    Loved it, we came here for pizza and salad...my first meal this trip! It didn't disappoint....I had a white pizza and caprese salad...it was wonderful....and they had ginger beer! Winning!!! Always nice to have all the elements to a great meal!

    We stopped here just for a drinks & my espresso martini was very good They have indoor & outdoor seating. We sat outside & the breeze was great on a warm afternoon.

    (SL) Margherita

    I ordered delivery for the first time and got the small Margherita pizza and WOW. The very first bite literally felt like heaven. Everything was cooked perfectly: the crust had the perfect texture, the flavors were balanced, and the sauce was absolutely delicious. The fresh mozzarella was creamy and rich, the basil tasted bright and fresh, and it all came together so beautifully. I loved it so much that I actually called the restaurant just to tell them how amazing it was. I'm 100% going to keep ordering from here, and I'm recommending it to everyone I know. I haven't even been to the restaurant in person yet, but after this experience, I'm definitely going soon. Thank you so much!

    The mushroom truffle pizza had to be my favorite pizza for brunch. It was super tasty and you kind of crave it when you're done eating it. The Hugo spritz paired really well with the pizza. Will definitely be back to try more options on their menu.

    In addition to the dishes posted - we also shared a pizza. The burrata canvas was the highlight of the meal but everything was delicious. The restaurant is small and cute - we sat inside and even though they had a quick turnaround for a private event they let us relax. The server was very attentive. My companion had a drink that was well prepared - but I was satisfied with the tap water and a soda. I was glad they had Coke Zero which is my favorite soft drink. I look forward to returning in the future to try other pizzas and appetizers.

    starting with my usual Shirley temple
    Cindy L.

    I came here twice while I was staying for a week in Astoria since the menu just looked so good! On the first instance, I got the burrata canvas and a Shirley temple. The streak of good, balanced shirley temples continues! The burrata canvas has me a little conflicted though, I felt like the mini calzones tasted very similarly to each other. My favorites were the mushroom (surprising) and margherita (unsurprising). But the only real difference between them was that the mushroom one didn't have tomato. The diavolo one tasted almost exactly like the margherita one except for one spicy bite. My least favorite was the broccoli rabe and sausage one, I think I was just expecting a different taste maybe like a sweet sausage but it was more bitter from the broccoli rabe. The best part of the whole canvas was the dough though. It tasted like actual pizza dough, way better than a lot of the calzones I've had at typical pizzerias. On my second visit, I ordered a mocktail that was a spirit free version of the mango peño (I think) and it was so tasty!!! I absolutely LOVED the burrata salad, the arugula was quite perfectly dressed in something that added a saltiness that was honestly addictive and perfectly balanced the creamy burrata and peppery arugula. I ate the whole thing! And I also ate the whole personal margherita pizza. I REALLY love margherita pizza and this one was just so fresh and delicious. I almost came back a third time. I really want to come back for one of their pizza making classes too!

    Rice Ball Special
    Danielle P.

    The food here is good. The problem is that Astoria is full of spots similar to Macoletta which are outstanding. Still, I find myself back here at least once per year since it's so close to the park. This time around we tried the rice ball special which was crispy, but a little bland. The Napolitano pizza with capers was one of the better pies I've had here, though I had to ask for the anchovies on the side since my partner is vegetarian. We ended up having leftovers, which they boxed along with the anchovies which means those are now my leftovers since the slices have been contaminated. Service is always friendly and swift, and the ambiance is modern but cozy. We sat in front of the pizza oven this time which was fun to watch. It actually rotates and times the pizza cook so that everything cooks evenly, which is actually kind of genius.

    Tiramisu
    Jasleen K.

    Came here early afternoon for a bite with a pal. Enjoyed myself a nice cocktail and got the spicy pizza. I forget the name, but it was with some spicy salami and honey on top. Although I didn't taste the honey my friend did. I likely should have requested them to change out the salami with pepperoni since it was a little meaty for me. The pasta was also delicious. It was a mushroom based Alfredo and I only recommend it to those that actually like mushrooms because the flavor isn't hidden, which is exactly what I wanted. The server was also super sweet, I asked him to make it spicy for me and he did. For dinner before on the ambience is beautiful. Some days they play jazz music.

    This place is delicious!! They have an open kitchen so the food is prepared right in front of you. Beautiful woodburning stove in front of you while you eat as well.

    Rigatoni Bolognese and Asiatico
    Evbu O.

    I stopped into Macoletta with a couple of friends on a Friday night, about an hour before closing. We were seated outside, which has a lovely setup with great city views. Our waiter was friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome. We shared the Rigatoni Bolognese, the Asiatico salad, and a pizza--all of which were delicious! We enjoyed every bite. If you're looking for a relaxed spot with great food, this is the place for you.

    Menu

    One of the best meals in a long time, so incredibly fresh and baked perfectly, not a moment overdone. Each item was special and perfectly done. Was a wonderful surprise for someone who doesn't particularly seek out pizza. Service was incredibly endearing and lovable, just a normal, real woman being herself and trying to help you have a wonderful meal and day, and succeeding. Only things that would be great to adjust, but wouldn't keep you from visiting, is prohibiting smoking at or near the outdoor tables, and to place leftovers in a wider box rather than slices on top of one another. No dealbreakers. Such a good experience.

    Forst Italian draft beer
    Chris A.

    So many brick oven pizza choices here ! The inside, when you walk in, is very cozy and clean . The waitress we had was so sweet and even helped us pick out a pizza . We tried 2 : Diablo - baked with Tomatoes , fresh Mozzarella, spicy Salami, Calabrian Chili and honey - read those ingredients again - yep , incredible! The second one based on the waitress suggestion was the Crudo - Tomatoes, fresh Mozzarella, arugula, Parmigiano Reggiano, Prosciutto - and again, read those ingredients - yummy !!! I think each pizza complemented each other. One more on the spicy side, the other more on the refreshing . They were both delicious and my oh my I love the crust. I had to indulge in an Italian draft - Forst - the perfect draft beer for any of the pizza choices . Great place for groups and a lot of outdoor dining areas .

    (SM) Diablo and Spaghetti Pomodoro
    Krystal O.

    This restaurant is so cute! I had such a nice dinner date with my husband. Maria was so sweet and she was attentive and no pressure... love that:. Looking forward to coming here more, they have outdoor seating and are dog friendly too. A++++++++ Diablo pizza was DELICIOUS and pasta was too. Great happy hour ;-)

It's a pretty nice sports bar with large TV screens throughout the place so will definitely be on my list of places to hit up to watch a few games! Overall food and service was on point, but also it was a random weeknight where there wasn't a crowd. Either way, recommend this bar if you're looking to grab a bite or watch a game! Classic Waygu Burger - 4/5 Great tasting and juicy burger, but one thing I wish was included was a side of fries at bare minimum. Cook of the meat was on point Disco Fries - 5/5 - Think of it as poutine but with mozzarella instead. Great side dish to a burger

    What to make of this place?…read more When we visited in September (at that time), a wanna-be sports bar had just taken over the Greek taverna Blue Sea Taverna (before that, two iterations of Akrotiri). Both Greek tavernas had failed or gone out of business. So we were curious to see what changes had been made. When we entered, we were initially confused because the seating, especially the lounge seating, did not create a sports bar vibe. Even adding a bunch of TVs did not give us that feel either. Instead, our initial impression was that they were trying to convert an old Greek taverna into a gastropub, similar to other well-known ones in the area. And I should also add we had not been following the local news about the controversy regarding their name association with a World War II fortified bunker that was blown up at the end of the Second World War, and only read about the controversy over their name after we left, and on social media. Apparently, the owner(s) were most likely unaware of its historical context when naming their establishment. So we did not factor that into this review. Upon entering the Wolf's Lair, the seating was that of a modified Mediterranean restaurant. We chose the comfy seating looking out towards 29th Street and 30th Avenue. It had been raining heavily, and so we were just glad to be inside. Because our initial impression was that we were in a Mediterranean gastropub, we ordered lamb chops with lemon potatoes. The waiter, who may have been one of the owners, informed us that this vegetable was not on the menu; however, when our chops arrived, as you can see from the photos, we were indeed served lemon potatoes. We got what we ordered, which made us happy, and the chops were cooked to perfection. As we usually do not drink alcohol, beverages were not factored into our review. However, there was one thing we found a little strange and creepy. When we left, one of the employees, presumably an owner, insisted on coming out to help take photos. This was a little off-putting. Nevertheless, we got some good shots. In writing this review, we spent a lot of time deliberating our experience at the Wolf's Lair. We focused on the restaurant, service, food quality, and atmosphere. While the overall experience was excellent, we did not find Wolf's Lair to have a sports-bar atmosphere, but rather a family-dining atmosphere. On the day we visited, there was hardly any action at the bar, and most of us seated were into the food, if nothing else, with one family having a birthday party for one of their children. Overall, we had a good experience. Whether we come back to see if the Wolf's Lair becomes an actual sports bar, well, that's another matter.

    Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden is a historic, family-friendly beer garden in Astoria, Queens, known…read morefor its expansive outdoor seating, traditional Czech and Slovak cuisine, and a wide selection of beers. It is the last original beer garden remaining in New York City. On a hot summer day, the Beer Garden just off 31st street is the place to come and relax, watch a game or event, or, at other times, attend a civic or social meeting with local elected officials in one of their private rooms or the main auditorium. I was here last July to hang out and hold an outdoor meeting about a local park in Astoria. We had a choice of burgers, mac and cheese, pizza schnotzel, beer-battered onion rings, and various fried foods. However, there is one aspect of going to the Beer Garden that I ABSOLUTELY HATE, and that is bouncers frisking down visitors or asking customers to show an ID. In my opinion, that is a turnoff and unnecessary action taken, for orderly, polite adults, and makes you feel as if you are in a strip club, and thus an invasion of the person's right to privacy. I recommend, yes, but it is best to go when you want to attend a group event.

They host silent discos here often, which is super cool! It costs just $15 per person, which is a great price. If you haven't attended a silent disco yet, you'll definitely want to add it to your list!! Basically, there are multiple DJs (typically 3 different ones here) that each play a different genre of music. Each person participating gets a set of headphones with 3 different channels - one set to each of the DJs. Additionally, each channel makes the headphones light up a different color. For example, DJ #1 is blue, DJ #2 is red and DJ #3 is green. This lets you see who else is tuning into the same DJ channel as you. It's soooo fun!! Silent Disco nights are also perfect for large groups of friends where some want to go dance and others just want to sit and talk. Because the music is only being played through the headphones, it makes for a relatively peaceful atmosphere for those NOT wanting to deal with loud music. A win-win for everyone! It's pretty empty on weeknights, but can get really packed on the weekends so just be mindful of that! Pro Tip: don't stand in the massive line outside to get a beer - head inside and get it from the bar. One Friday night when we were here, we saw an insanely long line outside, so we walked inside to find ONE other person ordering from the two bartenders indoors. We had no wait time while everyone else outside stood there for quite awhile.
