La Ginestra

Always a fabulous meal ! The veal chop parmigiana is amazing along with anything you order.

Food was absolutely delicious and service was outstanding, staff was very polite and friendly, every detail was on point!

Unfortunately, my experience at La Ginestra didn’t quite live up to the hype. The ambiance was fine and the service was okay, but the food was underwhelming. For an Italian restaurant, I expected more flavor and freshness — the dishes just felt a bit flat and uninspired. It wasn’t terrible, but definitely not a place I’d rush back to. Glen Cove has better options for Italian if you’re looking for a memorable meal.

Uneven food. My pollo scarpiello was dry but my wife's Veal was delicious

We called and they stayed open late for Ross's birthday. Julie (100% five star service) recommended we start with the clams and the fresh made that day pasta. Both were off the charts amazing. Our group had the chicken, veal and Bronzino and the fish was some of the best I have ever tasted. Thank you guys. The only thing better than the food was the attitude and service of the staff. I would give them 10 stars if I could. Happy birthday Ross, hope you enjoyed your first night in NY. Now for the presents.
