Manetta's - Long Island City

This charming, family-owned restaurant in Long Island City offers delicious, authentic Italian cuisine. I really wish I had discovered this gem earlier, especially since it's conveniently located near...

The food was good, but the service left much to be desired. I think they should pay more attention to their non-regular customers. The atmosphere is quite comfortable...

Charming Italian restaurant with a cozy atmosphere in Long Island City. I highly recommend the fries, margherita pizza, and carbonara pasta – all were fantastic! I also loved the house-made sangria.

I visited this restaurant with a friend on a Monday afternoon, and I must say, our server Jose was outstanding from the moment we arrived until we left. He was attentive, friendly, and had a great sense of humor. Now, let's talk about the food—it was fantastic! We had the eggplant rotini, which was fresh and flavorful. The house salad, dressed with vinaigrette, hazelnuts, and apples, really captured the essence of fall; it was delicious as well. The Mona Lisa pizza was also fresh, and the truffle oil was subtle—not overpowering at all. A chef's kiss! The lasagna was on point too. Overall, it was a lovely meal and a wonderful day. I can't wait to return next week!

The food here is fantastic, reminiscent of a traditional Italian restaurant. The Margherita pizza and chicken Parmigiana were outstanding—true benchmarks for any Italian eatery. The ambiance, service, and food quality all deserve a 5-star rating. My only complaint about the area is the parking situation.
