A new culinary gem on Larkfield Road offers a unique dining experience, refreshing cocktails, and warm hospitality
East Northport has a new reason to celebrate: Alma Cocina is now open at 354 Larkfield Road, taking over the former Aegean Grill location. With its warm ambiance, full bar, and inviting décor, Alma Cocina sets the stage for a dining experience that’s both elevated and approachable. Guests can enjoy comfortable indoor seating, a relaxed soundtrack, and outdoor tables perfect for soaking up the season.
The Vision Behind Alma Cocina
The restaurant is the creation of Owners Eduardo and Executive Chef Catalina Criollo, whose passion for authentic Mexican cuisine shines through every detail. Chef Catalina has cooked and managed kitchens around the world, most recently serving as Executive Chef at Pecado in Bay Shore. Her global experience and culinary expertise bring a refined edge to traditional Mexican dishes, distinguishing Alma Cocina from the “cookie-cutter” approach of many standard Mexican eateries.

Enchiladas Verdes – oven-baked, creamy, tangy, and paired with rice and beans
Tres Leches de Coco – a soft, moist coconut-infused dessert that’s the perfect finale
To complement the meal, Alma Cocina’s bar offers handcrafted cocktails, including the crowd favorite Avocado Spicy Margarita—a refreshing balance of heat and cool creaminess.
