    This is such a great gem in the area for Italian food. I’ve been a few times and I have never been disappointed. We were there last night and we had 2 pizzas - arugula w/ prosciutto and sausage and broccoli- excellent crust - soft and sturdy in all the right spots Pasta w pesto and spaghetti Congolese were delicious! Their service was attentive and friendly I would recommend and go back again

    I’ve been to Mercado LIC a number of times and this place is Phenomenal. The ambience, the food, the bar, the service has been top-notch. I have a very high standard for Italian food and Gino and his team beat it every time. For the appetizer, try their meatballs or the goat cheese appetizer on focaccia. They’re spin on calamari is calamari and shrimp together! If you’re a fan of chicken scarpariello Ask them to make it for you - you will be more than happy! Also for dessert, try one of their chocolate martinis

    I grew up Italian-American (my grandfather lived on Arthur Avenue) and this place has some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had in my life. The staff is incredibly welcoming, and the owner went out of his way to make our engagement night special. Don’t be fooled by 5-star reviews from clueless tourists who like Olive Garden…if you want to get authentic Italian food, talk to Italian people about where they go to eat. This place is the real deal and we will be coming back. Grazie mille, Gino!

    I’ve dined here with my family and dined here alone. Great service and great food each time. Owner/manager is also very nice and goes out of his way to make sure you are comfortable. Eggplant penne is very good. Great addition to the neighborhood!
