Best Authentic Restaurants in Islip

Good food, attentive servers, nice atmosphere. There for Sunday brunch.

First time dining at Primi, everything was top notch. Service was perfectly attentive but not in your face, everyone was so pleasant and welcoming. The food and drinks were fantastic. They even brought a desert with a candle for my husbands birthday, which even tho I have noted on open table before at other restaurants, it has never been acknowledged. Primi is definitely a step above the rest.

I had a great experience at Butera’s. They were great with changing my reservation last minute and being flexible for accommodations. The food came out super quick and staff was readily available to help. This might be one of the best meals I have had out dinning.

We got cocktails from the bar prior to sitting which were delicious. We had the calamari/shrimp etc app which was great. I got the steak, which was delicious and my husband got the pork. The pork was not our favorite as it was a little tough/dry. We finished it off with a pumpkin cheesecake which was also very good. I also love that I can get a glass of Sancerre which you don’t often see.

We have been visiting Mythos for many years and have never had a bad meal here. It continues to stand up to that standard. My favorite is the Branzino, always cooked to perfection.
