Picked up a pie and some side slices over the weekend. The pie was half peppers and onions and the side slices included mushrooms and pepperoni. We're still chewing on the pizza hours later. The dough and cheese were super rubbery and unwelcomed. Even our 3-year old pizza monster daughter didn't finish her slice. The pizza chef is on the crusty side too. Wouldn't mind seeing a plastic glove or two worn or a hand wash between customers. Really tough to get a good slice in north east queens in general. Best bets are Amores and Grimaldis. Allora is not bad, too. Good luck.

Came for an early dinner. Service was great. Enjoyed a Cesar salad (we shared) and several entrees: branzino with pasta; mahi mahi; parmigiana platter; and bow tie pasta with saffron sauce. All were delicious. Took home leftovers. Yum. Thereâs valet parking which makes it convenient.

Years ago, this was a terrific neighborhood pizza place; now its a great upscale Italian restaurant. Prices are in-line with fine dining in a casual Queens setting, but this place never disappoints. The food is consistently generously-portioned, high quality, and always tasty. The waitstaff are attentive, but not overly responsive (viva New York!) We keep going back--its really the best food on Union Turnpike, whether you're a St.John's college student or a longstanding neighborhood resident (as are we).

Delicious Spanish and Mediterranean food and great service. This has long been a favorite Bayside restaurant . We enjoyed a delicious dinner: steak cooked perfectly and sole stuffed with lobster and crab with lobster sauce. There was entertainment on Friday night. Entrees are $26,95. - $34,95. Paella is excellent too.

We were in town for a wedding. I asked someone that worked at the hotel to suggest a place to eat. He highly recommended Brotherâs, so I went there with the kids. The pizza was awesome! It is very authentic Italian, homemade pizza. Thin, crispy crust. Very busy, as many people there told me that they drive quite a distance to specifically come here for their pizza. The owner and staff were very friendly. We had four slices, should have just ordered a whole pizza! We did end up getting a whole pizza right before leaving for the airport. $2.75 for a slice, $16 for a whole pizza. Highly recommend.

Lovely family Italian restaurant and pizzeria. Visited with 2 other family members and enjoyed ourselves. Service was great. At least 4 different associates came by including owner to check up on our dinner, pizza, and drinks. Meal was well prepared and enjoyable. Had an Italian dinner two days earlier at another restaurant which cost 5 times more for 6 people-a mistake. Should have picked Piccolo Sotho instead.In summary, great food, reasonable prices, good value, nice presentation, great service where you are not forgotten. Italy comes to Flushing. Will return on next trip. thank you

As Italian Americans ourselves, we know what is good and what is not. Having been to the Parkside in the past, we knew that we would have a very tasty italian meal to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The entire experience was wonderful. First, valet parking was quick and efficient. Having made reservations on a Friday night, we were warmly greeted and seated promptly. Our waiter and busboy worked as a team and were extremely efficient. Wine was brought out promptly and is reasonably priced. Then our appetizers of stuffed mushrooms and cold antipasto arrived and were very good. Pasta was next and the sauce was seasoned just right. Our entrees of veal sorrentino and veal marsala were very tender and delicious. A side of sauteed escarole was tasty. The pistachio tartufo and capuccinos finished off a wonderful meal. The Parkside continues to provide excellent food, great service in a friendly atmosphere!
