It was very oily when re - air fried - $5 grandma slice - slice is very small and thin for price. Solid taste but not big enough to warrant $5. $4-$4.25 is better Underwhelmed with my 1st time at umbertos. Known for being the first ever grandma slice maker, I found the slice too thin for the price point. Overall, the prices are high for all the items. The taste was average as well. The plus was the dine in experience where you get a bread basket of French bread and garlic knots. I dont think I will be coming back unfortunately.

Came back to Luigi's after visiting the maze at the Queens Farm again. I was here last year, so…read morethis time I wanted to try something different from the restaurant. Last time, they didn't have anymore of the Colossal Meatball so I had to try it this time around. I can see why they call it Colossal. It's huge. Definitely a great item to share especially with the complimentary bread basket. For my entree, I ordered the Chicken Parm, which was really amazing. It came with Spaghetti, making it a hearty meal. Definitely a classic Italian comfort food dish. We wanted to order the Hand cut Gnocchi Bolognese which has tomato, warmest, and three meat ragu in it. But they didn't serve it that night. So, instead we ordered one of the wood fired pizzas such as the Diavola which had pepperoni, tomato, pecorino, and fresh mozzarella, and Mike's hot honey. It sounded really good but it was one big disappointment. It was the sauce as it was too sweet. It wasn't as great as the other dishes they had. I wouldn't order this again or any of their other pizzas. Overall, I'd come back to try their other pasta dishes but not their pizza pies.

The vegetables were better. I had seafood lasagna another day. The sauce was orange, not pink as it indicated on the menu, and was too thick. The carrots could have been chopped finer and perhaps cooked longer, and the other vegetables could have been cooked longer as well. There could have been more lobster. The eggplant parmigiana was good, although a bit bland. The broccoli is done well. The red pepper flake flask was sticky. The tiramisu was fresh and good with ample cinnamon, a good difference from French desserts. The French tend to like cinnamon in their meat dishes.

I had to change plans quickly as I looked at the specials they had going on that day wow! We decided to go with the duck and the monkfish main course entrees instead. Life is about making the right choices and this was the best decision I made that day lol! The duck was cooked to perfection soft on the inside crispy on the outside wow! I really like how juicy and fatty the duck was very succulent and delicious yummy. I especially liked the wine sauce on top among taste sweet with a slight tart to it juts the right balance I was impressed. Definitely one of the best duck dishes I've ever had it's a special so I'm not sure if it will be available when you decide to go call ahead would be my suggestion and your best bet. Laslty the side with butter squash was also a delight to eat and treat! Second course was the monkfish which was great as well. It had a slightly Smokey flavor to my pallet and a slight crunch on the outside maybe it was torched or seared not sure. Whatever the case it was a great touch to the dish very tasty and juicy as well. I love the sauce and the sides were great mashed potatoes with broccoli yummy! I highly recommend this place for brunch, lunch, or dinner take your pick. They will not disappoint you at all that's for sure. I'm not sure how this place is in the evening as I've only gone during the day. I hope the chef gets to read this and know his work is appreciated and noticed! The staff and waiters are very accommodating and knowledgeable about the entrees and food in general. Great service and energy I will come again and repeat whenever possible. I liken the music they play in the background it's not too loud and always sets a great tone for the place. The windows bring in great light and the decor is tasteful and elegant gives a bistro vibe to me personally. You might think differently let us know anyway. Run don't walk to visit this fine establishment whenever you're in the mood for Italian or seafood or a plain old good burger enjoy.

There is one bathroom on the ground level and one more downstairs but it was out of order. You get complimentary bread with olive oil which is nice, although the packaging for the olive oil isn't convenient since it's a stopped and gets messy when you take it off. I liked the calamari as well as both entrees I tried -- the Brooklyn chicken parm and the clam linguine. The chicken parm had hot honey which tasted sooo good. The portions were also big, so all of us took home leftovers. Where the service fell short is we only had three glasses instead of four, and our server only refilled our water glasses once (when we asked) and didn't come back to refill for the rest of the meal. There was also a hair in the bread (wasn't ours since we saw it when it was placed on the table).

I really tried to give this restaurant a fair chance, but unfortunately the food was disappointing…read moreon both visits within the same week. The first time, I ordered the fried calamari with red pepper sauce for $24. There was far more breading than actual calamari, and the dish was severely lacking in seasoning. It honestly made me wonder if anyone in the kitchen had heard of salt and pepper. After I called to explain my experience, the staff acknowledged that they had received similar complaints about their takeout calamari and invited me back so they could make it right. Today, I stopped in and ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza with sausage and extra cheese. Unfortunately, the experience was no better. The pizza wasn't even heated enough to melt the cheese. The sausage appeared undercooked, wasn't sliced properly, and was served in large chunks. I work on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the city, where a comparable slice costs about $6. Here, I paid $8 for a slice that was bland and lacked flavor. If you're considering dining here, I would recommend spending your hard-earned money elsewhere. Based on my experiences, the food was overpriced, poorly prepared, and simply not worth it.

The desserts were excellent, and we tried dishes we normally wouldn't have ordered--they were the bomb. Service was on point again, the food was tasty, and we left absolutely stuffed. The garlic bread was delicious, and I highly recommend the penne alla vodka. I'm very picky, but I got the skirt steak and it was so good. We can't wait to come back!

My husband got the veal which was so yummy. The portion is very large and comes with a yummy cheesy truffle rice. I got the endless pasta. There were three kids of pasta, it was ok but I probably wouldn't get that again. There was one that was kind of spicy and not my cup of tea. This place is a pricey too so it's ok for special occasions.

Since no one was manning the pizza, I ordered by the main register, who then summoned a young boy. I asked for the slice to be well done. My slice arrived warm at best, oily (see pic), and the crust was not firm and crispy. It was extremely mild tasting. The knots were disappointing, looked better than they tasted. They were cold, doughy and dry, without much garlic flavor. Always happy to see a new local place. Food 2.5 stars Service 3 stars Ambience 3 stars (it's a deli that serves pizza)
