FeedMe’s annual Top 50 restaurants project shines a light on the very best restaurants on Long Island. And this year’s list is more diverse than ever, with new additions serving Dominican, Lebanese, Pakistani and Cuban specialties. You’ll also find food critics’ picks for the best regional Chinese, Indian and Italian restaurants. From fast-casual to fine dining, you’re in for a treat.

ABOUT THIS SERIES

Newsday restaurant critics strive to dine anonymously while reviewing and pay their own way. Editorial decisions are made independent of any advertising and marketing relationships eateries may have with the company; the only thing restaurants could do to get on this list was to blow us away. In this year’s expanded write-ups, we’ve given a sense of every establishment’s history, vibe and ambitions. Menus and prices change frequently — if you are looking for a specific dish or have a firm price ceiling, call ahead.
