“(Edited my og review because it was poorly written and rushed.)So there I was, on a spontaneous adventure, when suddenly, BAM! Google throws me a curveball - "Nutella Empanada." You bet I was intrigued. It was like the universe daring me, "Bet, let's go."Stumble into this place, and it's like I've walked into the heart of the local scene. This guy, just oozing neighborhood vibes, hits me with, "You're not from around here, huh? Welcome to the best Italian spot in town." And he didn't stop there - gave me the lowdown on all the hidden gems nearby. This dude was living and breathing local charm, and I was here for it. The lobby? Packed with the coolest cats you could meet.Turns out, snagging a table at this joint is usually like finding a unicorn - pretty darn rare. But guess what? They worked some magic and got us in... into an outdoor igloo, no less! Yeah, you read that right. An igloo! (Peep the pics for proof - it's as rad as it sounds.)Now, let's talk food. Holy smokes, it's delish. The staff? Angels in disguise, I swear. Super friendly, on-point, and ready to make your experience top-notch.Oh, and if you see anything with Vodka sauce on the menu, just do yourself a favor and order it. It's a solid 10/10. Trust.All in all, this spot isn't just a restaurant; it's a local legend. Do yourself a favor and drop by. You won't regret it.“
“I took a chance because it had a high rating and good reviews. I was not disappointed. Chicken alla vodka pizza was great. Chicken chunks are really big. I placed my order in the morning, and it was ready for pick-up. Great, friendly service. I will definitely return.“
“I just found out about this restaurant a week ago and I've already been back again. The food is slamming and so are the drinks! I had the Caesar salad with chicken in it any the flavor was freaking AMAZING. It felt like I was eating a MEAL and it was just a salad. Omg! My price range was between 50 and 100 dollars bc I had 3 drinks (non- happy hour) with that salad. I loved everything.“
“Hi I don't usually don't do reviews but I had a surprise birthday party for my wife on 3/23 of a party of 20 people and from the beginning dealing with and planning with EVA she went up and above my expectations walking me threw everything from beginning to end I can't say enough of her and Barbara and just wanted to thank Barbara our server handled all of us with no issues at all and all of the staff who helped with everything from Eva, Barbara and would give both of them 10 stars and more and food was absolutely exquisite“
“Eddie is a great guy I went there thinking it was a Brick oven pizzeria he told me no I said forget it he said have a try and gave me a piece of pizza . It was great tasting and crispy crust thin just the way I like it he’s the best . I’ll be going there for now on . Great guy great pizza thank you “
“Good pizza, but unfortunately not outstanding or phenomenal for a couple of reasons. I ordered the prosciutto pizza and the sausage pizza here, the wait here was extremely long for me, but to their credit they were extremely busy and working on what appeared to be an incredibly tiny pizza oven, no big deal since I was in no hurry that day. Pizza came and I was excited since I've only tried a prosciutto pizza in Europe. The prosciutto pizza here was eye opening, the combination of their cured meat, parma cheese, arugula and olive oil drizzle was absolutely divine, all the flavors worked in complete harmony and magic that is indescribable. The other pizza though was not as memorable and fell slightly on the more average side. Where both pizzas could have used a little work? That crispiness of the bread just wasn't there, the pizza fell flat due to the sogginess of the bread used to create it. Overall a good pizza spot with a truly great and unique item, definitely would come back to try more of their menu“
“Pizza was good for Long Island. It's really hard to find good pizza in Long Island. Dario's pizza can be compared to L'Industrie in Williamsburg Brooklyn. I went with one slice of pepperoni and a regular slice. They were both good! So if you're ever out on the island, try Dario's.“
“The service at this pizza and bagel store was truly exceptional. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile by the staff. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about their offerings. They took the time to explain the different options and made recommendations based on my preferences. The orders were fulfilled quickly, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was to my liking. When I asked for a special request, they accommodated me with a smile. The team worked seamlessly together, creating a welcoming and efficient experience. Their dedication to customer satisfaction was evident in every interaction. I left feeling valued and impressed, which is a testament to their exceptional service. Kudos to the team for setting a new standard for service excellence!“
“I had an amazing experience at the pizzeria! The pizzas were delicious, with a perfect balance of flavors. What truly stood out was the exceptional customer service - friendly staff, prompt service, and a welcoming atmosphere. A must-visit.“
“My family and I went there to celebrate my husband’s and my birthday. We were treated like royalty, the service, food and lovely atmosphere couldn’t be better! This restaurant truly lives up to its name! We look forward our next visit!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“Delightful Italian experience! We started with sautéd calamari and the Ceaser perfect for the both of us. The penne a la vodka was aldente and creamy, and the halibut was perfectly cooked amazing with the potato and escarole combo. Exceptional flavors, friendly service a must try! True hidden “
“This is a great place to go out to eat with a group of friends. The portions are large and nicely priced. Drinks were plentiful and there was also a large array of beers and seltzers available for self service. Everything we ordered was tasty and fresh. Would come back again.“
“My recent trip to Long Island was my first time back anywhere near NYC in a few decades. I only had time to get pizza at one place so I picked this place because of the reviews. Got a large sausage (regular NY style), it was very tasty but just a tad too thick for me to be NY style. Great pizza nonetheless but I've had better NY style in the midwest so I can't give it 5 stars. A little thinner and it's probably a 5 star pizza. The flavor is there.“
“This is the best pizzeria that I have been to all my life, good guys, they taught me what their name is, how to pronounce Kerry, they taught this word and it’s interesting, good dishes, the atmosphere is very good, very good, I recommend it to “
“Louie and Ernie's Pizza is like visiting your favorite uncle's house, who makes one of your favorite meals! Once you get there, you eat and chat, and you get so cozy that you don't realize you stayed so long? Plain and crispy, I love it! Thanks for keeping that "uncle" feeling!Vegetarian options: Plain pizza is vegetarian, that's an amazing selection!!“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Villa Milano, and let me tell you, it was an experience to remember! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that instantly made me feel like family. The crew at Villa Milano is truly exceptional - attentive, friendly, and always ready with a smile.Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the pizza. Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? The pizza at Villa Milano is nothing short of spectacular. Each bite is a symphony of flavors, with a perfect balance of sauce, cheese, and toppings atop a delectably crispy crust. Whether you're a fan of classic combinations or craving something a bit more adventurous, Villa Milano has something for everyone. Trust me when I say, you won't be able to resist going back for seconds (and thirds)!But what truly sets Villa Milano apart is the atmosphere. It's not just a restaurant; it's a place where memories are made and friendships are forged over mouthwatering slices of pizza. Whether you're dining in with friends or grabbing a takeaway, you'll always leave Villa Milano with a smile on your face and a satisfied stomach.In summary, if you're in the mood for delicious pizza served with a side of warmth and hospitality, look no further than Villa Milano. It's a true gem in the world of pizza restaurants, and I can't wait to go back for another slice of perfection.“
“North shores local staple. It's my go to, hands down. You'd be foolish to go anywhere else. Weather your in pt.wash., Rosslyn or Glenn head. 100% fresh every time. A true family establishment. Never disappointed.Parking: There's always a spotWheelchair accessibility: 4 wheels or two legs, your always welcome.“
“My favorite local pizzeria. If you grew up in Queens then this place will definitely give you nostalgia with the decor and counter seating. The inside will seldomly get a little crowded with students or a kids baseball team but the service is still quick and I’ve never had trouble finding a seat. The food is amazing. Pizza, chicken parm, or the sausage/peppers are my usual orders. Been going here almost 15 years“
“I've been coming here wooo for a good amount of years, I am from Queens and when I want authentic Italian food I come here why multiple reasons one of them it's their food. I am always trying something new and they never seem to disappoint me! It's crazy I live in Queens and come this far to have a slice, lasagna or anything different today I went in and had a Philly cheese steak, it was delicious but not like the Philly cheese steak sandwiches from Philly lol. But over all I'll have it again it was delicious hands down.If you're in town, check them out right off the the LIR North Station Plaza in Great Neck. It's better than Gino's thats for sure!!!Kid-friendliness: It's very family oriented“
“It was a 40 minute drive from where I live but it was SO worth it! Upon walking in we were greeted by a lovely hostess who brought us to our table immediately. The atmosphere and decor was trendy, chic and the place was packed. The cocktails were creative and fun. I loved my Pear of Thieves cocktail and my friend who is not adventurous, took a leap of faith and ordered the Grape Scotch which he loved. The bone marrow app was to die for and we were impressed with the scallops and pork belly entrees. Tanya picked the perfect wine for us and I enjoyed it so much that I'm trying to find where I can buy it for myself. It's the next day and I'm still thinking about my food and the experience. Since there is nothing like Foster in my area, I will definitely be making the journey back! Go there!“
“Great family feeling. Delicious food...owner???.Had my birthday dinner tonight....can't wait to go back!!!!Kid-friendliness: My 7 year old granddaughter Abigail loves it there. She can practice the two words she knows in Italian... Ciao Bella and loves the food“
“Went to Mangia Bene in Valentine's Day for an early dinner & loved the ambience & service that we experienced. Nicoletta our waitress was soft spoken, knowledgeable & patient with our ordering. We ordered the chicken parmigiana, casarroce di bosco, meatballs, eggplant rollatinis, roasted chicken wings & for desert torta burro. We enjoyed everything including the bar & wine selections. I had a gulietta & Lambrusco.Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free homemade pasta“
“We love this place, it's the only pizzaria in rvc we'll eat at/from! Even though I believe the owner, John is it? Is a Rangers fan he doesn't hold my being a die hard Islanders fan against me! ? Staff is friendly making for a more comfortable atmosphere! My food suggestion/s would be, try it all! Thank you for the service, sys! And remember, the change...has ? hahahaha ?“

“The food at this restaurant is authentically Jamaican. I had a boat ride last year in Freeport, Long Island. The owner/chef not only delivered the food to my boatride but also helped to set up. This is by far some of the best customer service I've ever experienced. My guests raved about the food all night.This review is long overdue and I just realized that I hadn't written one. Better late than never I suppose! ?“
“I had the regular slice, Grandma and Upside Pizza. WOW to all 3. The best one by far was the upside down pizza. The tomato sauce was so fresh. The cheese was amazing. The best part was the crust, it was so soft inside and crispy outside. Phenomenal! Dan L. recommended this spot. Now, I recommend it to all of you. Best pizza in Queens! This is my pizza spot forever!“
“This long time favorite continues on with great service and delicious food. Parking during the day is hit and miss but that aside for those of us who love a local red table cloth Italian with Italians at the helm DiMaggio's is it. One tip try the Lasagna and you will be hooked for life. Large menu and it is all delicious.“
“First, let me start by saying I don't believe in bad reviews, they can hurt a person's business and I think people should judge for themselves. Having said that, I do, however, believe in good reviews so here goes. I feel like this restaurant is one of the best pizzeria/Italian restaurants that I've ever been to. Aside from the courteous staff and the excellent service, the food is amazing. You can't go wrong with anything that you order. We've been here quite a few times and never had a bad experience. We ordered different things every time and the food seems to be getting better and better. Just an excellent experience overall. Besides all that, the place is very inviting and very clean. Shout out to the staff and owner for making us feel like it was worth it to come all the way from Queens on a Friday night during lent. One of our favorite places by far. I wish I could give it more than just five stars.“
“Simply fantastic. Fresh crisp salads, with the perfect amount of dressing. Hot mouth-watering, cheese pie that was just out of the oven. And thoughtfully wrapped decadent chicken parm sandwich to go (and made everyone on the plane jealous when eaten a few hours later). Location super easy to get to from Cross Island Pkwy. Kudos & keep slayin’!!“
“Although the place was busy for a Friday, we were seated immediately at the bar. Food choices is mostly italian and a brick over pizza. Bar service is good Adrian the bartender makes the best Martinis.. Tried the wild berry cosmo and I'm addicted. Also tried the coconut Martini which was also quite good. Pours are generous. For appetizers the Octopus was quite good. Served with Hummus and Crisps.. You will eat everything in the plate.. Perfect compliments. For my entree.. Had the RVC pizza.. White sauce pizza with toppings which included Prosciutto, arugula and parmigiana cheese. Fantastic... Will make this a part of my regular rotation“
“Roman style pizza sounded interesting, so we stopped in and tried some. Very glad we did because it was amazing.We ended up with 4 slices. 2 Roman style, 2 traditional. The Roman style were sausage with broccoli rabe and spinach with artichoke. The traditional were a burrata and vodka pepperoni basil and pesto slice. I can't tell you which was the best because they were all amazing. It was nice to get some slices with fresh greens on them that actually tasted good.I wish I had taken a picture of all the pizza because the variety of slices they had was crazy. Maybe next time I'll get the truffel slice.Parking: Parking in the area.“
“Hidden gem. Not just a pizza joint. They have lots of hidden options like the Korean Chili Chicken or Chicken Teriyaki. I’ve also purchased delicious naan from here as well. All at reasonable prices and very delicious. I wouldn’t necessarily dine in due to the atmosphere but I always visit because of the quality of food. ??“
“The pizza is the best on the island, I can attest to this amazing pizza, which I ate an entree and 3 additional slices. Their entrees are generous and delicious! The place is quaint, homey and the service is solid. The pizza and the white clams cause pasta is worth it! This place is a gem…. Absolutely the best pizza in LI .Kid-friendliness: Kids meals at a great price“
“Food truck with a great pizza and outdoor seating. Pizza is really really good, reminds me of the trendy sourdough places in the city. Only thing to potentially criticize is the bottom is a bit on the burnt side, but I'd say that's part of this style of Pizza.“
“We have lived around the corner since Sapori's opened and never went in before. Yesterday the rain forced us to venture in and we were so pleasantly surprised, and felt silly for never eating here before. The service is great and the food is delicious and fresh. Some other local spots have drastically gone down hill with their food quality, so it's nice to go somewhere and get an amazing meal that's worth your money. We will definitely be regulars from now on! Looking forward to next time!“
“Probably the best NY style pizza I’ve had in Long Island. I’m from out of town but this spot has opened my eyes to what’s good in the area.Vegetarian options: There are many vegetarian options for almost all kinds of Italian dishes.Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free options and are accommodating to peoples dietary restrictionsParking: Lots of paid street parking, free parking across the street and also free manuciple parking near by.Kid-friendliness: It is very kid friendly and even has a party room that can host birthday parties or any kind of party at that.Wheelchair accessibility: There is rampant access at the end of the street at the street lights.“
“First time buying from this pizzeria and it was great. The staff member in the front was super friendly and kind. She was very accommodating. The garlic knots were so good and the mozzarella sticks were hot and fresh. Glad there is a pizzeria in the area!“
“We recently moved to Lynbrook and Gallery Four is one of our favorite restaurants for take-out. We order frequently. Our meal comes with salad and bread. Their food is delicious, fresh, and affordable. We have ordered chicken francese, lasagna, chicken parm, penne alla vodka, and garlic knots. Will continue ordering from them and trying new meals. ?“
“Solid pizza and ingredients. We ordered a Grandma pie and a few slices of white and eggplant+ricotta. The marinara and cheese on the grandma were good. The grandma is also 12 slices which is a nice bump in size compared to other shops which make 9 slices pies. My only knock on their pizza is the crust. It tastes like a low protein/gluten content flour, almost like all purpose or maybe a little cake flour mixed in. So it's not as chewy as I think pizza crust should be. That said, it's still got a solid crispy layer.“
“I honestly haven't tasted anything better than here. During covid time, I ordered from almost every pizzeria possible but found myself going back tot his place. If you wanna try a real NYC pizza, this is it. Food, nothing to say, it's just great. I tried pizza (all combos, plain, scilian, hawaiian, house special), stromboli, sausage, zittis, etc. Perfection. Food + great folks there make this place a 5 star place. I rarely ever leave a review, and leaving a review cuz it's been great last 15 years.“
“Clean location, great pizza options, friendly staff. I thoroughly enjoyed the following slices! Brown Stew oxtail Turkey bacon Chicken black truffle Alfredo Curry oxtail Curry chicken Sweet chili oxtail Jerk chicken You can definetly tell that the toppings are seasoned to perfection!“
“Wow, the food was simply amazing! The flavors were so well-balanced, and we couldn't help but order a pitcher of white sangria with juicy strawberries. We tried several entrees, but the pizza was simply out of this world, and the salad was so good, that the chef must have kissed it! The ambiance was super cool, and we even sang Happy Birthday (maybe a little too much, haha!). Overall, the service was great, and we had an absolute blast! I ordered Salmon Gino if you are into it??“
“Delicious! Love the checked tablecloths, and old school decor. Greek salad is amazing, and the thin crust is spot on! Their baked pasta dishes are like grandmas! They come out piping hot with perfectly melty cheese! You won't be disappointed. The only thing I will say is don't get chicken on your pizza, it tends to be dry...happens. It's delish on the salad though.“
“Best Pizza in town!! Whenever I travel from out state and desiring a pizza, this is true come and the over customer service is superb! Thank you for all you wonderful dedication to serve the public.Parking: Parking is available at the rear of the building“
“Absolutely delicious. The food is fantastic. I had calamari...perfect, Shrimp Francaise...perfect, literally. I had a slice of Margherita pizza at the first bite, I closed my eyes and threw my head back. The staff was friendly and the place was clean.GO NOW?!!!“
“Been coming here since I was a kid. Even though I no longer live in the area, whenever I visit family, there's no better place to get a Sicilian slice in all of NYC (not just Queens). And the regular thin crust cheese slices are great too!“
“This place is one of kind. My dad, who passed away, 3 years ago studied for his actuarial exams here in the 80s. My family and myself frequently come here for pizza and Israeli food. This place brings back so many fun memories of my childhood. My son loves the pizza here. The falafel tastes great, coating is nice light and flaky, like many other falafel, I’ve eaten. Prices remained reasonable throughout all of these years. Planning on coming here as long as this place is opened.“
“We booked the room in the back for a bday party. The room fits a party of 20 comfortably. Our server was friendly and worked diligently to meet our requests. We ordered quite a few things from the menu and they came out quickly. All the food was delicious and their portions were good. This was our second time coming here as a group and they did not disappoint me.“
“Recently ordered a panini, chocolate brownie, and blueberry cheesecake on Uber Eats. The food was undeniably delicious—I have to commend them on crafting the best panini I've tasted in a while!However, there was a slight hiccup in the order—they delivered 2 brownies instead of one, and unfortunately, the blueberry cheesecake was missing. Considering the cheesecake's higher value compared to the brownie, it was a bit disappointing.Despite this minor disorder, I must say the food quality itself was top-notch. The flavors were fantastic. Taking everything into account, I'm rating my experience at 4 stars. The service slip-up aside, the overall culinary experience was truly enjoyable.Looking forward to another order for that outstanding panini, and maybe a chance to savor the elusive Vegan blueberry cheesecake next time!“
“I love this place usually take out & more delivery than anything else but during the summer I do dine in after the park w my kid & sometimes hubby either way the place never disappoints!Kid-friendliness: Staff is great & never new“
“The BEST Italian food! Starting from their seafood, chicken, veal and pizza. Everything is awesome. The atmosphere, customer service to even the type of clientele that they attract. Everything is amazing at this restaurant. Thank you Kevin and Iavorone family!“
