Cielito Restaurant Astoria NYC

Better than expected! Grilled octopus was on point 🤤

Definitely not the cielito like before. Portions are smaller, recipes have changed and tastes cheaper. Ice pops were much more smaller. My friend and i were sat and waited almost 20 minutes for someone to take our order. We were excited to once visit cielito after such a long time. But unfortunately will not be going back.

Flavorful and well prepared meal! Now I know where to go to fill my next craving for ceviche. Good size pieces of seafood and lots of flavor with well seasoned chips. HH was a treat, no watered down or super sweet drinks. The staff is just truly kind. Thank you!

We were undecided where to go for dinner in Astoria since it was a birthday dinner and must I say, Cielito IS THE PLACE TO GO!

From the moment, I called to see if they accepted reservation on a Saturday and letting them know that it was for a birthday dinner, to meeting our waitress Cony, the service that Cielito provided is UNMATCHED. The food was heavenly (I can see why it’s called Cielito), the drinks were delicious, and the service we received from Cony, Salvador, the bartender (unfortunately we didn’t get his name) and even the cook Daniel was exceptional. Please don’t ever replace Daniel! lol Cielito overall was 100/10, the place is beautiful, vibey, and chill.

Everyone there was so welcoming, positive, and attentive.

This was my second time and now it will definitely be my go-to spot! They made this dinner a beautiful experience! I hope the owner reads this to they can acknowledge the exceptional service Cony, Salvador, Daniel, the bartender and everyone else at Cielito provided. Best place in Astoria!

We ran into Cielito because the hotel was nearby, and we’re so so glad it was. Rogelio was GREAT, he made a great selection of plates for us. Highlights were the birria and the octopus. Guacamole made fresh in a mortar, crunchy churros and good mezcal!

Casually elegant, low key festive, and serious fare. Atmosphere, service and food very much a part of the social side of the evening. All perfect, for us! We so enjoyed! Thank you for a lovely evening, delicious food, unhurried and friendly service and atmosphere. Viva Cielito!
