Babylon Eatery Named Best Family-Style Restaurant On LI

BABYLON, NY — Long Island residents cast their votes and chose a Babylon eatery as the best family-style restaurant on Long Island for 2021, according to the Bethpage's Best of Long Island awards.

La Famiglia, located on 90 W. Main Street, received the honor this year. Last year, Ben’s Kosher Deli in Greenvale received the honor. Before that in both 2019 and 2018, Mamma Lombardi’s in Holbrook was named the best family-style restaurant.

Since it kicked off 15 years ago, the awards, sponsored by the Bethpage Federal Credit Union allow residents to choose the best countless restaurants, shops, and family-run businesses across Long Island.

"The Bethpage Best of LI contest is a roadmap to the best, top-notch businesses and services throughout both Nassau and Suffolk counties, as chosen by you, the residents and patrons who rely on them, every single day," the website reads.

Here's what Bethpage had to say about the local restaurant:

If you’ve got a family who loves to “Mangia,” La Famiglia will not disappoint them. La Famiglia in Babylon is known for its stupendously-sized dishes of meat and pasta. All plates are made to share, with each portion enough for two to three guests. If you’re dining in, get ready to be treated like royalty in a pristine, well-lit atmosphere. A Northern Italian family establishment, La Famiglia will know exactly how to please your family’s parents and tots as well. Enjoy a mouthwatering variety of appetizers, macaroni specialties, and perfectly-cooked entrees such as chicken, veal, and seafood. If a sit-down dinner isn’t on your schedule, stop by for a two-course lunch or get your next affair catered in style at home.

The restaurant also has two other locations in Plainview and Smithtown.
