    Uncle Peter's never disappoints! The food, service, and ambience is always great. We ordered a pitcher of the passion fruit sangria. It was so refreshing and so tasty forgot to take a picture. We had a party of eight including two kids. Everyone loved their food. We ordered pasta, skirt steak, lamb chops, and kids menu item. It's convenient and local. I will always return to Uncle Peter's for any occasion.

    Really surprised I haven't heard of this restaurant which has been open for over 20+ years! We decided to have dinner here and it was the best decision ever. The service was amazing! The host and waiters were all so super sweet! We ordered appetizers, mains, desserts and mocktails. The complimentary bread and butter were so good! The mocktails were one of the best I've ever had. The food portions are massive and worth the price! The tiramisu was the best tiramisu I've had. Definitely coming back here again!

    We're in town for work and thought it would be great to go out for a nice Italian meal. This place was beyond our expectations. The food was spectacular. The service was next level. Highly recommend this place. Wish I lived closer. I would eat here all the time. It will be on my list every time I'm near here.

    I don't always explore the restaurants near my neighborhood (like the restaurants within a five block radius). It's not that I don't want to, but a lot of it feels like it caters more to certain demographics and I hesitate to go inside and feel out of place. However, me and my friend were walking past this restaurant and decided to check it out. There was hardly anyone there that day. It was pretty empty for a weekday evening. I decided to try branzino, a fish I would never attempt to make at home and would rather leave it to the chefs to handle with. I really enjoyed the fish. I felt that the oil/sauce really helped elevate the taste and prevented it from tasting dry or too fishy. I also tried the Arancini's , which are really good too! It reminded me of the ones I had in Rome. The place is very spacious, clean, and has a very date night feel. I would come back here again.

    Sirloin steak

    Went here for a birthday party. The service was great! The waitress we had was very attentive and the venue was very well lit and looked fancy! The food was was where they fell short. It was pretty pricey for Jackson Heights and was definitely not worth the price. My sister had rigatoni alla vodka with chicken for $26 and it was a pretty small portion and incredibly salty that she barely ate any of it and completely lost her appetite. I had the sirloin steak. It was very bland and not well seasoned. The mashed potatoes were good though, but for $50, expected more....either another side or at least a better cut. Sirloin is definitely not worth $50. For dinner for 9 people, the bill came out to almost $800 (we didn't order any drinks or appetizers or dessert). Too pricey and the food does not make it worth it to go back.

    I was looking for a restaurant to celebrate my daughter's college graduation. I checked Yelp and Uncle Peter's was on the list. It looked like there was something for everyone and the price was reasonable enough. They were able to accommodate adding 4 more guests to my party of 10 to my huge relief. The staff was welcoming. All of us were in agreement that the bread with olive oil was chef's kiss awesome. We ordered bruschetta and that was gone in no time too . It felt like we were eating in my auntie's home. Our meals were delicious and they were kind enough to make a dessert for my college grad. We're going to add Uncle Peter's to our must go to restaurants when we're back in New York.

The seasoning was tasty and had a decent spice kick. The more pounds you order, the more sides you get. They have a list of market prices. They don't have alcohol, which seems like a missed opportunity. We would've loved to have a drink. It is nice to have a seafood boil option in that area.

It was pretty quiet inside, outside of the TV playing somewhat loud highlights from the World Cup on loop (why,) with the servers and staff being helpful and friendly. In comparison to the other pick-your-own seafood spots like AbuQir or Hamido, the spices are a tad lighter here, being almost closer to Astoria Seafood, minus the olive oil. I didn't mind, though, as the fish was all fresh and perfectly prepared. To drink, our table stuck with water, though there are a few mocktails and some sodas, including some Algerian ones. They put down some simple bread with a bit of garlic and herbs, which was refilled. For non-seafood dishes, we had a few. The first was the $8 Hmiss, or Hammis, a dip made with roasted pepper, tomato, and garlic sautéed in olive oil. The warm dish was earthy and garlicky, and went perfectly with the bread, with the flavor reminding me of a warmer version of some Turkish eggplant dips. There was also the Peasant Salad for $12, with cucumber, tomato, red onion, and Kalamata olives topped with feta, oregano, and dill. If you're familiar at all with Horiatiki/Village salad, it's basically the same thing, though with crumbled feta instead of a block, and it was refreshing and tasty. Finally, we eventually got an $8 side order of Basil Garlic Mashed Potatoes, which were decent. The first seafood to arrive at the table was the $16.99 Algerian Sardines, which consisted of sardines from Morocco with a spice mixture. The man in front recommended them fried, and the portion was nice, and the flavor was excellent. The fish was fried perfectly, with the bones fried enough that the entirety of it could be eaten. This was delicious, and one of the highlights of the meal. As we loved these sardines, we eventually got a small order of the other option, the "Marinated Sardines" from Spain. These were a bit more expensive by weight, being $10.56 for 0.48 pounds, but by comparison, these were much flatter and larger. The half pound consisted of three large pieces, which were broken down and divided among the group. While I slightly preferred the spices from the Algerian version, I liked the texture of these more, as they were more meaty. I don't think you can go wrong with either, as both were excellent. There was also one pound of Mussels for $17.99, which was available in one of two cooking preparations, Moules Marinière or a version with tomato sauce, herbs, and feta. I went with the latter, and they were excellent, with all of the mussels being open. The feta added a unique, slightly salty touch, with the broth being delicious. They had brought us out some extra bread, and we made good use of it. If I were here alone, I might have this along with some sardines and leave very happy. We also got two whole fish, which were both ordered grilled and butterflied. First was the Dorado, or Orata, for $29.24 for 1.54 pounds. As is typical for this fish, it was delicate and light, but had plenty of flavor. The other was the American Red Snapper, which was a bit more expensive at $37.90 for 1.58 pounds. By comparison, this fish was a lot thicker and therefore, a bit more flavorful. We enjoyed both, with a slight preference going towards the cheaper fish for most outside of me and one other. Another highlight was the Scallops for $37.23 for 0.98 pounds, which came out to 14 large pieces. As recommended, we got these sautéed, with the scallops coming in a delicious garlicky juice on the bottom with plenty of other herbs. The scallops were tender while staying plump, though I slightly preferred the more caramelized tops at AbuQir, with these having a more uniform texture. The rest of the people liked what I couldn't eat, the $24.99 Octopus for around half a pound. The octopus came out pre-cut, which made splitting it very easy. I can't comment much on the flavor or saltiness as some other reviewers brought up, or else I'd be in the hospital right now post-anaphylaxis, but people liked it a lot. If you don't want to bother with the lines or crowds at the other fish spots, I would highly recommend going here. The fish is fresh, perfectly prepared, and seasoned just enough to highlight the natural flavors. I would go back.

    I only took a photo of the Algerian sardines, but I actually liked most of the other items we…read moreordered more! The sardines were fried well, but just not as mind-blowing as I thought they'd be judging from reviews. My fav were the Tiger shrimps (sautéed) and the branzino (grilled). You could really taste the char, and they were cooked perfectly. We also got butter garlic linguine with scallops and clams. My husband loved the linguine (and the free bread) the most. The scallops were nice and plump but could have been seared more. The clams were tiny and I wouldn't get them again. The guy behind the fish counter was great. The server however was pretty slow. We waited 10 mins after choosing our fish for just tap water and eventually I just got up to ask the guy behind the counter for water. I also had to go up to the server myself to ask for to-go boxes and the check. And I got up to give the check to them, because they still hadn't taken it after my trip to the bathroom. Place is spacious enough for a family dinner, feels welcoming enough.
