Visit Nassau County, Long Island

Saltano’s of Rockville Centre, Long Island, is run by cousins Sal and Gaetano. Kenny caught up with Chef Gaetano—aka the “Tano” in Saltano’s—who has been crafting pizza for over 40 years and is introducing exciting new flavors to RVC. 🍕🍕 On your must-try list: the Garlic Knot Pie, a classic pizza topped off with a ring of buttery garlic knots along the crust. Don’t miss the Boom Boom Cajun Chicken pie, the Brooklyn Pie (a thin Sicilian slice), and the iconic Cold Cheese Slice—#IYKYK. These are not your ordinary slices and are definitely worth all the calories! 🇮🇹 📍 Saltano’s Pizzeria 2 N Park Ave, Rockville Centre saltanospizza.com #moretoexplore #516foodies #nassaucounty #nassaucountyli #nassaucountyrestaurants #rockvillecentretny #rockvillecentre #rvc #rockvillecentreli #welove516 #wareeskennyeating #saltanospizza #saltanos #garlicknotpizza #longislandpizza #pizza

Dario Carosi has earned a reputation as one of the top artisanal pizzaioli in Nassau County. Originally from Rome, Dario brought authentic Roman-style pizza to West Hempstead, putting his own unique spin on a beloved classic. 🍕🍕 So, what exactly is Roman-style pizza? 🇮🇹 Picture a long, rectangular pie, often sold by the slice but available as whole pies too. In this episode of Ware’s Kenny Eating, we had the chance to step into the kitchen with Dario as he walked us through the process of making some of his signature creations: the Italiano Pie, the White Pie Classic, a Broccoli Rabe & Sausage pie, and the Birra pie topped with chipotle mayo. 🙌 Definitely give Dario’s a try. It’s a must-stop for any and all pizza lovers. 🍕 📍 Dario’s Pizza 239 Nassau Blvd, West Hempstead, NY darriospizzali.com #moretoexplore #516foodies #nassaucounty #nassaucountyli #nassaucountyrestaurants #westhempstead #westhempsteadli #welove516 #wareeskennyeating #dariospizza #romanpizza #longislandpizza #pizzalovers🍕❤️
