Beautifully and deliciously prepared homemade Italian food. Loved everything from start to finish. I also love that everything is homemade. I’ve lived in Elmhurst my entire life and had no idea this restaurant was such a gem. I highly recommend you go. Dress nicely and put away your phone. Very friendly and hospitable.
Weve been coming here for over 10 years. Julio the maitred will treat you like family. The food is all homemade and delicious. The atmosphere is perfect for special occasions or just getting out of the house for a great meal. Edwin will make you his special Limoncello as an apéritif to die for!
Went to Il Triangolo with friends and had a very nice dinner. We were greeted by Mario, the owner, who came to our table and shook our hands, a very nice touch. Mario also very patiently took our orders. They brought out a very nice bread dish with fantastic chopped olives. We starters we had a delicious stuffed calamari that was so good. I had the fish special. Orata (spelling?), a white fish cooked with a baked clam like topping, I chose wisely as it was great. My wife had the veal chop special that was very good. Both entrees were accompanied by homemade spaghetti. We ended the meal with a great chocolate cake that was very much like a black forest cake. Overall it was a great restaurant and I highly recommend it. The service could not have been better and I wish I could give it an additional star.
Still the same quality since re-opening and new ownership.I ordered the DRY AGED RIBEYE cooked to medium with baby potatoes and broccoli rabe and the STUFFED PEPPER both from the specials that day.The steak was cooked exactly as requested and was delicious. I was a bit skeptical ordering a steak in an upscale Italian restaurant as I usually order a pasta dish but no regrets.The stuffed pepper appetizer is plenty for 2 people. RED PEPPER STUFFED WITH CRAB, RISOTTO AND TOPPED WITH GORGANZOLA CHEESE. IT WAS INCREDIBLE.We do miss Mario but as I said still running like clockwork and will continue to go back.
I couldn’t of picked a better restaurant in Queens for my sister’s birthday! The service and the atmosphere was phenomenal! This restaurant has class! No Cel phones are allowed only for pictures! Put your Cel phone away in your purse while dining here, and ringers must be turned off. Men need to be is collared shirts. Coats must be checked in and not hung behind your chair. We all felt like we escaped to Italy for a few hours while dining here. They timed perfectly from when appetizers, dinners, and desserts came out plus they gave us as much time as we wanted to enjoy our time there. There was no rush on getting us out. I highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion or just a romantic dinner! For appetizers we ordered two half orders of the homemade ravioli and the Mediterranean salad. The appetizers were very good! For entrees two of us had the prime rib eye steak, and I had the spaghetti with chicken meatballs. The prime rib eye steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly! It had a great charcoal flavor as well. The spaghetti and meatballs were good, but I was expecting the sauce to be more flavorful. The chicken meatballs were ok/good, but I’ve had better. The next time I go I’ll try something different. It’s the only reason why I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5. For desserts we had the apple crostata cake, ricotta cheesecake, and the cannoli all were so good! We all really wanted to order a chocolate dessert to finish our meal, but none were available that day. They also give you house made biscotti with dessert which was excellent! They truly made my sister’s birthday extra special, and we are looking forward to dining here again. I highly recommend dining at Il Triangolo in Corona, Queens!
Super racist!! It was the worst experience ever!! The host thought I didn’t speak Spanish in which he was speaking about us being a group of 7 ppl to another waitress. There parking fits only like 3 cars . This is the first time I see a restaurant that doesn’t allow cellphone use while in there .. sounds super fishy ..
Julio, the waiter, was amazing. Elisa too.
I would give Il Triangolo 4 1/2 stars. Great value.When you walk in, you are greeted by Angelo, the owner who seats you and gives you the menu. He also explains the specials and takes the orders. He told about his house wine which he buys the grapes from Lake County in North California and ages it in his basement at home. He gave us a taste. Amazing for a cabernet @ $18 for a liter. So good we had 2 liters.A small restaurant with 2 divided dining rooms in a historic building. Also I like the fact that cell phones arent allowed except for taking pictures.We started with a special of mussels Oreganata, very good and different. We also had the chicken meatballs in a marina sauce with fresh ricotta cheese, also very good.For mains, I had a nightly special, a huge pork chop breaded topped with burrata cheese and NJ beefsteak tomatoes. It was so big, I couldnt finish it. Great dish. My wife ordered one of their signature dishes, chicken Frangelico, a chicken breast sautéed with thyme, shallots, garlic, smoked bacon, toasted almond and flamed with Frangelico liqueur. Unique and excellent.I would highly recommend Il Triangolo if you are anywhere near Queens.
Delicious all homemade pasta and meals. Excellent service by our friendly server Julio.
Love the no phone policy, really makes you seem as if a traditional family dinner at the table. Superb service, and the food just OMG this is definitely worth the cost. Very friendly service. If Italian food is your thing, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO TO!!!!
Unbelievable meal with amazing service. This place might be the best restaurant in New York. The veal alla grappa and fettuccine alla triangolo are two must haves. I truly felt like I was in someones hi sue having a dinner. Make sure Friday and Saturday nights you dress to impress or you wont be seated.
Amazing service! We walked in and was immediately greeted by the waiter and gave us the choice on where we wanted to sit. I had the fettuccine Alfredo and added chicken. And omg let me tell you, it’s the best fettuccine Alfredo I’ve ever had. All their pastas are also house made which is phenomenal. The restaurant and the bathrooms were also very clean. Highly recommend this place!
The food was great and I had a wonderful experience.
Old school Italian restaurant with large portions. Tiny parking lot. If you park there you will be interrupted during your meal to move your car. Small restaurant. Many people were dressed neatly. Service is attentive. They scrape bread crumbs off the table and change out your dishes and flatware when changing courses.
Best Alfredo! Much love thank you forthe dessert on the house. Also the new owner is really sweet, you don’t need a dress code to dine, which is so convenient. Thanks again!
Great classic Italian food. Everything is home made.
The bread and wine were the best part of the meal, everything else was horrible. I had the hot anti-pasto it was not fresh and partially deep fried, the meatballs were hard and over cooked, the veal tasted like turkey and the desert was close to Entenmanns quality. This place is certainly Not the il Triangolo of the past the owner needs to step up and find how the customers are enjoying their food or not. I see this place failing as an Italian restaurant.
This place is the ABSOLUTE BEST and it lacks in not 1 thing. The staff is SUPER friendly attentive and helpful. The restaurant feels like home, is beautifully decorated and has everything you need to make you feel comfortable and know that your stomach is about the get the best food ever.Food is cooked super fresh and i mean the ingredients are on point and perfect. Big portions, seasoned to ABSOLUTE PERFECTION. DO NOT HESITATE AND I MEAN DO NOT. Take that chance, check them out and you’ll wish you found this place Sooner!!!P.s. the tiramisu is a killer and i mean it’s fire
Bad service, gross food. Nothing like it used to be. Valentines day dinner ruined. Lost our reservation i made 3 weeks in advance. Laughably bad experience.
I give it triángolo 1 star i order food and honestly the food is not what it used to be this used to be my favorite restaurant now it’s my least favorite the I got sick from the food it doesn’t feel fresh and for the price it’s not worth it starting with the bread it’s so sweet feels like I’m eating corn bread the food was blend no flavor like it used to be before honestly I’ll triángolo you guys need to step up your game at the rate it’s going this fine dine that it used to be when the owner Mario was here it’s just going down hill with a due respect seriously I feel sick from the food had step up your game
The food is awesome and their service is fantastic. Always enjoy going to this restaurant.
Old school Italian at its finest!! The service was fantastic and the food was even better. I do however recommend you give yourself around 3 hours to eat. It does take a little longer to get the food out, but it was amazing.
This place used to be a good restaurant but with the new owner the quality of the food and service went down the drain. I will not be going back to this place.
Im happy to announce has a long time customer they have reopened by a friend Mario, Edwin is the new owner and the food remains the same.My wife was very happy to celebrate her birthday this year at the restaurant.Welcome back guys!
We love tfind old surving and thriving traditional restaurants in evolving multi-ethnic neighborhoods. This place is your bring-back-memory neighborhood Italian eatery. Food is traditional and good, service is old-world and old NYC - just right. Understated but thats ok. They dont hover... but are there as needed.
Amazing! The owner was very hands on and in a good way. Homemade pasta, cant go wrong.
Absolutely phenomenal experience!!! I cant say enough about the food, the service, the atmosphere! Everything was spectacular! The owner, Mario, personally greets you and takes your order! The wait staff all wear suits not cheap uniforms; and they are so attentive. I dropped my fork on the floor and by the time I reached down to pick it up the waiter was there with a clean one on a silver platter to replace it. The entire restaurant is clean and neat (and decorated for Christmas). The homemade wine, pasta and desserts were delicious. They even spaced out the appetizers so we didnt mix the flavors and were fully able to enjoy each dish. This was our 3rd time here and it was just as awesome as the first. The highest recommendation possible!
Very good place and food. But prices are very high for that area
Very disappointed the food is not the same quality. The servers try there best but are overwhelmed. Definitely not the same caliber italian restaurant it once was.
This is by far the most authentic Italian experience in dining I have had in many years. The attention to detail is wonderful the courtesy of the staff is equal to the atmosphere in the dining area. This is a family owned And operated business which makes you feel like part of the family. My guest and I walked away from this restaurant feeling completely satisfied the food served here Was every last bit exactly what we had hoped for if you have the chance you must certainly make a reservation dress accordingly.
Always a great time at Il Triangolo. Amazing food and great service.
Dont get me wrong, the food and service at this restaurant is great. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. They took our jackets upon arrival, very fancy shmancy. BUT... I docked off a point because the food isnt as good as youd expect from a high class restaurant as they present themselves to be. So it was a bit disappointing. And another because I felt the price you paid for the taste of the food was a little high. This restaurant is not cheap. But for the price, Ive eaten better Italian food for a bit cheaper. Overall, I was more on the disappointed side after the meal experience.
This was my first time visiting. Mario, the owner, is absolutely great. He came by and said hello by name and let us know the specials for the night. The waiter accidentally spilled wine all over my date. They gave him a shirt to wear, gave us the wine on the house, and even gave him money to pay for the shirt to be dry cleaned. The food was absolutely delicious. Would definitely visit again. Highly recommend!!
Delicious food and great service. tiramisu was amazing.
This was my first time going to this restaurant and it will definitely not be my last. It was one of the most relaxing enjoyable meals with some of the best food Ive had in a long time. Comfortable good authentic Italian food. Service was impeccable very comfortable environment. The no cell phone policy made the meal much more enjoyable rather than hearing the person next to you talking to their kids of course one lady did answer her phone towards the end and she got scolded which made me happy because it was rude and she didnt need to answer it. The owner was named Mario and was amazing. He was very involved Hands-On and was at the tables making sure everyone had what they needed and enjoyed everything. They even came out to greet us at the door and offered to take the car and park it for us and sat us right away. They took our coats and hung them for us and were very attentive to our every need. We were a party of five and they anticipated our needs and made sure we were satisfied and even stayed late because we ran late chatting and eating. This was a great experience I will definitely be back.
Excellent food, service, atmosphere. Most authentic Italian food Ive experienced.
One of the best! Authentic Southern Italian food with a nice wine list and accommodating service. One of those restaurants youll definitely want to go back to. Going on a weekend? Get a reservation. Buon appetito!
One of the best italian restaurants in New York. No cell phones on the tables, no shorts or tank tops. They mean it.
If you like quality Italian food, look no further than this restaurant. Fresh pasta, delicious sauces and tender meats makes this restaurant a spot you want to revisit. Mario the owner is a gracious person and his wife make you feel like you are dining at their house. Finish the meal with the homemade Lemoncello, its a surprise treat.
Last night myself and two friends went to Il Triangolo for the first time. It definitely will NOT be my last. We loved everything we had from our appetizers down to the homemade napoleons for dessert. Mario is an awesome host and the wait staff was very accommodating. I will be returning after the holidays because I have to take my older brother there. I know hes going to enjoy it as much as I did. Thank you Mario for a great dining experience. See you soon
Amazing food with homemade pasta, reasonable prices for good food. They have a no cell phone at the table as well. Its cozy with nice wines and deserts also. I definitely recommend it, but the only bad part is finding park since there is no parking lot. The food portions are a good size and not super tiny like a lot of other places.
The food and wine was phenomenal. If youre looking for a cozy, old fashioned, romantic experience this is your place. Initially I wasnt going to be allowed in because of my attire but the owner let me slide this time. I get it though he is trying to maintain the vibe of the place. They also dont allow phones to be used during service which I also understand.Come here for a nice romantic night out!
Last week was the first time we went to this magnificent restaurant. But It is surely not the last. We enjoyed the evening a lot with the efficient service, with the finest dishes and fine drinks and with the comfortable pay. We will definitely go back there in a short time.
OMG . . . What can I say ! From the friendly greeting when you first walk in to the attentive servers at your table, you are absolutely made to feel like family. The ambience around you and the aroma of garlic in the air takes you back to a time that once was. The food was UNBELIEVABLE and prepared so hot and delicious the way it should be. This place is so recommended and must be experienced... but good luck trying to get a reservation lol ! Definitely worth the trip. God Bless Mario and his lovely wife Pierina... Ciao Ciao
Food very good, nice setting, but the rules to follow were explained by the owner almost immediately after my wife and I sat down. This in itself is okay as i guess they want to create a certain atmosphere, but it could have been done in a more cordial way. I dont need to be reminded of my strict 7th grade science teacher Mr. Abramowitz when Im celebrating my wedding anniversary.
I am going to give them three stars. Mario and his wife are wonderful enchanting people. The food is to die for. The wait staff are very attentive. The only problem I have is this obsession with not having your coat hanging off your chair. My lovely wife is often very hot, then very cold. There was one member of the wait staff, who gave us a very hard time over this. My wife explained her condition to him, but this man was relentless. To the point where he was actually nasty. Now I understand you have a policy, I gave him my coat. But when a woman tells you she will hold it on her lap, because she has a condition that causes her to be hot than cold. I think you can make an exception. Especially since the meals there are not cheap. Like I said, I like Mario and his wife, l love the food. But basically embarrassing my wife was unnecessary.
We are two older gentlemen from California. We made a reservation a month prior to our visit. The host was incredibly rude to us. Even though we had a reservation he told us he wouldn’t seat us because we weren’t wearing collared shirts and that we had to leave. We both had on sweaters and slacks. We were not told that there was a dress code before this, but based on the attire worn by other patrons there at the time, I don’t believe that was the issue at all. Not sure if they are homophobic or what. Not only that, but there was no Uber available here, and after walking around for a long time in the cold looking for another place to eat, we were able to flag down a taxi and get back to our hotel. Scary place. I do wonder how the food is, but it doesn’t matter now because I would never go back there to find out.
I went here for dinner with my mom and sisters and was disappointed by the service.I received a call to confirm my reservation along with an extensive list of rules including no flip flops for men, no kids ( which they repeated 2 times on the phone) and to dress with proper attire. We showed up to see many kids and the guy next to us in flip flops( none of which bothered us). What did bother us was when my sister got a call from her son who was sick, the waiter came over and rudely told us that this is an old fashion restaurant and we cannot be on the phone. When I tried to explain he ignored me and stated with authority that cell phones are not allowed that we need to leave the restaurant and take the call outside! The food was pretty good but because of the rudeness , we will never go back
Very cozy intimate restaurant with great food, excellent service and personal attention. Would highly recommend. Please be aware there are a few rules. The most important is no cell phones on the table. Its a wonderful request.
The food was good but on another note its like being inside a country ruled by a dictator. With all the strict dress codes and what not (which I totally understand) up until I had received an important text in which I had to answer. Long story short Mario put his hand over my phone and told me no cellphones were allowed and not even in a nice way, he went about it rudely and nasty as if he forgot that I was a paying customer. For the food quality and price i paid (which was expensive) i could of went to a nicer restaurant and not been harassed for answering a simple text message. I will not be going there again.
Really loved my experience at IL Triangolo. Service was great. I had the Chicken Frangelico was which great and for dessert had a panettone bread pudding which may just be the best dessert Ive ever had in an Italian restaurant in NYC. Highly recommend!
Things to keep in mind: Fridays and Saturdays is dressy attire. Not like jacket and tie; more like button down/neat sweater clean jeans. Its also adults only. Dont panic when they take your coat. The space is small and coats on the backs of chairs are bulky.Now the food. Amazing. Stamp of approval from my very Italian mother in law. Yes, they push a little heavy on their homemade wine but its good!Entrees are large. We saw neighbors eating ossobuco and its huge. Carbonara was pleasantly light and tasty. Tiramisu was so friggin good.The service is great. They did not rush us in any way, but it was a little difficult to get some attention for the bill. Busy Saturday night - get reservations!!
This restaurant is a gem, family owned business. The food was exquisite!! As appetizer he ordered the fritta calamari, as main course I ordered the Homemade fettuccine Al triangolo, as dessert we ordered the best ever Tiramisu and pannacota. Everything was excellent, service was great! This is a must go place for everyone! I agree with their policy of no cellphone on the table. We actually got to share a lot without the distraction of technology. I just loved the atmosphere!
Absolutely terrific! I invited my mom to dinner here and the owner greeted us with elegant eagerness. He took our jackets, showed us to our table, and served us food even though we did not make a reservation. The food is beyond this world: the bread was buttery, the salad was surreal (pear in salad ftw) and the pasta was rich and delicious. Would go again next time Im in NYC
Classy service with the warmth of a well managed, family-owned business. Many delicious homemade items include soppressata, pork sausage and various pastas. Cozy atmosphere thats perfect for holiday dinners or intimate date nights. You dont have to, but go ahead. Throw on a tie and make it special.
We went there to celebrate my birthday, such a big mistake... the staff it’s incredibly rude, and old man (idk his name or his position) came to us to tell us the day special with all the details of it even though we didn’t asked to because we were ready to order, so my dad WHISPERED to me asking what he was saying because he doesn’t speak English, and I told him “ he’s explaining the daily special” so this old man went and said “ is he going to leave me finish or not?!” With a disgusted look towards my dad, we where there like 20 minutes and after various incidents like this we decided that it was enough and leave, can’t believe how somebody can be so entitled and disrespectful just because they work on a small restaurant in the middle of corona..
We enjoyed our family birthday party dinner there. The food and service was great and Mario, his wife and staff were professional and friendly. We will go back soon.
I was visiting Queens for a wedding and wanted a pre-wedding dinner at a nice Italian restaurant. With the great views i decided to reserve a spot on a Friday night. Well with circumstances that happened the wedding was cancelled but i kept a reservation for 12 at the restaurant to take everyone out that came up to NY. When we arrived my cousin was not allowed in because he had on shorts.. Khaki/cargo shorts with a polo shirt . He looked nice.. an outfit that any Manhattan restaurant would have accepted.He sent him down the street in the slum area to look for a pair of pants.. We were astonished.. since we were not from the area we had no idea of a dress code and Mario, the owner never mentioned it in any of my many phone calls to him. We were shocked that Mario had become so rude not able to make an exception for my cousin even though he came all this way for a dinner with Family. I saw men in ratty jeans and flip flops but i guess that was acceptable. Mario should be taken to court for discrimination the way he acts. Oh and all cell phones must be turned off and not see on the table (like school). I never tasted the food even though i heard it was spectacular. But food isnt everything when having a favorite restaurant. Being treated like we matter is more important to me and Il Triangolo should be shut down because they dont care about people and their feelings.. Mario only cares about an image he is struggling to keep even though he is located in a horribly poor area. I only gave it 1 star because it would not allow me to give it no stars...
The food was good but the service wasnt
This was my 2nd time here and I was disappointed. My hot antipasto was over cooked. The homemade wine was pretty good but the filet mignon special was not what I expected. I didnt like the flavor of the sauce and aged cheese wasnt to my liking.
The food is great. Everything is homemade. The pasta, their wine, desserts,bread. The owner is the server. He can be a little uptight. He has his rules. Esp with respect to cellphones. Dont use them. But otherwise he is friendly. Definitely something i will recommend
Great choice for having Italian foods within a nice environment. Some of their popular items are Baked Clams, Homemade Pasta, Veal Alla Grappa, Sundried Tomato Spread, Chicken Marsala, etc. Definitely recommend for people to have a visit here.
This place is what every restaurant aspires to be. Warm, inviting. Perfect service. Freshly prepared food beautifully presented. Host and owner Mario is the best. Note...there is valet parking and cell phone use is permitted. Bravo on all accounts.
I came here for brunch with my boyfriend. I actually heard about this place on Instagram. I saw someone post the patron bottles filled with some orange goodness and I was all in.The place was smaller than expected but really nice. Our waitress was pretty friendly and helpful as well. I didnt know what I wanted to drink and she suggested my drink for me. I ordered the skirt steak with white rice and plantains and it was very good.Im going to give this place one more try later at night to see what the vibe is like. While we were there we were one of three tables being served so it was pretty quiet. Perfect for a nice brunch with my king.The parking in the area is not as easy. We have to circle around a little bit to find a spot. After all that circling around we ended up finding a spot right in front of the restaurant and someone was just leaving.This restaurant is not too far from home Queen friendly and has pretty good food. If Im in the area again Ill definitely visit.Oh yea! The prices were about average for Queens. If you go Uptown to the Bronx or harlem....youd pay half...but I guess youre paying for the ambiance.
Had dinner there last Sunday with a good friend.. The chicken meatball appetizer was out of this world and the strawberry shortcake appetizer was to die for....the service was excellent and the owners are friendly and personable. Superb dining experience!
This place is, hands down, the best restaurant/dining experience in the entire city! Its homemade everything and the service is beyond 5 star! Its some of the best food I have ever had in my entire life! I dont just highly recommend it, Im declaring this a must stop spot!
There are so many fine restaurants in New York City, but unfortunately, Triangolo is Not one of them...The food is overpriced and overestimated. Accompanied by Italian ideology centered, arrogant employees, acting as if you owe them the world and dont belong to the elite class had made it a horrifying dining experience.Give yourself a break and find another place to eat. Or, be prepared to be segregated and discriminated while paying more than you should.
Food was fresh and delicious. The lobster ravioli special was out of this world. It was our first time here and they easily accommodated us on a busy Fathers Day.
Wonderful Italuan food. No cellphones allowed! Service is impeccable. Homemade wine is potent. Many dishes that are special, not just standard stuff.
☆☆☆pay attention to the dress code☆☆This place is one of the best restaurants I ever being to. The staff is professional and make you feel welcome always and as for the food, my fiance and I treat the menu like a check list and we check off what we have had and try something else the next time. To eat at this place is an experience.Apart from the menu dont pass up on the special of the day.
Fantastic! Food was unbelievable, staff was excellent. Everything about our dinner experience was 5 star. I cannot recommend this place enough. You will not be disappointed!
Perhaps the cleanest, most organized restaurant Ive ever seen in New York. Everything is spotless and homey. Food was great. Service was great. Normally a small restaurant thats been around in Queens since the 80s feels dated, worn, and a bit like a throwback. Not this place. Theyve kept up with the times where it matters and kept it old school where it counts..that means no tshirts, no phones out, winter jackets get hung in the closet. It bothers some but truth is we could all use a few rules to help us enjoy each others company...molto bene. Vai e divertiti!
This place deserves 6 stars! Classy, elegant and the feel of a well oiled machine. Im an hour away and cant wait for my next visit. Mario is the consummate host and restaurateur. Food is slammin.
Awesome ambience and very personal service. The food was crisp and yummy. Will definitely recommend this spot to others. Convenient rates and large meals. Great job.
An exceptional restaurant featuring refined classical cuisine with a few personal touches and some of the best homemade pastas this side of Italy. The service is warm and attentive, allowing for a comfortably paced experience.Typically, we order the baked clams Oreganata and perhaps a salad as well. The fruitti di mare is outstanding, an enjoyable occasional choice. We favor the veal dishes, especially veal pizzaiola and veal.Mario. Wine recommendation is consistently on the money, and good value. We travel from Park Slope, Brooklyn and have many good options, as well as a short jump into Manhattan. Quality is addictive.
Excellent food, hospitality, environment. It stands out because you cant go in dressed like a slob. Beautiful, traditional, delightful place with great food. Worth every penny. Go there soon!!!
Cant comment on the food, We didnt actually eat here because we werent allowed in with a baby stroller. The matradee was rude even before we walked in. He pointed out that guys were not allow to wear sandles because this is a fine fine fine dinning establishment.
The food quality is very poor, the servers are over worked while the ownerwas on his cell phone...will never go back.
This is a fabulous restaurant. They have a house wine that they produce which is incredible. The food was really good. Be sure to make reservations if you go on the weekend
Excellent service, great food. New owner is relaxed but still keeps up the high standards.
We loved it. Food was delicious and the ambiance of the restaurant was wonderful. My parents took us there for our 25th Anniversary. Thank you for a great night. Sincerely Dawn Richmonds/Svilar
Excellent food & service. Homemade wine with great taste. Want something ordered different from the menu, just tell them.
LOVE IT. Not my first and for sure not the last stop at IL Triangolo. They are just too good to be missed. And besides the food people here are so nice which is VERY important as well. Not just for locals, worth to come here.
IL triangolo is the quintessential Italian home of hospitality, service, well prepared presentation. In addition, your table is serviced by everyone not just one server, including the Patron(Mario), who greeted you with calabrese charming.I’m very sad to hear that they are closing, apparently victimized by COVID-19.Mario I hope to see you again in Marcellinata.Butta fen fortunaAnthony and Family
Mario The Owner is So Friendly. This is A Truely Pleasurable Dinning Experience. Food Was so Good. Reservations Are a Must. While 8 of Us Were There, Mario Turned Away Those Without Reservations. A Must Experience.
Fantastic, authentic Southern Italian cooking in a stunningly beautiful restaurant with impeccable service and attention to detail. The owner Mario runs the show and its fabulous!
Best Restaurant, excellent Italian cuisine. Excellent service, valet parking available, great atmosphere and friendly staff. The best choice for a pleasant Dinner.
This has to be one of the best small restaurants I have been to in a long time period Mario (the owner) pays attention to detail in his décor and food. It is refreshing to go to a place with beautiful ambience and delicious food.
Went last night for the first time, absolutely awesome service, awesome HOMEMADE pasta, wine. Baked clams almost as good as my moms(rest her soul) Tiramisu 👍👍👍. Rob LaRosa
Homemade charcutteri, home made pasta, home made wine. Welcome to Sicily 2.0. the food is good the place is old school sexy and its affordable. Gotta love Triangolo its old school at its best.
Very very good food, beautifully plated. Nice ambiance. Homemade pasta. All fine Italian dishes. Caring owner. Parking.lot.
LOL ! At first glance you say to yourself. Wow small but comforting. Then the owner Mario welcomes you like family and immediately sits you down and gives you these amazing chicken meatballs with bread you would have thought was made by angels. Now you feel at home and cant wait to order. My only regret was not going with 8 people so you could all order something different and try everything. Im a big Sicilian guy weighing in at around 350 and I left stuffed. If he had a couch , I would have been on it. The black linguini is by far the blackest linguini you will ever have anywhere with the most Flavor. I didnt share I shreadded through it like I hadnt eaten in a month. Leave your phones at home, you wont need them anyway. THIS PLACE IS A MUST WITH PEOPLE WORTHY OF MAKING MEMORIES WITH. BUONA PETITO !!
Mario treats you like youre in his home.From taking your coats to your ordersFood outstanding, carpaccio, osso buccoAll perfect....a great dining experience
Fabulous service, AMAZING food, lovely ambience. Had a family dinner with 3 generations and not a single complaint. Raves all around. Cant wait to go back.
Shriimp Arreganata with Linguini in Oil & Garlic + the Tomatoes with Mozerrala & Prosciutto & Olives & Panacota - All Delicious.
Wonderful. FOOD Delicious. Owners and wait staff very personal. MUST GO RESTAURANT.
During the pandemic, this great restaurant closed shop. There is a new owner now and I have not visited the place since before the pandemic so I cannot review the current experience.
Excellent. Owner and his wife are on staff, and run an amazing gem in Corona queens. Highly recommend, food is excellent book in advance :)
Mario and his staff are amazing and so is the food have been going here for years have celebrated many occasions here and Sunday dinners
Food was good, the ambience was very nice. Pricing was a but high but the service was very good. Try the homemade wine.
Good restaurants should have small menus. Food was very fresh.
Best food I have had in a very long time. The service they give here makes you feel like you at home having dinner.

I was there for a diner with my friends the serviced good but the food no I ordered a chicken franchise the chicken was so thick plus with boon I will never go back again peoples dont go waist your money there
Off the charts Italian food. Rustic charm. Not cheap. Street parking wasnt a problem
Mario will make you feel like you are in your own home and his wife makes all the pasta from scratch. Homemade bread too!
The food is exquisitely prepared and presented. The atmosphere both elegant and comfortable.
Terrific grilled calamari, Pasta Triangolo also wonderful. Excellent cannoli as well as the tiramisu.
Amazing place! Everything was so delicious!
We love this authentic charming restaurant. We have become regulars. Cant recommend it enough. Marty

Excellent quality authentic food. Pierina, Mario were amazing!
I cant say enough about this family owned restaurant. Italian cuisine at its best.
Excelent food. You must ask the chef/owner for his hometown wine.
I drove an hour and a half in rush hour traffic to eat here and the restaurant was empty when I arrived with my family, but was refused to be served because my son was wearing shorts on a 90 degree day.
They treat you like family here. Girlfriend had birthday here, and it was great.
Excellent food and service bit pricey but worth every penny

Elegant restaurant, delicious food, Venizian atmosphere, music and good service. Recommended !!
Very well-kept restaurant and Bronx-style characters with Chazz Palmentieri😎. Good but Italian-American non-Italian dishes. American exaggerated seasoning of courses. Then a heartfelt advice: nooooooooo the cheese on spaghetti with mussels ... 😱😱😱😱😱🤢 !!!! The owner mr. Mario very nice, folkloristic and very elegant but be careful .... he becomes an angry bull 😡🤬😡 if you use your cell phone in his club. MOBILE PHONES OFF !!! Anyway, a good Italian-American restaurant in NYs Queens.
Pathetic, they did not take care of us because we were with a child, we went in and nobody even came to meet us, when we went a little to sit down it was that the innkeeper went over and told us that they could not take care of us (the place was empty only one full table ) and he sent us to another restaurant that could help us, but really in a very contemptuous way.

2022-03-21Specials are nicely prepared.Pasta is homemade. Had a very tasty Rib eye steak, temp was spot on. Friendly service and attentive. The homemade wine is very good. Will be back again soon.

2022-01-23My wife and I decided to forego Manhattan and stay local in queens. To our surprise this gem was hidden in Corona. The decor was a little rustic but but lovely. The restaurant appeared clean, friendly staff and nice music. The homemade wine and bread were very tasty. Perfect setting for a date night or family dinner. I would recommend this restaurant.If I had to knit-pick- may be the bread could have been toasted (I assume it’s possible on request).

2022-04-19I loved to come to this Italian restaurant before the pandemic. It was very homey and classy (but not too fancy for the sake of being fancy). The food was always delicious, and the atmosphere was top-notch as well. It was my go-to spot for dates. I cant wait for my next reservation, and hope the Mario family is doing great too. So glad to know it is reopened.

2021-11-27I am so glad they opened Il Triangolo back up. Classsic Italian restaurant in the heart of Corona, Queens.What are they known for? In my opinion, their homemade meat sauce is to die for. I ordered the chicken Marsala, and lemme tell you, most Marsala I’ve had is salty, but Il Triangolo got it right. Hint of the red wine, along with well cooked tender chicken and three types of mushrooms.Wife ordered the Fruitti di Mare, the seafood was fresh, the pasta almost al dente. Very well cooked.Staff was friendly and they really do treat you like a long lost friend. Do I recommend it? There’s a reason why they got 5-stars from me.Try it once, I can guarantee you’ll go back again.

2022-03-06Celebrated my husbands 65th birthday last night. We were a party of 15. Food and service were top notch. Everything was so fresh. We had it all, pasta, rib eyes, pork and fish absolutely delicious. If youre a lover of baked class, this is the place. All pastas made fresh, excellent. Huge shout out to Julio who took care of us, he was fabulous. We will certainly go back back!!!!!

2022-05-14The first time i went in i thought it was a cute little place. Cozy and quaint. I read the sign with rules and i liked it. Phones on vibrate, no caps , hoods and all phone calls taken outside.The original owner Mario hit pay dirt marrying an amazing chef. Everything is fresh and made in house. From house made wine , everything in between, to all the desserts are made in house. Not bought from bakeries. Yes even the bread!!!When Mario and his wife retired i was reluctantly debating to return to this restaurant. To my surprise, this new husband and wife team knocked it out of the park. Sticking to the standards set forth by the previous owner and raising the bar to a new level. I strongly suggest you come hungry. It will not disappoint you. My personal favorite is a pan fried chicken sorrentino for a main dish , fried calamari and definitely need to have the Black linguine!!!!!! To die for!!!!

2021-07-25Delicious Food!A classic Italian restaurant that, food and service are all excellent. Make sure you ask for shrimp tapas and the classic carbonara pasta, OMG delicious! very juicy and full of flavor. It’s impressive that everything are homemade (bread, sauce, pasta and the bacon is also prepared there) they also have gluten free and wheat pasta as part of the menu. Excelente wine list ask foradvice/suggestion to pair the right wine with you dish. Place is lovely, clean, friendly staff, great service, great food. Really good restaurant thoroughly recommend.

2022-02-13I would do 0 stars if I could, but I cant so I will warn you about this place. I very rarely write bad reviews but this place was so horrible on all fronts. The atmosphere, the food, and the service were all exceptionally poor. I will break down each category below:Atmosphere: Dont head here for a romantic Italian dinner unless you want to listen to salsa music and snappy waiters.Food:The sopresseta was average at best and there were multiple inedible pieces of meat in the sauce.The signature dish Chicken Frangelico tastes like sweet and sour chicken with soggy bacon on it.Service: WORST OF ALL my partner booked 3 weeks in advance for a table in the backroom and they lost our reservation. Someone had a wonderful idea to put a table for two directly next to the kitchen door. This is a great experience if you want to feel like you are working in a kitchen on your valentines day weekend.Our servers switched in the first 5 minutes, we ordered and the food came out and they never checked in again.I asked they take the food away and for the check.THEN WE WERE HELD HOSTAGE FOR 20 MINUTES BECAUSE THEY TOOK SO LONG TO BRING THE CHECK.It is torture to be stuck in a restaurant were everything is bad and we cant even get out.Here is your warning, dont go here. There are plenty of Italian places in New York and this is one you dont need to visit
