    Excellent food and service. Popular, so make your reservations as early as possible. Friday & Saturday maybe a week or more before.

    My first time here at the former Sandros (my wife has been here previously). Much better decor and seating arrangements than before. A bit noisy as it filled up (around 7: 15-7:30) but passable. Nice to find some new (if not necessarily original) dishes at an Italian restaurant. Good bread and focaccia with a nice, mild (not peppery) olive oil with lots of actual olives in the dish. Had fried zucchini (can get with calamari as well for a higher price) that was ok; zucchini was not thick but more like thin French fries which makes it less flavorful. Arriabiata sauce instead of marinara made it a bit spicy for dipping. Portion size on the small size for the price. Salmon came with a delicious sauce and accompanied with (my choice over spinach) haricot vert (a bit soft) and roasted potato slices. I could have eaten it all but that would have been an effort so stopped and took home rest. Wife had a pesto pasta with a red sauce on the bottomn and a melted cheese on top. She loved it but also took some home. We're not dessert eaters right after dinner preferring to skip but choices looked good. Service was quick and efficient. I'll certainly give it another try.

    The food and service was fantastic! Love that Alessandro comes out and welcomes you to his restaurant. You want to feel like a guest in someone’s home when you go out to eat, and you definitely get that experience here. This was my second time here and the first time for my wife. She loved everything! Will be going back soon!

    The first time we went we thought Alessandro’s was very very good. The service was great, the food delicious. The second time was disappointing and the third time equally disappointing . The food was mostly underwhelming, not every dish, but most. The service this time was really poor. Everything was “just ok”

    Alessandro’s Italian is a wonderful new addition to the Manhasset area. Chef Acquista is a master of his craft making everyone feel at home at his authentic, cozy restaurant. The food, ambiance, and service are all first class with a well deserved designation by the LI Chaine des Rotisseurs. Buon appetito!!!

    This was our first time at Alessandro’s. The food was delicious and the service excellent. We particularly enjoyed our appetizer of fried calamari and zucchini. We will return.
