Radici

This place was absolutely amazing! Honestly one of the best new places in Forest Hills. I actually made a reservation for 7 people, but then I cancelled because I just wasn't sure if it was going to be 7 people by that time. They called me back, but I was having service issues so I wasn't able to call them back. When I saw that, i thought WOW they really cared that I cancelled the reservation and I felt so bad that I cancelled =( Anywho fast forward and I was hungry. I had some family that was visiting so I suggested that we go. I only had 3 other members with me and I wanted to take them somewhere nice, so I was hoping when we went that we would just walk in. When we walked in, the space was small but quaint and cozy. I asked for a table for 4, but I also explained that I made a reservation earlier and cancelled. I met the owner Arthur, who knew who I was and I was REALLY SURPRISED. He ended up giving us some champagne on the house and did a cheers with us. He was so polite and introduced himself and shook our hands which is unlike a lot of service that I get. He arranged for us to get a table and THAT WAS SO APPRECIATED seeing as we were walk ins. We were seated and immediately taken care of. We ordered our food and the waitress Nina explained all the specials to us. They constantly filled our water glasses and just made sure we were ok. Now the food was absolutely amazing! i ordered the octopus with hummus and grilled vegetables for an appetizer and IT WAS EVERYTHING! So delicious and i had the chicken francese for my main course and ofc that was delicious! Next time I will see if I can have with some linguini or fettucine but the overall dish was delicious! My brother and his wife had something similar and nothing ws left on the plate. While we were seated, Arthur really made it a point to make sure we were ok. My sister wanted something sweet and they made her something she would like. Arthur came over and explained that they were a new restaurant, so he really cared that I cancelled but overall appreciated that I still came. He even let us try a limoncello he made himself which was a nice touch! The service me and my family received was top notch in my opinion. It had a personable touch and everyone seemed like they wanted to be on their P's and Q's with service. I will definitely be visiting again very soon!

My fiancé and I visited Radici last night, and we were pleasantly surprised. I must admit that I am quite a hard person to please, especially when it comes to dining, so I’m thrilled to say that this was a good experience and a great addition to the neighborhood. The owners were warm and welcoming, the food was excellent, and they were very open to feedback, which I really appreciated. While we were dining, there was a party happening on one side, and a few tables on the other. We chose to sit at the bar. Overall, it was a lovely experience, and I will definitely return. Thank you, Arthur, for your hospitality. Best wishes!

I had the rigatoni alla vodka and it was absolutely fabulous. I was full and took the rest home for dinner. The owner came up to me and my family, and we felt right at home. Lovely man and owner! He even ended the night with dessert on the house.

The owner was super friendly. Tiramisu was the best I've had in a while! Def don't miss out on it.

I'm excited to see a new restaurant rejuvenate the neighborhood after so many restaurants in the area did not survive the covid impact. Radici has a cozy industrial feel with exposed brick, visible vents, and reclaimed wood tables; it merges rustic and modern extremely well. The staff are all very friendly and we even met the owner, Arturo, who goes out of his way to make his customers feel welcome. The food is absolutely superb. The pasta tasted so fresh and the sauce reminded us of what our Nonna would've made, it's really a nice and bright Neopolitan sauce. We normally don't order dessert but how can someone pass on a Nutella calzone topped with fresh strawberry slices? The dough was so light that it makes me want to return for a savory calzone. Arturo recommended an Italian Moscow Mule which tastes like homemade hard lemonade and the old-fashioned was the best one I've ever had. This will be my new special dinner spot!

We tried Radici today and were extremely happy and satisfied with our experience. Family owned, amazing quality food, great service, and great value. From appetizers to desserts, we were very impressed with everything we ordered. We will definitely be going back again! Wishing this local spot all the best to come!

Amazing Italian spot! The food was delicious, the cocktails were excellent, and the fried calamari with shrimp appetizer was my favorite—perfectly crispy and full of flavor. Great service and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Definitely coming back!

It’s been a very long time where I was greeted with such great hospitality. The owner had come over and pushed a second table over so we could have more room, without us even asking. My husband and I ordered the octopus, tagliatelle bolognese, mushroom calzone, and the angel and devil pizza. We were floored by how amazing all the food was. Everyone in the establishment was warm, happy to help, always smiling, making us feel comfortable and wanted. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

The waiter was amazing. His knowledge of the dishes and recommendations were on point. The environment and food makes you feel like you are away from home. This place will be one that I will definitely return, even if I dine alone.

Grace Troncoso

Everyone loved the food! And the desserts simply delicious. Good cappuccino also and loved the mini biscotti! Perfect ending to our meal!

Michael Nathan

Had an incredible meal with amazing service recently at this hidden gem! The homemade bread that comes to the table was incredible. Appetizers and were perfect and quite sharable. Everyone we we were with loved the entries. Pasta was homemade, chicken and calamari were crispy.

There’s a simple elegance to being home. The flavors aren’t punchy. But sometimes they don’t need to be. The ingredients are fresh and the composition refined. It also helps that their hospitality matches their flavors.

Kit Rains

Absolutely delicious. Perfect ragu and vodka sauces! Loved my arugula and fennel salad, too. Find your way here.

We have been to Radici, the recently opened Neapolitan Italian eatery in Forest Hills, 3 times in the last two weeks. Each dish we’ve tried thus far has been delicious and we long for the next visit to sample other appetizer's, entrees, and more. The Chianti worked nicely with our meal and super excited they have Lambrusco. The owners & staff are all warm, friendly, and honestly make you feel like you are sitting in a restaurant in Italy. We haven’t tried any desserts yet but look forward to that as well. We can’t wait to share this place with our friends. Welcome to the neighborhood Radici and much success to you!

The nicest place you can have south Italian food. A nice place to date as well. The owner Arthur is such a nice chill guy. The waitress was kind. I loved here and will definitely go again

Ribeye was perfectly cooked . The tiramisu was delicious. Great service

What a charming place!! My colleague and I were visiting NYC and found this lovely Italian place in Queens! We had the best chat with the owner Arturo, he’s so friendly and warm, makes you feel like part of the family! The warmth, hospitality and ambiance was incredible! Shout out to Chef Very diligently working in the kitchen! All pasta is homemade and they have vegetarian friendly options!

Radici is our favorite local spot for authentic, fresh Italian food! We love their homemade pizza and pasta… one of only two pizzas in NYC that we truly love (the other is John’s of Bleecker Street). Our usual pizza orders are Diavola (my favorite), Margherita, Prosciutto and Napoletano calzone; for pasta, we love Rigatoni and Tagliatelle alla Bolognese, along with fried calamari. The Pollo alla Parmigiana is heavenly, and their Bistecca is a hit with my son. We enjoy Radici whether we sit in or get delivery, and we usually order delivery when we’re craving pizza. Everything tastes homemade and full of flavor!! Radici never disappoints!

Radici is one of the best italian restaurants I have been to in recent memory. The pasta with vodka sauce was incredible and the lasagna perfectly balanced. The pizza was some of the best pizza I’ve had in new york, the dough had the perfect give. The meatballs were delicious and the calamari was just lightly fried and seasoned so well. Ended with some in house limoncello, served by a super welcoming and professional staff!

My family and I went to Radici to celebrate my mother’s birthday. Arthur, the owner was incredibly attentive throughout the planning process. On the day of our event, the staff treated us like family, always asking us if what more they could do to make our experience better. Now, the food….EXCELLENT. You can tell that everything was freshly made with care. We left with our bellys full. Arthur even gave us dessert on the house to celebrate. Overall we had a 10/10 experience and will definitely be coming back.

It’s been a while since an Italian restaurant blew me away and this one was beyond words. The pizza dough was a dream, the calamari the freshest, the lasagna just perfectly meaty. You can tell there’s a lot of love behind the food and it radiates through the excellent service. 10/10 experience

I had an amazing experience at Radici! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and you can truly feel the love they put into every detail. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh ingredients, rich flavors, and beautifully presented dishes that tasted even better than they looked. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. If you’re looking for a place with incredible food, great service, and a cozy vibe, Radici is definitely worth it. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely meal here. The pasta was delicious and the sauces were well done. The risotto with branzino was executed well, risottos can be finicky and this one was delicious. Nice little wine list aimed at complementing the food. Dessert was great, both the pistacio cake and the tiramisu. We will definitely be returning to try the pizza etc.
