Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Elmhurst

We had an amazing experience at flex mussels! We ordered the scampi, lobster roll, truffle fries and had brownie as a dessert. Our server Janelle was really sweet, nice and helpful. The restaurant is pretty crowded though and it’s very noisy inside, so we decided to sit outside. They do have heaters, but it wasn’t as warm as inside - so it’s up to you! I felt a little bit cold in the end. Overall, it was a nice experience and will be back to try the Diavolo mussels!

Best onion soup! Delicious mussels and fabulous fries. Lovely service staff

The staff were very cordial and helpful and the food was just right for our lunch. Will definitely bring friends and colleagues there in the future.

Our regular go to Italian restaurant in nyc for 10 years. What sets this place apart is not only the quality of the food, but the variety from which to choose. Whether it’s meatballs and spaghetti, bolognese ragu, seafood pasta, vongole and other choices, it’s always top notch. You can even order off the menu if they have the ingredients in house and it’s not too crowded. I get my chicken Parmesan this way or a vegetarian fettuccini primavera. Plus, you’re free to bring your own wine on Mondays and Tuesdays with no cover charge! We’ve been to many many Italians restaurants in Manhattan, and no where is the food as good as this. See you next Tuesday. P.s. they have a full bar with cocktails and a great variety of wines if you prefer that. Service is good too.

Sweet place with a great atmosphere. Staff was friendly and attentive. Endive salad was superb. Octopus fresh and well presented. ONLY criticism- leave the croutons out of the squash soup- no need.
