Reviews
A strong recommendation for the papperdeli au funghi (mushroom pasta with burrata) — absolutely excellent. Everything we ordered was flavorful and beautifully prepared. The staff is extremely nice and attentive, which makes the experience even better.
A wonderful neighborhood Italian spot. Highly recommended
First, the pasta was below expectations. The flavor of the ingredients wasn’t fully apparent. Second, one of the two staff members had a very irritating and unpleasant attitude. Everyone at our table felt as if they were being ignored when taking our order. The only thing that was notable was the coffee. This is definitely not a restaurant I’d return to. New York City is a vast city, and there are so many friendly and delicious Italian restaurants.
As Sunnyside continues to change, SoleLuna somehow manages to capture both the old charm and the new energy of the neighborhood. It’s not just a restaurant — it’s part of the community, and one of the reasons we love living here. Highly, highly recommend.
We were pleasantly surprised to be greeted with free bread, a thoughtful touch, and honestly, not bad at all. A simple start, but it set the tone for what was to come.
To begin, we had the Carpaccio di carne, a beautifully presented appetizer of thinly sliced raw filet mignon served with arugula, cherry tomatoes, and shaved Parmigiano. The flavors were bold and rich, though for my personal taste, the dish would’ve been even better without the Parmesan. The meat was already perfectly seasoned, and while the salad on top added freshness, the cheese pushed the saltiness a little too far. Still, a lovely dish with tons of character.
The grilled octopus on mashed potatoes was an absolute standout, tender, perfectly grilled, and paired with the creamiest mashed potatoes. It was both rustic and refined, and the seasoning was spot-on.
Our main course, the Trofie al pesto, was exceptional. The handmade twisted pasta had the perfect bite, and the basil pesto sauce was fresh, aromatic, and deeply flavorful. You could taste the quality in every forkful, it’s a dish that makes you close your eyes just to savor the moment.
To drink, we enjoyed the Lime Caipiriñha a bright, refreshing cocktail made with Cachaça, lime, sugar, and club soda. It was balanced and crisp, a perfect contrast to the richness of the meal.
We finished with the pistachio chocolate gelato, which was smooth, decadent, and just the right amount of sweet. The pistachio flavor really came through and paired beautifully with the dark chocolate.
Every dish (with the exception of the Parmesan-heavy carpaccio) was perfectly seasoned and flavored, showcasing the kitchen’s skill and respect for good ingredients. If you’re looking for a special night out, this place will not disappoint. We’ll definitely be back.
