Such a cute italian restaurant in Astoria, they have the most aesthetic design inside with lots of greens. Best sangria and sourdough bread! (I might have eaten too many bread and guilty as changed, they go so good with the pasta sauce). Their pasta is also super flavorful and well presented. We ordered Fettucine porcini e tartufo and bucatini all amatriciana with antipasti of carpaccio di filetto, all 3 were amazing. Remember you can request for shredded cheese, definitely made a huge difference for me. They recently started having this lunch special deal Mon-Fri 12-4pm 20% off, so that's definitely a big plus. Service is always good. Highly recommend!

Amazing! Cacio e pepe was one of the best I've had! It was creamy, cheesy, delicious. The service was excellent & were really sweet.

Met some friends here and had an enjoyable evening. We were seated about five minutes after our reservation time which was good. Place was loud, so hard to hear each other and two of our seats were a bench without a back. The food was very good and the presentation was nicely done. Portions were in the smaller side. Staff was helpful although English wasn't a strong point. People kept coming for take out all during our time there. Looked like they were having pizza. We had entrees. Mine was ribbon pasta with lamb and it was very good. Nutella calzone for dessert was huge and delicious

The owners of this place are doing a great job of offering relatively authentic Italian cuisine, in an environment that manages to be both fun and intimate. Hard working wait staff is primarily Italian which can be rare, we found they added to the authenticity of the experience. The fritto misto was exactly as light and non-oily as we were hoping for, pizza was delicious, the freshness and quality of the ingredients was evident. We didn't have a pasta dish but the plates passing by looked delicious and the looks on the faces of the diners was enough for us to keep it in mind for a future visit. Reservations are a good idea on weekend nights. 4 stars + Recommend!!

Went on 1/1 - they were open! I'm so happy we finally made it here because I've passed by so many times and it's been on my list of places to try. We ordered the aranchini rice balls for a starter, then the tonnarelli cacio e Pepe and the soleluna as entrees. The rice balls were absolutely amazing, highly recommend! Perfect temperature too, as I've had rice balls that burnt the roof of my mouth. Excellent texture and flavor in each bite with the mayonnaise sauce. The tonnarelli pasta dish comes with a cheese wheel on a cart with a man that spins the pasta around and serves you the pasta fresh drenched in the cheese. Very intriguing experience but the pasta itself was too rich and heavy for my taste. Very thick and would not be good alone without other dishes to break up the taste. The soleluna is a half calzone and pizza combination, highly recommend ordering this! Excellent flavor with a balance of the red pizza and the white cheese of the calzone. Overall definitely coming back! Love the lights and live plants hanging on the pergola-like ceiling. The service was very prompt as well. Great experience!

Great Italian restaurant in Astoria. The star of the seating is right at the kitchen bar where you are blessed w a real show watching the magic happen w the food being prepared. The chefs put on a true performance decorating , manipulating and plating all the great food. No changes to menu take note so no substitutions. Great selections of beer and wine. I had the menebra lager and my girl the peroni on tap. Pizzas are amazing and a must try. We had the veggie and it'll fill you up and has broccoli rabe on it which is a change of pace. Also had the bow tie pasta special w a nice light cheese similar to goat cheese. As appetizer had a baked cheese caponata. Service was a little pushy bc they want to turn tables so kept coming back every minute saying are you ready are you ready and wanted all food ordered at same time.

Stopped in for a quick bite after work, and upon walking in, the smell of deliciousness took over immediately. Had the buffalo mozzarella pizza and it was absolutely delicious - nice sauce, great cheese to sauce ratio, and spectacular crust. Dip the crust in olive oil for the ultimate treat and you can't do much better than that!

What to say? This place is amazing. I have been here several times but am only finally getting around to leaving a review. We had reservations on Mother's Day. (Pro-tip - Always reserve on any holiday and weekend as they get packed). We were shown to our table a few minutes after our reserved time. They definitely keep tables moving without ever feeling rushed and I appreciate that. I love the look and style of the restaurant, well. The floor plan and open kitchen make for a nice and airy dining experience. I already knew what I'd be ordering as I fell in LOVE with it the last time I dined in. My husband and daughter had never been so they played it safe with a Pizza/Pizza Sandwich. We started with the arancini and burrata for apps. The burrata was so creamy and paired nicely with delicious basil oil and tomatoes. Mouth watering! The arancini, which I had previously was also very good. It comes with mushroom, which I do NOT like but these were THAT good. Didn't taste the mushroom at all, thankfully! I had the Pappardelle Al Ragout D'Agnello. The Pappardelle was cooked to perfection allowing for the greatest bite. I don't eat lamb often (maybe 2-3 times a year?) and this ragout is such a delicious, hearty feel good stew like sauce. Highly recommend. A well rounded bite every single time! Sotto La Luna does Pizza perfectly so you really can't go wrong with simple Margherita style. My daughter ate this one and opted against having cheese. Basil, Sauce, Olive oil and a tasty crust was all she needed. Large portion she wasn't able to even get down half (which made for yummy leftovers). My husband had the Salsiccia Pizza Sandwich (Broccoli rabe, Italian sausages, smoked mozzarella). I didn't try it because I don't eat pork but he loved it and again the portion was so large he only ate half and it reheated very well the next day. We drank wonderful Red Sangria throughout our dining experience and saved just enough room for dessert! While we were quite stuffed from our meals, my daughter had a cannoli, which she loved. Portioned just right considering she didn't get through half of her entree and my husband and I shared the Strawberry Nutella Panna Cotta, which happened to be the dessert special. Sized just right to satisfy our sweet tooth. Always a great dine-in experience, along with fabulous drinks and comforting food for the soul. Highly recommend. Just reserve that table!

This special dish is EVERYTHING! CALAMARATA CON VONGOLE E PESTO DI PISTACCHIO AL LIME ($27.50) Calamari ring shape pasta with clams and pistachio/lime pesto. From the texture of the pasta to the beautiful edible spring flowers to the unique nutty, toasty, roasty pesto, wow. Memorable dish. I wanted more. I hope this takes its place on the permanent menu. I'll be back!
