Katherine M.April 18, 2015"Classic and classy Queens spot delivering fresh pastas (get the Tagliarini L'Incontro: fresh spaghetti w/ asparagus and peas, wrapped in prosciutto), seafood, and other standards done the right way." Read more
Lizzie MartinSeptember 7, 2019I am gluten free so going to an Italian restaurant is a bit stressful but the servers made sure I had enough starters and they have a wonderful gluten free pasta that works with any of their sauces.
Cris Repolês . ComMay 16, 2013Absolutely amazing, come and have a party with your taste buds!!! Every time you get something you think: Wow, this is the best dish ever!!! Until another one comes and knocks your socks off!!! :p
James H.September 15, 2018We started with zucchini flowers deep fried and then roasted mission figs with prosciutto. Wow. Next we had tagliatelle with squid ink and lobster.
William ShriverJune 25, 2017Great and authentic Italian food. Incredibly fresh and quality ingredients with fantastic service. Terrific place to come for a special event.- Lou CarboneMarch 24, 2018Menu is great, but you have to check out the specials! List is exhaustive and has been awesome. And the service is stellar. I live in NJ, but this is well worth the trip.
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014There's really no need to go through the pre-printed menu at this Italian trattoria. Pay attention to the laundry list of specials your server will tell you, and ask them to repeat (slowly) if needed.
Carlos RussoAugust 23, 2017Incredible specials (always check them out before ordering). The service is excellent and the ingredients are fresh. Can't go wrong here!- James H.September 15, 2018Excellent food, creative menu, great service. We love the diverse choices all terrific
- James H.September 15, 2018The veal chop with chanterelle mushrooms was rich but delicious. The stuffing was very tasty
Russell HirschornAugust 10, 2014Had my moms surprise party here. Food and wine were excellent, service was perfect, and the space was exactly what you would want. Highly recommended.- John VitkovichMarch 9, 2018An exquisite experience. Very impressive menu. Very attentive service, delicious food. A must try if you're visiting Astoria.
- James H.September 15, 2018The branzino was perfect. We wanted it on the bone but you can have it with or deboned.
Joyful BellyAugust 8, 2014The star is the Mezza Luna Ravioli, and rightfully so - a singular dish, for certain. But also try the fried calmari - birght, crisp, and not weighed down by grease.
Kev SkinnyAugust 14, 2014Good luck picking your meal. 500 menu options. Listen as your waiter rifles them off by heart. Its impressive. Food is great. Enjoyed the octopus.

- Dom CaputoJanuary 31, 2010Grilled sardine appetiser too much work due to bones. Osso bucco with gnoche very good. Risotto is for real and served in a cheese shell.
