"This sleek Italian spot is long on Queens pizza cred: founders Peter and Harry Poulakakos opened up shop with the team from Nick’s Pizza, a beloved Forest Hills pie joint. Here, the chicken and veal parms are available in single and family portions, and it’s a respectable, faithful take on on the classic. The quality of the chicken is especially topnotch and very tender, and the single entree portion is filling without being obscenely huge. There’s also a location farther east on Gold Street, and a compact to-go offshoot at Rockefeller Center." - Alexandra Ilyashov
