Best Cozy Restaurants in Bayville

Food was great as usual, my son loved the lobster mac and cheese so much we had to order an additional one to take home . Service was excellent as well.

The Tavern had a great old house feel. Menu had plenty of choice and some great specials. Food came out quickly and hot. Desert menu had good choices also and I enjoyed the Warm Apple Crisp with a Hot tasty Double espresso. I will return.

Spectacular dinner with our brother and sister in law at Gioia in Oyster Bay tonight. It was our fourth time there and their first. We split appetizers of grilled cauliflower with ricotta and pistachios and warm mozzarella with prosciutto de Parma. Normally, I hate cauliflower but can’t imagine not ordering it there as it is just so good. Everyone enjoyed it. The prosciutto in the mozzarella with prosciutto de Parma tastes a cut above from other restaurants I’ve been to and melts in your mouth. My husband had the tortellini; his brother had the Gnocchi Bolognese; his wife (a picky eater) had the capellacci; and I I had the gramigna. Throughout the dinner my husband wouldn’t shut up about how he loves that place and how good it was. (So much so I wanted to hit him! 😂). Everything was perfect and our brother and sister in law both said they’ll be back. We had a little bit of a wait for the table (but not that long) so the apologetic manager said our first round of drinks was on the house. The pours are generous. The food portions look small, but they are really all you need. You leave satiated without leftovers and enjoyed a delicious meal. In my visits there I have had the mushroom lasagna, the ravioli, the capellacci, and gramigna and honestly can’t say which I liked best. Cappuccino was perfect too. Excellent wait service. Can’t wait to go back for a fifth time and turn on some more friends. (Not many pictures because background pretty dark.)

The igloo is a very cool experience. On top of that the food was very very good. 10/10 recommend if you are looking for a more intimate date night with exceptional service.

We did the cookie decorating experience. Service was great and attentive!
