Located in the heart of Bay Shore, ITA, short for Italian American, provides a fine Italian dining experience with a more casual environment. The 2,300 square-foot eatery serves classic Italian specialties with a new age twist. On the menu, you’ll find lunch and dinner options like calamari, pesto risotto balls, veal chops, quinoa bowls and more.

Pasta options are also plentiful; choose from classics like the burrata ravioli with basil pesto and heirloom tomato or the one-of-a-kind “Zinguini” with shredded zucchini, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, asparagus, corn, heirloom tomatoes, mushrooms and toasted almonds. Savory side selections include broccoli rabe, Italian street corn and homemade “softball-sized” meatballs made with a blend of pork, veal and prime NY strip steak.
