I have been to Queenstown a few times, both at the little Italy and UTC location and the little Italy restaurant has always been the best experience. High quality meat and fresh produce, the food and drinks exceed expectations. Loved the gingerbread house decor during the holidays as well but the decor is nice year-round.

Came on NY’s day for lunch. Food, ambience, and service were fantastic. There was an issue initially with the hostess getting our party seated even though we had a reservation. The hostess was not very receptive, reassuring, or service oriented it seemed. But the manager eventually got involved who was amazing and got us all situated. Norma was the sweetest. Would definitely come here again :)
