La Vigna Restaurant & Bar Reviews List

La Vigna Restaurant & Bar

Located on Metropolitan Avenue in Forest Hills, an upcoming Restaurant row is La Vigna Restaurant featuring Chef/Owner Giuseppe Vitale’s masterful interpretation of Italian cuisine. With the walls painted in the warm golden tones of an Italian villa and huge wood framed mirrors which expand the intimate space, it is perfect for smaller dinner parties. La Vigna also features a beautiful wooden bar with an excellent selection of Italian and Californian wines. Chef Vitale, born in Naples, was a chef for Lidia Bastianich for many years, learning the mastery of her techniques at Felidia, Becco and her original location in Forest Hills, Bona Via. La Vigna's cuisine combines the ingredients of traditional Italian home cooking with a sophisticated touch haute cuisine.

"We've been living in the area for 22 years, but have never been to this restaurant. We made reservation for New Year evening, but were not able to go. So,decided to try it again to celebrate Valentine's Day. And were not disappointed. Even my daughter who lives in Manhattan and have been to many good restaurants there liked this one.
It was easy to make reservations. The food was good. It has a big menue and choice enough to satisfy everybody's taste even our 4 and 10 year old kids'.
We all liked this restaurand and will definately go there again.
