Five Star Restaurant
The best Italian Restaurant in Queens. Looks like a hole in the wall from the outside, but once you enter, the ambiance is wonderful. The small dining room setting with the bar to the right makes you feel as though you're in someone's home. Just when you thought this was the entire restaurant, the waiter leads you toward the back where there is plenty of room to sit (you're not on top of people like at Cono's). The atmosphere is warm and pretty...but the best part: THE FOOD!!
It is simply outstanding. I highly recommend Manducatti's.    [08 Apr 2002 15:45:44]

25 years of consistently fine food
My family started eating at Manducati's in the early 1980s. People from Manhattan didn't know it then. It was our place and it was good. Now, the cast from the Soprano's competes for my favorite table. Oh, well, nothing stays the same. Except for Chef Ida's superlative cuisine. The price is all too reasonable--just don't tell owner Vincenzo I said so. You won't regret a visit.    [29 Oct 2004 19:10:45]

They Make You Feel Like Home
I found this place by accident the days following 9/11. I got off at the wrong train station and went in for drink. Now we go once a month or when friends are in from out of town. The food is wonderful and the staff is like family even if it is your first time.    [29 Dec 2005 19:14:26]

A FEELING OF BEING IN NAPLES
I grew up in an Italian family where my mother made everything from scratch. The pasta, sauce and sausages and so on. I was spoiled by this. I could not get that in any Italian restaurant. Until I ate at Manducati's. Dining here felt like I was back home in my mother’s house. You can tell everything here is freshly made. The food is incredible. The staff there treats you like your part of the family. Simply incredible.    [11 Jan 2006 09:42:30]
