“Great Italian food and a decent menu, not much choice but not too much. It's located next to Post Office 34 and is very trendy. The view and service are great, but it's noisy as there isn't much to absorb the sound. We ordered focaccia, roasted peppers and pasta. Everything is great and super fresh.“

“Excellent quality, service and ambiance!“

“By far our favorite restaurant we visit in the city. Have been here over 500x and the tagliatelle with sheep’s cheese cabbage and shrimp will never get old ! Carmine runs a beautiful establishment on the UWS“

“The food here is amazing, and the staff are great. I can’t recommend it enough. Unfortunately, the Facebook rating system for restaurants is focused mostly on the wrong things, likely due to poor algorithm design. Curbside pickups? Daily specials? Takeaway menu? Grow up, Facebook.“

“Delicious food good service“

“Went for our anniversary!! Had an amazing meal!! Wonderful service and great atmosphere!! Highly recommend!!“

“It’s great place with very delicious pasta and artesanal pizza! 🍝🍕“

“everyone from the hostess to the weight staff to the bus boys. They were all incredibly polite, courteous, and professional. The food was fantastic worth the money. Where we sat, which is outside of the main dining area in a booth with only two tables with four place settings, each was the perfect spot for intimate conversation. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience“

“Chazz Palminteri is our go to whenever we are in the city. Why you ask??? First and foremost is the people! Besnik and Nikolla treat us like family. We have been going here for over 10 years. The service is the absolute best. Secondly the food is always amazing. Last night I had the pre fix dinner with mussels, Salmon and sorbet. Delicious, as always!! I highly recommend you try Chazz for dinner. You will be so happy you did!!“

“Our meal was delicious! The staff was very friendly. Our sweet server even brought us a complimentary Tiramisu. ❤️“

“The service and the food were absolutely amazing. I ordered the ricotta toast and the melon salad. Both were exquisite full of flavor. Then we ordered two pasta dishes that were magnificent. We were fortunate enough to be seated in front of the chefs. The head Chef was so kind and making jokes all night which made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. Thank you! We will certainly be back.“

“After having dinner at Fasano yesterday, I found myself wondering why it didn’t feel like a “wow” experience. I think it’s because the very upscale, almost uptight atmosphere didn’t quite match the quality of the food which was good, but not exceptional. The heavy curtains didn’t help the ambiance, and at one point I noticed the music was off, which made things feel even more dreary“

“We happened to be walking by on a Friday night and my husband pointed it out. Our pasta was fresh and delicious and served so quickly. The staff was beyond attentive and professional. The bathrooms were gorgeous and clean. It delivered on all aspects. We had Zeppole with lemon curd for dessert and it was unreal!“

“Chef Waxman and his exceptional team gave my wife a birthday experience she will never forget. Not only did you provide exceptional service and amazing food but went above and beyond in every conceivable way to make her birthday the best one she has ever had. Best experience, food and service we have ever had. Thank you so very much.“

“Wonderful Italian restaurant near the water in Long Island City. Definitely recommend setting a reservation as this place does fill up. The restaurant staff show great professionalism They were warm, attentive, and welcoming, providing prompt service. The cocktails were strong but both tasty and refreshing. From the pizza to the tartare to the pasta, everything was freshly prepared and full of flavor. It’s literally nothing like authentic, freshly prepared pasta and they nailed it. Definitely high on my list of top Italian spots I have experienced.“

“We had a great experience learning how to make pasta! The food was so delicious. This would be something fun to do with a group or family members. Our waiter Mica was fantastic as well as the chef who taught us Anthony. Thanks guys for a fun night in NYC!“

“I just noticed that this place offers breakfast, and was able to try it yesterday. I was impressed! Really enjoyed the omelette, and the decor and atmosphere was pleasant. Definitely has a European vibe to it. Free refills on the coffee would have made it perfect, but otherwise a 5 out of 5 experience!“

“A much-anticipated and much-enjoyed lunch at Santi. Every staff member was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and all with proper discretion. I felt really well taken care of during my entire visit.

The tonno was presented beautifully, and is a perfectly composed dish. The textures and flavors align to a really satisfying bite.

And the busiante was divine - unctuous and rich without being too heavy. My only regret was that it was too early in the day to enjoy with a glass of barolo. A reason to return!

The seasonal focaccia was also an excellent touch. Can’t wait to come back!“

“a great experience . high quality food“

“Good food good service recommend you get a good pizza margarita“

Prosciutto di Parma, fritto misto, fluke crudo and escarole salad; for mains, all the pastas were great as were the heritage chicken, the swordfish and the porchetta. Great experience, will def return.“

“The food was amazing! We were seated immediately. Drinks, appetizers, and our meals came out in great time, but we never felt rushed. The staff was very attentive and our server was always there when we needed her. We were in New York for the first time for only one day and we wanted a New York Italian dinner. We picked the right place!“

“If you go in New York absolutely you have to go to taste the food in La voglia restaurant. I recommend to everyone.“

“Very, very nice restaurant. I had one of the best Negronis I ever tasted, then perfectly cooked risotto (wild mushroom and truffle) with a glass of house Pinot Grigio, which was actually really good. The restaurant is both elegant and hospitable, and service from every single person- from busboys to my excellent waiter - was outstanding and truly friendly. I am very happy to have discovered this place and will be back.“

“First time dining and had a magnificent experience. the bread and cheese starter was fantastic. chicken parm, spaghetti pomodoro, and paccheri alla bolognese were all 10s (which is not easy to achieve). the bolognese was the sleeper hit. More than anything, the service was the most important highlight. Gray was our server and made sure we had a fantastic night. Her attention to detail and great timing made us feel so welcome and attended to. Highly highly recommend this place, they’re doing everything right. environment is also so beautiful to boot.“

“First I would just like to say that the view from this restaurant is absolutely amazing. The rooftop terrace is beyond words. The food is very elegant. The staff went above and beyond what I expected. The food is mouth watering. I can't wait to go back for more. And if any of the staff every moves to Michigan you should look me up for a job. You were beyond perfection.“
