Pizza, and panuozzi is what youâre there for. Super yummy. Buratta is great too. Great for a casual date or a family early dinner. Unassuming, oozing with authentic Italian flavor, great service.

It seems to have your typical Italian cuisine but look more closely, or better yet, ask your waiter. The off-menu dishes sometimes gravitate to the menu proper. I've had sailfish carpaccio, elk, ostrich and many game meals that were terrific.AmbassadorCarl, thanks for your review. We're glad you got the chance to stop by for a great meal. You make some great choices when it comes to selecting meals. Our sailfish is an excellent choice. We'll be here waiting when you're ready to try more off-menu items. - Chef Rocco Sacramone

Amazing food and excellent service. The dishes are often simple with complex flavors and first class ingredients. The tutto crudo is delicious and the pastas are great. You will not be disappointed with any of the choices. The sommelier tended towards her favorites rather than listening to The customerâs preferences.

We were our for a quick easy dinner and found Norma. Professional servers, nice selection of appetizers including the nicest octopus capriccio I have had anywhere in years. Good wine selection (no hard liquor). Pizzas were exceptional. Coffee and dessert great too. Not cheap, but far from expensive. A little loud, but clean and upscale. I be back.

The pastor was very good but thereâs only about 10 or 12 chairs to sit in so the atmosphere is a little lacking but the pasta is all homemade and very tasty.

The best lasagne I have ever tasted! Understated and classy restaurant with warm inviting atmosphere. I don't often return to a restaurant on a city break...but just had to! Special mention to Maria who cooed with busy bar area along with the waiters demands...always smiling

We walked here from our hotel to check it out. Wow, this food is great! And affordable. Their menu offers a lot. From chicken sandwiches and burgers to individual pizza slices or order a whole pizza. We got a couple meat Jamaican pockets. Those were excellent!! They have tables here if you want to eat in.

2. SoleLuna

Reviewed By Frank I
A friend of mine recommended SoleLuna about a month ago. I rarely frequent restaurants in Sunnyside, so this would be something different. I must say, I am glad a friend recommended this restaurant. The food and service were spectacular. The wine list is surprisingly very good with a fine variety of reds, whites and rose and sangria. The food was exceptional. It felt like we were eating homemade family made Italian Food. The staff was very friendly and attended to all our needs. Marcello, our server, went out of his way to please our party. Highly recommend. Give it a try
