Mauro Ristorante

We had an absolutely incredible dinner at Mauro’s Ristorante! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and taken care of. The meal started off strong with the appetizers recommended from the waiters. They were all fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. For the main course, our group ordered various chicken dishes, and every single one was a hit. The chicken was tender, juicy, and the sauces were authentic and delicious. What truly elevated our experience was the service. A huge shoutout to Augie, who was phenomenal! He was attentive, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed while giving us great recommendations of what to order. It’s rare to find service this polished and personable and it did not go unnoticed. Whether you’re looking for a great family dinner or a s

My wife and I had a healing, incredible meal here. Yes, the food is delicious and well made with generous portions. I can personally recommend the salmon and the pastas. My wife loved the chicken and the soup. The cheesecake is the best we've ever had. The drinks are strong and delicious and well made. But what's makes this place stand out is the people. The owner loves the food he is making and cares for his staff. The staff seem happy and their energy and joy come across everywhere. We stayed past closing time chatting and eating and drinking. I can't wait to come back. You should visit too.

This place is exceptional. The cuisine, service and decor are on point. Highly recommend!

After 20+ years in Astoria, I’ve got pretty high standards when it comes to geeat restaurants — so trust me when I say this place is the real deal. We just moved to the neighborhood and weren’t expecting to find this gem, this spot instantly felt like home. Super warm, cozy, local vibe, and Augie (the owner) and staff fully tentative to every detail. The baked clams were so good we ordered them twice. The artichokes were on point, and the pappardelle Bolognese? Ridiculous. We literally woke up the next morning still talking about how good dinner was. Hands down our new favorite. Total must.

Mauro’s is a must-try. The food is amazing and the menu is incredibly diverse, featuring Italian dishes from the top of the boot to the bottom. Everything feels thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. Auggie, the owner, is a wonderful guy who truly gives back to the community, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommend.
