We have been to Dodici a number of times throughout the years. Last night the restaurant was not crowded so the noise level was low. The menu had an entire page of specials. The waiter also said that if we didnât see something on the menu, they could prepare it assuming they had the ingredients. The service was very prompt and attentive. All around it was an enjoyable experience. The only negative was that we werenât told until the bill was presented that there would be an uplift for paying by credit card. It would have been nice to know that up front.
My family and I ate at Dodici recently. While there were plenty of tables in the front and middle of the restaurant, they sat us all the way in the back. When I asked if we could be moved, I was told âthe tables are arranged a certain way.â Not sure what that even means. I havenât had a racist dining experience in a long time (my family is black), but it felt racist to me. The final straw was when I spoke to the manager after dinner and she was unapologetically sorry and claimed no wrong doing. Will never eat at this restaurant again which is a shame because my family and I order their pizza for take-out all the time and I often eat there with colleagues.
Food and Service was absolutely amazing!!!
Have been going here for years & had many great celebrations Service has been declining. Waiting an hour for main course. Staff knocked something off table & just kept walking. Asked for water , one glass brought for entire table. Sadly, Will not return.
Anniversary
Love the Restaurant.. the Food and Staff are Great.
It had been a few years since I've gone to Dodici, and I was pleased to see that the food continues to be the star of this restaurant. The service is a close second. The Italian food is fresh, creative, and delicious. Even though the restaurant was not filled to capacity, the noise level was very high. And the noise wasn't coming from the bar (as in most establishments), rather the patrons. And they weren't exceptionally loud either. Just bad acoustics, I suppose. Still, the restaurant is definitely worth a visit.
The food was excellent and service outstanding. We were there for Restaurant Week and definitely will be back even though we live in East Islip.
First, the hostess was so classy and professional. She explained to us when we arrived that we would have to wait a little bit, no problem, we were 15 minutes early anyway. The waiter was great, the manager did his managerial duties. Raymond has a #1 staff at his restaurant.
Had a reservation for 7:15. They didn’t seat us until after 8pm. The manager didn’t even apologize for the wait, or offer to buy us a drink. Such a disappointment.
