For anyone who wants to satisfy their East Coast Italian craving, Nick DiAngelo is the place to dine.

These elegant family-style Chophouses are known for their gargantuan portions of Italian–American favorites such as hearty steaks, fresh seafood and unique pasta dishes.

Newsday’s Joan Reminick wrote, "It's stylish, it's hot...room for all kinds of appetites and budgets" in her review of the Merrick location.
