Second trip here this time for dinner, food is very good from appetizers to dessert. Service was good overall great spot.

Ambiance (5/5): We dined on Sunday evening and about half of the tables were full. I loved the clubby/dance music in the background but liked that it wasn't blaring that we could hear each other. The décor with the neon lights were a nice touch and somewhere you feel like you're going to have a fun time! Service (5/5): Our server was sweet and checked on us often. We were celebrating a birthday and the staff brought out a sparkler candle, changed the music, and sang us HBD with the dessert. Food Pesto Risotto Balls (4/5): A unique way to enjoy the dish but lacked a bit of seasoning. I didn't love the texture (almost too gritty) but liked the hints of the pesto and cheese taste. Calamari (3/5): A bit rubbery and bland breading. I would suggest to forgo this dish! Burrata Ravioli w Truffle Pesto Cream Sauce (5/5): wow this dish was extremely creamy and rich with bursting flavor!! This was my favorite dish of the table. Ricotta Gnocchi (5/5): Another rich dish. I've never had a gnocchi so soft and inside so flavorful! Manny's Veal $34 (3/5): Two thin slices of veal topped with mozzarella on a bed of spinach. The veal was extremely tender but flavors were dominated by the marinara/tomatoes. It felt like an otherwise standard dish. ITA Spicy Rigatoni (3/5): The flavors were overpowered by the overly spice level but otherwise pretty good. Slashed on a layer of parmesan cheese to mute the spiciness. Cannoli Crumb Cake (5/5): Decadent cake with a lightness from the cannoli cream on the side. I enjoyed this one the best. Fried Rainbow Cookie Ice Cream Sundae (4/5): There was only a small piece of the fried rainbow cake and the rest was mostly some fudge and vanilla ice cream. It does come in a huge cup that is shareable for the table. Tiramisu (4/5)

Everything was incredible. I can't stop thinking about the SPICY RIGATONI. The flavor was everything, the added chicken cutlet was perfectly cooked. The pesto risotto app Ate leftovers for breakfast. There are no rules.

Gotta love ITA! This location is nice, they have a extension outside that's decorated so nicely. The menu is a decent size and the drink menu is too. I loveeee the grilled artichoke, has so much flavor and I literally can't get enough. The eggplant Marco is also one of my favorite dishes! It's nice and crispy and it has a delicious vodka sauce, it's the perfect appetizer. The service was amazing, the server was so attentive and had a lot of suggestions and recommendations. I love their truffle sauce so I always get it! And of course you can't forget about adding the cheese crown!

I came here for my birthday (second time going) and had another amazing experience. The service was great, but the food was even better. They had a "taco Tuesday" special where you get two breaded cutlets as your taco shell and your choice of pastas on the inside. I did the truffle cream sauce and it was to die for. Everyone at the table loved their meals and the portions were huge so we got to take home left overs as well. Would recommend!!

This was my first time at ITA Bay Shore and overall, it was a positive experience. I ordered the Spicy Rigatoni with a mozzarella crown. My girlfriend ordered the fish. First we ordered the bread basket because we were starving. That was a little disappointing because the first piece of bread was dry. Also, it bums me out to pay for pre-dinner bread. Even the local pizzeria serves a very delicious offering of bread before dinner but I guess because ITA is elevated Italian, perhaps it's a little too casual for an upscale restaurant. So, the bad news is they forgot to hold the stratiacella cheese. Then when my pasta came out, it was cooked past al dente. I was disappointed but so hungry. So I ate it. Then as I was putting the leftovers in the bag, to take home, I decided to say something to the waitress. Having to reheat it would cook the already overcooked, would turn it in to mush. And that was a $28 pasta dish, not including the crown. So I decided to mention it to the waitress because I'm sure they would rather me tell them, than give a bad review. They immediately apologized and offered to make a brand new dish to take home. On top of that, they also comp'd to desserts!! The Rainbow Cookie Crumb Cake, which was divine, and the Pistashio Cheesecake, also outstanding. So they get an extra star for treating the customer right!! I would recommend and come back again. I would order the Spicy Rigatoni again and skip the bread basket. Also, it's very cute inside. Insta worthy.

My friends and I always love going to ITA. The staff is super friendly and the food is GOOD! Besides the fact that you have to pay for a bread basket, it is a great ambiance and a very lively spot.

Came here for date night on Saturday. We had an early reservation, around 5:30pm. It wasn't crowded but music was loud. They sat us towards the back. Nice seating area. I noticed later on that there was also seating outside. For drinks I had an espresso martini which was delicious and slightly different as they add Kahlua. My husband had a scotch on the rocks. Not much to say about that lol. For an appetizer we had the fig crostini. Highly recommend and would come here again to get this. For dinner, I had the Chicken Burrata Caprese. This portion was enough for two people. The chicken was crispy and the salad on top was fresh. My husband had the Sweet Chili Salmon. There was not a crumb left on his plate so I guess it was good. For dessert, the hubby got the Affogato. I gotta say the gentleman came to the table and served it correctly by pouring the fresh espresso right onto the ice cream in front of us.
