A winner at Terminal B at LaGuardia. Ambience, food, service, everything was impeccable. Burrata melts in your mouth, Little Gem Salad is fresh with a light balsamic, salmon is cooked crisp on the outside, moist and tender on the insides--flakes as it should--and the pasta tops anything you'd imagine getting in the city, let alone an airport. We got the Fusili (sans fennel sausage) and the Pomodoro--first I taste really good olive oil, and second I savor the delicate pasta that I can tell is made in house that day. Towana and Elijah were extremely delightful and on point. And if you don't have time to sit down? You can order their food for delivery right to your gate with an app called AtYourGate! read more

This review is strictly for the breakfast experience. This small restaurant is located in the new section of the terminal B, close to the gate 46. The restaurant has look and feel of a standard watery located anywhere on the streets and not inside of the airport. Selection of breakfast items is rather limited. I had two eggs any style (scrambled) which comes with a side of bacon, potato hash and a toast. The eggs were nicely cooked. Bacon was excellent, crispy but not over, and served in a generous amount. Potato hash was a bit strange, served as a scoop - I would much prefer "home fries" or similar. Good coffee with free refill. Nice, friendly and attentive service. Recommended for breakfast. read more

Osteria Fusco - Two eggs any style (scrambled) - Bars Near Me - Queens, New York

The staff here is so rude! I wish I would have gotten the two names of the ladies. They brushed me off so rudely. She look annoyed that I wanted to place an order. Customer service at this place is down the drain. read more

Short version: Osteria Fusco does a great breakfast for an airport eatery destination. What really sets them apart is the pleasant and attentive service I received. Expect airport food prices but a good stop in the a.m. The Deets: I've recently got to use the new updated portion of LGA Terminal B in my last few trips back home to RDU, and it's very nice indeed. Getting there in time for a very early morning meal, I have gone over to Osteria Fusco for some breakfast as I wait. My experiences at Fusco are early morning breakfast trips only. Fusco is nice, clean, inviting. Each time I have sat at the bar but there is plenty of seating available. They have a limited but good breakfast menu available such as eggs any style, smoked salmon, etc. I've gone with the eggs plate scrambled well (includes bacon, scattered style thin hash brown potatoes, and toast) and it was a good breakfast meal for an airport experience, quite good actually. But what set them apart for me was the very pleasant and attentive service I have received, especially this past time. Lots of smiles, polite and attentive service that is really impressive for an airport restaurant/eatery. I enjoyed my meal and the positive service interaction, both! While the meal is for an airport restaurant price (the eggs any style selection for around $18), I do like it all in all. read more

Osteria Fusco - Eggs in Purgatory - Bars Near Me - Queens, New York

Food is good. Flavors, textures, overall execution is good. The reason I only gave it 4 stars is because the service is horrendous. Waited 6 minutes to be sat with plenty of open tables, had to ask multiple times to get drinks refilled, waited 17 minutes to get my check after asking for it twice. Sad really. Good food overshadowed by terrible service. Maybe that's why the original location closed in the Flatiron... read more

Went here to check out the burger--I thought I might as well since it's Scott Conant's new spot in the LGA remodel. The woman working the cash register was super friendly and the burger came out in about 15 minutes--which wasn't too bad. The burger itself was good, not great--and at $20, it's a lot more expensive than Shake Shack and is pretty comparable. read more

My 3rd time here. Still disappointed with their disorganization, slowness and lack of experienced management. 30 min for "eggs in purgatory" which was excellent by the way. Issues: 1) you sit, you have a menu, takes 10 min to order and get your first cup of coffee. 30 min later, eggs arrive. 2) no mention the cast iron pan is hot (I knew but the girl at the next table did not!). 3) no refill asked on my now cold coffee. COME ON GUYS....YOU CAN DO BETTER!! read more

I rate this five star for airport food. I had the Paccheri pasta. the chefs meat ragu. It was hearty and tasty. The Sangiovese blend and it was quite nice. All in all, very nice. Nite to management: it would be nice to know the wine prices. Our Sangiovese was $21 a glass. !!! read more

Osteria Fusco - a plate of pasta with meat and cheese - Bars Near Me - Queens, New York

Please put prices on your menu so that my first impression isn't annoyance... both for me having to ask what everything costs & my poor bartender having to go look up everything I want a price on. It's stupid. I've had a long day. I don't need to top it off with annoyance. PS - drinks are very expensive. $18 for a glass of Villa Maria - I can get a full bottle for $15. There's just no reason. The White Cloud was delicious- I decided on it instead. Oh - also, if you're going to design a new restaurant- can you please put outlets where everyone at the bar can access - I feel uncomfortable reaching across 4 seats with my charger.... so I'll hurry up & eat (& not have that second drink) so I can go charge my phone at the gate. The chicken paillard was delicious! Would order again! Just fix your menu & lower your drink prices and this would be a 5 star review instead of a 3. read more

Best airport restaurant I've had in a long time. Service left MUCH to be desired, but hey a great reminder that yes, yes you are in the airport. The pasta with the meat sauce was heavenly, gelato was incredible. Love love love read more

Osteria Fusco - a plate of pasta and a glass of water - Bars Near Me - Queens, New York

If "airport pasta" ain't the definition of gambling, I don't know what is. The thing about gambling, though, is sometimes it pays off... I played it safe and had a padrino sandwich, which wasn't too bad, and came with a ton of great fries. But my wife ordered the fusilli and she clearly won dinner. The pasta & sauce & sausage combined for an unexpectedly great meal. Well done, LGA. read more

Food was cold when it came out. We were served after another couple who came after us. Drinks were never refilled. I get it, it's an airport joint, but if you're charging that much for food, at least bring it out warm and refill beverages. I told them the food was cold (not just luke warm, but seriously chilly, they took it back and brought out another plate in like another 15-30 mins. Listen, I've never tasted dog food, but I imagine if I did, it would have tasted like the meatballs they brought out. We sat here with empty drinks for what felt like forever. The server is rarely around so it took another 15 mins just to get the freaking check. We finally just gave her the card to run before getting the check. Never again. Skip this place. It's overpriced Alpo. read more

Surprisingly great food at LaGuardia! I had the pork meatballs and they were very flavorful. Skirt steak was just the right size and cooked to proper temperature as requested. read more

I waited in line for ~45 minutes to eat here, since -- per usual -- every flight at LGA was delayed and no one was giving up their prime bar real estate at any of the restaurants in Terminal B. I am in shock and disbelief to report back positively about an airport meal, but the dining experience was worth the wait. The fusilli was better than most pasta dishes I've had in my neighborhood. I ordered two glasses of wine, which basically came out to the equivalent of a full bottle. 10/10 for hospitality. Unfortunately due to the wine portions, I left my coat at the table and didn't realize until I was 30,000 feet in the air. I returned to the restaurant 48 hours later to ask if they had a lost and found, and they REUNITED ME WITH MY COAT. 12/10 would get wine drunk and eat fusilli and lose my coat here again! read more

Nice people, but it took 40 minutes to get a previously frozen burger. Staff needs to be aware, if you sneeze into your hand twice you should probably wash them before serving people again. Save your time and go next door to Shake Shack. read more

KNOWN FIRE HAZARD AND TERRIBLE FOOD. They have far too many seats at the bar. The staff will ask you to allow THEM to take your luggage and place them unattended at the far corner in the restaurant near the kitchen so they can overs seat their restaurant at the expense of safety. The staff woudlnt take no for an answer so I signed my check and left. Rude staff. Unsafe environment. Food is processed junk. Not worth the hassle I experienced before my flight. read more

The dried over-priced turkey sandwich is a really of air travel. The view of the unsanitary kitchen from the ordering desk is something else and is unacceptable. read more

Osteria Fusco - View of Osteria Fusco kitchen from order counter - Bars Near Me - Queens, New York

Beyond impressed with Osteria Fusco as an airport restaurant! In comparison to the fast food chains in Terminal B, this Italian gem is a cuisine experience. Although the restaurant is really small, the pastas (the pasta pomodoro and meat ragú pasta) are really excellent. I've eaten there once and just did takeout with Sheila, who is a gem and offered fabulous customer service. She made sure we were happy with our pasta and even ensured my lactose intolerant boyfriend's pasta was made without cheese! Only complaint is the prices - classic for an airport - about $18-22/dish, but the portion sizes (especially for takeout) are so small! I wish the dining area or bar were larger too, but it's probably due to lack of kitchen space. Wish people wouldn't sit at the bar for hours with their laptop so we could actually eat at the restaurant! But great service - always love flying out of Terminal B! read more

Staff was fantastic. Food was good for an airport. Clean. Quick. Will definitely be back.

Waited 25min for 2 eggs (over easy), cardboard bacon, hash browns from a nursing home, and toast that was not toasted. Might I add that the place was empty. read more

Elijah was super. Great smile superior service. Pleasantly surprised for airport food as well. Great job. Others could learn from you.

Love the food ! We walked in looking for a small bit and ended up having a burger salad fries and wine. What a wonderful surprise. The burger was DELICIOUS and the service was great. We will keep this place in mind. read more

Seemed like a great option for lunch and I was early for my flight. They wanted to seat me at a counter spot facing the people walking by but since I had work to do asked for a table. Was told that the only table was a four top table and they wouldn't seat me by myself at a four top table. So I left. Say at the gate and watched the place. No one was ever sat at he four top table. Guess they didn't need my business that badly after all. Maybe they don't need yours either? Won't ever stop here again. read more

I had great service from Danny! He's the best bartender ever! Thanks Danny! All the best! The drinks were on point. We'll be back soon!I wish I could've given 6 stars! read more

I just happened upon Fusco Osteria in the LaGuardia airport. I did not realize Scott had restaurants in such places. As soon as I saw Burrata on an airport menu I knew it was special!. The meal was delicious! The restaurant was spotless. The waiters and waitresses were informative , well groomed and eager to share Scott's vision. They explained that the name of the restaurant is Scott's grandmother's middle name. They told us he comes to the restaurant several times a year and has every dish to assure quality. The nicest compliment was that Scott is down to earth easy to talk with. If I had to make one criticism the coffee was not hot and could have been a bit more flavorful. The experience was excellent. PS Scott. I never miss shows which you frequent I'm a true fan Sheri read more

Dirty, bad service, bad food. Terrible experience. The design from outside is beautiful and misleading.

Worst....Bloody....Ever... Conveniently located and plenty of room at the bar, most likely because the drinks are so bad... I wish I took a picture, it was comical...The description was very generous detailing all the delicious garnish of the hand shook cocktail. For a $15 bloody Mary I would expect it to be in a pint glass or something similar with the aforementioned garnish, but they came in a rocks glass with a lone lemon wedge. Was I not with my wife I would've left a dollar under the undrank drink and walked away, but my wife is a better person than I... Buyer beware read more

Overpriced for the poor service and subpar, ridiculously bland food. Has all the "looks" of a good restaurant, but I was extremely disappointed in the food and the service. For such a small place you'd think the servers would be able to fill your water at least once while you are sitting there or at least come ask how the food is. If you are looking for food in this airport, don't go here. You'll waste your time and your money. read more

Overpriced. Be very careful because they charged me a 50% tip (which of course I didn't offer) and there's no way to contact them to complain - unless you want to go back to the airport to do so... read more

Best airport food I have every eaten!! Price was fair. Taste was not at all like airport food. We sampled a few things on our layover and were very happy. Service was awesome as well. If your ever at LGA grab a bite read more

Had lunch in this pleasant, comfortable setting 2 weeks ago. Reluctant as I am allergic to garlic I walked to the bar for a conversation with a warm, smiling, had all the answers w/o having to ask or read the menu. That was Elijah who made ALL the difference and deserves to have his salary doubled as he did everything. Always upbeat and smiling as well. I had pasta with chicken that was very good and my husband enjoyed a salad with shrimp. Both dishes were accommodated to resolve the garlic issue. Server Siba was warm, smiling, professional, efficient. Staff makes the experience! I did order 2 glasses of "champagne", not Prosecco. $25 each but it was Chandon from CA not from France. We would return. The new terminal is a delight especially if you knew the old one! Setting is open and we loved interacting with the smiling staff. read more

$22.50 a glass of shit wine, no prices on menu. Tomato sauce looks like beef ravioli. Avoid this place like the plague.

I was disappointed with OF. Restaurant space is small and poorly laid out. No prices for cocktails, beer and wine are posted. For 3 draft beers and a smallish turkey bomba (sandwich), I paid $62 with tip. I think that was overly expensive for what I got. read more

I feel bad Scott has his name on this place. Ive been here a few times and the staff is so understaffed. They are overwhelmed and likely over worked so they cant execute basic things like dressing on the side or even a simple salad. Its super sad. The staff wants to please - they have good intentions which i can see - but the execution is terrible. I have no idea what happens in that kitchen and then the wait staff is too busy with 34 covers that they cant keep track. Scott - please make it better so we can actually enjoy eating here. It has real potential. They need proper training and proper staff count. read more

Love this place. Was flying out to Toronto, and decided to get a bite to eat and let me tell you. The customer service is amazing the food beyond Amazing the drinks, well what I can say, we all can get a drink before a flight. Overall I felt at home, it's very rare that you will get great food in the airport, this restaurant is definitely 5 stars, very impressed. And the staff very professional. Just want to acknowledge Heidi she is AWESOME, great personality, great conversations with her, most definitely impressed and will definitely be back read more

Horrible service cold coffee. If I could give less stars I would. Cold coffee food came out staggered. Took 45 minutes to get food.

Had a cocktail with meatballs, pesto and garlic sauce. Meatballs well below Trader Joe's frozen meatball quality (certainly saltier). Garlic bread was a sandwich roll. No price on cocktail/ wine menu meant I did not ask, but the table next to me did and was scorned for asking about the $20 per glass wine price. Sourcing elsewhere is presumably a better alternative. read more

Service, food were Excellent. Prices good. For airport hard to do better. Menu does not read as very appealing But...don't be fooled. Nice Place. read more
