First time here, and our meal was good. We had a spinach, beet and artichoke salad. It would have been nice to have more than 2 slices of artichokes and beets. We also had the chicken Madeira which was very good. The ambience is very nice, and our waiter was excellent!

We were 22 people with a fixed menu at $75 a person. The bill came to $140 a person. The appetizer was 2 clams, one small eggplant rollatini, and 1 shrimp the size of my pinky. Next was a very small rigatoni dish. Next was a salad that was so flat you couldn't get it on the fork. Main was choice between steak, chicken and salmon. 2 pieces of chicken that was about 1/4 inch thick, and very tuff. Whoever ordered the salmon had different size pieces. The steak looked ok. For desert was tiramisu the size of a lady finger cookie. I ordered a double expresso and there was no more than a teaspoon of coffee in the cup. As far as drinks go, some ordered a beer, others wine and a few sodas. The owner should be ashamed of themselves! Biggest rip off of all the restaurant I have ever dined at. Screw you Villa Erasmo!!!PS, forgot to mention most of the food was cold.

My group of 22 retired postal workers came here for the third year in a row , February 18 th - we really enjoyed it the 2 prior years and we’re looking forward to another great meal. Unfortunately we all were very disappointed. We opted for the $75 per person pre-fixed meal . I ordered the Salmon my fiancé had the steak . Both of us were very disappointed. The salmon was a little cold and the steak was under cooked, and then overcooked when we sent it back. The salad was a joke , a hand full of lettuce ( nothing else) the appetizer was 1 shrimp/2 small baked clams a mushroom and a piece of eggplant rollitini. It ended up costing me $280 for the 2 of us - I know we did have 3 drinks total and with tax and tip - it jumped from $150 to $2.80 - I left feeling ripped off and still a little hungry- maybe it’s new owner or manger.

This lovely place is a relatively hidden gem of a spectacular italian restaurant and catering hall. Located only a block from Juniper Park in Middle Village, Queens, and blocks from Maspeth Square on 69th Street and Long Island Expressway, this amazing establishment offers dining to your heart's content. The atmosphere is charming and elegant and quite reasonably priced for any dining preferences. Whether lunch or dinner, Erasmo has all you desire. Delicious specials as well is traditional Italian dishes. I have watched Erasmo transform into a larger, more event friendly venue, with capabilities to handle over 200 people inside the main room and another 50-75 people in their outdoor patio. Amazing. A true gem ? . They also are drawing more attention to their restaurant with fantastic live entertainment, dining and dancing on Friday nights. Now that you know, I recommend you visit and experience this gem ? yourself, and bring your own party there. It will be your new favorite.
It wasn’t very crowded the night I went but the service as well as the food was top notch. I definitely recommend and hope to go with the family next time.

Came here on a weeknight. Pretty chill. Great service and good food!
Nice looking place inside but better outside in the warmer weather I. wish I could say the same for the food they should just give up already it’s the owners of Rosa’s pizza. They should just stick to pizza and that isn’t so good anymore either. As an Italian restaurant the food is terrible.
A hidden gem in queens. Love that its so close. Food is banging. Service is on point and Friday nights they have live classic Sinatra

My family and I have been coming here since they opened. My son came home for the holidays and we were looking forward to a relaxing dinner to catch up on his life. When we arrived we were offered two tables. One which was off to the side of a child’s birthday party and the other which was currently occupied by the hostess and her friends right by the door you enter. Stupidly we opted for near the child’s party. WE SHOULD HAVE SAID THANK YOU, GOODBYE. We couldn’t even hear our conversation. To make matters worse, another party came in near us and to give THEM privacy the hostess decided to draw the screen. Unfortunately it could not be drawn because we were in the way. Why were the other people given consideration and not us? This is definitely our last visit to Erasmo and I will be spreading the word to our friends whom we’ve always recommended Erasmo to. I would have expected the hostess to have more common sense.

I tried their eggplant parm for the first time on Thanksgiving and they make this dish exactly the way I love it ? the eggplant is nice and thin, it's not soggy at all, the breading is perfectly seasoned, the tomato sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and slightly tangy, and the perfect amount of cheese melted on top. ✨️CHEFS KISS✨️so happy, wish I had discovered this gem sooner. I live an hour away and would 100% make the drive for this eggplant.
