THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. For me, Altruda’s is all about people… and homemade salad and garlic rolls. My story started with my mother, Geraldine Ida Altruda. Born in Italy in 1925. She made the journey to America when she was 12. She was the youngest of 13 siblings. Mama Altruda settled in Plainview Long Island, married, and had five boys. We all grew up cooking with mama in the kitchen. Large family dinners were one of my fondest memories growing up. The traditions centered mostly around the kitchen. Those secret recipes live on today. You can enjoy those recipes at our Altruda’s restaurant on North Peters Rd, opened in 1988. The care and attention has not changed for generations. We use only the freshest ingredients. Everything from sauces, salad dressing, to bread is all made from scratch on a daily basis. Our chefs arrive five hours before dinner to begin the process. All of our entrées are made to order to ensure the perfect union of flavors and appearance.

Ordered Fettuccine Alfredo and it was absolutely horrible, egg noodles and the Alfredo tasted as if it came out of a jar. The rolls were just frozen rolls and they were swimming in butter. Spent...
