    My family and I came here for Mother's Day! We had reservations for 445pm and we got there early! When I asked if it's possible to be seated early, they told us absolutely! Was very grateful for that! This is our first time here and I appreciated the decor of this establishment! Upon being seated, they had a Mother's Day pre-fixed menu which was great! We were a party of six and all agreed to do the pre-fix menu which each person can order an appetizer, entree, and dessert for one price each person! I ordered the Burrata with heirloom tomatoes as my appetizer! I really appreciated how it all came together! They also brought two bread baskets consisting of an Italian seasoned breadsticks served with olive oil on the side which was delicious! For my entree, I ordered the chicken parmigiana! The sauce and pasta that came with it was fresh and seasoning was well balanced! It was not over the top which I appreciated! The chicken had balanced flavor and not overly salty! And my dessert was the chocolate lava cake! I expected to be overly sweet! However, it was right on in terms of sweetness! It was not overbearing and enjoyed every bite of it! In regards to my family with me, they all enjoyed their meals and would love to come back and try other dishes! This place is perfect for a date night and they also have a rooftop from what I was told! I am planning and returning here and bring my girlfriend for a date night!

    We stopped by around 7pm on a Friday night. The restaurant was fairly empty but filled up about 30 mins after we were seated. We were each provided with an iPad to access the menu and were given a basket of freshly baked bread with an oil spread to start. We ordered the prosciutto and buratta pizza, the spaghetti with clams, the veal ossobucco, and the spicy brussel sprouts. I really enjoyed the free bread, which was warm and crispy on the outside. The oil spread was spiced very well and reminded me of pesto sauce. The prosciutto and buratta pizza came out first and was topped with tons of arugula. The pizza was light and crispy. Each slice was balanced and very enjoyable. I loved the oil from the free bread that we asked for more to drizzle onto the pizza. The entrees came out next along with our side of spicy brussel sprouts. I was quite disappointed with them since I expected the brussel sprouts to be roasted and crispy, but they were quite soggy and certainly not spicy at all. The spaghetti with clams had a nice presentation. The dish was briney from the clams and had very clean and simple flavors. The veal ossobucco was pretty big and was served with polenta and mushrooms. I enjoyed the flavors but the dish was too heavy for my taste. The veal was tender and had the perfect amount of fatty bits. Overall I enjoyed the pizza and the free bread the most from this meal. I hope to visit again to try another pizza.

    Italian restaurant in Bayside Queens. Service was great and the food was super tasty. I ordered the octopus and spicy Brussel sprouts. The firewood pizza was delicious!! I would recommend and absolutely returning for their happy hour :)

    Decent sized restaurant close to municipal parking. Simply decorated for the season. Was here for a Galentine's Day brunch and had a mimosa along with waffles, but really enjoyed the penne à la vodka. Would visit again to sample another dish or two to get a more tailored experience.

    Great service and food is always good. We always get a pizza to share and their drinks are also great. Recommend the Pina colada. For food we usually get the truffle pasta, pesto, and truffle burger.

    My biggest complaint was the service. Our waiter had been paying more attention to another table and rarely came to check up on us. I noticed he kept disappearing when we needed him. When he did come to our table, his breath smelled like liquor. On top of that, when it was time to get the check, he had mixed up our items with another table and told us the end total was still correct. As a party of 5, we were all so confused, but ended up paying the bill anyways. In terms of the food, the mushroom pizza was really goo d and they did make a good Aperol Spritz.

    Penne Alla Vodka with shrimp

    Food is amazing - ordered from the happy hour and dinner menu. Happy hour ended at 7, offered only in the bar area. I ordered penne alla vodka spicy with shrimp and a Caesar salad . My cousin ordered a Margherita pizza and pomodoro with a few remix . For drinks, I had white wine, he did a red sangria. I want to try the cocktails next time. Definitely a hidden gem. Can't complain about service but you have to ask about specials/happy hour.

We got the bottomless mimosas. They gave us two glasses and a picture of mimosas. Everything was really good. As an appetizer we ordered the focaccia grilled cheese bites. The vodka sauce dip was so amazing. Honestly, that was hands-down, the best thing. For our main, I ordered the Mediterranean Benedict. They made the Benedict. Perfect, I love the prosciutto with it. It does come on top of a focaccia bread. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the sweet potato fry squares. I'm not crazy about sweet potatoes and I didn't read the menu to see to get something else. Also, the Greek churro was so good with the feta whip. This is definitely a really cute place. Everyone who works there is so kind and polite. It is definitely worth a stop in for brunch.

The real star of the night was Joyce behind the bar. She's the kind of bartender who instantly makes you feel welcome, like you've been a regular for years even if it's your first visit. She knows her drinks, makes amazing recommendations, and somehow keeps the energy fun and relaxed even when the bar gets busy. You can tell she genuinely cares about people having a good experience, and that kind of service is rare. Her gin and tonic was perfectly balanced -- crisp, refreshing, and honestly one of the best I've had. And the green tea shots? Dangerous in the best way possible. Smooth, flavorful, and way too easy to keep ordering because they go down so well. Joyce makes them with consistency and a little extra flair that makes the whole experience feel special. Food-wise, I highly recommend the pork dumplings -- flavorful, perfectly cooked, and the ideal pairing with drinks. Everything just worked together: great food, great drinks, and even better hospitality. Joyce truly elevates the entire atmosphere at Firefly, turning a normal night out into something memorable. If you're going, sit at the bar, trust her recommendations, and thank me later. 10/10 experience -- I'll absolutely be back.

Incredibly silly and unprofessional. Fine they don't want to seat the group at the bar because of a baby, at least offer the happy hour at the table that we were forced to sit at. No they didn't. We left. This isn't how you treat customers. People go out to eat to relax and have a good time. There are plenty of restaurants nearby with warm ambiance and great food options. This place was not it. I bet the food is probably horrible, hence the happy hour to get people in the door. Bad staff. Bad place. Go somewhere that cares for their customers.
