We used to go to Mio Posto in Oceanside and Long Beach when they were open and always enjoyed our many dinners there - this was our first time at the Merrick location. When we entered the restaurant, we immediately noticed to the right a very long (30 feet?) granite bar and to the left is the dining room - both with a soaring ceilings making the rooms to appear very large. It is smartly appointed, warm, inviting and classy. There is also a large and bright party room to the back and on the left from where we entered. For appetizer, we had baked clams, fried zucchini and tomato mozzarella salad. All were good and tasty. Then, we shared penne alla vodka - excellent! For dinner, we had Norwegian salmon, eggplant Parmagiana, chicken Marsala, and chicken Francese - plentiful and delicious. We were so full we skipped dessert and only ordered coffee. The service was OK, not great, as the waiter was very busy and seemed confused as to who ordered which dinner, and the busboy who was moving so quickly almost hit my face when removing plates and glasses from the table. It hard to park but there's the Long Island railroad station down the block and another lot across the street behind the stores. If you to Mio Posto - enjoy - overall, it's a very good restaurant, and the food is delicious and excellent.
Food was amazing Forgetaboutit , service was fast and very attentive to the clients that walk in. Very happy I went In to check it out. Ambiance is very friendly and definitely recommend this place.
Great restaurant located on Merrick Ave in Merrick NY. The Veal Cutlet Parmigiana is very tender and the pasta is made fresh. Nice ambiance and a great bar too!
My wife had gone here before and raved about the food and atmosphere. I joined her on a Saturday evening, and we had a great time. They had a DJ spinning some good music which wasn't overly loud. Their drink menu was decent, I had the coffee old fashion, wife had the spicy margarita. The food came out quickly and was delicious. Cooked perfectly as well. Server was attentive and informative on the specials and anything we would decide to substitute. Will def return!
Tried some new things when we returned, meatballs app and delicious Caesar salad. I tried the veal Francese again, ordered without the cheese and it was much better over the capellini. I think my first experience dish was a fluke. Didn't try the artichoke again, maybe soon !
