Profile

This Italian-foods retail store turns into a red-hot dining destination at night with the occasional crooner providing entertainment between the antipasti and the secondi. If terrific food and occasional tasting menus aren’t enough to lure you out to industrial Queens, factor in the discounts on olive oil, balsamic vinegar, cheese, and cured meats galore. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

The food is good but not great, the decor is somewhere between non existent and retail quaint, and the attitude of the help is atrocious. In addition, they have the gall to tell you that you must BUY your water or go thirsty! We walked out, and they just watched us go. Apparently, they felt it was more important to sell a bottle of water than to sell three diners, a bottle of wine, coffee, and desert. There are far better places to spend your money.

Don't listen to the waiter reviews. Our waiter, Danielle, was excellent. They know their food there and they know how to eat and enjoy. I don't eat out in Queens often, but this is a must go and i thought the entire concept of the place was great. Excellent food, music, wine, etc. This is one of the top Italian places i have been to. Does it compare to Babbo, perhaps not, but I would say it compares favorably with Lupa.
