Italian Restaurant in Forest Hills With Pinsa and Housemade Pasta

An Italian restaurant in Forest Hills with an airy, modern room, Radici serves fresh housemade pastas and Roman-style pinsa on Metropolitan Avenue. Start with the Angel and Devil pizza, which balances salty toppings and spice with a touch of honey.

Pasta fans can turn to the spicy Rigatoni con Salsa alla Vodka or the ravioli, both part of a kitchen that keeps the cooking straightforward and Italian. Save room for the housemade tiramisu with heavy cocoa, finished with a generous dusting that makes a sweet last course.

The spacious dining room pairs a clean, brown-toned design with a wine wall, and low background music leaves room for conversation. Attentive, fully staffed service keeps the evening relaxed, a fit for a group dinner or a casual neighborhood meal in Queens. Radici at 100-11 Metropolitan Ave opens daily at noon, closing at half past nine Monday through Thursday and at 10 PM Friday through Sunday.
