“Fantastic food, twist on classic Americana. Great drinks and service”
“Finally made it to Salvo’s and it did not disappoint. Serving some truly delicious sandwiches- we shared the mortadella with burrata/pistachio pesto and the eggplant parm. Hands down the best eggplant parm I’ve ever had. Such a beautifully curated space, feels special but not pretentious. You could tell everything was made with the freshest/high quality ingredients and the utmost care. Can’t wait to go back!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“This Italian gem delivers on all fronts. Located in a stunning brick greenhouse-y kind of space, the atmosphere is pretty magical. The food is wonderful, the cocktails divine, and the staff are all the best. A must-visit for ambiance and delicious food and drinks!”
“I love the wait staff and the owner was extremely attentive to the patrons. I will definitely be back”
Restaurants with Delivery
“I placed an order late Saturday night and waited an hour but Door Dash canceled the order and my sweets never arrived. I tried again Sunday morning and I was delighted to receive what I ordered in addition to some extra treats for the trouble from the previous night. So very much appreciated. Everything was absolutely delicious. Thank you so much.”
“This place is incredible the pizza is so good and the garlic knots are also good. This place is clean and delicious. Also they have this good deal that when you buy 2 slices of pizza you get water or a canned drink. You won’t be disappointed! The pizza is kind of cheap but it is the best pizza in nyc!I love this place!”
“Food is really good and servers are super kind! Price is also very affordable and great portions.
One note I would say is that the dine-in experience felt a bit empty, quiet and too bright, but the restaurant has already a really cute decor and set up. I suggest they just turn off the ceiling fluorescent lights, leaving on just the warm table lamps and add a bit of background music to make the atmosphere warmer and more appealing. This restaurant deserves to be full :)”

“Had a lovely meal tonight. The three of us shared the Kee Mao with chicken, the Crispy Three Flavors Duck, and the Hat Yai Fried Chicken. The duck and the Kee Mao were the standouts for us. The staff were really friendly, and we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Will happily return to try more dishes!”
“I’m a regular here and live on the block! The prices are unbeatable, despite having to go up the last couple years. The food is always perfect, the service is always friendly, and I love how many options there are! Leaving a review mostly so that the owner can see how much we want maduros as a pupusa filling option. I tried to a few months ago, but was told that it’s a popular request, but the owner won’t allow it even though maduros are already a menu item. So anyway, Owner, please please please please please just let us have maduro pupusas!”
“I realized I’ve never left a review despite ordering from here for YEARS. E-chiban has some of the best sushi in town for quality and price. It’s one of the few places I get delivery from and the quality and portion size is always great. Their prices have gone up, but I do feel with how much they give you it’s worth it (especially the salmon sashimi dinner)! Their delivery driver (Mok?) is always so kind, remembers my name and order, and is great at his job. It’s nice being a regular here. I’ve tried other places nearby and they don’t come close imo.”
“This place is cozy and the food is very authentic, it truly feels like you’re going to someone’s home and they’re cooking for you. Everything was full of flavor, and the tacos were great.
There are lots of options on the menu, plus happy hour until 7 PM, which is a nice bonus. Our server was friendly and attentive, making the experience even better.
The restaurant also has TVs if you want to watch a game, and they host events at night, which adds to the vibe. Definitely a spot worth checking out.”
“Gave this place 5 stars because I always come every so often. I’m always treated well. The food is always good. I do prefer to come late night after midnight. I love when the guys cook the food. I never had issues here. I’ve been frequent for a year now or coming up on a year.”
“Authentic NYC pizza that is always fresh and delicious! I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and the pizza has remained consistently delicious over the decades. The prices are great and what I appreciate above all else is that’s it’s really a staple of the community. A pizzeria like this with kind hearted owners provides a safe haven. Support local businesses ??
Vegetarian options: An assortment of vegetarian options.”
“I come here to eat with my husband and it never disappoint, food fresh,they bring the food to our table and Im very picky about what I eat; and I can tell you that it's so tasty and my husband is pleased with the service ,nice and quiet place to sit and eat . I sometimes order out and my food come nice and hot within 25 minutes. I recommend it.”
“Been coming here for several years and they have some of the best burritos and happy hour specials, especially on Thursdays. Service is always quick and exceptional. Drinks are splendid and strong. Amazing service, overall and always”

“Great coffee, just like in their other locations, but they really should upgrade the sizes of their cups to be more in line with the average sizes served in the area.For example, they seem to be using an extra small cup and making that the same price as somewhat larger cups are selling for in the area.”
“The nicest guy of all New York works here. I wish I had gotten his name but he was working the register. If I didn’t live in Astoria I would come buy something here all the time because of how nice he was.”
“Really solid Dunkin’ location. The line moved quickly and the staff stayed friendly and efficient even while it was busy. My iced coffee was made perfectly and the donuts were fresh. It’s a convenient stop when you need a quick pick-me-up, and the store itself looked clean and well maintained. I’d definitely stop here again.”
“Awesome place. Peaceful environment. Clean, safe, and on time for whatever you taste buds desire. Oh, they also sell great nutrition drinks. Top of the line for less than the manufacturers dime. Come visit. Especially on Fridays after 2 p.m..
Thx for making our community a better place. 😉”
“Been coming here for years. Their food is amazing, always fresh and prepared neatly. I usually go for the cheeseburger deluxe or the Summer Slim smoothie. Unbelievable stuff. The service is quick and the staff are friendly. Never been to a better deli, to be quite honest.”
“I had a great experience at La Casita Mexican Restaurant. The customer service was friendly and attentive, which really made the visit enjoyable. The space is a bit on the smaller side, so on busy weekends you can expect a wait.
Parking can be a challenge in the area due to restrictions, so plan ahead if you’re driving. That said, the food was excellent with a very authentic taste, and the drinks were well made and refreshing.
Overall, this is a solid spot in the area and absolutely worth checking out!”
“This spot is Legit, new owners are welcoming and friendly. Celebrated a Friend’s birthday and all the staff was very attentive. They even decorated the booth with a Happy birthday sign and some flowers. They have beer buckets, cocktails, and different selection of beer . We had Chicken mofongo as appetizers, just a quick bite . The nachos were complimentary for the tables/ booth. I really enjoyed the hooka “Love”, kitchen closes at 1am . Also, they have a Dj every night , will definitely come back !!”

“Love this place!
So happy it’s just around the corner from me ☺️. The bartenders are amazing, Jessica is such a sweetheart and makes the absolute best drinks. The owner is super cool and really sets the tone for the great vibes here.
The cook always puts out delicious finger foods which are perfect for snacking while drinking. I especially love when they do karaoke nights and bring in live bands, it’s always a fun time. And when DJ Sound Nice plays there, he always has the place rocking with all types of music.
This spot is a total gem—great atmosphere, great people, and always a good time!”
“A Home Run of flavor I just devoured at Lugo's Restaurant & Lounge, and I'm still reeling from the culinary hat trick. This dish is the MVP of my food here - succulent shrimp, indulgent lobster, and tender skirt steak join forces to create a flavor trifecta that will leave you screaming 'Triple Crown!'
The shrimp was so juicy, it practically swam onto my fork. The lobster? Butter-tender and begging to be devoured. And don't even get me started on the skirt steak - cooked to perfection and practically singing 'Take Me Out to the Ball Game' with every bite.
Lugo's Triple Play is a grand slam of flavors, a culinary World Series champion. If you haven't tried it yet, drop everything and get to Lugo's - your taste buds will thank you. Five stars, ten stars, a million stars - this dish is the real MVP."”

“Love this local Ecuadorian restaurant! Friendly service and GREAT food. 🇪🇨
I always get a bunch of empanadas: Beef, cheese, chicken, they’re all scrumptious and you must indulge with their green sauce that’s got a good kick to it.
Pastries? 🥐 I love their guava cheese danish or whatever it’s called. Give them a try if you’re in the area! 👍”
“Great vibes and ambiance. A very nice change from the Brooklyn dive bars. Drinks are good and bartenders are nice, friendly, and chatty.
Only negative is if you want to play pool with a group of friends you have to win the table from a couple of pool sharks who continually own the table over and over again. So bring someone who is very good at pool or you’ll only be playing the pool sharks. Kind of lame but whatever. House rules I guess.
Aside from that I enjoy this bar.”

“Cool neighborhood bar. This is a very spacious bar. They have a pool table and some games. The service is good. The prices are great. It's a laid back atmosphere. You can order food in the back. I didn't try the food so I can't rate it. Maybe next time I go I'll try it.”
“This has been both myself and wife’s go to place for a very long time for authentic and delicious Eastern European takeout!
We always order the Roasted Red Peppers with feta & Shepherd Salad to start then 10 pieces of Cevapi and their signature Pljekavica, and both are always incredible. The Cevapis are always perfectly cooked, and the Pljekavica has such a generous, flavorful burger filling.
The kids always love the Bosna Express nuggets, think more than McDonald’s which is a HUGE WOW FACTOR in itself.
PS:
Do NOT forget to order extra Pita bread and the Cucumber Salad, dalish :)
Everything tasted like it was made with care, reminiscent of a home-cooked meal. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, making it a fantastic value. Service was quick and friendly, too. If you're looking for comforting, homemade Eastern European food, this is the spot!”
“It's a small place, I personally like small restaurants, my plate was simple but very good. Had the turkey melt with bacon and avocado on multi grain bread with fries very good. The place was clean and a very nice server. My mother had a torta of steak, and it was delicious.”
“It’s truly one of my favorite places. I love how friendly the staff is, especially Cami, who helps you choose the best option when you’re undecided and encourages you to try new flavors. If you’re hesitating about coming to this place, let me tell you—it’s the best choice and you won’t regret it.”
“The cakes at this place are amazing and affordable compared to the crazy quotes you’ll receive from other bakeries in the area. What I love about them is that they will take on any challenge when it comes to cake design. They are my family’s go to and I would order this cake for any event in NYC. I’ve ordered cakes from them for parties I’ve planned in Bushwick, the Bronx and Harlem. They are the best!”
“Absolutely loved my experience at this restaurant! The food was incredibly flavorful, each dish bursting with deliciousness. The service was impressively fast, making the whole dining experience smooth and enjoyable. Plus, the vibe of the place was just perfect great ambiance that really enhanced the meal. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for an amazing dining experience! Five stars all the way!”
“The food is real authentic Dominican food. The food is hands down amazing and the staff are so attentive. They are def a crave. If you having a Dominican craving definitely check them out ?”
“Mario and his staff will help you with all your convenience store needs. Hot sandwiches, chips, beer, candy, drinks coffee, and what ever you desire can be found at Kingstar. Mario knows the neighborhood and can provide you with recommendations for other items or service as well. Fast and friendly business.”

“At first I thought my wife poisoned me.... And than it slowly dawned on me that it was probably fruity yummy from.earlier... but my God it was delicious! The whole time I was doubled over and writhing in pain all I could think about was the vanilla flavored yogurt with the m&m sprinkles. It really burns!!.... I can't wait to go back again and get myself another yogurt.... As soon as I'm able to walk.”
“Their pizza and sicilian pies are very tasty and the portions are good. I cannot stand when a delivery person who is miles away accepts my order because I live about 6 blocks and they can take an hour to deliver. I’m adding a photo of their sicilian pie which was delicious. The pepperoni pieces were added by me not them, I buy pepperoni slices and chop them up myself to save money lol. I would not recommend the lasagna, It was swimming in oil.”
“One of the finest oasis’ in all the land. I’m honestly convinced that one day universal world peace will come to humanity because of Mrytle Pub. An absolute god sent institution. I’d be nothing without this place. The happy hour has saved me from the bowels of darkness and nurtured my soul. Long live the Myrtle Pub…. LONG LIVE THE MYRTLE PUB”
“If you're near by or even at storage & looking for a store, this store is the place to go. It might be small but believe me shopping here is more worth it. From grocery, deli, snack section to hot food, Plus the workers & Owner are great. Friendly, respectful & kind. Thank goodness it's the only store around, cause you don't need another. It's #1 for your one stop shop.”
“great food excellent people I went. there may 11 it was me my wife and my daughter service was fast the food was great”
“We've passed this restaurant so many times and always said we've wanted to try. I'm so upset at myself that we didn't try it sooner. Firstly our waitress (sorry didn't get her name) was so friendly and we enjoyed small talk. Ordered fry rice and half chicken. It has to be the best we've ever had. The green sauce that comes with the food is so delicious. We will definitely be back more often and try different things on the menu.”
“Food was very good. Waitress came over with menu and ask what we like to drink. Waiter came over took our order. Fast service. Everyone who works there are very polite.”
“Food was delicious and service was very good too. I usually only go out to eat at the Colombian restaurants I am accustom to go to but today I wanted to try this Ecuadorian restaurant and I’m happy to say that I was happily impressed that the food was exactly what I was expecting. Very good!”

“I had a GREAT experience at Joe and John's Pizzeria. Katie and Kalee were kind, friendly and helpful. They provided excellent service and were fun to chat with. Each time I go to Joe and John's with friends and family I have a wonderful experience. Thank you Sal for building a good place to have great pizza.”

“Small cozy spot with a relaxed atmosphere. You order at the bar and the service is quick and friendly. No alcohol, but the focus is clearly on the food. The menu is small but thoughtfully put together, and everything feels fresh. The handroll sushi is especially great and definitely worth trying. A nice casual place to stop by when you want quality sushi without the fuss.”

“Great cafe. From the customer service, the recommendations given, information about what they’re serving, and taste and execution of the latte and matcha this place is 10/10. Lost a star for food simply because there wasn’t many pastry’s offered or available when i came in. My partner who has been in the matcha industry for quite some time said her matcha with coconut syrup was delicious. My decaf Cocado was also perfect temperature, texture and flavor. The barista was also knowledgeable of origin and flavor profile and didn’t seem bothered by me interrupting and asking. Atmosphere is perfect, quiet and thoughtful, with the perfect amount of seating and decor. Would 100% recommend and we will be returning soon!”
“The coffee was reasonably priced, made in a quick manner, and delicious. I also like how simple and unpretentious the menu is.
The space itself is incredibly stylish even though those chairs are deathly uncomfortable.
The baristas were friendly and helpful — which is amazing when many others in the city deliberately refuse to acknowledge you & hate your guts just for coming in.”
“Great vibes and ambiance. A very nice change from the Brooklyn dive bars. Drinks are good and bartenders are nice, friendly, and chatty.

“Absolutely fantastic. Everything was outstanding. Sadly, I wish I had saved room for the flourless chocolate cake. Rest assured I’m heading back on my next visit to NYC and will not leave without dessert.”
