Groppelo’s

Groppelo’s is no longer in business :(

If you want to sit out side by the water to eat. This is the place to go. There pizza is yummy and a good size. Wine and pizza cant go wrong. I really enjoyed there antipasto.

This place is outstanding. The food is delicious and the service tops it off. Tonight I had a Caprese Salad, Baked Clams, and Crab Cakes (amazing) for appetizers. I had Gnocchi with an Arrabiata sauce for my entrée and Tartufo for dessert.
The appetizers were great and Gnocchi was delicious. It was actually pretty funny because on the menu it mentioned how the Gnocchi was «the most fluffy and soft Gnocchi» and it really was. I believe the Tartufo had figs in it which also tasted great and was enough for 2 – 3 people.
You don’t necessarily need to get some big dish though because they also have great pizza and panini’s.
The view is across the street from water and in the summer it’s quite nice sitting on their outside patio having panini’s for lunch. Also great for summer nights.
You really get a great vibe eating at this Resturaunt, it’s filled with a wait service that you can really build a relationship with and food that always leaves you more then satisfied.
I would highly recommend this Resturaunt. I have been here multiple times and as a previous reviewer stated this seriously is a hidden gem in Port Washington, NY.

A hidden gem in Port Washington. Exciting gourmet food and service in a charming environment. We sampled homemade pasta, a terrific caesar salad, and fresh and delicious Filet of sole. that was simply out of this world. Maury, the owner, is a delightful, and knowledgeable restaurant pro, & worked his way up from the kitchen. Maury loves meeting new clients and exceeding their expectations. The restaurant has a very nice selection of excellent Barolo wines. Soft Jazz music, wonderful view of the waterfront, and outdoor seating when the weather gets warmer. A great place for the entire family at reasonable prices!

I would not return to this restaurant. We (3 people) went in around 1:30pm on a weekday. There were only two other tables. The waiter/​owner/​manager (?) was friendly, but not overly helpful.
We ordered a pizza and a panini sandwich.
The sandwich was so bland that we mixed olive oil and balsamic to make a dressing for it, and still left half of it.
We ordered the venezia pizza, which only has tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil, parma prosciutto, salami and onions. Not a difficult pizza to make, but it still came out without basil. The tomato sauce was incredibly sweet. It clearly had sugar in the ingredients, WAY too much sugar. It tasted like a candy more than a pizza. When we asked for the basil, we were told it’d be about 10 minutes, but they didn’t take the pizza back so it got cold. I asked them to put the basil on the pizza, then place the pizza back in the oven to heat up. The pizza came back heated, but the basil was put on after the pizza came out of the over. At this point we gave up.
The place really looks great, and appealing, but the food and service were just not worth any $$. So, I/​we would not go back.
