Fuzi Pasta co.

I rarely leave reviews, but this place deserves one. I came here on a whim with friends one night, and we’ve been coming back ever since. From the warm, welcoming service to the consistently delicious food, it never disappoints. The cozy, home-like atmosphere makes you feel right at ease, and the owner’s friendliness makes the experience even better. Highly recommend checking it out!

Delicious pasta, great service, cozy atmosphere! I really enjoy coming here for both dine in and take out. Their pasta is always made fresh, and their dishes are flavored well with good texture. The servers are very nice and accommodating. Their restaurant is nice and cozy. But they can still host larger parties by rearranging the tables. Price is reasonable for the amount and quality of food that you get. Highly recommended!

Second time around. Talk about hidden gems that still exist. Just come to this place and you will not be disappointed. Just communicate with Franco (owner) with what you’re in the mood for and he will be more than accommodating to satisfy you. I find it very difficult for somebody not to fall in love with this establishment. Thanks, Franco and staff for another satisfying meal.❤️

Delicious Food & Amazing Atmosphere! This place is an absolute treasure! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with such a warm, homey vibe that makes you feel instantly comfortable. The service is top-notch—everyone is so kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about your experience. The food? Incredible. The penne alla vodka is easily one of the best I’ve ever had—perfectly cooked pasta, rich and creamy sauce, and bursting with flavor. You have to save room for dessert—the chocolate dessert is out of this world. Rich, decadent, and the perfect sweet ending to a great meal. One of the best parts of dining here is the owner. He personally comes around to check on customers, chats with the tables, and makes sure everyone is having a great time. It’s that kind of personal touch that makes this place so special. If you're looking for amazing food, great service, and a welcoming, cozy atmosphere—this is the spot. Can’t recommend it enough!

First time customers. The service was amazing!! Pasta dishes were incredible - full of flavor and cooked too perfection! Definitely should try out this local gem!

Hidden gem! Food was delicious! Shrimp Alfredo, Caesar salad and 11375 Mushrooms! Highly recommend!

i discovered Fuzi six months ago and have been back FIVES times and it never disappoints. This is my new replacement for Piccolo Venezia which closed. the pasta is fresh and the sauces are nuanced and aren’t too salty. Chef Franco is a gentleman and is a wonderful host. This past Sunday, placed a large order and the family was very happy and we appreciated a few free desserts on the house. The grilled veges are amazing - always order two!! I do wish they had a larger non-pasta selection but maybe these can be integrated more into the specials. the chicken Milanese is a delicious non-pasta offering but isn’t filling enough on its own- def add a starter to that.

Food is amazing, staff is so kind and welcoming. A family favorite ! It's our go to spot for any nice occasion

An absolutely delicious meal. First time Fuzi Family dinner and we will be returning. Ravoli and the Fuzi mushroom noodles were fresh and full of flavor .The hazelnut gelato was " to the moon" with creamy flavor.

The food's exceptional rigatoni spicy great fire I like Gnocchi in pesto with meatballs extra the best fantastic desserts wonderful Tiramisu homemade perfection with a biscotti a dream come true Owner operator always preparing our waiter Peter very helpful time flew by so quickly If this was in Manhattan easily $50 here for much less Quality is #1. Come here many times over the years come by say Hi and be delighted in Fresh Meadows parking is available on street small. Lot in back Take out too

Quality pasta, affordable prices, friendly service. This place has become my go to spot for pasta. When I went this past Sunday, they had this special rigatoni dish called ratoutille something. It was delicious. I hope they make that dish a regular menu item.

3.5 really. It was easy to make a reservation for 9 people the day before. Although we took up half of the restaurant, almost.. there was only 1 waitress and at times it was too much for her... she walked away to help another table in the middle of taking out orders, took our appetizer plates and cutlery, brought out the mains, but forgot replacement cutlery... it was hard to order more drinks.. little thinks like that.. Okay, food.. the charcuterie was okay... the meats felt like they could have done better if they used Costco meats... the cheeses were good, the olives were good. The focaccia was delicious. The burata was yummy. They were great about mixing up the different pastas people wanted with different sauces... the fresh pastas were all good they had a special with lamb meat balls was the only one that wasn't good. The lemon shrimp parpaddelle was the group favorite...I personally love the arrabiata sauce... it is spicy... The tiramasu looked pretty... that's a fast as i would go though...

Small neighborhood gem (reservations recommended). Steady flow of customers and friendly staff. Food was fresh and delicious!

I'm addicted to fuzi sauce. This is croatian restaurant and the owner Franco is a very kind gentleman who has visibly poured all of his energy into this outstanding menu and recipes. I couldn't pick one entree, my entire family was sharing bites of each other plates because we just had to keep trying everything! I was craving gnocchi and was beyond pleased with the cheeses and walnut in my dish. 10/10! The lemonade was house made and tasted way more refreshing and light than what you think of lemonade. The bread and fuzi sauce is just addicting. We couldn't stop eating!!! You must go!!!!! GO!!!!

Always a pleasure visiting Fuzi. My boyfriend and I wanted a nice, non-fast food bite before catching a movie and I immediately thought of Fuzi. I had their "simple pasta" --rigatoni arrabiatta with chicken--that was far from "simple." My man had their pesto tortellini special and loved how fresh and light the pesto was. For dessert, their panna cotta is so unique with the added pop rocks, and I can vouch for their tiramisu as well. This spot has a very home-y feel. The whole restaurant seats about 30 (I would say) and I am always treated like family when I'm here.

Delicious pasta, great service, cozy atmosphere! I really enjoy coming here for both dine in and take out. Their pasta is always made fresh, and their dishes are flavored well with good texture. The servers are very nice and accommodating. Their restaurant is nice and cozy. But they can still host larger parties by rearranging the tables. Price is reasonable for the amount and quality of food that you get. Highly recommended!

Amazing food. Friendly service, with heart, that makes you feel so welcome. Relaxing, casual ambiance. A real happy place. Chef-Owner Franco earns five stars every time. Not only that, but no matter how often I eat there, I can't wait to come back for more. Even my friends visiting from Europe choose to go to Fuzi Pasta Co. with me as soon as they land at JFK! No other eatery gives us such joy.

I've had difficulty finding good pasta in the area and was hoping this would be my ticket, but ultimately it was not. Let me start by saying I ordered takeout and the meal smelled incredible. Which made it all the more disappointing when it didn't taste incredible. -Little gem caesar salad: I know it's a little gem salad but I felt like it could have come a bit more mixed as a takeout option. The croutons are just four large croutons, which as a takeout option doesn't really seem to make sense. And as someone who eats a far amount of caesar salad, this was one of the thinnest caesar dressings I've had and definitely prefer it to have a bit more substance. - Ricotta cavatelli: This leaked everywhere out of the packaging so I'm not sure if it would have been more flavorful with actual sauce but by the time we ate it, it was pretty dry. The cavatelli was nothing special but without sauce, the broccoli rabe was just so bitter. I also can't imagine this dish without the optional $4.99 sausage, which should just be included not as an upcharge. - Chicken vodka sauce rigatoni: This was fine. The sauce didn't really blow me away. The pieces of chicken were a bit bigger than I would expect for a pasta dish like this. and the pasta itself was nothing notable.

What a find! Stopped in while visiting from out of the area. Hubby and I were looking for some real-deal Italian comfort food. Fuzi hit the spot. The food was fresh, hand made, and delicious. At the recommendation from locals near us, we started with the mozzarella caprese and meatballs. For main dishes we tried the spinach gnocchi and the rigatoni Alfredo-ish (as they call it). Excellent! There were also daily deals that seemed to be available. Vegetarian options are on the menu. The space is inviting, though on the smaller side. It may be tight for a wheelchair, but doable. Staff was attentive and friendly.

My friends and I made a last min reservation when we couldn't decide where to go for dinner. The restaurant is very cozy and unassuming from the outside. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. I liked the homey feel to the food. My monkfish was cooked well. My friends got pasta and mostly enjoyed their's too except for one pasta dish that was drenched in oil. Prices were very affordable too.

The food was unbelievable. Great Italian food by a Syrian chef/owner. It couldn't have been better. Our waiter was great. He was very friendly. He was Chinese but pronounced the Italian dishes better than I do, and I'm Italian, lol. It's a small place, but very warm. You walk in, and it feels like you're walking into Sunday dinner.

Great great great. Amazing food, excellent service. What a gem! Visiting from Boston. Romantic music, lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Excellent small local spot in Fresh Meadows! Quaint space where you are greeted by fresh focaccia bread and sauce for dipping. The menu consists of an array of pasta dishes. All of our dishes were prepared well, with delicious taste and flavor. Pastas were delicious and servings were plentiful. Prices are fair and pastas are a great value in comparison to other Italian restaurants. There were desserts being prepared and we opted for two: tiramisu and the bomba lava cake. Both were delicious. Our waitress was very helpful and friendly.

The food here is better than average. Service is good. I would've liked a little more flavor. Overall was good. Sauce for the pappardelle was too watery.

A local gem! Went in for Friday lunch in August. Outside seating available. We were welcomed with a smile and friendly host/waitress. The interior was very simple, clean, and reminded me of a Thai food restaraunt until you see the woman-eating-pasta artwork. Upon the waitress recommendations, we ordered - Soup of the week - Italian style egg drop soup Mushroom w/whipped cheese in honey Chicken pasta Salmon Risotto Overall everything was tasty! Especially, the mushroom app. The chicken pasta was a little underdone, and the risotto wasn't as sticky of a consistency as they usually are. Price to portion is within standard. Looking forward to returning!

What a fantastic local find! Thanks to my Yelp buddy Chun M. For the suggestion. Hand made pasta and hospitality are what makes this place so great. Jenny my server during this lunch visit, was super friendly and welcoming. She sat me down at a table for four even though we were only a party of two (how did she know we were going to order so much that we needed the second table?!) LOL that's how we roll. Complimentary bread and dipping sauce along with a cold carafe of tap water magically appeared within minutes of being seated and menus galore. There was a drink menu, daily specials menu and the usual lunch menu. My friend and I decided to hit up a few categories to make sure we covered an array of things to try. That's how we try out new spots to test dishes and hit up an array of options. Everything was delicious! And everything was al dente. Normally not the case but each pasta while different, was freshly made and each even had a different sauce. That was a pleasant surprise. The favorite was the Osso bucco and the Fuzi signature dessert!! Pretty much everything was so good and flavorful, I would recommend it all. The appetizer that was most memorable was the mushroom and cheese spread. And the vegetables. Sounds simple but it was simply the best!

An intimate space; a reservation is a must. Where the chef/owner will deliver your main course, have a conversation and share a perfect sliver of biscotti after the splendid desserts.Turn stressed around and always have desserts. This visit was different with the pre-fix menu. I look forward to returning to experience the regular menu.

I can't believe Fuzi Pasta is this hidden. A very small restaurant right off Utopia. I didn't really know what to expect but I am grateful for my friend's suggestion. There were six of us and we all got something different so we each got to sample a little of everything. It's universally agreed that the pasta's consistency was absolutely perfect. The sauces were hit or miss. I had the cacio e pepe and while it was tasty...you just can't beat a classic pepper cheese saucy. The sauce here was a bit too silky for my liking. that was pretty much my only complaint. The service was very friendly and they were very courteous. The prices were also very fair and I hope it stays that way.

I brought my stepmother and father here for Mother's Day. We took advantage of the prefix Mother's Day special for $39/pp, now that's a deal!! Everything was excellent. My parents loved their food and service was excellent. We were served by Ash, and she was very helpful and polite. Decor was great loved all the pictures on the wall and it was clean. Good job!! Keep it up!!

Great place for pasta. The service was great....thank you Jude and their food is pretty stellar. Fresh pasta, fabulous red sauce, great meatballs!! Their menu is very simple but,there is something for everyone.

Above average local pasta restaurant in the heart of Fresh Meadows. Very friendly staff, well cooked pasta dishes and quite important, reasonably priced. Small space however they make it work but end of the day, it's about the food and overall I am quite satisfied.

Excellent neighborhood gem. On a rainy weekday it was packed. Wow!! Support your local business!!

Pros: + Amazing service - staff is so friendly +Plenty of parking nearby + Amazing combinations of food + Great variety of options + My favorite dish is the figs and gorgonzola Cons: - Small interior - got the best for large large groups, but you can comfortably get a group of 6-8 people here IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC

This place is a hidden gem! Beautiful ambiance and food were delish and very authentic style. I love the fact that it's close to where I live, no need to drive far. Staff are attentive, service is good.

Great little place, tucked away off the beaten track. Delicious pasta well prepared. Save room for the desserts. Everything is prepared by someone who really understands the way flavors go together. Informal storefront. My son and I like to try new places in Queens for lunch or dinner every Friday. This was close to an appointment so we tried it. Glad we did. Terrific service, and everything was delish. Also a nice selection of Queens craft brew beers if you enjoy that. Definitely worth a trip. Not a formal candles and table cloth kind of place. Just good food very reasonably priced. The photos of kids eating pasta that adorn the walls are a nice, suitable and endearing touch.

Food I always awesome here. The Osso Bucco was amazing! I love coming here. They never disappoint.

Food was delish! First time visiting and will definitely go back again. Cute place! Very reasonably priced dishes. Attentive and friendly service. A winner all around.

Augh where do I start?! My partner and I stopped by here on a mere whim one night and boy, are we glad we decided to step in this quaint little restaurant! After visiting here for about half a year now, I'm finally leaving a review. Each time we visit, we're always satisfied with our dishes. Ingredients are sourced locally and the price is great for the quality of food. I love the 11375 Mushrooms starter, the pickled veggies, and oh my god their focaccia with the sauce! Amazing. It's just an experience every time. Chef Franco is also such a sweetheart; he always comes out to check up on everyone's meals. The wait staff is also super friendly and nice. If you're in the area, don't be shy and definitely stop in for some cozy comfort food!!

Very delicious. Super small place ticked away in the fresh meadows neighborhood of queens. I enjoyed my a bolognese sauce as well as the focaccia bread given before the meal. Everything was reasonably priced and the service was excellent. I found the chicken meal to be on the smaller side for the cost and did expect a little bit more. Felt very real authentic. I would be back again to try other things.

Never ordering from here again. This is how I received my DoorDash order , disgusting and sloppy. Please, package your food correctly. Update: It won't allow me to add a photo for some reason but if the owner of the restaurant or manager decides to reach out to me, I'd love to gladly send a picture. I ordered the rigatoni bolognese with meat sauce.

Came here with 3 friends on a Friday night. When we walked in (we had a reservation for 6 PM) it was empty and we were the only people there. Within 10-15 minutes, the entire place was PACKED. The restaurant was having to turn down walk ins and was only letting people with reservations sit. Moral of the story - make a reservation! We were seated and immediately served their fresh bread and sauce which were divine. My friend loved the sauce so much she asked the restaurant if she could buy some! We ordered a bunch of apps - garlic bread, herb roasted veggies, and the 11375 mushroom. My husband and I had ordered the 11375 before for delivery, and it was EVEN BETTER in person. For our meals, my husband got the vegetarian fuzi pasta, I got the spaghetti with marinara, a friend got rigatoni with alfredo, and another friend got the salmon and risotto special. Since she was lactose intolerant, they made a sub for her and let her put the salmon on the rigatoni pasta instead. To end the meal, they gave us some of their biscotti, which again was DELICIOUS. So delicious, we ended up buying a box to go. Honestly the food here was fantastic, and the servers were kind and wonderful. I'd ordered uber eats delivery from here before, and it was good then, so I was even more excited to try it in person. There is nothing amiss here, and honestly just go here. On a quiet street in Queens, you don't expect this kind of incredible food. Truly delicious!

Excellent food Fabulous service Tasteful decor Urban, cool ambiance Need I add more? Well, yes The chef has his heart in every dish prepared!

I've been hearing all the hype around Fuzi, so was excited to give it a try. We opt'd for take out and ordered directly from their website. The posted menu has more options than what is actually available to order. I opt'd for the Rigatoni with Vodka Sauce and Grilled Chicken. The pasta was cooked well and it was a solid Vodka Sauce; the grilled chicken was a bit underwhelming and on the dry side. We ordered the Fuzi with Mushrooms, but actually received the version with the meat. Not a huge issue since we are not vegetarians but could have been a problem for others. This dish is their signature and I had some high expectations for it, I found it kind of meh. Not a ton of flavor and the slow cooked meat was quite chewy. Overall I can see this being a great addition to the neighborhood, but for me, it not worth the drive over.

I am so happy this restaurant is in my neighborhood. The owner is great. The customers are awesome. The service is friendly and professional, But most importantly, the food is amazing. The price is reasonable. I will definitely be back again and again I am sure.

I'd long been wanting to come to Fuzi for the signature dish, and when I came by for lunch on a beautiful spring day I was so pleased I'd finally made it! Fuzi specializes in their namesake dish of Croatian pasta, and makes a number of other Italian classics. To start, we ordered the Little Gem Caesar (as it's one of my favorite lettuces) along with the 11375 Mushrooms, which were sautéed and served with crostini and delicious honey-drizzled ricotta; the waitstaff also brought over complimentary bread and tomato sauce (delicious) at the start of our meal. I enjoyed the cup of minestrone that came with my rigatoni alla vodka lunch special, and was surprised to find the portion size so generous! The vodka sauce was well balanced and they use Tito's, per the menu, which is an excellent choice with its slight sweetness. The Fuzi Salsa Oro pasta comes with a rich meaty sauce, very much Sunday supper with family fare, and I appreciated how carefully handmade the pasta shape seemed. Lots of fresh ingredients and care go into the cuisine here, you can tell, with lovely hospitality to match. We were also happy to order a carafe of red wine and noticed some local beers on the menu; the neighborhood is lucky to have Fuzi and I look forward to returning for the fresh pastas again!

Fuzi is located on what I call the forgotten shopping block of Fresh Meadow Lane - I always find it a bit quiet around here (There is a lot of cool stuff - Lucky Dog tattoos, Amitabha vegetarian spot, and laundromat where I watch people carrying laundry bags that are twice the size of themselves!), but perhaps Fuzi will turn that around because when I visited on a Saturday afternoon a steady stream of customers were coming in. The space is nicely set up with cushy benches around the space with white and red walls with photos of famous and cuteness slurping up twisted forkfuls of pasta - I like their style (Fuzi and the photos)! We sat by the window (I noticed a couple of bees on the inside of the window - they should have that checked). The server was friendly as she brough out our drinks - a local beer from Glendale's Finback for me and Arnold Palmer for my partner in crime along with a starter of Italian bread and fresh tomato sauce. I like this - it reminded me of going to family dinner and you dip some bread in the sauce pot. We ordered a special to start - figs and gorgonzola, it came drizzled with honey on a bed of arugula. Prosciutto toast was on garlicky toasted bread. We were asked if we wanted to add burrata, but didn't see the point since it already has gorgonzola. Incidentally I heard a microwave door and beeps right before this came out which turned me off a bit, but regardless this dish was delicious - the figs sweet, warm and ripe contrasted with the funky gorgonzola. The prosciutto toast was full flavored. I really enjoyed Ricotta Cavatelli v / broccoli rabe, hazelnut "pangrattatto". I usually see this combo with orecchiette ("little ears"), but the cavatelli were great, like "big ears" made al dente. The sausage was the sweet Italian kind and I could taste the fennel. The hazelnut pangrattato added a nice crunchy texture to the dish. I tried the "simple" spaghetti with pesto and thought it was really good - creamy with the brightness of the basil. For dessert, Pizzelle "chips n dip" pistachio cannoli cream was a generous scoop enough for two to share which made for a satisfying end. Overall I really enjoyed it here - it feels like a cozy neighborhood spot with reasonable prices for the quality food being served. I thought the service was friendly and attentive so I left a generous cash tip - I was a little disappointed to see the exact amount I left added to my credit card posting amount (check your statements!). I emailed and Fuzi sincerely apologized reversing the charge immediately - I chalk it up to an inadvertent error. Regardless of the minor issues I will be back to sample more of their delicious pastas!

Small space with couple outdoor seats. The tables are comfortably spaced. Was in the mood for pesto pasta and have been meaning to check out this spot since it opened a few months ago. The service is nice and informative The Arnold Palmer w/ unsweetened tea has a good balance of sour lemonade and tea! Would try it with the sweet tea next time to see how much sweeter it is. The complimentary bread and sauce are great starts. The bread is soft and soaks up the sauce, which has a bit of saltines to it along with a sweet tomato flavor. The special Fig and Gorgonzola with Prosciutto Toast was a delicious choice. The figs were fresh, and the toast was done well. It had a good balance of ingredients except only 1 slice of prosciutto... Didn't feel like that added much to the dish. The "Simple" Pasta - Spaghetti with Pesto. It's a creamier pesto, which I like it as it coats the pasta thoroughly. It has a wonderfully strong basil flavor. The pasta was al dente and went with the pesto. You can add red pepper flakes and/or grated cheese to the your pasta. The cheese didn't add much, if anything at all. The Pizzelle 'Chips'N'Dip' was good ending. A lot of cream to scoop up with the crisp cannoli shells. Not too sweet, with the added dark chocolate chunks to give more texture. Overall a solid neighborhood spot worth checking out for decent pricing and "simple" but tasty dishes.

A no fuss, casual restaurant with tasty pasta! We came for Valentine's Day and they were only serving a fixed price menu but everything was delicious! I wish the portions were a bit bigger but it's probably because of the holiday menu. The salad and heart shaped ravioli were good but they had forgotten one of our dishes. Overall a nice place to get your pasta fix. We will be back to try their regular menu items!

Local restaurant with a very friendly feel, we arrived for dinner around 8 o'clock on a tuesday night and there were 3 other tables. Service was a bit slow but acceptable. We started with some bread and marinara sauce, we ordered the 11375 Mushroom for a starter and we were glad we did! The sweet ricotta paired very well with the mushroom and the crostini. I ordered the Ricotta Cavatelli with the Sausage addition and it was very good. Pasta was cooked perfectly and the broccoli rabe and hazelnut worked amazingly with the sauce. My friend had the Spaghetti Arrabbiata with the shrimp, though the sauce was delicious it did not have a hint of spicy. We ordered chili flakes to add to it and still didn't really hit the mark for us. Overall a great restaurant with a solid menu on the neighborhood, certainly will return.

Love this local, cozy spot!! Great value for even better homey, fresh Italian food. It's so easy to get to and park, so I've come back many times for a quick dinner/lunch. They provide free focaccia (I think) bread & it's SO good. The 11375 mushrooms are a MUST TRY! Love the bread and mushrooms with the honey ricotta spread. They have a daily special menu, where we ordered the seafood bisque and prosciutto salad. The seafood bisque was so good and packed with shrimp, mussels, and scallops. I usually get the ala vodka and add chicken or shrimp. The lemon pappardelle is also really good and on the usual rotation.

This restaurant is a great neighborhood spot for local Italian food and pasta. It's a great place to have lunch or dinner with a small group of people. I had lunch with my friend and we ordered from the lunch special menu. The tomato dishes tasted quite fresh and very homemade. It wasn't too salty or sweet but still had good flavors from herbs and seasonings. The pasta is cooked perfectly well. The chicken sandwich was okay. There was a good amount of meat and the pesto sauce was a nice touch for more flavor. It brings the sandwich together. The homemade lemonade was not too sweet and refreshing. I would come back again in the future for lunch again and to try different dishes.

TLDR: Fuzi Pasta is a straight up neighborhood pasta spot. The prices are fair, the staff is super welcoming and the flavors are awesome. Have hope folks, there are still good local eats out there. The 11375 Mushrooms are worth a try. For pastas, the Fuzi (of course) and the Lemon Parpardelle. Tiramisu and the gelato are great. Fuzi was on my list for a bit and reading through their story online convinced me to give it a shot. It's a small neighborhood restaurant tucked away in Fresh meadows. It's very cozy inside. The prices are very fair. Fair is a rarity in this day/age where a normal pasta will run you easily $25 to $30 in the city or the boroughs. Apps. Complimentary focaccia and sauce. I don't remember the last time I even got something like this. It's a great way to start. We opted for the zucchini flower special, the 11375 mushrooms (because I need to know with a name like that) and the garlic focaccia. The zucchini flowers were one of the best versions I've ever had of this. The batter was light but the cheese was stringy without it spilling all over the place like it usually does. The sauce was tasty, a hazelnut crumble for texture and the shredded zucchini noodles were a nice way to brighten up the dish. I'd have eaten all three by myself if I could have. The mushrooms are basically sauteed shrooms next to crostinis with whipped ricotta and burnt honey. Sweet, savory, salty, crunchy - all very good. The focaccia alone was good, throw a ton of garlic on it - it's great. Entrees. Fuzi Oro. You can't not order the dish that the restaurant is named after. An interesting pasta shape, think folded maltagliati or basically a fat parpardelle folded. The sauce is a slow cook of braised beef, lamb and sausage. Similar to a goulash or a beef bourguignon (not as rich and wine heavy) over pasta. Really unique, very tasty. It's your thought of mixing a pot roast with pasta but actually coming to fruition. Lemon Parpardelle. While it is a cream pasta, you have a nice balance of acid from the citrus and some freshness from the basil cream. The shrimp was plump, springy and the pasta was cooked al dente. I don't even like cream pastas typically but this was very tasty. Probably my favorite. Rigatoni Arrabiatta + Meatballs. A simple pasta ordered from the Simple Pasta section. Solid, al dente rigatoni with spicy/zesty tomato sauce. The meatballs were nice and tender, ping pong sized and they come with 6 which is always a plus. Desserts. Honey Panna Cotta. Not too thick - actually one of the less dense ones but in a good way. Fresh berries on top and a quirky touch of PopRox. Awesome. Tiramisu. Great presentation with the chocolate dipped lady fingers and the dessert itself served in a cup. Perfectly creamy, sweet, rich and flavorful without being too heavy. One of the better tiramisus I've had. Homemade gelato. Stracciatella and black cherry. Creamy, sweet, cold, a lovely pizzelle in the middle. Nothing bad to sea. Had a wonderful time chatting with the chef, Franco. The team here was super friendly and I wish these guys lots of luck. It is very hard to find a good neighborhood spot like this. They seem to almost be out of existence but Fuzi made me a believer again. If this has been on your radar for awhile, give it a try. I will absolutely be coming back again.

We've been excited to see this new business ready to open in the neighborhood for months and from their Facebook page, it looked imminent. While walking by on Fresh Meadows Lane one day, we met Chef Franco Raicovich coming out of the door and he told us they were not quite ready to open yet and it would be another 2 weeks. But now it's primetime dinnertime after grand opening day! Opening Fuzi Pasta is really Chef Franco's labor of love, bringing together locally sourced ingredients to make his beloved pasta dishes. He explained that fuzi is the Croatian version of Italian farfalle and fusilli that he makes everyday by hand. The thin rolled out pasta sheet is cut into diamond shapes and hand folded into a flattened cannoli shell shape. The extra work gives it a chewy texture. Of course, since it's fresh handmade pasta, I have to order it. But we start with the house made foccacia & olives. I think I want a whole order of foccacia next time and that is available to order as an appetizer. Next was the Little Gem Caesar Salad, loaded with parmesan cheese shavings and homemade croutons over the hearts of romaine. Our second appetizer was the '11375' Mushrooms, a sauté blend of at least 3 different mushrooms served with crostini piped with a ricotta cream. Very delicious! My son went with the Friday Lasagna Special and though he liked the taste, the middle of it was cold. I'm sure the pan of lasagna was made during the day, but it really should have been heated back up before serving. My wife went with the Ricotta Cavatelli, which was great tasting with Sausage and Broccoli Rabe. We also ordered a side of tasty meatballs in marinara sauce. My Fuzi Salsa Oro was a unique taste sensation, different from any pasta I've had before. The fresh and chewy fuzi pasta looked to be coated in an Alfredo sauce before being topped with the sausage, short rib & lamb ragu finishing sauce with chunks of tasty meat. My only regret was that the bowl wasn't deeper and filled with more pasta. Even so, it was a satisfying meal and I would really like to try the dessert next time. We will definitely be back to try the other pastas and come for lunch. I have the Lemon Pappardelle already picked out and I can't wait for Fra Diavolo Fridays!

Excited to visit this place. But service was extremely slow since we walked in the door. Other parties were attended right away. We had to even wait for the menu. We'll let's say I had to asked for them. Smh. Service should be the same for every party. Food took even long to arrived. Thank for nothing.

Food excellent, service excellent, ambiance not great cuz music too loud...however, not a reason to not go back

Focaccia and sauce to start were delicious Owner gave me a piece of bruschetta that was also delicious Ordered the spinach gnocchi with bolognese sauce that had homemade gnocchi in it. This dish was also delicious but would have given them 5 stars if it had better temperature The bowl was still cool when I finished. The bowl must have been fairly cold and should have been warmed prior to putting the food in it.
