Best Italian in Astoria
Master Critic Review
Via Trenta Osteria & Wine Bar
8.5
A polished Astoria neighborhood trattoria where the room and wine list feel intentional, but the kitchen still leans into classic Italian comfort. Best when you anchor the table with a seafood-leaning main and one housemade pasta, then let the bottle do the rest.

Branzino, Housemade pasta, Oysters (seasonal)

Logistics & Planning

Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—multiple pasta and appetizer options; staff is flexible with modifications.
