Mamma Lombardi's is a family-owned traditional Italian restaurant. The Lombardi family has been actively serving food in Long Island for over 40 years. This little eatery has built its reputation on incredible Neapolitan recipes and a totally scratch kitchen. Mamma Lombardi's is a natural fit for large groups, as family dining is such a staple of Italian culture. The restaurant even has several private event spaces where diners can celebrate any occasion.Mamma Lombardi's menu is divided between lunch, dinner and the pizzeria. Pizza is such a versatile dish in the hands of the Mamma Lombardi's kitchen staff that it got its own menu with dozens of recipes as well as having a build-your-own option. The main dinner menu contains all of the classic Italian dishes diners could want: spaghetti carbonara, grilled filet mignon, chicken parmesan, chicken bolognese, penne with shrimp and veal milanese just to name a few.

A place to MEET & have a BALL! We are brand new to Patchogue & couldn't be happier to serve our local community freshly prepared meatballs a variety of different ways.Our idea began years ago when we realized the simplicity of the meatball and how it is a comfort food to many. We all grew up with our Grandmothers making Sunday dinner and "The Meatball" being the focal point of the day. We cherish those days of coming together with our families and the memories we created. Our goal here at "That Meetball Place" is to create an atmosphere for friends and families to gather together and enjoy each other’s company in a relaxed environment with a great vibe and simple food like grandma used to make. Our chef has taken fresh ingredients and developed meatballs, salads & sides to satisfy everyone in your family. We are excited for you to join us on this journey and please make us your "Place to meet and have a ball!"

    We went for dinner on a Friday night. Had a 6:30 reservation. Seated immediately. We each had delicious drinks and then some raw clams. Very fresh and flavorful. My husband had the special which was halibut and I had the swordfish. Both were perfectly cooked and delicious. Will definitely go back.

    Went with my two teenage nieces. I was delighted to see a menu that gave me a chance to try some unusual meatballs but included chicken tenders, steak, and mac and cheese that even my fussiest niece devoured The waitress was attentive, competent, and friendly. Great food and service. Worth a try.
