Pentimento Restaurant + Market

Amazing food! I can’t say enough about this place! We sat outside and it had a fantastic atmosphere, the servers were very nice and the service was fantastic. I had the eggplant panini for dinner and we got the watermelon salad for an appetizer. I definitely recommend! Don’t pass this place up!

World-class Italian restaurant in Stony Brook village, near the University. Really enjoyed my dinner: seared tuna; a non-alcoholic grapefruit drink and a delicious budino - think chocolate mousse, but thicker and delicious-er! Really knowledgeable and friendly server, too. I’ll be back.

Excellent. Thoughtful modern italian executed with finesse. Service was solid. Had the signature salad, pasta in a wild boar ragu, and affogato. Nothing was wildly outside of the box but all classics well done, with layers of flavor to be explored.

Pentimento has an amazing romantic new garden, they have a beautiful water fountain in the garden so we hear water running while having a great dinner.
Calamari, cheese board and ravioli with salami brings memories from grandma recipe.
Wow. Always my best place to bring my friends who are visiting from out of town to get the best hospitality.
Love you lisa and Dennis.

Really good authentic Italian food. Clean and service is great!

Friendly staff, comfy atmosphere. Handled party of 10, great small plate selections & reasonable prices! Recommend

Wow, really good and inventive food. I enjoyed the small plates to get a couple different tastes.

Fantastic food, fantastic service. Have no regrets or complaints. Would highly recommend for food/drinks/desserts!

The falafel sandwich was so delicious! The wine selection: outstanding. The service: loved our waiter, super patient and kind. Timing for service was spot on. The ambiance was great! Cozy, perfect volume for conversation and the lighting was relaxing and enjoyable. The menu had so many great choices! I loved the meatballs! Will definitely be coming back!

Hosts, management and staff are all lovely. Guillermo is our favorite waiter. He's so attentive even when he is handling every table in the room. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. The food is always always always amazing! We visit multiple times throughout the year. Once we even went two days in a row just to enjoy their atmosphere and try another one of their delicious and interesting dishes. It's a true gem of the neighborhood!

My favorite restaurant! Warm and inviting atmosphere, friendly staff, beautiful outdoor seating, and constantly rotating seasonal menus and daily specials make this spot a favorite among locals. I've been coming here for many years now, as both a special occasion spot and a date night favorite, and have yet to have a bad experience. As with any nice sit down restaurant, entrees can lean toward pricey, and on busier nights there can be a bit of a wait. I recommend making a reservation for peak times and weekends.

This restaurant has consistently delivered high quality, classy modern Italian food Over several decades. Recent addition of excellent and varied vegetarian options, makes this more attractive. Tasty preparations and courteous, efficient service. All in all, a delightful experience.

Food is always delicious and located in historic stony brook.

This is my favorite restaurant in Stony Brook. Every time I visited the food was phenomenal. Great cocktails (the only place I found on Long Island that serves Spritz - the same way as you go in Italy). Love the outdoor seating. You can really relax and enjoy a night out here (or lunch).

Went here to celebrate an anniversary, wanting to try something new, that had a decent amount of vegeterian options. I was highly impressed, from the fabulous food to the attentive service, it was a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. I sampled the cocktail menu a bit and started with a cheese sampler plate and the in-house made olives which were an absolute delight! The eggplant I ordered was crisp and tasty, I enjoyed the cauliflower as well. They had a decent variety for my food limitations which as pleasing. The desserts were amazing, everything overall was so very satisfying.. I honestly can't wait to return. I found a new favorite spot in Stony Brook.

Pentimento catered the meal for my covid micro-wedding. I can’t say enough about how wonderful they were to work with throughout the whole process—from planning to serving plates at tables.

Elaine worked magic for us. All our guests raved about the meal and service. Personally, as the bride, I feel so incredibly grateful for this wonderful group of professionals who went above and beyond to make our day great.

The Wait Staff was absolutely fantastic and went through the entire menu with us and made appropriate suggestions. Went here for a belated Valentines Day and we stayed for almost 3 hours. I have not had such a memorable food-experience in recent memory. The food was delicious and, you can taste the care that the Chef put into prepping each dish and that he has his craft down to a science.
Try the Cesar Salad!

Hi so we came in the middle of dinner with a party of 9, the food was amazing, apps drinks dinner dessert ….. ANNEMARIE was not only on top of everything , keeping our table clean super friendly pacing everything just right. It was my little sisters birthday and she truly helped make the night perfect . WHEN YOU GO MAKE SURE YOU ASK FOR ANNEMARIE

Love the atmosphere, i must say what a wonderful server we had twice. Her name is Jennifer, she is very attentive. Food is delicious. It is our new favorite restaurant. It is very clean to add.

Always a good choice, this place has a nice menu where you will find something for everyone. Well cooked, I went with a vegetarian and he was happy as well. Service was good and the atmosphere is date friendly but also good for meeting friends and colleagues. Highly recommended.
