“La Parma was one of the first Italian restaurants on Long Island to serve extra large family style portions,” say owners Tony Gralto and Dominic Gregorio. The restaurant is open and airy with large windows, modern skylights, beautiful woodwork and a friendly atmosphere. You can even go into the kitchen and observe the food being
prepared. They are very supportive of the community
and their many awards which they’ve received for their
donations to local charities are on display. The restaurant in Williston Park was recently expanded and remodeled.
Tony, who was born in New York, manages the front
of the house at La Parma. He is a seasoned restaurateur
and worked in the kitchen and front of the house of many fine restaurants on Long Island.
Dominic, born in Avilino, a town near Naples, Italy, is the chef. They each have more than 25 years experience in this business. Dominic has won many awards including “Chef of the Year” from the National Registry of Chefs in America, which the restaurant also received. He specializes in Neapolitan
cuisine and all his dishes are made to order. Dominic’s
signature dishes include Lobster Fra Diavolo, Linguini with White Clam Sauce, Chicken Scarpariella and Seafood Salad with shrimp, calamari and scungilli. All his sauces are homemade and all pastas are from Italy. Among the homemade desserts are Italian cheesecake, tiramisu, and freshly filled cannolis. Reservations are accepted only for New Years Eve, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.
La Parma is highly rated by Newsday and The New York Times and rated “Excellent” by the Zagat Survey. All three restaurants have the same high quality control with Anthony Castelli at La Parma II and Guido Ienopoli and Richie Failla at La Parma III. PRIVATE PARTIES; BUSINESS LUNCHES;
