This place is grandiose❤️ Food was okay. Servers needs to work on their manners. Everyone on our table felt like we were rushed. Too many main courses served all night and hardly no desert and coffee. Excellent place to ballroom dance❤️
One of the best exclusive community center in this area. When I entrance I feel I am entrancing in a palace, Royal feel everywhere inside .Only problem in outside not huge parking for guest but vallet parking guys manage.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL VENUE! I came here to set up treats for a sweet 16. The marble flooring, beautiful chandeliers, and statues are regal with an ambiance to match. Very impressive!
Don’t have your birthday party here. The owner ended our party two hours earlier than promised and asked for extra money to let us stay. We had a party of 30. They ruined the night.
Pretty nice place to host a large scale party. Very ornate and beautiful inside, lots of perfect spots for pictures.
Beautiful place to hold an event there. Very upscale, great service, large rooms, exquisite decoration. Highly recommended to everyone.They even have a valet service and its own parking lot. I have been there twice, and my two visits have been very satisfactory.Im pretty sure you are going to love it 💓💕💗❤🌷
In love in this place , delicious food , perfect service , and beautiful ballrooms.
Hi thereIts a Good Venue, overall service is good.The worst experience is with valet parking staff.They are very rude & disrespectful.Thanks
Amazing decorations, nice place to go for a party, event, dinner wedding or whatever you are invited to.
Pricey.Ugly on the outside.Gorgeous on the inside.Very spacious, clean, not big enough stage for bride and groom.
Party hall was beautiful.Service was excellent.Would definitely recomend
Great service, nice ambiance. Manager Anthonio, went above and beyond to make my guest comfortable. Food tasted great and was abundant with top shelf drinks and service. Highly recommended.
This hall is beautiful and very pretty. Please don’t have your wedding here the service is horrible they don’t clean off the table before bring your dessert . they ran out of clean silverware and glasses to drink from. No coffee was offered to my guest to drink with there dessert. And to top it all they took pictures of my guest and sold them back to them for $20 with out my permission they had my guess thinking we were Selling pictures at our own wedding. Antonio is full of it . This place yes you to death and when most important day of your life comes it’s so disappointing. Just so sad!!!
Very beautiful restaurant with a great venue. Ive been here a few times for big occasions. Very spacious and picturesque.
This place is just a pretty face!!! They provide no type of professionalism or service the day of your event. Empty promises is all they give you during the planning phase. The BBB needs to do a thorough investigation of this business and all the terrible reviews they have been getting across various websites and Google needs to verify all reviews posted under this place. Yes, all will appear as well if your a party guest, but if you are the one throwing the event, there will be a lot specific details agreed upon that they will not follow through on. If your looking for a beautiful migraine headache, this is your venue! Just make sure you have your own written up agreement as to what you are expecting to be done the day of your event and have your event coordinator sign it!!!!!
Beautiful place for big wedding! Nice and clean! Delicious food!
Ruined my wedding day will never forgive be very carful before trusting the Illagio with the most important day of your life.I highly recommend you choose another more caring hall. Illa and his hall are both big and fancy but cold hearted on the inside.
This place is beautiful . If you planing to have Event, this is would be the place to rent . Beautifully decorated with nice furniture , chandeliers , drapes , walls, ceiling , beautiful stairs . Butler is just the sweetest man , who will approach you with a big smile , open door for you and give you direction 👍😄
Beautiful venue. Clean. Valet parking. A++
We recently had our wedding here and the service was phenomenal. the caters, staff and hosts cater to your every need before, during and even after the wedding reception. Antonio is always a phone call away to assist you with any changes and updates you may have and the wedding planner is quick and prompt with responses and adjustments through email. the staff is always ready to assist you with anything even something as simple as serving you tea/ water/ seltzer they are there for you. the venue itself is beautiful and spacious so clean and so shiny. i 100 percent recommend this place and will definitely be using their services again for any future events i may have.
Beautiful hall, very nice and helpful staff, excellent food
Beautiful venue but very horrible customer service please think wisely
Words cannot describe the gratitude I feel towards Ilya and his incredible staff. I booked my wedding with him back in March before the shutdown and to my relief Ilya never failed me. Ilya worked with us every step of the way and made the entire wedding process a breeze. Even when they were forced to close doors last minute, Ilya found us a new venue and blew all our guests away with his menu and service. Every single guest was amazed by the beautiful tables and exquisite menu. Jaws literally dropped! From the get-go, Ilya was professional and a problem solver. Every issue or concern was handled momentarily. From his event coordinator, Indira, to the bridal assistant, Bracha, every single person made my wedding day special and effortless. My only regret is that we couldnt hold the wedding at Illagio. Highly recommend him for all catering and events.
Such a beautiful venue! I attended it for a birthday party a few weeks ago and it was a great experience. The party was catered, I thought the cocktail hour and main course food was alright but I figure that is dependent on the package that the host chooses. The desert was laid out on an outdoor patio and was so delicious!
Beautiful place. Went to my Goddaughters wedding. Fabulous time
Beautiful place. Great food and service.
The place is simply beautiful. The staircases are great places for taking pictures, the staff are quick and efficient, and the food is pretty good! So far, after visiting the establishment more than a few times, I am not complaining. Well done!
What a difference a year makes! I had my wedding here a year ago and my review was unfavorable yet honest. I went back for another big event last week, and I have to say it went very well. The owner listened to my constructive criticism and fixed everything. At the event, the bartender was able to handle 2-3 people at the same time. The food was delicious. The place as always was impeccable and still gorgeous. They even fixed the outside. And yes my cousin received the cake that she ordered. During the party, someone dropped a glass on the floor, and there was a waitress who picked it up immediately. When I went to ask for sugar for the coffee, it was brought to our table. I would definitely have an event there now. They have improved so much in the last year and all of their hard work is to be commended.
The staff was super helpful and was on top of everything. The bridal attendant was amazing! She was so nice and attentive throughout the entire night and she was prepared for anything that could go wrong. The venue is absolutely beautiful and the food was delicious. All the guests had an amazing time. Best venue, best staff!
Great Restaurant with amazing food and service!!!
I dont give a 5 starts pretty easy. Very impress with this place.
My Family has had several weddings here, very very upscale! Beautiful interior design, chandeliers, gazebo and the entire ballroom/building. It is absolutely gorgeous! Although, I love it, I wasnt a huge fan of their food, it wasnt bad but surely wasnt great either.
First is, very elegant place. Valet parking there was no problem, second star is the presentation of the venue the bathroom was very clean. Would I plan my party here? Absolutely not. The food was not good, I had no choice but to eat it I had no idea what was being served. There was no desert, no fruits for the price of this venue isn’t worth it. There are other wedding venues where they serve you the appetizers and have all kinds of deserts and snacks. Lastly is the poor serving of drinks. We had to go to the bartender just to serve us soda in a small wine cup. And left us pitchers of water in the table. Why not a pitcher of soda? We had to constantly get up to get a refill for soda that was serve in a small cup. The service was ok, we asked to get bread they said no more, an hour later they came around giving out more bread????? However the place was beautiful, but I wouldn’t have my party here.
Amazing palace for wedding or large venues. Well organized, beautiful and clean.Street parking and valet available, smoking area, lounges, clean restrooms. Don’t forget to take a picture alongside beautiful white piano!Owners and team members are very attentive, focused, friendly and professional. Special thanx to Indira and Kenjabek!
I had my wedding here on August 23. I loved everything about this place. The restaurant is beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff were friendly and hard working. I cant thank the manager, Ilya, enough for making my wedding day perfect. I have never met a nicer person who was willing to go above and beyond to make sure that our guests were happy. He was always so calm and never said no to anything that I requested. I was nervous at first since this was a new place, however Im so glad that I chose this restaurant.
A beautiful venue. A bit gaudy, but thats what people who do events in this venue like. Its very royal , palatial and brand new. One advice I would give to those who run events here, take notice of lighting. If lighting is not done properly, the event doesnt feel intimate. It feels like a cafeteria. So lighting from the get go is very important. Do not make it very bright. Audio, do NOT hold ceremony outdoors. The sound of the train will ruin the event. Recently attended a wedding where the Hoopah ceremony was held in their upstairs rooftop space, and the ceremony was disrupted by the train sounds every 5 minutes. It was cringe worthy. Otherwise a beautiful space and if you post attention to above recommendations, you can have a great event /party here!
Held our wedding Aug 31, 2018. I have to give this place 5 stars. A whole year of planning and dealing with the staff was so amazing. Day of our wedding the head staff member was so understanding and professional. They made our wedding a success. Strongly recommended
Nicely decorated, complimentary parking, outdoor roof area, beautifully done.Went there for a friends son wedding and had nice time.
We held our wedding there and it went fantastically well. The staff was so great while arranging the event. It was a pleasure working with them. One of the best organizers I’ve dealt with. Recommend these guys to you!
Beautiful venue!!!! I was a visitor at 2 weddings there and I like the layout, the service and the food there. Clean and cool in summer
AMAZING!!! We had our wedding in Illagio and AMAZING is the only way to express our event. The workers, the management, all the staff were so professional and catered to our needs. The food and the service was awesome. The event went above and beyond our expectations and everybody seemed to have so much fun. It does help that this venue is gorgeous and newly renovated. Thank you to all the staff at Da Mikele Illagio.
This place is absolutely amazing. I was more than happy with everything, the service, the venue, the menu. I had my wedding on August 23, 2014, and was I glad to have chosen this place. I have been to many weddings at different restaurants, and none compare to my experience here. The food was most delicious, all the food has flavor. As mentioned the staff all did their job and performed very well. But, one person I have to mention, who made my wedding memorable, is Ilya. He went above and beyond to accommodate all my Albanian dish needs. Even dishes the restaurant didnt offer, he made them possible in order to make me happy, and make sure the guest were happy. I wish, I could have been a guest at my wedding, and enjoy all the delicious food and drinks they had to offer. All my wedding guest, had nothing but good things to say. I highly recommend the restaurant.
The place is so elegant and Beautiful and fancy. I already assisted to 2 parties one of them was a wedding and the other one was a sweet 16. But I would definitely myself would not want to do party here because the food is not tasty and both of the times Ive been there the plates are dirty . The service of the waiters needs improvement . And this place is very expensive so everything should be on point. I dont recommend this place if you want to spend over 20thousand dollars think twice about it.
Worst hall service ever. They gave us no water or diet soda. Such bad service, hall service was horrible! Halls beautiful but please save your money not worth having guests complain about the drinks and service!!! Not a good hall
Nice place to celebrate a Holiday Party!!
This venue is BEAUTIFUL. My family recently had a 50th birthday party for my dad here with 700+ people. We strictly said no beef or pork on our menu yet during cocktail there was beef and pork being served. Due to religious and cultural reasons this was a problem for us. Also during our dinner we had an option of baked salmon w/ rice . Half of the room got rice and the other half got no rice! For the amount of money we spent at this place this was unacceptable. We also had a seating chart with tables numbered and they put the numbers wherever they felt like instead of following the seating chart.Thank God I went upstairs before the main event started and had them rearrange it. I understand problems come up but you dont make changes on your own without consulting your client. I think if youre having an event with less people they can handle it much better than they handled our event. The people that work here can be a bit rude as well and the night of I had some patience because we had a big party but then they need to be aware of how to cater to such huge events. Be aware of making sure your night goes the way you want it too.
What a beautiful place to have your wedding at! This wedding hall is large, spacious, and marvelous to look at. They treat you well and accommodate you in every way. The owner Iliya, is very patient and understanding and will go out of his way for you. I had a great wedding here. All my guests were very impressed and said they never seen a weding like this before. The food is also top of the line. I highly recommend this venue for your wedding, bar mitzvas, and any parties.
If there was an option where I can give 0 stars I would do so. Me and my sister only went for a tour today. The place looks elegant but the person who gave us the tour,(do not remember his name, neither he gave us a card or anything) was extremely RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL. He was acting like he doesnt even want to talk to us, like what are you doing here, This is you job. Half of this business is hospitality and he had 0% of that. He made us feel so uncomfortable that I couldnt even stand there for a minute. I am not sure if he was racist or just rude. Even though place looked nice I would never even attend a wedding there , having our own wedding, Not even a possibility. I dont wanna give you my money for treating us so badly.
The place is beautiful and staff are always nice people . I went to work as a Dj and they treat me really nice
I went there for a scheduled tour at 2pm. We were treated very poorly by staff. We walked in and there was no one there to greet us... after 5 minutes of sitting in the lobby area with no one in sight I decided to call, and finally a woman came to greet us.. she opened the door to the ballroom and left us there.She said to wait by the lobby area when we were done looking at the room, and someone will do an official tour with us in a few mins. After we finished looking we went to the waiting area and stayed for 40 minutes! No one came to get us. This was extremely unprofessional, and as a potential customer spending thousands of dollars they should treat their potential clients better. We ended up just walking out, and never hearing from anyone. If they cant even manage their site tours I dont want to imagine how awfully managed an event here would be.
Went for a wedding yesterday, the food was really gross and the appetizers are like for poor people, the staff didn’t offer drinks and we didn’t even have a choice of a meal they served one dish, would not recommend this this!! All the appetizers were really cheap!! The staff wasn’t even ready they were still setting up and had 100 people waiting in the hallway, also the waitress kept rolling up dirty napkins and putting them back on the table🤮🤮🤢🤢!!
Place 5 StarsFood 4 starsService 1 starVery low level of waiters with no manners, kept pushing me from the back with Dirty gloves instead of just saying excuse me.Feels like its waiters party not guests.When i got home all my suit was dirty in the back.
We had a big party last weekend of 420 guests from all over the US. Everyone was amazed of the elegance of the venue and the food was so yummy. The staff are nice and efficient. Maitre d was very accomodating. Ilya tried his best to make us happy and worked with us to meet what we need and expected. Our were happy and contented. Most of them can’t wait for another party in this enormous place.I highly recommend da Mikele Illagio for any event you want to have...
I will beg whoever wants a nice party to look elsewhere but not here. Beautiful place but the management is nasty , rude and racist. They charged me more than the original price that they charge for their White costumers than black , just for the place with no food and bar. A freind held her wedding there and I was a guest . I went and put my deposit and later talked to my freind and found out the truth. I told them to fix it . However they treated me with disrespect and said whatever I see online isn’t true including the manager. Briefly, on my wedding they waisted my three hours and at the end they turned off the electricity and I swear not a joke. I felt humiliated, disrespected and treated my guests very bad . On 8/2018 they destroyed what supposed to be the most beautiful day of my life because of racism.
The interior boasts marble flooring, a lit grand staircase, a stunning skylight and magnificent chandeliers. Plush furniture lines the hallways and fills the cocktail lounge. The ballrooms are expansive looking. Celebrate a romantic ceremony to a classic reception, Da Mikele Illagio offers great kosher food selectionsl. Share your first meal as a married couple with your guests and indulge in the fresh gourmet food prepared on-site.
The hall is very beautiful but the stuff are very rude AND UNPROFESSIONAL. Our party was suppose to start at 8PM and the tables weren’t even ready till 8:45pm. It was very embarrassing that our guest had to wait in the hallway for 45 mins. I spoke to the manager at 5pm about setting up the tables and he responded in very rude manner. He told me not to tell him how to do his job. He started setting up the tables at 6:45pm for a 8pm party. I guess he doesn’t know how to do his job, since he couldn’t finish on table. I recommend NOT TO RENT A SPACE HERE.
If youre looking for a place to hold an event, dont look any further than Da Mikelle Illagio. My colleague has held a wedding there and everything was perfect a true 5 star experience. An added benefit is that they have their own parking lot and a valet service. Would recommend that place to everyone!
Beautiful venue and ambiance, but the food is really not good. The catering needs a big improvement.
This place is beautiful, yes but its a shame the service is horrible. We were told dinner would be served 4:45 and it was delayed which messed up the entire schedule. They served the salmon and an hour later brought out the steak and then brought out the chicken. Wasted so much time. The drink bar was a help yourself juice stand and bottles of soda. So cheap for the price you pay. It was as if they never hosted an event before. The waiters seemed clueless. Worst of all when you complain to the woman Carina she does nothing to help you. Just stares with a blank face and says she understands and does nothing. Antonio is of course no where to be found the day of the event either. Its a real shame that the hall is so beautiful but the service is so terrible. My advice would be to put your money towards somewhere else to make sure your event is special and not like this. So so so disappointing.
Beautiful place but make sure somebody from your family is making sure that everything is running base on your schedule and your requirements . They will agree to everything you want and then during the event they will do the way they want to. Ashamed ,because it is a great place , maybe personnel needs to be changed. Bride and groom -weitres/assistant was very nice to me but very rude to my guests we had to take her on a side and talk to her. Ilya I know your good friend and I feel so bad to put 1 star but you need to be aware of those problems and fix them ASAP, so your place can grow and customers can enjoy every event. Its important to provide great service and promote your business. Thanks for everything and I hope customers in the future will improve my rating with your improvements. Good Luck.
I love the look outside, you feel you wanna see inside, and yeah it is amazing inside. I went there for a wedding and it was amazing, I love ceremony, ball room, cocktail hour, the amazing wedding hall, catering facility. Great wedding halls, wedding halls in Queens for wedding receptions and wedding hall, Queens NY. It is a perfect place for planning a wedding or any event. Highly recommended
Good little place been there more than once to weddings nice friendly staff on a low key queens block
In September we had our wedding at Da Mikele Illagio, everything we asked for, wanted or imagined Ilya & his amazing staff made it happen for us! Almost 2 months later and our guests are still calling us to tell us that they had an amazing time. The food was delicious, dessert was great and service was wonderful! What more can a bride & groom ask for?! The venue is the most important part of a wedding and I am glad that we went with Da Mikele Illagio! Thank you again Da Mikele Illagio!
I had my wedding here and unfortunately the place is beautiful but these people have no idea how to run a catering hall. First of all i was never told that the juice bar was going to be a help yourself style with bottles of soda...how cheap does that look? Second of all it took almost the entire time of my party to get the food out. Never in my life have I seen any place bring out fish first then steak then chicken. So half the table is eating and the other half isnt? That messed up my entire schedule and messed up my DJ. Third of all i had made a wedding collage video and i asked them several times to play it ahead of time and make sure the picture and sound works. The day of the wedding they play the video without the sound and the entire thing has to be repeated again with sound. It made it look soo sloppy. I had several guests complain to me about the disgusting wait staff that was just rude and had no business working there. And karina was the abdolute worst banquet manager i have ever dealt with. She never solved any of our problems or did anything we asked of her. Also i had to run after her before the wedding to even get the arrangements done. They only call you when they want you to pay. And you only see Antonio in the beginning when he gets you to sign the contract after that good luck getting in touch with him...honestly I was expecting so much more from this place and was greatly disappointed..its beautiful yea but not worth the money or the hassle...i would recommend going somewhere that knows how to treat their customers..i know i will never recommend this place to anyone and my guests were completely turned off from it
Pretty venue. Very spacious. Food is nothing to write home about. They began breaking down the reception area half way through the ceremony...despite the fact that the areas were separated by nothing but a curtain. The sounds of them breaking everything down practically drowned out the vows.
Our nonprofit needed a new venue for our gala fundraising event this year. Da Mikele Illagio was easily the most elegant catering venue we’ve had for our event. The special events staff was always one step ahead of us. This was the first year that I could actually enjoy the event since I knew we were in good hands. We found the new home for our annual fundraiser!
We recently had our wedding here. It was a magical night. Marcel, Ilya, and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to make it a special night for us and our guests. They more then accommodated us, they treated us like family! I would highly recommend anyone who has any sort of occasion to celebrate to call them, as their creativity will turn an ok event into an unforgettable experience!Thank you for everything!
The hall was extremely bad service. My cousin had her wedding there, they screwed up her seating for guest, the coctail hour was very poor. The service from the staff was very unprofessional. Unfortunately they destroyed the memories of her wedding. I hope they will sue the hall for destroying the wedding and the lost memories you will never be able to change.This hall was the worst and the service was horrible. No ratings. Very poor.
Excellent ... i love everything this place is just a wonderful wedding halls in Queens, My friends from all over New York they love it and they willing to host their parties there. From long island, Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, Staten Island and Manhattan... Great job Im really proud of you guys:-)
Simply horrible!! DO NOT TAKE A PACKAGE! Iressponsible staff. The restaurant is beautiful, the owner is helpful but unfortunately the staff aren’t especially the coordinator Jennifer and the video guy Arthur.These people ruined my wedding unfortunately. Video guy did a horrible job, yet when I asked him to change some things on the CD, he not only gave me attitude, he was RUDE! He didn’t want to make changes. After we spoke to the owner, Ilya, the video guy made some changes but yet again he made other mistakes, on the CD he put the wrong month for my wedding, shows his professionalism and carelessness. Now because I don’t want to deal with him, i will have to take the CD to someone who IS a professional.Jennifer, who I have been organizing my wedding and to whom I asked 1,00000 times if everything was set for the wedding and her reply was always YES.ON THE DAY OF THE WEDDING, she tells me they didn’t order the kippahs. When I told her that she told me it was all ready, she said “ordering kippahs isn’t part of my job but another girl’s..” I was super angry when she said that!! So why did she tell me everything was set when I individually asked her about everything. I had a list of things and I asked her one by one and yet she would tell me they have everything ready. How dare she tell me on the day of my wedding that kippahs weren’t ordered. I was in the bridal room, with my wedding dress on, super angry and dissatisfied. After she made the comment, she left and no other staff showed up after that.250 kippahs were given to us AFTER the wedding. I don’t know what they want me to do with these kippahs now, I needed them for the wedding, for the guests not to keep it at home!!!Horrible experience! DO NOT TAKE PACKAGE AT THIS RESTAURANT!! It’s not worth it. Get your own people! There were other things they messed up but I don’t wanna write an essay!Overall, even if I try to forget some things, unfortunately, wedding CD keeps reminding me of how they messed up A LOT OF THINGS on my wedding.
I got married there on April of this year. Food was delicious and service was excellent. Before getting married, I would meet up with Antonio and this lady whose name I forgot was the coordinator were excellent.
The employees are unprofessional because they curse on the elevator when little kids are there and they started harassing us
Our event, the K. I. 17th Tapok 2019, hosted by Cagayan de Oro City-Misamis Oriental Assn of NY held last July 27, 2019 was of great success, because of our Grand Gala Night which was the barometer of the whole 3-day event duration. All my guests all over the world and specially our very own City Mayor Hon. Oscar Moreno, his councilmen and some department heads of the City Government were so impressed with our venue, all of them were in awe!!! They described the place beyond words to say, the food was so delicious and overflowing, the bar with bottomless drinks, then you have the 5 projector screens and the video wall were all great and very lively. The waiters and waitresses were all courteous, the floor supervisors, banquet manager and other staff were so attentive to our needs.Thank you Da Mikele Illagio, for making our event great and worth to remember a lifetime...Rely ManacayPresident, CDO-MISOR Assn of NYChairman, Tapok Steering Committee
A picturesque hall, good food and attentive staff. Can be a little pricey.
Its been our first experience with catering companies for our little business, but all the worries have proved to be unnecessary. The team of role model professionals and quality service — what else do you need at such a place?
I was in a wedding and I thought this place is terrible. I shouldn’t have to ask for things to be brought to the bridal suite. The cocktail hour was in the hallway, the food was terrible and your staff is horrible. Wouldn’t recommend at all. For the price brides pay for a wedding I want your undivided attention
While everyone thought the venue was gorgeous, there are several things that did not go well for us the night of my wedding, below are a few.There were not enough hors doeuvres during the cocktail.There was no bar outside during cocktail hour and you told me several times that there would be a full bar during the cocktail.The cocktail reception on the terrace was also changed and I was never told this.The table napkins were two different colors, were there not enough aqua napkins?There was no champagne during the toast.Many of my family members complained that there food was rare when they had asked for well done.I asked for water 5 times and had to go to the bar to get it myself because the bridal attendant was not around.The security guard had vodka shots while on the job.The cake was changed on us along with the filling. That was not the cake that I had sent the picture of. Plenty of times I was told that it could be any filling. We did not choose that filling and I should have been told ahead of time.There was no milk for the coffee.There was not enough cake for everyone. My husband’s side of the family did not get any cake.Needless to say, I am very upset that so many things went wrong and that I was never notified ahead of time for several factors.
The facility was beautiful and the staff were super friendly.
Attended a friend-of-family wedding. The decor, the cuisine, and the service were all top notch.
This Place use to a Chinese buffet converted over to modern hall .As you walk in front the building you see the Chinese dragon monument still outside . The bathrooms are not a nice for the price you pay.The bridal suites are small and do not have enough seating for a bride and the bridesmaid . They give you complimentary snacks before the event , but it was cold and tasted a couple of days old.The bar used cheap alcohol in premium spirits bottle. I had a experienced bartender came to my event and realized the drinks were not premium as the Da Mikele illago said it was. Food was cold ally guest were upset seem like the staff was in experienced .Dont not use this hall , you cannot select the resturants in which you want the catering done from. It has to be a approved resturants from Da mikele illago staff.You can not use a resturant of your choice. Overall this place is a old ex Chinese buffet with fancy LED lights , which every single place now of days has. Beware of the cold food that they use they are very cheap
Nice, nice, nice. The place is magnificent, clean and service is off the roof. Good people and excellent service.
I would give this place 0 stars if i could waiters are beyond rude waited an hour to get someone to open a bottle of wine. On the table the food was disgusting they kept rotating trays from table to table when the cold cuts finally showed up they put the tray out with the plastic still on it. once the waiters took your fork away good luck getting a new one i asked repeatedly and finally instead of a fork i received aluminum foil. They never refilled the pitchers with the juice and soda i would not spend a dime here people pay 150 to 200 a plate for nothing i was shocked at how little food they served its a wedding / communion factory and a complete rip off
Service is generally zero service is not worth it at all
Planning a wedding can be one of the most stressful and time consuming thing you can do. Ilya makes this the most joyful and easiest event you will ever plan.We came in not really knowing where to start and where to find people. We met with him and dont let him fool you he takes a personal interest in you and your event. Ilya guided us to who we need and even gave us his recommendations and suggestions and was genuinely honest about we needed and what we didnt (we went to another vendor and the ladies goal was clear she just wanted money). He was able to get us in contact with people we would have never have gotten without him. Any issue we had, he came in and helped by either speaking with the vendor or finding another vendor. If we had any worries or concerns about the event, Ilya did everything to put at ease including allowing us to try the food and see an event take place the event. I had special requests and almost all requests were fulfilled, including having a none- traditional salad (It was awesome). The chef listened to our concerns and asked questions. Most chefs just nod and say ok, but he asked, if we want something with some spice or no spice. Ilya and chef genuinely cared about the food he was serving at our wedding. My wedding was on November 19th. Since the wedding, people still talk about it complementing everything from the food to the venue itself. Ilya help make this one of the best day in our lives. We will be coming back for more events; because with Ilya we arent just putting an event together we are celebrating something great.
Management was very accommodating. We were very happy with our daughters wedding. It was beautiful. So much food and the presentation was magnificent !!
With Da Mikele Illagio I really discovered a team that was truly passionate about making my wedding the best it could be. They answered all of our inquiries right away and delivered a gorgeous venue that was absolutely extravagant.

They are very hospitable when they want your money but their day of services suck. Their staff members are rude and we didnt feel welcomed. Although the facility is beautiful, DO NOT BOOK THIS VENUE! #TrustMe
Da Mikele Illagio the Wedding Venues / halls in Queens is really great and gorgeous. They really make weddings more special with the wedding venues they suggest. I can say this because my wedding became special because of them. It is really true they are Making Your Special Day Unforgettable thank you so much ;-)
Great services, delicious food, gorgeous hall. Highly recommended
We recently did a large 2 days Public event at the Da Mikele Illagio with about 1500 people in total. The event was a Buddhist teaching and therefore didnt needed a lot of bells and whistles like a wedding but the staffs were very cooperative and we had a successful event.
Nice catering hall to host events at.
I enjoyed my experience here and will be back again! Im totally recommended this place for visiting. THANK YOU for the invitation to be part of the fantastic wedding!
I called this venue to inquire about their services and to set up an appointment for a tour. I was emailed by Antonio who 1st spelled my name wrong. 2nd emailed the wrong date and time that was requested and 3rd he rushed me off the phone saying this place is $25,000 total for 150 people before I could say ok can we confirm a time he hung up on me. I then walked in on my own and spoke with the manager who quoted me an even higher price and told me someone will call me. This place sucks and smells like bleach!!! No customer service at all!!! Some words of advice DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!!!
Banquet Hall. Great for a big party. Fits more than a 1000 people easily. Can work on its service some. However, the decor makes up for it
Great experience for weddings and other large events. Excellent seating and service was phenomenal with everything going as expected, would definitely recommend to a friend.
Big beautiful hall there is a huge ball room, plenty of food and alcoholic beverages they put a lot of details into the design and structure of the hall there is interior and exterior colorful lighting the music goes on nonstop all night, the chuppa room is very big and spacious, I was at a wedding there where they actually used the mechitza
Got hired for a photo booth event September 2018 and November 5,2018, Amazing Staffs, Food 🥘 Amazing and a great 👍🏽 venue.. Thanks You for being part of a beautiful wedding 🎩
They were cursing us out on the elevator in front of little kids. They were harassing us and they were very unprofessional.
It,s the beast place to take pics
I went to my friends wedding at Da mikele illagio, it is a great space with a fine decor. The food and service was excellent. What a great experience I had. Me and my friends loved it.
Very nice place for parties
Its pretty place, big enough to host big weddings, staff is nice.

It was incredible, marvelous, something that youve never seen, it was a positive unforgettable experience, I would love yo go back to do my own wedding
Even though it’s large and kept up well, the decor is so gaudy, that it feels cheap. It appears as a mix of Italian, Russian, and new age design. Ugly.
Bad customer service, not professional, and much swearing from the younger employers/waiters.
They think blasting loud music in the neighborhood at 11pm is acceptable.
I LOVE everything : FOOD, COCTAIL HOUR, WEDDING CAKE, THE WEDDING HALL, MUSIC, DJ, BAND, TABLES, DECORATION,... Da Mikele Illagio is a gorgeous and an amazing wedding hall in New York, actuality its now only for wedding so I will recommend it to all friends and family for any event from corporate parties, sweet 16 parties, birthday parties, fundraiser parties, ...Thanks a lot Da Mikele Illagio really highly recommend
Omg very nice place

This is a favorite of NYCouture Bridal Photography, New York citys most sought after wedding photography studio.
A great place to have a classy event. Its spacious and clean, plus appealing to the eye.
It was okay i had my wedding there but we had problems of us losing our money bag, and they never helped us, and till this day we dont even know where it disappeared.
Beautiful interior. Lots of rooms. Good food great service. Valet parking.
The food is uncleaned and the stuff is un kind and they will ignore you the people at the parking are not responsible and the owner should change them
This place is fabulous if you wver want to have an impressive event you can not go wrong.
Beautiful place! I wish it was easier to deal and communicate with staff and management.
Luxurious venue in the heart of Queens with breathtaking design and delicious food. Service was on point as well.
A great catering spot that can handle any parties from 2 to 100+
Beautiful roof deck dont sit near music your ears will ring
The hall is beautiful. However, the food is not so great.
Animal Rescue Organization found a shed near dumpsters on the property that belonged to this establishment with neglected/malnourished/heatstricken husky thought to be dead by person that discovered it, and another crate with a female dog and month old puppies ..no food or water water..fly ridden
Even though I was a vendor at this venue, I think they can do better with their hygiene
I wish that this place will be carry only beit yosef meat beautiful service

2021-08-04We were in the waiting room on the second floor. A very small inconvenient place. On the ground floor there is much more space. The banquet hall is very beautiful. Good lighting. Good acoustics. The food depends on the customer of the holiday. On this day, everything was delicious. They dont know how to cook Shish Kebab. The service is good.

2021-10-24We just recently had our wedding on 10/21/21 at Da Mikele Illagio. It was truly the best wedding celebration we could have asked for. The guests were very happy and raved about how what an amazing time they had. First off, the service was phenomenal and the owner was very accommodating. The tables were beautifully arranged and the food was absolutely amazing. The wedding cake was beautiful and delicious. The outdoor cocktail hour was beautifully decorated, and our guests were served kabobs on the outdoor patio during the reception. The brides attendant was very organized, attentive, and prepared to handle any situation. We can’t thank you guys enough for hosting such an amazing event for us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.With love,Gabriel and Zahava, Eddie and Lola Alishaev, and Arsen and Irina Zavurov

2022-04-12Our party was suppose to be on Sunday April 10, 2022 (yesterday) We had everything (venue, photographer, videographer, florist) at a different venue/restaurant literally 12 hours before the party on Saturday @ 11:30PM we had a dispute with our original venue and cancelled.We then called Ilya (Da Mikele Illagio) and within 30 mins we organized everything and by everything I mean everything from the menu to the flowers/center pieces, even the waiters who were off in Pennsylvania on vacation were brought in.Btw big special thanks to the waiters especially Zaur treated us like family.Ilya, not sure if you’ll read this but thank you very much not only did you save our wedding but you made it better than we could have imagined.The waiters were amazingThe food was great (all my guests were raving about the food)Thanks again and I hope will see you for all of our future events/parties.

2017-08-26Very beautiful venue and its very clean lol I had the honor to view the back rooms and kitchen. This place is the cleanest venue that I have ever seen in New York City. The staff is on point. Well groomed and professional. Its perfect for a wedding. Valet parking. Closer to highways. Easy to get to from all Boroughs. Food delicious.

2022-05-30Excellent experience just went in for a wedding great venue great location 👍 elevator spacious top notch 1 star for plates and glasses they need to be fast with it
Review №8
2022-02-13There’s literally a strip club across the street from the wedding venue. Wedding reception first, party at the strip club later?! So unclassy.A friend had a wedding at this venue that was sub-par. Decided to inquire about my own wedding with hope my event could be organized better, but the event organizer was unpleasant to speak to. He laughed at a “dumb” question I asked. So, I skipped out and took my money elsewhere!
