The setting of this restaurant, which has become a landmark in the Village of Huntington, is delightful with an atmosphere that combines European flavor with a casual yet sophisticated country look, contemporary Italian menu and a courteous and knowledgeable staff.  The bar area with a handsome granite-top bar is a chic place where you can enjoy a drink and a light snack.

Owner Roberto Ornato likes to think the vibrant decor and the exquisite food is what sets Jonathan’s apart from the rest, an accomplishment recognized by Zagat, with an “Award of Distinction” and was voted as one of America’s Top 1000 Italian Restaurants.  Executive Chef Tito Onofre heads the kitchen staff and designed the new lunch and dinner menus.  Free range chicken with lemon and rosemary sauce, risotto with wild mushrooms and truffle oil, and homemade spinach tagliatelle with Bolognese sauce are a few examples of dishes that have become instant classics.  All the luscious desserts including the signature creme brulee are made daily.  Zagat calls the dishes “refined Italian” with “lovely specials” and the wine list “impressive” at this “high-end standout.”

 
Jonathan’s is one of the few restaurants to combine a temperature controlled wine cellar and Riedel glasses with a wine list well stocked with wines mostly from small vineyards in Italy, California, Australia and France.  This wine list has won Wine Spectator “Award of Excellence” 2004-2012.  Service is warm, friendly and knowledgeable at Jonathan’s where you can have the same great food for your next private party on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.
