Trattoria Ora - Astoria

I walked in with my family yesterday for the first time I was truly impressed.. the service is absolutely impeccable, heartwarming old Italian ambiance where you just feel like you walked into a place in Italy. The food was absolutely perfectly executed in the proper technique (Kudos to my colleagues in the kitchen as I, myself, am in the industry for the last 15yrs)Will DEFINITELY Be Back For More ??‍???

We went here for the first time last Friday based on the reviews. The service and the people were very nice. For a Friday night, this place was empty. The food was not good and for some reason, they had the back door open and there were so many flies inside the restaurant which were on our food, water glasses etc. It was disgusting to eat there with all the flies. However, people were very nice! The grilled calamari was not good at all! Won’t be going here.

We went there early on a Friday, and the place was almost all for us. The service was super nice, they greet us with warm bread and some olive and cheese. We ordered Bolognese pasta, which was super creamy.Really nice atmosphere andFood: 5/5

We arrive for dinner and there were not music and only one table besides us. The waitress was on a rush and didn’t care to check how was our main course, they turn off the music and we have to put our own Italian music from our cellphone to get some ambience due the waitress was talking all the time on her cellphone so so loud that we need another sound besides her voice. The food was ok but not excellent and with the feeling that we got from the waitress we rush to try to finish our main courses and leave. We will never come back here, it was NOT a good experience at all. I don’t know how this restaurant has the evaluation of 4.8 with the kind of service that the waitress gave us. Very very disappointing for a dinner that suppose to be special.

Neighborhood Italian bistro with decent food but they have a long way to go on service. Menus were illegible since they were printed on paper and smeared.due to water marks First impression is everything, waitress was not pleasant at all, believe her name was Elena. Calamari was overdone. Ribeye steak was ordered medium rare and came out extremely well done. When I mentioned it, I was told she would mention it to chef. Also, never even offered a steak knife, had to request it!Really shocked that they did not try to make it right. This was my second visit but don't think l'll be going back unless they try harder to keep my business. At the very least, I wasn't even offered desert or coffee for the lackluster experience. Hope they'll get their act together soon.
