11 Best Italian Restaurants in Forest Hills

“This restaurant is incredible! Came here to celebrate my sister's birthday recently, and, in no way, were we disappointed. The ribeye steak is probably the best I've ever had, the pasta is made with love, the pizza is amazing, and the service and ambience is wonderful. Don't think twice about making the reservation! The owner and his chef (brother) have created something brilliant here 👏“

“Loved it here! Just stopped in at the spur of the moment and I am so glad I did! Felt like I was in a Manhattan Bar! Eva the bartender was great and so was the rest of the staff. Felt like I was with friends.“

“First time back in 13 years and the quality and service is as great as ever.“

“Amazing“

“Amazing food! Service wasn't that great even though it was empty but other than that it was fantastic. I highly recommend it if you want a quiet casual atmosphere with amazing food.“

“We celebrated Mother's Day at this restaurant in a private room. There were about 30 of us—friends and relatives. It was a karaoke party where everyone sang and had a great time. We loved the room's design, the service provided by the waitstaff, and the attentiveness of the restaurant owners.“

“My family has been ordering from this pizzeria for years and usually have it delivered. Until recently, our Dad has passed, we now dine in after our visit to the cemetery. My favorite dish is in the picture 🍝 The pasta is always cooked perfectly and the sauce is just the right amount of spicy. I never finish it all and it’s even better the next day.“

“Excellent Customer Service, Consistent Presentation of Food, Pizza is Always Fresh, The Beef Patties are delicious, and if you get a Beef Patty with cheese I Highly recommend the special Hot Sauce that they keep in the front Cooler….This place Might just Be the Best Pizzeria in All of Queens but that’s just Me…. Please come here if you want Quality food and Quality customer service to Match“

“Due Fratelli is quality NY pizza in Rego park/Forest hills area. We have been going here every Friday for years. The service is good the pizza is delicious, way better than Dante’s or Lillian’s. If you’re in the area you should check it out“

“Its front display window features the restaurant’s mascot: a white-feathered chicken with a wide, toothy smile and flashing a thumbs-up. He wears a thick gold necklace with a locket bearing the name “Pappi Polo,” along with gold-rimmed glasses that make him look like a rapper from another era.

He is the master of ceremonies, standing at the front door to greet and entice you to their justly famous pizza, which my mother always loved. Now that I, the prodigal son, am back in the neighborhood to visit my family, I feel obliged to stop in and shake hands with this cheerful chick.“

“I like this place, they treat their customers like real people. And despite the fact they sell alcohol which is usually a negative for me. I've never seen people allowed to be in there getting drunk and stupid. And I really don't deal well with stupid drunks. It's nice to know if I'm on a night out with my girl. That if people get stupid I don't gotta be the one to throw them out on their head. And I dunno forgive the stereotype but I get the impression if somebody gave them a problem they could have 10 guys there in about 2 minutes lol. Great place all around food is good not overly expensive either. Also I apologize for not always being able to tip 20 percent I would if I could but sometimes can't. I can leave a good review at least. Have a good night guys.“
