Manducatis Rustica VIG

Had a lovely meal here on our last night in long island. Had the rustica board for 2 ( more like for 4). Followed by the meat lovers pizza. Thin crispy base, loved the garlic oil. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend for an authentic Italian meal. When we make the flight from Scotland again, we will most definitely be back. Thank you.

We hosted our wedding reception at Manducatis Rustica, and we truly could not recommend it highly enough. The food was absolutely delicious and memorable for all of our guests, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was nothing short of magical. From the moment we started planning, we worked with Gianna, who was an absolute dream. Having Gianna by your side is what I imagine having a fairy godmother would be like. She was warm, professional, and incredibly thoughtful from day one — offering great advice, creative suggestions, and genuine care for every detail. In the weeks leading up to our big day, she communicated with us regularly to ensure she had a clear sense of our vision, and on the day itself, she made that vision come to life flawlessly. When we walked into the garden p

amazing experience. My wife and I had made a reservation here for Valentine’s Day. Upon arrival we learned it was for the following day mistakenly. The owner Gianna was so pleasant and understanding. While the restaurant was fully booked, she was nice enough to work with us and find a suitable table. Not only was she and the rest of the staff accommodating but we also had one of the best Italian dinners in a while. The chicken parm was cooked to perfection. The clams were fresh as if it came straight from the ocean. And the bolognese might have been the most flavorful I’ve ever had. If I could rate this place a 6 out of 5 I would!

My all time favorite! Their Italian Stake Frites is a must try item! Also loved the Linguine Shrimp and Rack of Lamb. Also the ambience is great! Can’t wait to go back again.

Authentic Italian restaurant with romantic vibes and delicious food. Ordered salad with arugula and chicken parmesan. The portion was generous. Servers were well mannered. Great for date night, family, and other special occasions
