Diner Reviews
  • "Good neighborhood Italian. Bright and crowded tables. Better for lunch. Outdoor seating in warm weather."

  • "The waiters werent very nice and the menu wasnt very extraordinary for the brunch but tastes were good."

  • "A very nice and small pretty restaurant right by Beacon Theater! A good plus was there were many food choices especially pizzas. I had the crabmeat ravioli with lemon sauce which was delicious! My friend had chicken piccata which was also good as well! We both shared the chocolate bomb dessert which was a pleasant because it was very light and it did not make us feel even more stuffed after our meal. The portions were reasonable for one person but the pizzas are good to share with the table. One huge negative was they overcharged my friend's credit card 3x. But she was able to get her refund three days after talking to the manger in person the night after we ate there. They even offered her a glass of wine while waiting which was nice."

  • "My group was not disappointed! The lady who seated us immediately recognized our name from the Open Table reservations list. The ambience was perfect for what I wanted, joining up with a family member from long ago. The food was excellent, the service was great and a nice wine list. We were not rushed, the atmosphere was perfect, not too formal yet not too casual."

  • "Tight tables and sparse goat cheese on my goat cheese sala made me think this place is just fine, nothing special despite its cute name."

  • "I went to this restaurant with a group of 6 for lunch. The seating was a bit tight, but everything else was excellent. The bread and olive oil were of noticeably high quality, the food was delicious and fresh, and the service was just fantastic. I would highly recommend this restaurant for groups, or even just couples looking for a little up-scale gem."

  • "Decent outing but our clothing smelled terribly after eating here. They need to do something about the ventilation."

  • "Cozy neighborhood café with an Italian menu that wasn't typical. Service and food were excellent. Will go back."

  • "Definite neighborhood gem! Wonderful waitstaff. Nice selection of wines. And each entree was delicious! The one slice of pizza I couldn't finish was even better the next day."

  • "great food, bad service. each time i eat here the check is incorrect (always in their favor) -such a waste"

  • "We have been to this resturant many times and usually have had a good meal. Twiice the service was bad, and the last time it was horrible. We waited over 30 minutes for our food and it would have been more if I had not said something. Bread was not delivered until afetr the food was delivered and then it was because I asked for it. Portion was small.Three of the ceiling lights were blinking on and off and after all the staff stared at them for a while (instad of waiting on tables) they finally were turned off. I do not know if they were actually turned off or if they burned out. (That is reason for my checking that the ambience was poor.) We will not be going back to this restaurant for quite a while."

  • "The food at Gina La Fornarina was good, but was not memorable compared to the tight seating experience we had. The staff was very much aware that we were not thrilled with where we were seated, but didn't do anything to make the experience more bearable. There were not many options for groups of 4 or larger at this restaurant, and I was sandwiched between the table and a corner pillar. They really read to rethink their seating, as it really affected the experience."

  • "Got there a few minutes early and my table by the window was ready. The others arrived soon after and we had a nice relaxing meal, good food and wine and nobody rushed us out. The outdoor tables looked like fun but glad we ate in the relative quiet of inside. Will recommend to others and go back myself."

  • "Staff was very nice, but pacing was off - seemed overwhelmed by brunch crowd. Food was uneven - while tomato/mozzarella/basil panini was flavorful, poached salmon salad and prosciutto crudo panini weren't."

  • "Good experience. Food was fine, nothing special. Service was slow to start and then was intermittant. The waiter was very nice but we were somewhat ignored."

  • "Gina La Fornarina exceeded my expectations - delicious gnocchi - lovely desserts - good service and cheerful ambiance. I'll return!"

  • "It is a small place. Crowded but filled with family and friendly atmosphere. Homey cooking. Portion is not big but food tasty. We ordered salmon and steak. Good presentation and good taste. Service friendly."

  • "We had a great time at Gina La Fornarina, West Side. Went for dinner before the Beacon Theater. It was close and convenient. The food was fresh and delicious. Enjoyed Caprese salad with bread then main course, Pistachio crusted Mediterranean sea bass in cooked white wine over broccoli rabe. Food was great, portions were very good & the prices reasonable. The pink tule in the windows is a bit cheesy, but the inside is nice. I would definitely go again."

  • "Great food, very cute, but very very small and crowded. We were uncomfortably squashed in to our table in the window corner. Of course, it did not help that both my friend and I are a bit on the chubby side.....but I would go back again."

  • "Pizza was decent. Gnocchi was very good. Service was awful, but maybe it was our waiter. We had to repeatedly ask for our water glasses to be filled, and when we wanted to leave we couldn't even find our waiter to ask for the check, and when we finally did, it took another 10 minutes while he cleaned up tables instead of getting our check."
