We were not impressed this time around. We sat down and it took a while for someone to come over and start us off with drinks. We finally got drinks, which were great. We order the cheese board. It was very small from the last time we order it and the fritto misto had a few pieces. I didn’t see any shrimp or scallops. What a bummer. I order the pork saltbacca. It was okay. It was two small pieces of small and had a strange after taste. The mash potatoes were good. The fried pork chop we also ordered didn’t come with any starches or vegetables. Maybe everything was small because there was a lot of private parties going on. We ordered dessert which was okay. We had the pistachio tartufo, cappuccino, and a double espresso. We ordered lemoncello. I have to be honest I was very hungry after we left and was not impressed at all. The last time we were there it was amazing. Better luck next time.

Vetro is a GEM! We had a wonderful evening celebrating my husband’s promotion to a new job at work. This is a restaurant that adds special touches I don’t see others do. The team decorated the table, congratulated my husband throughout the evening, and they checked on us to make sure we were having a good time. Our waiter was excellent, the food was excellent, and the ambiance was excellent. The dessert at the end with sparklers- just wow. Seriously- we had a great time and know we’ll be back.

Vitro by Russo’s on the Bay is a favorite of mine for many reasons… The ambiance is soothing with soft lighting. The linens are soft and the table setting is just the right size for a comfortable eating experience. The chef cooks the most delicious appetizers of fried calamari and rice ball specials. The chef is spot on with the entrées of linguine with clams floating (yes floating) in a garlic white wine sauce and a scrumptious pesto spread grilled chicken cutlet with garlicky broccoli rabe and melted mozzarella on crusty bread roll. Their tiramisu is STELLAR!! Server (Mario) is conscientious, pleasant, knowledgeable and charming. Many many thanks from one happy and satisfied patron

A very pleasant surprise not far from JFK. Unexpected excellence. Great food, extensive choice of good quality wines, and excellent service from the team. We were staying at one of the local hotels around JFK and felt hungry but the reviews of all the hotel restaurants in the area were quite negative and so we widened the search to somewhere within a 15 minute drive and Verto's was an option and after reading the reviews we thought we would give it a try. It even exceeded our expectations. Must try the oven baked clams and Mixto Frito as starters. And on top of it all there was a special offer of 50% off all wines up to $250 per bottle. Couldn't resist and ended up topping off the great food with an amazing wine Tignanello 2018 that worked out at only $100 USD for the bottle. We will be back next time we are in the area for any reason.

Great service and ambience but the food is less than optimal and overpriced. Everything needed more salt. Seafood salad had seafood but missing garlic, celery, carrots, parleys. Lemon, olive oil. It was tasteless. Entrees we’re similar. Unfortunately it’s the only fine dining in southern queens and it was 12 degrees out. Not on the top of my list but only a backup for special occasions. What a shame
