For nearly seven decades, Borrelli’s Italian Restaurant has stood as a landmark in East Meadow — a true neighborhood staple where family recipes, warm hospitality, and community pride come together over plates of timeless Italian comfort food.
The venue itself feels like a place where stories are shared and memories are made. Inside, the atmosphere blends nostalgic charm with casual comfort. There’s a classic dining room with cozy booths, walls lined with family photos and memorabilia, and a lively bar area where locals gather to catch up over wine, pizza, or a midweek dinner.
What keeps guests coming back, generation after generation, is the food. Borrelli’s is known far and wide for its pizza — crisp, perfectly charred crust with layers of bubbling cheese and fresh toppings. It's the kind of pizza that hits just right whether you're dining in or grabbing a few pies to go. But the menu goes well beyond pizza. Signature pasta dishes, like penne alla vodka and baked lasagna, sit alongside hearty chicken parm, veal marsala, and a lineup of specials that change with the season. The portions are generous, the flavors are classic, and everything is made with care.
In recent years, Borrelli’s has introduced new energy to its long-standing reputation. Live music on select evenings, special themed dinners, and community-driven events have brought even more life to the restaurant. There's also a private dining space that accommodates everything from milestone celebrations to team dinners — all with the same welcoming feel that defines the Borrelli's experience.
From longtime regulars to first-timers walking in on a recommendation, Borrelli’s Italian Restaurant in East Meadow continues to be the kind of place where the food is familiar, the service is warm, and the tradition is proudly served — one plate at a time.
