With plenty of time before my next flight, and having survived solely on granola bars for almost twelve hours, I needed real sustenance. I have seriously bad karma when it comes to airport food, so I hemmed and hawed about where I should go. I was torn between Aeronuova, the nearby Deep Blue (sushi), or the adjacent La Vie (French cafe). So I asked myself: if I could only eat something out of a can right now, what would it be? (Yes, I realize that's a horribly low bar to set… but, again, this is airport food we're talking about, so I think it was a fair question).
My gut reaction?: Chef Boyardee ravioli (weird, but a craving is a craving, ayuh?).
So I chose Aeronuova.
The best parts were the:
a) my unexpected dinner companion (hearts to you, my friend)
b) service
c) speed
The not-so-bene parts were the:
a) service
b) speed, and because of that…
c) food
My mate ordered a pizza and some meatballs. The pizza looked alright (lies: I was actually lusting after his choice because it seemed so much better than my own… all that cheese and crispy dough), however they entirely forgot his meatballs (yes, they still put it on his check, my friend asked them to remove it, they did, issue resolved).
I ordered the ravioli. My server couldn't remember what I had ordered and had to come back to ask me. When I got my food, seven pasty looking ravioli in soupy tomato sauce (read: broth) arrived. Sorry, guys, but the ravioli seemed frozen. The corners of each pasta square had that weird hard, yet gommy texture. Blech.
Also… $3 for a seltzer water?! WHAT IS THAT?!
The lesson here? Don't ask yourself what you would eat out of a can. Just grab some fruit and cheese from one of the c-store type places and hunker down at your gate with a good movie and impromptu picnic.
It's what you'd expect from airport dining. Just meh. But I took it because what else was I to do during my layover, and I couldn't possibly eat another Kind bar. That was my life that long day of traveling. Protein, vegetables! My stomach was calling for that. I wanted real food. Sadly, didn't get the quality I was hoping for here.
I had the Caesar salad, which was intermixed with wilted and pale romaine. It was also overloaded with grated parmesan in addition to shavings of parm. I would have preferred just the shavings. I also had the chicken parm pizza. The crust was bland, sauce was ok, and it was topped with diced chicken fingers. The texture of the chicken was chewy and the breading wasn't crispy as I had hoped for. It mirrored a pizza that you'd through together at home with leftovers from the fridge.
Service was speedy, but the experience was less than stellar.
Came through JFK with enough time to sit down and eat dinner. It had been a long trip from SFO and I needed something more than a walk up sandwich station. Aeronuova seemed to fit the bill and it did. I ended up running into one of my coworkers who just flew in on the same flight. Even though I had already ordered, they quickly added a place setting for her and took her order as well. I enjoyed my pizza, but I think I was too tired to notice anything particularly special about it. It was good for airport food though.
Unfortunately, they forgot my side order of meatballs. By the time I realized, we already had our entree's. I assumed she forgot to put in the order on my ticket, but when the bill came it was listed on there. At that point, we had already been there a while and it was time for me to board my next flight. Instead, I had to have the correction made for the missing food and the other thing was that the waitress didn't even know they never came out. Really? It's airport food so the expectation isn't high. The food was decent enough for a return trip, but I would likely just head back to the giant Cibo station.
The food here was mediocre at best. I order the home run dish which included eggs any style, French toast, choice of meat, biscuit, and home fries. The eggs and sausage were the saving grace to this meal. The biscuit was burnt, dry, and crumbly- the trifecta of sinful baking. The home fries were undercooked and lacked seasoning. The French toast was decent but they served it with Kraft syrup in w sauce packet… If I'm paying $14 for this meal at an upscale restaurant with real flowers as a centerpiece, I was seriously hoping for better food.
The nail in the coffin was the service. I was approached three times in 5 minutes if I knew what I wanted to order. It's 6:30AM and no one is around- what was the rush? I asked for water and waited 20 minutes. In that time I asked another waitress for water and she couldn't deliver either. The waitress had a bad attitude (ok I get that it's really early!) and just threw the check book onto my table without a word.
Pretty on the outside, disappointing experience. I wish I would've taken my $20 and had put it towards a McDonald's mcmuffin and an OJ.
Delicious food and decently priced for an airport restaurant. I had a 4 hour layover in JFK and decided to grab a bite to eat. After being in Morocco and eating Moroccan food for 2 weeks, I decided I wanted some Italian food. I got the bucatini with clams and was pleasantly surprised with how delicious it was. The sauce was flavorful and they were generous with the portions of clam and sausage. The sausage was a little hard and the bucatini was a little thick for my taste but it was still a great dish overall. I didn't have any troubles with the service. They took care of me and were prompt. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone flying through terminal 5 at JFK. Have at least an hour before your flight because my pasta did take about 15 minutes to come out.
What a wonderful breakfast we had today. Carraranza or waitress was terrific. The omelette was delicious as well as the quesadilla.
Before a long travel back to SF, I knew I needed something to carry me for the 6 hour flight I had coming. As I walked around the Jet blue terminal, the host encouraged me to eat at this restaurant. No questions asked, just come and join us, so I did. I got suckered. Surprisingly, it was decently priced with a delicious meal for an airport restaurant.
Con: the only down fall was the service. Maybe they were short staffed due to the holidays or they just weren't that good. I had to ask the waitress twice for lemon for my water and she never really stopped by to see how we were doing. When we needed to pay the bill to catch our flight and we mentioned that to her, she took her time.
Just for taste:
1. Bucatini and clams:
Very delicious! Be sure to stir the noodles very well before you eat. The sauce settles to the bottom and you wouldn't want to miss it smothered on your noodles with every bite. They were very friendly with the clams, more than expected. Best decision I made for the night.
Overall: if you have some time, grab a bite to eat here!
While waiting in my favorite terminal in the world, my flight was delayed so I grabbed dinner at Aeronuova. And aside from the douchy waiter, it was good.
I kept it simple and choose the pepperoni pizza. It was good. Tasted like the pizzas at Blaze.
The highlight of my meal was watching my waiter completely ignore an older woman who was dining by herself and give all his attention to a table of barely legal girls. The woman wanted her bill and this douchebag would scurry by her table and just hold up his hand that he'd be there in a second. But he never did. He was too busy getting water and whatever else the table of jailbait asked for. I finally had to yell at him because I was ready for my check also at this time. I then told him that the woman next to me had also asked for her's several times. He finally brought our checks.
Not sure if the rest of the staff is like this guy but it does affect my impression of a restaurant even if the food is good.
