"Bangin! Everything was incredibly flavorful and tasted like it was made with love. If you want proper Latin food on the island this is the spot. Right when we walked in the owner/staff were very friendly and helpful. She gave us samples of everything we wanted to try to help us decide what we would like to order. The pork/rib combo was my favorite, the chicken was delicious as well. Our plates were massive combos of yellow rice beans, pork/rib and chicken with sweet plantains. I don’t know how I managed to almost finish everything but it was too good not to. We were also given their home made hot sauce which was spicyyy (for me at least) and packed with a punch of flavor. I couldn’t leave without trying their tres leches, and it did not disappoint. Sweet but not too sweet, with hints of spices coming through. The best part is that it was sitting in the delicious dessert soup so you can soak the cake in for more flavor. They also have a new Nutella tres leches I will have to try the next time I visit. And their Dominican sodas are very tasty and a bit less sweet than Jarritos."

"If you are looking for a private room for a party I would recommend HIGHLY La Piazza in Merrick! I worked with Ashley on a surprise board for my husband. I cannot say enough about the professionalism, hospitality and quality of La Piazza! Ashley was so keen to create a party tailored to my husband Mike. We had to re-sedulate it from February to March because of the Covid spike and they were so accommodating....no problem ever! Our party hosting this day, Erica, was exceptional....she was there to anticipate my need to keep the party running smoothly to keep the decoration, the video presentation that we had planned, music/micro that was requested and the timing of the dishes served. Bread baskets, water pitches wine were constantly refilled...Gases were taken drinks while the socialization and tables were kept clean all 4 hours. The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish was served hot and there was enough for seconds and even third parties! They delivered the event cake from Dortinos Bakery, which is amazing! I was able to ask him to be decorated on the subject. The event was a great success with guests who thank me and the food service rave!"

"10 outta 10. This place is da best. The pizza is the best in the area and every employee is so kind. They always try (and succeed) to make you feel welcome. Walk into this joint and the first thing you see is a couple stereotypical Italian long islanders behind the counter talking about pizza or some sh*t and then you order their wonderfully priced food, take a bite, and you'll be stuck in the shop like a fly in a flytrap. Also, my grandma is boys with one of the ladies behind the counter and if that isn't a good enough indicator that this place is valid, then I don't know what is. Bonbino's has grandmas approval!"

"Eat there pretty often. Whiting fish with fries was good. My man really enjoyed it. The wings are good, best when fresh. I’ve asked them to make fresh chicken and they had no issues. (If ordering over a certain amount)Chicken over rice is good too.I wouldn’t order sides (mash potatoes/macaroni) or even the cakes/ sweets. they look like they don’t move much."
