Restaurants in Astoria

“I love eating here. The food is outstanding every single time I come and the atmosphere and vibes of the place are always immaculate. My favorite dish is the octopus, followed by the branzino. Also worth noting that the three dip appetizer is outstanding as well.”

“Great coffee and friendly service! Usually I feel ripped off spending $6 on a latte, but this one uses a double shot of Caffé Borbone and isn’t watered down with milk. Will definitely be making this a routine stop.”

“I highly recommend this restaurant! The food is amazing! You must try the buffalo wings if you love your dishes with a spicy kick and the buffalo cauliflower bites that simply melt in your mouth! The Chef's V Steak is a rich and flavorful you should try it. The service is wonderful and the ambiance is very trendy.”

“We ate like in Italy, fantastic welcome, exquisite food!
Real arancini, not modified recipes because we are in America! Polenta with meat, classic carbonara pasta, excellent! Thank you”

“Craving Cacio e Pepe tonight, I decided to drop by Sotto La Luna for takeout. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by Francesca, one of the owners, who was incredibly sweet and welcoming. She suggested that I dine in at the bar, and I’m so glad I took her advice.

Sitting by the bar gave me a front-row seat to the culinary magic happening in the kitchen. Watching the chefs expertly prepare their pasta dishes was a delightful experience, and the ambiance of the restaurant only enhanced the experience. The decor is tasteful, creating a cozy yet elegant atmosphere.

As for the food, my Cacio e Pepe was served directly from a cheese wheel—an indulgent touch that made the dish all the more delicious. The flavors were spot on, and the pasta was perfectly cooked. Every bite was a testament to the quality and care that goes into the food here.

The service was top-notch, with attentive staff ensuring I had everything I needed. I’ll definitely be returning with friends to explore more of the menu. Sotto La Luna is a fantastic addition to the neighborhood, offering exceptional food and a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommended!”

“So worth walking over to! My friend came all the way from Jersey city and it did not disappoint, super cute inside amazing service ( the woman who brought us our food was so kind! ) and delicious food ( for a good price + big portion ) .

“The waitress interacted with us very nicely, and showed hospitality. The food there was amazing, I highly recommend the loaded potato flatbread.

Kid-friendliness: The waitresses here are very gentle, and is not afraid to treat children.”

“This pizza is delicious. Even after 3 slices you don’t feel full and weighed down. So good. The dough is unlike anything I’ve had in a pizza. Soft yet crispy. The sauce , cheese all terrific. Found my new pizza joint.”

“Back at Tufino after 2 years of Covid and the Pizza it’s EXCELLENT as usual. I’m originally from Napoli, IT and Tufinos pizza is just like back home.”

“Great atmosphere and service!!”

“Fantastic food & service. The sauce is like Moms & the pasta is perfectly cooked. If you have never been here you need to fry it, you won’t be disappointed”

“Wonderful ambiance, staff is courteous, helpful and very knowledgeable on menu items. They are following COVID guidelines, the place is clean and looks like they have upgraded the decor. The food is delicious and hot. Their tomato sauce is perfect! The sangria is very good too. Great little neighborhood place.”

“I live across the street and I went there for the first time like 3 days ago… everything was fantastic, great food, great customer service, I’m definitely going back!”

“Best old fashions in Astoria.”

“Classic no nonsense Italian cuisine! We had the baked filet of sole, Zuppa de mussels in butter wine sauce, calamari fritti, baked stuffed clams, Caesar salad, eggplant rolotini and Chicken Marsala. Delicious! The cappuccino was perfetto and they gave us a complementary after dinner aperitif drink”

“I don't order here much, but their food is amazing. Jaw dropping teriyaki and good rice. Very sophisticated even if you're ordering delivery. Here, you will only find high-quality food.”

“Excellent service and food”

“I recently visited Avenue restobar and had an outstanding experience. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a night out or a relaxed evening. The menu offers a wide variety of delicious drinks and dishes.

What really stood out, though, was the exceptional service. The manager goes above and beyond to ensure every guest feels welcomed and taken care of. The bartender is incredibly skilled and crafted some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Their attention to detail and friendly demeanor truly made the night special.

If you’re looking for a place with great food, amazing drinks, and top-notch service, Avenue Restobar is the place to be. Highly recommended!”

“food and pizza is excellent. great service they have only have two types of wine and a few beer choices..”

“ordered takeout. KING OF AMERICAN CHINESE IN ASTORIA. IF YOU WANT DELICIOUS SESAME CHICKEN AND DELICIOUS LO MEIN THIS IS THE PLACE. also tried springrolls which were delicious and large. Perfect if you are itching for some food to binge a show to.”

“They got great food here at the deli for good prices. They also sell other things like groceries. The staff are super friendly & the tortillas they make themselves are so good.”

“really nice people great food only reason you don’t get 5 Stars is because you guys don’t pick up the phone so i can place an order. its helpful when on my way to work since you guys are by the train.”

“Super unassuming spot that would be easy to walk by. But once you're in, you're transported to a whole different environment filled with music and decorations.

The tacos themselves were fine-nothing terribly special. They aren't shy about how much filling they put, which is a plus. But the flavoring was overall fine.

The real winner of the meal, though, is the birria torta. The meat was so delicious and overall was just a lovely meal.

Tons of juice bar options and soda options, which was an interesting addition. When we went there was maybe one other table there, but I can imagine if it were to get crowded seating would be quite limited. The front desk cashier was super friendly.”

“Terrific authentic Croatian cuisine, great service. Lovely outdoor patio. Food was wonderful especially the grilled fresh fish, the potato cabbage dish, and the chocolate hazelnut crepes.”

“Fast service, convenient location, and not too busy. Parking can be an issue. There are only a few available spaces and those are shared with a gas station and it's convenience store.”

“I frequently visit this location since it’s conveniently located next to my apartment. All of the employees are very polite and seem excited to be working here. My only gripe is that the service can be bit slow at times in the evening. Hope the management/ownership can further train the young employees for more efficiency. Otherwise keep up the good job!”

“Love icon! Such an accepting and fun atmosphere. The queens are amazingly talented!!! Love to go on Thursdays for Karaoke with the fabulous host Nicole Andadime. The service is always wonderful and the drinks are good!!!!”

“The Koshari! Will go back again for sure!”

“This is my regular spot to satisfy my Thai food cravings. It's a small, cozy and clean spot. The food quality is great. The customer service is above and beyond. Highly recommend.”

“food is delicious. chopped chicken grinder. sooooo good.”

“Pedi un cake para 20 personas y en tamaño me ofrecen uno alto y el que me llegó fue”

“I love all the cakes , rice pudding out of this world, flan all is really great the only complaint use better cups for rice pudding to carry out all the time I have accidents or only half of cup arrives”

“We were impressed with the food and service here. This is one of those places we'd walked by a hundred times and always said "we should check that place out one of these days". We finally did and liked it a lot. Nice bar and restaurant with a good menu with plenty of options, some with a Cajun flare.
We ordered the Q18 Burger (half ground beef half ground bacon), the Shrimp Poboy, the Mexican style corn on the cob and half a dozen chicken wings with mild buffalo sauce (they make all of there own sauces so we thought we'd play it safe on the first run). Everything was really good and we were very impressed with the wings. My wife mentioned that this is her new "wing place" so that's that. The burger was good and the poboy could have used a couple more shrimp, but was otherwise good too. The fries, both regular and sweet potato, were crispy and very hot. The wings were crispy under the sauce and I would call their spice level normal so the mild definitely had some heat but didn't get my head sweating.
Pretty lively bottled and draft beer list as well as some wine and cocktails which we didn't explore this visit. Several flat screens with various games on for the sports fans and the place was quiet enough to have a conversation without raising your voice much. The bathroom was clean and nice enough.
Our waitress Caitlin (sp?) was super friendly and fun and we didn't have any problems with our food or anything else. Very nice friendly local vibe here and we'll certainly be back to try more of the menu.
Easily recommend this place.”

“Good food, special drink called, BUTTER! Get ready it's lights out!!.. lol”

“I had a very nice dinner with my friend and next time, we are bringing more friends to have fun here.”

“Great experience with prompt response and delivery to the medical team! You made nurses of Mount Sinai Hospital very happy! Thanks much! Alla Levin”

“Delicious Food Nice Ambiance Excellent Service”

“Listen do not play with this team here at Street Scene! The drip coffee is yummy. The koulouris (cheese *and* vegan) are sooo good. The service here is refreshingly authentic and human. ?”

“Food and Service amazing!”

“A delicious meal and a great sit down pizza shop. Jimmy snuka was spicy, great pineapple and speck. It was delicious and simple. The pizza is a little floppy like a Neapolitan pizza, so you have to be good with that. It’s excellent!”

“THE best Greek food outside Greece!!!!! Simply delicious!!!”

“Wow.. this is good. Perfect treat after hot yoga. Icey and smoothe like creme at the same time. Bae says it tastes pretty good too. She likes the quality cups and plastic straws. I got the peanut butter protein smoothie. Bae the jetty punch.
There was plenty of seating. The place was mostly full of customers on a late Monday evening. The workers were getting out orders quick.
8/21 - Stopped in after hot yoga. Peanut paradise breeze was delicious. Service was also great. Bumping up rating for service from 4 to 5 stars. Based off the combined visits experience.
9/15 Came after yoga again. I was feeling a smoothie on the icey side. With a cup made to keep it cool.”

“Popeyes was formed in Arabi, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans, Louisiana, in St. Bernard Parish. It first opened its doors on June 12, 1972, as "Chicken on the Run". Owner Al Copeland (1944–2008) wanted to compete with Kentucky Fried Chicken, but his restaurant failed after several months. Copeland reopened the restaurant four days later as Popeyes Mighty Good Chicken. By 1975, the company had been renamed as Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken. Copeland started franchising his restaurant in 1976, beginning in Louisiana. The chain expanded to Canada in 1984, and opened its 500th restaurant in 1985. B. P. Newman of Laredo, Texas, acquired several franchises in Texas and surrounding states. Two hundred additional locations were added during a period of slower expansion.By 1990, Copeland Enterprises was in default on $391 million in debts it had taken on in its 1989 purchase of Church's, a rival fast food chain also focusing in fried chicken, and by April 1991, the company filed for bankruptcy protection. In October 1992, the court approved a plan by a group of Copeland's creditors that resulted in the creation of America's Favorite Chicken Company, Inc. (AFC) to serve as the new parent company for Popeyes and Church's.[14] AFC went public in 2001 with initial public offering (IPO) of $142,818,479.[15] On December 29, 2004, AFC sold Church's to Arcapita (formerly Crescent Capital Investments) retaining Popeyes.[citation needed]On August 8, 2000, Popeyes announced a franchise development plan/agreement that included 35 new restaurant locations around Australia in a bid to solidify their presence within the Asia Pacific region. All were to be located in Sydney, the capital city of New South Wales.On June 17, 2014, Popeyes announced it had re-acquired full control of its seasonings, recipes, and other proprietary food preparation techniques from Diversified Foods & Seasonings, which remained under the control of Al Copeland and his estate after the creditor sale of Popeyes to AFC. Popeyes had continued to license the seasonings, recipes, and techniques from DF&S for a yearly 'spice royalty', before buying them outright for $43 million. DF&S remains the main supplier for Popeyes until at least 2029.”

“I went 8/1. Last Thursday after work. To pick up my mobile order. When I walked in, I was greeted and asked if I ordered. SUNY Greeted me and started to work on my order. He took his time and made the drinks to perfection! Then he was extra kind and I was so thankful for my order and donuts. Thank you SUNY!!!!!!! ❤️ I Haven’t been to this location in so long due to bad customer service. About a year ago. But, I will definitely come back. Sunny and the new team were very kind and helpful!”

“Хороший Макдональдс, напитки без ограничений, покупаешь только стакан, соусы бесплатные, очень чисто внутри, без посторонних запахов. Очень просто и есть свободные места. Еду выдают только в пакетах на вынос не используя подносов, но можно кушать внутри”

“Totally agree with everyone that they need to work on space for seating, but I had a really wonderful experience today:I placed my to go order at the wrong place and they were so kind to make the order with them instead of me heading all the way to the other side of Astoria.Which made me happy as I had my baby and puppy with me.”

“Quick service and chicken was very good.

Kid-friendliness: Comfortable and ample space for eating in.
Also, very clean.

Wheelchair accessibility: Street level.”

“I had a great experience at the Steinway KFC!! I want to give a credit to Reji, who is always smiling and always helpful. He defines customer service!! He goes above and beyond for his customers hoping everybody leaves with a smile. This rare in any industry and I hope he gets the proper recognition for all of his efforts. A+++”

“This place has been here for over 30 years. They are quick to make your food in my opinion. The only downside is the amount of homeless and/or addicts who come and sometimes sleep on the seats or beg for change. The workers do their best, as long as they do not bother customers or harass customers they are left alone. Other than that I would still come.”

“Tiny coffeeshop with no inside seating selling the normal assortment of espresso-based drinks. I got a Cortado and really enjoyed it. The beans had a strong flavor and the shot was nicely pulled. Definitely a place to try!”

“I asked for a hot latte but they gave me iced (not the end of the world). It was a bit of a confusing system as they didn't seem to have a ticket or label system to ensure the barista knew what they were making. The iced latte was good and I got a heirloom tomato pastry which was delicious!”

“A truly fantastic vegan breakfast sandwich, the VECA, in a welcoming and warm environment. I was blown away by the number of options, both vegan and otherwise! A few stools to dine-in and outdoor seating option, but they also package to-go orders beautifully!”

“I bring my team here for post fight celebrations since it is located right around the corner from Melrose Ballroom. They can accommodate our group size, have great bar food, there’s Guinness on tap, pickles backs and friendly bartenders. What more can you ask for?!”

“One of the country’s best breweries right in Astoria AND next to a grocery store (grocery shopping always better after a couple drinks). The brewery has cozy indoor space, ample outdoor space, and the folks running the bar are kind and knowledgeable — nothing is pretentious. If you’re an aviation geek, sit outside, as it’s a prime spot for watching narrowbody departures from LGA.”

“We arrived a little too early before the restaurant opened, but the waitress let us in 30 mins early. We were hungry and wanted to order lamb chops. Alas, we had to order veal instead. And I asked for a tarama -my starting point for any Greek meal and lemon potatoes, another favorite of mine. The veal was tender and delicious and tarama along with warm bread was very tasty. Gregory's Corner is perhaps one the best small taverna in Astoria. What they lack in choices on the menu, they make up in service. The waitress who took our order was really on point and gave us solid recommendations. Gregory's is a nice cozy spot with a truly Mediterranean feel. The tables are well-spaced, and the decor is bright and breezy. Outside the restaurant is a little hard to make out up the street and is covered with too much foliage. The entrance is not clearly marked. Inside you can hear the waitress and owner arguing and speaking in Greek. It got a little intence at times, but was fun”

“Delicious baked goods, especially gluten free Fridays! All served in a cozy setting by the nicest owner.”

“The best cookies in the world”

“The best souvlaki outside of Greece”

“The chicken & Lamb mix was amazing ?

I highly suggest you check this spot out if you in the area. Trust me it’s worth it. Good prices and tasty food!”

“I guess it was the creepy security guy lunch break because he was to involve watching in the room then securing the out side couldn’t focus on my kat getting eat 👅 because he was to creepy with it other then that I love the place the owner needs to be open to knew Ideas to get the place a bit popin like four entry in fifth one free discount price on Thursday and Sunday which is the slowest day free raffle give away every Friday Saturday night for free entry etc hope crowd pick up more I guess summer time people are doing other things but it’s popin in cold weather hope it’s more people when I go again”

“I wanted to give 5* to that restaurant as I really like King of Falafel's truck food. But the food at the restaurant is not my taste at all.
I tried the falafel burger and the bread was very bad quality and all the products inside. The falafel patty was terrible not as good as the falafel that I order at the truck.
The fries were horrible, very brown and oily.
I do not recommend the restaurant but go for the truck it is way better!”
