32 Best Wine Bars near Far Rockaway

“I can’t believe I’ve never reviewed this place. We’ve been coming here for years and recommend it to friends. Today (8/11/23), however, I came in for the bottle of wine and cheese deal and then cheese plate was shrunken to a tiny platter that made it impossible to cut on it. Also, three olives to two people???? Screw whomever made that decision. Still, we will be back.“

“I took my wife there for our anniversary and it was great. We wanted someplace different and charming. They greeted us by name and wished us a happy anniversary. When the waitress came to the table she brought us two small glasses of champagne and again wished us well. The food was excellent and the waitress was the best. We totally recomend the place.“

“Ate here with my family and everything was delicious. We did not have reservations, but the hostess Joann was very accommodating and found us a table. She was super kind and gave great recommendations. For apps we had calamari and meatballs. Both good, meatballs melts in your mouth with the perfect dab of fresh ricotta. It was pizza night for us, so we tried three: hot honey pepperoni, vodka sauce margarita, and spicy meatballs with peppers. I'm a pizza connoisseur and it hit all the right taste buds. We ate everything up, I almost forgot to take pics. Overall, I look forward to visiting again and trying other dishes.“

“I came here a few times with my boss. The staff are very accommodating. The food is absolutely excellent. I can recommend all the foods we try to be delicious. We started with the special appetitezers of the day, so good the bake oysters, burrata cheese, and calamari. The main courses we have are veal chop, Pollo marsala, and bolognese pasta. Desserts they gave us 3 different kinds, and out of all the three, I won't forget how smooth and perfect the napoleon cake is. Plus, we have the cappuccino. So good. It is one of the best diner we have in an Italian restaurant. The reason being I gave 4 stars is that I didn't feel warm with other staff, and i noticed the eyes of other customers. I ignore them since I am also a customer. Who cares with them, but I couldn't stop noticing that I am the only different skin color that night. I hope to bring my friends and family here since the food is great. Me and my boss will surely come back. Hope that time is not as intimidating as the ambiance is.“

“We went to celebrate my wife's birthday. We had a quiet booth where we could converse at normal level. The selections on the menu were extensive and the steaks we ordered were cooked as requested. All the items were very delicious. Since it was a special occasion they also provided my wife with a complimentary dessert to celebrate which I thought was a nice touch. Definitely a place to which we will return.“

“Beautiful, small, cozy wine bar located on Queens Blvd.The bartender/ server was friendly and made some good recommendations. The Chicken Tagine was so tender and flavorful, the pasta with meatballs was just spot on to perfection. Everything about this place is amazing.. Would definitely return here.“

“One of my favorite dining experiences in a while. The prices were very reasonable, but the food and service were amazing. We went on a Saturday and our server (I believe Argentinian?) was incredible, not pushy at all, and timed out the meal beautifully. She didn't try to upsell, but was attentive and we had no problem being there for almost four hours while having different dishes. The food itself was fantastic - highly recommend the steak, empanadas (amazing sauce), and the croquettes. Also a very nice atmosphere and great drinks. Will go back for sure.“

“Had brunch here - large space, no wait.Service was as expected in a New York diner - same with food cost.However, this is definitely a nicer than your average diner in terms of both ambiance and food quality - the corned beef hash was good and so was the breakfast quesadilla.“

“Pretty nice Restaurant, I like this place. Only thing that disappointed me is my entree Easter menu, the lamb chop milanese, the most expensive one on the menu, but it was over deeply fried, too dry, I can bearly taste it's still a lamb.“

“Uva's got this chill vibe, kind of like your favorite rustic spot in the neighborhood where everyone kind of knows your name. Walked in last Thursday and the place was buzzing with this cozy, warm atmosphere - really sets the mood right. Had this server, Fernando, who mixed up a mean ginger cocktail that just hit the spot. Tried the spaghetti al pomodorino, and it's a game changer, especially when they whip it out in that cheese wheel right at your table. It's just a solid place to grab a bite.“

“This place has definitely become a fan favorite for my bf & I ! We’ve been coming in every Saturday after work for the past few weeks now & the staff has noticed us as the new Saturday night regulars lolThe food is amazing ? Their French onion soup & baked clams are a must !!We’ve been trying to order different entrees when we come in, so we can find our favorites but it’s so hard when you like one dish already ?We also highly recommend the delicious desserts !!We always enjoy sitting at the bar when we go out to eat & our bartender Austin is great ! He is a skilled bartender that can craft you a perfect cocktail with just the right amount of conversation lolWe’re always greeted warmly by all the staff, it feels like a tight group ??We’ve been meaning to try this place out for sometime now, so we’re happy that we finally did!“

“Can’t say enough about our experience last night. It was pouring raining but my husband wanted to go out for dinner. We showed up at around 9pm , after another restaurant wouldn’t seat us. Service and food was incredible!! We were not rushed even though we were the only ones left at that point.They kept telling us, to enjoy and not rush. Is definitely now our favourite place.“

“I chose this restaurant based on Yelp reviews. I reserved an outside table. Very cozy place. Excellent service. Delicious and fresh food. We ordered flavored sangria, seafood stuffing mushrooms, grilled octopus, blue point oysters and paella marinara. Everything we ordered was very good. I recommend this restaurant. Will definitely come here again to try other dishes.“

“I went for their lunch special of two rolls for $11.95. It comes with miso soup or salad. I opted for the miso soup which was passable. I ordered the tuna avocado and salmon avocado rolls. They were good but wasn't the best I've ever had. The fish was fresh, no fishy smell or taste, and just the right amount of rice around the seaweed. The avocado added an element of creaminess that complemented the soft fish. The rice was a touch hard, however. The service was good. The waitress was attentive. The inside was neat and dimly lit for atmosphere. Not bad for a quick sushi lunch if you're in the area.“

“We visited for a quick lunch and needed to be out in time for an appointment. We told our server and he did a great job of getting our order in and our food out promptly. As usual, the food and service were terrific. Novita never disappoints.“

“I've been here three or four times for dinner and I've enjoyed it every time. It's a great date night spot. I would say the prices reflect the quality of the food and service. I would recommend the oxtail croquettes, duck two ways, roast chicken, and halibut.“

“Great foodNarrow restaurant with long bat on left side and single row of tables on the right side - front to back 2-3 couples @ tables and 10 folks @ bar - Wednesday 5:00 pmLots of TVs over the bar -- playing soccer/football while we were there( kept us entertained)Staff spoke English Spanish and PortugueseFood was fantastic - wife loved the ChurrascoNot a thin skirt steak this was very thick with slices of ham and soft fried egg over topServed with Fries and white riceAlso had side salad with very light vinaigrette beforehandHad a good creamy seafood soup first - lots of shrimp- some fish and croutonsAdded a Guarana soda to complete the mealEnjoyed it completely“

“One of my favorite steakhouses on Long Island. The meat is seasoned and smoked to perfection. A little hard to make a reservation, it's only online (resy) unless you have a big party. Very big space but still beautiful. Sushi is always fresh, drinks are great, and don't pass on dessert!“

“Consistently outstanding service and food. Authentic Italian ambience. Chef Roberto is one my top 3 chefs in the world, and creates the most delicious, and phenomenal dishes I've had, including, but not limited to, Gamberi alla Toscanaccia, Fior Di Zucca, Burratta, Tagliata di Manzo, Chicken Parm, and Ortolana di Vitello. The dessert and drinks are also amazing! No Italian restaurant in NY can top this place!“

“Our waitress Stephenie was very engaging and helpful when my friend and I were trying to decide on our entrees. I was impressed by the fact that when we informed Stephenie that we were trying to make an 8pm movie at the Malverne cinema ?, she made sure that our food came out in a timely manner. Loved the seasoned fries that came with my chicken basket. Before leaving, we informed her that we would ask for her the next time we planned to dine there. I remember coming to this cafe with my grandparents and friends while I was a student at Malverne high school!“

“Overall we had a really nice time and the food was good. The waitress we had was fantastic and super attentive and nice. I was a bit disappointed in the wine selection and the fact that they didn't have any wine available on a Friday was odd.“

“My wife and I have eaten here for many years now. Best grilled salmon and skirt steak we have eaten and not over priced the owners and staff are very friendly always attentive of customers need. We want to especially thank Donna who is our regular server she goes above and beyond not only for us but to all the customers she serves. And she also makes the best apple martini.“

“Love the food at Aso Rock! I normally get the Jollof and fish and it never disappoints. I tried the fufu and veggies today and loved it! The customers sitting next to me raved about the boneless goat head with white rice which I will try next time. The owner appreciated that I knew much about the culture and food since I am not African. The other customers also appreciated my knowledge of the culture and treated me to a free plum wine which I also enjoyed. I normally have a good experience here and will definitely return!!!!“

“Had lunch there today, with my wife and daughter. We had a reservation which was good as the place was busy (230pm). We had wings to start which were good. Our three meals were prepared correctly and nice and hot. The apple pie for dessert is excellent. Our waitress along with the rest of the staff were friendly and attentive. First time there, I won a gift certificate at a charity golf outing, we will be returning“

“I give 4 stars and it is because of the food, I did not like at all the treatment that a specific employee gave us, I went with my partner and from the moment they sat us at the table we got the impression that no one wanted to serve us, if there were not It was because of a very kind lady who took care of us, we would have stopped and left the restaurant, after a while we ran out of what we had ordered to drink and we couldn't find the lady who took our order so we We asked another employee, the employee approached us, we asked him what we wanted, he looked at us badly and then he left, if it hadn't been for the fact that I suddenly saw and called the lady from the beginning to order it with her, the other person didn't We would have brought nothing to the table, a shame really because the food was very good & the truth is if it hadn't been for that lady this review would have been even worse“

“My friend recommended it, so I drove a distance of 14 hours (non-continuous of course) from Rochester to try a slice. Worth every minute. Perfect crispiness, great flavor. Super good price. The staff were kind and fun to talk to when we got a conversation started.Parking: Street parking is super cheap. 25¢ for an hour and a half, which is probably longer than it'll take for you to finish your meal. The food is worth the extra 25¢ anyway.“

“I've been passing this restaurant for over 20 years. Such a nice place to dine. The waiters and waitress helpful, friendly. So that made the service great. Nicely decorated and the food was yummy, even the spinach. I enjoyed my time here. I will be back!!! 5 stars for each category!!!“

“Our favorite tapas place. This evening we had the short rib bruschetta, the meat melts in your mouth. The truffle fries are amazing as always. The funghi pizza was delicious! Our server Eddie was attentive without being overbearing. A+ as always.“

“This place is tightly packed with tables and quite popular even during weeknights, so we wish we had a reservation for our group of 5. They have a kids menu, which is rare in NYC, and the portions were substantial for both kid and adult plates. I thought the two fish dishes we got (salmon encrusted with mustard and pistachios and a whole halibut) were both prepared excellently though the sides of broccoli and spinach were overcooked and not flavorful. My favorite part of the meal was their outstanding, homemade Napoleon. Service was great. Definitely will return!“

“I haven't eaten authentic cold sesame noodles with peanut paste in YEARS. I would order them at other restaurants and they would be swimming in sauce. But DANNY'S did it PERFECTLY!! So yummy! Huge thanks to the chef!I tried DANNY'S some years ago, and wasn't impressed. I don't recall what I ordered. After seeing great reviews yesterday, and craving Chinese food, I decided to give them a try. Via takeout, I ordered the cold sesame noodles, fried calamari, and the BBQ rib combo with pork fried rice and egg roll. My absolute FAVORITES were the calamari, the cold sesame noodles, and the ribs. The fried rice and egg roll were okay, but nothing to rave about. But the others were ABSOLUTELY worth rating! Out of the last two mentioned, the rice topped the egg roll. All in all, the food is very tasty and I would like to eat in-house next time. ?“

“My husband and I have gone to the other guachito and I prefer Guachito 2 a thousand times, the flavor is exquisite, the staff is very friendly, especially Matias, his service was excellent, he took everything to us quickly, paying attention to every detail we needed.Highly recommended ??“

“This was our first time at Antonio’s. We had a great dining experience. We had the seafood grill for our main dish. Cooked perfectly and so tasty. Service was very good as well. Our waiter was extremely caring. He suggested a desert of “Portuguese Cake” amazing!!! Not to mention we are foodies. Would definitely go back!!“
