Buon appetito! Long Island is known for Italian food and Newsday’s food critics had no shortage of trattorias, osterias and ristorantes to visit for this year’s Best Italian restaurants in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. The list contains eateries that focus on the regional cuisines of Italy, but also includes those serving the related but distinctive Italian American repertoire that includes chicken Parmesan, stuffed artichokes, Caesar salad and penne alla vodka — dishes that, ironically, do not exist in the Old Country. Check out the full list in the link in bio. - - #longisland #bestitalian #italianrestaurants
