This place is highly rated for a reason! Came on a Tuesday evening and was seated right away. We had the burrata, a salad, a pizza, and a pasta and we were all very satisfied. Prices are very fair for the meal portion. Service was friendly. My only complaint was I called earlier to ask if the place had gluten free options for my friend and he said they could make the options gluten free no problem. When we arrived that was not the case. There is only one pasta that is gluten, none of the pizzas are which was really disappointing because we were looking forward to the pizzas. Nonetheless what we had was delicious and I would come back here again
Food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. Service was quick as well.
We had the meatball pizza and the seafood pasta. Both were very good, so much so that an hour later after the meal I still can't stop thinking about it.The highlight of the meal was the pizza dough and crust.
Loved this place. Came here by accident and will definitely be returning. Ambience and attentiveness by the staff 10/10. My favorite was the angel and devil pizza.
This inviting eatery situated on a bustling Queens Boulevard will make you feel like a regular the first time that you visit. The easy, laid back and yet attentive staff will seat you as quickly as possible and the charm of the interior will feel immediately comfortable. The wine list is compact but well chosen and does not disappoint. The brick oven pizza station is quickly paced, very clean, quite appetizing, and surprisingly organized despite the volume of delicious looking pizzas being assembled! I have two improvements to suggest: The low ceilings and narrow shape of the indoor dining area (they have a backroom indoor/outdoor seating area as well!!) are prone to a build up of noise from even reasonable levels of talking when the restaurant is full (which I'm sure it often is!) and I think that the space could use some artful sound diffusion/absorption, possibly on the ceiling, to cut down on the build up and make talking/hearing one another less difficult. The second is more important and has to do with our experience of the food. The menu is promising and the choices are very appetizing, however, the use of salt in the delicious mashed potatoes, vegetables & eggplant parmigiana that we ordered was, in my opinion, far to liberal, while in the case of the perfectly cooked boneless ribeye, was under seasoned with barely a trace, if at all, of salt & pepper. Being that there was no salt and pepper placed at the bar when we were served, I assume that all seasoning has been accounted for and intentional. I want to give this restaurant five stars because it really does have this potential, however, I went with three because the food we ordered was not well seasoned, and this is a problem. I have traveled throughout Italy plenty of times and have experienced the wonderful and unmatched cuisine that the various regions have to offer, and I would love to see Sotto Le Stelle make this true in their little gem of a restaurant in Sunnyside, Queens. I WILL go back for the pizza, and I won't mind the bustle of the noise, but I would be cautious to order off of the rest of the menu until I was sure that this crucial element was corrected.
They have ample seating in the back with a patio area and lots of light. The burrata and the Marinara pizza was excellent. Great spot to catch up with a friend of have a casual dinner.
I loved how the food came faster than most restaurants. And I loved how the waiters were all so friendly. I loved the pizza and the Nutella calzone, also all of the food made my day better. I think that this restaurant is really good, because all of the stuff coming together really makes a great experience- Axel (8 years old)
I am a lover of pizza, especially if it is authentic Italian, the first time I tried the pizza here I had moved to the next building a few days ago and when I saw the reviews I did not hesitate twice, but I wanted to sit down and try it recently It came out of the oven and it did not disappoint at all, its score is more than deserved, its pizza is extraordinary, I would eat it every day if I could.
A Neapolitan gem in Sunnyside! The staff is pleasant, efficient and gracious. Nothing beats homemade pasta at Sotto Le Stelle and the wood-fired pizza was excellent.
