    Delicious food, old style Italian restaurant. Good Margherita pizza and chicken Parmigiana were excellent, a benchmark food of Italian restaurant. Ambiance, service, food all on point for this 5-star rating. Only gripe with this area in general is parking.

    Manetta's is incredible - I recently came to visit for the first time with my family and it was a great experience! Their staff are so kind + accommodating and the atmosphere is really lovely. The food is absolutely amazing - the Fettuccine Rosse was my favorite dish. I don't come to Long Island City often, but I definitely plan to return here when I'm back in the area!!

    I came here with a friend on a Monday, late afternoon. Our server Jose was exceptional from when we entered to the moment we left. Attentive, kind and great sense of humor. Next, the food was delicious! We had the eggplant rotini(?) - fresh and tasty. House salad with the vinaigrette, hazelnut and apple gave such a fall vibe. Delicious as well. The Mona Lisa pizza was also fresh and truffle oil was faint, not over powering. Chefs kiss! Also, lasagna on point too. Overall, lovely meal and day. Will be returning next week 😌

    The food was delicious and the staff were efficient and friendly. The atmosphere was nice overall. I got the veal with eggplant and the dish had great flavors and texture. The calamari is also crispy and well cooked served with some hearty marinara. My one feedback is regarding the parsley on the side of the plates. I thought this made the presentation look messy. But overall an excellent restaurant for Italian food.

    Absolutely love this Italian restaurant! Been here over 15 times and it never disappoints. Manetta’s continues to maintain its quality of food and service. From their mouthwatering garlic herb focaccia and their scrumptious salads that look and taste like a work of art to their home-made, delicious pastas and brick oven baked pizzas, I have tried it all. Has to be one of my favorite Italian restaurants of all time in Long Island City as well as NY as a whole. My top favorites for vegetarians like myself: - Della Casa Salad - Garlic Herbed Focaccia - Rose Fettuccine (unique and absolutely delicious) - Penne a la Vodka - Roasted Garlic Margarita Pizza

    Second year in the neighborhood and I was wondering why didn’t I come here earlier? Definitely outstanding pizza and homemade pasta. Dessert was not that impressive compared to main dishes but didnt go wrong. I’ll say not everything perfect but some good points to visit. Staff were friendly, professional, providing nice services. ✨🍕Highly recommend the pizza, the dough was so chewy but crispy at the edge. Mona Lisa looked boring but trust me, it’s an impressive flavor, especially the mushrooms on the top. 🍝Gnocchi we had was absolutely good. It was soft and chewy with elegant flavor. But the sauce was a little bit dull which was the part can be improved to build up layers of taste. Although we didn’t get the original tiramisu, I guessed it would be better than the amaretto one. I felt the taste was also dull and lack of depth. And because.. I’m a cream lover so for me the mascarpone cheese layer can be thicker.

    I pass by this restaurant almost every day but last Saturday night I finally sat down for a wonderful dinner with my mum and I can say this will be one of my go-to Italian restaurants from now on. The service was great and the food was fantastic! I highly recommend the Baked Clams *chef’s kiss

    Brick oven pizza, great crust. Good octopus. Exceptional Italian restaurant with attentive service.

    I've been frequenting this establishment for over 20 years. It's the most enjoyable Italian restaurant that I eat at because of the ambiance, consistent food quality, friendly servers and owners. There's not enough room in this post for me to list my favorite entrees. Rest assured, you won't go wrong with whatever you choose.

    Very slow service and overpriced. It took about an hour just to get the order in, and when it was in, this what came, a very ridiculously small Caesar salad that had one crouton. Definitely never going back

    Awesome food, very good service and very spacious place. The gentleman that waited on us with a classy person that made me and my brother feel at home. The clams pasta was delicious as well as everything else we have ordered. Also very fair prices for the portions and drinks they gave us. Would highly recommend if I was in LIC craving some good Italian.

    This place was great!! First of all, it was so cold out tonight, entering the restaurant was immediately warm and cozy. Nice ambiance -kind of old school, classic Italian ny vibes. I got the pesto which was amazing. I ate every last bite, and I already wish I could eat it again. The fontina on top completed it 🤤🤤🤤. I also got the cocktail on special: pumpkin apple cider martini. Delicious!

    The staff couldn't have been nicer. The food came out at a nice easy pace so you could savor it. A great place to go with a group!

    Welcome dinner for wedding party. Wonderful food, staff, and venue. Staff pleasant and accommodating. Food excellent! Good portions and well prepared. All of our guests, 30+, were impressed and enjoyed their meals. Had set up in-house catering and they were very good to work with. Highly recommend!!!!

    The restaurant is nice but the food was like Gen Z people say mid. I was really looking forward to the food here but it wasn’t that great. It’s a bit pricey so I was expecting something better. The servers were also a bit rude and not welcoming. The bread was hard, the calamari needed more Crispiness and to be more softened. The Vegan ravioli needs to be updated because the presentation and the quality of the meal was poor.

    A Very Charming Atmosphere, they even had a Lit Fireplace. Felt like we were in a Hallmark Movie. The Service, Staff, and Food was Excellent! The Desserts was over the top. You must try their Tiramisu and Cream Puffs covered in Chocolate Mousse Yum!!
