This authentic Italian restaurant is a true gem! From the moment you walk in, you can tell everything is thoughtfully prepared and made with care. One of the highlights is definitely the homemade pasta — it’s perfectly chewy, full of flavor, and you can taste the difference in every bite. It’s the kind of pasta that makes you slow down and savor. Our family dined upstairs, and we appreciated that the second floor is accessible with an elevator — a nice touch for families or anyone who needs it. The space was cozy yet elegant, perfect for a relaxed meal or a special night out. We started with the zucchini calamari fries and the chopped salad. Both were fresh and flavorful, and the zucchini calamari fries were a fun twist on a classic appetizer — crispy, light, and not greasy at all. The chopped salad was a great balance to the richness of the meal. The standout dish for us was the Rigatoni Rocco. It was exceptionally good — rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. It’s the kind of dish you think about long after the meal is over. We left full, happy, and already talking about when we’ll be back. Highly recommend this spot for anyone who loves real Italian cooking!

Alessandro's is hands-down the best Italian restaurant in NY. The homemade pastas are incredible-fresh, authentic, and give you a real taste of Italy. Every dish on the menu is excellent, from the meats and seafood to the wide variety of appetizers. The quality is consistently top-notch, the flavors are rich and traditional, and the portions are generous. The drinks and wine selection are also fantastic. If you're looking for a true Italian dining experience, Alessandro's is the place. This was my 3rd time dining here and can't wait to return. Highly recommend!

Great experience at Alessandro's! We stopped in on a busy Sunday night without a reservation. The hostess, Iris, was so kind and made recommendations while we waited with a drink to sit at the bar. Once we sat we were helped by Robert and Jose, who were equally accommodating. We started with the artichoke salad appetizer, which was incredible and perfectly balanced with the grilled vegetables and goat cheese. We also tried the eggplant appetizer, equally delicious. For entrees, my husband had the bucatini carbonara- which was creamy, smoky, and full of flavor! One of the few places that make it the traditional way with guanciale and egg yolk and NO cream. I had the tagliatelle bolognese, the pasta was perfectly cooked and the sauce rich and flavorful. Topped with a heaping scoop of freshly grated Parmesan. Would absolutely order all of these dishes again! We were also eager to try the tiramisu for dessert, which was recommended, but were too stuffed! Will definitely be back! I also saw that they have homemade gluten free pasta, which I didn't not try but definitely sent to a friend who is gluten free!

Where do I start? We were assisted with making a reservation for 6 over the phone. The staff are very attentive. They constantly refill water cups, refill bread and ask if anything is needed. They are polite and respectful. They even cracked a few jokes with us! The owner Alessandro is a gentleman and takes the time to greet people too. The food was delicious (I got a Parmigiana) and it was a huge portion of chicken! I was really surprised to get so much for the price. The sauce was perfect and the food really pleases that thirst for flavor. My favorite part was the dessert! (I am biased here lol) We got the Tiramisu and the Souffle. (See image) It was soooooooo good! I will definitely return and recommend Alessandro's Italian to my friends and coworkers.

5 stars all the way. Excellent Calamari Arrabiata, Black Linguine Feutti Di Mare. Dessert is very good as well. A regular visit restaurant. Suggest to go there super early like 5:30pm 6pm to avoid long waiting online. Good restaurant usually has long wait time.

Everything we had at our table of 5 was fantastic. Apps we shared: calamari & zucchini fritti and an order of grilled octopus. The octopus was exceptionally well done! Unfortunately, 4 of us ordered the carbonara, which will limit the review of other entrees. We were told by our dining partners that it was that good and it truly was. My husband had the cacio pepe, which I had to taste and this dish was also great. The pasta in both dishes had a nice chew...creamy perfection. We also shared desserts, a melt-in-your-mouth tiramisu, a chocolate souffle, and a lemon sherbet. I would get the tiramisu on our next visit. Should you have a chance to dine here, do so...your taste buds will thank you. Reservations suggested.

Unique, delicious, special. This is a really superb restaurant. From the little bowl of olives and 3 kinds of homemade breads/foccacio, the food here is memorable and delicious. The pasta is fresh and homemade. It's amazing. The food is made to order and they were very accommodating to my (annoying) lactose intolerance. Our second time here tonight and our friends LOVED the food! The pastas are off the chart terrific. No one wanted dessert until we learned the ricotta cheesecake was homemade. They were raving about how delicious it was so I took a teeny taste and it was truly spectacular. (I had a 2nd taste and it was worth the lactose!) Our second meal here was even more enjoyable than the first time. The fried artichoke appetizer with sautéed wild mushrooms over arugula (with the goat cheese on the side for me) was amazing. The guys got the octopus appetizer and it was perfectly cooked. The pastas - wow. They modified the linguini with clams for me and it had a perfect blend of spicy "something" with the clams - I've never had anything like it before. My husband helped me finish it and he thought it was the best he's ever had. Everyone was really happy with their meal. This place is special! Tons of parking behind, easy to get to on Northern Boulevard, a long staircase when you enter to go upstairs, a nice bar which my husband and I had our first meal at. You need a reservation here, in advance, and if you're a party of 4 you need to leave a credit card so if you don't show up you will be charged. It's a very small place and it's in demand. Believe me, you want to show up - the food is crazy good! Plan in advance, reserve a table, and buckle up - it's a wonderful and DELICIOUS experience! ☆☆☆☆☆

Our first time here and our meal was superb! For appetizers we had the grilled artichokes. Stuffed clams. Beet salad and calamari. One was better then the next! The salad and the artichokes were prepared with the most amazing burrata cheese! Our pasta dishes were also excellent! Pepe and caccio was my favorite. Dinner entrees were plentiful and also very flavorful! Even though we were overstuffed, we had to have the apple d sweet and gelato! The staff as very attentive and friendly. Sandro was a pleasure to meet and takes very good care of you! Make a reservation ASAP!

The most recent time I had dinner at Alessandro's was probably the best... it was difficult to get a reservation but it they still accommodated us at the last minute w/ the stipulation that we had to be finished with the table by a certain time for another reservation, which was fine. My only complaint about the evening is that the hostess was extremely unfriendly- when you work with the public that shouldn't happen. Anyway, onto more positivity! The wait staff was attentive and the owner stopped by once or twice to make sure everything was ok. The renovated decor is contemporary. The food was delicious- our table ordered the eggplant Siciliano and the chopped salad- both so good. For main dishes we ordered chicken parm - the pasta it came with was cooked al dente - perfecto! We also had the black linguine with seafood and fra diavola sauce, as well as the tagliatelle bolognese - both excellent. The pasta is made fresh daily and although the prices aren't cheap, the portions are quite generous and well worth it.

I had high expectations based on Yelp reviews, but it was just OK. Knowing that one of us has a gluten allergy, they served us warm gluten free bread, which was very nice compared to other gluten free bread that we've had at other establishments--the crust was crispy while the white part no soft and moist. We had the montepulciano by the glass, and really enjoyed it. We shared the crispy artichoke salad, which was pretty good. The artichoke was tender and cooked perfectly, albeit not really "crispy". We then had the bucatini with clams and Lumache Pugliese (sweet sausage with broccoli rabe and garlic) made with house made gluten free rigatoni. The house made rigatoni was better than most dried box gluten free pasta, but it actually looked like a big elbow umacaroni than rigatoni. It was cooked exactly al dente. The bucatini was also cooked al dente. Unfortunately both pasta dishes were way over salted, so we had to not get much sauce or broth on the pasta to make it palatable and thus was not able to enjoy the flavors of the dishes. The clams were small. We skipped dessert. The place is very cozy, but we had an unruly child at the next table, so that was a bummer--although definitely not the fault of the restaurant. Word of caution: if you are celiac or highly sensitive to gluten or seafood cross contamination, you might want to think twice because I had a very mild reaction the next day (I have very similar symptoms for exposure to seafood or gluten, so can't really tell which I was exposed to) indicating some low level of cross contamination either by seafood or gluten. That usually happens when the kitchen doesn't wash cooking vessels with detergent and only brushes it under the faucet in between dishes or uses the same cutting board for different things without washing in between.

I've heard so many great things about this restaurant. I finally gave it a try and was so happy with each of the dishes we selected. If you're looking for the best cacio e pepe, this is the place! My mom loved her red snapper and can't wait to go back. Service was also great, they were very attentive and never missed a beat.

Sandro's has been on my radar for a while so finally we made it there on 4/20/24, and it was such a positive experience. From the parking lot and the back entrance, there is a staircase leading up to the restaurant. They also have an elevator if you'd rather not climb.   Upon arrival we headed to the cozy bar and ordered spicy calamari ($26) and a few cocktails ($18.50 each martini) at the bar. Josh, the bartender, was great. He was friendly and made killer cocktails. The calamari wasn't too spicy, but flavorful and tender. It was a perfect start to the evening.   At the table, we shared 2 pastas, the bolognese ($29) and black linguine with seafood ($45). Both were delicious, but the linguine frutti di mare was the star. It was the best black ink pasta I've had so far. The sauce was packed with flavor, and the seafood was so fresh.    Service on all levels was outstanding. The owner/manager was present, checking in on all guests. Every single member of the staff was friendly, and attentive. Nothing was rushed, our request for splitting each entree was done nicely and they staggered the arrival of each course perfectly. We never felt rushed and were able to fully enjoy our experience.   This was my first time at Sandro's and I cannot wait to go back to try other dishes!  This place is now in my rotation.    Food 5 stars Service 5 stars.. service was fantastic, from the bartender/Josh, servers/Paulino, busboys etc.  Ambience 4 stars.. only drawbacks were that the entry and bathrooms were on the lower level, and the noise level when it's crowded.

Recently had the pleasure to enjoy Alesandro's and it did not disappoint. Food was excellent enjoyed several pasta dishes I'd highly recommend the carbonara for which they actually use guanciale much better than pancetta. Also tried the pork chop martini and veal chop both cooked to perfection. If in the area I highly recommended I will certainly be back. Nice decor and vibe to the restaurant. The executive chef/owner checking on our meals was a nice touch. All around great service and food.

Delicious and authentic homemade pastas! Every dish we ordered was really good, I'm amazed. Big call outs were the Polpo (grilled octopus appetizer), Parpadelle Ai Funghi (mushroom pasta), Grilled Branzino, and Pork chop martini. The chef even came out and went around to each table to greet everyone. Lots of parking. FYI It seems they want everyone to go through the back entrance versus the front entrance on the street since they keep locking the front doors.

Sandro's is going strong and still putting out first quality Italian food. Fresh pastas are a well above the local competition as well as the quality fish and meat choices. Tonight I tried something different a On the bone pounded veal cutlet with a spicy vodka sauce and mozzarella with a side of delicious pasta. Our usual Spiedini alla Romana and Calamari were great.

Alessandro Acquista is a great Chef and is the owner of his fabulous restaurant in Manhasset. The food is amazing and the service is top notch. We had the Burrata e prosciutto appetizer and crispy Artichokes. The creamy Burrata paired perfectly with the flavorful and thin sliced prosciutto. My wife had the Lumancha Pugliese dish, which consisted of crumbled sweet sausage, broccoli rabe and pasta with a variety of flavors that was cooked to perfection! I had the Bucatini con Sarde. It had just the right amount of Sardines, Anchovies and breadcrumbs. The Pappardelle Al Funghi was amazing. The mushrooms were cooked superbly with the right amount of garlic and onions. To finish the meal off, we ordered the homemade tiramisu ! This was hands down, the best tirimasu I have ever had! Everything in this restaurant is made fresh! The pasta is made in house daily, along with the other dishes on the menu. We can't wait to go back again. Alessandro's Italian is my new go-to restaurant on any given night!

I finally came here for dinner on a weeknight and with my luck it was raining. The entry to the restaurant is in the parking lot in the back. The complementary bread was OK, but the highlight of this dining experience was the fried Mozzarella with spicy vodka sauce. It was amazing that I devoured the dish. I paired this with their Montepulciano wine, which complemented my meal. Then the PAPPARDELLE AI FUNGHI came in: wild mushrooms, porcini brodetto, truffle, and Grana Padano tasted amazing, but I was so full from consuming the fried Mozzarella Appetizer that I had to take it home and share it with other half. I definitely want to go back to try their other dishes and even attempt a dessert.

Pleasantly surprised with Sandro's food! Laid back Italian restaurant with delicious pasta. I have not found many great Italian restaurants in Long Island, but Sandro's is definitely up there now! I came in a group of 8 and was able to try a number of different dishes. The appetizers were very good, I would recommend the baked clams and the shrimp/squid/octopus dish if you enjoy seafood. The fried mozzarella was also amazing!! My favorite pasta was definitely the bucatini al' amatriciana, but all of the pastas were good. The texture of the noodles was perfect and full of great flavor. The only dish I would probably not order again is the chicken parm. Service was a little slow and not attentive, but I would definitely give Sandro's a try if you live in the area!

This place is incredible. All the pastas are homemade and extremely authentic. Seriously some of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. The standouts for me are: mafaldine pesto rosso and the rigatoni rocco. Try these two pastas and you will thank me. They also had a raviolo special filled with egg yolk and topped with truffle - UNREAL. It's not a cheap restaurant, but it's well worth the price. Pro tip: make a reservation at least a week in advance, it books up quickly.

Met friends for dinner. There were five of us and we sat in a large booth. Good menu, lots of options from traditional - lasagna snd chicken parm to creative pastas. I had Caesar salad and chicken parm. A lot of food! Delicious. I would have given it 5 stars but we felt rushed. When the waiter came by and said "I don't mean to rush you but we have another group" was when I felt rushed. Lol. We weren't there that long either.

This place. Wow. Their serving staff. Customer service there The ambiance There was an elegant but simple touch to it. My family loved it! The food. Oh my goodness. I had that food, and even after flying home, I still think about it! The pasta was the PERFECT al dente. The chicken was so tender and juicy that I used only my fork to take my pieces. All I need to do is have thar all shipped to me in CA, and it'll make my life complete. So please, order. Relax. And enjoy! Buon appetito!!!!

We walked into this Italian restaurant on a Friday evening at 6:35pm, without a reservation. They were kindly enough to accommodate us, with one condition: leave the table by 8:15 for 8:30 diners. Fair enough, thank you. The house specials. The waiting staff's accent meets my inadequate English, the list seems extremely long. Not to disappoint him, I ordered the first two that I remembered. The fried calamari (did he say fried? ...) is soft and pretty good. The grill cheese showed I clearly didn't understand or remember. Three pasta off the menu are really good, al dente and tasty. Tuscany's Chianti Ser Jacopo is yummy. Their bathroom is a floor below. I joking asked if I could ride their elevator - my legs aren't as fresh as 20 years ago. The young man was kindly escort me down. Guess it's not for the average Janes or Joes. I though we have more than enough time but with three kids, we barely kept our promise: left at 8:08. The lonesome duckie is still in the parking lot.

Amazing food. The best pasta in the area along with very high quality meals from fish to meat. The starters with the fried cheese is also amazing and the desert is great as well. The service was amazing with the waiters having much knowledge of the menu and the environment of the restaurant was very welcoming and cozy

Finally writing a review after coming here a couple times now! Firstly, I want to point out how great the service is. The waiters are so sweet and helpful throughout the meal. They are passionate about the food and love to answer any questions you may have. We ordered the fried mozeralla, baked clams, bucatini amatricini and a lobster special pasta. The baked clams and bucatini were the stand outs for me. It tasted like very authentic ingredients and real Italian style cooking! I really enjoy coming to this restaurant and I love being able to have such great Italian food so close by. There is also ample parking behind the restaurant. The restaurant itself is a bit small so try to make a reservation if you can. Stoked to come back soon!

Sandro's is now formally Alessandro's. Alessandro's has also been given a new look that makes the place more inviting. What makes Alessandro's special? So many things that I almost want to keep it a secret so shhhhhh. The owner is hands on and beyond lovely as is the staff. Top notch ... you have to experience it to understand what a special place this is. Then there is the food. The food is fresh and authentic Italian perfection. It is by far the best Italian food in the area. You haven't experienced truly Italian fare until you have enjoyed a meal at Alessandro's. I love to support places with amazing food, great drinks and awesome people ... Alessandro's is all this and more. I wish I had taken pictures but nothing will truly capture the essence of Alessandro's other than experiencing it first hand. Pure yumminess!

My wife and I went to Alessandro's for the first time. We had fried calamari and mussels (in white wine) appetizers. I had the veal osso boco special and my wife had a pasta with lobster dish. We shared a warm apple tart with vanilla ice cream for dessert. All the food was great! Great service and very pleasant atmosphere as well.

After hearing so many good things our expectations were high for Sandro's. Upon walking in, you walk up a cute welcoming staircase but as you proceed further into the restaurant, the ambiance is a little lack luster. We started with the calamari arabiatta. It's fine, nothing special. Perhaps it's a throwaway dish for them. We also got the spinach and egg pasta with a truffle champagne sauce. It had guancialle, mushrooms, and peas. They don't skimp on any of the ingredients. It was warm creamy and rich and I couldn't get enough of it. All the pastas sounded scrumptious. The charred polpo was so well done. Easily could've been over cooked but far from it. It was well dressed with a lemon vinaigrette. The staff was very friendly and the chef even came to check on every table which was a nice personal touch and ver much appreciated. I would come back to try another pasta dish in their menu.

Sandro's is 10/10!! It's a medium sized restaurant that gets booked up pretty quick so definitely make a reservation, they use open table! My boyfriend and I ordered the mozzarella in carrozza with spicy vodka sauce and broccoli rabe/sausage egg rolls off the specials list for apps. Let me say, we ordered both thinking they would be smaller portions but we were so wrong. We received two full egg rolls cut in half with marinara and the mozzarella in carrozza was like two full grilled cheese sandwiches. We were full by the time we finished the apps. Our pastas came, the rigatoni Rocco and malfadine pesto rosso. Both dishes were outstanding, made to a perfect al dente. Our waiter was the sweetest, he told us all the pasta is made in house, the basement is lined with machines. I highly recommend sandro's when you're craving some pasta!

Place was so dark, impossible to see what was in the dishes or read the menu without a flashlight. Too noisy, too jammed.

Food was wonderful However, I was very disappointed in the chicken parmigiana. It wasn't very good. The chicken was tough. The rest of the food, pastas and especially the Osso Bucco was amazing The service staff were pleasant and helpful The ambiance was ok. It could use a little freshening up, but not anything that will prevent us from returning

This past Saturday we had the pleasure of hosting my son's 1st Birthday party here. What an unbelievable day for our family with Alessandro's to thank. From the absolutely delicious food to the impeccable service, my guests raved and raved. The wait staff was even so kind and patient with all of the kids running around. Diane made planning the event a breeze & I am so grateful for such a special day. Don't think twice for your next event or dinner out- every dish is off the charts and consistent every time we go!!

Allesandros is probably the best upscale and creative restaurant on the North Shore The food selection is amazing and creative and well presented, the service is non-pareil and the renovations are beautiful. The Owner Executive Chef makes sure everyone is pleased and the "guests" are totally taken care of .. I have gone since the beginning and go very frequently. Bonnie Salkind

Highlight, parking in the back was ample. The restaurant space is intimately sized but you do not feel crowded. Now to get to the food. I ordered the limoncello mojito which was a nice start to the meal. The fried calamari and zucchini were lightly fried with a tasty arrabiatta sauce. We had an unusually long wait before the main course arrived. I ordered the lumache pugliese which is a pasta dish with sweet sausage and broccoli rabe. It must have been sitting in the kitchen for a while because the pasta was not even warm. I did not taste any sweetness of the sausage because the dish was a little salty for my taste. The pasta was cooked al dente so that was appreciated. We had dessert and I opted for the pistachio and hazelnut gelato. A friend ordered gelato as well. When the desserts came out, his gelato was a little melted and mine didn't come out at the same time. The waiter later returned (after the rest of my table was halfway done with their desserts) to tell me they didn't have anymore hazelnut. Just confused as to why he didn't know that when he brought out my friend's gelato. Overall I was underwhelmed with the meal. It didn't help that there was an obnoxious table of 8 in the far corner that felt a need to scream and laugh ridiculously loudly at each other. A fellow diner commented how she heard them from downstairs at the back end of the building.The acoustics in the place is horrible to begin with so inconsiderate diners made the experience worse. I luckily had good company for dinner otherwise this evening would have been a bust. For food I would have rated a 3 star but service and acoustics and uncontrolled diners I would give it a 1 star. This hopefully was just an off night? How could my experience be so different from the other reviewers?

I had the Salmon, cooked perfectly Everyone in our party enjoyed there meal Service was impeccable, never had to wait for a waiter and they were not in your face bothering us and very knowledgeable of the menu Atmosphere was nice.

This place just opened up a few weeks ago and I was dying to try it! First off I want to say that the servers are insanely nice and catered to our every need. They came out with warm bread and a little bowl of olives and olive oil and the bread was great. I had the lumache bolognese, which was delicious. Perfectly cooked al dente and the sauce was great. My friend had the tagliatelle with truffles which also smelled wonderful. The star of the show was the tiramisu, which left me speechless. It was so soft, creamy, and the coffee was so good. Please don't leave without trying it. Overall I would definitely come back! I am so happy to support a new family owned business!

Mai L.

Yelp
Food was great, but the servers need to be taught that this is not a fast-food establishment where they should take drink orders from customers before our butts even hit the seats and they should not take away our plates of food while our forks are still ladened with food and mid-air on the way to our mouths. Meanwhile, our water glasses sat empty for a good hour before they were filled. The servers were definitely not trained to be full-service dining servers. I am leaving four stars because Sandro's does pasta well, but we won't come back for pricy food if service makes us feel like we are eating at a counter-service establishment.

This restaurant is not big, but the food is fresh and delicious, the service is very good and friendly , It is often full so it is best to make a reservation in advance. The parking is very convenient ,the restaurant's relaxed environment is great for family and friend's gatherings! We were there on Nov 13th 2022 with family friends . Because the food surprised me that night, so we came back in less than a week, their homemade pasta was fresh and delicious, highly recommend .

Food was outstanding, and service was very attentive. Tables are tight, and music and overall conversations from tables made the place loud. Will definitely be back for the delicious food.

Great food, but be warned - it gets crowded! Not a place you can show up to without a reservation, if you want to be sure that you'll get a seat. Besides that, it's a great spot!!
