Manducati's - Astoria

Loved the Carbonara and the Skallops!! The house wine was decent quantity to enjoy with food. And the best service ever!

We had the pleasure to eat in this family-run Italian restaurant in LIC, and let me tell you it is definitely worth the visit! We had to start the eggplants Rolletini, then for our main dishes, I had the spaghetti Carbonara, and my friend had the chicken alla parmigiana (not shown: one side of the penne pasta that comes with the chicken). For dessert we had the vanilla and chocolate tartufo. Everything was delicious, authentic cuisine. After talking to Anthony, the owner and our waiter this night we found out that his 81-year-old mother is the cook! How amazing is that! Can not wait to return to the Cerbone family restaurant for another homemade Italian meal.

LOVE THIS PLACE! Anthony and his family are the best. This is the type of restaurant you go to for an authentic white-table-cloth dinner with incredible down-to-earth service owners. Get the chicken parmigiana with capellini. You won’t regret it.

We had our first dinner here in a number of years- and realised what we were missing! The veal chop and the grilled octopus appetiser were particularly amazing. Fantastic food and great service. Definitely won't wait too long for the next visit!

Great family style dinner with a large group. Good selection of wines. Not really busy for a weekday dinner. Definitely recommended for a local LIC flavor
