“Best Bolognese sauce and fresh homemade pasta“

“The carbonara was delicious, fresh, and had a spectacular sauce. The portion was generous, and I was so hungry that I didn’t even think about taking a picture when it arrived.
I would definitely go back, but only for takeout. The service was poor and the place was freezing, so we had to eat with our jackets on. 😪“

“El personal es muy amable, atentos y deliciosa comida.“

“My daughter has been a fan of the alphabet pasta here since she started eating solid foods! I am a fan of the pumpkin ravioli and always check the case to see what’s new for the season. #itsallgood“

“Delicious genuine Tuscan menu specializing in pasta.“

“Been a realtor in Brooklyn most my life and you know what they say location location location well this time it’s Pasta pasta pasta I’m mean it’s just pasta however if you like pasta and you don’t make it yourself this is the only place when in Brooklyn you need to go. If you care about fresh pasta—whether you’re a chef, a serious home cook, or simply someone who values true quality—this is a must-visit destination. A genuine temple of fresh pasta, and a place Brooklyn can proudly call its own. Beyond the pasta, the shop has a high-end Italian market vibe with a great selection of sauces, imported pantry staples, fresh mozzarella, and more — all at fair prices for New York City. It somehow strikes the perfect balance between old-school Italian neighborhood charm and quality you’d expect from a top artisanal producer. And just when I thought it couldn’t get better, they let me taste their soon-to-be-offered sourdough pizza. Without question, that pizza alone is going to put this place on another level. Once it officially launches, expect lines as far as the eye can see — just for the pizza. If you want to buy a house come see me if it’s pasta and pizza you’re after go see Savinos! Hey but don’t take my word for it what do I know’, go and see for yourself. Tell em Battaglia sent you’ you could thank me later! Love B…“

“I have been coming here for over 15 years the best ravoli and fresh culcuts and Italian cheeses and the best rice balls stuffed mushrooms!

My good friend comes from Long Island to shop for her husband and kids when she visits me in Brooklyn! The best love ya Pastosa Ravioli 🫶🫶🫶🫶🩷“

“Went with my husband for dinner, the food was delicious and fresh. My favorite thing was definitely the ricotta cake! Also Simon was amazing, professional and very knowledgeable about the menu, and amaros and grappas. He helped me pick out one I would like, since I wasn’t familiar with any of the ones they had on the menu. Overall a lovely experience. Will definitely be back!“

“everything. food is delicious!“

“La Trafila is an absolute gem for anyone who loves real Italian pasta. From the moment you step inside, you can feel the passion and precision behind every strand of pasta they produce. This isn’t just a pasta shop — it’s a celebration of Italian tradition, texture, and taste.

What sets La Trafila apart is their dedication to freshness and authenticity. Every shape, from the delicate tagliolini to the perfectly ridged rigatoni, is crafted with care using traditional bronze dies (trafile in Italian — now you get the name!). The result? Pasta that holds sauce beautifully and cooks to perfection every time.

Whether you’re a home cook, a chef, or just a pasta lover, this place is heaven. Their seasonal specials are creative and delicious — think truffle-infused tagliatelle or pumpkin gnocchi in the fall. And the team? Incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and proud of their work, as they should be.

La Trafila is a rare find in New York: a place where quality, tradition, and innovation meet. Once you try their pasta, there’s no going back.

Bravi!“

“cameriera italiana con capelli corti. scortese e molto maleducata. non tornerò piu. non ha saputo ne servire il cliente oltre al fatto che dovrebbe farsi un corso di corretto italiano prima di parlare con un cliente in quel modo. pessima pubblicità al locale. peccato e mi dispiace ma non tornerò più.“

“Girls' dinner! This spot was definitely a hit, from the ambiance to the service and, of course, the delicious food. We started off with a glass of rosé and a spicy margarita, followed by the shrimp scampi and beef empanadas our waiter recommended, both were incredible and a must. For our main dish, we decided to share the roasted chicken with squash, and let me just say, it was one of the best dishes I've ever had. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and absolutely mouthwatering with every bite. To finish things off, we had warm chocolate chip cookies served with soft serve, the perfect ending to an amazing meal. Truly one of my favorite dinners in New York, I'll definitely be coming back soon!“

“Great night celebrating my daughter’s birthday. The girls had a table and my husband and I sat at the bar. The staff was so accommodating and very attentive. The food was delicious. It was the perfect place for dinner!“

“We wound up at Maestro for a birthday celebration. The service was excellent. The food was very good. Good wine selection. Delicious hot bread (from the menu). The pastas were al dente perfection. The swing seats were super comfortable, and a fun decor touch. This restaurant is rustically casual, more brightly lit than most (I might have preferred it a touch darker at dinner time, tbh), and the noise level was low (although it was only about half full when we were there, so I can't say what it's like when full). When no one at our table asked for dessert, they brought us a tiramisu with a candle in it, and didn't charge us, which was a super-lovely gesture. I'd definitely recommend Maestro for a fun date, a group of four for dinner, or any casual meal where you want great service and authentic Italian pastas and wine, in a casual environment.“

“Best ravioli by far!! Try the stuffed olives with cheese they are a must“

“Very good Italian fare that’s reasonably priced considering the quality. Can get very crowded.

Service was more efficient than overly friendly. I’d rate the food 4.5/5 although we didn’t find the tiramisu especially memorable. Less desirable tables near the kitchen and WC (reserved for smaller parties) lacked the ambiance of the main room.

All in all, glad I went but will try other places over returning“

“Brilliant place - food is awesome and the service is impeccable. Just got placed in my list of must visit places on the LES“

“Ordered two pizzas. Pizza crusts were spot on and tasty...overall some good pizzas. The sauce though.
A previous review mentioned the sauce was sweet but that they probably don't add sugar to their tomato sauce. I would disagree with that assumption. Half way through the pizza ... The sweetness kinda took over for me. And that's just a personal preference maybe?

Service was cold and not the friendliest.
The set up itself was decent enough and clean... They had some latin music playing which was ok.

I'm not sure I'd come back if I was in New York next. If you enjoy sweet pizza sauce you'll love this place because the crust was really good :) Just the sweetness of the sauce was not to my taste.“

“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!“

“Came from Texas to eat here, we’re thrilled with the amazing food!“

“DELICIOUS PIZZA & super friendly staff . As soon as we walked by and smelled the NY Pizza shop aroma we knew we had to stop and so glad we did. Starting the business trip off right! To the pizza makers working 11/15 around 10:30p deserve praise for the customer service! Thanks Papi! I got the grandma vodka slice 10/10“

“Best fresh pasta in the city“

“This is not a restaurant. They make the best fresh made pasta. They have a retail store in little Italy, and this is where they make the pasta.
They will sell to walk in customers, but it's better to order ahead to pickup. They also sell some cheese and sauces, and a few imported items from Italy.
I used to get my pasta from Cassinelli in Astoria, and was very sad when they closed.
Now I get fresh fettuccine all the time. Last time I got a pound each of the egg, tomato and spinach lasagna sheets, and made a few tricolor lasagnas. Just fabulous!“

“Few places are as accommodating as the staff here. The menu, although on available digitally, is extensive. Large selection of GF (gluten free) items. You can start with apps, choose from pizza or pasta as an entree. It is BYOB and that can make for a fun evening. They will accommodate to suit taste, we had someone that was sensitive to sodium, they adjusted sted the entree to suit. The place is small, the food tasty and seriously, the service is over the top.“

“Excellent Roasted Chicken. Burrata, Garlic bread and Brick Oven pizza. The vibe is really nice and service is excellent.“

“This spot is phenomenal Thor pizza is out of this world with outstanding selection of specialty slices

The staff is very outgoing and engaging

You would be hard pressed to find a better slice and atmosphere“

“Had a wonderful experience with my brother and sister in law! Very friendly and attentive! Bruno was fantastic and so was the food!“

“Figlia is hands-down my favorite local spot. From the first sip of the Purple Rain cocktail to the last bite of the cacio e pepperoni pizza, I’m completely obsessed. The salads & pastas are always fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. And the staff? They treat us like family every time we come in. It’s one of those rare places that just gets it right—every single time. Love you guys!“

“Great neighborhood place with fabulous home made pasta and wonderful service.“

Besides their food, we also highly reccomend Pizza Side for their staff who are extremely welcoming, friendly and make you wanna go back. 🍕👏🏼“

“I’ve had multiple sandwiches and take home to cook pasta from both this location and the one on 5th. They never miss. Prices, customer service, quality of meats and cheeses…everything is top tier here. No seating options so just be prepared to take your sandwich to go!“

“Our Valentine’s evening was truly enchanting. The ambiance was romantic and refined, and each dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor.

What made the night exceptional was our serve Ines. Gracious, attentive, and wonderfully intuitive without ever being intrusive. We felt genuinely cared for from start to finish.

A memorable and elegant experience we look forward to repeating.“

“Went for the first time today . The owners came up to me and introduced themselves. I tried the stuffed pizza and Detroit slice it was really delicious“

“I had the pleasure of spending my 50th birthday at Piccoli Trattoria with my family. Wonderful food and great atmosphere. I felt like such a birthday queen, thanks to the staff! Can’t wait to travel from Kansas to Brooklyn again so I can visit this wonderful restaurant. Thank you so much for a beautiful experience and meal!“

“super duper yummy!! the price point is really good since sometimes pasta can be expensive, but this one is totally worth it!! i’ve been wanting to try it for some time already and it lived up to my expectations!! mwah to this pasta!! would love to come again <33“

“Durso’s Pasta & Ravioli Company is a beloved Flushing staple, offering an authentic Italian culinary experience rooted in tradition and quality. As soon as you step into the shop, you’re greeted by the many inviting aromas, the sight of hanging prosciutto, and a beautiful display of over 50 freshly prepared dishes, which are made daily.

The sandwiches are absolutely delicious, generously portioned, and perfect for a very hungry individual like myself or for sharing. If you are ordering ready to eat items, plan ahead as this is a strictly take out establishment.

You’ll also find a wide variety of gourmet, ready to enjoy meals, imported cheeses and meats, and Italian pantry staples and gift items. Their selection of homemade ravioli, fresh pastas, and sauces from classic marinara to rich bolognese is unmatched. The service is top notch, and the ambiance has a warm, family feel that makes every visit feel like coming home.

Durso’s combines quality, tradition, and hospitality a true Italian culinary gem in Queens.“

“We came with my family and it’s a very clean restaurant around Times Square There are plenty of options for those who dont eat meat the pasta was perfectly cooked and the Positano pizza was delicious ,having someone who spoke Turkish speaker was plus for us👍🏻“

“This is an incredibly special place. The sandwiches are absolutely delicious, with good portions, very high quality ingredients and great execution.

Vibes are excellent and welcoming.

The food, for as incredible as it is, is so approachable. It was the type of meal I was inspired to wanna cook for myself. This is a must stop place if you’re around.

Sandwich pictured is La Bombolona.“

“Great pizza and friendly staff. Highly recommend!“
