It is on 235th St but at the base of the Douglaston/LittleNeck Train Station, and don't let that deter you! It looks small, but actually, has 2 rooms downstairs & a room upstairs.
The food is sensational. Last night, to start, I had the special salad- amazing! Organic Greens with red onions, grilled portabello mushrooms & monchego cheese in a roasted shallot vinaigrette- I have to figure out how to duplicate the recipe for the dressing- outstanding!! Larry has the homemade Gnocci- little fluffy pillows of handmade pasta filled with potato, served with veal sausage & broccoli rabe in a light olive oil & roasted garlic sauce.
Our entrees were also wonderful- I had the whole grilled Branzino, served with sauteed spinach with a wasabi drizzle and he had the grilled Rib eye in a jalapeno & tomato glaze served with fingerling potatoes, roasted corn & fresh asparagus- YUMMY! The meat was cooked to perfection.
I highly recommend reservations n Friday & Saturday night. We have never gone there on a Sunday, but they have a special pre-fixe and I have friends & clients who rave about their "SUNDAY DINNER" & the BEST lasagne ever!!! Mangia!
