  You want true authentic Italian food...this is your place! The quality of the food is amazing with the freshest ingredients always used. Have been there multiple times already and can't even choose just one favorite dish! Staff is very nice and polite. The chef is top notch with the closest you will ever get to Italy 🇮🇹 right here in Garden City! Check it out the next time you want to try something real! You will not regret it, they have a lot to offer, the choices are endless! Save room for dessert! Tiramisu melts in your mouth! ❤️

  Loved every aspect of our visit. We had a guys night out dinner and picked this restaurant over others since it seemed just the right size for a place that would give us the ability to have some light hearted banter with good food. Boy, this place delivered! Our waiter was Ali and he was extremely attentive and gave some excellent recommendations! Very delicious food and the chef, Albert made it a point to come out and meet us! Definitely give this gem a shot and you won’t be disappointed. We’ll all be coming back for sure! We loved the mango drink…very unique and original take…unfortunately didn’t take a photo. Just remember not to compare with Americanized Italian places. The food had a hint of the Levantine touch in it and definitely worth it. Rigatoni Arrabiatta - don’t miss it!!! What we ordered: Rigotini Arrabiatta, Penne Al Pesto with Chicken, Spaghetti con Aglio Scampi, Involtini, Chicken Cutlet Al Fungi, Marguerita Pizza (as a starter item)

  My sister suggested us trying this place because neither one of us had been before. Is very pretty and clean. We were waited on quickly and had a few questions about items on the menu. We decided to share a dish neither of us had tried before.. can't remember the name... It had 4 pieces of steak rolled up with chesses and sauce inside and a mushroom gravy over them. The cost was 40 or 45. It was good. The rice was cooked well but neither of us care too much for rice so I can't fairly judge the flavor. The meal came with salad and breadstix that were a bit plain but there was some oil to dip it in if you like that. We also ordered the penne cheese pasta a to share and that was really good! We have both talked about the atmosphere. Like I said it is clean and pretty and great service but with all the uncovered windows it felt more like a diner vibe. It just didn't reflect what the cost of the food was. We thought maybe curtains on the windows would darken it a bit and make it more of a restaurant vibe. We will probably try it again but a different menu option next time.

  The main reason you go to a restaurant is for the quality of the food, so that is what my rating is based on. We ordered the Spicy Meatballs, Calamari, Lasagna, and Margherita Pizza. First thing that came out was a “Ceaser Salad”. This salad was some leafy greens with a dressing that tasted like Dollar Tree salad dressing. Not a great start. Afterwards the Calamari and Spicy Meatballs came out together. The Calamari was extremely dry and the batter had zero taste to it. The Meatballs looked and tasted like store bought frozen meatballs. They were rubbery and felt “reheated”. The sauce reminded me of 5th grade cafeteria sauce. After these starters, we received our main dishes. We ordered the Margherita Pizza and the Lasagna. The Margherita Pizza LOOKED great and I had some hope it will taste decent, but I was wrong. The pizza sauce lacked any flavor and the cheese tasted extremely bland. We took a few bites and we were done. Now came the lasagna. The lasagna tasted like a very sweet out of the can sauce, almost sugary with a bunch of non Italian spices and boiled beef. This was not lasagna, but more of a casserole. It did not taste good. The owner came up to us after the meal, maybe because he could see our facial expressions and we were honest with him about what was wrong. He did sound a bit defensive and claimed everything is fresh. He even claimed he used ribeye in the lasagna and made the sauce himself from scratch. Now that might be the case, but it just wasn’t to our palette. Extremely disappointed with this meal and seriously one of the worst meals I’ve ever had in my life.

  THIS IS A RESPONSE TO THE REPLY BY THE OWNER OF MY ORIGINAL REVIEW: Hey owner, instead of becoming defensive maybe learn to take criticism it will help you grow personally and professionally. Nothing about my review was spiteful. It was the truth of MY experience. Also, my partner and I didn’t “coordinate” anything. We were both customers and are our own individuals we have the right to write our own review. YOU are the one that came up to us and asked how things were and encouraged us to be honest. We didn’t ask for the manager although I should have because our dinner from start to finish was TERRIBLE!! We remained kind. Also, we did NOT take food home. We left the lasagna box right on the table, we took the pizza to not offend you, but if you look at your outside camera we threw it in the trash. The review deserved a zero star but since your waitress staff was kind I didn’t want to rank it that. You thought that giving us a piece of “complimentary” tiramisu cake would make things all better? Sorry but No. The quality of the food is terrible and you should not be charging what you charge. I hope this message can inspire you as a business owner that instead of becoming defensive take criticism and learn from it. Wish you the best of luck! It was my first time eating here and my last. The food here was extremely disappointing. We ordered fried calamari- extremely dry and meatballs for the appetizers which tasted store bought. We then ordered lasagna- tasted liked canned meat and canned sauce. The pizza had absolutely no flavor. We left the place regretting the money spent and time we spent driving there. There was nothing Italian about this restaurant.
