Amazing food and amazing service. We order all the time for take out nights but we recently used them to cater a private party and can’t say enough good things. Everyone at our party raved about how delicious the food was. The guidance and help from the first call placing the catering order then to the delivery day of- it was all perfect. Michael was such a pleasure to work with! Highly recommend Amalfi!!

I love coming in here on a hot afternoon, it is quiet and it is cool and it is clean and wonderful, and the pizza is delicious. This is a full-on restaurant, and the food looks very good. I'm going to have to come back for dinner.

We love dining at Amalfi and get their wonderful food for delivery all the time. Recently we hosted a huge party at our house and ordered 2 giant six-foot heroes to feed our guests and there were no leftovers! Amazing food and service!!

I was absolutely disgusted, disappointed by my first impression of this place. I never was there before, I asked the girl behind the counter for a slice with mushrooms ,i watched this girl take the slice, took the mushrooms with her bare hands to put them on, never washed her hands before doing that. I asked her " no gloves?:" the response was "no they get in the way:, that's absolutely disgusting!!! I'd love to see John Taffner see that as a licensed Esthetician as well as cosmetologist, passing the state boards includes passing the " sanitation " part of the test . You would not pass That is absolutely inexcusable for anyone to be touching food for others without proper sanitation, safety of the client. I watched this girl touching other things then put her hands into the mushrooms to spread the

Typical pizza place, chicken rolls are good and huge, lots of chicken and cheese, almost two meals. Many slice options available at the counter.

Amalfi catered our private party. All of our guests were raving about the food! Sausage and peppers, 2 pastas - vodka sauce and pasta broccoli, garlic and oil, chicken parm and chicken francese, eggplant rolitini, meatballs, caprese salad, grilled veges and more. Absolutely delicious!! Our new go to restaurant - and we don’t live close by but we are loyal fans now!!

Pizza was great — NY style. I’m used to New Haven pies, so nothing else really compares. This was very good for what it was. Greasy, doughy, cheesy, delightful. The panini was good, but the Sicilian slice was mediocre at best. Worth a shot if you’re in the area.

Wow this is the sweetest family friendly open mic in the area! Huge bonus...great food! The service was great too-the kindhearted server put a plate over our friend's food while she was on the mic. And all the food we ordered was delicious! I'll admit it-we were skeptical of good Italian food AND an open mic in a strip mall, but wow! Don't be fooled! The place has top notch service & so many options for all types of eaters with a really awesome & welcoming open mic crowd!

Pricy for mediocre food. Too much breading. Our chicken cutlet sandwich had a very thin cutlet. Go to Long Island Bagel for good chicken cutlet sandwich close by.

Food was great. Service was great. Chef was really on his game tonight. Chicken Marsala was fantastic. Chicken was tender and juicy with tons of mushrooms and the perfect sauce. My favorite. Arancini appetizer was great (huge) and baked clams were so fresh and tasty. Everyone enjoyed their meals. A+++

Well the white guy has kind of an attitude and will straight up serve you a burnt slice. You're that cheap to give me a not burnt slice? Am I wrong ? I think their pizza is decent when not burned but it's the audacity for me w the sneakiness.

My family went there for years...decades...like clockwork every Friday. We only did not go there when we were on vacation and not in town. Never had an issue. Always solid food and solid service. Last night my daughter ordered a plain large pizza there through uber eats and unfortunately she ordered it from the port Washington amafi by mistake. When we went there to pick it up we discovered her mistake. Even though they said they are the same owners they could not honor our purchase because "they already made it in port Washington...what are they supposed to do with that pizza?" When I suggested that they sell it (A plain pizza on a Friday night on Long Island shouldn't be too tough to get rid of) they said it "doesn't work that way." My daughter felt so bad because she felt completely responsible. Honestly, the food is very good but I won't go back. I was very disappointed in how I was treated after so many years of patronage and how they tried to frame the situation, particularly seeing my daughter, who has been going there since she was 2 years old, crying because of it. It would have been so easy for them to resolve but they chose not to so they wouldn't lose out on the 17 dollars. Honestly, I think the owner just has a negative view of single mothers. I'm sure if my children's father were there it would have been a different story. But who knows? Maybe he was just in a bad mood that day.

The food is really low quality and bland. My husband's spaghetti and meatballs actually smelled foul. I would rather eat an "Italian" meal at Olive Garden over this place.

I am so happy with Amalfi! First off all the dishes my husband and I have ever ordered have been excellent! I am a very picky eater with a lot of dietary restrictions. Having said that- Amalfi never gets my order wrong! I make up items that are not on the menu and they knock it out of the park! My latest request was a personal salad pizza but with antipasto salad. It was perfection- the crust was crispy, a layer of tomato sauce, salad including red onions, roasted red peppers, olives and tomatoes topped with diced ham, salami and pepperoni. I cannot eat cheese so that was left off and dressing on the side. I highly recommend this restaurant!

I have been going to Amalfi since they opened in Port Washington in fact I was their a month ago. This past Saturday we went to the Glen Cove place which we do 90% of the time. My family and I have been customers starting many years ago AKA Gino's in Manhasset Unfortunately I have been discontinuing business's that charge for using credit cards, and Amalfi falls under this promise. ( Port didn't charge me a month ago so I thought they wised up) The bill has the increase in prices OK, it also demands Tips be in Cash Not happy and then they charge me convenience fees for using my credit card. It is fine with me I don't want to tell anyone how to run their business I am sure they have thought these policies over. I'll miss their Pasta's.

The other day I posted a review of a salad that I was extremely unhappy with. The owner was quick to address the problem and today I just wanted to show what a great product I received. I am an avid customer here at Amalfi and the way they treat their customers is fantastic. The staff is extremely kind and do everything to make sure everyone leaves happy. Thank you Amalfi, these pictures do not do the justice of how great it tasted :)

I joke about it a lot with my family and friends that there are a pizzeria, nail salon, and Chinese restaurant in every strip mall. These places always seem very generic and don't really distinguish themselves from each other. However, I will say that Amalfi tries its best to be one of the better pizzerias in the area. They are one of the better ones that I've been to. Their pizza's may be slightly oily, but it's worth a try. The restaurant itself is very comfortable and the staff accommodating. I would come back whenever I can.

The restaurant is spacious and clean. The $12.95 pasta and Thursday chicken specials are great values. The staff is friendly. The Tuesday night open mic is fun to listen to. The food is good but not great though.

This review is merely for the pizza. I confess that I've never tried their other food. Pizza can only be honestly assessed and appraised if it's plain, old, regular, cheese pizza. No toppings. I like toppings on pizza occasionally, but for the purpose of review, it really should just be your standard cheese pie. That said, Amalfi's take on the classic is about standard. The sauce to cheese ratio is slightly high in terms of the sauce. They could do with a bit less. But the real offender here, as is always the supreme test, is the crust. Extremely chewy and hardly any crunch. It's absolutely springy, and as such, not particularly pleasant. So, though it pains me to say it, so far I've yet to find good pizza in Glen Cove, and, frankly, good pizza seems to be a somewhat elusive commodity on most of Long Island. Glen Cove is one of only 2 cities on Long Island, the other being Long Beach. One would think it would be easy to locate both good Chinese food and good pizza in a city. Sadly, there is neither in Glen Cove. But fear not, Glen Covians...the one thing Amalfi is good at is charging that well known 'north of 25A' price. You'll get very pedestrian pizza at an impressively high price. It ain't bad. It just ain't good. I should add, however, that due to the dearth of good pizza on Long Island, and especially in the Glen Cove area, Amalfi's take on pizza is definitely better than most, if not all others, in town.

An early Saturday evening and we were seated right away by a nice woman. I haven't been here in ages and my last visit (when they first opened) was not a good one. Things have definitely changed for the better. Drinks orders were taken quickly and some warm bread with butter, was brought to the table. We took our time reading the menu and did not feel rushed. Our three entrees were linguini and red clam sauce, a chicken francaise hero with melted fresh mozzarella, and chicken marsala. There was no children's menu, so a 'side's order of ziti with tomato sauce was ordered. The clam sauce was ok...no clams in the shell, rather like out of a can with their sauce on top. The chicken marsala was good, nice portion with leftovers. The side of ziti was eaten so I guess it was good. The chicken francaise hero was delicious. The fresh mozzarella was an extra $2 on the bill, which I didn't mind, but they should have informed me verbally or on the menu. No desserts, portions good, prices reasonable, food hot & fresh, servers attentive and full bellies. We will definitely be back to try more.

Yep. Another pizza place / Italian restaurant in an LI strip mall. ZZzzzzzzz. I did find some gems in Amalfi though. Oddly enough...in the salad section. While most pizza place salads consist of vegetables quartered and barely chopped iceberg, Amalfi had over a dozen different salads. All had different nuts, cheeses, veggies and lettuce. The execution was on point too (check my pic). My salad (forgot the name, no online menu) was full of gorgonzola, beets, asparagus, avocado, corn and arugula. A random combo? Maybe. A delicious combo? Yeeeeeeeeep. Cost was $11. There were also a few lunch specials available and for $8 my Gramps got a large plate of eggplant parm w/ a side of angel hair (check the otha pic). I can't vouch for the taste obviously, but in sheer size this is a great deal. There was a large wrap / panini menu, as well as....pizza! So, there's a solid chance I'll be back here.

One of my favorites! Followed them from Port Washington ! Love the Shrimp Cocktail, veal Piazziola, sauteed broccoli rabe and Italian Egg Drop Soup. The baked clams are delicious too! Grandma pies and linguine and clam sauce are yummy for your tummy too!!! Best part about Amalfi's besides the good eats is the service! Dine in or order take out! The staff are as pleasant and accommodating on the phone or in person! Love ! Love ! Love them!!!

Great food and great staff, my kids are hooked on the chicken fingers. The pizza is tasty. My favorite is the extra cheese pie, but dont sleep on their specialty slices, that's what got the wife hooked from the getgo

This eatery/pizeria in a shopping strip offers very average Italian fare. Atmosphere 75 Okay Service 75 Housewife style Food 70 What I had, a veal dish, was not good. The sauce was worse. Value 75 Prices were not proportionate with quality I would skip this restaurant only because there are so many other places to eat in town.

There Grandmas pizza is great, that's my favorite yype of pizza, service friendly, large selection fresh made pizza and pasta and salads, the calamari is really good too. I like that they sell the Italian ices from the window out front, reminds me of when I was a kid and my mom would take us to Rossini's for Italian ice.,

I usually get the same thing everytime I order food here. I get the almafi uno wrap and add mozzarella. It is fantastic and I come back 2 times a week for it. If you get ne back every week for me you get 5 stars.

My go-to local spot for pizza. I am constantly ordering out their specialty Buffalo chicken pies, and have their salad specialty slices whenever I'm eating out for lunch. Everyone has their personal preference as far as pizza dough goes, but I just love how rustic, flavorful, and meaty amalfi's crusts are. Not to mention every pie I've gotten here has been jam packed with toppings. Combined with their friendly, family style service and this place can't be beat. I look forward to ordering more dishes from their menu and plan on coming through for a sit-down dinner with my family one or these evenings.

I ordered the cauliflower pizza and I had much better at other near pizza places. The over all food is good here, but I find the selection of pizza slices is very limited.

Pizza is great. Especially when they first opened there was this eggplant thing with crust on the bottom and top and layers of amazing eggplant parm in between. Please bring that back. Pizza w roasted red peppers and feta is great. Recommend chicken Marsala, eggplant parm, broccoli rabe, (and random lentil soup if you're sick, it's practically medicinal)

I have been here to change things up from going to other venues and although the food is far from perfect it is an improvement from past visits. I also commend the swift services to get one's dinner to the customers but I question whether or not the food is actually made fresh as other places make it. I do however miss when Delicious pizza was in its place during my childhood.

Amalfi is fabulous! The pizza is great. My favorite is the barbecue chicken pizza. They have excellent salads and definitely the best penne alla vodka I have ever had! I get the vodka sauce all the time for home. It lasts 2 nights of dinner if you make your own pasta. The chicken wings are great too. Highly recommended. Atmosphere is comfortable and you feel like your in Italy. (The closest I'll get)!

As they say looks are deceptive. you could easily pass this place on your way to wamu or stop n shop. if you happen to stop and peep in it looks like a regular pizza joint playing classic rock and the seating kinda reminds you of a tgif. if you are one of the those lucky enough to give it a try you will be in for some really good pasta. the tomato sauce here is just the way i like it, tangy and not loaded with sugar. you must get the bruschetta capricciosa which is as good as it gets. the eggplant parm is great too, only wish it was paper thin the way i love it.

I go to Amalfi every weekend, although only for pizza. So, I've eaten their pizza quite a bit. Glen Cove has two or three very good pizza stores and this is one of them. The absolute best I've ever had, probably not, but the selection of pizza styles, the quality of ingredients, and the availability of gluten-free pizza (if that's your need) make this an 8 out of 10 for me. The chicken parm, various veg-based pizzas (especially the asparagus-artichoke), the Sicilian and roasted onion/tomato pizzas are my preference. I also really like the Caesar roll, although it can get a bit drippy from the sauce, which comes with the dish.

Yummy! (mostly) The Caesar Salad was over dressed and tasted a bit fishy. Our waitress was very helpful and nice, also the baked clams were extremely good (I don't even like clams usually!) , so was the lasagna! Save room for dessert here though because it comes automatically after you finish eating. This should have been 3 and a half stars but the website doesn't let you put halves in. :( The Monday night special was a great deal!

Food is always great -called to have a pie delivered they told me about an hour I agreed. I called an hour and 45 minutes later and asked where the pie was, the assistant manager said it's on the way. 45 minutes later I called back because it wasn't delivered , the girl who too the order answered and said it was for pick up and will be delivered shortly still don't have a pizza. called back they're making a fresh one to send now so I'll get to eat the pie three hours after I called for delivery re-training of staff is necessary!!!!

Amalfi has very good food and decent service too. I mostly get take out or delivery since I work in the neighborhood. Their pizza and salads are excellent and the linguini barbaniera is my favorite dish there. Most of their prices are reasonable except for the salads...they're a little expensive, especially if you're adding grilled chicken. I once used them to cater an office party and the food was good too. Overall, I would recommend Amalfi if you're in the mood for good Italian food.

I'm a calamari snob. Calamari needs to be fresh, tender, and crispy but not chewy. AMALFI has the BEST fried calamari I've eaten at a restaurant. Truly delicious every time. The salads are huge with delicious and generous servings of featured ingredients. If you love fried calamari like I do then go get it at AMALFI. It's fantastic.

I eat here all the time since I own a salon in the same shopping center. The food here has never failed me. The pizza is the best of the best. The eggplant parm is amazing and great salads and a very nice owner who works very hard to provide the best food. This pizzeria is one of a kind in Glen cove and no one else around here can touch this place. I wish them the best of luck because it's very well deserved. Try it and you really won't be sorry

There is a sixth star at Amalfi of Glen Cove! His name is Carlos and he is the BEST pizza maker on Long Island!!! I don't know if it is his singing or whistling while he composes each masterpiece or, if it is because he actually has standards and cares about the incredible taste, appearance and affect each mouthwatering bite will bring to his fortunate customers. Pizza lovers, this man makes a pie that is out of this world! Thank you, Carlos!!!

It's noisy, but not rediculous. We sat down before another table and they were served first, they need more wait staff. I ordered the North Shore Salad and it had canned green beans in it, discusting. Not what I want to have in a fresh salad. And the Chicken and Broccoli roll tasted stale or not seasoned enough. The pizza is usually pretty good, and the prices for slices and pies are moderate. Better off going for a slice or a pie ONLY! They have a good slice and creative gourmet pies, however, the last few times I went to dine-in I didn't have the best experience.

Stopped in for lunch. I ordered a Margarita slice and Barbeque chicken slice. I also order a small spinach and mozzarella roll. My favorite of the three was the barbeque chicken slice. It was delicious. I have had way better Margarita slices. The pizza dough was also on the thin side. The spinach roll was tasty with a little bit of their sauce. I am all about the sauce. It was OK. I enjoyed it. Might give them another shot and try something different. Their staff was friendly.

I just love this place. Been coming to this exact location but different name since I was a young boy. Living on two coasts, I always seem to come home to this spot. Now Amalfi. I've tried almost all the pizza shops in this city and area surrounding of Glen Cove and Amalfi gets my number one spot choice. The combination of cheese and sauce on their pizza is perfect. Their dishes are well sized meals. Chicken Parm, Marsala, Francaise, are tops notch. Their chrilled chicken ceasar wrap is another favorite for lunch. Many pizza selections to choose from for take out or sit in. Staff is very friendly, front cooks all recognize me when I come in. I even bring back my clean pizza boxes back for second, third time usage. I hate wasting a box of cardboard for two slices of cheese. I think I'm the only at the moment one that does this. If the restaurant owner who has sleeves of tattoos sees this review, he will know who I am writing this. That's the amicable feeling you get from Amalfi, Glen Cove. -Andrew Paul Binder
