As Italian Americans ourselves, we know what is good and what is not. Having been to the Parkside in the past, we knew that we would have a very tasty italian meal to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The entire experience was wonderful. First, valet parking was quick and efficient. Having made reservations on a Friday night, we were warmly greeted and seated promptly. Our waiter and busboy worked as a team and were extremely efficient. Wine was brought out promptly and is reasonably priced. Then our appetizers of stuffed mushrooms and cold antipasto arrived and were very good. Pasta was next and the sauce was seasoned just right. Our entrees of veal sorrentino and veal marsala were very tender and delicious. A side of sauteed escarole was tasty. The pistachio tartufo and capuccinos finished off a wonderful meal. The Parkside continues to provide excellent food, great service in a friendly atmosphere!

Smack in the graffiti filled Bushwick district. Large beautiful space. Outside patio tables are quite nice. Neat and nicely decorated. We got there around 1pm. They werenât busy at all, not sure why. Good staff. Good pizzas and decent beers.Small bathroom with a tiny corner sink. We ran here from Manhattan and I would have liked to wash my face! âºï¸They are cash only.

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

We usually order the ravioli. Cheese is our favorite. Portions are wonderful tasting and very filling. Salads are fresh and crispy and nice sized. Dressings are fresh tasting. Homemade bread is hearty and delicious. Staff is most friendly and attentive. Prices are very good. Going to try their cauliflower crust pizza next time. This place is so clean and kept one would think it is brand new but it is a well established place. When he can, the chef comes out front and checks on every table. Casual dress. This is a 5 STAR Restaurant

Very minimal but trendy location, nice staff and excellent food, a smart blend of french and italian cuisine.In particular, the fois gras starter and the duck were really well-served and tasty; also the pasta was remarkable.Deserves its reputation.

Although this restaurant has been a staple of this community for decades, the service kinks are still not worked out. Service is polite and friendly when you can find a wait staff member. Severely understaffed.Traditional southern Italian fare served in more than adequate portions. The old stand bys of veal, eggplant and chicken parmigiana are the stars. An above average Matriciana with rigatoni but failed in the fish department, smelly salmon that was over grilled. Vegetable medley was steamed mush. A better selection was the side of spaghetti.

If I could give this 7-stars I would. What was supposed to be a casual birthday dinner turned into an unexpectedly amazing night.Food-wise, the four of us started with the bruschetta and mushroom apps. Both really solid. I got the oregano pizza. As a huge za'atar fan, this might have been my favorite pizza toppings-wise I've ever had. The labneh is what really pulls it together. The pizza itself was very high quality.I was sitting next to a spaghetti carbonara aficionado. Its her litmus test at every Italian restaurant (and she's been to many). She said this was top-3 in the city.The four cheese gnocchi was out of this world. I only had a bite of the birthday boy's dish, but the gnocchi melted in my mouth and the cheeses were blended to perfection.Lastly, the chicken parm was supposedly excellent as well. We were all incredibly satisfied by our meals.At the table next to us were two women who had mouth-watering looking dishes as well. One of them was controlling the music in the restaurant. I'm not entirely sure how it happened, but she put on a song we requested, and we all started clapping and then dancing. Turns out she was the owner! She refilled our drinks, and brought out a birthday tiramisu with a HUGE sparkler. Just look at how happy the birthday boy is - the picture says it all!We ended up hanging out at the restaurant for several more hours. The owner, her friend and the staff were so much fun. Even a spilt glass of red wine and a ruined dress couldn't stop us. My face actually hurt from smiling and laughing so much.It was one of those magical hospitality moments that will stick with you for a long time. I'm certain you won't replicate our experience - and frankly, we couldn't either if we tried - but no matter what, this place is worth the visit.

This was our first time eating here. Our son recommended it. We had an enjoyable lunch. They had many kinds of pizza, hero's, specialty rolls, salads, pasta dishes, dinners, drinks and desserts. We ordered at the counter - 5 slices of pizza with different toppings and grilled chicken with mozzarella cheese and roasted red peppers sandwich. We enjoyed everything. The pizza slices and sandwich were very fresh and tasty. In addition we had friendly service.

Iâve been going to Saraghina for a few years now, the restaurant itself with itâs fantastic patio and (while overpriced) pretty solid menu options. The pizzas are delicious and the fried chicken sandwich was absolutely phenomenal. But this restaurant has the most consistent bad service Iâve ever seen. Iâm not sure if this is an issue with understaffing or not properly training staff, but I have always had issues with simple things like having my card out on the table for over 20 minutes before I had to bring my card up to the bar to pay my bill. My most recent trip took the cake. I went in with three friends for brunch and we sat at the bar. It was very busy at the time so I was forgiving that it took 15/20 minutes for the bartender to even acknowledge us sitting directly in front of her, but when another employee had to check in with us for a drink order because he could tell we were being outright ignored I started to lose a little faith. Eventually she took our food orders (which came out before we got our drinks, two beers and two three ingredient cocktails) and just genuinely seemed disinterested in giving any attention to her 6 customers at the bar.I keep coming for the ambiance and food, but each time Iâm reminded that the entire experience suffers from the service. Itâs a shame.

The pizzas at Robertaâs are great. No doubt about it. Steaming hot, fresh ingredients and with nice subtle hints of just that extra ingredient.. but my god the prices are steep!The menu mainly consists of cheese pizzas around $20 to add on toppings ranging from $2(the basics) to $5 (the meats).. order two beers and your up to $70 for a lunch or dinner and if the pizza was just that big that you feel youâve eaten enough thatâs a good price but this great tasting pizza just left me a bit hungry afterwards..
