Portofino's is excellent. The lobster ravioli is expensive...but will be one of the best things you'll ever eat.

Pasta Giorno is pretty good.

Dee's on Metropolitan Avenue is the best-IMO. But I think it's more Mediterranean than 'Italian.'

The Family Restaurant on Queens Boulevard in Forest Hills is INCREDIBLE.

Oooh, one of my favorites!!

Portofino is good too, but it is a little pricey.

Nick's Pizza is great but not really restaurant-y enough probably.

Coming from where you guys are, I'd pick Family. It's on QB past Ascan, at like 73rd or something. Oh, on and on the other side of the Blvd.

Another vote for Portofino's! I think it was the first restaurant I went to with my family when I moved there.

Da Silvana on Yellowstone Blvd. I think has the best tasting food by far. It is small and removed from the whole Austin St/Metropolitan Ave numbers. I have been to all of the others mentioned and their food blows away the others IMO. (I lived in FH for 27 years and my Mom still lives in FH and we go there whenever we want great Italian)
