Best Italian Restaurants in Maspeth

I recently took my daughter to Lips NYC for her birthday, and it was such an incredible experience! I wanted to give her something special, and this place definitely delivered. The food was amazing—every dish we tried was delicious, and the drinks were spot on too. There was something for everyone, and it really set the tone for the night. The entertainment was the highlight, though. It was so much fun and full of energy! The performers were fantastic, and it honestly felt like a Broadway show. The crowd was so engaged, and we couldn’t stop smiling throughout the entire performance. To top it off, one of the performers, Lauren, was also celebrating her birthday that night, which made the event feel even more special and personal. I was surprised at how reasonable the prices were for the entire experience. For the quality of the food, drinks, and entertainment, it felt like a great value. And the staff was top-notch so friendly, and attentive, and really made us feel welcome from start to finish. My daughter loved it so much that she’s already said Lips will be on her list of places to visit every time she’s in NYC. If you’re looking for a fun night out with great food, drinks, and a show, I can’t recommend Lips NYC enough. It was everything we hoped for and more!

The food here is absolutely amazing! I'm already planning dates to go back! The octopus and branzino is definitely out of this world! Antonio also an amazing waiter with great insight for guests.

First visit can’t wait go back and try something different

Always a great neighborhood restaurant for good food. Service is always top notch. The food is always consistently good. Try their amazing desserts.

We had the best experience here!! The service was absolutely outstanding, as was the food!! We came to NYC for my 10 year old’s birthday, and she said it was the best pasta she’s ever had. We will definitely be back!
