The Basil Leaf Café Ristorante, owned by Vito Patronelli, is unlike any fine Italian eatery on Long Island. Nestled in a quaint shopping center between two buildings, our ristorante boasts two separate and equally unique dining rooms. If you are in the mood for a romantic evening with a loved one, cascading floral drapes and soothing green tones would suit your dining experience perfectly. If you are in the mood for a fun night out with family and friends, order a delicious meal in our other dining room. There, you will find a fantastic all brick bar, wood burning stove and vintage photographs adorning the walls. If you find yourself dining at our ristorante in the summer, you can also dine in the beautiful common patio separating the two dining rooms. We also have a stunning dining room located on the second floor for private parties.
No matter what dining room you chose to dine in, our dishes will delight your senses and satisfy your taste buds. Executive Chef Marco Divina, who trained in Northern Italy, creates the finest regional Italian dishes with a twist. You won’t find any heavy sauces or fried foods here. Our menu consists of a lighter fare made with only the freshest ingredients available. From fresh homemade spaghetti to succulent lamb chops, our appetizers, salads, pastas, pizzas and meats are superb. Our courteous and knowledgeable wait staff will assist you in creating the perfect meal and make sure your stay with us is a special one.
