Located on Metropolitan Avenue in Forest Hills, an upcoming Restaurant row is La Vigna Restaurant featuring Chef/Owner Giuseppe Vitale’s masterful interpretation of Italian cuisine. With the walls painted in the warm golden tones of an Italian villa and huge wood framed mirrors which expand the intimate space, it is perfect for smaller dinner parties. La Vigna also features a beautiful wooden bar with an excellent selection of Italian and Californian wines.

Chef Vitale, born in Naples, was a chef for Lidia Bastianich for many years, learning the mastery of her techniques at Felidia, Becco and her original location in Forest Hills, Bona Via. La Vigna's cuisine combines the ingredients of traditional Italian home cooking with a sophisticated touch haute cuisine.

    Due to an absence in kitchen staff, service was overall slow! There was no Buss staff or bartender. Redeeming factor was certainly DELICIOUS food.

    Appetizers were very good and generous portions but a little pricey. Entrees were served on smaller dishes to appear more generous than they were.

    Overall, a very good meal and service. The shrimp was excellent and the mushroom pasta dish was as well. Our only complaint was that they served very stale bread - and that was unfortunate. But the positives far outweighed that one negative. We would go back.

    -upon arrival we were barely greeted. despite a half empty restaurant and having reservations our table was not ready -food took almost an hour to come out of the kitchen -we had to track a waiter down to find out where our food was. We never received an apology or explanation -food portions are small, overly salty, and overpriced. We also received the incorrect pasta with one of our dishes -table next to us left before their appetizers came out because it was taking too long. Staff then brought the appetizers out to an empty table and left them sitting there even though the couple wasn’t coming back Overall we had a very negative experience and will not be returning

    This neighborhood Italian restaurant is my go-to place to catch up with friends or have a quiet single or double date. All the offerings are wonderful. This last time I enjoyed the pasta e fagiole soup and sauteed filet of sole. All cooked to perfection. With a glass of cabernet and the delicious bread, it was a great prix fixe lunch. We topped it off with a shared tartufo. The place is decorated so beautifully for the holidays. I will go back soon.

    We had to flag down our waiter and ask him to take our order after waiting about 30 minutes. He was angry, and then, rather than taking our order, our waiter proceeded to spend another 10 to 15 minutes clearing tables (mind you that no new customers were waiting to be seated). We had to flag him down a second time to take our order. When the food finally came out, it was cold. We do not recommend this restaurant.

    Have had several relaxing days nights here. Tonight was very nice as usual. The ambiance is relaxed and cozy, the food is really great, and service is attentive and professional. We were offered drinks right away tonight with our water and served bread and butter while looking at the menu. Special asparagus appetizer was delicious as well as mushroom ravioli. Salmon and antipasto were also enjoyed. Wine was good and vodka drinks were strong.
