“Mario’s in the Bronx does it for me. Thin & crispy cutlet, rich unctuous sauce, and fresh mozzarella that isn’t overcooked.”

replying to u/violetw0rld: the vibes are immaculate, but i went not long ago and was severely disappointed by the food
“I go at least once a month and have only been disappointed once but then I always get some kind of reliable pasta (linguine with red clam sauce, fettuccine with vodka sauce, or pesto pasta.) I also just love the garlic carrots”

replying to u/Raystacksem: For fort greene. Brooklyn public house for nachos and good pub food. Black iris for good middle eastern. Farmer in the deli on Myrtle and Adelphi for the best deli sandwiches. Warning these sandwiches are HEFTY. There’s usually a line, but it’s worth the wait. Thaiholic, love their green papaya salad and Holic wings Walters, best fries in the neighborhood and everything they make is good. Mario’s pizza on dekalb and Clermont. Osteria Brooklyn and Graziellas

replying to u/Revolutionary_Box_57: It's likely out of your way because Middle Village isn't easily accessible for most people, but I can't recommend [Mario's](https://mariosmeatsanddeli.com/) enough. Their website is a little outdated but I'd recommend checking out their [Instagram page](https://www.instagram.com/mariosmeatsanddeli?igsh=MXNqc2F0dmcwa3ltdQ==) which is a much better showcase of their products. My other recommendation in Queens is Sorriso as others have mentioned. Fantastic selection and excellent customer service.

replying to u/Malsperanza: Zero Otto Nove or Tra Di Noi on Arthur Ave. are great, but getting to Arthur Ave. is a pain in the neck, especially with a kid in tow.
“I also recommend Arthur avenue, but will add Mario's, Enzo's or Dominick's. Actually there are a bunch of good choices.”

replying to u/stimilon: Levain cookies, magnolia banana pudding, Katz’s pastrami, Joe’s Shanghai (and sister Joe’s Ginger), most of the “good” pizza places (John’s, Grimaldi’s, Juliana’s, Lombardi’s), Blue Hill, Arthur Ave classics like Mario’s. Corner Bistro. Jacques Torres. McSorley’s, Crif Dogs. Momofuku Noodle bar. Is Wo Hop still open? Mid places: PJ Clarke’s can be hit or miss for the money. Sylvia’s can be meh depending on what you get. Grand Central Oyster Bar is fine, but better can be had. Places I don’t love: Rao’s, Peter Luger.
