ragazzi italian kitchen & bar

a welcomed addition. i think there are some people in this world who should just stick with chain italian restaurants.ragazziis a beautiful new gem of a restaurant across from the smithaven mall. the owner, roger, is very attentive to his business and is almost always there, which is very important for consistancy.

the portions are not huge, but satisfying. if you order a pasta dish dont expect too many leftovers, but a meat dish and you may just want to force it down due to its greatness. the pollo lizanno is my personal favorite. chicken with a flower shaped piece of mozzarella stuffed with prosciutto and umm something else ontop, served in a divine pink cream sauce. instead of butter they bring a garlic humus to spread on a variety of breads, it takes a bit of courage and some getting used to but its rather addicting. also, ive never tasted food this fresh, its weird... you can just taste the freshness like a seperate flavor.

overall great restaurant and it is vying for the title of my local favorite italian joint, if i was forced to bring home a doggy bag it just might emerge victorious.

cozy and delicious. i've eaten atragazzifive times now and enjoyed it every time. the service is wonderful and very friendly, the place is beautiful, and most importantly the food is perfect. i read a bad review of this place and it makes me question the person writing it. i love it there.

ragazzis- good time. i like the drinks. i love the food. my husband loves the pesca dena with amaretti cookies and mascarpone. we've eaten there a few times. i love the penne con asparagi i really enjoyed my dish- pollo shabano last night. i loved theragazzirazz (always have) and the martini with the rum floater.
the staff are really friendly and nice. i like the lighting and our reservations are right on time. (busy weekend too) the assortment of breads are good and what you put on the bread too. i really enjoy this place.

pleasant surprise. what a great lunch today atragazziitalian kitchen. chose this restaurant only to it's proximity to smithtown mall, where i was meeting out of town cousins, and what a pleasant surprise. the food and service were outstanding. will definitely come back.

loved ragazzi. i had my daughters bridal shower atragazziitalian kitchen and bar, on sunday august 12th 2012 and it was wonderful. the service was unbelievable; rodger (the owner), brian (manager), and staff went out of their way to accommodate my family, making sure our party which included, 65 people was served with drinks and food all night. we selected from the catering menu, party package #2, which is 29.95 per person and included
antipasti - choice of:
any three appetizers from their menu
(served family style)
insalata - choice of:
mixed green salad or
traditional caesar salad
entrée
choose one chicken entree
choose one veal or fish entrée
choice of two pasta selections
all entrees served with vegetables
we had so much food, the appetizers we chose, which were delicious were rice balls, mozzarella fresca and calamari “ragazzi” followed by the salad, then the main entrée, i had was salmon livornese, which was outrageous. we had a beautiful day, at a gorgeous restaurant, with great food and service, and we ended the day by opening presents, with coffee, cake and fruit. half of my guests were italians from brooklyn, soragazzihad a tough crowd to please, and i have to say everyone left feeling very satisfied, with no complaints. the following day, my phone was ringing off the hook from my friends and relatives telling me what a great time they had. thanks again, rodger and brian atragazzifor making my daughter’s day as special as i wanted it to be. she was so happy and i am glad i choose ragazzi.

terrific!. we had an office party atragazzilast week and the place was just great. the food was everything we could have wished for. the setting was just gorgeous. the staff was wonderful. and they're doing all that for a very, very, reasonable price. it's amazing.

disappointed. this is our 2nd visit to ragazzi. our first experience was better than the second. maybe it was our meal selection. my husband's veal milenese was bland and my pasta was very ovet cooked. the atmosphere is nice and the service is good. we may giveragazzianother chance but not any time soon. for good italian go to la capannina in holtsville or savianos in sayville.

we triedragazzifor the first time tonight as we visited the kids at stonybrook university. we all enjoyed the atmosphere, large dishes, and delicious desserts. we had to wait 10 minutes- not complaining. the service was great as well. highly recommend this restaurant.
