Viva Loco
2381 Merrick Rd. Bellmore, NY 516-679-5900
Dressed in festive colors, swooping drapery and art placed here and there, this Italian/ Mexican restaurant reaches out past providing meals and moves into the nightlife category. With a Thursday karaoke night that has stayed a busy event for years, the bar here turns out many a margarita to the patron who is more interested in party than pasta --although there is plenty of penne ready to order. In fact, the list of rigatoni, fettuccine and linguine is long -- as is the selection of entrées, whether your choice is a pizza from the wood-burning stove, tacos, fajitas, steak and chicken that make up the bulk of the house’s popular dishes.

Manhattan-style eatery with a tropical theme serving a fusion of Mexican and Italian cuisine. The atmosphere is casual, airy and cozy.
Karaoke: Based on its festive decor and Italian-Mexican menu, this colorful restaurant is already plenty of fun - but it's also one of the more popular karaoke spots in Nassau County. Expect a dedicated crowd of regulars. 9:30 p.m. Thursdays.
