MERIDIAN KITCHEN Locust Valley 516-676-2620
Asian, Continental, American Fusion is the concept of Chef Gary Lanza.
Meridian is a cornucopia of taste from outstanding sushi to classic dishes like Duck l' orange and Steak au Poivre. Meridian has a chic inviting atmosphere designed by Greg Lanza the owners brother. The cocktails are outstanding and the wine list fantastic. Small and intimate reservations a must.
Since 1955 this Classic Italian gem has been creating a warm family atmosphere with true authentic dishes. The old school charm will make you feel like you are with friends. I love so many of the dishes but I do crave the pasta with lobster in a fra diavolo sauce. So good ! Make sure you save room for dessert. http://www.isleofcapriny.com/index.html
Get ready to eat ! This is hands down the tastiest chicken on the planet because it is cooked over wood charcoal. If you are feeling really motivated order the Rodizio. Different style of juicy meats keep coming until you cry uncle. If you are not a carnivor no problem the fresh fish dishes are just as delicious. Make sure you ask for Portuguese wines and do not forget the egg white dessert.
Delicious authentic Italian dishes always makes me happy. Luce offers all of that with a beautiful ambiance and great staff. They also have amazing fresh fish dishes that can be prepared any style you like. A must try. Make sure you order a nice bottle of Aglianico or Falanghina if you stop by.
