Longo’s is built on a simple belief: a good meal is one of the best ways to tell people you love them.
Meet Jerry Longo
Ask around Westerly and people will point you to Jerry. He grew up around the kind of Italian family table where Sunday dinner lasted for hours, the sauce simmered low and slow, and everyone—family, friends, and neighbors—was welcome.
Jerry carried that spirit into Longo Ristorante in historic downtown Westerly, Rhode Island. He built the restaurant to feel less like a dining room and more like your grandmother’s kitchen: warm, lively, generous, and filled with food made the honest way.
The meatballs that made the name
If you know Longo’s, you know the meatballs. They’re hand-rolled from a family recipe, cooked with care, and served in Longo’s homemade pomodoro sauce. No shortcuts. Just the kind of food that brings people back to the table.
Over the years, the meatballs became more than a menu favorite. They became part of the Longo story—shared at family dinners, celebrations, catered events, and with visitors who came to Westerly looking for a true taste of old-school Italian comfort food.
