Franina's Italian Cuisine - Syosset

I had an incredibly disappointing experience at this restaurant. The service was exceedingly poor, and the food was served cold and dry. Despite there only being four tables occupied, we had to wait an hour before our service began, and then another hour between courses. I had to request silverware and ask for someone to pour our wine, which was not even kept on the table—I would have poured it myself otherwise. It's unfortunate to say, but this visit was truly terrible.

We've dined here multiple times and have never had a disappointing experience. The food is spot-on for an authentic Italian restaurant, and the decor is stunning. The table-side service is excellent, making it a classy and reliable choice—perfect for impressing a date. The food is outstanding, especially the Insalata Frutti di Mare appetizer, which is fantastic. Franina Restaurant, located in Syosset, NY, is a five-star establishment serving fine Italian cuisine. They offer a prix fixe menu, an extensive wine list, as well as takeout and catering services.

I've dined there multiple times, and the food and ambiance are exceptional—truly one of the best restaurants I've ever experienced. I also had them cater a party, and it turned out to be a tremendous success.

In the first picture, you can see the lobster seafood salad we ordered for Thanksgiving dinner. The wine room hosts regular dinners and can also be reserved for private parties. They offer a parking service as well. Plus, they boast an impressive Italian wine list stored in their massive wine cellar. Don’t miss the zucchini flowers as an appetizer—they are an absolute must-try. Regardless of what you choose from the menu, you won't be disappointed.

We had an incredible dining experience at Franina to celebrate my son's commitment. The restaurant itself is stunning, the service was impeccable, and the food was absolutely outstanding! If you're searching for a special place to truly appreciate fine dining, Franina is the perfect choice!
