25 years at this "bustling" Melville hub for both "business meetings" and " family celebrations," "gracious" hosts make folks "feel welcome" as they dig into "large portions" of "delicious" Continental and Northern Italian Favorites. The first to turn a veal chop into veal parmigiana and the first to offer sushi at an Italian Bistro "crudo" Italian Sashimi. Our Sushi Chef ranked 3rd best sushi on Long Island. The Cirella family owns and operates restaurants in some very unique locations. While shopping, don't forget to look for our sister location Gastronemy located inside Saks 5th Ave in the Walt Whitman mall. Each Restaurant is managed by a family member which means you can always find a cirella around "our family serving yours" has become our slogan over the years.

I’ve been to Halston many times,it’s become our go to Restaurant. No matter what you’re in the mood for they have it. The staff is phenomenal. John, the manager always makes sure that everybody is at their top game and makes you feel at home. I’ve eaten almost everything on that menu and there is nothing that isn’t good. Then you’d bring the desserts and forget about it . So if you want amazing steaks or sushi or fish this is the place. It is also one of the only restaurants I’ve been to where when they tell you the specials they tell you the price so you have no surprises when you get the check. Truly a great feature.
