Order: - Lunch Prix Fixe - Beef Meatball (5/5) - Pizza Margarita (5/5) - Spaghetti Pomodoro (4/5) - Salmone (5/5) - Tiramisu (4/5) Pros: - Great prix fixe menu that is on the affordable side - Convenient location right next to the Pepsi Cola sign at Gantry Park - Food came out relatively quickly and wait staff was attentive - Good seating with space for larger parties (saw a baby shower happening while we were dining here) Cons: - Regular menu is pretty expensive - I found the tomato sauce for the spaghetti too acidic Overall: The prix fixe menu is well worth a visit

The food, the ambience, and the setting was incredible. I came here on a date night and I was treated well by the wait staff and servers. The server broke a wine glass in front of me and he apologized and asked if I was okay. The pasta tasted fresh. I would recommend dining here.

Wowwwww! I can still taste the truffle pasta and fresh bread months later--a super large elegant space in LIC. Friends took me here for a birthday dinner--the staff was super welcoming, accommodating, and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals from apps to close. Would look to going back. It is a great place for family but also date night dress-up. I would even consider the pace for an event (birthday dinner).

Came here for my bday dinner with my hubby. The hostess were very welcoming and accommodating considering I was pregnant and couldn't make my mind for inside or outside dinning. The decor of the restaurant is very cute garden feel. Our waiter Jacinto (I think is his name) was great!! Gave great recommendations . We started off with the grilled shrimp and meatball for appetizers. Followed by the short ribs, rigatoni, and Parmesan potatoes. Everything was Delicious! The potatoes were perfectly crispy on the outside. We ended the night with the lemonciello cake which was so yummy. The Lemon taste was not over powering at all. This would be definitely a place I would return

Not only is this restaurant of the most beautifully decorated, it also has a food that is as delicious as the place looks. Service was great too. I came here for dinner with 2 friends. We all really enjoyed our meal. This is one of the best Italian restaurants in Queens The three of us dined on a Wednesday night. We were seated right away once our full party arrived and the food came out pretty quickly. Server was also very attentive. To start, we ordered the goat cheese salad. It was really delicious and great for 3 people to share. The pizza also came out with the salad even though it was intended as an entree. Was very good! We even had leftovers. For entree we had chicken Parmesan, which would have been one of the best I have had if it came with more sauce. We had to order it cream sauce. With the sauce was top 3 for sure. I would recommend adding more sauce when serving. Table side tagliatelle Al tartufo was excellent! Loved watching the chef make the pasta table side. What a treat! Portion was a bit smaller than we expected, but was delicious. For a side, we ordered the brussel sprouts, which were cooked to perfection. We also ordered cocktails that were delicious. For dessert we shared a tiramisu, which was one of the best I have ever had. I would love to come back soon and highly recommend!

One of the best restaurants in LIC, top 3 on Center Blvd. Beautiful venue, friendly & attentive staff. Reasonable prices. Dined on a Wednesday night, party of 3, we were seated right away, main dining area was pretty full. Food came out very quickly. We shared the goat cheese salad and Margherita pizza to start, both were great, shareable portions. For entree we shared the chicken Parmesan, table side TAGLIATELLE AL TARTUFO & Brussels sprouts, everything was delicious, the perfect amount of food for 3. Ended with the tiramisu which was the perfect ending to a great meal. The signature cocktail Maiella was very tasty, light and refreshing, they also make a good espresso martini.
