This restaurant has ok but the lack of customer service and pompous attitude make it one of the worst places ever to go!!! Empty tables and they wanted you to wait an hour to eat. The host was condescending and non customer friendly!! The owners are also full of themselves. read more

We loved this place! There was a wait but we expected that on. Friday night. The staff was great about getting us drinks so we could sit and catch up with friends we were dinning with. The host was so attentive, regularly updating us on our table. The food was fantastic and serving sizes were moderate size but perfect because there were so many yummy things to try! Thank goodness they were not bigger. I would have needed to roll to my car! Great experience. Def would go back. And we may go again during our stay in town! read more

Everything was outstanding. Amazing pork, awesome squash ravioli-melts in your mouth. Perfectly cooked roasted broccoli.

We were told no reservations when checked the day before, so we(party of 5) arrived about 4:30pm. The place was almost empty, but we were told they were booked for parties over 4 for the rest of the evening! They could easily have moved 2 of the vacant tables together to accommodate us, but I guess they didn't want our business. So much for trying to go there. read more

I Should start by saying I have bad food karma so hopefully, my experience is an exception but I somehow doubt that. My wife and I tried out this restaurant for the first time with high hopes. To be fair, my wife had a very enjoyable meal that she would rate highly. Me on the other hand, well read on. The second course consisted of a salad with arugula as the leafy green. The arugula had some freezer burn and was a bit leggy. By that I politely mean, the leaves were overly mature, making them even more bitter than usual. Next I had the lamb dish which was just fine but unimaginative. Then the problem dish arrived. Pork shoulder. Frankly it looked a bit odd. The carrots looked like something I remembered from middle school. Oddly for me and for some instinctive reason I started pulling the meat apart to take a closer look. My first impression was the fat seemed to have a odd consistency. Then came my big mistake, I eat a piece! It was a gross combination of reheated warm and freezer cold. In that moment it was as if the lipstick has been wiped clean off the pig. They were just reheating food! After a minute or two the person waiting our table asked if everything was OK. I explained the above and was then asked if I would like something else. That was it, not even an acknowledgment of this epic mistake from the chef or the owner, who were standing not more than 20 feet away from me. And by the way, this was 5 o'clock in the afternoon and the restaurant was, well almost empty. My hopes were high for this place, but it seems they are making the classic chef Ramsey mistake. The menu is far too ambitious and the food has an inconsistency found in restaurants that are taking short cuts to make life easier for themself but will inevitably drive customers elsewhere. If you are thinking of trying this resteraunt, they maybe worth a try but proceed with caution. For me, reheated food especially pork isn't my thing, sorry. read more

Fede - Italian Near Me - Astoria, Oregon

Came in because all of a bar and customers were recommending this place. From a distance and walking in, it felt very homie. Faith and her husband really make this place great. Great vibe. It's a must in Astoria. The service was phenomenal, friendly, smiling. Everything you want. The food was great. 4 course meal. Deviled eggs where amazing. Fish soap was so great, the taste was exquisite. Also the Octopus was sooooooooooiooooo good. Try for yourself. read more

Excellent food. Wonderful staff. One of the best Italian meals I've had the pleasure to eat.

Closes when seating is exhausted. You could call them, but they won't answer. Unless you have the time to email them (and wait for a response). Skip em. read more

A true highlight, and a town that is nothing but highlights! The food and service are phenomenal. Could not have had any better of an experience. I have gone multiple times, and it is always a treat. The rotating menu of fresh ingredients along with the trusted favorites make dining here a wonderful experience every time we come to town. I can't wait to come back! read more

Owner Faith was so helpful setting up a special celebration dinner. She thoughtfully printed keepsake menus with a personalized tie for our friends' anniversary. The only negative: the space is loud. Sound-absorbing panels on the ceiling would be a nice addition. Fede is an amazing addition to Astoria's vibrant dining scene. Our group of four sat gaping at the menu because there were a ridiculous number of fabulous choices in every category. My friends loved their mortadella crostini. My ricotta and preserved tomato crostini were lovely. The ricotta was a rich, creamy base for sweet cherry tomatoes, and all were perfectly seasoned. The fish stew was a huge hit with both who ordered it, including the lifelong commercial fisherman who insists on perfect seafood. The broth had hauntingly complex layers of flavors. The mussels disappeared quickly, along with every drop of broth. Two very different pasta dishes got highest marks. The fileja with Calabrian chile and sausage paste, tomato and onion highlights the sweet vibrancy of tomato, and is underscored by rich sausage and very subtle chile heat. Perfectly balanced. I opted for bucatini in a salted roe-olive oil dressing with fresh salmon eggs and green onion. Umami bomb with rich salty deliciousness throughout the dish. Amazing! Two of us had lemon tart for dessert. Both disappeared quickly. Limoncello was served in a little bulb-based liqueur glass. Lovely end to a fantastic meal! I'll be back in Astoria this afternoon...about to look up what time they open since there's so much more menu to explore! read more

Best Italian restaurant on the north coast. Expect a little wait because they don't reservations. Pastas are fresh and flavorful. Also highly recommend the meatballs. The cocktails are creative and help the wait pass quickly. read more

Amazing food. We came in at 5:30 on a Friday night and got our name on the list, went nearby and had a glass of wine and they called my phone 20 minutes before the time they predicted. The food was absolutely exceptional. It was the best Italian food we've had outside of Italy. We're here for two days and we are coming back tomorrow. read more

Absolutely wonderful northern Italian cuisine. Some of the best lasagna I've ever had anywhere Very nice owner who was keeping an eye on everything. Great service nice atmosphere. Not too fancy but very homey and comfortable. Now we have two favorite restaurants in Astoria, Fede and Drina Daisy. Carbonara pasta also quite delicious. And very reasonable prices. More than your money's worth. Not a large place. Get there early. read more

When describing this restaurant - along with it's owner - the word "pretentious" somehow comes to mind. Located in a plain, noisy space, often-filled with over-served and loud drunks, one might begin to get second-thoughts (go with them, please!) when your eating utensils are literally "dropped off" at you table by an indifferent server as she rushes by...wrapped in a plain, thin paper napkin! Then - wether you order it or not - they deliver a miniscule mouthful of hard bread, with either oil and vinegar, or a tiny pat of butter, which they then add on to your bill for $2.00...each! I mean, really, what decent Italian Restaurant charges extra for oil & vinegar or butter? Certainly NOT deNicolas in PDX! The menu, albeit limited, is uninspiring, small-portioned, greasy, and highly-overpriced for what is served. Nothing more to say than BEWARE! read more

The food is incredibly good, the staff is friendly, and the views if you get a window is pretty awesome. We have been here twice and the quality is very consistent. read more

Great location, lovely looking restaurant, and popular. However, the food is less than expected. Spaghetti was - frankly - tasteless. Meatballs were undercooked, and when I got them they were equally bland. For all the money I spent, it wasn't even up to the quality of a middle school cafeteria. Friendly and warm staff, but they really need to step it up with the menu. We won't be back. read more

Don't bother. They say they're open until 9 PM but stop seating at 5:30-6 PM and don't take reservations, making it essentially impossible to get into this empty, poorly managed restaurant. That's a shame, because the food is actually decent, and we could use a good Italian place in this town, especially one that could cater to tourists & locals alike (since the locals will keep the lights on all winter!) read more

Love this place Great people and delicious food! Seafood soup is delicious Can't wait to go back! read more

We had an incredible time at Fedé. All of the food was delicious, and the service was excellent. They don't take reservations so we got there early, but they didn't rush us or anything as we enjoyed our many different courses. The plates are very reasonably priced and we were able to try many different options, all of which were delicious (get the leeks!). The sweetest part was Faith, the owner: she shared with my boyfriend the kind of vermouth in their Manhattans and where in Portland to find it, and even better yet, when my boyfriend forgot his vintage shirt he had purchased at the restaurant, Faith came and found us at a nearby bar to return it to us! Truly the greatest dining experience we had in Astoria. read more

Well worth the wait. Outstanding food and drink. Lovely space on the Astoria Riverwalk. Central kitchen so you can watch if you wish, great waitstaff. We had a lovely evening. The Sugar Snap Peas (a take on Edamame) was so incredibly good, I am going to try to make it at home. My wife had the huckleberry fizz to start ( outstanding mix of gin, home made limoncello, and huckleberry). I don't drink alcohol, so I am going by her delighted description. We started with the Burratta sitting in a pool of fresh pea puree and covered with several streams of great herbal basil pesto. It made a perfect pairing with the fresh warm bread brought with it. We followed with the Caponata, the eggplant was small halved japanese with sliced sweet onions and some large slices of bell pepper. Very good, but I prefer it a bit more chopped up and more caper/olive overtones The pasta was enough to make me want to drive back out to the coast again for another dinner. Fresh made, complex shapes and flavors and perfectly cooked... We had the Radiatori and the Creste de Gallo pastas. The Radiatori worked so well with the sauce from the large tender pieces of braised lamb shank. The Creste de Gallo with Asparagus and Parmesan was my favorite, but I am partial to Asparagus (which was just firm enough to stand up to the al dente Creste de Gallo.It wa My eyes were bigger than my stomach, and so we also had a large and tender piece of Sablefish with tomato and olives. It was divine!! Packed up a lot of it so we could get dessert Lemon tart and Flourless Chocolate Torte a nice end to a perfect evening read more

Well,,, hello everyone My mother always told me that you can tell a great Italian restaurant by their bread. If she was right then we were in for a great meal. The server was outstanding and the food was excellent. The only thing that we didn't like was the desert. I will not judge them on this since I am not someone who eats a lot of deserts. Maybe this was just a bump on the road. Overall I am giving them four Stars because Astoria needs a great restaurant like this in our town. read more

Food was amazing. Some of the best authentic Italian we have had. Lasagna was very thin light layers of pasta, not heavy overbearing cheesy mess that often get in other Italian restaurants. Fresh, handmade pasta, delicious flavors. Also had Carbonara, was also a light pasta. Chef driven, scratch kitchen, all handmade fresh, excellent food and service. Cute quaint restaurant read more

Was amazed at the quality. Expected tourist fare and received so much more. Great food good drinks at a more affordable price than expected. Staff was friendly and professional. read more

Astoria - You are SO lucky to have Fede. It saves the cost of a plane flight to Italy. What a delightful place! The food is simple, authentic and tasty and the service is spot on. We stopped in yesterday with another couple we all loved it. We shared a number of plates from all the courses from the oysters to the octopus. The aromas, textures and flavors are perfect. The wine list is well curated. We will be back. read more

Pretty good food in a small town. The chef is wonderful. The views from the restaurant are beautiful. The service is a bit slow, I think they would benefit by hiring another person on. Once our food was given to us no one came back to check on us. We sat there with empty drinks through our meal. We wanted to order more appetizers and drinks, as the food was delicious. With that said, I would give this place another try in hopes the service is better. read more

Great and friendly service. Nice menu not sure what the background of Italy but was very nice. Good focaccia and fresh breath. Appetizer was spot on. Main house had class. Cooked perfectly. Not too pricey read more

Portions were SO SMALL! Especially for the price of the meal. It was delicious except I was still hungry after! We got the cheese plate for an appetizer and there was literally 4 pieces of cheese. Kind of a let down read more

Amazing service, food and atmosphere. I dream about the lasagna because it's sooooo good. The provolone and the pickled red onion crostinis and deviled eggs are amazing and the soups are always delicious. read more

Everything was perfect. Highly recommend. Great service. Delicious courses. Lovely place. Family small business owned. ‼ read more

The BEST food in Astoria! And honestly, maybe in Portland, too. Considering driving two hours from Portland to Astoria just to have dinner here again. My partner and I had searched all over for Astoria for good food but weren't satisfied until we ate at Fede. The muscles and oysters on the half shell were to die for! The pasta was amazing as well as the dessert and espresso at the very end. read more

Excellent service and wonderful food. The Seafood Soup was delicious and a meal by itself. Great way to celebrate our anniversary.

Loved our food. It was so good. Basil lemonade...delicious. Crostini...delicious. Meatballs....gigantic and delicious. Pastas...DELICIOUS! So glad I don't live here or I would go broke eating here every day! read more

We're grateful to the owners for opening this restaurant in Astoria! We very much need Portland-level restaurants here and are grateful to have you. We understand how difficult it is to start a new restaurant and how much time it takes to get everything running smoothly. With that in mind, we would like to offer some suggestions for making what is a great start into something even better: 1) The arugula salad is very peppery on it's own and was a little confusing to some of us at the table. Very little cheese left us with not much to recommend it. 2) The octopus dish was great -- perfectly cooked and a great entree. 3) The fresh pasta was really gummy and several of us had a hard time with it. We respect fresh pasta, but many restaurants use dried pasta because it has a much better texture. This is the most important suggestion we have -- we think a good quality dried pasta would have a much more positive reception. 4) The sauce with the sablefish is **outstanding**. Please keep this and continue to build on this kind of quality. That's it. We are big fans and are looking forward to our next visit. You have greatness that we want to see more of! read more

We had a true 10-star experience here! First, the space: It's located in a grand old building and is pleasant from outside (think wharf-y quaint). The inside is light, airy and inviting (not to mention very clean)! The bathroom is upstairs and the beautifully restored building still has that old building smell that I thoroughly enjoy. Next, our arrival. We were very warmly greeted as we walked in. We excitedly studied the menu and ordered some tasty starters: the deviled eggs are wonderful, the cucumbers were awesome, and the buratta was great. Two in my party ordered the fish soup and were surprised that it was much more complex, with mussels, etc. They reported that it was exquisite. The wine and cocktail menu was sufficiently long and had something for everyone. Now, for the food: Dear lord, the food here out of this world! I'm kind of a finicky eater, so I didn't try the mushroom pasta or the rainbow trout that my family ordered, but they said everything was absolutely DIVINE. I ordered the tagliatelle because I love meat sauce and it perfect. My brother ordered the lasagna (which was my second choice) and let me have a bite. OMG, I believe that the Fede lasagna is the best I've ever had! When we go back, I'm totally getting that! Next, let's discuss dessert. WOW! Ah-mazing! We got the orange olive cake and lemon tart, the latter of which was so stunningly delicious that we ordered a second slice AND the flourless chocolate cake. We all DEVOURED the lemon tart! Last, but definitely not least, the service was impeccable. Faith and Jen took such good care of us! And some members of my party can be a little taxing on ANYONE'S patience! But Faith and Jen handled it SO well and addressed every request and annoying question with patience and grace. We don't live close enough to come back here soon, and I regret that. This is my new favorite restaurant and I WILL return. I have to taste that lasagna again before I die! (Sorry I didn't post any pictures with this review.) read more

This place is one of the best restaurants in Astoria. My husband and I both tried the four corse meal. On point! Service was stellar as well. We will be back. read more

By far the best in Astoria. Delicious Italian food, excellent drinks and great service.

Great service, good food. The leeks with white wine, grana padano, and butter is delectable. The desserts options are wonderful as well.

The wait was unreal. By the time they took us, we weren't seated til 8, and by then, the 3 entrees I would have ordered on the menu were sold out! We were tired and don't like eating that late. Arugula salad was simple and good, the octopus was good but potatoes had no taste. Mixed mushrooms also lacked any flavor. The radiator pasta with braised lamb meat was outstanding. No reservations so we would go back early and have a drink and get on the wait list early! read more
