Dani’s is one favorite place to have dinner at on Staten Island. Great food, great service and a for sure a date spot. You can’t go wrong with any food here, and they’re pretty big portions. My go-to is the chicken parm or chicken florentine, all pasta are great and if I had to pick one dessert for the rest of my life I would have their homemade apple crumb cheesecake. Highly recommend if you haven’t been here

I recently dined at Dannie’s Italian Bistro in Staten Island and had a wonderful experience! The food was delicious and authentic, with generous portions and flavorful dishes. The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive waitstaff who made sure our needs were met.
The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, with only about 10 tables, making it a great spot for a date night or special occasion. The prices were a bit on the higher side, but the quality of the food and service made it well worth it.
Overall, I would highly recommend Dannie’s Italian Bistro to anyone looking for a great Italian meal in Staten Island. Be sure to make a reservation, as the small size of the restaurant means tables can fill up quickly!

Dani’s Italian Bistro a small family owned restaurant restaurant in Staten Island. The best of restaurants is when the owner is the chef those are my favorite to dine at. This restaurant also had a really nice intimate atmosphere, and it’s the perfect date spot or just a great place if your looking for a delicious authentic Italian meal. I had the Mozzarella en Carrozza appetizer which was good, but I prefer mine with less breading. The sauce it came with was excellent though, and I scooped whatever was left with my spoon! I ordered one of the dinner specials of the night which was the striped bass over broccoli rabe risotto in a marinara sauce. I was quite impressed with that dish! They gave such a generous piece of striped bass here! It was absolutely delicious! The marinara sauce was to die for, and the fish was cooked to perfection! I loved that it came over such a delicious broccoli rabe risotto as well! You can tell the chef put a lot of love in that dish! They had a great selection of house made desserts here, and I ended up choosing the apple crumb cheesecake. It was so good! When I received my bill I was surprised how low the prices were too which was another plus! The generous piece of striped bass I was served was only $29! Just to note I’ve been to the restaurant across the street before DeLuca’s, and Dani’s Italian Bistro blew them away with their food, reasonable pricing, service and atmosphere! They also had a nice selection of filet mignons on their menu for only $31 as well. Service was excellent, and the owners are warm and welcoming. I highly recommend dining here!

Appreciate the small antipasto plate for each table. Ordered from the daily special- a nice portion of Halibut on artichoke risotto. Dish was tasty but visually bland (fish and rice same color) and i didnt see/taste artichoke but rice was still good. Needed a green vegtable, two or three asparagus across the top or some broccoli or green zucchini slices on the side would have really helped balance the plate. Veal Saltimbocca (hubby choice from menu) was just okay…plenty of fresh spinach but the prosciutto was too thick and difficult to cut through (not sure if it needed the hardboiled egg across the top..?). For appetizer, Clams casino very tasty and yummy and would order again. Place has loyal customers and a friendly/cozy vibe. Will visit again for sure.
