    Been three times. Appetizer sample really tasty, service decent, drinks creative. They cram in too many tables but who cares? I'd totally go back!

    I had my small group baby shower in the Fireplace room. Food was amazing, and the Enzo who managed serving helping hosting my shower was a great help and very kind. My guests all enjoyed the great dishes and ambience of the restaurant. My bill was ended up higher than expected, but it was definitely worth spending for good food, service and ambience of the restaurant.

    RATING: 7.8/10 PRO TIP: Was able to seat us on a Friday at 7pm right away, though it got crowded quick. If you choose the pasta, get the cavatelli, trust me. You probs haven't heard of this place but you'll be pleasantly surprised. The bread that they give you is fresh, coated with sesame seeds and comes with a delicious spread we couldn't get more of. Surprised to say the least. CAVATELLI Of the pasta options available, I elected for this one while my friend got the pappardelle and we both agreed this one was better. It was PERFECTLY al dente and had this nice bouncy chewiness to it, with the savory meatiness of the lamb and a little smokiness as well. It was a really good dish and I was pleasantly surprised. They have a pretty large drink menu too and you'll be able to find something you like. For me, I like sweet drinks/cocktails so I feel like I was really happy with my choices. The ambience is busy, a little elevated, but the dining room is def packed; you are just inches away from other tables. Nice space otherwise. Service was attentive. FINAL CATEGORY: GREAT (terrible / bad / ok / good / GREAT / excellent)

    I am so glad my friend told me about this restaurant!  There were 4 of us on a Friday night for dinner, I believe only one person in our party had been there before.  Apparently they have new menu items since the last time she was there.  It was full for dinner in the main room by the time we left, plus the back room was full with at least one very large group. There's an upstairs area that can be used for private events but we didn't have a chance to take a look.  There are also a couple of small tables outside. Convenient location, lovely space, delicious creative house cocktails (with cool names!), delicious and beautifully presented food (and good portions!). The staff was attentive and friendly and helpful.  They have an extensive wine list and were able to answer questions/make suggestions to those of us having wine. If I were to label the cuisine, I would say "upscale Mediterranean." According to Amali's website the menu reflects the historical cuisines shared by modern day Greece, Italy, France, and Spain.  Note their service model (which is mentioned in the beginning of their menu) - they include an 18% hospitality surcharge in order to pay their staff above-market wages for service workers. To drink I had the "October in Astoria" because I was in a bourbon mood.  It was really great! My friend prefers gin and had the "Easy Virtue". The 4 of us shared everything - started with the autumn squash hummus and roasted sunchokes. For mains  - we were told when we first sat down that there were only two ducks left so we reserved one. It is on the menu as "entrees for two" but it would easily be enough for 4 people if you also share an appetizer or two. The spice roasted duck was PHENOMENAL and unlike any preparation of duck any of us had eaten before.  It includes spiced duck plus duck kofta (made from the duck leg?), plus homemade pancakes and veggies and jalapeno yogurt sauce on the side.  As a main it comes with two sides - we chose the fingerling potatoes (prepared crispy and way better than we expected!) and the brussels sprouts. - apparently some of the fresh pastas on the menu are new.  We decided to go with the short rib cappelletti - it melts in the mouth OMG. After that much food (the duck was a large portion!) we unfortunately did not have room for dessert.
