"Aliada’s menu is full of pretty typical Greek specialties. There’s an incredibly soft and citrus-y octopus dish with tomatoes, caper berries, and onions on top, and some fried and sweet saganaki triangles that we’d like for our next birthday cake. This Astoria spot is the sort of comfortable, laid-back place where you could bring your entire family or someone you hope to one day convince to meet your entire family. There’s a great patio area out front with herb planters everywhere, and inside, there are bowls of tomatoes sitting around just for fun." - Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim, Neha Talreja, Carina Finn Koeppicus
