About the restaurant

One of the oldest and most historic bars in the country, Neir’s Tavern is a destination for a casual drink, a hearty meal, and good company. Over 180 years old, Neir’s was home to Mae West’s first performance, scenes from Goodfellas, and countless other remarkable moments in history. Today, it still holds up to the same charming, laid-back, neighborhood bar that holds a special place in New Yorkers’ hearts.

Service was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed a large house salad, chicken sandwich and the best Goodfellas burger with delicious French fries. The Wise Guy cocktail is always my favorite and the beer choices are excellent. We can't wait to go back. It is a great place to meet up with friends or come to see one of their special presentations.

I LOVE the drag show at Fresco’s! It’s the best!! I have also had dinner and lunch there on separate occasions and the food was delicious, great tacos. The sangria was ON POINT, and def delivers a great buzz! lol! My only disappointment this time around was that I ordered the churro French toast and despite letting my server know that I wanted my eggs cooked well with crispy bacon, my order did not come out that way, my friend had the same issue with her order and when she asked if the eggs could be cooked more,the waiter was visibly annoyed and told her it would take 20 minutes. I did not eat the eggs or the bacon on my plate. I don’t usually complain about things like this but if I ask for my food a certain way it’s because I like it that way, and I always let the server know when I order so I won’t have to send things back, as I know it adds work to an already busy kitchen.Everyone else at my table received their food the way they ordered it and were pleased with their meals, guess I won’t order that dish again. I will def return because I love this establishment and will always support, but I was underwhelmed with my meal this time around. Next time I’ll have the tacos!

About the restaurant

Our earliest childhood memories include making homemade tomato sauce in our Nonna’s driveway located in Corona, Queens. Being apart of five children, we all had our jobs. From cleaning bushels of raw tomatoes to jarring the sauce with fresh basil there was always enough made so you never left Sunday dinner hungry. Made at our family owned restaurant, Villaggio, you can now enjoy our family recipes. It’s the closest thing to our Nonnas driveway. “Come to Villaggio, where your treated like family” - Bon Apetito!

The food here is always great. I had the lamb and sea (lamb chops and shrimp) which was one of the specials. The lamb was cooked just as I asked (medium) and was a nice portion, along with 5 or 6 shrimp, mashed potatoes and broccoli. I also had the mussels for an appetizer, some of the best I have had. Everyone at our table was too full for dessert. In fact, 3 out of the 5 of us took home leftovers. Nick’s Bistro remains one of our favorite restaurants both for the food and the value, as well as the friendly, attentive wait staff.

The food was delicious and the service wonderful, as always. However, I was a bit disappointed that they were out of a few items that we usually order. We always start with the mussels frites, but not this time. They were out of them. Instead we ordered the calamari, which was delicious and tender, but not what we were planning on and looking forward to. For the main course we all ordered pizzas, which were delicious and the main reason we come. For dessert we would have ordered 3 tartufos, but they only had 2, which is what our waiter told us they had started the evening with, so I guess we were lucky to get those. They were also out of tiramisu. We also had an order of chocolate chip cookies and our waiter was nice and added a couple of extras to the plate so that there were enough for everyone to share. We would definitely return here, but it would be nice if they weren’t out if so many of our favorite menu items.
