Everything is gorgeous here. Get the Rustica board and either the bolognese or tagliata with blue cheese on the side. Wash it down with a glass of Barolo. Thank you, mama!

The most authentic Italian restaurant in New York . You aren't just dining, you've been invited Into Gianna 's kitchen. Make sure you finish with her homemade gelato , it's the best in the world

This is a great rustic hideaway in Long Island City. They make good pizza in the style of the suburbs of Naples, as the owner told me, different from the city . (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

We popped in the ice cream , which is made in their own kitchen. Nice boutique selection of offbeat and delicious flavors.

Paul S.

They have excellent ice cream sandwiches during the summer. You have to try them!!

This cute little place is hidden away on Vernon. Check in on Yelp to receive a free small cup of gelato !

Benjamin Peryer

Gianna will take care of you in this quintessential neighborhood restaurant . But don't leave without the gelato , the best in the neighborhood .

Flounder Rustica is delicious! Filling and light enough for a guilt free "keeping up with the New Years Resolution" lunch !!!

John Burke

Authentic , simple, flavorful. These words describe the quality Italian food found here.

Journo Girl

Gnocchi Bolognese - a bit light for me. But the flavor is delicious. It's a large portion & satisfying

Pizza is delicious. Super friendly and even let us park our bikes out back.

Excellent, authentic Italian ! Great accustic music Sunday evenings. Monk fish is to die for and the mozarella apetizer is my secret. Don't try it.

dan cohen

the soups are usually outstanding. pork with vinegar peppers is also a treat.

Alanna Y.

Gluten free gnocchi !!!

Steven Kim

Don't get the truffle special (black) if you're expecting strong truffle flavor - the truffle dishes are really subtle; or the truffles are really old

sandi vito

Wonderful!

Ate at this charming Italian restaurant in Queens... had the Shrimp a la Ida- perfection.

Fizzie Water

Grade B. A worker came out complaining about how the grading system ruins her place & was extremely rude towards us before we even got seated. Needless to say we left & won't be coming back.

Rosario F.

Had today's special, green spaghetti with seafood . Absolutely horrible. They were not spaghetti , they were overcooked to the point of being a mushy mess and they had been CUT into very short pieces!!!

Tori Storosh

Don't even ask for a menu, just to be fed
