A good neighborhood pizzeria on Staten Island. The crust was crispy, not too thick, and the sauce…read morewas well balanced. The calamari appetizer was very chewy but otherwise it's a decent option of you're in the area

Crabby Jimmy's bread was amazing $14 for garlic bread topped with crabmeat and Parmesan cheese was…read moreaverage price but omg soooo delicious, the bread perfectly crispy and flavored with decent amount of toppings of seafood and cheese. The pizza was also huge size unlike other pizzas that are smaller for same size around $20ish. My favorite isn't Sicilian though (it was my friends) hence the lower rating but I'm sure their other thinner crust pizzas were amazing as my friend loved this pizza. The appetizer of crabby Jimmy's bread definitely was the highlight and would come here again solely for that amazing app. Tables weren't the cleanest but decent sports bar/restaurant seating area and chill nighttime vibe

This was a nice detour and I found a great sandwich shop at Filoncino…read more I was in Jersey last week and I want to grab a lunch before heading back to New York. I found Filoncino (thanks Yelp) in Staten Island right off the exit. I pulled in and saw Filoncino has plenty of available parking. Once inside, I see the restaurant is actually split with 1/2 sit down wait service and 1/2 take out with a few tables to eat your sandwich. The menu choices were pretty substantial, I was going for a hot chicken cutlet but the imported prosciutto sandwich was calling my name. This sandwich was a true banger: fresh mutz, peppers and prosciutto on freshly made Italian bread. Trust me, you're not getting this caliber of sandwich in Boca Raton! This a tried and true New York Italian sandwich. Filoncino, it was a pleasure to dine at your restaurant.

Absolutely spectacular! Artisan everything! The absolute best bread, the best fresh made to order…read moresandwiches, hell they even have pizza that amazing! Super clean, great separation of counter and dining room. Very attentive staff. Lots of specialties every day! It's obvious that this is a "Sister business" to "Royal Crown"! Hands down, the best sandwich on Staten Island! I DO NOT CARE if you disagree! This is the spot! Highly recommended!!!

Love going to Cast Iron Pot, but was getting tired of hauling out to the Signature past Fort Lee…read more So I was pleasantly surprised to find one closer to me in SI! Service was prompt-- we were seated almost immediately once our whole group was gathered, and immediately began to be served. Meats came out fast. They have a 3 meat at a time limit here, but given that they're doing most of the cooking for you, it helps keep things fresh and things are coming off the grill pretty quickly anyways, so the limit does not really come at the cost of velocity of consumption (if you're that kind of AYCE eater). Service here is pretty proactive, coming by regularly and taking orders promptly. We got a mix of meats and sides throughout. Pork belly is a winner, both slabs and slices. Beef intestines were not as we remembered from other locations, but nonetheless good. Sliced beef brisket and jowl are also good cuts for folks looking for something new. Not too much of a fan of marinated meets, but I'm sure they'd live up to the same level of quality too. One huge plus about this particular chain (for which you do pay a bit of a premium in the price) is that they have pretty amazingly efficient grills and vents, such that you can largely avoid smelling like your AYCE KBBQ afterwards. Pretty uncommon, and totally forgivable when it happens, but a nice plus for this place!

Had the AYCE lunch menu with unlimited beef brisket, marinated chicken, pork belly, sides like…read morejapchae, steamed eggs, kimchi, salad, fried tofu, soups such as bean stew, crab soup, and beef broth. All were good and tasty except the bean stew was too spicy for my taste. Service was friendly but the staff has missed some orders since they rely on memory to get them out. Lunch was 33 dollars per person.

As popular as this place it is 100% worth its hype. The hostess was immediately very friendly and…read morewelcoming as soon as we walked in! You go and pick out the deserts you like from the glass and they come and bring it out to you all pretty on a plate with powdered sugar, the deserts felt cold and fresh even despite it being close to closing and our server was very attentive, kind, and excited even showing us his favourite options! Royal Crown is a Staten Island classic and totally worth the visit.

Went to this place after getting off the road all the way from Westchester with my elderly mother…read morebecause she wanted eggplant Parmesan and she had eaten from this place before when a relative was staying at a hospital rehabilitation center nearby and remembered the food being good, so we went to have some lunch. We were seated in the outdoor area, which is nice on a humid day as You can get a decent breeze. 99% of the people who were there were just enjoying their their food and socializing, We decided to sit at a table near a window for whatever reason there was a gentleman at this table who decided that it was okay for him to vape while he was sitting down instead of exiting the restaurant. Not only did he decide that it was okay to vape, he decided that it was okay to blow his vapors onto my mother's head and engulf us in his gaping experience. Instead of noticing (full time hostess in the immediate area), automatically reseating us, apologizing and telling the man that is NOT okay to vape in the restaurant I had to flag a server down and let them know that we wanted a different table. Pretty good service but I really thought that that was a gross oversight on part of the restaurant like indoor smoking is illegal in the first place and vaping really isn't any better (arguably worse depending on what scientific data you're looking at), plenty people have respiratory issues and just preference period. No one should be forced to sit anywhere where a no vaping policy isn't being enforced in 2026. Really disappointed that I can't give this place a higher than a three star rating as a result because the food is pretty good and the servers were quick and pleasant, but the smoking issue to me is a gross oversight as far as basic customer service goes. People shouldn't be made to feel like they're being weird for wanting a different table because they don't want to be surrounded by anything but oxygen, Do better folks. Tried to call and speak with a manager BEFORE leaving this review, was left on hold for close to 10 mins however manager was extremely apologetic and pretty appalled he personally stated that vaping IS against their policy and that the staff should have absolutely been enforcing that. Welp, that's what complaints are for right? Food is decent and staff is respectful but I don't know if I'd go back given that experience if I have alternative choices in the area just trying to enjoy some lunch, drama and discomfort is not necessary indoor vaping is outlawed for a reason people violating that shouldn't get to just go about their day with zero consequences while everyone else is annoyed or having their lung / cardiovascular health put at risk involuntarily. YMMV
