Manetta's - Italian restaurant in Long Island City - 10-76 Jackson Ave, USA

Had a great last-minute New Year's Eve dinner at this gem of a restaurant! The staff went above and beyond by allowing me to customise my dish, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable, offering great value for such a fantastic experience. One of the highlights is their in-house pasta, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the Italian cuisine. The salmon penne was an absolute dream - the perfect blend of flavours and textures. The warm and welcoming atmosphere, as well as the great service from the staff, created a memorable dining experience. The manager/owner personally came to check on the customers, which was a nice touch and gave the place a family feel. I'm looking forward to my next visit to New York, and this restaurant will be on my list. Highly recommend for those seeking both a taste of authentic Italian cuisine and a genuinely enjoyable evening.

The food was delicious and the staff were efficient and friendly. The atmosphere was nice overall. I got the veal with eggplant and the dish had great flavors and texture. The calamari is also crispy and well cooked served with some hearty marinara. My one feedback is regarding the parsley on the side of the plates. I thought this made the presentation look messy. But overall an excellent restaurant for Italian food.

Best Italian spot in LIC! Really liked their wood fired pizza and their eggplant parm was very good. Great portion sizes for a great price.

This place was great!! First of all, it was so cold out tonight, entering the restaurant was immediately warm and cozy. Nice ambiance -kind of old school, classic Italian ny vibes. I got the pesto which was amazing. I ate every last bite, and I already wish I could eat it again. The fontina on top completed it 🤤🤤🤤. I also got the cocktail on special: pumpkin apple cider martini. Delicious!

Manetta's is incredible - I recently came to visit for the first time with my family and it was a great experience! Their staff are so kind + accommodating and the atmosphere is really lovely. The food is absolutely amazing - the Fettuccine Rosse was my favorite dish. I don't come to Long Island City often, but I definitely plan to return here when I'm back in the area!!

The staff couldn't have been nicer. The food came out at a nice easy pace so you could savor it. A great place to go with a group!

Absolutely love this Italian restaurant! Been here over 15 times and it never disappoints. Manetta’s continues to maintain its quality of food and service. From their mouthwatering garlic herb focaccia and their scrumptious salads that look and taste like a work of art to their home-made, delicious pastas and brick oven baked pizzas, I have tried it all. Has to be one of my favorite Italian restaurants of all time in Long Island City as well as NY as a whole. My top favorites for vegetarians like myself: - Della Casa Salad - Garlic Herbed Focaccia - Rose Fettuccine (unique and absolutely delicious) - Penne a la Vodka - Roasted Garlic Margarita Pizza

Second year in the neighborhood and I was wondering why didn’t I come here earlier? Definitely outstanding pizza and homemade pasta. Dessert was not that impressive compared to main dishes but didnt go wrong. I’ll say not everything perfect but some good points to visit. Staff were friendly, professional, providing nice services. ✨🍕Highly recommend the pizza, the dough was so chewy but crispy at the edge. Mona Lisa looked boring but trust me, it’s an impressive flavor, especially the mushrooms on the top. 🍝Gnocchi we had was absolutely good. It was soft and chewy with elegant flavor. But the sauce was a little bit dull which was the part can be improved to build up layers of taste. Although we didn’t get the original tiramisu, I guessed it would be better than the amaretto one. I felt the taste was also dull and lack of depth. And because.. I’m a cream lover so for me the mascarpone cheese layer can be thicker.
