Ordered online for dinner and was ready in about 35-40 minutes for pickup. The mozzarella sticks weee amazing, unlike any I've had before. Pasta that's homemade and chicken parm this good is why this place is always busy. I just wished they were open on Sundays.

The food was SO salty - the rigatoni, mozzarella sticks, linguine, carbonara. All beyond salty. Honestly that's ok but the service was horrendous. They were rushing us so much. Cleaning our table, asking us if we need a box mid-meal, it was beyond rude. I feel bad but I will not be coming back. Felt a bit racist tbh.

As soon as you step into the shop, you're greeted by the many inviting aromas, the sight of hanging prosciutto, and a beautiful display of over 50 freshly prepared dishes, which are made daily. The sandwiches are absolutely delicious, generously portioned, and perfect for a very hungry individual like myself or for sharing. If you are ordering ready to eat items, plan ahead as this is a strictly take out establishment. You'll also find a wide variety of gourmet, ready to enjoy meals, imported cheeses and meats, and Italian pantry staples and gift items. Their selection of homemade ravioli, fresh pastas, and sauces from classic marinara to rich bolognese is unmatched. The service is top notch, and the ambiance has a warm, family feel that makes every visit feel like coming home. Durso's combines quality, tradition, and hospitality a true Italian culinary gem in Queens.

Their ravioli are outstanding, once you've had them, you'll find yourself walking right past the refrigerator case at your local supermarket. They also prepare a wide range of Italian specialties, including eggplant parmigiana and rollatini, along with lasagna and a variety of chicken and veal dishes. While I tend to gravitate toward certain favorites, the overall quality and care are evident throughout. Go early, especially around the holidays, as it can get quite busy. And don't miss the ravioli, along with their other fresh pastas like cavatelli and rigatoni. They also offer a great selection of specialty pastas in frozen form, which are well worth having on hand. Durso's is not inexpensive, but as I always say, you get what you pay for, and everything here reflects top-quality ingredients and craftsmanship.

I can't believe I just found out about this place after living only 5 minutes away for the last 6…read moreyears...... This place is gooood, local, friendly and delicious. They started us with some bread and marinara sauce and the sauce definitely opened up our appetite and had us anticipating of what's to come. Then the to-die-for appetizer came, the mushroom ricotta cheese thinging it's sooooooooooooooooooo freaking delicious!!!!! I can't explain it, you'll have to put that cheese on the baked bread, then eat it together with the mushrooms to experience what we experienced.... Soooo good!! And we also had a bowl of meatballs lol it was good~ but nothing to write home about. Now for the Pastas, I got their signature Fuzi folding noodles with veal sauce and my daughter got the rigatoni à la vodka. They were both great!!! Their pasta has great texture with a fantastic clean taste and the sauce were subtle, fragrant and delicious. Not heavy and sweet like some of those normal Italian restaurants, this is definitely an A tier restaurant hidden in a local community. I would come here at least once a week from now on. Deliciousness: Friendliness: Price: (the lower the cheaper) Cleanliness :

Lena Trattoria  has revamped their menu for the spring, and I had to stop in to try some of the new…read moredishes. There are tons of new additions, and I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest. A lot of the new items lean toward seafood, while others feature familiar proteins paired with fresh, updated sides. Kudos to the Lena's team for keeping things exciting while staying true to the vibe. Here's what I tried: Korean short ribs- Pickled Radishes, Spring Onions Jonah Crab Lettuce Wraps- Boston Lettuce, Housemade Remoulade Tartare, Chives New Mussels Dish- Pepperoncini, Chorizo, Prosecco, Saffron Tomato Broth, Sourdough Croutons Octopus- Patatas Bravas, Kalamata Olives, Salsa Verde, Paprika The short ribs were excellent. They're tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The pickled radish cuts through the richness of the marinade and really brings the dish together. A great, shareable plate that feels perfect for the warmer months. The crab lettuce wraps were incredibly light and fresh. Honestly, if I had my eyes closed, I'd think I was sitting somewhere on a beach. Bright, clean flavors along the sweet crab, perfection. The new mussels were outstanding. The chorizo and pepperoncini add depth and a little kick to that saffron tomato broth, and everything works beautifully together. The mussels were plump and perfectly cooked. I like that they still offer the classic white wine version, but this one feels like a great elevated option. The octopus was good, though not the best I've had. The flavors and accompaniments were really strong, but I personally prefer a more tender texture. It could have used a bit more time to get to that fork-tender consistency with a nice char on the outside. That said, I'd still order it again. This was just round one of trying the new menu, and I already have my next visit planned: the brick oven-roasted whole branzino and the tomahawk pork chop with roasted pepper pizzaiola sauce.

Walking in, there is a decent amount of seating and you can see them making the food fresh in front of you. I do like how small the menu is - small menu generally menus fresher food. I don't really eat dairy so just ordered the fettuccine without cheese and then chose the arrabbiata sauce. I wish they gave me a heads up about how spicy the sauce would be - my mouth was legit on fire. Food wise - I didn't love the portion sizes, I was definitely hungry after it was over and felt the texture of the pasta was softer than I'd like - probably because it's fresh. Even though I was burned this time (literally with the spice), I'd be down to come back and try another one of their sauces and even be more open minded about adding dairy since it seems like one of their specialties!

Having struck out on my last few Cubans, I was confident Tony's description of roast pork, ham, Swiss, pickle & mustard would deliver. After taking my order, one of the many guys behind the counter dipped into the back for 15 minutes, which seemed like an exceptionally long time for a sandwich. I took my sandwich to eat at home. The sandwich was pressed and toasted as a Cuban should be, and it was filled with about half a pound of ham, no roast pork. In addition, there was so much mustard on the sandwich that it upset my stomach. Had I wanted a ham and cheese panini, I would have ordered one. If the person who took my order told me they were out of pork, I would have happily changed my order.
