Alex GarciaFebruary 1, 2014Wow... Can't believe we haven't been here before. This may have been the best omelette I've ever had. The truffle fries were perfect too. Elderflower champagne spritzer...very nice! Light jazz...
Angela OrNovember 11, 2014Great place for brunch and I would go again. I have been there twice so far. Likes: drip coffee, omelettes, bread basket with olive spread. Dislikes: steak and eggs.
Journo GirlApril 26, 2014The service is good at weekend brunch. Sit outside in spring & summer. Get the passion fruit mojito but ask for extra seltzer or a non sweet rum or else it will be too sweet.
Natalie TimoteoJune 16, 2012Adorable location. Really enjoy eating here in the spring and summer when you can eat outside. The olive spread they give you while you wait is delicious.
Billy KeenlyJuly 30, 2015Astoria outdoor brunch staple, with solid food and drinks. I prefer their dinner menu though, particularly the black linguini.
Try the bruschetta and make sure to sample the olive spread with the bread. Brunch is good but skip the the Bloody Mary.
DR GMarch 1, 2015Great service and solid brunch. Omlettes are awesome. Egg in the hole good. A neighborhood staple.
thewandering1January 29, 2010I LOVE this place, but their brunch isn't very brunchy. Every other meal or just a drink, it's one of the best atmospheres and some of the best food in Astoria, but there are much more robust brunches
Michael CJuly 12, 2012The specials are always amazing. And they have quite possibly the friendliest wait staff I've encountered in quite a while. Love this place.
Lala LopezSeptember 13, 2011Cozy little brunch place with mediocre service, condiments served in mouthwash cups but a stellar, I mean stellar ricotta and sundried tomato omelete. Oh yeah & try the French toast!
Gabriel ChungApril 13, 2016A nicely decorated corner restaurant but the food is average compared to other italian places in the area. Their seafood black linguini pasta dish is the best thing here. Don't get the meatballs.
Carlos RussoSeptember 5, 2014Pretty good menu, and decent options. The food is alright, but the service is excellent. Some mishaps during our dining experience, but waitress and manager were on top of it and made things right.
Matt SmithApril 21, 2012Amazing, amazing brunch. Get the omelet with smoked salmon and tomatoes. Great olive spread as well.
Andy SwindlerApril 28, 20124-cheese burger w/truffle oil is out of this world. Outdoor seating is nice. Service is great.
Laura BedrossianSeptember 8, 2013They have a caramel biscotti martini. That's all you need to know and order. You're welcome.
Josh MorphewOctober 24, 2010Charming atmosphere and always good service. Love the olive tapenade. Solid burgers and flavorful pastas. Dinner specials are generally good.
Conor ClancyMarch 8, 2011Terrific food here. I got the Linguine with Mozzarella, Tomatoes & Basil and it was fantastic. Love the olive tapenade as well.- Amanda KellyFebruary 20, 2015Great brunch! Check out the restaurant before you go, using their virtual tour. Read more
Lisayz CJuly 31, 2011If you like seafood the black linguinie is delicious. Antipasti has a good variety. All serve in Generous portions
Sandra BaezApril 13, 2010Whatever you do don't get the cheesecake w blueberries for dessert. Very spongy and not cheesecake-y at all. Love all of their pasta. Oh and try the chicken francese!
Ask for Simo, the bartender. Extremely accommodating and a welcome conversationalist.
Jessica ParkAugust 18, 2011Linguine w seafood in tomato sauce was delicious. And affordable wine list is always a plus.
JenKuduApril 26, 2011Caramel martini is delicious and passionfruit mojito is super good. Skip the croque Monsieur though... Sub par
Dana PadillaAugust 15, 2011Good food, great place for something different. Nice waitstaff, tad slow. Will be going back.
I love coming here for brunch. Their coffee is one of the best too. I love the bruschetta
Glenn GentzkeMarch 26, 2012Penne alla vodka is quite good. I prefer sitting in the back lounge area.
Kimberly RogersMarch 26, 2011The black olive bread spread is delicious! Have it with some freshly squeezed orange juice!!
Nathan VerniSeptember 23, 2009Go to Brick Cafe and get the burger with mushrooms and cheddar. If the blueberry bread pudding is one of the dessert specials, get it.- Try the Crabcakes - #astoria #foodporn lovely dinner with my honey
