Sevara Lomangino This was my first time to go at Deluca’s restaurant with my family and let me tell you something everything was excellent !!!! Food comes in big portions! We went there to have our New Year’s Eve dinner and we picked à la carte option. Little pricey but we were very happy with food and atmosphere. We definitely going back there again!! Also service was excellent!!!

Willie Gonzalez Simply amazing! Salads are spectacular, dishes made with attention to every detail. Just found it and already been back 2 more times. Excited to try the next dish. Chicken dishes done to perfection. No one serves a more tender chicken. Decor is original and very beautiful. Service was excellent. Hope they stay and linger in Staten Islands culinary future.

S S I ordered through DoorDash and I’m so glad that I gave this place a chance. The food is absolutely delicious. I was greeted by the two kind women in the front who had my order ready and was super nice to me. Definitely was giving those southern hospitality vibes. The mac & cheese, the mashed potatoes and the fried chicken with the honey and the hot sauce is beyond delicious. I definitely can’t wait to dine in person. Thank you so much for having my order ready and for being so friendly and kind to me.

Natalia Bender I was visiting from Charlotte and came across BOTA Super Club on Staten Island — and wow, what an incredible experience. Sergio took care of us from the moment we arrived, and honestly, you should ask for him. He has this incredible energy and attitude that makes the whole place feel like home. His service, his attentiveness, and the way he explains each dish turn the night into an experience you’ll always want to come back to. The food was spectacular, the music and atmosphere were on point, and the cocktails were amazing. A special shoutout to Augie, the DJ, who set the perfect vibe for the night — his music truly elevated the whole experience. Highly recommended — and again, make sure you ask for Sergio. He’s a big part of what makes this place unforgettable.

Jennifer Yang Visited with my girlfriends for a girls night out. Beautiful interior, great atmosphere and friendly service. Every dish we ordered was delicious. The interior was cozy, the atmosphere was lively yet intimate, making it a great spot for catching up over delicious food.

Judy MacDougall When visiting NYC from Florida, we took the Staten Island Ferry for the first time to go to a show in the St. George Theatre. We met up here for dinner and were all pleasantly surprised at how awesome dinner. Walk into a not fancy place, but warm and cozy like home, which makes sense because it is a great family run restaurant that smells so delicious inside. The service was attentive and we all had wonderful meals. The family we met here for dinner, said they will be back here again!

Dana Nunez Our visit to Lorenzos was a very nice treat. Upon our arrival, we were greeted and seated by the owners Lois & Richard Nicotra. They truly added to our overall experience. Their personal attention and concern for our evening were truly amazing. To make the evening even better was the ambiance of the restaurant. There was a pianist who was playing some classics and making it look easy. On top of that, the staff was personable and attentive to all of our needs. Finally, the food.... the menu had a nice variety for all those in our party. All the dishes and appetizers that were ordered did NOT disappoint. All had rave reviews about our experience at the end of the night. We will definitely be coming back and wanted others to know about our experience. Overall, I would highly recommend Lorenzos on all levels.

A. Flores 5 stars for customer service, atmosphere and gluten free pasta quality! This is my third time visiting Pastavino and it never fails to impress. The GF pasta is house made and they only charge $2 extra for it, which is extremely reasonable considering other local restaurants charge a lot more than that for premade GF pasta. The GF pasta is just the right texture, density and flavor. The restaurant itself is beautiful and unique to the cookie cutter Italian decor you see around Staten Island. It is also adjacent to the water so has great views. The employees were extremely attentive and hospitable and although it looks and feels like an upscale restaurant, the service made you feel comfortable, relaxed and at ease. Eg. I did not finish my salad and a manager immediately came over and asked what was wrong with it (nothing was, it was just a little lemony for my preference). I guarantee if I had any complaints they would have fixed it immediately. Highly recommend I definitely plan on returning.

Angela Giglia Had a great time food and service were excellent. But there were 3 separate parties which, although very festive, the music was deafening, the 4 of us could barely hear each other. Lol had a sore throat the next day from trying to talk over the music lol lol. But loved all the Italian ambiance, songs and dance. Next time? A quiet Sunday afternoon maybe lol

Tina Maddaloni Came for a party. The servers were great. The dinner choices were good and all around atmosphere made for a great 1st Birthday party

Elena Lopez I had such a wonderful experience at this Palestinian restaurant! The food was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and made with so much care. Every dish tasted authentic and fresh, but the highlight for me was the dessert the crepes were absolutely amazing! The staff was kind and welcoming, and the whole atmosphere made it a place I can’t wait to come back to. Highly recommend!

Kimberly Huang After a long day, we decided to stay in and order way too much food. Things kicked off with the appetizers: beef carpaccio that disappeared in seconds, crispy calamari that didn’t even need sauce, blackened tuna salad that had a nice little zing, and broccoli rabe that made me feel slightly healthy. Then came the parade of entrées. The linguine with clams and linguine with crabs were both solid choices. The octopus baci was surprisingly tender, the mac and cheese was rich and comforting, and the New York strip was cooked just right. And then there was the Angry Lobster. Let’s just say it was angry for a reason—full of sand and not exactly a crowd favorite. Dessert saved the day. The vanilla crème brûlée had that perfect crack on top and was creamy enough to make you forget all about the lobster drama. Overall, great meal. Would I order again? Absolutely. But next time, I’m ghosting the lobster.

Nelly Fantastic food. Portions vary from plate to plate. Some generous, some smaller. When I first was ordering their tiramisu is was double the size. I cant complain though. Each dish I order is delicious. I know I order frequently, for me to continuously order from the same restaurant and being a foodie, means that the business has quality.

Shayla S Went for my bithday during lunch hours, love the enviroment with all the decorations and lights, music was great! Food was tasty, i was surprised there wasnt any pasta with sea food, portions were appropriate. they sang for my bday , loved it. The only feedback i would give was that it was to cold, made our dishes cold quickly. Other then that, we had a great experience ,will be returning.

Kathy Barzal Real Estate Excellent!!!! Service was on point. Attentive but also gave us time to talk and enjoy our dinner. Cant say enough about the food from appetizers to dessert everything was absolutely delicious.
