La Ginestra - NY

It’s always great. Yummy food. Excellent service.

Always consistent delicious food. Owner Enzo and Gus always welcoming and accommodating to any dietary needs.

Our reservation was honored right on time. The restaurant was very busy-not an empty table-but service was gracious, prompt & non-obtrusive. Food was absolutely delicious. Was a little noisier than our last visit because it was so busy but we were in a lovely corner table and you could still have a conversation without raising your voice. Tables are well spaced. Excellent dining experience. We have been there before and will definitely be back.

Always great!
We always arrive a bit early to relax and enjoy a cocktail before going to the table. Wonderful service.
My favorite appetizer is Carpachio of Salmon, topped with fresh cheese over shredded greens.
Entrie whether pasta, poultry, beef, veal or fish all great anyway you order.
Great wines, espresso and biscotti.
Super servers. 5 Star!

Always get a delicious meal there. The service is amazing

This place has been showing up on the Open Table email recommendations so I figured I’d give it a try. First off they made me wait 15 minutes to seat me. The acoustics and noise were piercing The food was mediocre at best and was overpriced for the quality The place is also right out of central casting for the Sopranos but I can assure your Artie Buco is not the chef The bartender was equally as unremarkable too. Pass on this place.

Charming place. Great mix of food and service. We will be back.

From start to finish, an absolutely fantastic evening! Atmosphere, service and most importantly the food were at the absolute highest level! One of the best restaurants on Long Island!

Great food and very good service

All good - food was delicious , service was great. This is what we always expect and what we’ve always received

BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT ON LONG ISLAND
My wife, friends and I have be going to La Ginestra for years. The food has always been excellent. Last night the dinner for four was superb. My friend had the Pollo Scarpariello. Not only did he say it was the best Scarpariello that had ever had, but also said "I finally know how this dish should taste." I had the Zuppa di Pesce. The seafood was perfectly cooked. My wife is always a fan of the Insalata di Long Island and the Linguine con Vongole. Gus is always there to greet you with a smile, a handshake and there to say goodnight. Julie is one of the hardest working waitress I have ever seen. She is always sweet and she makes certain that the food arrives promptly .
La Ginestra, is without question the best Italian restaurant on Long Island.

You feel like you're in the city at a real Italian restaurant and not a Long Island knock-off

This was the first time we went to this restaurant and enjoyed it very much. Will return.

took my wife for her birthday on a wednesday night, we were greeted at the door cordially by the owner Enzo and a wonderful evening commenced. we started with vokda martinis, a wonderful full pour, next a special eggplant lasagna, excellent. my wife's dover sole superb, and my veal chop perfectly cooked excellent. but desert, a home made napoleon, the best. attentive but not intrusive wait staff. all in all a great dining experience

We love this restaurant. The service, food and ambiance are always fantastic.

Valentines Day. Waiters did very well to keep up with the crowd. Love this place! Owner very attentive!

Always the best!!

Never misses a best even on Valentine’s day service and food were both outstanding

Outstanding ... it was our first time to the restaurant and everything was amazing...the food, service, wine, etc. We will return and share our experience with our family, friends and colleagues.

Awesome. The service and food was outstanding.

La Ginestra is one of our favorites. We come back time and time again, sometimes for weeks on end, just because everything they serve is delicious, beautifully presented and professionally done. We always feel at home and are never disappointed. We were there Saturday night and plan to return with friends this coming Saturday night.

We used to live relatively close by, and now travel nearly 30 miles each way to continue to enjoy this wonderful place. Need I say more??

Have dined here several times and it has been good
On my most recent visit we placed our order and one hour later still did not have our food inquired with server she flippantly said it was being plated. The people across from us had appetizers and mains before we finally got our appetizer. We waited another 40 minutes before telling her to cancel our main and bring check. She said there would be no charge however the owner on the way out said “sorry the waitress messed up and didn’t put
Your order in”
That to me is WRONG as a business owner you never throw your staff under the bus. You apologize for the bad experience and ask the people to come back another time (on them) to attempt to save the customers business.
Bad move on the part of this restaurant. Will never go back again

The food,service and the ambience are almost perfect on a weekday night. I have eaten here many times and every dish is perfect. This is one of the great restaurants in Nassau Countu

Excellent restaurant! We loved it-it’s always fantastic

Great place

Le Ginestra is a fabulous restaurant for any occasion. I’ve been there for many of them and I’ve been going there for 30 years, never a bad meal. The attention to keeping customers happy in every way has been something I’ve experienced all this time! I will continue to go to my favorite place and hopefully it will be for many more years to come! Good Luck

Wonderful evening. Dinner was outstanding. The dishes we ordered were prepared perfectly. Service was courteous responsive and attentive

We went to dinner on Friday evening and had four fantastic dinners. Everyone had a different meal. I had the grilled veal rib chop and it was done to perfection. Everyone else enjoyed their meals without complaint. It was not an inexpensive restaurant.
