Stephanie P.: "Ridiculously romantic lighting, candles and fun indie rock music - a great place for a date! $9 glasses of wine, $32 for bottles - reasonably priced apps & cheese platters and a great Sunday brunch!"
Emily Giglierano: "Great place to hang on a snowy Saturday afternoon: plenty of space, and plenty of beers to try--get a 5 oz pour to sample a wider cairety"
Alfred M.: "what's good here? everything. kind of love cracking beers from the fridge and sitting at the bar. ($2 corking fee). free corn nuts. great food. good music taste."
Ben K.: "The sandwich of your dreams. Get the Bomb (all the meats, all the cheeses) or Italian Combo. Perfectly layered, delicious bread, and as big as your forearm. And they're under $10!"
Kino: "Il Bambino makes delicious paninis. I like the Italian Meatloaf Panini, with its tender meat, tomato pesto, & spicy. Beer & wine available. Soups not available in the summer. There's a Backyard Patio."
Marius Watz: "A hidden gem. Great architecture (open air spaces, peaceful sculpture garden) and beautiful pieces thoughtfully laid out, showcasing Noguchi as a subtle master of material and texture."
David Torchiano: "Great family run Italian specialty store. They make great honestly dishes or come to pick up fresh cut to order meats. The homemade soprasotta is with every penny and then some...try the spicy one!"
Kevin Stapp: "Everything is great! Homemade mozzarella is to die for"
Tony Xerri: "Closest thing to a real European butcher you'll ever get. They have THE BEST hot dogs, liverwurst and blood sausage on the planet. More varieties of bacon than the fingers on your hand."
Serious Eats: "Your source for any and all Balkan cured meats, all done in-house. Bacon, sausages, and mortadella all excellent. Don't miss the freshly fried pork rinds."
Kino: "The Squid Ink Pasta here is one of the most delicious dishes I have had in Astoria. The $30 Happy Hour (Mon-Fri 5-8pm) Meat & Cheese Plate with a bottle of red or white wine from the tap is a steal."
Chris Blasting: "Staff is SO friendly and the food is so fresh and delicious. The wines on tap are good and they will let you sample any of them. Also the hype behind the sweet baby Jesus cake is 100% accurate"
