I went there after hearing how great it was. Wow. The bread was stale, the salad was overpriced and empty. The pasta was well cooked, didn't have enough sauce though or flavor. I ...

Editorial review from Citysearch 10/7/2012

Two thumbs down. Over-priced. Sauce has no taste. No gluten-free menu. They offer one kind of gluten-free pasta. Ricotta was supposed to come on my pasta. Pasta came without it. Asked for Ricotta to put on top of it and then was charged for it!! Small portions. Left hungry. Never coming back and telliing everyone we know not to go.\r more

Not good, really at all. 11/6/2009

I went there after hearing how great it was. Wow. The bread was stale, the salad was overpriced and empty. The pasta was well cooked, didn't have enough sauce though or flavor. I though it was expensive and I prefer Bella Via just blocks away by far. Pros: nice server Cons: food more

It's All Good 8/12/2008

The cannoli person below should have stayed for the food. I eat here 2 times a week. The food is excellent and the service is great. The pizza ia among the best in NY. Read the NY Times review if you don't believe me. The desserts and pastas are all homemade. Try it, if ya' don't like it, go someplace else. But, I think you'll like it! Pros: Awesome Experience Cons: On street parking - Now have free valet parking! more

Really good food at a really good price 7/29/2008

The food at Manetta is delicious, the home made pasta is perfect and the service is very good. Dining room is very open and can have the feeling of a function but otherwise very good more

I heard the food was good but... 12/16/2007

we never got a chance to eat it. We were seated promptly without given menus. After 15 minutes, it became clear that we were never going to be served (the wait staff passed us by and the waitress in our area stopped by other tables but not ours). Our seats were right by the manager and maitre 'd and they pretended not to notice us. I guess they're taking their reputation for granted and decided to ignore new customers who they do not know. We're highly dissatified and do not recommend this establishment to others. Cons: terrible service and hospitality more

Excellent, Authentic Italian! 11/3/2006

Manetta's was a pleasure. The atmosphere is great for either a romantic dinner for two or a large group. Try the calamari appetizer; it is excellent. Their fresh pasta is all delicious, but nothing can beat their daily specials, which are invariably delicious! more

By far the best restaurant in the LONG ISLAND CITY area. 8/15/2006

I've been eating at this restaurant for a long time and so far every dish i have tried has been a winner. The brick oven pizza's are in a league of their own, the pasta's are authentic Italian, and the various other entree's are as good as any upscale place in Manhattan. With their home-made desserts and a newly upgraded decor, I would highly reccomend Manetta's Ristorante to anyone looking for a lovely meal to enjoy with family or friends. Pros: PIZZA'S and PASTA to die for. Lovely Manetta family. Great Prices. Cons: On the street parking. more

Chick Parms & deserts 3/17/2006

If you need to get a chicken parm hero in LIC you've got to go here!! Biggest and tastiest parms around town.....perhaps a dollar overpriced, but worth it I've had dinner here many times as well and all of the dinners have been very tasty. Pretty good wine list and the service is solid. Save some room for any of the deserts---- I usually switch off between the Italian Ricotta cheese cake and the flourless choclate cake.. Pros: Delicious Food, Casual but nice, Easy to get "To Go" Cons: Street Parking, Closed Sunday, Can be loud more
