First went here about 6 years ago. Was not impressed at all. Great prices, mediocre food, decent server, rude / vitriolic / alcoholic owner. How things have changed! Beautiful decor, great prices, quality food, friendly staff. Only complaints were that there could have been more sauce on my pasta (I like it drowned in sauce) and our server was not attentive and was not seen in the front of house much. Other servers were on point, but ours was dreaming of being off shift. New ownership really shows. Will be back. read more

Ive been eating here for years and just realized I haven't reviewed it. This is usually my first choice when I have visitors from elsewhere. This time it is my daughter (my favorite daughter). My only daughter and she resides in Manhattan. Darn it's tough when the kids grow up. But back to Fulio's. My daughter really wanted some Buoy Cream Ale from the brewery on the river, but they had an hour wait. So it was plan B, which turned out to be the best choice. Not only do we get to chose from a new menu, but also from a nice list of steaks. And they had the Buoy Cream Ale my daughter wanted. So if you haven't eaten here give it a try. I had the ribeye and it was an A+. I'll be back to try the pasta dishes from the new menu. I'm hoping they have lasagna. read more

My fiance and I stopped in to get out of the cold and after looking around at the decor decided to stay and have a bite to eat. We asked our server if we could just have some steamer clams as an appetizer since they were offering linguini with clams as their special. He obliged and brought out at least five dozen of the most delicious Manila steamers I've ever (btw I'm a bit of a clam officanato) had along with bread and vinegar and oil. We were almost full when our main course arrived. We split the fillet mignon. It was delicious. Everything was perfect. I promise we'll be back. If I could say one thing could have been better was the heating or lack there of. We heard two other tables asking him to turn up the heat. They still get five stars though. Truthfully, I'd give them more if I could!! read more

This place is legit! Rack of lamb is fantastic. Not your typical run of the mill Italian joint, lasagna is on point. Great wine selection. Friendly staff. Enough said read more

I visited here from Texas and our server Wendy was amazing. Literally the sweetest and so personable. The food is also great. Everything is so flavorful. Love the lasagna!! If you are ever in the Astoria area you should stop at this cute place and ask for Wendy. read more

Even with COVID, we went to Oregon for a trip with a few friends and the atmosphere was beautiful!!! The food was something that I'm sure you could only experience at Fulio's with the warm welcome and friendly staff. Would recommend this place to anyone that even might just be driving through Astoria! read more

I called several times, no one picked up. Then came into open restaurant, no one to be seen. Said hello three times -with no answer. Was on a schedule-so ended up at silver salmon next door. Great food and service at Silver Salmon- go there not Fulios. read more

never again in life!!! i really wanted to like this place... but it was sooooooooo disgusting! they had fruit flies flying all over the restaurant. when we asked the server if there was somewhere else we could sit, he said that they had a fruit fly infestation and they were everywhere! then the flies landed on our food and i wanted to vomit. this place should be shut down because if the fruit flies are in the dining room like that... what the hell does their kitchen look like? grossssssssssss!!! read more

I love Fulio's (rigatoni mustarde salsiccia for dayssss) but my last visit there was a little off.. I brought some friends in and had raved about the pasta so I was a little disappointed when my friend's minestrone came and it was straight up cold. Instead of heating it up, she was made to switch to a totally different soup. And this isn't that big of a deal, but the soup came in a Chinese restaurant rice bowl that was on a glass saucer. Huh? Not really fitting with the rest of the dinnerware or the fine dining atmosphere that Fulio's seeks to foster. The second disappointment were the bags of Lay's potato chips that came with my friends' sandwiches. Really? Fulio's isn't a grab and go spot so they should really be looking into stepping up their chip game. read more

Food was not very good. Service was good and friendly staff. My pasta was cooked with to much mustard and was all I could taste. We asked for bread and after 10 minutes asked again they said it was in the oven yet when it . Finally cam it was cold. read more

This is a restaurant that does not appreciate their hard working, responsible employees. One of their waitstaff injured her shoulder and had to wear a sling. This person didn't call in, no they sucked it up and fulfilled the commitment of working their shift. The manager fired them on Christmas eve, in front of guests, and fellow employees because " how would it look to have an employee work with a sling on"! I hope that you will choose to take your business else where, to a business that respects their fellow human beings and appreciates their hard working, loyal employees!!! read more

We walked in and watched the woman doing set-up on the tables for a few moments. She saw us walk in but decided it was more important to do set up than greet customers to her establishment. I assume it was her establishment as I was sure it was her likeness on the sandwich board underneath the jester cap I just saw outside. So we caught her eye and asked it we could read a menu. As my adult daughter reached for it, she came over immediately and mumbled something we don't know what as she reached for the menu. And we are never going to know what because guess what? We walked right out. Fulio's, it just pasta, okay? Noodles, cooked in water covered in different sauces. That's what you do. No need for attitude. read more

Hi my name is Jeffrey Glosser. A few friends of mine took me to Fulio's on the evening of the 19th for my 52nd birthday dinner. We were a small gathering of 5, down a couple from what we were expecting, but we did call ahead to let the staff know so to make changes. Our food was fantastic, no complaints there. Our waiter on the other hand is another story. His name is Todd. Todd seemed to either be having a really hard night or had a really bad attitude from the start because that's about all we received from him. I've worked restaurants in my days.. I know it can be hard, but that's no excuse to take it out on the customers. You work the customer service field, you keep it professional.. this was not the case last night. He was really short and gave attitude when we requested the bill be fixed after he didn't hear that a certain party was supposed to have theirs separate... how hard is it to fix a bill? Anyways, like I said.. food was great, but it was hard to ignore the service and it put a damper on my birthday. Jeffrey A. Glosser read more

My husband and I stopped for lunch at Fulio's Pastaria on a recent trip to the Oregon Coast. Beyond experiencing excellent service and enjoying delicious food, the meals, comprised of basic Italian specialties, were "correct." Having traveled extensively in Italy, there are so many restaurants in the U.S. that serve an American version of Italian food--the heavy-tasting and overcooked stuff that you can get just about anywhere. When you find a restaurant that does Italian food the way that it's supposed to be done--the way that it's done in Italy--you want to tell everyone about it! Fulio's is one of these places. I'm just sad we don't live closer. read more

Visiting astoria from pdx. Looked at the reviews for this place. Saw the positive reviews and reserved dinner for 2 on a Friday night for our anniversary dinner. This is my first negative review. I always have written only positive reviews. Writing negative is only harmful to business. At the end of the day people are just people trying to do their jobs. If you dont have something good to say then dont say it at all. But, fulios. Wow, this place was an experience I will never forget. Because it was so bad. Terrible service. Didn't get seated until 15 minutes of standing awkwardly behind a podium. Despite making a reservation online three weeks prior. People behind us actually left cuz the wait was so long. As did others. One of the them actually walked out angry and loudly because the waiter (who is one of the total three working there) was being extremely rude. You could tell their defineltly overworked. Food. Started with bread (yes you have to pay for it) and puney salad. Bread which is okay, is served w balsamic and oil that is just poured into a small container. Couldnt even reach the balsamic stuck on the bottom without completely sponging out the oil. Small detail but who serves that? Just put it on a plate instead. Ordered salad without meat. When it arrived with sausage all over asked for a new salad the server didn't even apologize. Just rude. Serving meat to vegetarians is a pretty offensive. But hey the main entrée, the italian pasta must be good. Nope. I could've boiled pasta at home and it would've been better. After getting our order wrong twice, bringing us other people's orders finally got our mushroom alfredo fettuccine and tomato linguini thing with shrimp. Mushrooms that couldn't be found in the watered down alfredo. And tomato sauce that was definetly from a can. Shrimp that were definetly frozen. Metal taste. Gross. Couldn't even finish it. Nasty aftertaste all night. We just wanted to leave. Heard numerous other people complaining right and left. Gave them a tip but just felt sorry for them. They definetly need to redo their restaurant workflow. Starting with working on customer service followed by quality of food. Especially if theyre gonna be charging the way they do. Idk if this was just a poor night but i Would NOT recommend this place. read more

The Fettuccine Alfredo with rock shrimp was awesome! The pasta was great, the service was great and the turnaround was quick. I'm from New Jersey and this was great Italian food. read more

I wish their "specials" actually changed like a normal restaurant instead they are the same specials for years in end. Not much variety there. Ive been here multiple times in hopes that things changed. However im pretty darn sure the butternut squash ravioli with curry sauce has been on the special list every single time ive gone in and I can get the same ravioli and sauce at costco. read more

One of the best Italian joints I've been to in a long time. The menu ranges from very simple Italian staples to some creative but classy dishes. Service was great, the seared Caesar salad was different and tasty, the wine list was pretty balanced with some inexpensive/delicious options, the Butternut squash ravioli was amazing and the vibe was what you would want in an Italian place. As far as Astoria goes, I think this is the best place. Everywhere else, with the exception of the Columbian Cafe, is a bit of a disappointment. read more

Ambience is fine. Dinner salad was very good. We had lasagna and it was good but lacked some seasoning that would have made it truly Italian. We did not like the deceptiveness we encountered when the waiter asked if we would like some bread and balsamic with olive oil. When we asked if that came with the entree we were told no,"but it is only $2". We would not go back. read more

Food was ok but nothing special; it's hard to really screw up Italian! Marinara and pasta was pretty basic. Bonus that they do have gluten free pasta if you're into that. The wine was atrocious, like sweet vinegar. This is a family run business, but I don't know what's up in Astoria but the service is universally sub-par and often rude. Our server was prompt, but barely spoke to us. On the expensive side too, and like other reviewers, watch out for hidden charges on the bill. read more

I am giving a low mark for service not food. Food was great. They did give us a free dessert when I spoke up so will return and give them another chance. read more

Wow! Amazing. The food was delicious and huge portions with minimal prices. The waitress was amazing....she was the only waitress with 7 full tables at 7:30pm and had an amazing attitude. She was very helpful and was able to answer all our questions. We even have enough food for lunch tomorrow. Will 100% come back again. read more

After a beautiful day in Astoria, we chose to try an Italian restaurant for dinner...knowing it was risky...after all, this is Astoria, not Portland. We were pleasantly surprised by Fulio's. Though it isn't authentic by any means, it does have a great atmosphere and friendly service. The food is ok but not great...with one exception and I'll get to that in a minute...I had an appetizer for my meal, a small "tower" of portabella, eggplant, mozzarella (house made, I believe) and roma tomato. Probably should have been served warmer and, perhaps, less olive oil. I had a glass of chianti which I did not finish..you get what you pay for. My dinner partner had chicken parm with a side of pasta. The sauce was fresh although everything needed seasoning. We shared a bread plate of La Brea Italian bread. For $2 it's a good buy. It is not served warm or crisp but is fresh. By far, the best was dessert. The server suggested a small scoop of maple and pancetta homemade ice cream to share. It was fantastic!!! It was easily as good as a scoop at Salt and Straw. Though this isn't an eclectic Portland type restaurant, it certainly isn't chef Boyardi in a can. read more

I love this restaurant! Great food, really fair prices...love the veal or chicken marsala, the BEST Lemon cheescake ever! what more do you need? read more

We have been here four or five times and usually prefer to eat lunch here, but this past weekend stopped for dinner and had a wonderful experience. The fresh bread is just yummy and they keep it coming. There pollo marsalla was awesome with garlic mash potatoes as well as grilled asparagus. The chicken parmagian was the best we tried in a long time. This is a wonderful place, a little pricey, but well worth it, great atmosphere and we had a wonderful waitress. We really enjoyed the relaxed pace and environment. read more

My wife and I were spending a long weekend in Astoria and were looking for a dinner spot, we hadn't been to Fulio's before. We didn't want the beer pub type food again so we figured we would give it a try. Have to say, one of the best dinners in Astoria we have had. Very friendly staff and were quick to answer questions. We got a great bottle of wine and ordered, my wife ordered the Ribeye and I ordered a pasta dish knowing my wife would end up giving me half of her dinner. Steak was cooked perfect and the pasta was cooked as it should be. We ordered a salad to start and the staff rolled everything out with perfect timing. We were quite full so no desert, we kept saying how good everything was... We were also very happy when we got the bill, we had lunch on the peninsula and were not impressed with the food or the high cost, our bill at Fulio's, even with a bottle of wine, was less than our crappy lunch.... For Astoria, this is a great place, you can't compare it to a San Francisco or New York restaurant, but we will be back the next time we are in town. One of the top places to eat! read more

Stopped in here for lunch and it was possibly the BEST Italian food I've ever had. I had an Italian sausage sub and my wife had chicken fettuccine alfredo. I can't articulate how good everything was. Jimmy was our waiter and he was awesome. read more

Astoria is resplendent with fine eateries. Not fine in the sense of "refined" but fine in the sense of "great" little restaurants. Given the size of this little out of the way village, you would do yourself a disservice not to spend quality time investigating the plethora of fine "great" eating experiences available here. Fulio's is an unassuming restaurant tucked away on the main street serving quality Tuscan fare concentrating on fresh ingredients prepared just the way you would expect to find in towns such as Lucca or Florence in Tuscany. The service is efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. This is such a relief after trying a multitude of faux Tuscan places that believe pasta on a plate is all that is needed to market themselves as Italian. I have enjoyed the Puttanesca, Bistec, and several of their salads and without a notion of complaint. Do yourself a favor and give this place a shot. It'll save you the airfare to Italy and you'll not be able to tell the difference. read more

Yum! Recommended by a friend and after reading the Yelp postings - I ordered the sausage & mustard wide tube pasta. Totally addicting. I ate it so slow, but it still all disappeared. Atmosphere is a bit odd with clown dolls sitting on top of furniture (not a fan of clowns), but all in all a pretty great meal. Service was excellent & prices were right. read more

Cute little place. The owner stayed open one night when we came calling at the door. We had just gotten into Astoria from Seattle and it hit the spot to eat there. read more

Absolutely phenomenal! Fresh, delicious and everything was made in house! As a family of 8 we all had different dishes and no one was disappointed. read more

Will not go back. Mediocre Italian food. My raviolis tasted like they had been microwaved and my husbands pasta with marinara sauce was inedible. It's really too bad because the space is very nice but, the food is not worth it. read more

We enjoyed an anniversary dinner here on the spur of the moment, and both my wife and I couldn't have been more pleased. The pasta dishes tasted freshly-made, the Caprese appetizer hit the mark, and the service was friendly and enjoyable. You really should do yourself a favor and try the Ravioli di Zucca. Dine with confidence! read more

I have been to Fulios on several occasions for staff dinner parties, but just recently I visited for a more casual lunch date. The restaurant, located near the heart of commercial, sports two street-facing window booths that are almost always full with couples dining. The interior runs deep, with a variety of booths and tables leading back to their (small) party space. The decor is warm and inviting, although nothing really stood out to me. Their menu includes a wide selection of Italian antipasto, salads, pasta, main dishes--such as steak or chicken, and of course desserts. Previously, I've ordered from their dinner specials which were usually a steak of some kind with a little side of vegetables and I always opted for the mashed potatoes, although you may order a side of pasta instead. The steaks have always been nicely seasoned, cooked carefully, and overall delicious. I am a stickler about my veggies but I have always been pleased by what they have served me here. I have also had the pleasure of sampling some of their desserts, such as the tiramisu, which I found generally enjoyable. For my lunch date, however, we decided to order from their pasta menu. My dining partner ordered the fettuccine alfredo with smoked salmon, and I ordered the spagetti con polpette (meatball). We started with a very fairly priced side order of bread with oil and vinegar--which, suprisingly, came with a refill at no extra charge! I have to say I agree with other reviewers that the oil and vinegar was served in too deep of a ramekin, but that hardly influenced the flavor--it's just an aesthetic prefrence. Regardless, service was prompt and friendly, and our main dishes arrived in a timely and attractive fashion. Although my dish had more visual pizazz, I preferred the fettucini. My spaghetti had the right consistency (although it needed salt), but the marinara is what really let me down. Perhaps this is because I am used to my mother's sauce--which was always closer to a bologanese with lots of meat--but even for a simple tomato sauce I felt like I've had better flavor from a jar. There was no hint of basil, oregano, or even salt really--totally uninspired by real Italian cooking. Unfortunately, I found the meatball to be similarly disappointing. That being said, if you have simpler tastes (or have picky children) I think this would be a satisfactory meal. The fettucini on the other hand was creamy and delightful. However, I am suspicious that the smoked salmon and capers were what made this dish so spectacular, because their flavor is really what I liked about this dish--so I can't say whether the chicken or shrimp options would be as great. In sum, I would not really reccomend Fulios for pasta, but I have enjoyed my previous experiences with their steaks and desserts, so they are definitely worth a try. read more

The food was great, I was expecting larger servings then what we received. Watch out the waiter may drop a beer in your lap.

Service is without a doubt the best in Oregon. Menu is full of gems...dig into it. Butternut ravs are excellent. Fillet cooked perfect. Wine selection worthy of Oregon's finest. Atmosphere is very warm and relaxing. read more

Delicious homestyle Italian restaurant with moderate prices, traditional Italian fare, and kind service.

I came here while visiting Astoria a couple weeks ago and the food was amazing. The atmosphere is very classy and the service is wonderful as well. Some of the best fettuccine I've ever tasted. Prices are about average. I didn't expect such great food from such a small, hole in the wall place. It's cozy! read more

The casual atmosphere of the wait staff was pleasant but at the same time they were very observant and checked in frequently. We had a few cocktail and enjoyed the antipasto di carne and steak was delicious. Will probably make another stop to try the pasta. read more

Staff was friendly but I was disappointed in the food. Sauce was on the sweet side, raviolis a bit dry and the fish was half moist and half dry?!?!?! We'll skip this one next time we're in town. read more
