Joan Guzman: Veal parmigiana was delicious!
Alison Niederberger: This place has been here since I was a child. It's a quaint, quiet little Italian restaurant, with all authentic food. Family owned, and you can feel the love because of it!
Derek: Great family-owned italian restaurant that has been around for decades!
Andrew Odella: the best veal parm I’ve had in 25 years, since moving to Cali from East coast. The roll was perfect, sauce very well balanced and they use fresh mozzarella! A religious experience.
jon ferrer: Excellent selection of imported Italian groceries, cheeses and cured meats. The sandwiches are really really good too. And everyone here is super friendly.
Serious Eats: This deli deserves its rep for good sandwiches and Italian specialties, great deli products, and some of the friendliest counter staff you'll find anywhere. Cash only.

Ken Pierce: So many good dishes here it's hard to line them out. We had clams, eggplant, veal parmigiana and calamari which I loved.
Vincent Godino: The baked top neck clams and the mussels bianco with extra garlic, yum yum, then then the calamari (sauteed) out of this world.
Joel D: Baked clams...nom nom nom
MJ DIEHL: One of the most beautiful beaches in North East, even after Sandy. Fort Tilden part part especially cool. Far Rock great for surfers
Brian Rafferty: Retired cops, firefighters and a hipster invasion, what could be better?
Joan Lazar: Fav beach in queens.

Italian Restaurant · 7 tips and reviews
Matthew Caldecutt: The lunch special gets you an appetizer and entree. I recommend the fried mozzarella and gnocchi, but you'll barely have room for the tiramisu, which is homemade and excellent
William H: Really great Italian place if you happen to find yourself in the neighborhood.
Juan (John) Tubert: The lunch special on Sundays is affordable ($15.95) and has great choices

Ericka C: A good place to pick up a slice or sit with your family. (But my top choice is Vacarros.)
Patrick Byrnes: Best pizza! I used to live across the street from this place, out of poor time management and foresight I use to eat this everyday, now I actually drive past 5 pizzerias to come here. So delicious
Tom V: Best pizza in the area.
