Nearly four decades of handmade pasta, hand-stretched dough, and a dining room that feels like someone's house, because in a lot of ways, it is.
Ciminelli's opened its doors on Central Avenue in 1987 with one mission: cook Italian food the way it was meant to be made, by hand, with care, and without shortcuts. Nearly forty years later, that hasn't changed.
Our kitchen runs on tradition. Every sauce starts from scratch each morning. Every dough is hand-stretched to order. The menu is built around what tastes right, not what's cheapest or fastest.
We have professional staff who actually know the menu, and we've built a following in Bethpage and across Long Island because regulars keep coming back, and they keep bringing people with them.
We're proud to be a neighborhood anchor for the Bethpage and Farmingdale community, and for families across Levittown, Plainview, Hicksville, and the rest of central Nassau County. The kind of place where locals pick up a pie on a Tuesday and book their anniversary dinner on a Saturday.

Nearly four decades of Italian cooking in Bethpage, Long Island.
It isn't one thing. It's the whole kitchen.
No corporate ownership. No franchise playbook. The same family has run this kitchen since day one, and it shows in the food.
Sauces started every morning. Dough hand-stretched to order. No jars, no pre-portioned bags. Just the real thing.
Staff who actually know the menu. Tables held for regulars. The kind of room where the second visit feels like the tenth.
427 Central Avenue since 1987. We know our neighborhood, we know our regulars, and we take both seriously.
