This is a hidden gem, a really nice old-school Italian place, nice, warm, friendly staff serving up delicious food. It was our first visit, but they made us feel like we've been there a hundred times. You know that kind of service where they make you feel at home. Whatever you decide to try, I'm sure you'd love it. We're heading back for some Pizza this weekend.

Food was horrible. Ordered medium rare and got a well done steak. Told them and it came back blue rare. Asked them to cook another 2 mins please and then it was finally correct Regardless- my poopy butt caught a tummy virus Please dont go.

The breakfast buffet was terrible. The food was probably purchased from the local stop and shop. I feel sorry for the staff as they have to do their best with an owner that is cutting every corner imaginable.

As others have mentioned, the menu is limited. There are very few options for vegetarians, but they do have vegan cheese for pizza. We had a margarita pizza, and the crust was charred on half of the pizza to a point where you could not eat it.The service was great, and the ambiance was welcoming g.

Breakfast was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and service awesome. It was close to our hotel (Indigo) 4 min walk.

I was excited when I saw their menu as they were the only Italian restaurant in the area. They had a revised menu that was a fraction of the online menu. I ordered the chicken parmesan with spaghetti. The chicken had no flavor, and the spaghetti tasted a bit undercooked. This is a one and done restaurant. It appears they were magnificent back in the day, but have taken a severe step backward.

Heel gezellig Italiaans restaurant. Het eten was heel lekker, echter is de kaart sinds kort zeer beperkt. Bediening is heel vriendelijk, ik kreeg zelfs een taartje voor mijn verjaardag! Zeker een aanrader.

There is nothing Italian in this restaurant except the music they played . Food very simple and tasteless . Very few choices and not really true Italian . I had a ravioli in chicken broth . Tasted like from a supermarket package. Very disappointed!!!Don’t waste your time to go there

It was fine and they got us in and out quickly. But, menu is much reduced from what it shows on Yelp, with only 4 or 5 basic entree options. And, definitely over-priced
Fantastic first meal for my family in Queens. The staff is kind and has great energy, and the food was all delicious. We had a couple BLTs and the chocolate strawberry pancakes. Everyone left full and happy. Thank you!

This place had such an amazing vibe for dine in. They had breakfast buffet for $21. We did the menu and the oatmeal and french toast were too good. The staff was very friendly!

One of the best italian restaurants in NYC both in and out of Flushing. Real italian gentlemen making you wonderful espresso and cappuccinos. The table olive oil is great

The greatest breakfast in town, hands down! As you see in the pictures, the eggs are not play-doh, and the food overall is absolutely fresh and delicious, from the hot dishes to the fruit salad! My go-to is a mountain of pasta layered with a mountain of eggs followed by a pile of potatoes and fruits on the side. I kept it moderate with the trays displayed in the pictures attached to this review. I’m addicted not only to the menu but the ambiance and people! Barbara, Mirko & the staff always service the guests warmly and exceptionally, and they always provide nothing short of an exquisite experience at The Magna!

Great breakfast. When they were open for dinner, great lasagna. Like everywhere else, they can’t get workers so closed after breakfast.
