“Food is yummy! My go to place in Brooklyn! Coda is excellent and the flatbread are also yummy! The Sangiovese red wine on tap is also nice! Highly recommend and make reservations in the weekend“

“The food was great start to finish.
The cocktail I tried was also on point.
They didn't rush us at all.

But:
It was very loud.
Our two top menu choices were both out.
Service was a little off.

Maybe Sunday evening's aren't their best time?“

“Delicious and such incredibly warm service!! Our first time here and will be back. Big winners were the tortelloni — big luscious pillowy bites — and the gramigna, a total crowd pleaser. Also enjoyed every one of our cocktails. Thank you Gigante team!!“

“Fun indoor/outdoor dining environment and delicious food make for a nice night out!“

“We used to frequent the Astoria location which was always so great. The new Manhattan location is no different. Somewhat smaller, but just very cozy and very nice looking. Amazing food as always. The flavors and taste are just the best. No matter what you order you will not go wrong. The service is top notch and Rocco and his staff are just the best at what they do. Just go, you won't regret it.“

“Step into Bamonte’s and you’re stepping into a time capsule, old-school Italian charm where everyone seems to be part of the same famiglia. Servers in suits, voices raised over clinking glasses, and that cozy chaos you expect from a real-deal Italian joint. Food? Solid tasty and comforting, but not exactly life-changing. Not ideal for a whispery date night, unless you’re into yelling “pass the bread!” over Sinatra. Still, it’s a Brooklyn icon. Mangia!“

“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!“

“The atmosphere and service were outstanding. We only went for desert and coffee. The chocolate cake was amazing. A couple we vacationed with has eaten dinner there 2 nights before and said how amazing the food was. One of the staff members even gave us a personal tour and history of the building. Will be back to Brooklyn and will definitely come back.“

“We sat outside. Our party was served quickly and efficiently. Food was very good.“

“everything. food is delicious!“

“THE best Italian cuisine in NYC. Period. Bring the crew and make sure to order the butternut squash tortelli and bottle of Lambrusco.“

“Authentic Italian Experience in the Heart of Astoria
We had an amazing time at Sotto la Luna with our friends — everything was simply perfect! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious — just like in Italy.
The restaurant has a beautiful setting, with an open kitchen where you can watch the chefs preparing your meal with care and passion. It adds a special touch to the whole dining experience.
During our 3-day stay in New York, we loved it so much that we came back for a second dinner. That says it all!
Congratulations to the entire team — you made our visit to Astoria truly memorable!“

“A wonderful restaurant - delicious food, wine, marvelous service. Thank you“

“The food quality was noticeably better than just okay. The selection presents varied meal options. As usual, I found the sweet options most memorable. To highlight first, the staff's service is exceptional. I'm excited to try more items here.“

“Everything is great. Coming here over 25 yes. One thing I noticed who's overall incharge he is no Tony. And never will be. Stained tablecloth oil bottle on table dirty and greasy. Dirty windows. Tony would never have put up with that. I also miss his cooking. It's the little things. But Tony would never put up with this. Everything had to be perfect.“

“If you go in New York absolutely you have to go to taste the food in La voglia restaurant. I recommend to everyone.“

“Experimentar o Amaro é uma experiência divertida!“

“My family and I had an excellent experience dining out at Rialto this past weekend. We were celebrating two birthdays, and the entire staff did everything possible to make it special. They were very attentive and provided a high level of service. All the food came out hot and tasted great - particularly the eggplant parm. These factors plus the elegant atmosphere provided an unforgettable experience. We will certainly be back!“

“Really good place for special occasions, the service is excellent and the food it’s amazing, I have been twice and I am coming back because the food is fresh and delicious, everything you get there !“

“Absolutely adore coming here. The service is attentive but not overbearing. The food is top notch with great selections. It’s a wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion, or just to treat yourself. The manager Pure is friendly, and Gian who has been our waiter the last two times is wonderful. Top notch place.“

“Like the latest review, I also made a reservation but when I arrived, Marie’s was completely shuttered.

I checked their Instagram, and it turns out they’re closed indefinitely ❗️Doesn’t seem like they’ve updated their Google info yet, but I’ve attached a screenshot of their latest IG post!“

“This was a really lovely gem. The food is great, with every dish bringing that very unique comfort that Italian food masters. The drinks are well-balanced and strong, would especially recommend sampling the negronis. The service is personable, attentive, and really ensures that you want to come back - and bring your friends and family. An all around lovely spot in Bed-Stuy.“

“This was the warm Italian hug I was wanting on our recent trip to NY. We were at the MOMI down the street, and had made reservations for dinner at Sac's after the museum. We had tired, hungry tummies, and were a good hour from our original reservation time. The good people over at Sac's accommodated my family immediately, and with pleasure! The atmosphere was welcoming, comfortable, inviting, and straight up authentic..this coming from a Sicilian girl with olive oil in her veins. My family ordered a variety of dishes, each one spectacular! 2 different pizza's, fried zucchini, sausage, and the BEST shrimp scampi I have ever eaten! The staff treated us like family, and were super attentive, anticipating our needs, and not missing a beat. At the end of our meal, Domenico Sacramone, one of the owners came by our table to chat, it was lovely and greatly appreciated! That's the extra touch of love, and attention someone who really cares about their business, and their customers puts out! It was genuine, and made the experience that much better! If we were locals, this would be our weekly dinner spot! Thank you to all over at Sac's Place for a wonderful meal, and a fantastic dining experience! We will most definitely be back“

“Our recent private family birthday bash at Manducatis Rustica was wonderful! I can not thank Gianna enough for her time in planning the menu and offering to prepare anything my family likes. The food was delicious and abundant , the staff was attentive and kind, the tables were set beautifully. It was like being in my own home -warm and friendly without me doing all the work . I will be returning for dinner often! Bravo to Gianna and all her staff at Manducatis Rustica !“

“I love the wait staff and the owner was extremely attentive to the patrons. I will definitely be back“

“Poly is a great person , the first sausage sandwich I’ve ever eaten was from this food truck about 20 years ago, and guess what , will be no other Italian sausage sandwich I’ll eat, the freshness and the quality here is incomparable, thank you POLY🫡“

“Chef Chris was professional, punctual, and helped me host the most amazing dinner party for my mom‘s birthday in the Hamptons. He created a fantastic menu and was able to accommodate all dietary restrictions while keeping the meal, smooth, consistent, and absolutely delicious. He is not only a delight to work with, but incredibly easy to coordinate with. He was such a pleasure to have in the kitchen, helped me prepare the table and made me feel at ease, even though it was very probable that our outdoor celebration might get ruined by the rain. 12 out of 10 if you’re hosting a dinner party in the Hamptons or in Aspen, he is your guy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone for any occasion.“

“The food really delicious the server ver pleasant And kind . Also net and good looking.“
