Vite Vinosteria

My family and I celebrated my birthday at Vite. This was our second visit. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. The food is fresh and delicious. The drinks are made with love. We enjoyed every bit. We started with the burrata. We had the mussels from the specials. We got the Conrtofiletto and Tortelloni Di Zucca. We completed our meal with the delicious flourless chocolate cake.

This has been on my list of places to try in the neighborhood and I finally got some takeout from it! Got the seafood pasta. It was good. Not crazy good but good. I did drown it in Parmesan when I got home. Next time I’ll sit down and have a meal at the venue because it had a very nice, cozy ambience.

I'm almost ashamed to admit that I have only just been here for the first time. The food, ambiance and service were all absolutely terrific - our wonderful server made spot-on references, and made it clear that she cared about our experience, and the food was fresh, superbly prepared and prompt. I dare to say that the quality of Vite even made the disaster of a first date at the table next to ours into a positive experience. This is definitely a place we will be back to.

Hands down my favorite restaurant in Astoria… actually NYC! The owners were trained in fine dining and have taken that experience and attention to quality to create a relaxed local neighborhood restaurant with phenomenal food and attentive service. This is a comfortable spot to take a date, group of friends or just yourself to sit up at the bar with the many regulars. You can’t go wrong with any of the items on their frequently changing specials board, which if your lucky include at least one of my three favorites… the Berkshire pork chop, smoked duck or porchetta dish. Frequent enough and it feels like family, even getting yelled at by Pino for trying to order a cappuccino in the evening!
