Sotto Luna

If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, look no further than Sotto Luna in Albertson. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warmth and a genuine sense of hospitality, thanks to the incredible owner, Melissa, who truly cares about every guest. The food? Absolutely five stars. Each dish is a masterpiece, bursting with flavor, fresh ingredients, and impeccable presentation. The fried calamari is hands down the best I’ve ever had—crispy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. (Squeeze the lemon on it!) And the Pizza Pollo? It was so fresh and amazing, with just the right balance of flavors. Whether you're indulging in their perfectly cooked pastas, delectable seafood, or expertly crafted appetizers, it’s clear that a lot of passion and skill goes into every plate. Melis

I made a visit back to Sotto Luna for the first time after a decade, wondering all the while - 'Will it be as good as I remembered?' In short, most things are. Some things have certainly changed. Since last I visited, the restaurant has moved to a new location, but the interior is still warm and cozy while the service remains as friendly. And you've got to pay respects to a place that delivers a whole head of roasted garlic with warm (almost too hot to touch) bread. Familiar Italian favorites are done extremely well here. My picky father enjoyed his linguine pescatore - a healthy serving of mussels, clams, shrimp, and calamari nestled in a bed of pasta in red sauce. I ordered a classic spaghetti and meatballs, and the sheer size of the meatballs drew audible gasps from around the table.

The food was delicious, and the fried calamari was cooked perfectly! The service was okay, but the staff needs to know more about the menu. I'll definitely be back, though.

One of the best authentic Italian restaurants in New York! The service is always great and the food is never disappointing. All of my meals here have been delicious. The atmosphere is very elegant and there is a beautiful bar. The menu has a great selection and there are lots of unique specials to try. You will never be bored, there is a wonderful balance of creative new dishes as well as classic favorites. You're going to want to save room for dessert, all of them are out of this world!

Hostess deserves a raise but the rest of the staff needs an upgrade or better training. I tried to order apps and was told I should order them with my entree. I have never been told I shouldn’t order apps before a main course. Waited way too long to be seated, there was no one seated at the tables. Waiter forgot we were sitting there and the hostess picked up the slack. I hope to try this place again and have a better experience in order to update this review.
