It was my birthday and nature wanted to remind me of how easily and randomly I could die! The temperature hovered below 30 degrees, while the wind blew from the north as fiercely as rockets sent to end a village and a war! Yet my wife and I took to the threatening streets with the only goal that could keep us alive...a delicious lunch meal at Uncle Peter's. Boy, they did not disappoint. The bread they bake and give customers provided a quick and satisfying intro for the wonders to come. We leaped into the Calamari and grilled Octopus appetizers. Wow! I quickly overcame my reluctance to eat creatures with such prolific intelligence. Their delicious taste shaped by Uncle made my moral lapse more than worth while. We complemented this early culinary success with eggplant parmigiana and black Linguini Fruitti Di Mare! We left with big smiles and pity for Nature's futile and failed efforts to spoil my birthday. Thank you Uncle Peter! read more

Great food, great service, great ambiance. Highly Recommended!!.. This place is a real gem.

I love this restaurant! Every visit to Queens has me wanting to go back! We were there right before Thanksgiving and had an amazing family dinner. Appetizers of pulpo (grilled Octopus), shrimps & grits, grilled scallops . For dinner I had the Chilean sea bass that was done with linguine. Several Carafes of sangria was amazing as well. Everything was excellent and my family enjoyed several other amazing dishes! This is not my first visit to this little gem of a restaurant and definitely won't be the last either! My tip Ask for the specials Menu and if there is something you don't see ask if they can make it! Cheers and bon Appetite! read more

I really enjoyed it. Good service, good Italian basics in a nice atmosphere. Recommended.

My mother and I decided to take on another location on Northern Blvd. Swayed by the good reviews and ample carbs, we went on a Friday evening without a reservation. Food: (4/5) As you can see from the pictures we ordered a good amount of food all under $200 after tip and a whiskey sour. My favorite dishes were the black pasta and the garlic bread with mussels The pasta was really nice, not too salty, filled with seafood, and not overly creamy. The mussels were fresh and the two pieces of garlic bread were delectable. The main disappointment was the house special stuffed branzino filet. It was filled with crab meat and covered in buttery sauce with capers. It wasn't bad, it just didn't move the needle compare to the black pasta. My mom ended up eating half of my pasta due to her disappointment in the special. Service: (5/5) I felt the service was nice and attentive. They were quick to respond to our requests and made the evening run smoothly. My only disappointment is that they recommend the special we didn't like. All in all, I am definitely going back. This is a great place to bring older people like my grandparents. The staff speaks Spanish and English so no one feels left out. As a lactose intolerant person, I ate aleast 4 lactose pills during my dinner. Everything has dairy. read more

There are so many restaurants on Northern BLV and it's hard to determine which will be the true gems. On a blvd of truly great diverse cuisine, Uncle Peters offers fine dining food quality, Bistro ambiance with a casual warmness that makes the menu and setting feel like you are with family. Every dish was as tasty as the last. Bring your family for dinner, impress someone on a date. This Mediterranean menu was filling, and truly delicious. For 3 people we shared 3 apps, 2 entrees and 1 side. We brought food home. read more

I stayed at the Marriott La Guardia Sept 22 and just paged thru reviews looking for italian fare and close restaurants and the desk also recommended this local gem. It's small, cozy and warm. I sat at the bar right next to the window. Enjoyed some wine and some delicious chicken francese with home made focasia bread still warm. Great food...great service. I lucked into a little treasure in Jackson Heights ! read more

Definitely a great place to go to in queens if you're craving Italian food. I would say all of the appetizers on the menu are solid. Gnocchi Al pesto was delicious, first time trying gnocchi. The baby lamb chops were also very good. For dessert, I would recommend the crime brûlée. read more

Amazing service and great food! Highly recommend. The ambience was great. Chicken Francais exceptional.

Service here was amazinggg, best I've had in awhile! Nice, romantic interior vibes. Food was really good as well. Would recommend!

Uncle Peter's is a solid neighborhood restaurant for our family and friends. The ambience is intimate, the service is always amazing, and the best part, the food, A+! Must tries: The burrata appetizer (I know I know but theirs is our family's favorite and we order this as an app anywhere they have it on the menu, and it's just the best here; the quality prosciutto that comes with it, the tomatoes, the roasted pickled peppers, just do it), crab meat tower appetizer, mussels in white wine sauce (I can eat this everyday), crab cakes, and any of their pasta dishes will not disappoint. Lastly, we went today for lunch rather than dinner because the burrata was calling my name, and we had their salmon sandwich and steak sandwich (choice of salad or fries w/ each). The salmon and steak were cooked perfectly.... So yes, even for lunch - go, and get their sandwiches - they'll absolutely make your list of most delicious sandwiches you've ever had. read more

It's an intimate setting with cute decor. The servers and hosts were exceptional with constant check ins and filling up water. We ordered the seafood tower and clams to start. Delicious! They also bring bread to the table which was a plus! I ordered the sirloin steak which I felt was missing flavor. Wasn't my favorite. My sister ordered skirt steak and she also felt hers was missing flavor. We had the passionfruit and coconut dessert which was so good! For drinks we had a mango sangria and a red sangria. My sangria was great. read more

I've eaten here multiple times with various friends and family members and the food and experience are always worth the visit. I was there for dinner last week and the service could've been better. They seem to have new staff for the holidays. We ordered a round of Lychee Martinis and they were not good. We asked for Sergio who's our favorite server and were told that he's on vacation. He's very attentive and makes the BEST drinks! We always trust him to recommend the best dishes and daily specials. We hope to see him the next time we're back. read more

I treated a friend to dinner here last week and we absolutely loved it. We had the Meatballs with Ricotta to start. They were so light and fluffy! I could have made a meal out of just that. I ordered one of the specials; Shrimp and Arugula on Pappardelle Pasta with Truffle sauce. The pasta was cooked perfectly. The truffle sauce was very light and so flavorful. And the shrimp were so fresh and tender! My friend ordered the Chicken Francese; also delicious and exquisitely prepared. My Pinot Grigio was nicely chilled and a perfect compliment to my meal. Best of all was our sweet waiter. He was so helpful with his recommendations and very attentive. And then there was the sweetest woman sitting next to us who told us she eats there three times a week. She raved about the salmon. I can't wait to share this find with more friends and family! read more

The food is very good. The service staff, including the bartender, is friendly and tries to be engaging with patrons. The ambiance is great for family dinners, intimate gatherings, date nights. It's a very chill and calm environment with dim lighting and candle lights on the table. I would advise that you come before 8 pm especially if you have a crowd of 5 persons or more, even with reservations. I've been here three or more times, and it's the same with 5 or more pereon around 8 pm, the staff tries to be very accommodating. Still, if you are not sure what you want or others are new to the restaurant and take time to review the menu, it is better to come at least by 7:30 pm. Otherwise, you will feel rushed to get your orders in before the kitchen closes which is well before the restaurant closes. That aside, it is a nice restaurant with good food and a pretty chill environment that is great for intimate birthday celebrations, date nights, close friends and or coworker after work, or even for a solo date. read more

A couple of days ago I was craving risotto and I decided to google the best restaurants that sell risotto in New York. I'm extremely happy I chose Uncle Pete's. The service here is outstanding. Five stars the servers are very friendly. They speak Spanish and English so we felt welcome as my fam and I speak both. They always checked that our table was comfortable and our food was on time. Very nice service and friendly staff. The restaurant is very nice looking. Simple but elegant. The food was very good. Five stars also. To start we order the fried calamari and the grilled octopus. The calamari was good. The grilled octopus was sooooooooo delicious that we had to order another one. The grilled mangoes and the salsa made it perfect. I had the risotto which met my expectations. It was creamy and hot. It had so much meat and seafood that I had to take some out. I enjoyed my plate. My brother, who is a very picky eater, ordered the skirt steak. It was delicious and he finished it all. My sister in law ordered the sirloin steak with mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes weren't as flavorful as the ones we are used to eat BUT the chimichurri complemented it very well. The steak was perfect and juicy. Of course got dessert. We ordered the coconut flan and the home made bread pudding. Even though they were different from what we are used to eat, they were tasty. A little sugary but edible. The coconut flakes gave the flan a special touch. The dulce de leche ice cream and the caramelized bananas gave the bread pudding a special touch as well. We made a reservation and I'm glad we did. As the night approaches, the restaurant gets busy. I can't to come back and try some of the other dishes. We left very happy with the food we had and the service we received. read more

Uncle Peters have a variety of pasta. The pasta was fresh and has a great texture to it. The pasta wasn't too salty but just right in seasoning. Some restaurants are a little too heavy on the salt, but this is just right. Price is average, but I would prefer eating in vs take out, because once the pasta gets cold, it gets a little hard and sticks together. I would suggest eating in doors with it being served steamy and hot. The portion serves 1-2 people. I had ordered 3 pasta, 1 mussels, 1 rice, 1 calamari and 1 salad, that fed a party of 6. The bill came out to be $160. Not bad. Would have it again. read more

Well we were not happy this restaurant does not care about customer at all . Go some place else don't waste your time . My fiancé is on diet and wanted to order Fish and she did not want mash potatoes . We ask nicely to either have broccoli or spinach as the side they did not want to change ! We then asked for the manager who happens to be the owners son and he did not care and was very UNACCOMMODATING to take care of the paying customer . Every restaurant we have gone into never ever gives a hard time ! Would not recommend going here ! Try Peter Lugars Steak house in Great neck or Brookkyn instead read more
