Always a fabulous meal ! The veal chop parmigiana is amazing along with anything you order.

Unfortunately, my experience at La Ginestra didn’t quite live up to the hype. The ambiance was fine and the service was okay, but the food was underwhelming. For an Italian restaurant, I expected more flavor and freshness — the dishes just felt a bit flat and uninspired. It wasn’t terrible, but definitely not a place I’d rush back to. Glen Cove has better options for Italian if you’re looking for a memorable meal.

We called and they stayed open late for Ross’s birthday. Julie (100% five star service) recommended we start with the clams and the fresh made that day pasta. Both were off the charts amazing. Our group had the chicken, veal and Bronzino and the fish was some of the best I have ever tasted.
Thank you guys. The only thing better than the food was the attitude and service of the staff. I would give them 10 stars if I could.
Happy birthday Ross, hope you enjoyed your first night in NY. Now for the presents.

It’s been many years since our last visit to La Genestra. We had a lovely time with friends. The best compliment I can give them is I didn’t send back the food or get food poising. I’m not a fan but I’m very picky about my food. I won’t encourage or discourage a visit. There are many better choices in the area.

Got to stay in the upstairs room with several kids. They were able to move around without bothering everyone. Better experience for everyone.

Food was great. Staff was friendly. The appetizers we a little light in my opinion. The fried calamari was a little light in our opinion and should have had a lot more.
But the main dishes were plenty full and the food was great. My wife and I both had separate chicken dishes which were great and my friend had the veal which was really good too.
Lastly we had the tiramisu for dessert. That was very good as well. This place is a little gem and I would highly recommend it.

I came based on reviews and feel the food was barely even average, i can make what i was given at home from a frozen bag. The pasta was below average. i ordered the pesto, and i sent it back. The boss came and said it says it sells, like that’s a justification for terrible pasta, wont be coming back but overal it tastes like ragu sause to be used for the pasta. Not homemade.

A few friends highly recommended La Ginestra to my wife & I, so I went in anticipating a good experience. We were disappointed, food was average at best. Service was just barely decent. Maybe it was a bad night, will try to visit again in the future.
