Best Family Style Restaurants in East Norwich

Stellina is not your typical crowded Long Island Italian eatery where people go to be seen. Instead, it's like a café in Italy. The ambiance is wonderful, and the staff is easy to talk to and incredibly accommodating, taking care of special requests without hesitation. The food is fantastic—from the salads and wood-fired oven pizzas to the homemade pastas, Zuppe di Pesce, and lasagna. Stellina is worth the drive to Oyster Bay and is a standout.

Steve's is quality and quantity at a fair price. We will be going back again and again

I recently celebrated a birthday at Plado in Glen Cove, and it was an incredible experience! The restaurant offers a unique tapas-style menu, allowing us to try a variety of dishes, and each one was outstanding. The steak and lamb were cooked to perfection, but the real standout for me was their cavoletti—an exceptional Brussels sprouts dish bursting with flavor. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the service was top-notch, making the evening even more enjoyable. While it’s a bit of a drive from the south shore, Plado is absolutely worth the trip for a special occasion or a memorable night out. I can't recommend it enough!

We had a Christmas dinner for 8 people, my wife & myself are the only ones that have been here before, now there are 8 fans of this consistent & excellent resturant. You would be hard pressed to find a better all around resturant. Maybe the only complaint was the noise level, which is high but not overwhelming like so many other restaurants. I’m scheduled to return with a party of 7 before 2024 closes. 👍

The cutest little spot for an afternoon or night of festive fun! The outdoor igloo experience was so cozy and cute all while watching Christmas movies and snacking and drinking on our holiday themed cocktails! Thank you for such a fun afternoon that made us even more excited for Christmas! Thanks for the great service too!
