Molto Bene in other cities:
We went here this past Saturday. The food was great. But, the guy at the bar was obviously a regular. He was loud, obnoxious , and his behaviour was insulting to the rest of the patrons.The bar tender seemed to know him and none of the staff seemed to care about his volume and how it was percieved by the other diners.At least the kitchen staff did a great job.
Went out for dads bday tonight and being he loves Italian food that’s where we went... we ended up here after I saw it was the only 5 Star in Nassau county and that it was!! I never post reviews but figured I would let everyone know from dinner to dessert it was amazing!!This place was definitely a 5 Star... The owner hangs around, very family oriented, delicious, definitely best Italian food I have had...(yes, I’m Italian), and everything at the table was amazing and then the dessert was over the top!!!Definitely check it out don’t even waste your time looking for other places...Thanks again to the server, waiter, owner, chef, and rest of the crew for an amazing night! Dad was super happy! I like to try all the 5 Star places I can and it’s rare you get one that actually holds up to its rating but well done!!! You did it!!Thanks!!
L.I. Restaurant Week. Food and service good, dessert too small. Overall a lovely dining experience.
This place is amazing! The staff is very helpful. Gabriel our waiter was very funny and had us laughing all night. The food is very tasty & even the owner was friendly. We got a drink on house for my mothers birthday.We were seated immediately & greeted by everyone.This place has great vibes! I highly recommend!
Really delicious food and good service. We ordered the hot antipasti appetizer and it was huge. Enough for four people and was so good. Main meals were also good sized portions and really fresh and delicious. Love it that you can make a reservation. Only complaint is that it is very noisy. Hard ceiling and wood floor and the tables are kinda close. But the food and service is so good, it doesnt keep us from returning.
Someone wrote on a review and it was only one bad review I didnt take it seriously. I should have WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN, the baked clams we tough and filled of breading, the fillet of sole was mushy not firm and tender meaning NOT FRESH probably frozen, I live near the fishing community There should never be frozen fish. There service was par, not great and the only good thing was the dessert AND THAT WAS NOT MADE ON PREMISES PROBABLY BOUGHT AT COSTCO.
Best veal parm ever. Good service . reasonable prices
Amazing!!!! My family had dinner here tonight and Gabriel was our server and did an amazing job with a very attentive staff! Apps, dinner specials, you name it, it was delicious. Will definitely be back!!! Thank you for a great meal!
Was there last Saturday nite early, with four people, order a bottle of wine with some apps, we said we would order our entrees later. The manager then began to lecture us that we should order or you will have to wait up to an hour to be served, unbelievable. Food is ok, overpriced along with the wine, very cramped, will not be returning !
Phenomenal restaurant from the second we got there the service was amazing and every we ordered was delicious. A little nervous trying this place for the 1st time on New Years but they handled our party of 7 amazingly. The lamb shank was the best I ever had! I look forward to going back again to order off of the regular menu!
Friday night at 7:30. Restaurant is extremely small. Food is very good, all specials are pricey ($35) and up. They dont rush you and you can take your time. Good servers. However, it is hard to have a conversation, there is so much noise. Tables are very close together. You can hear every table conversation. I will be back but during the week.
I love this placeFriendly staffGood serviceDelicious food
Last night was our first time trying this restaurant, it my husbands birthday and our sons wants to take him somewhere great. It was by far one the most enjoyable experiences ever. The food was outstanding as was The owner and his staff who went out of their way to make it a great night We will most definately return👍🏻
I never have written a bad review for anyone before. But tonight I had the worst dining experience ever; and I eat in Mcdonalds. We were rushed, my meal was over cooked and the waiting patrons were standing on my back while I was trying to eat. We were trying to have a leisurely Saturday night dinner but couldnt. Salads were brought out immediately after ordering and before cocktails were brought. The whole dinner was rushed and they bring in too many people for the restaurant to accommodate . the noise level is too high to have a pleasant conversation as well. If I could leave 0 stars thats what I would leave. They have lost me as a customer.
This was my 2nd visit since November: The Food is really good. Seafood is always fresh. I highly recommend them.
This was a first time for us. We came for an anniversary dinner. What a pleasant surprise! The food was excellent. My wife had the branzino. Baked and deboned table side. I had the pollo molto bene. We will definitely return.
Just the other day I walked into molto bene. As we sat we were immediately greeted by the friendly owner and he really made our dinner a great experience. I did not know that on that night I would be eating the best Chicken Parmesan I have ever had, hands down. The whole evening was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.
Great service and great food. The Baked Clams were very good as was the Insalata Antipasti and Shrimp wrapped in Prosciutto. The Veal Genovese and Veal Parmigiana were both so tender you cut it with a fork. The Branzino special served whole and then filleted tableside was also amazing. Will definitely be back
I made reservations for Valentines day using Open Table. My fiance is a picky eater and the menu had a couple of things that she would eat so thats what made me choose Molto. When we showed up, they had a fixed menu for Valentines day and the only thing she would eat is the chocolate mousse desert. We asked the staff if they were willing to make a certain pasta dish from their normal menu but they declined, then we settled on a plain ravioli dish.Although the staff was very nice, I was very dissatisfied as I did not know they do a fixed menu. This was the first time we went somewhere like that. I wanted to take her out somewhere nice and have her be able to pick from a couple of dishes see would eat.
Cant say enough about Molto Bene. Food is fantastic, havent had a bad experience yet. The staff is always friendly. Its a small cozy dining room that has a great ambiance. Weve been here many times and have not had anything not right. Until next time!
Moto Bene is a quaint casual restaurant that seats about 50 people. The offer a full bar and have an extensive wine list. They do not have a cocktail menu but they if you know what you want they’ll make you anything you’d like. The food was excellent! The only thing I didn’t love was the bread was hard and not very tasty. Since we went during restaurant week they had a $29.99 pre-fixe menu. It had an option for one appetizer, one entree and a dessert option. My boyfriend choose that option and we had the bruschetta, sole w. Pasta in a red sauce and tiramisu. I had the house made black squid ink pasta with calamari, muscles, clams, shrimp and lobster tail. It was very delicious. Our bill was about $114 (we had two glasses of wine, one cocktails and our meals). I would return it was the best black squid ink pasta I’ve had.
So happy I found this restaurant on Google! Delicious! One of the best meals I have had in a long time, love this place! From the stuffed artichoke appetizer to the coffee and dessert all excellent!
Food was delicious! Service was great and Val the owner is so kind and personable.
This first looked like a great spot to eat.Food was not great potatoes were cold not worth the $$$.Only saving grace was the waiter was friendly and nice.Would no go back.
From the owner to the waitstaff to the kitchen they all want your experience tom a home run. I can tell you it is!Wonderful specials and a no rush attitude makes this little bellmore gem a must see
Love this place, reminds me of the small Italian Restaurants you would find tucked away in NYC or the original Greenwich Village. Great fun. Small bar, sometime there is a slight wait for tables, other times, no waiting.
Food and service were great! I had the veal saltimbocca and would highly recommend. Wife was very happy with her veal Parmesan. Definitely going back.
I went for the Valentines Day special and the food was amazing. Its good to be able to go to a local place with great ambiance with food and service to match. Id go back.
OMG the Absolute Best Italian on Long Island I have ate at many places from Elmont to Riverhead but a Brooklyn boy that I am someone like me growing up in household where grandma cooked all day the eggplant is to die for. The chicken Francesse melts in your mouth. The best stuffed Artichoke I’ve ever tasted the menu is old school. Escarole and beans broccoli Rabbe not bitter or can be made both ways . Yes a best kept secret to share the owner Tim just opened up 2 years ago and it’s flooded with locals from Merrick Bellmore Massapequa met a couple tonight from Bayridge whom made a reservation in December for tonight Valentine’s Day . They came for the Dover sole francesse. At 8 pm 28 people were standing waiting for a table in a place that seats 50 we were seated at 8 pm left at 915 and the line was out the door everyone was saying it’s worth a 2 hour wait. For those without reservation s.
Food and service were great! I had the veal saltimbocca and would highly recommend. Wife was very happy with her veal Parmesan. Definitely going back.
The service was awesome, the food could not be more perfect, and the bottle of wine was excellent. The perfect night out with my beautiful wife.
Small intimate Italian restaurant with excellent food choice and quality. The staff is very friends, and the long list of specials delivered eloquently by the server is fun to listen to.

2022-05-24Went here for Mothers Day. We were sat right next to the bar which was sorta annoying but I understand they were busy and thats table they had for us. Also I got the stuffed Rigatoni which was delicious but the portion was too small for me. The dessert made up for that though

2021-04-11Service was terrible for many reasons, of our 5 people at the table, 3 of us had dirty dishes and the guy caught an attitude with me when I pointed it out, but food was good and they gave us a free dessert for our troubles. So if you are ok with all those issues, try the place out because it was decent meal once we were able to find a waiter and get clean dishes.

2020-01-29I decided to visit this restaurant because of restaurant week. The food was beyond decadent our server Mario was attentive and give us excellent service and followed with great fun conversation. So was the owner. Im officially adding this restaurant as one of my most favorite. Great selection of wines. Cant wait for date night with hubby to return. The marina sauce was the best I ever tasted.

2020-10-30We had our wedding rehearsal dinner there last night for (12) people...I just woke up this morning dreaming of the lamb chops. I told my fiancé how much I enjoyed the dinner (and the service) last night and she reminded me how good her scallops oreganato (with risotto) was.It was our first time at this restaurant... we chose it because of its proximity to the Greek church we are getting married at on Saturday. I would HIGHLY recommend it. The food and service were A++. We cannot wait to return for a nice quiet night.Thank you very much for accommodating us. We appreciate it.
