Lonely Planet review for Roberto Restaurant
Just off Arthur Ave (the ‘real’ Little Italy), Roberto has a great reputation; its fans swear, with frightening passion, that it’s New York’s – not just Belmont’s – best Italian restaurant. There’s a no-reservations policy, so as the night wears on, lines congregate by the bar – for hours. It’s well worth it. Ask for the chef’s choice, and Roberto – hilariously festive – comes by and lights up your table with dish after dish of Northern Italian specialties, including swordfish steaks and veal cutlets. In nice weather, sidewalk seating is the way to go.
