Very minimal but trendy location, nice staff and excellent food, a smart blend of french and italian cuisine.In particular, the fois gras starter and the duck were really well-served and tasty; also the pasta was remarkable.Deserves its reputation.

It seems to have your typical Italian cuisine but look more closely, or better yet, ask your waiter. The off-menu dishes sometimes gravitate to the menu proper. I've had sailfish carpaccio, elk, ostrich and many game meals that were terrific.AmbassadorCarl, thanks for your review. We're glad you got the chance to stop by for a great meal. You make some great choices when it comes to selecting meals. Our sailfish is an excellent choice. We'll be here waiting when you're ready to try more off-menu items. - Chef Rocco Sacramone

We walked here from our hotel to check it out. Wow, this food is great! And affordable. Their menu offers a lot. From chicken sandwiches and burgers to individual pizza slices or order a whole pizza. We got a couple meat Jamaican pockets. Those were excellent!! They have tables here if you want to eat in.

The place was packed, but the noise level was not too bad. The three of us ate appetizers of chickpeas, beets and eggplant bruschetta. The two pizzas were more than enough for the three of us. We finished our meal with lemon olive oil cake and strawberry sorbet

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!

If I could give this 7-stars I would. What was supposed to be a casual birthday dinner turned into an unexpectedly amazing night.Food-wise, the four of us started with the bruschetta and mushroom apps. Both really solid. I got the oregano pizza. As a huge za'atar fan, this might have been my favorite pizza toppings-wise I've ever had. The labneh is what really pulls it together. The pizza itself was very high quality.I was sitting next to a spaghetti carbonara aficionado. Its her litmus test at every Italian restaurant (and she's been to many). She said this was top-3 in the city.The four cheese gnocchi was out of this world. I only had a bite of the birthday boy's dish, but the gnocchi melted in my mouth and the cheeses were blended to perfection.Lastly, the chicken parm was supposedly excellent as well. We were all incredibly satisfied by our meals.At the table next to us were two women who had mouth-watering looking dishes as well. One of them was controlling the music in the restaurant. I'm not entirely sure how it happened, but she put on a song we requested, and we all started clapping and then dancing. Turns out she was the owner! She refilled our drinks, and brought out a birthday tiramisu with a HUGE sparkler. Just look at how happy the birthday boy is - the picture says it all!We ended up hanging out at the restaurant for several more hours. The owner, her friend and the staff were so much fun. Even a spilt glass of red wine and a ruined dress couldn't stop us. My face actually hurt from smiling and laughing so much.It was one of those magical hospitality moments that will stick with you for a long time. I'm certain you won't replicate our experience - and frankly, we couldn't either if we tried - but no matter what, this place is worth the visit.

Avoided this place for a long time due to poor sanitary grades. Had gone countless times back in the day and always enjoyed their pizza, particularly the famous Sicilian slices. When the grade in the window slipped below an A for what seemed like forever, family and I found pizza elsewhere. When we finally noticed the A grade was back, we returned to give it another shot. I still really like the Sicilian, but it doesnât quite live up to its status from years ago. The rest of the pizza is just slightly above average for me. Gets 4 stars, though, because that type of Sicilian slice is tough to find in other pizzerias.

The pizzas at Robertaâs are great. No doubt about it. Steaming hot, fresh ingredients and with nice subtle hints of just that extra ingredient.. but my god the prices are steep!The menu mainly consists of cheese pizzas around $20 to add on toppings ranging from $2(the basics) to $5 (the meats).. order two beers and your up to $70 for a lunch or dinner and if the pizza was just that big that you feel youâve eaten enough thatâs a good price but this great tasting pizza just left me a bit hungry afterwards..

A friend of mine recommended SoleLuna about a month ago. I rarely frequent restaurants in Sunnyside, so this would be something different. I must say, I am glad a friend recommended this restaurant. The food and service were spectacular. The wine list is surprisingly very good with a fine variety of reds, whites and rose and sangria. The food was exceptional. It felt like we were eating homemade family made Italian Food. The staff was very friendly and attended to all our needs. Marcello, our server, went out of his way to please our party. Highly recommend. Give it a try
