Taste of Italy Restaurant & Pizzeria NYC — Restaurant in New York

ordered for delivery a large cheese pizza and a penne pasta dish with red sauce. the good: came here very fast within 30 minutes to my door and the delivery guy was very nice and polite person. they took all the instructions i put into account regarding the seasonings to put on the side etc unlike some other places that ignore all together.. price is very good for the size of the pizza you get. soda plus large pizza for 12 bucks. The bad: as previous reviews have mentioned the food is TOOOO salty!..im not salt sensitive but man o man can you taste the salt...and ten minutes later when the food gets to room temp its inedible ..forget about eating it cold youll spit it out. i think its a combination of too much salt in their sauces because both my pizza and my pasta dish in red sauce was too salty..also cheese quality isnt the best , its the stuff that turns into leather in less than 5 to ten minutes and is salty. ..the crust is substantial but very chewey as well..maybe also ethnically there is some element of how much they salt their food. its good for a super hungry crowd that will finish the food in seconds so it does not taste so salty. ill ask them to make less salty next time but i think their base ingredients are super salted and high...

👎🏼🤐😫😕😖😠 Try AVELLIO RESTAURANT. THATS A REALLY GOOD, TRUE ITALIAN RESTAURANT, Rego Park 👍🤤 Those who gave the place a 4 or 5 star just happened to catch them on a good day. JUST WALK ON BY, NO LIE😫 Then if u look at the other reviews, people gave them a ONE STAR. MY FOOD WAS A REAL DISAPPOINTMENT😖😠 ITALIAN is just n the name. It's not a real Italian restaurant. My food was ordered by a friend. But I don't think they knew anything about the place b4 ordering the parmesan chicken dinner platter. There was very little sauce & cheese on the chicken and not much sauce on the spaghetti. The food was tasteless and worse of all, the chicken was thin & stringy (not the thick chicken breast). It was over cooked & hard to chew👎🏼 The place is n a Spanish populated area & Italian may not b their specialty. Even the other reviews say they hang up on u if u don't speak Spanish - So GO AT UR...

I ordered 2 pizzas for delivery, however when they arrived, it flattened to the point where all the cheese was just stuck to the box. Called the restaurant to explain what happened, and we ask for a refund thru the delivery service. Instead of apologizing or trying to making it right, they got upset we got a refund and asked of the pizzas back, which we obliged and left the 2 pies outside for them to pick up. And they really did come back to pick them up, not sure what they did with them which is sort of concerning for future deliveries and food safety. Won't be ordering...
