Stresa is one of the nicest Italian restaurants on the North Shore of Long Island. We went for my son’s birthday and all had a wonderful time. Everything from the food to the service to the atmosphere was perfect!

Walked into Stressa on a Wednesday afternoon at 12 noon sharp. The restaurant had approximately 3 tables seated. Not a single Wai staff was visible, waited by the front door for approximately 2 minutes when I grew tired and walked inside the restaurant to look for a staff member to be seated. I went into the back of the restaurant by the kitchen entrance and waited another 2 minutes before I was seen by anyone to be seated. The restaurant does a virtual menu via a QR code by the table side, to accommodate for safety practices due to the covid-19 virus. The wait staff brought out some warm rolls and breadsticks, the breadsticks appeared to be imported from Italy and were a decent appetizer with the whipped butter they brought out. The rolls were a bit lacking and were on the hard and stale side…there was a bit of a refrigerator taste to them. Onto the main dish, I ordered the parpadelle with porcini mushroom sauce. The sauce for this dish was quite delicious as there were diced and sautéed porcini mushrooms in this sweet sauce…as for the parpadelle. You could tell the pasta was fresh however I question the chef who prepared the pasta today as I found certain parts of the pasta to be undercooked. I like my pasta al dente any day of the week however today’s parpadelle were inedible due to it being too hard. I tried my best to ignore that part but it virtually ruined the harmony of the dish, the sauce/ragu was perfect if only the pasta matched it would have been a great dish. Ended the meal with a cup of coffee which was a nice way to start digesting after a hearty pasta dish, the coffee comes with some slices of a almond biscotti and accompany the coffee quite well. All in all I think the food could be so much better if they were more attentive to the detail of the cooking time of the pasta.

I never write a terrible review but i do this in the hope that the lovely owners which were so hospitable actually begin tasting the dishes put out by their ridiculously incompetent chefs. The food was the worst I’ve had in ANY italian restaurant or even pizzeria in the last 10 years and I don’t only go out to high end places. We had 4 dishes in this 4/4 strike-out. The bland, overboiled Grilled Octopus, literally the worst i’ve ever had, was soft and squishy like playdo lacking the typical charry, grilled Mediterenean-spiced lemony bite. The meat’s flavor and texture had been sucked out of it by over-boiling. The Chicken Picatta was drenched in a totally flavorless starchy sauce not resembling the butter, lemon and white wine sauce meant to accompany the chicken – the blandness could not be helped even by the taste of the capers. The Chicken Scarpariella’s overpowering spicyness hit your tongue like a ton of bricks and preempted the delicate acidic balance of the cherry peppers and vinegar sauce typical of this dish. Bad to do it with balamic vinegar. Lastly the usually-cant-go-wrong-with turamisu, was a stale, overly sweet slice of badly presented pastry which topped off the miserable meal for both of us. How could such a lovely presumably experienced family allow such bad cooking is beyond me. The food was so badly prepared I did not know even how to begin complaining.

Came in for an early dinner with friends. The food was fairly good, not the best Italian food in the area. Presentation and food temperature were good. However, when a simple question was asked it felt like the waiter took offense to the question and stated”you’re the first to say that”. Felt rushed the entire time. Before we can rest our folk someone was ready to take the plate despite the fact that there was food on the plate. Several tables were empty at the time. Toward the end of the meal we were offered a plate of varied desserts complementary however, it felt like we were still being rushed. Didn’t get the opportunity to be offered a dessert menu. I’m guessing that would take too much time for them. When the final plate was being removed with food still on it the busboy shared he needed the table. This was not the service I am used to or expected. Disappointed!

Stresa Ristorante! From the greetings, to the wine, thoughtful appetizers that just appeared, the specials and the menu, all were delectable in every possible way.
