Reviews for Manducatis in Queens, NY

We meant to try this place for quite a long time since we moved to LIC and this past weekend we finally had dinner here. We... thought it's a small place when peeking thought the windows from the outside. However we were pleasantly surprised when thewaiter led us through two rooms into the charming dining room, which has really nice ambiance with the exposed brick and stonewall. The service was absolutely attentive. We had the fried calamari for appetizer, it was lightly breaded and very tasty. Weordered our entrees (seafood pasta, and pork dish) from the special of the day. Big portion and delicious on the pasta, and thepork was tasty, tender and not dry. We really enjoyed the food and will definitely come back again. Read more

Great food! feeling like it?s more suitable as a place of celebration. The place has a deceiving entry ? it?s huge inside. ... Overall food was great, but the whopping price tag that came with it made it a tougher sell for me. People seems to enjoy theplace a lot tho! Read more

Loved the carbonara and the scallops!! The house wine was decent amount to enjoy with foods. And the best service ever!?

Three generations, such great service and the food was delish! If you get the chance to stop, take it.

We had the pleasure of dining at this family-run Italian restaurant in LIC, and let me tell you, it?s definitely worth the... visit! We had the Eggplant Rolletini to start with, then for our main dishes, I had the spaghetti carbonara, and my boyfriendhad the chicken alla parmigiana (not pictured: a side of penne pasta that comes with the chicken). For dessert, we had thevanilla and chocolate tartufo. Everything was delicious, authentic cuisine. After chatting with Anthony, the owner and ourwaiter that night, we found out that his 81-year-old mother is the chef! How amazing is that! Can?t wait to go back to theCerbone Family?s restaurant for another homemade Italian meal. Read more

Ida and Vincenzo, the owners are just adorable. I feel like being around my nonni when i?m with them. Their son Anthony who also... runs the business is such a happy, nice and attentive person. I went to Manducatis yesterday to interview the owners for myBlog and YouTube channel and had a chance to try Ida?s amazing food. Melanzane were very delicious and spinach tagliatelle withfresh chopped tomato as well. Their wine list is big, they have a great selection of both white and red (some red wines aredated back to end of 1800) That place is just a gem and one of the best kept secret of LIC, Queens. Can?t wait to visit themagain soon!!! Read more
