    My rigatoni pasta dish. Very good
    Tom B.

    The best thing about this place is the food. Surprisingly, it was some of the best, if not the best, airport food I have ever had... for a price. It is located in Terminal 5 at JFK and conveniently located in the center of activity, although there is a cordoned off area protecting you from the masses and adjacent open food hall. The restaurant is primarily Italian food focused, which is fine. We were seated right away, but other than bribing out the food, the servers just stood around. What's very quirky and annoying is that you not only have to go through a QR code to see the menu but also need to sign up and join 'OTG' . So, you need to set up an account to order and pay! Ridiculous. A waitperson did come over and asked if we were having a problem and had a tablet, so there must be other ways to order (?) We were too deep into the sign up at that point. When the food arrived we were more than pleased. The quality was excellent, and the portions were quite adequate. We shared a salad, and I had a rigatoni that was delicious. Fresh pasta and well dressed with sauce. My other half had a chicken parmesan sandwich. We had a glass of wine, Merlot, at $15. each. The entire bill came to $110. High, yet satisfying for the quality. The use good quality plates and glassware.

    Julie seated us right away. You scan the bar code and order with your credit card. Our water was brought over right away. The calamari was better than most restaurants that I have had it before. Not oily and the spicy peppers were a nice addition. The margarita pizza was fair. Not bad, not amazing. Could have been hotter with the addition of spices to flavor it up. We did finish it, so what does that tell you. There are many restaurants in this area. Julie had us in and out. Hope you have a good experience too.

    Pretty basic Italian eatery. Service is good. Wines are severely overpriced ($27 a glass, seriously?) and the glass I got was not good (as in they have kept the bottle open for too long and the wine was not fresh). Their food is ok but you cannot even get a side salad. Very inflexible for the high price you pay. Would not recommend unless (like me) you have a very long layover at JFK and nothing else to do. My fork was metal, my knife was plastic.... I guess because it was the airport?

    When we first sat down, we were the only customers so we thought we would be served relatively fast. Service was very slow. The pizza needed more sauce and more cheese. It took a long time to be served a thin pizza and after finishing the pizza, we had to wait another 20 minutes for the chicken parm sandwich.

    Spaghetti, burrata with mostarda and grilled bread (the burrata was bigger than it actually appears here cuz of the angle I took this at).

    My partner and I were delayed on a flight with a mechanical issue and went here when we were told at Caribbean Kitchen that they weren't open yet. A very friendly waiter of Asian descent seated us with the advice that there was still 5 minutes to go before the kitchen was open. My partner is a big pasta fan, and I just wanted to sit down somewhere that wasn't a bar and eat something that wasn't out of a plastic box. She ordered some type of spaghetti: She was deciding between three pastas with tomato sauce. I got the burrata with mostarda and grilled bread--whatever didn't sound too carb-y that wasn't a salad. Her plate came first (I'd have preferred our plates come out at the same time, but we weren't given the option). My burrata was nice and luscious, and my partner liked her spaghetti. We got metal forks but the knives were plastic: I'd have preferred being asked whether we needed the latter in the first place, they are a real waste. Maybe serve metal ones in plastic sleeves if you're trying to cut down on dishwashing labor? My waiter took back our straws with gratitude when we gave them back as we left: These should definitely be optional at this point in history. Sitting down and being fed away from fellow passengers, having the time to enjoy ourselves can't be underestimated. This may turn into our default go-to when we're at Terminal 5 in JFK: Deep Blue Sushi I'm sure is decent, but it makes no sense to serve raw tuna and cooked shrimp when they're all overfished at this point.

    It honestly kind of sucks to be giving this place a low rating because Aeronuova used to be my go-to for food in Terminal 5 at JFK. It's been probably 2 years since I was last here and it feels like things have gone downhill in terms of how they run this place. My biggest problem is how it takes 30mins to crank out a pretty average breakfast at an airport restaurant. This place definitely won't work for those trying to catch a flight in an hour or so with how slow things go here. Service was actually pretty friendly but the sad part is how management can pretty much make one lady work the entire front staff service, from seating to serving to getting the bill and to cleaning tables... like I never saw one other person doing the job. Kudos to the lady juggling all those things but management needs to just hire more people. And it's not like they aren't getting business... in fact they had to turn away people from how backed up they were in flipping tables. Food-wise, it also was very average. This was my first time trying their breakfast, which would be a hard pass for me in the future here. Can't comment on the lunch dishes, which I've enjoyed in the past but don't know if that's also gone downhill since. I never want to settle for a mediocre to-go sandwich but that honestly would be a better pick than trying to eat here if you're in a hurry. I think I'll most likely skip this place the next time I'm back in T5 and try to find a better option.

We asked for water and was given a glass with no ice. When we asked for a refill, the waitress put a bottle on the table with a $7 price tag on it. When we asked for a refill, she promised (twice) but never filled the glasses. I kinda felt like she thought if she waited us out, we would give up and drink the $7 tepid water. I eventually went to the bar and asked the bartender for a glass. She agreed and brought us a refill. And WHILE we are still seated at the table, the bartender/waitress starts sloshing a RAG on the table...yes, the SAME table we are presently sitting at! People say New Yorkers are rude. And that isn't a fair assumption, but they live up to that stereotype at this spot. For $13 you can go right next door and get a slice of pizza, a bag of Doritos and a Pepsi.

Now you can conveniently order a burger in no time from a location in the airport. You place your food order from a touch screen kiosk. You can also watch your order being prepared by employees in the kitchen. This location has the typical Shake Shack vibe and flair. I ordered the single-patty ShackBurger, a made-to-order quarter pound patty of 100% Angus beef with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and ShackSauce on a toasted potato bun. The burger really hit the spot before a flight. The burger was juicy, well-seasoned, and made fresh, with the perfect balance of sauce, cheese, and bun. Simple, classic, and satisfying. For an airport location, the quality held up surprisingly well. Service was a bit slow but everything came out hot and neatly put together. Prices are a bit higher at the airport, but the consistency and flavor made it worth it. Solid choice if you're craving a reliable burger at JFK and want something familiar and filling before takeoff.

Finally, my name was called, and I got my fries and some napkins. I sat I a lounge chair right across from Shake Shack, and.....the fries were cold. Terrible, awful, crushing disappointment. I so rarely eat fries these days. I was anticipating hot, golden, lovely crispy fries. I got lukewarm semi-limp mostly underdone fries. A sad, sad feeling. There's no seating at Shake Shack, but you can sit at a gate or take your food with you. Employees were working very hard, so it's strange that my fries were cold.
