Il Triangolo: true Italian cuisine and culture
Befitting its name, Il Triangolo is uniquely positioned on the corner of Corona Avenue and Junction Boulevard, in Corona. This triangular building was built in the 1800s and is very rich in history. Angelo Gigliotti, an immigrant from Calabria, Italy, purchased the building in 1980, never thinking that more than 30 years later his son, Mario, together with the support of his family, would open a traditional Italian restaurant, filled with culture. You will be greeted by family when you enter, and immediately feel at home. Our meal started with a basket of hard-crusted bread, baked by Mario’s wife, Pierina, who does all the baking and makes the pasta fresh daily. Accompanying the bread was a spread of sundried tomatoes, black olives, anchovies and extra virgin olive oil. The flavors blended together perfectly. It was hard not to make a meal of this alone.

- Alba Ristorante and Pizzeria, a Queens gem not to be missed
- Posted: January 19, 2012

Tucked in behind the already renowned Alba Ristorante and Pizzeria, I found a treasure.Stepping into the dining room on a Thursday night reminded me of my own Italian family gatherings: a room filled with music, laughter and an abundance of food.
We were welcomed by the owners, and most gracious hosts, Giacomo (Jack) and ZinaVirdone, who have been greeting their guests for over32 years, here at Alba. Originally from Sicily, they have certainly brought that old-world charm to Queens.

- Maria’s Seafood offers wide spectrum of delights

There are lots of songs about Maria — like the ones from “The Sound of Music” and “West Side Story” — so consider this restaurant review another paean to a different Maria, this one from Bayside.
Maria’s Seafood, a Greek fusion restaurant at 38-11 Bell Blvd. in Bayside, is named after the matriarch of the family-run restaurant, Maria Petridis, and she has quite a story to tell. Joining her in the business, which opened almost a year ago, are her husband, Gary, and son, Tommy.
