Reviews for Roberto's Gourmet Kitchen in Staten Island, NY
My job just started ordering from here and I must say it has been great. Firstly, the service is great. They are very... enthusiastic on the phone and they come really quickly. The daily lunch specials are great in terms of pricing. Also, I recentlygot their cod fish and it was honestly excellent. The fish tasted perfect and almost melted in your mouth. The rice has a lot offlavor. I appreciate Roberto?s a lot. Read more
Hands down best soup on Staten Island and all of the food is great. Another plus is everyone who works here, always helpful,... friendly and Paul amazingly remembers everyone's name! Read more
It's like the old gang decided to get back together. Just like the article read from a couple of years ago. I just found out... they opened up and decided to try it. Had the Waldorf chicken salad over greens special and the fried zucchini sticks. Bothwere absolutely excellent. The salad came with their (or what was Cucina Mia's from back in the day) signature creamy balsamicdressing. The zucchini was a large order especially for the price point and they were not greasy. I ordered for deliveryonline and it was speedy to say the least. I will definitely eat here again. Read more
It sounds and looks way better than it is. When you get your food even if opened immediately, it is soggy and dripping with too... much meat. Meat that was cold in the center, which means it didnt touch the grill. I ordered a Cuban panini and what I got was acold cut sandwich on pita with fancy, tri-color chips which were flavorless. Disappointed, this is just a fancy named delithat's all. Only things I liked were the dressing if it didnt make the sandwich so drippy and the little side salad it camewith, that was also good. Would I visit again? Meh, no. Read more

This IS one of the BEST places for good food on the island! Just order early, since they close around 8pm on weekdays and 6pm... on weekends. We have ordered all different foods and dishes from Roberto's (about 4 times over the past 2 weeks or so now) andwe have really enjoyed each and every one that we have tried so far, except, and sorry to say, a couple of the soups, while theItalian Wedding was OK and the French Onion had a nice flavor, it had just a bit too many huge pieces of onion for ourliking. We also didn't really care for the Chicken noodle, the broth was OK, but the noodles were a bit hard/under boiled and itwas kinda greasy, we also didn't care for the Minestrone which had a weird flavor, possibly from the cauliflower that was in it,which we are not fans of, All the soups came with a nice big fresh piece of Italian bread, which was a nice bonus. Kinda sadthat they always seem to be out of the Tortellini soup when we call. Prices really aren't bad at all, in fact they are aroundthe same as most others and somewhat cheaper than many other joints who's food isn't nearly as good and we don't mind paying forgood food! The staff on the phone are always so polite, professional and courteous, even when it sounds very busy in thebackground! Our orders always seem to arrive pretty fast and we don't even live close by at all, it's great that they willdeliver all the way over to us and they are always so polite and courteous when they show up, which goes a long way withus! The Italian Sub Panini are really good! Got that twice so far and both times everything in it was so fresh and tasty! TheEggplant parm. hero was really good, not heavy or greasy like how you get it from many other places and it was filling! TheMarinated Steak was excellent, tender, tasty and cooked to perfection, not too well done, not too rare and the potatoes andgrilled veggies with it were slammin' and I don't really like potatoes nor veggies at all! The (grilled?) Potatoes had Read more
Best customer service on the Island..the owners, managers, and workers work in perfect concert to make sure your food is ready... when and how you ask for it. I couldn't preorder before Thanksgiving day due to a family matter for a turkey dinner. Worried,.Iknew my choices would be wait an hour for Boston Market or come to one or my favorite lunch spots. Despite ordering onThanksgiving day itself when ordering was closed, they were both able to accommodate the time I asked for and the 2 dinnerplates hot and fresh. Roberto's is already a top tier lunch spot in the neighborhood especially for large groups (Anyone canget what they want as they have a huge variety of food.) Their Italian style is superb from their former roots in a nearbyrestaurant. The soups are what they are known for and they're not even the best thing. Their parmigiana sandwiches are cheaperand better than local pizzerias. These guys are constantly supporting our local police and fire department, regardless of yourpolitics you know they're a hard working neighborhood institution. Order lunch for yourself, or your coworkers, but definitelykeep this spot on your list. Read more
