I ate it only because it's green and healthy for you but my other to coworker didn't . Chicken parm was basic nd couldn't even tell if the sauce was canned or made in house And the clams were overpowered by bread since they were Minnie .

We were shown the specials of the night- quite literally in this humongous tray. Everything was fresh & raw- ready to cook. I was certainly impressed! We ordered a bottle of Barolo to go with our veal dishes. I had what was called - Fillet of Veal- so delicious, came with fried zucchini & mushrooms. It was grilled like fillet mignon- one of the few pieces of veal that was not breaded. Hubby had the Veal- like Milanese- that was also served with what looked like Bruschetta. He enjoyed that very much. The atmosphere is intimate with white tablecloths & many tables. I remember there were a couple of private rooms for parties. We closed out our evening with double espressos. Service was excellent. I would be a regular if I lived here!

The restaurant was quite busy when we came in and my cousin always insists on sitting outside due to her fear of getting the covid virus again. My aunt ordered the prime rib which was a good-sized steak. My cousin ordered the salmon on a plank oven roasted on a cedar plank, glazed with maple butter & dusted with toasted fennel and broccoli rabe. My wife and I ordered the oreganata tasting (Alaskan cod, shrimp, clams & calamari. Served with spaghetti agli olio, with a lemon white wine sauce). Our portions were small, and I had to send my plate back because the food was lukewarm not hot! The food tasted very good. For dessert we had pistachio tartufo, vanilla cheesecake, tiramisu and my aunt was given a sparkling birthday cake for free. The desserts were excellent and well portioned. The outside terrace is very nice as we are on the Broad Channel causeway. The only downside was I didn't bring my jacket with me, and a strong breeze hit my back as we finished. The other downside was the restaurant allowed smoking on the terrace in designated sections which isn't good for me because of asthma, and it is taking away from the taste of my food. The service was very slow, although the staff was friendly and cordial with many old time customers coming here on a standard basis. I was thinking they may have gone fishing to get our seafood plate together! The bathrooms were clean and there is valet parking on the premises. The bill was not paid by me but by my cousin and was well over $200.00 for the four of us. It's unfortunate that my food was cold and there is nothing to make up for the slowness of the staff. When we arrived, the outside was full of people but few staff and I believe there was a party taking place in the banquet hall and either there weren't enough servers or chefs to accommodate them both for the food to take so long and be cold. The restaurant is also singled out as the "go to place" for Woodhaven events and if this is what they get...it may be time for them to change. Read less

PINKKKYYYY!!!!! That's all I have to say. Hands down the absolute best server I've ever had. It was…read morethe perfect start to a girls night. She was attentive, she payed attention to us. She had us feeling like we were the only ones she was serving. Pinky gave us her recommendations and we took her word for it. Let's say she did not disappoint neither did the food. We started with the jerk chicken tacos (spicy) but wow the flavors stood out. Everything was perfect together. Each bite excited my taste buds. Then we did the Cee wings. They were dry rub ( they do not have ranch) the Bleu cheese was good. But as pinky said we did not need any dressing she was right. The food came out hot which is ALWAYS a plus. We had 2 rounds of rum punch. I've had better rum punches but they did what they had to do. Now on to our entrees 1) Yuca Fries with Garlic butter 2) Grilled Broccoli 3 Lollipop Lamb Chops with fried Rice 4) The Heat House Special 5) Shrimp Chow Mein 6) Garlic Shrimp with Smashed Potatoes Literally from 1-6 the dishes were all amazing. They were cooked to perfection. Well seasoned. Each bite was deliverable. Serving portions are more than enough. I am honestly so happy we came here. I can't wait to come back. Pinky truly went above and beyond to make this an amazing experience. Now let's talk about the 3rd round. Pinky made me a Henny drink. This drink was everything I wanted in a glass. If you haven't tried Heat The music was LIT. The DJ built up an amazing vibe. It's a great spot for a fun night. Just to let your hair down, eat good, drink good, let some music vibe through your body, smoke hookah and unwind.

Straight to the main event. First up was the Sunday sauce... pork ribs, sausage, meatballs simmered for hours like an Italian grandmother was in the back yelling at somebody. Absolute heavyweight champion of comfort food. Then came the skirt steak with onions and mushrooms. Simple, classic, no nonsense. Olive oil, lemon, garlic, parsley. The kind of dish that reminds you sometimes men really only need steak and peace. But the MVP? The chicken parmesan. Crispy, cheesy, perfectly cooked, and strong enough to unite an entire family for 10 minutes without anybody checking their phone. Dessert wasn't optional. We demolished the house-made Italian cheesecake, tiramisu, and cannoli like we were training for the Feast of San Gennaro. Yeah, the place was loud... but if an Italian family-style restaurant is quiet, that means something's wrong. Great food, big portions, louder conversations, and memories with the people who matter most. That's the real special on the menu. #nycfoodie #italianfood #mothersday

The parking lot serves all the businesses in this collection of businesses. The entrance is gorgeous with a big Dia de Los Muertos mural as you enter. The person greeting me is very friendly. The entire restaurant is very clean and has ample seating. I was seated while I waited for my friend. I ordered a red wine sangria. It had a good amount of fruit in it, was perfectly chilled, and not too sweet. We each ordered fajitas. I ordered shrimp. I was able to sub flour tortillas for corn. The portion was so big I had enough for another meal. Everything came out together, perfectly hot, with sides of salsa and seasoned sour cream. There were also sides of rice, black beans, and cotija cheese. My friend has a non alcoholic Mojito. I also had a tamarind Jarritos soda. We each ordered a sweet. My friend had churros. They came with three flavors of dipping sauce. I ordered the house made flan. The custard was great! The caramel was burnt. I feel the prices are very reasonable considering this is NYC, and the cost of food now a days. If I am ever in the area again I will definitely return to try more of their extensive amazing menu!
