Café Continental, in Manhasset, crafts sumptuous Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with a nod to classic style in its warm and relaxing restaurant. The stuffed artichoke with breadcrumbs and lemon butter sauce and the Littleneck clams on the half shell make most welcoming starters. Some of Café Continental's specialty entrée dishes include the chicken Continental stuffed with prosciutto and mozzarella in a burgundy sauce, the crab stuffed shrimp and scallops with lemon butter and white wine and the filet mignon Rossini. Hand-made pastas like the fiore ragu flower-shaped pasta in a meaty veal sauce, the vegetarian spinach ravioli in tomato basil sauce and the paglia e fieno green and white spaghetti with pancetta and peas in a gravy sauce are some of guests' favorite plates.Café Continental also offers on and off-site catering, so you can enjoy its delicious dishes at any special function you host.

    It was really crowded so we waited by the bar area got a drink first and had to stand a while until 2 seats opened up…then they sat us after our reservation time but the service was great and so was the food so worth the wait.

    This place is awesome, been going here for years. Last night I had the shrimp wrapped in bacon and the stuffed veal chop which were both outstanding. The staff is amazing and the drinks are worth the trip. It's a must for dinner when near Manhasset.

    My wife is highly allergic to garlic. The Head Waiter could not have been more understanding and double checked with the kitchen on her order to ensure no garlic whatsoever was in her order.
