The food is absolutely phenomenal, but is definitely pricy. the best italian restaurant in astoria. would highly recommend ordering off the specials board, but honestly almost all their dishes are great.
What a wonderful, cozy, sweet, homey, cute place. The food is amazing, tastes original Italian, very delicious! None of that heavy creamy sauces. Just perfect portions, perfect presentation and variety. The owner is such a gentleman, a highly devoted, hands on, friendly, service oriented man. The servers have actually interest in the customers needs and they have excellence in hospitality mindset. One can come here alone to dine, sit at the bar, enjoy the warm hospitality. I am hooked now. Will make this my top 5 priority dining, socializing spot!
Amazing dinner experience! The atmosphere at the restaurant was convivial and absolutely not pretentious. It was a Monday night and we got seated quickly. Service was timely, cordial, and accurate. The food menu and drink selection is varied but concise: quality over quantity. We shared an Arancino as a started (sfizi in their menu) and then ordered a pizza each. The choice between pizza or pasta was tough... No regrets: Pizza was divine. As I saw other orders passing by, I couldnt miss the big pasta portions served in cooking pans. Well... looks like I have a reason to come back to try it! SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT! I need the capital letters here, because their desserts are so so so good and you should absolutely try the Nutella Tiramisu 😋 trust me on this!
Really liked that they asked to see vaccination cards! Food was great! My friend loved her drinks and even though the bill was a bit high, we enjoyed the experience very much.
We found this place casually and we loved it. My husband got psta bolognesa and he really enjoyed it. I got a gin tonic and a salad of watermelon, cheese, mint and poppy seeds that was amazing. It was a real fresh option for a summer lunch. I will go back again and ask for the same salad. The service was very good and they were friendly. We got a tiramisu at the end and was superb!!! If you are close to this place, you should give it a try, wont dissapoint you.
Had the Cacio e Tartufo and flourless chocolate cake and both hit the mark for me. 100% would come back to explore their menu.
Food and service were great. I’ve been here twice and will come back soon. I definitely recommend this restaurant. The pasta was so delicious and the lemon pancakes were very tasty. You must try the marocchino.
Great dishes. And a great place to go fpr an Italian quality cuisine
Absolutely delicious meal with fantastic cocktails. A bit pricey but definitely worth it for a special occasion :)
Really nice and cozy Italian place. If you go there you would understand why they don’t take reservations. The food was amazing. They have some good Italian and german beers on the menu with a great wine selection. They have a full bar with great cocktails. Definitely try their specials.. they are amazing. Starting from Appetizers to deserts everything was just perfect. Kudos to their staff for making us feel so welcomed and making it a night to remember.Thank you for such a great experience.
Pretty good Italian food, a little on the heavy side. They wont add any additional protein to their dishes probably for authenticity, but they also have a salmon avocado tartar, which as we all know is indigenous to Italy 😅. All jokes aside, its still a really good app, and the charred octopus app is another banger. Loved the gorgonzola gnocchi, although a little more black pepper really helps cut through the cheese. You could probably split most of the mains in half. They are very generous in their main course portions .Very fun bathroom that has like a Duolingo for Italian audio playing.
OH MY GOSH I LOVE THIS PLACE!! EXQUISITE SERVICE... DELICIOUS FOOD..unique presentation.
Yesterday, I celebrated my husband becoming a US citizen at Vite. Let me tell you, the food and service were magnificent. Carmelo and Pino did an excellent job, and the servants were spectacular too. I had salmon with green beans, while others had steak with potatoes and spinach, and some had bolognese. In addition, we had salad and small bowls of eggplant parmigiana. For dessert, we had tiramisu and coffee. Delicious, Delicious, and Delicious. I must add the owner (sorry, I forgot the owners name) stopped by our table several times to ensure that everything was great, and it was. So again, thank you to the owner, Carmelo, Pino, and the servers for making yesterday a memorable and enjoyable evening for my husband. I cant recommend this place enough if you want good quality tasting food. You can bet your bottom dollar that we will return soon. Excellent!
Amazing service and food! The pasta is super fresh, great cocktails, wonderful bread. Well definitely be back.
I’d give them 5 starts for their food because it’s hands down the best pasta bolognese i’ve ever had! However, I felt like their were understaffed and that kinda made service a little confused. We had finished and waited a while until someone realized and got us our check.
Fantastic! Authentic and fresh. Had the mussels, beef carpaccio and brussel sprouts, all excellent! Great service and well priced wine list
I love this place, one of my favorite Italian restaurants in queens, I go there at least once a week, love their food specials, their pasta is always good, any pasta you will get from the menu you will definitely like, good sea food as well, and you must try their Bufala pizza. Sometimes they might exaggerate with the prices with certain special dishes like they charged $30 for 4 pieces of ravioli, but there are many items in the menu that go for reasonable prices. Very friendly owner who welcomes you and make you feel at home, good service and good selection of Italian and French wine, good atmosphere not too loud not too quiet, good for dates, there is inside and outside seating, outside is preferable by customers in summer time. Highly recommend
Vite is amazing. The food is phenomenal and inexpensive compared to most Italian restaurants in the city. Your surrounded by plants and vegetables growing all around adding to the ambiance. The prosciutto arugula pizza and gnocchi are two of the most popular dishes seen below. The food, wine and relaxing mood made for a perfect night!
Vite Vinosteria is an amazing and authentic Italian restaurant in Astoria, probably the best.I had a chance to spend some time with Pino, one of the owners, that is a wonderful person that knows how to treat clients. Very welcoming and funny.The food is delicious and fresh. The place takes you back to Italy and don’t forget to check out the restroom to get some Italian lessons.Must go, you won’t be disappointed!!!
Authentic italian food with a great and knowledgeable staff. Loved the flavor and the Price was very good for the area.The chef made a few recommendeations which was great. hIt was not crowded when I visited, i dont about the weekends. The manager welcomed us at the door. Will def comeback.
Im not a huge fan of italian food, but my family is. We all enjoyed a wonderful time here. It was a late Sunday afternoon so the place was not packed but the brunch menu was still available.The pasta were truly delicious, and the bread basket was great. We had the tiramisu and a strudel wich were a delicious accompaniment to their coffee choices.All in all, I would recommend the place for their professional staff, ambience and good food!
This place is pretty popular, but you can wait at the bar with some limoncello or wines while waiting for your table. Good has great flavor, especially the octopus. Amazing prosciutto. Great pastas. We also tried the more unconventional duck ravioli. Definitely worth a try sur to the uniqueness, though a bit sweet for my taste.Would come here again.
We ordered kinda last minute! They took care of us 110% and we had the absolute BEST PIZZA ever ! Such a welcoming place and people who are working in there. Highly recommend, this will be our “go to” place. Thank you guys!
Enjoyed our dinner very much. Excellent menu. Cozy ambiance. Couldn’t figure out if we over dressed or everyone else was under dressed 😊. Perfect spot for date night or a night out with friends.
Amazing wine selection. Food tastes fresh and delicious. We got the mussels and an appetizer of mozzarella, figs, and jamón ibérico. Service was great.
Reviews are about a true, real, no fake experience, you guys have seen my reviews. The place is absolutely 5 Stars! The stuff, the food is marvelous! One small inconvenient is finding parking...but how many times have we gone to a restaurant that offers valet parking, and we tell ourselves I couldve made that meal myself, and wouldve saved time and money... So yes, dont let the parking prevent you from having such a wonderful time as I just had with my family. 💯 worth the drive from New Jersey. I think Im going back again for some more. This joint has it all, right in the heart of Astoria, Queens NY
Brunch is its saving grace. Dinner & the wine list need a lot of improvement. I went for brunch and really enjoyed it, but when I took my husband and daughter back for dinner it was like I was in a different restaurant. Very disappointing selection and quality. The wine list is horrible.
Loved it ! Good outside terrace, beautifully decorated.Food was very good, well seasoned and portions arent too big. Fresh ingredients !
Had a date night with my sister in-law here. Considering it was a crazy rainy Friday evening , I found parking lol. Very cozy and the food was delicious. First time here for me. For starters, we had the Polpette Di manzo Kobe ,italian for meatballs and tomato sauce. It was very tender and the sauce !! Wow! Just went perfectly. (Sorry no pics, we were hungry)lol. For Dinner, I had the Ravioli al Limone (Ravioli filled with ricotta cheese with a zesty lemon flavor ) and she had the Gnocchi di Patate (potato gnocchi, asparagus, tomatoes mixed with pesto sauce). It wasn’t tooo heavy nor extremely light. It was the perfect amount to get you full. Lastly we had Dessert, my favorite part of any outings. For dessert we had the Torta Della Nonnative ( Tart with vanilla custard and ricotta cheese with pistachio gelato). Yum! Everything was deliciously prepared and can you believe they make everything fresh. Definitely recommend for either a romantic date or even a group outing if you’re in the mood for Italian home cooked meal. I personally loved it.
Unfortunately this restaurant is disappointing. We order picantte pizza and lamb pasta, but both are not satisfying. The pizza is too salty and lack of other flavors. The pasta is okay but not worth its price tag. The service and setting is really good though.
Been here many times, amazing pasta, great service, always had spectacular specials, couldnt recommend more!
So low key. This place is a hidden gem. The food, pasta, drinks are best. Resonable prices, great portions and the flavors are amazing. Staff are friendly and welcoming. 😊
Vite is my wife and I’s favorite restaurant (and, as there is so much good food in Astoria, that is really saying something). The food is amazing and everyone who works there is fantastic. It is so special to us that we had our wedding reception there and the guests were blown away by the food and service. We cannot say enough good things about Vite and we hope that anyone who reads this review goes there.
Amazing food and service! Very cozy ambiance, perfect for date night. On the smaller side so do not recommend for large groups.
Really enjoyed the outdoor seating and simple italian cuisine and some quality time with my babes.
Very attentive and welcoming. Very good wine. The pizza was delicious, the crust reminiscent of native childhood bread and the sauce light and fresh. Loved the prosciutto & melone. The pana cotta is up high in my list.(pre-vegan post 😜)
Great food, awesome wine. Enjoyed awesome homemade oxtail ravioli with fig and sage. So yummy!
Phenomenal food. You’ll definitely want to save room for dessert, everything was exceptional! Will definitely be back again & again.
Food and service was great. A bit pricey but worth it.
One word, Specials! Always on point. Ask for the Rib Eye or skirt steak. They know meats as well as great service. Already an Astoria staple.
Food was bland, pasta tasted old and not fresh. Really disappointing given the prices and good reviews. Service was also not great or attentive. We were told our entrees would take longer because we didnt order appetizers which felt like a cheap gimmick to get us to order more food. Unfortunately I will not be going back.
My experience was very pleasant,V good food, v good service, very good cocktails and a lively atmosphere...
My favorite Italian restaurant in NYC. I have been a customer here since 2016 and it is still my go-to place for Italian food!
Amazing date spot. The service was wonderful even tho it was Saturday evening and packed! Pizza was great and the bolognese pasta was delicious but the real MVP was our server. He was so friendly and apologetic there was a wait on our food, even tho we didn’t feel like we were waiting long at all! Highly recommend, their outdoor dining is pretty large also
Rustic Italian restaurant... there’s always something new in the special for entrée and deserts. The price is really good as well. If you live in Astoria, you should definitely go.
Great food for great price. Also very nice neighbourhoody atmosphere
The food was amazing!! Every bite had so much flavor and there was not one dish that I did not like. We went for my father’s birthday and he loved the atmosphere. The hospitality was also very good. You must try this place!!
Great food, homemade pasta, excellent service.
My favorite Italian restaurant in Astoria, possibly in the city. Well-executed, flavorful pasta dishes, perfect gnocchi, perfect meatballs, great salads. Yet to try the pizza but Im sure its fantastic. I really love the ambience of the place. Prices are reasonable given the quality of the dishes. Staff is awesome and friendly, and the owner seems like a really nice guy. Dont skip the tiramisu here-- it is wonderful.
Completely delightful experience! Went on a rainy Sunday evening and the staff were all in a good mood. We had excellent service, excellent wine (I recommend the Montepulciano dAbruzzo), insulata de vite, burrata, the steak, and the gnocchi air funghi. Will definitely go again
Arrived around the time brunch was over but was able to view both menus. I selected a red wine sangria which was fantastic to start. The sangria came out fast and was delicious.By yhe time the drinks came out I was ready to order. I chose the meatballs, as well as shrimp in a delicious wine sauce with toasted ciabatta. Both appetizers were amazing, the shrimp was by far the better choice.My entree was the linguini with clams, it wasnt as exciting as either of the appetizers but it tasted alright maybe some salt pepper would of gave it the extra pep I was looking for.All in all I will be back! I was eyeing the squid ink pasta which came with a bunch of seafood but that definitely seems like a one app kind of meal.
The staff was warm and friendly. They took the time to joke with our table & make our dinner a wonderful experience. The food was rich in flavor! I can’t wait to go again
This place is amazing!!! Best pasta ever! Our server Jorge provided us with great service! Leon made sure our table was clean, and made sure we’re not missing anything, with a smile on his face. We had the pleasure to meet the chef, as well! Definitely coming back! ❤️
Just came for dinner tonight with my girl and another couple and it was so amazing. The bartender Jen was delightful then we sat down and had a wonderful meal. I met the owner who was just a cool Italian dude and he hooked it up. The food was fantastic we will be back. 10/10
Had an incredible date night with my girlfriend at Vite Vinosteria. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel like family; the food and drinks were outstanding; and the atmosphere is rustic and romantic. Highly recommend for a classy night out. The prices are a bit higher that our usual dinner nights, but for a special occasion Vite hits the spot.
I met some friends for dinner here on a Wednesday and wasnt thrilled about the place. The decor and atmosphere were great and the service was prompt. We started with the rice ball filled with short rib, and for dinner ordered the ravioli in lemon sauce, the pizza with mushrooms, the pappardelle with bolognese, and a seafood risotto. While the food was good it wasnt stellar.Towards the end it felt like we were being rushed out of the restaurant even though the place wasnt full. They came to take plates that still have a few bites left (fork in hand) and glasses with a few sips. A few times we had to say, Im not finished with that We didnt want dessert and the check was immediately brought to us. We ended up at a bar around the corner to finish our conversation. Probably wont come back here not will I recommend this place.
The pasta was a bit overpriced but was delicious. They have gluten free pasta that they can swap out for certain dishes. Our waiter was attentive and helpful. My only complaint is that I came here during a nice day and I wanted to sit outside. While waiting for our meal, a couple of smokers came (who were not eating at the restaurant) and stood by the patio and started to smoke. I have terrible asthma and had to move inside. Maybe put up no smoking signs around the patio? It was such a shame to have to move inside on such a nice day. The garden they have on the patio is so cute and the smoke ruined the experience.
My boyfriend and I had a great experience here! Great food and service!! What topped off our evening here was the wonderful Martina behind the bar. Such a friendly girl who was so welcoming and a great worker!! Her knowledge of wines and food was truly exceptional. She really made the whole experience that much better! We will definitely be back soon!!
What sets this place apart is its attention to detail. Good pasta and good sauce is one thing, but the pasta was perfectly cooked, and the sauce is perfectly seasoned. you can tell they didnt put too much heat in the pan, or over season. The chef is very strategic, and anytime I am in the Astoria, I look forward to going. I will say the restaurant can be a little chilly in the winter, and a little hot in the summer.
Service... these guys are super personal and arent scared to ask you to be their personal taste testers for new things on their menus! The ribbon pasta bolognese was sensational. A perfect mix of tomatoes and cream! The noodles absolutely make the dish. I have 0 complaints. Its an old timey joint with a young crowd. Id come back for sure!
My wife and I love this place. Have tried many dishes there and have never been disappointed. The servers are attentive and friendly. Delicious food and cozy but comfortable spot. Definitely our go to Italian spot for date night.
We took out an order Today Pasta Bolonguese. Delicious. Salad of course. The hostess was extremely helpful and they even threw in a desert. That was truly appreciated.
Its fine dinning done right in Astoria. Food melts in your mouth. Original and authentic taste. The pasta has never let me down.
All the food we had was good. The chicken thigh entree is wonderful - happy the chef didnt automatically go for a breast. The staff was very hard working, but seemed to be a bare bones crew.
This restaurant is a lovely place for a date. Their menu, while not as extensive as other Italian eateries, does a great job at what it offers. I had the meatballs as an appetizer and the kale walnut and pear salad for an entree. It was superb. One interesting note is that the bathroom offers an audio background in an introduction to Italian.
This is one of my favorite Italian Restaurants in Queens. Love the athmosphere and service. They always make e feel so special, like a rock start with their attentiveness and jokes. The owner is hilarious and always making sure Im taken care of. The food is delicious! is like being in Italy away from Italy. Thank you!!
Great restaurant. Very good wine list with maybe 10 or so bottles under or around $40.Loved the vegie dishes, the mussels, the gnocchi,etc. Staff could not have been more friendly.
Our go-to Italian spot in Astoria. Always get the meatballs and at least one pasta.
The pasta here is beyond amazing. So fresh and so flavorful!
Went to Vite with family for the first time last night. Well, its just plain wonderful. Every dish was delicious. Try the appetizer made with whipped cod over polenta. Light, fluffy, flavorful cod over crisp , earthy polenta. Oh my gosh, Its magnificent. Also amazing was ravioli filled with duck meat, flavored with orange and chocolate. The first bite sends you to some sort of gastronomic heaven. The atmosphere is bustling while also being cozy and friendly. The service was professional and courteous. Cant wait to go back.
This place was adorable and the food was really good. We sat at a window table and loved it. The staff was super helpful and the wine list is different and the selections we had were really great. All the appetizers and whole wheat cavatelli were fantastic. So was the popcorn dessert we had. Well definitely be back.
I was there last week excellent food amazing atmosphere the service out of this world it was class .... the manager Mauricio was okay he needs a little bit more of experience explaining about the wines but his service as a server and manager was amazing...
Went there twice. First time the rice was uncooked in the paella special. Decided to give it another chance due to the good reviews in yelp and thinking this could have been an isolated incident. The second time there was so much salt in both mine and my wifes pasta that you could not eat it. I will definitely not be going back.
We love this restaurant! Even on very busy nights, the service is great and the food is delicious. Be warned that some of the sauces, and the olive oil, can be pretty spicy, but in a good way! Great date night atmosphere.
Delicious food at Vite Vinosteria Astoria. Due to Covid-19, they have outdoor seating. Most of the tables are covered but there are a few that are in the open sky and good luck if it rains. Their food is delicious. We had Tagliatelle al Nero di Seppia, Tartufata Pizze and a few drinks. That was simply delicious. 5 Stars and will definately come back! The service was great!
I wanted to state that the owner Pino replied to my disappointing experience/review of the restaurant caused by staff that acted incorrectly. He apologized and offered to make things right and correct these unfortunate situations in the future.He was a gentleman and I respect him for stepping up to the plate.They have won me over once again! Food and wine are the best here.I once again recommend.
Very cute rustic style restaurant with a romantic vibe, perfect for date nights! The service is a bit slow so just keep that in mind if youre in a rush. They have a cute patio area that you can enjoy nice weather.
Best italian food Ive had in Astoria, just wow. Service was fantastic and food was delicious and authentic.
Not the biggest place but very accommodating for larger parties when it came to sorting the reservation prior and then making sure the whole group was taken care of the night of (a few vegan friends, a few fashionably late friends, etc). Fantastic service staff all around.The entire group enjoyed their main dishes and the delicious appetizers that were chosen by the owner for the table. Will definitely be going back for more of that lamb ragu.
Probably one of the best spot in Astoria, ViteVinosteria is an incredible vibrant Italian restaurant with homemade pasta and amazing steaks! We were amused by their staffs and I really recommend to go if you never been before! Ask about Pino, he is the man!
Must go there and meet Garden(the most wonderful bartender ever)and Carmelo( the owner)With no doubt, the best rustic Italian food in town!
This is my favorite restaurant in the area. The service is always very good and the food, delicious. The owner himself often works the floor, sometimes stopping by for conversation because he remembers his customers. Classic Italian vibe, with authentic Italian food. Great for dates and groups.
Good go for trying Italian foods. There are so many spicy and cheesy Italian items in the restaurant. As compared to the foods, they charge reasonable price. Popular foods are Pappardelle Alla Bolognese, Panna, Patate, Cavatelli Di Grano Integrale Con Ragu Dagnello.
Consistently good Italian food and the owner is a fun guy. Usually greets customers and makes them feel at home. Great olive oil, too! Take a bottle home, you wont regret it
An escape from the city to have city quality Italian food in Queens. Wait wasnt bad even on 7/4. Atmosphere good. Food also very legit. Great cooking!
Been there twice. Delicious food & decent prices! My personal meatless favorite options: burrata, gnocci, Tortelloni di Zucca.Tagliatelle al Nero di Seppia taste good as well. Next time will try pizza.
Vite and its piccolo cugino on Broadway at Crescent are wonderful places to really enjoy some good food and good wine. They are a place to enjoy the person youre sharing a meal with where its comfortable to sit and talk, sip your wine and savor every bite. The homemade pasta is wonderful and the Risotto is a rare treat. Go.
Ive been to Vite twice now and I am looking forward to the next time. Recently I had the brick oven pizza with thin sliced prosciutto. . It was so delicious. And I Had to order the meat stuffed olives again. Did not disappoint.
Went foe dinner and got the cavatelli with lamb ragu and it was very good. My SO got the bolognese and it was mediocre. She was jealous. Ive also been for their brunch and the hamburger is GOOD.
Great food, great drinks, great service.
We just went here for the first time- it was amazing! Everything was super fresh- the burrata was the best we have ever had. David was our server and he was beyond attentive and helpful. We will be back! :)
Went here for happy hour with my brother. I had the most amazing espresso martini I could ever have imagined! I wish I could have one every day. Their happy hour red wine was excellent too
Excellent meal and exceptional service. We couldnt decide so we shared a pizza to start and had our own pasta dishes. It was the right decision as nothing should be missed!
I dont usually write reviews but I had to for this one. Vite is one of them best Italian restaurants in Astoria. Great service. Pleasant staff and great food! Will be back again.
A very nice intimate place for dinner. The pizza is flavorful and the ingredients are fresh. The pasta took me back to my time living in Italy. The tortelloni was both simple but outstanding. The lamb ragu reminded me exactly of a bolognese I used to get at the Central Market of Firenze
Food was very good, only lost a star because they were out of some of the items on the menu and it was pretty early
Unfortunately I did not have a good experience here. I’ve heard it’s a really good restaurant and have typically seen a large crowd here so decided I must try. The service was pretty awful as my waiter was difficult to find and seemed really stressed out or aggregated. On top of that, my pizza came out cold :( wouldn’t go back.
Ive been going here for years and it was great. But last time I went, the place was almost empty and it took us 50 minutes to get our food. They raised the prices too so it becomes a pricey unless you get just appetizers.
Enviroment is one of the best in Astoria, cozy, when you sit there do t want to leave. Tables outdoors with beautiful plants around. Decoration rustic and now lets talk about the amazing service and food! Food is super delicious, great quality, great portions and prices are decent for the amount and quality that you get. Owners are vvvvvery attentive and they welcome you always with a smile on their face, they make you feel super confortable and they make sure you get an excellent service. I love that place i really recomend you people. Everything is good about this place !!! ❤️❤️
I have to start with saying.....WOW.... love the food here so delicious, amazing. Every time I go me and my family enjoy eating ,drinking and have lots of fun and also the service is great too its a beautiful authentic Italian restaurant
My first time at this place and must say the experience was Awesome! The customer service was great they were very attentive as a whole and the food was tasty! Would definitely recommend :)
Love love love! We eat at Vite regularly and have always been very happy. Their food is delicious, the staff are extremely friendly, and the prices are not bad at all.Recommend:House wineBread with Vites spicy olive oilEggplant Parmesan and/or burrataRe di parma pizza or linguine bologneseHomemade limoncello
Great atmosphere, amazing food and great staff! Would definitely come back again! Good luck with the reopening of indoor dining!
Cozy and friendly place. Wine choices have never disappointed and menu is excellent. Never had a bad dish. The house made pappardelle dishes are so delicious.
Great and the freshest food. All diskes ordered were great in flavor. They are not pushy you can take your time. Go during happy hour drinks are costly.
I am very happy to say that this restaurant is totally enjoyable, from the attentive service to the excellent food.I chose this restaurant for my Sons 19th birthday diner, and could not have been better in any way.
Amazing food and service. For the quality and freshness the prices here are really great. Cut decor and friendly staff.
One of, if not the best gnocchi Ive had and definitely the best steak Ive had in an Italian restaurant. Also, you must try the Nutella tiramisu
Staff was so nice, and helpful. The food came out great, and the pricing was good. Definitely would come back again!
Delicious food and friendly staff. Perfect for a quick bite to eat or a night out with someone special.
Very nice place with good pizza. Its a little cosy, so just something to bear in mind if youre going on a busy night, but a great atmosphere with a good selection of food and drinks.
The food was exceptional! Atmosphere was relaxed and not rushed. Plus you could learn some Italian words in the bathroom.
First of all the food is amazing, then, they have a very good selection of wines and beers and the location is perfect in Astoria, i used to live around the block.
Great wine list paired with excellent food. It gets busy quickly at night, so come early! In the summer, outside seating is the place to be.
Food is good but staff attitude is terrible. Our order was taken incorrectly then the restaurant staff had an extremely bad attitude when trying to resolve the problem.
I went there and one of the managers or the owner this is how he called himself. He was out of his mind ! I asked for something he went to my table he “assumed “ I was Hispanic and he start talking to me in Spanish and making in-discriminatory racist comments . He point me with his finger then he started attacking Asian , telling me are you Asian ? They always come here asking for different food . He walked away of the table then he turn back telling me “ don’t try to change my menu “ I think he was just wasted drunk . I have to leave the place and I didn’t have a chance to eat .I feel so indiscriminate and he really indiscriminate Asian as well.
Best Italian restaurant in Astoria. Amazing steaks on the special and the limoncello are homemade and incredible. Also an amazing spot to take a date on.
Awesome atmosphere and great food. Loved their bolognese sauce
Their shrimp is amazing food is fresh
The food was amazing. Good selection of cocktails. Staff was very friendly and attentive.
The food was delicious. The staff very attentive. Will definitely come back.
Sorry wont come back again. Got here at 7pm and literally still waiting to leave and its 1025pm probabaly wont be out untill 1040. We had one to two drinks and one entree. Food took to order, forever to get here, and forever to pay. Total time eating and drinking was 35 min.
Delicious food and attentive staff! Highly recommended!
Over priced Italian food, it was okay. The pizza at Milkflower is so much better. The staff was not attentive that night.
Best meal I have ever had. Great ambience with outdoor seating. Pricey, but worth it for a special evening.
Food was fine, but not going to return. Really hate that the pasta was served in a pan for some reason, and the prices for the amount of food were far too high.
The food is excellent, the homemade tomato sauce is just wonderful. Good choice of wine and the staff were great with us
The food and atmosphere were good..... but the MEATBALLS omg . I could imagine a lil old Italian grandma stirring the pot. I highly recommend getting the meatball appetizer
Food had no flavor and dry. the waiter failed to check on us for 45 min while slow.
Excellent. Lovely atmosphere. Food is really enjoyable and the staff is very very friendly. Highly recommend!
Excellent. Lovely atmosphere. Food is really enjoyable and the staff is very very friendly. Highly recommend..
Authentic italian. Real italian, not Italian-American. Great food and drinks but limited menu and a little overpriced for the neighborhood.
Wow.Speechless but; I asked the server Eddie if he was taking care of me and he said “unfortunately yes I am”.I asked, is everything ok?? He laughed and walked away, I’m trying not to assume to much but; I DEFINITELY won’t be back.
Very excellent Italian joint, service, food, cocktails, and wine selection were great. But I wasnt blown away.
Great selection of wine and nice italian food. The place is relax and classy and the service friendly and fast. They have awesome pizzas
Great food, nice ambiance, friendly staff. A bit pricey but a good place to go for authentic food brought to you in the pan.
Actually we have 3 courses apps main and dessert we love everything sorry I did not catch our server names but we was fantastic tks x make our day one of best
Every dish was incredible, staff and manager were very friendly. Great atmosphere, patio was lovely.
Great good, everyone cares about you, food is amazingly delicious. Always good food and atmosphere. Love it
Pizza is great. Their bolognese has like little flakes of meat in it (is not the best)
I love this place. It has an extensive list of wines and their pizza dough is the best Ive ever tried!!!!
My plate was cold, mushrooms tasted like plastic, do not recommend at all. Poor excuse when asked why the food was cold.
Fantastic food, great vibes, and a lovely staff. Perfect spot for a date or to hang out with a group of friends. :)
Amazing food, great service! Its a small, quaint place. Perfect for a date night!
It was horrible food. We had to throw up all night. Definitely overpriced disgusting food.
Great food, good selection of wines, warm atmosphere!!! The owner is so gentle and polite
Ordinary pastas. They ran out of pizza dough by 9pm it seems. Very nice decor. Good service.
Did not like this place at all. Very pricy. Food is over spiced. Not a typical Italian resturant.
I havent been to a nice restaurant in a long time. This place exceeded expectations! Ill be back for sure.
Great quality and service. The DYI Cannoli is a must!
Food, atmosphere, service... Everything is great. So glad I found this place in a sea of Astoria restaurants.
The food is good, though a bit pricey for Astoria. one of the waiters was pretty rude the last time I went.
Burgers were very bland and somewhat overpriced for what was served. My out-of-town guests didnt like the place.
Outdoor seating, nice wine, daily specials are always fun. Seasonal menu. Love it.
Great food, great drinks, and excellent service. Highly recommended.
Excellent, will definitely be back
Wonderful menu with homemade pastas, a well curated wine list, and some nice ambiance. A solid date spot.
Great Italian food! Must try their pasta and their wine selections are great.
Wonderful service. Really good food. Fresh. Great wine selection.
Good food, good wine, good service. A nice place for outdoor dining
Their red wine selection was not that good. Some tasted like spoiled table wine. Or airport wine.I didnt have dinner.
Unique dishes, super tasty and superb service with Italian heart and soul. Whats not to love?
Wonderful and delicious. Plus you can learn to speak Italian while you pee!

I Oder for pickupThey said it’s take 30 to 40 minutesAfter 1 hour they said it’s take more 20 minutes 😡
Great authentic Italian food at affordable prices...very efficient and friendly service.
We ordered delivery, and the pasta was so dense it actually made me sick.
Really cozy Italian restaurant. Outdoor seating for summer. Tasty food and nice vibe
The food i ordered smelled like wet socks and nothing was done to remedy the situation. I will not be returning.
The worst pizza I’ve ever ordered. Taste bad, terrible dough, looks different from pictures.
BEST, BEST and BEST Italian restaurant you can ever find in Queens.
Small portions. Not that tasty. But great service. Also it was a little overpriced.

2022-07-10Nice location..lively area..parking is not so hard (Sunday).The restaurant was nice and cozy/romantic not amazing but above average. Clean and welcoming. Staff is wonderful and friendly and the service too.Food we ordered was delicious but a little pricier than normal. It tasted really good. We had cocktails which was Uuuugghhhhh!Skip the cocktails.Overall a pleasant experience. We had two dishes 28.95 and 31.95 and two cocktails 14.95 each + gratuity =$115.00 (pricey for two people)..no sides were served just bread.My average dinner bill would be around 70$.

2022-04-09Delicious Italian food and great service. The owner sits you as you come in since they dont take reservations. He is very warm and even in a busy Friday night you dont have to wait more than the time it takes you to have a drink at the bar. Also, you can feel the good quality of ingredients for their food as everything is very tasteful and fresh. The presentation of the plates is very creative and the portions are good too.

2022-02-08Came here during Restaurant week on a Thursday evening.I really enjoyed the burrata appetizer, it was delicious, so was the bread pudding! Rigatoni al pesto was not my favorite, just a bit too oily and al dente to my taste. My friend ordered salmon tarte and branzino filet, both were good.The restaurant was extremely busy, all tables were occupied and it felt too cramped inside. Although the service was okay, I was surprised to see that on top of 20% service fee that was already charged as part of the restaurant week, there was another note asking for a cash tip, a surgare for a credit card payment, and a receipt with extra tip option. What initially was supposed to be an affordable meal ended up being a regular priced dinner in NYC..

2022-06-11So far one of the best Italian restaurant I’ve been to in Queens. All the dishes we ordered was good choice. Even my mom who doesn’t eat other type of food enjoyed this place . Definitely try this place if you are in the area.

2022-02-14My friend and I wanted to grab italian food but a location that wasn’t deemed too romantic.We came across VITE Vinosteria in Astoria, Queens.What an absolute delight. Service extremely attentive. Decor is beautiful besides being tightly squeezed with nosy patrons who often pierced their eyes on our food or attempted to listen to our conversation.The food is delicious. The food is served in a small frying pan which is absolutely clean and free of markings and stains of any kind.The drinks are good. Quality drinksIf you don’t speak italian; well not a problem, just go to the bathroom for some lessons. The bathrooms is equipped with audio that teaches you italian words or sayings. Depends how long you’re in the bathroom you can learn a few words. Lol. Please be cognizant that there is only one bathroom to this location.Pricing was fair and comfortable for dinner for two. Highly recommend to check out this lovely italian eatery in Astoria.

2021-11-20Amazing Italian restaurant.We’ve arrived at Vite about 7:15 pm, it was our luck to get there before packed.After spending time reading menu, we decided to go with 1 special, 1 paste, and 1 pizze but still couldn’t decide which one to go with because everything looks so delicious!!!! So we asked server and we went with his recommendations.First a special pork belly on skewer, 6 skewers for $19.95. It was very good, the soft and tender of grilled pork belly with grape sauce was very delicious. Even though it’s called Grape sauce but it’s not sour at all. It’s original flavor from Italy. 9/10 (I’m not. If fan of pork belly but it’s very very good.Second were tortellini di zucca homemade pasta, I called it as Italian dumpling (lol) with creamy pumpkin sauce. First bite, OMG!!! Second, still omg. I have to admit this dish was very good. The inner filler of pasta has a sour flavor which helped accommodate the heavy creamy sauce, made it not too heavy to finish. 8/10Last was Pizze; Tartufata; zucchini, mushroom, truffle topped of the thin and crispy pizza NY style. Ex-cel-Lent-o! Excellent in Italian accent lmao!!! Apparently pizza was a best last dish to call it a night and you won’t be regret this. 8/10Overall, Vite Vinosteria is a great Italian restaurant. I’m not a big fan of cheese, creamy, or even Italian soccer! But love this place.Ps. Wanna learn Italian? Don’t forget to use the bathroom there.Tips: arrive there before 7:30 pm, especially if you are big party. otherwise you might ended up waiting for table like 45 mins lol

2021-09-20Really cute spot with some of the best Italian food Ive had in Astoria. Absolutely everything was perfect. Service was fast and friendly. Try to tip in cash if you can, but you should be doing that everywhere.

2022-05-10Okay so… if want authentic Italian with an Italian host who makes you feel at home and like part of the famiglia, Vite is the place. Chef Rizzo is a genius. Took my Sicilian aunt here and she loved it. Pino and her talked like old friends from the old country. Authentic Italian dishes with that Old Country feel Im the heart of Astoria!

2021-08-20Delicious food that is portioned perfectly, and arrives promptly. Attentive, and friendly staff. Naturally, this restaurant offers carefully selected wine that truly showcases their fantastic attention to detail with their menu in mind.
