Anassa Taverna Astoria is a gem in the neighborhood, offering delicious food, excellent service, and a cozy atmosphere. The menu features flavorful dishes like shrimp saganaki, exceptional octopus, and delicious lamb chops, as well as Greek sausage, manouri wrapped in phyllo, and swordfish and mignon kebabs. The staff, including attentive waiters like Antonis, creates a warm environment that makes diners feel like family.
The restaurant delivers a polished yet soulful Greek dining experience that feels both upscale and inviting. Visitors are immediately struck by the warm lighting, marble accents, and the hum of a lively crowd. The open kitchen and attentive staff set the tone for a memorable meal.
Highlights include the tender grilled octopus with a perfect char, complemented by capers and onions, and the juicy and flavorful lamb chops served with roasted lemon potatoes. Fresh seafood is a major focus, with many praising the fresh whole grilled fish and dishes like Branzino and Chilean Sea Bass, all cooked to perfection. The lobster spaghetti features a rich tomato sauce infused with ouzo and herbs.
The restaurant can get noisy during peak hours, so diners may consider an earlier visit for a quieter experience. A delightful end to the meal is the complimentary revani cake, a semolina dessert soaked in honey syrup. Anassa Taverna Astoria is truly an absolute must for anyone looking for outstanding food and service in Astoria.
