Best Seasonal Restaurants in Hicksville

Food and service excellent! We ate outdoors in the tent. It was either cold or hot. The ambiance was like going to a picnic. Disappointing

I brought my niece here. First time for both of us. Superb! I had the Smoked Old Fashioned cocktail, with the smoke adding a nice layer of flavor to the drink. The layering of flavors was the theme at Rustic Root. We shared the crispy Brussel Sprouts and Crispy Artichokes. Again, excellent layering of flavors with just the right amount of spice to both. For our main dishes I had the Scallops with Snap Pea Risotto and my nice ordered the Roasted Local Cauliflower with Farro. Again superb on both, especially my niece's dish. Many vegetarian meals in restaurants have no real depth to the flavors in the dish but here it did. My only suggestion would be to possibly offer two vegetarian dishes on the menu rather than just one. An excellent evening from beginning to end. Will be adding Rustic Root to my list of favorites and will definitely be back.

We took two other couples tonight for their first taste of Testarossa. One couple from Florida and the other N Carolina. Everything ordered was received with “Wows, this is delicious, and I’ve never tasted octopus this tender”. Each pasta dish was extraordinary a very filling. Our dessert was simple-2 tartufos for the table with a plate of fresh whipped cream.

Dinner was delicious. The meatballs reminded me of meatballs that I had in Italy… All dishes we ordered were plentiful and there was enough to have again for a second meal. Only complaint I had was that our table was by the window and it was a bit chilly but we sucked it up and didn’t ask to be reseated elsewhere when tables started to open up. We will definitely return again. The pizza looked delicious too!!

Wonderful from start to finish. Our server was knowledgeable of how each dish was prepared and assisted with choices that fit my diet. Mussels were delicious. If I was home I would have drunken the broth. Steak cooked and sliced to perfection!
