Came here for the first time for happy hour, the specials are only available at the bar or the lounge which is essentially two bench seats. We made two, the rice balls and Sliders were good and the big clams were okay. Specials were pretty decent for happy hour and everyone enjoyed their dinner. They did have a DJ which was a little unusual and a bit too loud and unexpected as well. Didn’t really add anything.

Ate here Saturday night with a group of friends and the food and service was excellent. The favorites to start were the stuffed artichoke, make sure and get bread as it’s perfect for dipping in the broth/sauce leftover from artichoke. The stuffed mushrooms and meatballs were also delicious. I had a MASSIVE osso bucco and enjoyed it. Since we had a big group we sat at a larger table but the bar area has a perfect spot to hang out there and grab dinner and drinks too. Valet makes it very convenient and all of the staff seemed to have a great time. Make sure and finish to meal with an espresso martini

We had such great meals and fantastic service here. They accommodated our rather large group and gave us a private area. The appetizers were so good and we were really happy with all our food. Alex was the BEST waiter, and honestly, every single person who came by our table to help clean and serve was fantastic! I look forward to my next meal here for sure!

My fiance and I went to Vespa in Northport last night for their happy hour. We sat at a 2 top in the bar area. The bartender (forgot his name unfortunately) was attentive and patient. From 4-7pm they have 25% off cocktails, wine, and beer and $10 apps. We had a glass of Cabernet, a seasonal beer (forgot name) on draft, and 3 apps: the margarita pizza, mini antipasto board, and the meatball sliders. Everything was delicious and we took most of the pizza home. I’ve been there for dinner and lunch and their other dishes are just as delicious. I highly recommend Vespa for a great night out. The decor is lovely, the music isn’t loud and the service is wonderful.

The word Vespa for over 75 years has been a growing luxury brand. So it is no coincidence for a superb Italian eatery to run with tge recognized name of Vespa. Because inside are large crimson high booths reminding me of the ones I sat in Venice. So private and comfortable to seat at least five adults or an intimate spot for two! They have multiple dining rooms, an outdoor tent as well as a well sized bar. The staff is attentive, friendly, and deliver big smiles- the kind of greeting you’d expect in any restaurant in Italy where food is king! And here, you will find culinary expertise meets quality foods in generous sized portions. Appetizers devoured included tasty Fried Calamari, creamy Burrata with prosciutto, roasted red peppers in a balsamic glaze, Mozzarella Fritter – a hefty portion with a spicy tomato dipping sauce, a hearty fresh salad topped with shaved cheese, and deliciously seasoned Mussels Verde. And don’t forget the toasted garlic bread. We asked for more and more as it was that good! Our dinner selections included deliciousness overload with Chicken Scarpiello, Vodka Pasta, large Shrimp with roasted vegetables and pasta, Meditteranean seasoned Salmon grilled to perfection served on mashed potatoes and a lemon butter sauce and Pasta Basilico. We could not pass up the opportunity to try their decadent Cookies and Fudge Ice Cream Cake. So very glad we shared this delight! Our meals were expertly cooked and delivered timely even on a busy holiday. Bellissimo!

Had a family celebratory lunch here. It was a weekday, so the place was relatively quiet. Nice decor and lighting. I started with the Lobster Bisque. Piping hot and delicious, a lott of lobster. The Caprese Salad was very well presented and tasted as good as it looked. Fresh mozzarella with tomato and basil, fresh roasted peppers. The drizzle was excellent. The Rocket salad with grilled shrimp was good too. The shrimp were perfect. The salad could have used more dressing, but still crispy and flavorful.
The Prime burger was the tastiest burger I’ve had in long time. Cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomato.
My wife had the Filet Mignon, with mashed potatoes and crispy onions. Awesome.
My brother in law went for the Kansas City Strip Steak. Very good portion cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes were excellent. The Penne alla vodka with a side of fries for my niece, she loved it.
My wife was the only one to have dessert, chocolate chip fudge cake. Delicious.
Cheers.

Enjoyed a family meal here (including small kids) and were taken care of very nicely. We all enjoyed our food and drinks very much and the portions were large enough that we took home a lot. The kids were treated nicely and our whole experience was enjoyable. Would go back.

Walking into Vespa time stands still and the moment is yours! The staff are exceptional, genuine, serving you with charm. The atmosphere is warm, inviting and makes you feel like your in a romantic italian movie! The hostess is friendly and more than happy to accommodate any request you may have with a smile! The servers are attentive and aware when to come to the table as to not interrupt conversation.
The food is as incredible as the staff. To start they bring an amazing bread with oil. It’s warm and the flavor of the bread is delectable. The appetizers were amazing, and the skirt steak pizzaiola was cooked perfectly as requested and came with peppers, onions and mushrooms on top. It was served with mashed potatoes topped with crispy onions. All of the flavors complemented each other creating an exquisite dish! We also ordered a veal parmigiana, which isn’t on the menu, however they were happy to accommodate the request. It was magnificent exceeding all culinary expectations!
Finally, the finishing touch that concluded the perfect birthday celebration was the picturesque Tartufo for dessert. The chef presented an explosion of complementary flavors for the center filling satiating a decadent desire without overwhelming the dish with a heavy sweetness.
The menus have an amazing array of choices from drinks, appetizers, entrees and desserts all very reasonably priced for the quality and portion sizes. It’s perfect for any budget!
Vespa Italian Chophouse in Northport is the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or have a beautiful evening out to dinner with family!

Almost a month ago I visited Vespa with 3 other adults. I have raved about it almost every weekend craving to go back! I loved it!
From my mule as a drink, arugula salad for an appetizer and the chicken milanese… I could eat it over and over again.

Went for the first time with a group of four. We shared the rice balls which were huge. The taste was good , unfortunately it was cold in the middle. Our entrees were average, the chicken piccata didn’t have much flavor at all and my wife wasn’t thrilled with the bolognese. The deserts were good though and our server Dan was great and went out of his way for us so that was a plus.
