Amy LeggeFebruary 14, 2015The Crostinis are delicious, and the restaurant always has special versions that change often. The best one is on the menu - Ricotta, fig jam, and prosciutto (yum!)
Susan RJuly 29, 2012Drinks are awesome! Lump crab cake is great - try it! Black Linguine is right on point. Amazing. Also do the flourless chocolate cake with espresso gelato.
Edmund O'NeillJune 9, 2013Little gem in South Astoria. Amazingly proficient chef and super friendly staff make for an always-pleasant time. Three cheers!
Nice updated menu. It's worth another look if you haven't been here in a while, like we were until tonight. Delicious!!
Emmanuel (Manny) A. NikoloudakisJanuary 14, 2012Great Prix Fixe menu! Delicious selections, very friendly waitress (we had Daniella) and cozy warm comfy atmosphere. Very bistro feel :-)
Christos AlexandrouDecember 16, 2011The steak is awesome (now that I know I would either request no sauce or to be put on the side). Also the "flour less Chocolate" is nothing to write home about (not a fan of Mocha ice cream).
Try the Pumpkin Pie Martini - OMG! Astorians, if you like pumpkin pie, you must have this #thanksgiving #pie #martini #astoria
JenKuduAugust 11, 2012One of my favorite restaurants in nyc. Rigatoni is a great comfort dish! Passion martini is stronger than you think ;)
Jen Mata-McMahonOctober 7, 2012The booth in the back is great and the grilled chicken panini with ham was delicious. Also, try the mango mimosa.

"A small but very well organized museum. The building itself is worth visiting. The collection is rich and gives a great perspective about cinema history"
