Bario's is a local Pizza Parlor in a small overcrowded strip of stores in Heatland Village. It was recently redecorated and hundreds of photos that once grace it's walls were removed. It is much more subdued now, done in quieter tans and browns, hopefully to cater to a less noisier and slightly ol...

my favorite place in staten island. kinda pricey but never lets you down. great for special occasions.
Went to this restaurant over a year ago and it was nice. Wen't back again about 4 weeks ago and it just wasn't the same. The food was nothing to write home about. The on the way out I asked one of the folks who worked there if they had changed owners. The guy said no they just changed chefs. Wow, wh...
The best pizza on Staten Island, the two brothers who own this pizzeria have done their best work for over the last 20 years. They don't deliver because their pizza is so good people go running to them. Avoid the line-up on Friday afternoon, but even if you have to wait online it's worth it!
Best Pizza on Staten Island (that's right, better than Denino's). I've been ordering from this place for 25 years. The place is always packed. The Pizza is delicious - has just the right amount of ingrediants, sauce, cheese, always cooked to perfection. BTW, NO DELIVERY - Eat in or Carry Out.
I live nearby and went for lunch with my daughter. She said her meal was good but I ordered chicken & shrimp scampi lunch special and it was awful. Not only were the shrimp & chicken very spicey (tasted like they had been dipped in red hot sauce, didn't taste garlic so it certainly didn't taste lik...
SI friends suggested this very pretty, clean , friendly resturant. well worth the toll. food & service was excellent--hostess & bartender very friendly--no attitudes in this place. we made reservations for 12 for next week & booked a holiday party for 85 in the party room.. I have been bragging abou...
Mediocre dining experience at best. Don't bother with delivery. I live 2 blocks away, have ordered from this place a couple of times. Each time delivery took close to an hour and the Pizza was cold and undercooked.
very disappointed in the appetizer which was hot antipasto for two not enough on the plate and the shrimps were very tiny so was the eggplant ,mushrooms and clams for the money.My entree was filetmignon and very very thin cut .Also the vegetables were frozen not fresh. My plate was served to me luk...
A run in grab a slice to go place or an icee to go! Not a place cozy enough for a sit down meal. Pizza is good, their ices are fantastic, lots of flavors, nice sit down area outside for the summer months, inside not so nice. Doesn't look that clean or cozy for that matter due to it being very small ...
La Roccas is one of the best places to eat on staten island. between the great food and almost 200 flavors of ices where could you go wrong? Try there great food and there famous Ices and Ice Cream.
usually like dimly lit restaurants but pretty sure this was dark because it was dirty. went there as a guest at a birthday party, felt sorry for the host who paid. the waitress was the worst i've experienced, what little time she was at our table,bossy and lazy. there was no discerning that what i w...
Where do I start? First off, I haven't been to Buona Pasta since the new owner took over. Which was over 2 years ago. My family and I used to go all the time, just for dinner during the week or for holiday dinners like Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. I made reservations a month in advance, due to i...
Buona Pasta is a Staten Island treasure. Located in Great Kills he food is exceptional and the value is unsurpassed. New Ownership has turned it round in less than 2 years. Great Sauce
I had Sunday dinner there with my family (6) people all together. This place has been here a very long time with faithful regulars. It's an old school experience with food and service that is good. The fried calamari and clams oreganato were delicious. When I asked if they can make a simple pasta bo...

obviously the last rater was competition from another local restaurnat. Portobello is excellent. Try for yourself. Go on a 2 for 1 so you don't spend that much to find out. You will love it.
Went Saturday evening 11/3/07. The appetizer was excellent. The main courses were terrible. I ordered the stuffed pork chop, it was brought out burnt to crisp. I sent it back and the replacement had no flavor. There is no chef in this kitchen, only line cooks. My wife's fish, a special, was drowned ...
What a horrible expierience, my family and I were dining and while we were eating, seated near the entrance to the kitchen we overheard screaming and yelling. The profanity was absurd we later learned that it was the owner Ive never been so turned off to a place in my life. A bunch of Kids running a...
