Café Continental, in Manhasset, crafts sumptuous Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with a nod to classic style in its warm and relaxing restaurant. The stuffed artichoke with breadcrumbs and lemon butter sauce and the Littleneck clams on the half shell make most welcoming starters. Some of Café Continental's specialty entrée dishes include the chicken Continental stuffed with prosciutto and mozzarella in a burgundy sauce, the crab stuffed shrimp and scallops with lemon butter and white wine and the filet mignon Rossini. Hand-made pastas like the fiore ragu flower-shaped pasta in a meaty veal sauce, the vegetarian spinach ravioli in tomato basil sauce and the paglia e fieno green and white spaghetti with pancetta and peas in a gravy sauce are some of guests' favorite plates.Café Continental also offers on and off-site catering, so you can enjoy its delicious dishes at any special function you host.

    Very consistent dining with attentive service and a great atmosphere that makes it feel like home. James, the owner, is ever present and Robert is exceptional. Cheech, Jose & the rest of the staff all make you feel comfortable. Try it............you'll like it!
