Café Continental, in Manhasset, crafts sumptuous Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with a nod to classic style in its warm and relaxing restaurant. The stuffed artichoke with breadcrumbs and lemon butter sauce and the Littleneck clams on the half shell make most welcoming starters.

    Very consistent dining with attentive service and a great atmosphere that makes it feel like home. James, the owner, is ever present and Robert is exceptional. Cheech, Jose & the rest of the staff all make you feel comfortable. Try it............you'll like it!

    After moving to Key West Florida during Covid and returning to my old stomping grounds for a couple of weddings, I sought out old friendships at my favorite dining spot and it was a pleasure to see that Cafe Continental is as great as it’s always been. Familiar faces, each stellar at their jobs making the customer feel great. Hats off to Pete at the bar, Don Robert, Cheech, Gaetano, and the owner James. We all had a great meal, just like all the times before. If you’re in Manhasset or nearby, CC is the place to be for a great dining experience. Highly recommend.

    Define hidden gem - excellent food and service. Ambiance could be nicer - a little drab and dates but the food makes up for it!
