Rustic Southern Italian kitchen with strong influence from Tuscany. All professional staff with over 30 years experience."It is most certainly a gourmet establishment with a menu from top to bottom that is exquisitely creative with tastes and flavors and choices that make selections so joyously difficult--and with a wine list to match food and pocketbook. Consider this the now best Italian restaurant in the state. Three cheers for Biagio the chef.""Concealed jewel, but easily accessible off the parkway. Esteemed staff that goes about taking care of your every need, especially the maitre d'. Exceptional menu with meals that make you crave for more. The homemade pasta dishes are unequaled to any place in the state. This is an elite restaurant that I will entertain my family and my business clients at. Head chef will go above and beyond his means for satisfaction of customer."

    Farm Italy is one of maybe (3) restaurants in Huntington at this level of overall quality. Food and experience was very, very good. The service we received from Justin T was outstanding, proper yet not overbearing or annoying anything requested was quickly furnished. Only improvements might be that the decor is not exceptional yet it is pleasant and once a small child within earshot left the noise level was excellent for conversation without speaking loudly. A little surprised that bread and exceptional olive oil was not brought to the table. Small item but prefer water in a goblet with abundant ice. On food appetizers were exceptional. We had mussels with tomatoes and Calabrian oil, mista salad and burrata with tomatoes, crostini, and balsamic. We wanted to try every appetizer. As this is an Italian restaurant we went with Pasta and they did not disappoint, properly al dente and not swimming in sauce. We truly look forward to returning to try the rest of the menu soon.

    The Menu at Cast Iron Chop House is vast and truly had something to offer everyone. We did not even get past the 20 or so appetizer options. We chose 4 and made them our meal. Each portion was very generous. The flavor profile and preparation of each dish was so well crafted. Our server Raoul was exceptional, a constant presence but not closing or intrusive. I will return for sure as we didn't tackle soups, salads, the majority of appetizers or any entree.
