This hidden gem has become the go to spot for me and my seven year old son. We had the Pizza alla parmigiana, the margherita pizza, both were SOOOO delicious. On other occasions we tried the meatballs, the chicken parmigiana and salad. The mocktails are amazing as well. My favorite is the lychee mojito and my son loves the blue lagoon. The rose Martini was ok. George appears shy or timid, but he's super sweet and provides great service. My son never forgot his name. I highly recommend this place

George is just a chill dude 😅 what some would consider timid but he is good! He recommended great options and held great convo. I had the paperdelle pasta (great) and the cacio w/chicken parm on top (light, buttery and great). Also the rice balls for appetizers. 10/10 EVERYTHINGGGGG oh and the lychee mojito is a musttttttt.

The pizza, the seafood pasta, and burger was magnificent! It’s a great neighborhood restaurant. George is so kind, he convinced me to try the pizza and I’m happy he did.also mocktail was 10/10.

This restaurant knows good flavor! The staff service quality is exceptional. The meals are exceptional without being expensive. The restaurant lives up to advance billing. The local scene is enhanced by this restaurant.

I just had my first lunch here today after seeing several post on social media about this place. It looks like right now they are still not doing indoor dining, which is fine. The little "pods" outside are super cute, clean and very warm. The food and service is really good as well. The only issue (which is not major) is that they don't serve any alcohol. The menu looks limited, but the prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be back again!

Love that they serve halal meat for certain dishes (ask about it). Pasta was super tasty and a good portion size. Service was also great and super friendly staff!! Would definitely go here again.

Definitely a must try !  Very hospitable staff , they  were able to do substitute couple items and stuff . Food is partially Halal. Great Italian Restaurant in Westbury with nice ambiance.

Food was probably the worst I had on Long Island. We ordered the salmon Bianca, ribeye, risotto, eggplant rolattini. Salmon and risotto were uncooked and the fish had a really weird smell. We didn’t want to argue because we had a small baby so basically didn’t eat most of the food, paid the bill and left. I cannot recommend this place to anyone . I have had better Italian food from dominos and will recommend you stay away. I do want to add that service was good and servers were very nice.

We spontaneously needed a party room for April or May and were left with a few dates in both months as it is the season of communions, baptisms, etc. We went for dinner to try the food and see if we could build the menu for our guests. The service here was very good, all the staff were polite and friendly. We started out with Moscow Mules and they were decently made. The basket of warmed up Italian and pizza breads on the table was eh, okay, but just very doughy. The baked clams were nothing to write home about by any means, fried calamari was not very good at all and the sauce it comes with was so bland 😩 Bacon wrapped shrimp was nicely cooked but the accompanying sauce seemed very mayo heavy, and could have used a little more dijon to conrast the bacon. Eggplant rollatini was pretty good, too. I was excited to try the Marylynn salad, which we asked to be made with romaine lettuce only, and they had no issue accommodating us. The salad itself was very nice, but it was topped with a creamy mayo based dressing? In the description, I believe it's made with an orange vinaigrette, but this was not orange and had no acidity whatsoever. Finally, for our entree, we ordered the Chicken Toscana, and it just wasn't for me. The chicken breast seemed a bit hard, and the eggplant and sauce on top wasn't very good. The fontina cheese didn't seem to work with the other ingredients, in our opinion. I did like the side of potatoes and vegetables. That was cooked very well and tasted delicious.
Before leaving we asked to see the party room. We were told there were private bathrooms but it looked like the main bathroom in the hallway was what they were referring to. The owners daughter was very nice and accommodating with anything we asked about. I do feel that the pictures online give a different impression, as the room was very small and there were a couple of ceiling tiles that were hanging and noticeable. Overall, we booked this place and were going to remain committed, but we found ourselves asking for our deposit back due to unforseen events. In hindsight, I am kind of happy that we had to cancel our party here, it just wasn't the impression I wanted to leave my guests with after the fact.

Tesoro Ristorante is a gemma! From the moment we sat down, the service was impeccable. They brought out warm, fresh bread with butter and extra virgin olive oil—such a great start.

For appetizers, we had the Burrata, and it was incredible—creamy, fresh, mozzarella ball, and paired perfectly with the accompanying flavors, veggies and sauce. For mains, we tried the Chicken Sorrantino, Basilico, and Ribeye Steak, and each dish was cooked to perfection. The flavors were rich, the portions were generous, and everything came out surprisingly fast without compromising quality.

The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a date night or even an anniversary dinner. The price point is absolutely worth it for the quality of food and service. Will definitely be coming back again!

We have some halal menu items including chicken, ribeye steak, filet mignon and lamb. Please ask ask a member of staff for details when ordering.

The folks at Eataly have created a unique and interesting greenhouse space on their roof that functions as a restaurant, called Amalfi and its current iteration. There are some lovely fake trees with lemons that decorate the space and create a welcoming vibe. Unfortunately, we felt that the prices were very high for what you get, which was mid quality pasta, and small portions. Drinks are fully priced, appetizers are fully priced and while the spaces unique, you are not getting any spectacular views. We had a small group of five people, and we each had one drink, it ended up costing us $75 per person with three shared appetizers among the table. I had low expectations going in, and those expectations were met.

Very charming atmosphere like dining in a garden but its actually indoor greenhouse space. Food is kinda tasty but its a little steep for the portions.

Probably its just a one time experiences only. Great for group tho.

Great atmosphere, prices are on par with other places near by, and good service! Went to the bar area and was happy with the experience. Fun, great drinks. Had a few appetizers which were great, nothing spectacular but still was good!

No bar wait time on Friday night to get table or seat, but there were times it got busy in the bar area.

I would like to come back for dinner and try an entree!

It was my first time at Amalfi and they said it would be a 90min wait but we could wait by the bar. There was actually a high top available as soon as we got there. Service was very good. We ordered calamari which was yummy and the tiramisu was excellent. I definitely would not recommend their tomato based oysters, several shells didn’t open up and it just did not taste good.

We came on this past weekend and met the pop up of “AMALFI”, prefect location of Flatiron’s roof top. Love the decor of lemon everywhere. Totally Italian country side style. Took the brunch menu, all the dishes with zest of lemon.

Only the Creekstone Farms flatiron steak is Halal. You can ask for it to be cooked on a clean grill.
