We live on 2nd Ave but have not been here for many years. Had family coming in and wanted a casual lunch. Well this was the perfect place. Venessa our waitress was very nice and helpful. The food was delicious. Some had pasta dishes and the rest fish dishes. Everything was good. The only problems I see are the parking and itâs smaller inside then I thought.

Visiting Cascarinos Pizzeria yesterday while in Queens! We had a few problems with our dining experience! The service was great, and the food came pretty quickly! Unfortunately, the Manhattan cocktail I ordered came with a little more protein than I wanted, a fly was doing backflips in my drink! The waiter whisked it away and set it near the computer in kitchen, which was in view. He said he remade it, but I witnessed him serving me the same drink! Tsk Tsk!The grandma's pizza we ordered was great! It was huge and had a nice crust, sauce and fresh mozzarella and basil. Really a delicious pie! You know I love my lentil soup, but their lentil soup was not good!! Tasted a tad bit better than dish water! It had a watery, tasteless broth! Onto entrees! The chicken Parmignia was very good except it had a lot of grizzle! The sauce was excellent and the pasta was good! My lasagna was good but it was hard to find in all the cheese it had on top and floating in! Less cheese would have made this dish a winner! All in all a moderate dining experience. It's not a place I would return to or recommend though.

I've been here a few times before they have very good lunch specials and will make any sandwich to your liking. The food is always good ,same with the service. Place is clean. Also they have a good hot buffet Italian style. I really like their chicken cutlets. Would recommend a visit. Prices are a little steep

One glance at this menu and you can see the wide range of choices there are. They also have specials. The Rigatoni & Italian Sausage is delicious. All the food is well prepared with fresh produce, meats and fish. I am happy this restaurant is in my neighborhood!
5. Salâs Pizza and Italian Kitchen
Reviewed By JesseSlome
I was visiting Flushing and figured I'd try someplace different for pizza. Much to my disappointment, there was no street parking nearby (we had someone in the car who couldn't walk). So, while I can't review the food, I thought it was worth sharing this with others who might be considering.

After visiting the botanical gardens, feeling peckish and craving pizza we checked our go to on-line adviser and off we drove 20 minutes to this homey pizzeria. Servers smiled and warmly greeted us as we entered. The space appears small but there was a sunny welcoming outdoor dining area. We felt as if we were dining at the home a a friend. My slice had the requirements of good pizza; thin crispy crust with a hint of salt that crunches just a bit when I sliced my incisors through it with a thin layer of cheese that when pulled from my teeth formed a string from my mouth to the slice. A light layer of sauce added a bit of acid and sweetness that enhanced the flavors. The pizza was not oily. Priced at $3.25; a bit expensive.OK, now the CALZONES; the best I ever had. A variety of these cheese stuffed breads were available. I had the broccoli rabe. It was huge, enough for dinner. The crust was nicely thin yet thick enough to hold the savory ingredients, slightly salty filled with mozzarella cheese and fresh tasting broccoli rabe. I side of red sauce for dipping added sweet, salty moisture. My husband had the chicken parm. calzone; he gobbled it up so quickly, I just know he enjoyed it. Each were reasonably priced at $6.50Things to know, ample parking, cash only, ATM available and no delivery.

Reviewed By AmbassadorCarl
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

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!
