Uncle Bacala’s specializes in Italian-style seafood and other inventive dishes in its warm and cozy New Hyde Park eatery. For a tantalizing start to your meal, enjoy the mozzarella in carrozza cheese-stuffed fried country bread and the mashed potato and mozzarella croquettes, both served with marinara sauce. Some of Uncle Bacala’s house entrées include the breaded salmone in agrodolce served over eggplant in a honey garlic sauce, the beef filetto di manzo with mushrooms, roasted potatoes and spinach in gorgonzola-cognac sauce and the apricot-glazed grilled pork chop. Pasta dishes are also popular with diners at Uncle Bacala’s, with options including the baked penne gratin with pancetta and cheese in a creamy sauce and the zucchini linguini fra diavolo, all of which can be made gluten free. Round out your amazing meal with a homemade dessert, such as the fruit and caramel topped Belgian waffle Waffellini.

    The food was very good and the venue was very cozy. The service was excellent with frequent visits to our table and “checking” to see if we needed anything. The portions were large and there were many leftover boxes taken home. Of note, the calamari as an appetizer were outstanding. They were small, tender, not gummy or chewy. A nice touch at the end of our meal was a cotton candy centerpiece, which we all picked at and enjoyed. A wonderful dining experience!

    The lunch special is a winner! Can't beat the price, choices and service. It's a good deal to host friends.

    We went to enjoy a nice New Year's Day dinner and we were disappointed. The food was ok. When I went to pay, they would not take the gift card, as they are EXCLUDED on holidays. Also, they went ahead and included a 20% gratuity on the bill (never said anything) for 3 people. They never provided the cotton candy, that is given to all the tables once the check arrives. Honestly, I don't plan on going back. Just going to use the gift cards for a take-out to use the cards.

    We arrived 5 minutes before our reservation. After a 10 minute wait we were seated. I ordered the baked cams and my wife had the zucchini flowers. Both were very good. For dinner I had veal sorrentino. The veal was a little tough. My wife had the short ribs. She said they were excellent. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. Overall our experience was ok , but when we tried to pay with a gift certificate the waitress informed us that “gift certificates were not valid on Holidays. We have been to many restaurants and never encountered this issue.
