I was on business in Queens and someone recommended that we should go there. When we arrived it looked like it was closed, but it was open. A great family owned Italian (Napoli) restaurant since 1968!
No menu, the items are listed in the wall in the back. Our waiter from Albania (worked there for 10 years, as great). He recommended baked clams (excellent) and stuffed mushrooms (really good). We ordered Veal Marsala and Veal Parmgiana – both fantastic. No hard liquor available, but good Italian Wine.
I had a Tartufo (Italian Coffee like rocket fuel).
Overall a great place for families with large portions. We enjoyed it.

This is a late review, but I celebrated my birthday here and it was absolutely worth sharing. Everything was excellent from start to finish. The baked clams were beyond amazing—hands down the best baked clams I’ve ever had.
The food overall was delicious, the portions were very generous (one serving can easily be shared by two to three people), and everything tasted fresh and well prepared. The wine selection was also great and paired perfectly with our meal.
The atmosphere was welcoming and perfect for celebrating with family and friends. If you’re looking for a place with great food, large portions, and a wonderful dining experience, this is definitely the spot. Highly recommend!

A lovely, warm family restaurant.
The food is always fantastic, the service is excellent, and the attention to detail is impressive — especially the clean, hot plates for every dish.
The atmosphere feels cozy and relaxed, and the house red wine is light and smooth, almost like juice.
A place we truly enjoy coming back to.

Worth the hype. Just exceptional family style Italian American food. We got the rigatoni with sausage and broccoli rabe, veal don peppe, stuffed artichoke, tiramisu, and cannoli. 10 out of 10. Everything was perfectly cooked and fresh. The portions are enormous. Make the trip.

A friend from work who lived in the area wanted to thank me for helping him out & took me here for dinner. (7pm on a Friday in July) I was able to find a parking space around the corner but could tell parking could be difficult in the area. This place must get pretty busy, they had a bunch of benches outside in a covered space for those waiting for a table. Luckily there was no wait when we arrived & were shown to a table immediately. The restaurant has jockey jackets & pictures of race horses everywhere. I guess because it’s close to a race track. We had the mozzarella and roasted peppers with tomato & baked clams as an appetizer. Then spaghetti with bolognese sauce and chicken parmigiana for the main. The waiter was very polite and professional. The food was pretty pretty good as well. The bill came to $165 including a bottle of house red. ($200 with tip) Not the a bad place to have dinner if your in the area.

Fantastic old school spot. I like the menu on the wall. Service was very good, our server made recommendations and we got a great meal. Still ended up with leftovers despite tried my hardest not to fill up on bread haha. The shrimp Luciano was fantastic, my bf was sopping up the sauce with bread. We didn’t get it as a pasta because we got the white clam but boy do I wish we had, so good! 26 dollars for the house wine so you can know. Did annoy me that there no prices for that. The baked clams were very good but I prefer traditional clams in wine sauce over baked but if you like baked you’ll love. The white clam sauce was so so good. Must order. The veal eggplant was also quite good. First time trying and I enjoyed, I would probably do chicken or beef next time though, so much looks good. Now I have to knock a star if a place is cash only in 2025. I only had 200 cash and I felt bad I couldn’t tip our server more. He was great. Don’t know if this is on purpose but there were only male servers. Can’t wait to return and the location is so convenient for me for once ! MUST DROP A STAR IF YOURE CASH ONLY IN 2025

Real Italian family style food. Must have the linguine with white clam sauce and the Veal Don Peppe. The house red wine is great.

Hidden gem, everything on this menu is amazing, the clams and linguini to die for. The calamari was excellent, the rigatoni was insane. Chicken was really good too. You cannot go wrong with ordering anything from them. Only issue is cash only but totally worth it!

Been dining here since the early 80s. And it’s still special. One big room, many personable servers. No cocktails. Wine choices: red or white. And the bottle arrive with no cork and no label. But delicious. Baked clams are the best I have ever tasted. Always. We had planned on ordering salad and pasta, but the server said we were making a mistake. The fillet of sole was a rare ‘special,’ and the Portobello mushrooms were delicious. That we could have pasta anytime. And because he made sense we ordered the fillet of sole and mushrooms and they were, indeed, delicious. Cash only. Noisy room. Happy people. Accessible ♿️. You don’t know what you’re missing.
