Food and service were great! Accidentally charged my card 2x. When I called Carmine did more than right by me. Credited my card back and felt so bad he also sent me a very generous gift certificate!! They are all about great food and even more so, treating their customer right!! Well done! Highly recommend!

Excellent Italian restaurant and never anything but great things to say about the food dishes, warm atmosphere, and wonderful service. Everything from the appetizers (baked clams, eggplant rollatini, hot antipasto, and more) and entrees, right down to the salads and burrata are great! Tons of delicious dessert choices as well. Always great specials as too. Very busy spot in the heart of Hauppauge! If you haven't been, it's a must visit, but make a reservation!

This is a great restaurant and we have been here a number of times. We had a reservation and were a party of seven. I would strongly urge anyone coming here to make a reservation as this is a very popular restaurant. Once we were seated, the server came right over and took our drink order and went through the specials. We had appetizers, salads and then our dinner. The food was fresh, hot and delicious with very generous portions. Even the desserts were fantastic. Our water and beverage glasses were kept filled and we did not have to wait for anything. The bathrooms were spotless, which sadly, is rare. The restaurant is a bit pricey but the service, food quality, and atmosphere make it worth every penny. This is a fantastic restaurant and you will definitely enjoy it.

It was our first time trying out this restaurant and it was amazing! The service was impeccable too. Richie and Carlo were excellent. It was nice gong to a restaurant that still follows a dress code and has that authentic Italian feel. They made my birthday special too. We cannot wait to go back.

The food at Sempre Vivolo is marvelous, and the staff are very attentive. I had two business lunches there last week, and the food was incredible both times. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful food served by knowledgeable, attentive and professional staff. Lunch here is a major treat as it’s busy but elegant with a very professional crowd. Ricardo is amazing and takes such good care of his customers. I highly recommend the Salmon. My husband had the ravioli in a pink sauce with scallops and shrimp. Just beautiful!
