Villa Erasmo - Middle Village

A hidden gem in Queens! I love how close it is. The food is fantastic, and the service is excellent. On Friday nights, they have live music that brings classic Sinatra vibes.

A group of us visited for lunch, and we were very well taken care of. We enjoyed some delicious bread to start, followed by a tasty meal.

I had their eggplant parmesan for the first time on Thanksgiving, and they prepare it just the way I love it. The eggplant is nice and thin, not soggy at all, and the breading is perfectly seasoned. The tomato sauce strikes the perfect balance between sweet and slightly tangy, and there's just the right amount of cheese melted on top. It's absolutely amazing! I'm so thrilled to have found this gem and just wish I'd discovered it sooner. I live an hour away, but I would definitely drive that distance for this eggplant!

Great experience food staff and location all came together well

I really enjoyed my last experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere is warm, and the room is nice and quiet with plenty of space to spread out. I'd like to hear Italian music or jazz instead of 80's/90's soft rock, but it's on low volume and it's certainly not a deal breaker. The service is exceptional. Our waiter was attentive and he knew all the specials and can explain them without reading. The food was also very good and they had a nice variety, so there was something for everyone. Parking is mostly on the street, but it isn't very difficult to find something close. Overall, I was very pleased and I'll definitely return.
