Come hungry. Leave family.
Family recipes handed down through the generations, cooked to order — and the famous meatballs Jerry's known for.
Meet Jerry
Ask anyone in Westerly and they'll point you to Jerry. He grew up believing that a good meal is how you tell people you love them — and he's spent a lifetime proving it, one plate at a time.
He built Longo's to feel less like a restaurant and more like his own dining room: sauce simmering all afternoon, the door always open, and a seat waiting for whoever walks in.
The recipes were never written down. They were handed down.
Longo's takes its cue from the Sunday dinners that raised us — when the whole family gathered, the sauce simmered for hours, and no one was ever in a hurry to leave. That's the feeling we set on every table in the heart of Westerly.
The food is traditional Italian, cooked to order with the freshest ingredients we can find — nothing rushed, nothing pre-made. Pour the red, welcome the kids, and stay a while. That's how it's always been done.
Cooked to order. Made the Longo way.
If you know Longo's, you know the meatballs. Hand-rolled, simmered low and slow in our homemade hearty tomato sauce, and made the same honest way every single time.
This isn't the kind of place that keeps you at arm's length. It's a warm room, a long pour of red, and food that tastes like somebody's nonna made it — because, in the ways that matter, she did.
Come for a quiet Wednesday dinner or a Saturday full of family. Either way, you're treated like one of our own from the moment you walk in.
From the famous meatballs to family-style trays of pasta, chicken parm, and more, we'll bring the Longo's experience to your gathering — big or small.
Tell us the occasion and the headcount, and we'll take care of the rest.
Birthdays, anniversaries, rehearsal dinners, or a Tuesday that simply deserves a party — Longo's hosts private gatherings with the warmth of a family dinner and the ease of letting someone else do the cooking.
Ask about private dining and party menus, and we'll help you plan a night to remember.
Actor and author Steve Schirripa is a proud champion of Longo's famous meatballs — and a great friend of the family.
