Staff was wonderful and a gem in LIC. Pizza was very nice. Closer to a Roman style with thin crunchy crust. The steak was perfect and potatoes were delicious. Deserts were fresh especially the tiramisu. Definitely would go back.

Our first time here and the staff was more than accommodating, we ordered things that were not even offered on the menu! Food was top notch and we were hungry after a long day of travel and shopping! Thank you so much for an amazing meal and over the top service!
P.S….. we made it to Target!😜

This is the best place in New York☀️My absolute favorite. It's so cozy and welcoming. You're greeted as if you're a family member, which creates such a warm atmosphere🪴The interior with vintage details and a fireplace is simply enchanting: soft lighting, warm tones, and friendly staff create an atmosphere of comfort and hospitality✨The menu delighted with a variety of dishes, the taste of each of which transports you to Italy. Fresh ingredients and homemade family recipes, which give the dishes a unique flavor, were particularly memorable. The portions were exceptionally generous. And the tastiest ice cream there! Thank you so much to those involved in creating such an amazing place🙏It's a place you want to return to again and again, like visiting old good friends ♥️

This is our 2nd time coming here and it didn't fall short of excellent. The food is fresh and seasoned nicely, the staff are so friendly and homemade pasta how could you go wrong. A nice place to celebrate an anniversary especially with the outdoor patio. Our new spot even if its a 45 min drive away. We'll worth it.

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Long Island City. Loved the design. I got the salmon which was great and the daily soup. Pistachio ice cream was incredible. Can’t wait to go back and try other things on the menu.
Jason Brewer
Food and service was great and really well priced.
A 4 star review because there was a 2% service charge for credit cards on the bill that I did not see called out on the menu. Maybe I missed it but still unexpected.
The tip suggestions also go off the total bill with tax included instead of just the subtotal of what we ordered. That just rubs me the wrong way.

This is the most delicious Italian food. You think you are dining in Italy. The sophisticated food fabulous service. No rush just like being in Italy in every turn of the space. Great foccocia to die for… pizza and homemade pasta! 5 Stars

I have been going for years. I still find the food and the service to be excellent . Remains on my favorites' list , where some places for fallen off the list Manducatis Rustica has remained. Its cozy and charming worth a visit.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in LIC. There’s a bar up front and table seating for the restaurant in the back along with a backyard outdoor space that’s open during the warmer months. They serve up classic Italian dishes with a classy decor. We had the grilled octopus, grilled branzino, and rigatoni with meatballs. Everything was delicious and the service was very friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back here often and I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area.
Bon appetit!

Honestly, what a perfect spot.
Hospitality was very warm - Gianna was a delight, and the wider team were sweet and effective.
Food was consistently excellent. Burrata with pancetta crisp and tomatoes was great. Formaggi al tartufo a delightful addition. Pizza had well flavoured dough and good chew, and can you ever go wrong with spicy sausage and mike's hot honey? Bolognese was flavoursome and had perfectly al dente pasta. Gnocchi was legitimately some of the best I've had - toe to toe with any of the best I've eaten in Italy itself. God bless whoever is stuck hand stuffing with ricotta, but totally worth it. Home made rum and raisin gelato was a welcome way to cap it off.
Wine list broad and well judged - a lot of great value in the 50-80 mark, and well priced choices in the 150-250 range. Something for everyone, including some sensibly priced top tier producers.
Fleetwood mac and Sinatra on the playlist. Just the right feel for a relaxed Sunday evening meal.
Will most certainly head back in the future, and interested to try the original restaurant too.
All in, 3 courses with very good wine and a good tip, ~120 bucks. You could certainly have a great meal here for less too.

I’ve eaten here plenty of times, usually for a special occasion or get together with friends or family. This time it was to being my homesick friend who was born and raised in the little Italy of the Bronx to eat some authentic Italian food on her visit from San Diego. She was so impressed. We ordered a salad, a soupa de zuppa, lobster ravioli in a sage butter and margarita pizza, her favorite… an apple spritzer and a mezcal Old fashion and a tiramisu. Everything taste amazing. The servers were kind and the atmosphere was beautiful. Of course I’ll be eating here again.

Manducatis is a great Italian spot in Long Island City. It’s located on a nice strip on Vernon Blvd that is nice to walk up and down. It’s probably the last good spot north on Vernon Blvd.
It’s unique in that it has a walk in sit down area, a bar area, and a nice fine dining area. Not many places have this but it works very well.
You can order many different types of Italian cuisine and let me tell you. It comes out good. The pasta is done al dente. The sauces are great.
The octopus is actually better than any Greek spot I have had in Astoria. That says a lot. You should get it every time.
The Burrata is to die for. Warm bread and cheese. The mozzarella cheese just gushes when cut.

Just hosted an 80th birthday party here and man, I cannot speak more highly of the entire experience and team here. Start to finish, everything was fantastic. Lovely custom-planning the menu with Gianna (and they did a great job accommodating vegans and vegetarians), to flawless execution. The event was supposed to be in the (very charming) backyard but there was a total downpour, so they set us up in the (kinda fun, old world charm) inside room. When you’re throwing a party for 30-40 people, to have the service be able both anticipate nearly every need and be responsive to new ones as they arose was just amazing. So accommodating, so easy to work with, and so friendly. And the food! I’ve of course been here before but honestly it was better than I expected — and plentiful (the heaps of fresh scallion on the sea bass was simple but stupendous). Appetizers, salads, meat & cheese board, pasta, mains, and dessert for quite a reasonable price. Also, I don’t know how they pulled a 12/10 carrot cake outta that kitchen, but they did. The experience was truly excellent. Couldn’t recommend highly enough, especially for a gathering / party.

Great service and great atmosphere. Pizza was great. Ribeye was amazing and so big I took some home. Gelato was amazing. 10/10 recommend
Lindsay Maurer
Ashling is my favorite bartender! She is the best company and so entertaining. Her cocktails are excellent and service is even better. Hands down recommend stopping for an espresso martini from her Wednesday Thursday or Sunday!

We had my mother in laws 80th birthday here. Everything was amazing. Guests were super happy, service was excellent, private atmosphere and food was delicious!! Thank you so much for everything!!

Leave Manhattan and head to Long Island City (Queens) and take the cannolis! This is a classic Italian treat! Forget the menu and let chef and owner “Momma G” just cook. From the calamari to the prosciutto to the gnocchi to the Bolognese sauce to the ravioli to the gelato...all you will say is “momma Mia” and “wow”!!! And “yes”, the service is as great as the food!
Diana Corzine
Have been to this location multiple times now, always a wonderful experience! The owner is so humble and kind; on Valentine’s Day, we went home with a free bottle of gifted Prosecco! Desert is amazing; the pizza is divine. Highly recommend and the prices are very reasonable for the NYC area.

Racquel I. Escobar
It's always a treat having a meal at Manducatis. If you want authentic homemade Italian food (juicy meat, fresh pasta all the time & homey comfortable feeling) this is the place to be! Don't forget the super yummy GELATO-in different flavors!!!
Thomas Frail

Cucina casalinga ed ospitalità, sentirsi in Italia a Long Island City. La Signora Gianna è una vera donna italiana, intraprendente ed appassionata al proprio lavoro. Pizza e dolci fatti da lei sono veramente Buoni!
