Reviews for Il Poeta in Queens, NY
Yummy ???? yummy ???? yum ???? I’m so thrilled to try this local gem for my daughter’s 29 birthday/Master’s Degree ... celebration. The service impeccable, special touch from the Chef’s personal greeting, the homemade seafood pasta,shrimp/asparagus penne, even their roasted chicken dish with roasted potatoes for the gluten sensitive was good and theircocktails, wine spot on and to top it off napoleon chocolate cake was an absolute hit! Will be back! Read more

This was honestly the worst service I’ve ever experienced. Hector wouldn’t stop hounding us, gave us no time to order, food... made me sick. The plates of food are also so tiny. Fish didn’t even taste cooked. Please save your money. For the love of god,don’t come here. Read more
Great service and amazing food. Used to go here every Wednesday for their 3 course diner special but that's not available... anymore. The chef is friendly and polite. Calamari and mussels are the best appetizer and any pasta dish is amazing. Go todessert is the creme Brulee Read more
Always a great time one of our favorite date restaurants in Forest Hills. The food is incredible starting with the bean spread... that comes with the bread. This evening we had three of the special appetizers, the octopus, baked clams and the burrata. Weactually ordered the burrata later after we watched come out from the kitchen a few times it was my favorite. She had the beefbolognese and I had the calf liver. We both enjoyed our entrees. Always room for dessert! Can't wait to visit again. Read more
It was usually a good restaurant, but this weekend when I was there the experience was pretty bad. Not the food quality but the... speed, I was there for dinner around 7pm. Not all tables were filled, but from order of our food to it serve our appetizertook over an hour, I am not joking. Main dishes took another 15min after we finished our appetizer. They asked us three timesfor extra bread :-( their know their were slow. Food quality is ok, but not justify for over an hour wait. Will not returnthere for a long while and hope they will improve their services. Read more
