Il Poeta - Forest Hills

It was usually a good restaurant, but this weekend when I was there the experience was pretty bad. Not the food quality but the speed, I was there for dinner around 7pm. Not all tables were filled, but from order of our food to it serve our appetizer took over an hour, I am not joking. Main dishes took another 15min after we finished our appetizer. They asked us three times for extra bread : their know their were slow. Food quality is ok, but not justify for overan hour wait. Will not return there for a long while and hope they will improve their services.

Always a great time one of our favorite date restaurants in Forest Hills. The food is incredible starting with the bean spread that comes with the bread. This evening we had three of the special appetizers, the octopus, baked clams and the burrata. We actually ordered the burrata later after we watched come out from the kitchen a few times it was my favorite. She had the beef bolognese and I had the calf liver. We both enjoyed our entrees. Always room for dessert! Can't waitto visit again.

Great service and amazing food. Used to go here every Wednesday for their 3 course diner special but that's not available anymore. The chef is friendly and polite. Calamari and mussels are the best appetizer and any pasta dish is amazing. Go to dessert is the creme Brulee

This was honestly the worst service I?ve ever experienced. Hector wouldn?t stop hounding us, gave us no time to order, food made me sick. The plates of food are also so tiny. Fish didn?t even taste cooked. Please save your money. For the love of god, don?t come here.

Incredible!!! The absolutely most delicious food I?ve ever had! The owner works with love and dedication and the food is art ??. %100 Recommended, you need to come here to have the most amazing New York/Italian dinner in your life.
