Al the owner and Vinny the manager have always greeted me warmly which has never gone unnoticed. That complimented with the finely prepared dishes have made Etalia my new go to spot. The first time I went I had Penne Ala Vodka that looked and ultimately tasted so good that I completely forgot to take a before picture. So, I ended up taking a picture of my nearly empty plate. I'm not a fan of mushrooms, which is why the picture to left shows mushrooms in sauce. However I do like the flavor they add to dishes so I didn't mine them.
On my next visit I ordered baked rigatoni and chicken noodle soup from their 9.99 menu. I was in heaven. The soup was absolutely the best soup I've ever had. The chicken was plentiful as well as flavorful. Mixed in were various tender veggies, spices and of course noodles. They definitley know how to make homemade soup. That will be my go to take out dish especially during the colder months. Following the soup I had the baked rigatoni. It was baked with the perfect blend of cheese and sauce. They did not skimp out as so many other restaurants tend to do. I ate half of my large portion and for the rest of the day looked forward to eating the other half for dinner. Heated up at night, the dish again filled me with delight.
Today, I went back for a couple of slices of pizza. Pizza is pizza right? NO! If you've been to Juniors in Halesite then you know the difference between good pizza, average pizza and bad pizza. Like it's sister restaurant, Eatalia has really good Pizza and I'll leave it at that. Run, to this new restaurant located at 34 New in Huntington. From the minute you walk in, you'll feel welcomed and when you leave you'll feel absolutely content. And trust me when I say, your palate and your belly will be happy :-)
