Needed to order in some family-style for a group of friends tonight, and we remember really liking La Parma ll I. The early pandemic. I never write poor reviews, but the food was so weak and awful tonight, that I had no choice. We ordered Chicken Parm, Meatballs, Linguine w/ White Clam Sauce, Caesar Salad, etc.and everything tasted either awful, or had no flavor, except perhaps too much salt. It was so bad, that our kitchen didn't even remotely smell appetizing from the spread of food. They are fooling NO ONE! I will NEVER EVER be ordering from there again. Shame on you LA PARMA!

Came here last night for dinner and started out with the bread basket. There was something seriously wrong with the butter that came with it. It's as if someone made it ahead of time and refrigerated it along other foods. It had a terrible taste and I know I wasn't the only one because the table across from me was also complaining. I ordered a Cesar salad that was not good at all and my friend had the Burrata salad with roasted red peppers.
The cheese tasted old as if it was expired. We shared a chicken Parmesan which was just mediocre. The prices are so expensive and does not reflect the food served. Please save yourself and go somewhere with better quality food.

Hands down some of the best italian food around. Been going there since 1988. Some of my favorite dishes consistently have been linguini with third clam sauce and baked clams. If you have the appetite tbd chicken scarpiello off the bone ( white or dark meat ) is also a real treat. The la Parma salad is equally good Got to end the night with an espresso and canoli Consistently great food service and Anthony in the kitchen does NOT disappoint.!

Went for dinner with friends recently and very much enjoyed this place. Great cocktails, good menu and nice service. Family style portions were perfect for 4. Calamari salad app and baked clams were delicious. Pasta was very good as well as was our veal entree. Finished it off with a yummy almond cake, tartufo and cappuccino. Nice place would go back.

Very disappointed in this restaurant. Went online to look at menu and prices. I ordered over the phone and thought it weird that I was not told total which should have been around $130. Picked up order and was told bill was $165. They raised prices between $5 and $7 each item. Chicken scap went from $26 to $33. Manager told me they can charge what they want and asked me if I saw increase in supermarket. Not close to what they gauged me. Will not return. Buyer beware.

A tremendous shout out to La Parma II in Huntington! We had my brother's surprise party outdoors, and everything was absolutely perfect! They were extremely accommodating, and everyone said the food was delicious. We had chicken, veal, clams, cavatelli, delicious potatoes - you name it! We had kids who needed chicken tenders (and some 20-somethings decided to order tenders too - that aroma was enticing). Latecomers who needed special meals. The kitchen made everything perfectly! The staff was beyond amazing. It was a wonderful day, and I'm so glad that we chose such an amazing restaurant!

What a great find! Started with a pizza from their wood fired oven. Unbelievable Next, I had one of their specials. Wish I could remember what it was called. It was phenomenal. The other members in my group all raved at how great their meals were as well. This place cannot be missed. They also recently changed their tents around, put in area of pavers and added chandeliers and tent liners. Wow!
