We had an amazing dinner at this Italian restaurant in New York! Every single dish was delicious from start to finish. The appetizers alone were unforgettable. The mussels in white sauce were absolutely divine, and the broth was so flavorful it was honestly the kind of sauce you want to sip with a spoon (we saved some to dip our bread 🫣). The fried mozzarella was also a standout with the best cheese pull, perfectly crispy on the outside and gooey inside. Everything that followed was just as de

this is a lovely family run restaurant, the chef is very kind and offers to make changes to dishes without even being asked to. his wife is the baker here and makes amazing bread. we came for my brother’s birthday. each of us ordered a different dish, and each dish was a hit. we’ll be returning soon!

Everything about this Italian pasta restaurant was absolutely amazing. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the sauce was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. The service was friendly and attentive, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable.

5 stars to food, service and atmosphere!!!! Cozy and “moody.” They’ve got oldies playing with vibey lighting. I was really drawn by light fixtures at the bar and the overall design of the bar. Portions were perfectly sized, flavors were SPOT ON. Pictures really don’t do it justice but the brussel sprouts with arugula were really nice and cronchy. Beets tasted like a balanced appetizer dessert, not too sweet, the honey nor the Gorgonzola overpowered and the walnuts were a nice addition for textu

When we arrived early on a Thursday evening, we were the only guests in the restaurant. That didn’t last long, the dining room filled up fairly quickly. I’m not sure if that’s typical or if it was because it was the last day of Restaurant Week. Our server was attentive, and the owner was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. I really debated whether or not to write this review. In hindsight, I probably should have spoken to the owner directly. My impression is that he may not regularly taste the

The restaurant is located in the Bay Ridge section of Brooklyn. They prepare Italian cuisine. Several tables are available for dining in with servers. It is closed on Mondays. Pizza, pasta, appetizers, salads, entrees, heroes, wraps, rolls, burgers, sides, desserts 🍨 and beverages ☕️ are on the menu. Catering and private parties are options. I ordered a margherita pizza 🍕, eggplant roll 🍆 and side order of meatballs. The food was average in taste and flavor.

thanks to Roberto and Valentina, who provided outstanding service throughout our visit. Roberto was incredibly friendly, attentive, fast, and always making sure everything was perfect. Valentina was also amazing — very kind, professional, welcoming, and attentive at all times. Both of them truly made us feel comfortable and well taken care of from beginning to end. The food was excellent, authentic, and absolutely worth the visit. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was warm and enjoyable. The

There are four types of restaurants in the world. NYC has a lot of restaurants that are expensive and are good or those that are cheap and are good. Unfortunately, Bar Italia is expensive and awful. I was charged $39 pre-tax, pre-tip 19 pieces of chicken cubes (yes, I counted)! The manager had the GALL to say “well we made it already so BUON APPETITO!” Completely disrespectful, arrogant, and awful! If I get charged $39 pretax for “half chicken” (as stated on the menu), I expect a half chicken.

By far the best Italian I’ve ever tried. My god it was delicious. The mussels tasted really fresh and the soup gots all the good flavor from the mussels. Pork shank incredibly tender and goes great with the creamy potato’s. Veal chop was grilled to perfection to medium and is absolutely stunning.

Canlon's in Oakwood delivers an unforgettable dining experience. The "Crazy Eddie" sandwich is a masterpiece of flavors, and the Beef Wellington is perfectly executed, a true testament to Chef Eddie's "Chopped Champion" skills.

Interesting experience but quality food. Firstly, after asking 3 people from bar tender to front desk, nobody knew where my event was. The food was flavorful and tasty but steak was a little cold. As we had the private room we needed to go through the kitchen to use the bathroom. So it was good because of the people, conversation, ambiance and overall food. It was timely, portioned and flavorful. Just bring the bread before appetizers please.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding end-of-year celebration venue — exceptional service, food, and execution My school held our end-of-year party at Verdi’s of Whitestone, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The staff was consistently attentive, professional, and highly accommodating throughout the entire evening. Every request was handled quickly and seamlessly, which made hosting a large group feel effortless. The food was a standout. Every course was fresh, well-prepared, and served

From the moment you step into this casual, cozy Italian eatery, you are treated like family. The manager, Jumar, greets you, and his friendly banter and hospitality will immediately put you at ease. The menu offers all of the classic Italian dishes. There are plenty of salad, pasta, and entrees to choose from. We started with the Fried Artichokes and Zucchini. This beautiful, mouth-watering golden appetizer was light and airy and piled high with a fresh lemon wedge and dipping sauce to add

Best pizza in Manhattan—no contest. The crust strikes that rare balance: perfectly crisp with just enough chew, and the cheese is exceptional—rich, flavorful, and clearly high quality. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, the kind of place you want to linger. The owners set the tone—genuinely friendly and attentive. Gina, in particular, made a lasting impression; we chatted at length, and it felt like catching up with an old friend. This is the kind of neighborhood spo

An old school traditional Italian restaurant where you can tell every piece of gnocchi was made by hand. Incredible find in the hood. Very hospitable staff (especially when we showed up with a baby in a bassinet and had to take up extra space). Would recommend the octopus starter, chicken marsala (so flavourful!) and gnocchi.

By S.Carrelli: Bella Blu is AMAZING. I have been going to Bella Blu for my whole life and it has always been great. Everyone is so nice and the food is so delicious. The pizza is also great and they make it gluten free very well. Some of my favorite dishes are the Spaghetti Chittara and the margarita pizza. I like that the waiters are actually Italian, and the restaurant has an authentic feel instead of a chain restaurant. I highly recommend to anyone who wants great Italian cuisine. If you ar

Had an amazing meal here with 3 friends. Got a take for Saturday dinner at 8pm but showed up early at 7:15 and they were able to seat me while I waited for friends. It was so so nice of them. The staff is amazing and super warm and welcoming. The atmosphere is dim ish w candlelight. Fun sexy vibe. Would be good for a date I think. The food. Incredible. I love that the menu changes but there are some definite specialities. Get the fava bean dip, also all the pastas are amazing. They have fun moc

There’s something truly special about Campagnola that keeps me coming back. It feels like stepping into a different era, where everything is a little slower, a little warmer, and a lot more authentic. The old school Italian atmosphere is exactly what you hope for but rarely find anymore. It’s not trying too hard, it just is. Soft lighting, classic decor, and that comforting sense that generations of people have sat in those same seats enjoying the same timeless dishes. And the pasta… honestly,

Antica Trattoria (Fresh Pond Rd) This is a great old-fashioned Italian spot that feels like a real neighborhood trattoria, not a trendy “Instagram” place. The vibe is classic and cozy, with that old-school, dim-lit dining room energy where you can actually relax and enjoy the meal. Food is consistently delicious and tastes homemade. They start you off with bread, and everything we tried was the kind of comforting Italian you want: rich pastas, solid pizza, and really good appetizers. Highlight

I absolutely love coming to this place; the food is always good and consistent, the service is warm and friendly! Their portions are generous and ordering a few entrees can be shareable between a few friends. They have happy hour nearly everyday and their coffees and pastries are perfect. I highly recommend their chocolate lava cake. Special shout to Alfredo specifically for his exceptional service!

What an incredible spot on the island! We ordered 12 pies for a birthday party down the street. The owner personally helped me carry them on a 5 min walk, which I insisted he didn’t have to. We talked about how he started the restaurant and that it is a family affair that he and his brother put a lot of their time and energy into. I appreciated his genuine kindness and positive energy. Most importantly, THE PIZZA WAS DELICIOUS. The parents and children alike loved the pies and everyone had seco

Service at this restaurant is always great however this time around both pizza and the veggie pasta were very bland in flavor. It felt more like hospital food than an Italian explosion of flavor. Disappointed.

My Favorite Italian Restaurant in Manhattan If you’re looking for an authentic Italian dining experience in Manhattan, look no further than this charming family-owned gem that has been delighting patrons for nearly 30 years. The warmth of the staff, many of whom have been with the restaurant since its inception, creates a welcoming atmosphere where you’re sure to see familiar faces on every visit. The food is nothing short of spectacular, with everything made fresh in-house. My personal favori

Delicious! We had the vodka pasta and the midnight spaghetti and both were excellent. We also got the pie dye and that was literally perfect, no notes. One of my favorite pies in the city now. Loved the spicy marg and my husband enjoyed his whiskey sour a lot. Staff was super friendly. Onlyyy little problem we had was that I had this res booked for months and we still got seated at the bar, no table seating available which was a little weird for our 1 year wedding anniversary dinner and in a tin

The food was absolutely delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked and incredibly juicy. My favorite was the salmon very flavorful and moist On weekends at night, they have a live DJ, which was a great time. Definitely a nice crowd and afterwards you get to walk the boardwalk there’s nothing better definitely recommend this place.

I’ve been coming here for a while now and I can honestly say this spot never disappoints. The food is always fresh, hot, and made with real care. The pizza is absolutely top tier great crust, perfect sauce, quality cheese, and every slice tastes like it was made the right way. You can tell they take pride in what they do. The service is what really makes this place stand out though. Sal is one of the best people you’ll meet always welcoming, respectful, and making sure everybody leaves happy. H

My family and I celebrated my son’s birthday at Scalinatella in NYC, and it was an amazing experience. The food was incredibly fresh, and the pasta was prepared right in front of us. One of the chefs even personally removed the bones from my fish tableside, which was a very special touch and showed their attention to detail and service. The dessert was absolutely heavenly, and the entire evening felt truly special. The atmosphere, service, and quality of the food made the celebration perfect. I

This charming little Italian restaurant is an absolute gem! The cozy two-floor space filled with pictures on the walls gives it so much warmth and character. The baked clams were delicious — perfectly seasoned and full of flavor — and the fettuccine Alfredo was creamy, rich, and incredibly satisfying. The food feels homemade and made with care. What truly sets this place apart is the owner, who is so sweet, caring, and welcoming that you feel like family the moment you walk in. It’s a wonderful

Loved this place! The owner was so friendly & welcoming. Their lunch special (pasta and salad) is great & it’s very authentic. We also got wine & espresso - which were both great. Would highly recommend.

This is easily one of the best gelato shops in the Brooklyn area. We stopped by on a lazy Sunday late morning, and the place had such a vibrant, cozy vibe. It’s a small shop with a few street-side tables where people were sitting and enjoying their treats, and right across the street, a farmers’ market was happening — which made the whole scene feel lively and charming. I ordered a cup of chocolate gelato, while my friend went for hazelnut and pistachio. Every flavor was rich, dense, creamy, an

Had a great experience at Pastia. The food was consistently solid across the board and the service really elevated the meal. We started with the bruschetta, which was fresh and well-balanced. The carbonara was rich and flavorful without being overly heavy, and the lobster dish was nicely prepared and enjoyable. Shoutout to Oscar, our waiter, he was friendly, attentive, and made sure dinner and service flowed smoothly. Overall, a very good dining experience. I’d rate it a 4.5/5 and would defin

Went here for Valentines Day 💝, the restaurant is set up nicely, waiters are friendly and check up on you regularly. The food is good, although I don't feel as though it's top notch, is it worthy of a double take, possibly, but it wouldn't be my first choice. I will say that if you going for the Penne alla vodka, that is a DEFINITE 10 ALL DAY LONG. The flavor is out of this world good. All in all it was good, I just cannot honestly say it was AS good as some other Italian places. I do recomm

wanted to give it 5/5! unfortunately while eating my pizza i found a small, hard piece of clear plastic that i had to spit out otherwise the food and drinks were lovely! but i never ate plastic before, it was not a pleasant surprise

We had a wonderful experience with the staff at Petrarca Cucina e Vino—the service was attentive, welcoming, and easily the highlight of the evening. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the same standard. The dishes we ordered were quite bland and lacked visual appeal, missing the vibrant color and flavor punch you'd expect from a solid Italian spot. Given that it is definitely on the expensive side, we expected a bit more execution in the kitchen. Come for the great hospitality and

Rosario’s is literally a hidden treasure. It’s hidden by the elevated MTA subway stairs. I heard great things about Rosario’s pizza in particular and of the owner. I ordered 1 square and 1 regular slice to go. They also have a deli counter if you’re feeling a sandwich. On the opposite wall you will find well stocked shelves of imported pasta, sauces, and other treats. I started with the regular slice. It held its form and after taking that first bite, wow! Damn good pizza. Crisp crust, the toma

Came here cus friend loves this place and said the pasta is amazing.. And he's right about the pasta! The rigatoni is perfect al dente and the sauce is delicious (I got it without sausage). Definitely want to return for more pasta!

I had a wonderful experience at Lena. The restaurant is very cozy and the food is excellent. I tried the lasagna and it was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend it. What I want to highlight the most is the service from our waitress, Inés. From the very beginning she was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. She knew the menu very well and was not only there to serve us, but also to guide us with great recommendations. I was there with my husband and my baby, and she made

This resturant has its pros & cons, PROS: they put out bread, breadsticks & a yummy garlic dipping oil 9/10, balsamic & ceaser side salads 9/10, wish mine had croutons, we got the hot antipasto as our app, 7/10 the calamari was tender & crispy but very bland, everything else was ok on it, for our entrees, ordered fresh fettuccini alfredo w/ mushrooms, it had a LOT of mushrooms but tasted good enough that parmesan was optional 9/10 & the chicken santina subbed it w/ breaded chicken cutlets was de

Excellent customer service, very accommodating, reasonably priced, plus most importantly- fresh homemade gluten free pasta!! Parking lot gets busy easily due to other store in the plaza so time your visit accordingly.

Delicious lunch. We got the grilled artichokes with prosciutto, the paccheri with short ribs, and the prosciutto/mushroom pasta. All were fantastic. The pasta is handmade. If we lived closer we would definitely come back, but this is almost 2 hours from us.

A big fan of Eat Italian—this place has quickly become one of our go-to neighborhood spots. The food is consistently delicious and the service is always great, which makes it an easy choice when we want a reliable, satisfying meal. The menu has a ton of options, so there’s always something new to try. The chicken parm is incredible—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The appetizer selection is just as strong. The meatballs and the Italian Street Food apps are absolute go-tos for us and never

We had a wonderful experience at this Italian restaurant! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for relaxing and enjoying great conversation. The steak and veal were absolutely outstanding—perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. And the tiramisu for dessert… simply magical! It left the most delightful aftertaste and was the perfect ending to our meal. Highly recommend this place for a cozy and delicious dining experienc

Only a couple blocks from my apartment, so super convenient. Not somewhere I’d go out of my way for. The space is lovely; warm, inviting interior with a small bar area, plus outdoor seating for nicer weather. Food: Went for lunch and ordered the margherita pizza, Caesar salad, and meatballs. Everything was decent but nothing memorable. The pizza had a nice thin crust and balanced tomato flavor, the Caesar was crisp and classic, and the meatballs were tender but lacked that rich, slow-simmered

Wow I have had Tommy’s pizza in over 20 years as I don’t live in the neighborhood anymore ! Today my office decided to order from them as my co worker Carlos lives nearby and orders from them all the time We order led a Pepperoni pie and a Margherita Pie A cold Anti pasta Salad and a mozzarella and tomato salad Th food came in great timing Pizza was hot - awesome - delicious The salads amazing Thank you for a great lunch !

If you’re in the Upper East Side and craving delicious Italian food, Delizia is a must-visit. The atmosphere is cozy, the staff is super friendly, and the food is exquisite. I absolutely love the Margherita pizza—crispy, fresh, and authentic. Plus, if you just want a slice on the go, it’s perfect. But if you’re planning a special dinner, they have a separate space in the back and a cozy indoor area. On top of that, the place features beautiful paintings representing Italy, adding a special touch

I’ll give this place four stars because it was pretty good for the price. Bill before tip was $47 for a $14 glass of Lambrusco (bartender gave me a decent pour), lasagna, and tiramisu. If you’re looking for authentic Italian, this is probably not the place. The place is run by a Chinese guy who speaks spanish to the rest of the staff. They gave me bread with a cold tomato sauce that was indistinguishable from salsa. That was interesting. I came in by myself and sat at the bar. The bartender wa

We really enjoyed everything! the service was on point, super quick and smooth, and the food quality was amazing. Andrea is honestly a great manager, you can tell everything is well-run. Definitely try their appetizers, I highly recommend them!

My go to spot! Great vibes, lovely staff they make you feel like at home! Highly recommend this amazing place 🙌🏻. Ernesto was a great server and the drinks were amazing from Maynor (please try the expresso martini)

Classy but predictable. Excellent food -corresponding to expectation- albeit sadly presented. Minimalistic with too many lines and inadequate fixtures. Cold, dry lighting. Lacking details (one large "cafeteria style" room with neither partitions nor greenery; no hand moisturizer in restrooms; no munchies accompanying drinks etc.), thus not curated for New York City. Definitely overpriced.

I’d been craving Italian for a while, so we tried Cremini’s in Brooklyn last weekend. For a neighborhood spot, it was quite nice, and the owner was very pleasant. I really liked that they focus on food and wine from the Marche region, which you don’t see that often and makes for some unique options compared to a typical Italian menu. The Gorgonzola-stuffed olives and the stuffed gnocchi were both really good. Overall, a nice spot if you’re looking for something a little different.
