking, price fixed menus available and also offers private event space.
