Ellie Behling: When you want real Italian and a charming, romantic vibe.
Gajtana Simonovska: Classy, elegant Italian with friendly staff and European portions. My steak, potatoes and arugula brunch hit the spot. Lively, but not intrusive live music. One of the most romantic places in Astoria.
Danielle Zeitler: Cute date night spot! The service is great.

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!
Allison Abbott: The bacon wrapped dates and bacon wrapped shrimp were excellent. Great date spot!
Michael Pilch: Great date night spot; very cute interior with tables and some small booths. The food and wine were both very good. Specials (happy hour, brunch) are great deals.

Michaela T: Everything. Curry puffs, wings, basil rice... YUM.
Eater: Kitchen 79 offers Southern Thai dishes unseen in NYC. Try the kua kling, ground pork (beef or chicken) cooked in curry paste, with lemongrass & kaffir lime leaves. Read more.

Angelica Young: A good date spot and easily one of the best (if not the best) pizza places in Astoria. Had the superfly snuka (pineapple and speck make a great combo) and pomodoro (really enjoyed the no cheese)
Jennifer C.: They have a nice wine selection now, in addition to the beer. Pizza is incredible, but get the burrata and/or the meatballs to start. Yuuuumm!
The Wall Street Journal: The wood-fired pizzas come with toppings such as oyster and shiitake mushrooms, spicy soppressata, red chili flakes and honey and Brussels sprouts, egg and truffle oil. Read more.
Ami Lapinski: Great date night spot. Nice snacks. Nice vino and cocktails.
Chris Gampat: On a quiet night, this is a very ideal date spot.
Nathan: New bar in this side of LIC with lots of character, great craft beer options, and a respectable selection of cocktails. Awesome music, too.

Arielena Pozo: Gnocchi, chicken, fish, all amazing

Bridget Woznica: Dark, cozy, great date spot. Fantastic old fashioneds.
Tyler Caine: Hip new spot, great scene, solid menu... But I'm biased
Tony Xerri: Personally, it's a refinement of local favorite, Sweet Afton. Two bars means less clutter and the cocktails are still top notch. Also a plus, extra restrooms and spacious interiors. Good job guys!
