Inside and Out: Ruvo in Port Jefferson
While we didn’t see any food during our visit to Ruvo in Port Jefferson, we still wanted to take our readers on an exterior and interior tour of this revered italian eatery on the north shore. Located almost waterfront, Ruvo is an italian eatery curated by the same ownership as their other location in Greenlawn, La Tavola in Sayville and Del Fuego in St. James. The open atrium, bright colors and bar area certainly holds the key to any type of dining experience.
Focus On: The St. James Dining Scene
St. James is our favorite dining destination on the island for one reason; it’s a small hamlet located in the Town of Smithtown, but in its tiny footprint lays a veritable treasure trove of amazing restaurants in every price range. This is worth a day trip to experience the variety of cuisines as well as the talented chefs that are carving their way through Suffolk. We’ve hit up a few of our favorites to show our readers what lies in waiting for you once you make the trip out.

The Cold Cheese Slice: Little Vincent’s in Huntington
Little Vincent’s in Huntington is known for many things. It might be known as the spot on the corner of New York Avenue and Main Street that is open into the wee-hours of the morning on weekend nights or for their great pies. One thing that we’re sure they’re known for is what differentiates them from the crowd; the cold cheese slice.
In Photos: Gino’s of Long Beach
One of the oldest restaurants in Long Beach, Gino’s is a family-owned establishment that has served generations of locals wonderful pizza and other italian specialties for as long as most can remember. It’s undergone renovations over the years and is probably more appealing on the eyes than the Gino’s that you remember from the past.
Photo Tour: Salvatores Pizzeria in Port Washington
Since 1996 Salvatores has been rocking out pizzas in the north shore community of Port Washington. Just a little ways away from Manhasset Bay, but not exactly overlooking the water, the restaurant is famous for its high-heat, coal-fired pies. Just don’t expect any slices here – they’re not welcome.
In Photos: Ciao Baby in Commack
Italian cuisine, Frank Sinatra on the sound system and way oversized portions are the hallmark of both of the Ciao Baby locations on the island. While Massapequa, on the south shore, is home to one location, we hit their north shore Commack location to be treated to some of their interesting menu items.
