Don Roberto's Classic Italian

Great food and atmosphere! The service was friendly and courteous throughout. They offer a nice selection for lunch, dinner, and a happy hour that runs until 7:00 p.m., with excellent live music playing until 9:30pm on Fridays. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back soon!

This place is great for anyone looking for delicious authentic home style Italian cuisine. Came here for an early dinner Friday and had great service from Mitchell who took excellent care of us. The portions are very generous and we all took food home. Recommended dishes: Meatballs app and fried calamari. The Chicken parm and Shrimp parm were delicious as was a special entree made with mafaldine pasta and shrimp. The white sangria was also tasty and refreshing and they have a nice wine selection. Highly recommend this restaurant.

This restaurant gives you a very relaxed home feeling as soon as you enter. The service is friendly and attentive. The cuisine is traditional unpretentious southern Italian. We had an Octopus appetiser, Veal Marsalla and Chicken Scarpariello entrées. All wa excellent. We will be going back to try other items on the menu and we're sure they will be as good as these dishes. It was superb.

My family and I came here, and I absolutely love this spot. Rob did an amazing job creating a 2nd restaurant. The inside of the restaurant was beautiful and I loved the decor. The menu had a lot to offer and was all set at great prices. On the table, the waiter brought out garlic knots and fochina bread . It came with olive oil that had olives and garlic in it and, of course, butter. It was very tasty and delicious. This is what we ordered : Calamari : Very fresh and delicious Cheese Pizza: Great size pizza to share it . We decided to get the 12 ', and it came with 6 slices. Chicken Francese: Great size , the chicken was very tasty . It came with roasted potatoes and vegetables. I wasn't able to finish it. Overall, everything was great, and I highly recommend coming here and checking them out. I can't wait to come back next time !

I was a little reluctant to try due to previous reviews but I'm glad we did. We came here around 615 on a Saturday, we had reservations but not too crowded. It did get crowded as evening went on. Service was great, waiter was personable. Food was delicious, one gues ordered the special pistachio lambchops and Sue commented how amazing they were. A happy birthday song for desert and some yummy deserts. The menu had some typical Staten Island items, shrimp scampi, pizza, chicken parm etc but then also had a tuna app special, lamb chops, pork chops, calzones, and hamburgers which 2 guest commented were delicious!!! It definitely is a must try, everyone left full and happy with their meals. Pricing is typical for the times, drinks were good and not watered down, friendly staff. We will be back.

Delicious food, a pleasant atmosphere, lovely decor, and friendly service.

We got takeout on Saturday night after participating in the Fence Show @ Snug Harbor. It was our 1st experience with the restaurant and we were very impressed. Our order consisted of a Caesar salad, artichoke salad, and two eggplant rigatoni dishes. Everything was so tasty. I love how they packed the food so it would stay fresh- dressing on the side and burrata in small cups. The portions were huge too! We live in Brooklyn but we will definitely return! If the food is that good to go- it must be amazing when you dine in.

Superb in every sense of the word. Everything was fresh, and the quality of the food was outstanding. The atmosphere was great, and the service was randomly on point- they even made a special cocktail for us upon request! Line should be out the door, quite honestly; truly a hidden gem 💎

First time visit. It was extremely pleasant. The staff were attentive without hovering. The food was perfect.

We moved to New Jersey 10+ years ago, but every so often we go back to Staten Island for dinner and to visit friends. A buddy of mine recommended this place and it was nothing short of excellent. If you’re looking for a classy restaurant with good food, drinks and service, then this is your spot. I wish I had taken pictures but everything was excellent. I hope this place is around for a long time.

This restaurant is incredible. The food here is simply amazing, tastes fresh and so good every time. I love the atmosphere, it feels so cozy and just nice. The service is great, and they always make it a point to check in and make sure you’re satisfied with everything. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone! It’s definitely become one of my favorites.

Had a great experience. Great food and service. Beautifully designed restaurant. Ordered spicy rigatoni and linguine with meat sauce. Also got a salad and pasta fagioli. Big portions at least for me had me wrapping it up and eating it again for dinner. Everything was perfect. If you're in the area definitely stop by!

Highly recommend giving Don Roberto's a try and i'm sure you won't be disappointed. Caesar salad was excellent, pizza was great and the lunch sandwiches were a pretty good deal!

Solid Southern Italian cooking. Great atmosphere great food. Everybody was happy and the portions were large enough to get a second meal. I Love New York Italian restaurants!

On Sept 17 we had a birthday celebration. I ordered the chicken cutlet parmigiana aka Don Roberto’s chicken parmigiana. The chicken was so tough and leathery. Very difficult to cut. In fact the knife was useless. I couldn’t complain but my friend also agreed. The chef made it so thin and overcooked it as well. Very dry. And tough

Poor food Quality . Rice balls had a fishy taste and lacked flavor. Octopus over done and a tiny portion. Better off at BESOS... Nice bar vibe, well made cocktails. Everything else Disappointing 🙄 and overpriced, 2 cocktails and 2 appetizers over$110...bailed out for the main course.

Visited last Saturday, since I’ve heard good reviews about this place. The appetizers and everything was good until we got our entrees. Two bites into the chicken parm, my fiancée bit into a huge piece of plastic. They apologized and remade the food but by then the mood was ruin and our appetite was gone. They gave us free cannolis which weren’t good and charged us full price for everything. Sadly, we won’t be returning here.
