The Foundry In Hicksville Turning Heads With Unique Vibe

A brand-new eatery on Long Island is demonstrating that ideas may arise from the most unlikely sources, even the ground beneath your feet.

The Hicksville Foundry.

The Foundry, which launched discreetly in early March at 120 Woodbury Road in Hicksville, has received overwhelmingly positive reviews for its inventive cocktails, sophisticated American food, and unique d cor.

Original manhole molds and black-and-white photographs honoring co-owner Sam Potente’s family business, John E. Potente & Sons, adorn the walls. The company specializes in manhole covers made of cast iron and concrete.

The Foundry prides itself on enhancing American food by putting a distinctive spin on global preferences.

Highlights of the menu include dishes like pan-seared salmon, chicken francese on the bone, and pastrami-rubbed tuna with whipped scallion potatoes, as well as exceptional appetizers like crispy calamari, clams oreganata, and sweet potato fries.

While those with more substantial appetites could choose the fried pork chop with baked apple, pasta fans can indulge in hearty bowls of penne alla vodka.

The restaurant has a near-perfect 4.9 out of 5 star rating on Yelp, indicating that customers are impressed after just a few months of operation.

One Yelp customer commented, “Very lovely place with an upscale vibe but accessible to everyone.” To put it simply, the cuisine was outstanding.

On warm evenings, the restaurant’s outdoor patio eating is ideal. It’s located in a more sedate area of Hicksville with less foot traffic, according to one reviewer.

They wrote, “I hope it gets more attention because it’s in a random spot.” If you want good food and service, you should definitely go there!
