carmela;s and marsala's are seconds from my house. carmelas is excellent but I prefer gino's. marsala's is still new but I dont like the owner because he robbed my son of $10 when he was 11 and I got the massapequa news on him and he flat out denied it. I would never give him business again.

I go to gino's every friday for dinner.

gigi's is also good.

it happens in alot of businesses. unfortunetly, restaurants can get away with it because they can claim that the "tips" they get force them to lower thier wages and they say the tips make up for it. the bottom line is that the employees accept it when they get hired but cry about it later.

for instance, I used to work at Sol's luncheonetter back in 89 (now its marsallas pizza) they offered me $2 an hour but mininum wage was $3.35 at the time. when everything was said and done, my pay at the end of the day would equal out to $3.35 an hour, with tips.

I can't believe they robbed an 11 year old geez! ... we haven't been there in a long, long time. I haven't been to GiGi's in ages either. When we do have a pizza night, it's usually Friday and we take out from Gino's. At times we eat there..always so crowded!

I use to work weekends at IHOP in Massapequa when I was in school (100 years ago) I also made something like two dollars an hour plus tips...

yea, my son found a $50 bill on the floor one day, by marsallas. he looked around to see if anyone had dropped it and the only guy that was there was the owner of marsallas. my son, approached him and asked if he had dropped it or known who had dropped it. the owner said "no, but if you give me $10 out of the $50, ill make sure the owner gets it when he comes looking for it." my son, being young and gullible, accepted his deal. when my son told me what had happened, i became furious that a guy would take advantage of an 11 year old like that. I confronted the owner and he flat out denied it. I will never, ever give him any type of business again. not to mention that he employs drug dealers!

that is something about the $50.00 to do that to anyone, let alone a kid! That is a low life thing to do for sure. I was there a few years back..I can't remember exactly right now, but there was something in my food..it grossed me out and haven't been back since...

I worked for IHOP when a man George owned it.. his daughters also worked there, Marilyn & GiGi. we love ihop..but I hate the parking lot.. it is always a problem to park there...some times we go to the one in Babylon on sunrise..we also go to Country Kitchen on Hicksville Rd. I have cut down on eating out, it's just a treat now and then (to me when I do not feel like cooking..lol)

again? I guess this is round two for them. or maybe even more that we are not aware of. It's a shame, they have a nice restaurant with good food, can't understand why they would want to tarnish their reputation like that.

Like most of long island, the town divide is divided along racial lines.
While there is some fact to the above statement there are white people living on the north side of sunrise hwy. You can not travel from directly fron Copiague to Lindenhurst on many streets because they are blocked. Most of the people in Copiague are hard working middle class families with 1 or 2 jobs trying to maintain their home. There are some rental home and these are always a problem. Stay away from a rental.

I don't have anything bad to say about the school system, If you do you can send them to Saint Martins.
