Staff is NOT friendly. Very dry not welcoming at all. Been there a few times. My LAST draw was when the guy taking my order made no bones about sneezing all over my 2 slices. Ummm no thanks I will pass.

Good food and service. Nothing too special but definitely great for lunch. Their selection of wine is varied and their lunch specials are affordable. A must try if you are around town.

we came here for a quick bite before the wedding ceremony… to my surprise… this place is amazing… The decoration of this place a cute… as we sat down, the waitress brought us some freshly baked bread… it was so hot that steam came up when i broke them… We ordered fried calamari as appetizer… and it was so fresh and so good… the marinara sauce is so different than all other places, it has a kick to it… we also order a margarita pizza and penne vodka… both are so fresh and so delicious… i would say this is one of the best pizzeria i have ever been to!!!

Superior pizza and Italian food. There’s nothing better than a fresh out of the oven Sicilian corner slice! They bake their own bread and constantly have great specials. I’ve been going there for 10 years and wouldn’t even consider another pizza place. Salads are fresh and they will make it any way you ask them to. Owners and staff are super friendly. This is the epitome of what a mom and pop pizza place should be!!!

This is my favorite pizza place in town. I have tried their pasta and it is also excellent.

This place is convenient to my house, so it’s a shame that the cook can’t seem to find the salt for the entrees, and spilled the shaker in the tomato sauce. Please Gino’s, heed this critique!!! the quality of your ingredients seems good, too bad it’s flavorless

First time here normally go to pizza joint down the block. Pizza is NOT memorable. Very bland. The atmosphere is okay. Service is good. They just need to be a bit more hygienic. The server did not wear gloves. He was touching things then the pizza. Most importantly, they don’t have trays so if you’re staying, you have to make multiple trips to the counter for your food purchase. If this place is a last resource then by all means enjoy!!!

Average quality food that’s hardly«Italian»(unless you frequent strip mall restaurants regularly) is accompanied by friendly service and décor and furniture that were likely selected from a 1992 pizza restaurant catalog. The bread sticks at Olive Garden have more flavor but at least the beer was cold, although don’t ask for a beer mug. They serve it in wine glasses! This place reminds me of that last car you rented on a business trip. Yeah, I can’t recall either. Forgettable.

I’ve been coming to Gino’s for years. Honestly I find their pizza to be just ok. Only pass by when I’m near. Found some of their pasta dishes to be a bit bland. Service is pretty quick and the staff is friendly. Atmosphere is pretty nice. Plenty of seats. If your in the area and in the mood for some Italian, I would say to give it a try.

Best penne a la vodka and caesar salad on the planet. Period. You will literally never be able to enjoy any other penne a la vodka dish after you’ve had this one. Unbelievably fresh ingredients and it’s done perfectly every single time. Thank you, Ginos!

Expensive as Manhattan… uncaring counter help … comically small slices of pizza? I can certainly deal with that. But Gino’s food is some of the most jejune, bland, flavorless Italian fare I’ve ever had — there’s not a real standout dish offered here, and boy, will you pay for it. A couple of slices and a soft drink here can set you back more than eight dollars. Sure, if it’s good — but even Subway’s mock pizza sold down the block is better than this stuff, thrown at you like the morning paper by counter help that openly doesn’t care that you walked in the door. Post Avenue in Westbury has become legendary by Nassau County residents for its crappy delis and restaurants and dirty bodegas. In that light, Café Gino’s fits right in perfectly. In a county with such standouts as Umberto’s, Valentino’s, and Anthony’s Coal Fired, Café Gino is like a parody of a real Italian restaurant.

Café Gino’s is great to grab a quick slice or to sit down and eat a whole meal. The interior is spacious, very clean, and warmly decorated. The service is cheerful and attentive. Dinner starts with a hot(like burn your hands hot) basket of dinner rolls that are delicious. There’s something about their bread/dough at Gino’s that’s irresistible and addictive. Speaking of dough, their pizza is great. The personal«pizzettes» are actually big enough for 2 people in my opinion. I ordered your standard margherita but with extra cheese and garlic. Notable features: the crust is thin, the cheese is fresh mozzarella and they drizzle olive oil on top. Also, order the lemon pomegranate ice(it comes in an actual lemon shell) for $ 3.50. Fresh and sweet, it’s a great end of meal palate cleanser. If you need to stay awake, get their cappuccino which has like 1.5 inches of delicious foam on top. Gino’s is definitely one of the best Italian restaurants on LI.

Nice wide selection of pizzas and pastas but fairly pricey. The quality of the pizza is great but not exceptional. Still, this is a great place to pick up a nice slice of pizza when you’re in the mood and don’t feel like traveling miles to find a phenomenal pizza place. The space is spacious, neat, and well-decorated. The staff are courteous and helpful. Overall, this is a solid choice for Italian food, especially in an area where good Italian cuisine is fairly scarce. Food: 3.5÷5 — very good Service: 3⁄5 — good Atmosphere: 3⁄5 — nice Overall: 3⁄5 — good

Pizza was just okay, not very good. Also $ 10 minimum on a credit card is very inconvenient. I would come again if I was in the area and try pasta or something else but I wouldn’t get the pizza again.

We have been going here since moving to Westbury last summer. We have been there for lunch, dinner and had them cater a party of 30 – 40 people and the food has always been fresh, tasty and never any complaints. It’s a nice homey seating area and the staff is very friendly. It’s one of the better Italian eateries in the area without a doubt.

Don’t know who monitors their advertising information; well, at least what’s here on Unilocal,but it says«Delivery — Yes». Noooooooo, I called and they said«We don’t do delivery». So whoever is responsible for this misinformation, kindly fix it so that others are not as disappointed as I was.

Everyone knows that pizzerias are a dime a dozen here on Long Island, but Café Gino’s truly stands out amongst the rest. First of all, the food is amazing(that’s really why you’re reading this review, isn’t it?). Everything I’ve ordered at Gino’s has been fantastic, from the pizza to the entrees to the chicken rolls. And let me tell you, DOYOURSELF A FAVORANDGET A CHICKENROLL. You will devour it, and then probably order another one for the road. The décor is beautiful, and there is plenty of room to kick back and enjoy your meal while watching some TV. Maybe even enjoy a little espresso when you’re done. The staff is also very attentive and friendly to deal with(and quite attractive if I must say so myself!). All in all, this restaurant is top notch and a must try for anyone who wants a taste of Italy.

Food was good. Very homemade. Pizza place with dining area. Some of the entrees were a little over priced considering the portion sizes are average(not large). I would definitely come back again and try some other dishes. Everything looked yummy.
