Party Place IDeas ? (Queens or Nassau preferred)

We're looking to throw my mom a big bday bash.
Since most of my family is in Queens, we'd like to stick to the Queens/Nassau border.

We've got picky Italian eaters, so you know the deal. Id like a place with room to socialize, not necessarily a dance floor, but that would be good too. I hate parties where you sit and eat dinner only and remain in that seat all nite .

We've been to Giardino's in Douglaston, LOVE their food, but their room is a little small. (unless they've expanded?).

Any suggestions? Not too expensive, will probably be late October.

Thanks!

How about Carasello's (lower priced) or Matteo's (mid-priced) in Howard Beach?

How about Roma View in Howard Beach, or Angelinas in Lynbrook or Roccos in East Rockaway

One of my favorite italian restaurants is Ponticellos on Bell Blvd in Bayside. Its a small restaurant but they close for private parties. Top notch food & ambiance.

Anna, I don't have any other suggestions, but just wanted to let you know that Giardino's has not expanded. I think they re did it, but it's not bigger. They still have the same 2 rooms for parties. Christine (Rob Luvs Me) and I were there for lunch today.
