Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Astoria

We very much enjoyed our dinner at Sandro’s. The food was extremely delicious and the service was courteous and efficient. The restaurant is small and the noise level increased as the restaurant got busier, but everyone seemed happy to be there and having a convivial time. All in all, it was a treat and we look forward to returning.

Great service great food. We did the pre fix menu and everything was delicious

The menu choices were excellent and so was the taste. Ambience although a little noisy is very nice with excellent service levels. I am a reasonable regular to Pera for the above reasons and would recommend the restaurant to anyone looking for tasty Mediterranean cuisine.

Excellent prix-fixe lunch. Also great steak frites. Great service and quiet enough for easy conversation.

I was really surprised at how good this place was, being as no one I know had ever really heard of it. It is a Gem to be sure. We were able to get a table for 5 at 7pm on a Friday a week or so in advance, which made me wonder why...but everything was delicious! To start we shared burrata, octopus, cauliflower and tune tartar - all were fantastic especially the cauliflower. Mains were the tagliatelle with bolognese (best Ive had maybe?), cacio pepe (great), branzino (weakest link but still fine) and the pork chop milanese (brilliant). The budino for dessert was terrific. Service was tough to do well in the noise, but the pace was great, the service squad moving like a machine, and the guests all seemed to be having a great time. Prices were not silly. No question we will go back - and you should try it if you havent.
