Osteria Da Nino, Huntington, New York, Italian Restaurant Details

Food:

Comfort food in a casual, rustic setting is a pleasant combination at this upscale Huntington neighborhood gem, long a no-stress Main Street stop for consistently excellent Italian, a winning wine list and gracious service; loyalists are split over the addition of an expanded bar – some like its energy while others find it noisy – yet most will still be returning either way.

Am I allowed to give 6 stars? Please please 6 stars. This place is dang right so so perfect. I wished I lived here. The pasta was off the charts and they really do well with the complimentary bread as well. I love how they offer various dishes, but do try their pasta. The Carciofini Alla Giudia artichokes were also my dang favorite. They were cooked right with a punch of flavor of garlic and oil. I also tried the Paglia E Fieno Ai Funghi E Tartuffo -- the mushroom worked so well with the truffle oil it's like they danced together on my taste buds. I could NOT stop smiling with every bite. There are no words to describe it. It wasn't soggy, it was al dente and I have never been happier without meat that day. I tried some of the Fettuccine Con Polpette Di Carne too. I am not a fan of veal, but it was pretty good. Still -- not as good as the hay and straw pasta though. Please do try this place!

This restaurant used to be an amazing italian place. The last review on here was 7 months ago. Before that it was amazing. Now they added a big bar in the front and turned it into some sort of Irish Pub. It's horrendous. The food used to be authentic italian, now it's fake bar food italian. I orded lasagna a while back and it was great. I just went there last week and it looked like stouffers frozen food and was gross. The chicken parm dinner doesn't even come with a salad or pasta and it's almost $20!!!. They just throw some soggy broccoli rabe under it. Cutting costs like this will alienate every customer.

This place doesn't even have white linen tablecloths!!!! The worst part of all is that it is loud as hell. You can't have a nice dinner without screaming baby boomer drunks from the bar all loaded up on wine.

Lastly, it is expensive as hell. They charge fine dining prices for a pub experience. But the main thing is the food is terrible now. I should of known when I walked in there on a Friday night at 6:45 and the restaurant portion was empty. That was a huge red flag.

Do not waste your time with this place. I asked the waitress why they changed and she said they weren't really getting the crowds without the bar. I told her it was because the portion sizes were too small. Instead of changing the whole restaurant into a bar, all they had to do was up the portion sizes or lower the prices. Instead they just destroyed this restaurant. Now it looks like any other bar in Huntington. There are a gazillion bars in Huntington. It makes no sense to have another one.

Oh, and by the way, the waitresses are dressed in jeans and t-shirts.. This is the biggest red flag of all.

Food:

SOOOO delicious! Love the rustic italian atmosphere. Very authentic cuisine as well as decor. The eggplant parmesean is probably my top dish. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great little italian restaurant nearby

Food:

Cute Italian restaurant on Main Street in downtown Huntington. It's a great place for a couples or family dinner. We went on a Sunday night and the restaurant was only half full.

Service was great. Bread was warm and yummy (ask for balsamic). I recommend the grilled shrimp and eggplant caponata appetizer. As for entrees, the scallops and risotto was pretty good, though I wish the scallops were bigger. The steak was decent too.

Food:

Excellent food, very attentive service, and a nice atmosphere. A little too pricey for everyday dining, but just right for special occasions. And on the next special occasion, we'll be back!
