I hit up this Italian spot in Astoria and had a really great experience. I sat outside and even though they take reservations, I didn't need one to get a table. The hospitality was excellent right from the start, with the staff being super attentive throughout the meal. As for the food, everything tasted incredibly fresh and well made.

Had Italian at Vite in Astoria for Father’s Day and the food delivered big flavor. The burrata salad was the standout refreshing and delicious, 9.5/10. The Pappardelle Bolognese was very meaty (7.8/10) and the Panzanella Estiva seafood pasta had a strong seafood forward taste (7.5/10). Service was a bit slow, likely because only one waiter and the manager were covering the floor, but the atmosphere made up for it. The ambiance is perfect. Great spot if you enjoy bold Italian flavors.
