Violettes - (Near Staten Island, NY)

A Christie Came here for my 39th birthday with my two friends and it was a lovely quiet Wednesday night! Truly a treat felt like we had the place to ourselves but there was a good amount of people there. The ambience was amazing, the food spectacular! The wine selection was amazing as well! Our server chris was amazing! Please come here for a birthday or date! What a treat

Ajinkya Buradkar Elegant ambiance, consistent with other Black & Blue locations. I ordered the steak, which was perfectly prepared and well presented. The mashed potatoes on the side were decent but could have been a bit creamier and smoother. The crab dip with bread, calamari, and meatballs were all outstanding. Service was prompt and attentive through.

Simone Starr Great food and great service! The bacon was so good we ordered a second one. The short rib rolls were very light on the short rib though. Either way I’ll definitely be back.

Katrina Aronoff We have been waiting for a long time to come here and it was definitely worth the wait. The osso bucco was so tender and the bone marrow melted on my tongue. The lamb chops I highly recommend, as well as the bruschetta trio. We also ordered the napoleon which was so fresh and crunchy. We took the tiramisu to go!

Dee Williams I came in for lunch during happy hour and will surely be back. Before I even opened the glass door a gentleman who worked there greeted me with a smile. I was sat promptly and given then menus by Paola. She as well as the other staff were extremely attentive. The happy hour deal is great and the freshness and quality of everything I ordered were top notch. I order spicy tuna crispy rice anywhere I see it on the menu and this one was one of my favorites. There was an extra level of flavor that was so yummy in the sauce they either drizzled or mixed into the spicy tuna. The chicken kaarage was excellent as well as the spicy tuna roll. I can’t wait to go back and try more of their menu items. Paola was absolutely sweet and knowledgeable about the menu. I’ll be back soon for sure!

Anthony Spicola I treated my cousin, her daughter and husband at this wonderful southern Italian restaurant. They really felt comfortable and glad to be at the restaurant. They liked the choices provided on the menu. We started with the meatballs, the shrimp/calamari salad and the mozzarella. All the appetizers were excellent but the meatballs were truly a delight. Ive never had any better at any restaurant. They had many dinner specials and my cousin tried the pesto risotto. Her daughter just had spaghetti with tomato sauce. The rest of us has the fusilli with bolognese sauce. We were all smiling as we ate. Of course we had to try their desserts. Since it was my cousins birthday I ordered a plate with a selection of desserts. All of them were so fresh and flavorful even the tried and true tiramisu. Youll love the friendly and accommodating service. The wine list provided plenty of variety and value.
