    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!

    Located thirty plus blocks from Citi Field, this could be a good pre-game dining option if you budget your time correctly. We did. For drinks, we had Peroni beer. Ice cold served in a frosted glass. For starters, we shared the lobster croquets and the grilled octopus. You could taste the lobster in the croquets, and the grilled octopus was served with mango. Both were very good. For the mains, we had the chicken marsala and the chicken parmigiano. The marsala came with mashed potatoes and the parm with pasta. Both were good sized portions and tasty. My buddy actually couldn't finish his parm, so we boxed the leftovers and took it with us to the game. No room for dessert, besides we had a game to catch.

    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.

    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
    Anna Y.

    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.

    Ive lived in Astoria practically my whole life yet never been to Vite. It off 31st ave on 34th…read morestreet and for some reason ive never ventured there. While deciding where to go one day, this was suggested and im so glad I went. The restaurant is cozy with tables inside the main dining room and in an enclosed outdoor seating area. Im guessing it opens in the summer. I sat down with my niece while waiting for my sister and for a good 5-7 minutes, no one stopped by and gave a menu nor offered water. Finally after about 3 people walked by not saying anything, someone came. The area is not that big and 7 minutes isnt that long but to sit there any not be addressed by all the staff walking by was annoying. Finally my sister came and we were offered water and a menu. After hearing about the specials and asking for recommendations, we settled on the gnocchi (housemade potato gnocchi, burrata, peas, pesto sauce, toasted pine nuts), Pappardelle alla Bolognese (housemade ribbon pasta, meat sauce), and side of sautéed spinach. The food arrived and we were pleasantly delightful by the main. The gnocchi was so soft and creamy, the sauce was delicious. Im not a fan of gnocchi but this was so good. The papardelle was my meal and it was also so good. There was a lot of pasta and a good amount of meat sauce. It was also delicious. The spinach on the other hand was bland. It has no flavor and we had to add some salt. A few times we tried to call someone over to our table but felt like no one was paying attention. When we were done with our meals, my sister had a few pieces of gnocchi left. She asked for a box as it was to be my nieces lunch for tomorrow. I then said, can you also box up the spinach. A few minutes later, the server dropped off a bag with one container and said here's the spinach. We tried to call his attention but he was already walking away. Where was the gnocchi. Finally when we came back, we asked about it and he said oh I thought it was garbage. I said no we asked for it to be boxed. He said let me talk to the kitchen. He came back and said sorry, they cant do anything but one dessert will be on me. I guess thats fine but we more wanted the food for the baby. For dessert we ordered a tiramisu and pistachio gelato. The tiramisu was in a jar as opposed to a cake slice. One bite of the ice cream and I knew it was bad. It was grainy and sandy texture. I looked up why that would be and one reason stated it could be improper storage, like it was unfrozen or melted then refrozen. I wasn't chancing that. I told the server and said I couldn't eat it. He offered another dessert but I said know, then offered a limoncello shot. While I appreciate the offer, we weren't drinking before so that wasn't the best option to offer. I just said im fine without a replacement. When we got the bill, the dessert was taken off like he said he would. We paid and left. Overall the main course/pasta meals were delicious. The sides and desserts could use work. Service was alright. Id definitely come back for the food and to try some of the pizza.

Upon asking for a regular menu I was told it's this prix fixe menu only and no substitutions or regular menu available.

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.
