Absolutely stunning restaurant. So worth the trip to LIC. We had the Diablo pizza which was so flavorful and the dough was so soft and not chewy or tough at all. The burrata and tomato was fresh and light. The fish was cooked perfectly, flaky and soft, full of flavor. The tortellini was buttery, so creamy and delicious. I’m still thinking of the butter pecan gelato which is made by the owner’s son. The owner herself is so welcoming and effervescent. The wait staff were bright, cheery, helpful and attentive. Looking forward to going back.

Simply the best! The food is fabulous but the staff is better! So family friendly or high end or garden eats! Thanks for always treating us like family! We always walk away saying it’s the best meal and just a lovely time.

Our recent private family birthday bash at Manducatis Rustica was wonderful! I can not thank Gianna enough for her time in planning the menu and offering to prepare anything my family likes. The food was delicious and abundant , the staff was attentive and kind, the tables were set beautifully. It was like being in my own home -warm and friendly without me doing all the work . I will be returning for dinner often! Bravo to Gianna and all her staff at Manducatis Rustica !

This meal was one of the best Italian dinners I’ve ever had. The Caesar had very thin and yet flavorful croutons and a delicious, light lemon forward dressing. It was excellent.My date and I shared the Gnocchi and it was outstanding. The bolognese(yes I had two different pastas, haha) also as excellent. I tried my date’s steak and it was one of the best tasting things I ever had. The service was top notch, as they were on top of everything. I will definitely be going back. :)

Thank you to the great team at Manducatis Rustica for hosting a wonderful birthday bash for our family of 30!. Delicious food, great service and an atmosphere as close to home as it could be.I can't wait to go back so I can enjoy more of your wonderful cooking. Mille grazie, Gianna!
We had a family party to celebrate 3 different decade birthdays. They were so accommodating and made the evening special for the 28 of us. The food was delicious and the staff so warm and attentive…it was so special. The little kids could move around and it wasn’t a problem. The house wines were very good and the food was abundant and delicious. Going back for a more intimate dining experience. Thanks so much for a beautiful evening.Linda Mitchell

Temporarily suspending my rule that I have to visit to a place twice before reviewing it because this restaurant treated us so nicely on Valentine's Day.Unexpected treats waited at the table (free of charge), along with custom decor and a special playlist. I was a little worried that the iPad menu didn't list prices, but everything turned out to be reasonably priced and delicious.The olive oil was smooth and tasted wonderful with the bread basket. I was actually so excited to have good olive oil that I accidentally oiled myself trying to pour more of it.The pizza was incredible, especially when it's hot. The cheese was chewy and creamy, the sauce was tangy and sweet, and the crust was seasoned with something salty (perhaps, actual salt) that took it to the next level. I've been reviewing pizza for about three years at this point, and I've never had crust like that.Anyway, I broke my rule and reviewed Manducatis Rustica after only one visit, but I will definitely be coming back :)

The busboy Diego was amazing the guy with the glasses it’s the best guy in this restaurant I’m sure I’ll be
Always the best meal, never disappoints - eggplant rollatini, pizza, pasta bolognese, chicken and vinegar peppers, fresh gelato, the list goes on. We’ve had both dinner and private events at Manducatis Rustica, guests loved every minute. The staff makes you feel at home and the owner is amazing. Worth the 45 minute drive for us!
