Restaurants in Whitestone

“I’ve been coming here since I was 10 years old, 24 years to be exact now, place gets better and better. Very home feel to the shop. A real staple in the community. Lovely family. If you want quality Italian food in Queens/NYC this is where you come to.”

“Incredible espresso, desserts, authentic Sicilian specialties. Great place with amazing quality food.”

“If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, look no further. This small family-owned shop is putting out some of the best tacos I’ve had in this area. Everything was fresh and delicious. It’s a tiny space with a big personality, and the service from the family is top-notch. A must-visit!”

“Great food , quaint and lovely. Home made pasta , service is wonderful. A gem in queens !!”

“Excellent food. Good drinks, fabulous views, friendly staff. Definitely recommend”

“Best coffee in Whitestone. Coffee beans to purchase here are more expensive than gold, very high quality though. Everything is good here, seems relatively understaffed at times, but would recommend definitely better than the other overpriced crap in Whitestone, especially the guido espresso bar around the corner that charges 10 dollars for a quad espresso. 🇬🇷”

“Great food. It was delicious and very tasty. Great service . Price was reasonable. They gives you good amount of food. we just celebrated a birth day there. i tell the world about this place”

“Friendly service, good food takes time to prepare but it's so worth the wait”

“My son and I went here after I did my research to find the best delis in Hell’s Kitchen, and this was consistently the top answer. We had limited time in NYC, so every place we visited had to count, and Sergimmo’s did not disappoint. I had a Caesar salad, while my son had a Pasta al Pomodoro e Basilico. Both were great, and so was the shop owner’s treatment of us, obviously not from around the area. Next time we’re in NYC, we’ll be back!”

“I used to get chicken from the a flushing location, but this one is more convenient for me. I love that it’s not just chicken burgers. I can’t eat carbs anymore, but sometimes I’m craving fried chicken. I love their fried chicken wings and drumettes. It’s so flavorful. They definitely use a bit of curry powder for seasoning. I get the mild. Their spicy can get very spicy for me. Next time I will try the roast wings or whole chicken. It’s well seasoned, chicken is crunchy, and the value for the money I paid is great! This is not really a sit down place. You can but it’s fairly no frills. Best for takeout and delivery. It’s a mom and pop shop so happy to help out. Also, the chicken isn’t overly salted like Popeyes. Good for a fried chicken fix without raising my blood pressure :)”

“Their Coffee is soo good!! You can actually taste the rich coffee flavor, and it’s never watered down. The staff is always so friendly, and the service is super consistent. Affordable prices as well!”

“I don’t get all the hype. I’ve had better tasting bagels before I thought this bagel shop would blow my mind lol. They have good bagels, I just don’t get why people line up for them when there are so many better bagel places around. Although they have a lot of bagel types so I’m still giving 4 stars since the service is fast and the bagel selections”

“Love the coffee and the pastries the pastries and They' muffins”

“Can’t go wrong here. Frequently get bagels to bring home to my family but recently got some pastries and Easter pies. Everything is always high quality and delicious!!! 10 of 10!”

“A true neighborhood gem! This ice cream spot has an amazing local vibe — warm, welcoming, and full of character. They offer a wide variety of flavors, from classic favorites to unique and seasonal creations. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and creamy, and the portions are generous. The staff is super friendly and always happy to let you sample before choosing. Whether you're grabbing a quick cone or hanging out with friends on a sunny day, this place feels like home. Highly recommended”

“I went out for lunch and found it to be a good choice. The food had excellent flavor, with well-seasoned dishes, and the service was swift, ensuring I was served promptly. This spot will definitely become a new favorite for our lunch breaks. I highly recommend trying the potato salad, which is creamy and flavorful, and the pernil (slow-roasted pork shoulder) that is tender and juicy.”

“such good food and atmosphere”

“Its always a pleasure experience everytime i pick Gigi’s Pizza on a lazy dinner night. Whether its dine in or take out. The place is clean and the food is great for the price! My husband is a big boy and the food in this place always satisfies his craving and hunger without breaking our budget. I highly recommend this pizzeria!”

“I really like this place, the food is very good. I like the beef sandwich. The NYU sandwich is delicious, and I love their smoothies. My favorite is the Summer Slam, but the Mr. Berry is good too, and my favorite juice is the Villager Juice. I love everything... and the guys are very friendly.”

“Very good coffee and donut for the holiday season very good place”

“It’s Chinese take out, what do these reviewers expect? A luxury meal? Its the only Chinese food takeout spot in that area of Whitestone and I’d say it gets the job done if you want Chinese takeout. The lady taking my order is always nice and food comes out super quickly.”

“On behalf of The Center for the Women of New York, I want to extend our sincere gratitude to Empire Kitchen for their ongoing generosity and support of our Taste of the World at Fort Totten gala. Once again, they donated their delicious vegetable lo mein, which has become a beloved favorite at our event.

The lo mein was perfectly prepared—tender noodles tossed with fresh, crisp vegetables in a savory sauce that was both light and full of flavor. It’s always a crowd-pleaser, and this year was no exception. Our guests eagerly enjoyed every bite, and many commented on how much they look forward to Empire Kitchen’s contribution each year.

We deeply appreciate Empire Kitchen’s continued commitment to giving back to the community. It’s because of dedicated local businesses like theirs that we can raise essential funds to support women across New York. Their reliable support makes a meaningful difference, and it’s why we’re proud to highlight and recommend them.

Thank you, Empire Kitchen, for your kindness, consistency, and outstanding food. We’re already looking forward to next year!”

“The ladies in the morning are always pleasant. My mobile orders are 99% correct and everything is made on time. No complaints.
If I was someone that wanted to sit and stay in a dunkin for a few hours this one has limited seating and is rather small so I'd go to a different one (There's one a block a away and one in the village). Parking can be rough at times.”

“This place was truly amazing. I had an excellent time at this place, as their variety of sushi was very large. My favorite part of this experience was enjoying my teriyaki's my whole table got one for themselves: chicken, eel, shrimp. They had a wide range of foods, and their service was on point. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable, allowing me to settle down and eat in peace. This place automatically deserves 5 stars.”

“Just eat the pizza! Sooooo good!”

“I Love Heath Kitchen the food is the best Love There Customer Service and there Unique”

“Uber Eats Fast warm delivery and fresh ...”

“Always clean and fresh. Other local froyo places like red mango have questionable topping- dried up fruits, flies on nonperishable toppings, dirty machines. I always come here. Love this place. And the owner is super nice and helpful.”

“Cherry Valley Deli & Grill in Whitestone is a true gem! After visiting several times, I can say their insanely large selection of heroes and sandwiches is unmatched. They’ve got all the classics plus some wild, creative combinations that somehow all work—and taste amazing. From the Con Ed hero to the FDNY, everything has been spot-on, and the best part is they’ll let you customize your order just how you like it. Always a delicious experience!”

“Tradition for us to get buy one get one sundaes on Wednesday! A staple in our community and a go-to spot for ice cream cake. Nice that they have parking in the back too”

“great sushi and great service”
