Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Northport

I recently dined at Osteria Umbra, an Italian-inspired restaurant that promises an experience of rustic elegance combined with hearty, perfectly cooked meats. The ambiance strikes a wonderful balance between sophisticated and cozy: dim lighting, exposed brick, and antique wood paneling give the place a warm, inviting feel, while the flicker of candlelight on each table adds a romantic touch. There’s an Italian charm to the space, yet it still feels like a true Italian steakhouse in all the right ways.

Best Italian dinner on Long Island, meatballs to veal to gelato....

The Lake House was wonderful! The food and wine were delicious and everything arrived to the table in a timely manner, without the feeling of being rushed. The service was attentive but not intrusive. Overall an amazing experience!

We absolutely loved your afternoon tea. The sandwiches were delicious! My favorite was the beet and goat cheese. I am not a truffle lover, but I did enjoy the egg salad sandwich with a hint of truffles. It was not overdone, it was just right. I loved the scones, especially with the fig jam and clotted cream. I prefer savory over sweets at an afternoon tea. I find many places do far too many sweets. You had just enough to complement the sandwiches. If I may, I would like to suggest the addition of Darjeeling to your teas. They do call it the King of Teas, after all. It is very different from English Breakfast and Earl Grey, both of which are blended teas. I feel Darjeeling would really complement your lovely afternoon tea. Thank you for a lovely afternoon, Sincerely, Lorraine Pagano

We were greeted at the door and seated immediately. The ambiance was natural and magically perfect! The food arrived fairly quickly, fresh and tasty. The staff are all friendly and we didn’t feel pressured to leave. The cafe is situated within a beautiful store setting which works great in my opinion. I purchased nice faux candles in the store section before leaving. I can honestly say we had a wonderful time walking around and looking at all the items and plantings they had available before leaving. Would I recommend this restaurant? Absolutely!!!
