    My rigatoni pasta dish. Very good
    Tom B.

    The best thing about this place is the food. Surprisingly, it was some of the best, if not the best, airport food I have ever had... for a price. It is located in Terminal 5 at JFK and conveniently located in the center of activity, although there is a cordoned off area protecting you from the masses and adjacent open food hall. The restaurant is primarily Italian food focused, which is fine. We were seated right away, but other than bribing out the food, the servers just stood around. What's very quirky and annoying is that you not only have to go through a QR code to see the menu but also need to sign up and join 'OTG' . So, you need to set up an account to order and pay! Ridiculous. A waitperson did come over and asked if we were having a problem and had a tablet, so there must be other ways to order (?) We were too deep into the sign up at that point. When the food arrived we were more than pleased. The quality was excellent, and the portions were quite adequate. We shared a salad, and I had a rigatoni that was delicious. Fresh pasta and well dressed with sauce. My other half had a chicken parmesan sandwich. We had a glass of wine, Merlot, at $15. each. The entire bill came to $110. High, yet satisfying for the quality. The use good quality plates and glassware.

    Julie seated us right away. You scan the bar code and order with your credit card. Our water was brought over right away. The calamari was better than most restaurants that I have had it before. Not oily and the spicy peppers were a nice addition. The margarita pizza was fair. Not bad, not amazing. Could have been hotter with the addition of spices to flavor it up. We did finish it, so what does that tell you. There are many restaurants in this area. Julie had us in and out. Hope you have a good experience too.

    Pretty basic Italian eatery. Service is good. Wines are severely overpriced ($27 a glass, seriously?) and the glass I got was not good (as in they have kept the bottle open for too long and the wine was not fresh). Their food is ok but you cannot even get a side salad. Very inflexible for the high price you pay. Would not recommend unless (like me) you have a very long layover at JFK and nothing else to do. My fork was metal, my knife was plastic.... I guess because it was the airport?

    When we first sat down, we were the only customers so we thought we would be served relatively fast. Service was very slow. The pizza needed more sauce and more cheese. It took a long time to be served a thin pizza and after finishing the pizza, we had to wait another 20 minutes for the chicken parm sandwich.

    Spaghetti, burrata with mostarda and grilled bread (the burrata was bigger than it actually appears here cuz of the angle I took this at).

    My partner and I were delayed on a flight with a mechanical issue and went here when we were told at Caribbean Kitchen that they weren't open yet. A very friendly waiter of Asian descent seated us with the advice that there was still 5 minutes to go before the kitchen was open. My partner is a big pasta fan, and I just wanted to sit down somewhere that wasn't a bar and eat something that wasn't out of a plastic box. She ordered some type of spaghetti: She was deciding between three pastas with tomato sauce. I got the burrata with mostarda and grilled bread--whatever didn't sound too carb-y that wasn't a salad. Her plate came first (I'd have preferred our plates come out at the same time, but we weren't given the option). My burrata was nice and luscious, and my partner liked her spaghetti. We got metal forks but the knives were plastic: I'd have preferred being asked whether we needed the latter in the first place, they are a real waste. Maybe serve metal ones in plastic sleeves if you're trying to cut down on dishwashing labor? My waiter took back our straws with gratitude when we gave them back as we left: These should definitely be optional at this point in history. Sitting down and being fed away from fellow passengers, having the time to enjoy ourselves can't be underestimated. This may turn into our default go-to when we're at Terminal 5 in JFK: Deep Blue Sushi I'm sure is decent, but it makes no sense to serve raw tuna and cooked shrimp when they're all overfished at this point.

    It honestly kind of sucks to be giving this place a low rating because Aeronuova used to be my go-to for food in Terminal 5 at JFK. It's been probably 2 years since I was last here and it feels like things have gone downhill in terms of how they run this place. My biggest problem is how it takes 30mins to crank out a pretty average breakfast at an airport restaurant. This place definitely won't work for those trying to catch a flight in an hour or so with how slow things go here. Service was actually pretty friendly but the sad part is how management can pretty much make one lady work the entire front staff service, from seating to serving to getting the bill and to cleaning tables... like I never saw one other person doing the job. Kudos to the lady juggling all those things but management needs to just hire more people. And it's not like they aren't getting business... in fact they had to turn away people from how backed up they were in flipping tables. Food-wise, it also was very average. This was my first time trying their breakfast, which would be a hard pass for me in the future here. Can't comment on the lunch dishes, which I've enjoyed in the past but don't know if that's also gone downhill since. I never want to settle for a mediocre to-go sandwich but that honestly would be a better pick than trying to eat here if you're in a hurry. I think I'll most likely skip this place the next time I'm back in T5 and try to find a better option.

This was the closest dining establishment that served alcohol by our gate, so we stopped by. It is pretty small and cramped, but we managed to find two seats along the window facing the planes. It was hard to fit in the area as people tend to put bags on seats, etc. Plus the walkway to the kitchen is right there so you feel like you are in the way. Food wise, I liked my salad. Could have done without the chips as I really just wanted greens, veggies, and protein. For $26, it was obviously on the smaller side, but hey, it's an airport resto. My drink was all right. Kinda weak in the liquor and spice department, but fine for sipping. My friend seemed to enjoy his food and cocktail. I wish there were more options in this area of the airport.

The hostess greeted me warmly and allowed me to browse the menu at my leisure without feeling rushed. The seating was spacious, and the self-serve bar area offered plenty of room. The decor and vibe evoked an early 60s charm, though the playlist featuring early 2000s hits was a quirky mismatch, yet, honestly, it grew on me and seemed to add a lively edge to the meal. The menu was straightforward, offering a tempting selection of chicken sandwiches and biscuit dishes. After some thought, I settled on the chicken ranch, it was ready in less than five minutes! The "Porch Sipper" drink was delightful; I ended up ordering a second, as its flavors transported me to open Kentucky fields, sitting on a wraparound porch on a warm summer day, savoring the music and gazing at the blue summer sky. The experience was truly immersive. And I must say, the staff radiated positive energy, they seemed genuinely happy to be there, which makes a difference when dealing with thousands of travelers daily.

It was also drenched in so much mayonnaise that I couldn't eat it. Get yourself a turkey and cheese sandwich from the grab and go and be thankful that you did.

I highly recommend arriving at the hotel ahead of time and exploring the beautiful location. The hotel is quite a sight to behold- packed with TWA history, designed in that beautiful retro aesthetic, and a lovely reminder of the golden age of flying. Walking around the hotel and exploring the gift shop might have been my highlight. At the pool, they're pretty strict about the timing and the lobby got pretty crowded right before the scheduled time. The pools itself is relatively small, warm, and shallow. We got some IPAs on tap (around $10 each), hung out in the pool, and watched the planes. I was a bit surprised but the overall crowd there. Lots of families with splashing children and people that really just seemed to want to be by a pool and didn't care about that specific location. Didn't necessarily expect so many people to spend money and come all the way to JFK without caring for planes but ofc that's up to them. Just something to keep in mind if you choose to come here. They also don't have changing rooms so you might want to wear your swim clothes or you'll have to change in the bathroom. I would give the hotel a 6/5 and the pool a 3/5.
