    I was so happy to get to experience the dome. As a f&b manager myself I have nothing but kudos to give to this establishment. It was lovely from the first second we walked in until the moment we left; staff was so nice, calm and attentive despite it being busy. Food was so good. The decor is really cute too. I would 100 percent go back! Shout out to Isabella and team for doing such a wonderful job.

    My third time here and never disappoints. First of all, the staff works so well with one another. The food was so good. Recommend the drunkin vodka. I had with the pizza and eggplant. We enjoyed the Igloos and it was so comfortable on a rainy chilly night. Defiinitely going back hopefully soon.

    Sitting in the Igloo was awesome. The weather outside was cold and damp, but inside it was warm, cozy and festive. The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating especially our waiter Oscar who went above and beyond to please each one of us. It was a wonderful experience .

It means the world to us that you had such a memorable experience, and we can't wait to welcome you back again soon!

    The service is always impeccable! Everyone is very friendly, attentive and personable . The food is delicious, you will not be disappointed what so ever.

    Pietro’s of East Meadow is truly a hidden gem! I’ve been coming here for years, and every time, it’s nothing short of fantastic. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm, family-friendly atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The staff is always so welcoming and attentive, and this time, we had the pleasure of being served by Elva, who was an absolute delight. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal.
