I can keep eating the calamari nonstop; my toddler loves their pasta and pizza
Love the chicken! Everything is delicious! Highly recommend !
Everything is delicious. Great place. Catering is awesome.
My go-to Italian restaurant in the neighborhood. I love their pistachio martini(smooth&creamy) & tiramisu(moist). My friend and I would always get the seafood soup dish wrapped in side a piece of bread, called Cacciucco. It feels very light and healthy! And the taste is so good. You can choose portion for 1 or 2 people.
Food is delicious and always fresh. We love the Salmon pasta and all the pizzas. The place is always welcoming and easy going-it is one of our favourites in Forest Hills.Highly recommended..
Out of the itailian spots in forest hills, I would say Il Poeta and Tuscan are the better ones. The food is pretty decent and the aesthetics of the place is not bad. The owners seem OK and the prices are reasonable. I just wish the staff smiled a bit more and would do a better job of making ALL their returning customers feel welcomed. I use to go more often but after a while I just felt unwelcomed by the older Latino waiter and the younger female waitress. They are cordial but don’t really make attempts to connect with you or are selective on who they connect with. I don’t have this problem at any of the other restaurants that are happy to take my money. In general, from all levels of the wait staff to the busboy, they just seem unhappy here versus Il poeta where they at least don’t seem unhappy and the vibe is more relaxed in my opinion. Making effort to remember returning customers names, remembering small details or asking them about themselves goes a long way.
Pizza was great. Cacio e pepe was almost inedible, have done it way better at home.
