I went to Sotta La Luna because I've been to its sister restaurant, Sotto Le Stelle, which had a pretty similar menu. Sotto definitely has a different vibe. When I walked in and saw the open kitchen around it there was a sign that said it was voted the best Italian restaurant for 2024 and 2025. Although it didnt say where exactly. Was it for Queens or New York in general? I wasn't sure how official it was. I suggest making reservations if you would like dinner around 6-8pm. Our table was right by the open kitchen, and it was actually really cool watching the chefs work while we ate. Foodwise, we started with the arancini balls which were delicious. For the main, I ordered the fettuccine al ragu filetto and I'm glad that I did because it was a bit different from the usual pasta dishes I've had before. However the pizza cacio e salasiccia was a bit salty for my taste. For dessert we ordered the panna cotta of the day which was a berry one. That was really good. Definitely recommend ordering that one as it was light, creamy and the berries made it flavorful.

Great food and wine, I love their pizza, but can be pricey for the portion size for some items. The gluten-free items I've tried here are REALLY delicious, were also liked by friends who are not gluten-free. Part of reason for giving less than 5 stars because at my most recent visit the staff asked if we want bread, and since one in our party is gluten-free we can have gluten-free foccaccia. We were not informed that there is an extra charge until we saw the $14.50 charge for foccaccia on the bill. I do not remember if they offer complimentary bread service or if that would be for an additional charge as well. As for the regular review: It's a large space, nice ambiance and not too loud. Other than not informing us of the charge for gluten-free foccaccia, the staff was helpful and friendly the rest of the night. Tonight we (party of 2) came here for NYC Restaurant Week prix fixe dinner. Very good deal for the amount and quality of food. One of us is vegetarian the other is gluten-sensitive so we wish the restaurant week menu items were labeled accordingly. (The regular menu does label GF items.) There are plenty of vegetarian options on the menus but we had to ask to be sure since these are not labeled. Our restaurant week dinner order items were all delicious: Appetizers: Tortino Di Zucca butternut squash (Veg) Tartare de Tonno yellowfin tuna tartare (recommended by our server) Mains: Pizza Primavera (plus $4 upcharge for gluten-free crust, which we were informed of upfront) Ravioli Ricotta e Spinaci (veg) Desserts: Tiramisu Panna Cotta I want to come back to try the gluten-free chocolate dessert Torta Caprese. I would have ordered this for restaurant week if it was labeled GF on the restaurant week menu, didn't see until after our main meal that it was labeled GF on the dessert menu, and by then it was too late to switch desserts. Bonus: they participate in InKind app which had a bonus deal for restaurant week

We had high hopes as we heard so many good things about this place, and were finally able to try them when we had to be in that area in Queens one night. The place was nicely decorated, but tables are a bit too close together. Service was spotty but I think it's because they're understaffed. The servers were trying their best but we had to flag them down many times for different things. The food was mostly fairly good, although I'd say the pasta dishes were a bit bland and could be more flavorful (not necessarily salty). It's very homey, like something I could whip up at home, as I try to be health conscious when I cook. But that's not what I expect when I go out to eat, I expect bolder flavors.

10/10/2025 -bday lunch!
Edna G.

I chose this place to have my bday lunch because they offered the cheese bowl pasta performance. Haha. Have always wanted to see it and try it. Getting here by google maps was easy taking the train. This was located in Astoria, NY. If driving, you can find parking but I would not drive in NY. This was a nice quaint spot for locals. Very beautiful inside with lots of green plants and big windows to see through. I saw there is outdoor seating if it's possibly crowded inside. I can tell it would be more busy with locals in the evening. It's a nice spot to have a date or have a group dinner. We made reservations for our family of 6 but it was not crowded on a Friday late lunch. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. Everyone chose a different dish to try out. I had a Peach Moscow Mule cocktail to start. It was good and strong. Choose: Casio e Pepe (****) - spaghetti with pecorino cheese and black pepper. The cheese bowl soaked in pure cheese and probably a little pasta water. They gave a lot and my daughter and I both got this. We should have shared. Margherita pizza (***) needed more cheese. Haha Calamarata pasta (****) - ring pasta with small bites of salmon. Would have been good if it had bigger pcs of salmon. Gnocchi (***) - gnoochi with cherry tomatoes and raw shrimp and cheese. I just didn't like the raw shrimp but that was me. Ragu (***) - fettuccine with fillet mignon. The meat was more than the pasta and needed cheese. They had other dishes I wanted to try. I love pasta and cheese! They also gave us a round of shots but not sure what it was but it was delish. All in all, the service was good, location and restaurant were nice, prices were decent for an Italian restaurant, and some of the dishes I would get again. I would recommend it here. [94R,2025]

One of my fav Italian spots in all of Queens. Cutting straight to the chase here. The must get here is the Caico e Pepe. It comes table-side in a cheese wheel and it is everything! I heated up the leftovers this morning for breakfast and it was just as good as last night. Thursday night and the place was well attended. The host/server allowed me to be seated before my friend arrived and gave me my choice of where to sit. I found a spot by the window and it was the perfect spot to catch up with my friend when she arrived. The service was just perfect! The place itself is so cute. Dim lit and perfect for a date night. Their pizzas look sooo yummy and that will be for next time. I already am planning our next visit. I want to bring my sisters. They would eat this up.

FETTUCCINE AL RAGOUT
Alan S.

Living in the neighborhood for over three years, this restaurant appeared crowded every time I walked by it. I finally decided to give it a try on a Monday, and I was not disappointed. I've been to Italy before and I've gotten a taste of how their pasta & pizza are. I'm not a huge food expert so it's hard for me to say what's "authentic" but the food here tasted similar to what I had when I was in Italy. Pizza tasted completely different than your typical pizza store because all the ingredients here just tasted more "fresh". I kept it simple with the Margherita pie & I'd definitely get again. It wasn't heavy & perfect size to share as an appetizer. Ragu: Rich, hearty, and full of flavor. The fettuccine was perfectly al dente, and the filet mignon ragout had a deep, slow-cooked taste with tender meat and just the right balance of tomato and sauce. A comforting classic done right. Pomodoro: Simple, and fresh. The sauce was light but vibrant, with sweet, ripe tomatoes and a hint of garlic and basil. Perfectly paired with al dente pasta for a clean, classic taste. Overall, if you want a taste of Italy in Astoria, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try!

Pizza Sampler
Harold D.

Great authentic Italian spot in Astoria, NY. Spoke with Gianluca and he was very hospitable as our server. We ordered the Pizza Sampler and one of their specials - my Italian wife approved of all the dishes we ordered. The seating and setting inside is nice for a date night out. I'd definitely come back here to try their other dishes

FUSILLONE ALLA BOLOGNESE VEGANA
Danielle P.

Solid Italian spot. If I lived closer this might have ended up being my go-to, but I have to say that Vite is still a cut above this place. With that out of the way, Sotto La Luna does have good food. The ambiance here really feels like you're stepping into the kitchen of an Italian restaurant (in a good way). The kitchen is out in the open, so you can see your food being prepared if you're sitting close enough. We had just come from Sala's happy hour next door so we were good on drinks. We kicked things off with the arancini which were good but really needed a kick or some type of acidity - I wasn't a fan of the white sauce they served it with. The margarita pizza's crust was good, but the cheese and sauce were a bit watery in the middle. We tried their vegan pasta which was also good, but tasted like something you could easily make at home. I'd come back and try other things here to give it another shot though.

TOP DISH CACIO E PEPE AMAZING!
Jennifer T.

I came here for dinner with my husband and sister unfortunately on a 95 degree day. The restaurant had no air conditioning. If we would have known that we would have went someplace else and dined here on a different day. We started out with the arancini which was AMAZING! The rice inside was so creamy! We also had the insalata cici for an appetizer. It sounded good, but it was too dry to eat. It needed way more dressing than it had. We all had homemade pasta dishes fettuccine with filet mignon, granchio, and cacio e Pepe. The were all very good, but the cacio e Pepe was by far the BEST! It was one of the best cacio e Pepe pasta dishes I ever had! We didn't stay for dessert because it was way too hot! I recommend Sotto La Luna in Astoria!

ARANCINI DEL GIORNO
Tyla B.

Had a good time with the family. Food was good but got cold fast... possibly bc we were sitting near the door. Arancini was... interesting but the sauce was banging. Service was great. Our waitress was very attentive and explained anything we had questions about on the menu. Standouts: Pistachio Gelato Focaccia Tagliere Shirley temple, Peach mojito, Passion fruit Mule

Linda M.

Went on 1/1 - they were open! I'm so happy we finally made it here because I've passed by so many times and it's been on my list of places to try. We ordered the aranchini rice balls for a starter, then the tonnarelli cacio e Pepe and the soleluna as entrees. The rice balls were absolutely amazing, highly recommend! Perfect temperature too, as I've had rice balls that burnt the roof of my mouth. Excellent texture and flavor in each bite with the mayonnaise sauce. The tonnarelli pasta dish comes with a cheese wheel on a cart with a man that spins the pasta around and serves you the pasta fresh drenched in the cheese. Very intriguing experience but the pasta itself was too rich and heavy for my taste. Very thick and would not be good alone without other dishes to break up the taste. The soleluna is a half calzone and pizza combination, highly recommend ordering this! Excellent flavor with a balance of the red pizza and the white cheese of the calzone. Overall definitely coming back! Love the lights and live plants hanging on the pergola-like ceiling. The service was very prompt as well. Great experience!

Parppardella with lamb ragout
Jason M.

What a great place. I visited while on a business trip and had a wonderful meal and service. I was able to use the InKind app too.

FRITTO MISTO
Samantha J.

Cute place. Service was slow. And servers were pretty much just tossing your plate on the table. The frutti misto appetizer was great. Loved the mixture of calamari, shrimp, zucchini & artichokes. Cacio e Pepe was good. Loved that it was prepped in the Parmesan wheel.

The decor is simple but cozy, it seems like a place you find yourself in, in the middle of the week. The food: Anchovy Special with Arugula and Orange Supremes- Shocking how good this was, the anchovy was cooked perfectly, they were incredibly tasty without being oily. It went nicely with the arugula and the freshness of the citrus. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=WXs8evyJarabbHv9XVj6fw Melanzane alla Parmigiana- breaded eggplant, mozzarella, tomato sauce, basil. This was basically an eggplant parm and the eggplant was cooked perfectly, the cheese was ok but the sauce made this dish really tasty with the nice homemade focaccia they give you in the beginning. Branzino Special with Cannelli Beans and Swiss Chard. This was the winner of the evening. The cripsy skin was amazing. The fish was cooked to perfection, the cannelli beans I thought were going to be weird but it added a nice creaminess to the fish. Lastly the swiss chard was crunchy on the ends and nice and tender on the leaf. This should be put on the regular menu. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=xNVfJCmf89OOY-1ME3FY7Q Controfiletto- grilled prime angus N.Y. strip steak served with roasted marble potatoes. I hate to say it but as good as the steak was, the roasted potatoes was the star of show. The potatoes were amazing. Pappardelle alla Bolognese- housemade ribbon pasta, meat sauce. This was good but came off a bit plain. The pasta was homemade but it was almost to a fault since the pasta came out too soft. The flavors were good but I felt this would have been a better, reheated the next day kind of dish.

The truffle fries also landed well -- crisp, and the truffle came through without being overpowering. The lasagna was the weak point. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't memorable either -- nothing about it stood out enough to recommend. Dessert was the high note. The "Baby Jesus" is genuinely decadent -- rich and indulgent, the kind of thing worth saving room for. One letdown: no mocktails on the menu. The only non-alcoholic options are two non-alcoholic beers -- no fruit juices or anything else. Worth flagging if you're coming with kids, since the choices are thin.

This will definitely be our go-to spot the next time we're traveling back from the airport.

Upon asking for a regular menu I was told it's this prix fixe menu only and no substitutions or regular menu available. There was no mention upon booking this place, it had a prix fixe menu ONLY otherwise we would have not went. The menu consisted of 1 appetizer, 1 main course and 1 dessert for $75 per person. The food was good and the service was good as well our server was very nice. What bothers me is no mention when making the reservation it's just the pre fixe menu and upon actually doing the math and adding all of the items we got for 2 people going off their regular menu prices we actually ended up paying about $30 more which is usually not the case in other restaurants this should have been much cheaper. Also some of the dishes on the prix fixe menu had an additional $12.50 charge because of the type of the ingredients used, if you're going to charge extra just make a smaller portion or use other type of meat. Definitely not happy how they prepared this whole menu thing and will not be coming back here most likely. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because the staff was very nice and the food was good.

It's a solid 3.5 stars so I averaged upward. The misses: I ordered what I believe was the most expensive item (chicken parm) and received the less than stellar experience (see picture) of a meal. As Rodney used to say: "it was fit for a king, here's King, here King." The chicken was precooked fully and then reheated after the sauce and mozzarella was placed above it. This is a twofold quick fire method of serving guests quickly and having those guests not return. To be clear the taste was superb but the texture was not. Think microwaved chicken but unlike microwaved chicken, my order came out somewhere between lukewarm and WTF?!? We ordered the Ill described beet salad with goat cheese that oughta have been named arugula salad with beets and goat cheese if there was dressing, I don't taste it. So I asked for some olive oil and S&P. I can conclusively assert that she brought salt and pepper. The jury is still out whether I received olive oil. The meatballs we ordered would make mamma cry, but not from happiness. They were overly salted and dense like some Balkan kabob kinda thing like spicy soujuks. Our waiter and waitress combo were very nice and equally aloof. The pleasant accent revealed that hospitality was not their first language. And now for the hit, and almost great: we ordered the truffle oil fungi pizza. Taste, and texture were excellent but it needed a wee more time for the cheese to fuse with the rest of the ingredients. I forgot to ask them to add olive oil atop of the mozz prior to placing the pizza in the over. Despite this detail the pizza still was the best item we ordered. Overall their cuisine was a valiant effort. I'll most certainly return (but after I diet try every other restaurant in Astoria that I haven't tried before and try again those that I have.
