Parkside

Located in the heart of Corona , Queens is a  Landmark restaurant called Parkside.

An Italian  eatery, and requires a reservation    most times, but especially on weekend, this place is as authentic as you can get.

The bread basket alone is spectacular. The stuffed bread with genoa salami & prosciutto , to the crusty semolina to the rolls, OMG.

Next, the menu- from  the classic apps such as baked clams, stuffed artichoke, fried calamari, stuffed mushrooms, and so many more,  to the more than 20  homemade pastas,  to the several fabulous salads and the entrees of fish selections, veal, beef, and of course, their nightly specials, this place, which has been around for decades is well worth the trip.

Live music in the bar area most nights, and a basket of apples as you enter or exit.

GO!
