Last Friday evening, my family and I had the pleasure of dining at L'Italiano Trattoria around 5:15 pm, spontaneously and without a reservation. Despite being fully booked, the staff kindly found us a table, asking only that we finish by 6:45 pm. This warm welcome was a wonderful start to our visit. The atmosphere was intimate and friendly, with many guests greeted personally, indicating a loyal and regular clientele. This charming spot is a true hidden gem, cherished by those who prefer timeless quality over fleeting trends, and it's evident in the lack of widespread online acclaim. Service was exceptionally quick. We were immediately served water and delicious complimentary bread, showcasing the staff's efficiency and expertise. Our order was taken with impressive memory, further displaying the team's professionalism. For starters, we had the Misto Oreganato, a homemade delight with a subtle breading that enhanced the flavors, particularly the white wine in the sauce. The Pasta Primavara, ordered by my sons, was thoughtfully served on two plates, emphasizing the kitchen's attention to detail. The dish itself was fresh and perfectly balanced. The Calamari Salad was a hit, featuring excellently grilled calamari with a light dressing. The Cannelloni stood out with its perfectly cooked pasta and rich ricotta filling. Opting to take our desserts home, we were thrilled with the cheesecake, reminiscent of the famous Eileen's in Nolita, and the Nutella Mousse Chocolate Cake was equally delightful. Concluding our meal with the convenience of tableside card payment, we left impressed by the seamless experience. L'Italiano Trattoria is where tradition, outstanding service, and culinary expertise come together. We eagerly anticipate our next visit, this time with a reservation, to enjoy this much-loved local gem once again.

Hands down, the best Italian cookie I’ve ever had.

Came here for my brother’s birthday. Vinny and everyone working in the restaurant took care of us. The owner and her mother completely accommodated us because our dinner ran a little later and we still wanted to have cake to which they were more than happy to oblige! I love how their menu lists the courses out just like how it is in Italy!

Absolutely delicious!!! Our go to place to give people some of the best Southern Italian food in Queens. Everything is made from scratch. The desserts especially the tiramisu is tremendous. Will be back soon.

Authentic, delicious food. I visited here with friends and the food was so good. I'm definitely coming back with my family. I got to try a little bit of everyone's dish and I was not disappointed with any of them. I had the the...Pollo alla fria (I believe that's the name), Chicken with spinach, prosciutto in a wine sauce, yummy.
