    Veal Parmigiana Hero (pretty sure they fresh baked the bread btw)
    Jon P.

    Veal parm hero, with well seasoned amount of sauce and fresh mozzarella. About 12" and FRESH baked bread! now need to try their eggplant parm. And chicken parm.

    Don't order done here. A $29 veal dish only has 5 small pieces veal in it. The cold dish is also very small with unreasonable price.

    Very good prices for a delicious very large meal. That is happiness in his face.

    I finally found the sauce my Aunt used to serve at her Italian restaurant in Flatbush, Brooklyn in the 70s! Perfect perfect sauce! Perfect perfect meatballs. The food was piping hot and still warm even after we drove home with leftovers. The leftovers were warm! The bread on the table was so light and soft on the inside and crispy on the outside- they said it's the same dough as the pizza- the pizza looked fantastic. They had the classics plus some very interesting pies. The meatballs were so incredibly tender and the taste was so delicate- not too garlicky or salty, just perfect. Yup rated best meatball! The beer was so cold it exploded when the waiter opened it, he got me a new one just as frosty. The people that own this gem are so sweet and welcoming and the staff are so on point. Plenty of parking everywhere. My new favorite place.

    It's great to have this family-owned Italian restaurant in the neighborhood. We've been going for years and the food has always been delicious. A few of our favorites are the rustica and Margherita pizza, fried calamari, penne del sindaco and Fettuccine Piccolo Sogno. The chef and staff are all very friendly. It's a cute little place worth visiting.

    Chicken Cardinalle with Penne
    Sue R.

    A neighborhood staple that we hadn't dined at in months. It's comfortable, the service is attentive and Chef Maurizio always comes out to chat. I had the special, Chicken Cardinalle, that was perfectly prepared with prosciutto, roasted peppers and just the right amount of mozzarella and sauce. My husband ordered Frutti di Mare which was also delicious. Add a glass of their house white wine, a delightful Pinot Grigio, and Caesar Salad with Calamari Fritti appetizers and it's a meal to remember...and enjoy the leftovers the next day

    Piccolo Sogno is a quaint little Italian restaurant in the Auburndale area of Queens. We have picked up meals from her numerous times since we moved to this part of Queens earlier this year. There hasn't been a single time when the food wasn't ready on time, or wasn't piping hot, or where the staff weren't friendly and appreciative. They have been consistent in every area, and we love that about them. While they have an expansive menu, we have only ordered their pizzas to date. The pies are always light yet satisfying, tasty, and made with quality ingredients. The interior is quaint, so we look forward to a dine-in experience soon and trying out some of their tempting Italian dishes. Pricing is good for the quality and authenticity you get. Parking is available on the street, and they're not located on a busy thoroughfare or in a large strip of stores, so you generally find parking fairly close by. Come check out this family owned gem and support small businesses like this one which really need our support as we all still navigate thru COVID and it's impact on such businesses! I'm giving them 4 solid stars for now, with room to bump that up once we try out other items.

    Tre Gioielli  Margherita pizza topped with fried calamari, fried zucchini and fried Shrimp
    Mike S.

    This "little dream" tucked away in the residential streets of Auburndale was a fantastic recent discovery of mine. Of course, I feel late to the party considering it has been here for over a decade, and watching the string of customers in the know stop in on a busy Saturday afternoon. I was originally coming here because I saw they have a fantastic outdoor seating area in the back (Not in the front like most places have since COVID where you get to feel like you are eating in an open air tractor trailer). Unfortunately they had a party going on when I stopped so had to sit in their comfortable indoor section (Call ahead to check this if you want outdoor) Service was attentive, but a little "green". I suspected our server was a bit new since he wasnt familiar with the menu and he also brought out a bowl of the toppings for our pizza instead of bring it to the pizza ovens in front. Honestly this has been my experience in most places lately and it seems good help is hard to find. Even here they state they are closed Monday and Tuesday now due to lack of workers. Despite this the staff was friendly and checked in often. The food I found reasonable priced and top notch with selections not typically found in a neighborhood Italian/pizzeria spot. I was craving a pizza and the Tre Gioielli caught my eye because I don't typically find fried calamari, zucchini and shrimp on top of a pie. This worked great as an app actually - the pizza was a well made Margherita pie and there was a ton of toppings that actually tasted great on their own instead of as an incorporated slice. Grigliata di Insalata e Formaggio was awesome - I love a great grilled salad and this is one of them. The thick slab of provolone was also warmed it was really tasty (thought this was polenta for a sec haha). Linguine al Nero di Seppia Salmone Pesto is one of their pricier pasta dishes but worth it with generous amount of salmon and delicious black squid linguine. Can't wait to come back to check out the outdoor dining or for more of the delicious menu. This place hits that sweet spot between casual and upscale just enough to feel well taken care of and comfortable - so dreamy!

    We checked out this restaurant based on a neighbors recommendation, so 4 of us went. Street parking was easy and fast in a residential area. We were greeted by the owner/chef -Mauricio who made us feel very welcome . Waiters , staff and owner was very attentive to our needs . Food was delicious . We didn't walk away stuffed or brought back any leftovers, so my comment was the portions were not large and I thought for a local restaurant, the prices were a bit high. But other than that we enjoyed ourselves. Their lunch specials looked good so we might check that out next time. Check out this local place. Ciao!

    Do you serve gluten free pasta?

    Yes Penne and spaghetti

    How would they fit a party of 14?

    We did our wedding rehearsal dinner there and there were 40 people and they did a great job. Talk to them and I'm sure they will make it happen. They have the best food around.

    Has anyone ordered catering? How was it? What did you order

The atmosphere was warm, family-oriented, and comfortable. The prix fixe menu was excellent from beginning to end. For appetizers, my mom had the burrata with heirloom tomatoes, and my sister and I had Nonna's meatballs, which were delicious. My sister had the rigatoni, my mom had the salmon, and I had the short rib of beef, which melted in my mouth like butter -- that's how tender the meat was. For dessert, I had the cannoli's while my mom and sister enjoyed the chocolate lava cake. Everything was flavorful and beautifully prepared. The bathrooms were also nice and clean, which is always a plus. My family and I will definitely be coming back again -- even if it's just to stop in for a lychee martini and the grilled octopus, one of my favorite meals.

Our server was very pleasant and happened to be the only one working at the time, though with so few guests, it seemed to be all that was needed. We ordered the three-course lunch special. One set included the meatballs to start, followed by the chicken Parmesan and bomboloni for dessert. The other included a Caesar salad, tagliatelle Bolognese, and tiramisu. There was a bit of a longer-than-expected gap between the appetizer and the entrée, especially considering we were essentially the only table being served, as the other guests had already finished their meal. That was a little frustrating. Aside from that, most of the food was solid. The only real disappointment was the chicken Parmesan, which was quite overcooked. It was unfortunate given that the kitchen was only cooking for the two of us. That said, the mashed potatoes, an unusual pairing with chicken Parmesan were excellent: perfectly creamy and incredibly smooth. The tiramisu was also quite good, but the real standout was the bomboloni. I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed them, since fried doughnuts wouldn't normally be my first choice for dessert. I would definitely return.
