Agnanti

"This Greek restaurant on Ditmars Boulevard serves some of the best grilled octopus in the neighborhood, as well as some moussaka that you’ll lie awake thinking about quarantining with. Since this spot is so close to Astoria Park, you could always take your food to-go and have a picnic." - hannah albertine

"An Eater 38 wouldn’t be complete without a Greek fish restaurant in Astoria; a current fave is Agnanti, founded in the early 2000s, by Maria Lambrianidis and Spiro Sidorakis. The setting on the edge of Astoria Park, with its views of the East River, is memorable, and the roster of fish that can be grilled over charcoal or breaded and fried reflects a seasonal and partly local selection. You can’t go wrong with a mess of whiting or a one-pound black sea bass, and the bread dips and salads are great, too." - Eater Staff

"If you put Agnanti Meze on the Lower East Side, there would be a line to get in every single night. That’s how good the food here is. Fortunately for you, this place is in Astoria, where there’s an abundance of quality Greek food - and you could probably stop by and get a table right now. This place serves some of the best grilled octopus in the neighborhood, and they also make some very good dips and a bunch of things wrapped in puff pastry that you’ll think about while you lie awake at night. Bring a date or a big group, and go for a walk through Astoria Park (across the street) afterward." - Hannah Albertine, Bryan Kim, Neha Talreja, Carina Finn Koeppicus

"Agnanti serves Greek dishes like tomato croquettes, lemon potatoes, swordfish kebabs, and standout grilled octopus, in a family-friendly atmosphere." - Eater Staff

"Then we go to Astoria Park for some melitzanosalata from our favorite Greek spot, Agnanti."
