Excellent. Generous. Hot food was hot and the cold food packed separately so it would stay cold. I've been eating Borelli's food for 40+ years, the food is delicious.

This place is terrible, sounds like the other reviewer is the owner or something. Looks like it hasn't been updated since 1955, the bathrooms were filthy...makes you wonder how c...

The BEST of Long Island/NY 5/5/2011

A Long Island Legend. A Classic.\r \r The food & reputation is so well known.\r \r Everything, I mean everything is made fresh that day.\r If it is not sold that day they throw it out, \r \r unlike other struggling cafe in East Meadow with a copy cat similar business name.(Marcellia Bocelli is my favorite Porn Star) more

Really Good! 9/19/2010

The food here is really good! Delicious Italian food: I eat here pretty often. The staff is kind of lukewarm, and you can tell they have their favorite clientèle, but they do a good job! more

Theres a reason Borrelli's has been around since the 50s! 6/9/2009

I used to go to Borrelli's since i was a kid, and recently went back for the first time in a couple years! The food and service is still great! everytime i go there it brings back an old memory, especially the original tiled wall. I was shocked to see they started to remodel! i believe they are in the process of remodeling, they have a brand new bar it's huge, and looks great! can't wait to see how the dining room comes out The hostess said they were eventually adding on a private room and redoing the ceiling and other parts of the dining room and bathrooms! i guess its time to remodel since they have been around so long... and i am excited for it! Definitely Try the Shrimp Marinara parmigiana and BAKED CLAMS! best baked clams around.. oh and the chef salad is quite amazing, its my kids favorite!! Pros: Great Family owned restaurant more

Average Italian Food 2/20/2009

The food was ok Italian food, atmosphere was family friendly and loud. Maybe it was just our waitress, but service was invisible all night. I would recommend to families heading to the coliseum, not for a date. more

Overpriced, cafeteria quality food is the best way to describe it. 4/22/2007

This place is terrible, sounds like the other reviewer is the owner or something. Looks like it hasn't been updated since 1955, the bathrooms were filthy...makes you wonder how clean the kitchen is. There are plenty of decent restaurants on Hempstead Tpk. this is not one of them. Tomato sauce tasted like they just opened a can and poured it on top of the pasta...no seasoning ,no flavor...horrible. Fried calamari tasted like it was cooked with oil that was a month old.\r I'll admit it is very popular and always crowded, I have no idea why. Maybe the pizza is good, but the entrees were no good. Not recommended, spend your money somewhere else. Pros: None. Cons: Food was just not good. more

long island landmark since 1955 home made mannicotti , pizza tops, owned by the borrelli family 3/27/2007

what can i say ,BORRELLS is one of the best family restuarants on long island.I have been dinning there for over 20 years. Whenever there are family get togethers or birthdays we always choose Borrelli's! The Pizza has an original taste that has been with them for over 50 years.. besides the pizza, my favorite dish would have to be the Veal sorrenito, or the shrimp maranara parmasian. The staff is very welcoming and treat us as apart of the Borrelli's family. Unlike chain restaurants, Borrelli's is a One of a kind FAMILY oriented restaurant. Borrelli's is also located in a convenient location by the colliseum, where we can go for dinner before or after a show or game! If you haven't been to Borrelli's yet, i reccomend you do! And I am sure you will feel the same as my family and I do. Pros: Great food, excellent staff Cons: Borrelli's is closed on Mondays more

Borrellis Italian Restaurant 5/20/2005

This place is a standout for that old time feel of an Italian restaurant before all these gourmet type places started coming in. Good parmigian plates served by a friendly waitstaff make this a good place to go at any time of year. They also have some good personal pizzas too. Being close to theNassua County Collisium and right next to Eisenhour park make this a good destiantion before or after your event. The owners, the Borrelli family have been operating this place for a long time and know how to do it right. I'm getting hungry. PROS: Family friendly CONS: none more
