If you’re looking for old school Italian, this is a great spot. They made it easy to schedule a work dinner for 9 people, and the service was quick and accurate. The Caesar salad was extremely tasty, as was my pasta dish, albeit a tad salty. The front bar area is also cozy and casual, so it’s a great place for an after work cocktail.

Parking: Close to a train station

I recently visited the the Libretti’s and sat in the bar area with a friend and we both came for the Shrimp Parmesan - it’s absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was also lively, especially with the karaoke night, which added to the fun experience!

I came for the first time last Friday night with a friend specifically for KARAOKE. Had a great time but, unintentionally, left my phone at the restaurant and didn'trealize that until I returned home. (I live in Staten Island). To make a long story short, I was so relieved to call the restaurant the following day to find that someone found it. With all the dishonesty and selfishness in this world today that we all have to deal with, I'm extremely grateful for the integrity...
