Rialto Ristorante

Hidden gem with lovely food and service! Been here twice so far and the staff make us feel so taken care of. Special shout out to Robin who really goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. Definitely recommend if you’re in the neighborhood - there is a lot of space for events and a charming outdoor seating area in the back. We’ll definitely be back again and again!

Rialto has been phenomenal both times that I’ve visited! The first time, we came for dinner and drinks; the second time, we just came for drinks but ended up getting a second dinner with dessert because it is that good. Rialto truly is a great addition to the dining scene in Astoria! Domenic, Marco, and Robin were fantastic hosts - friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to talk to! Their attention to detail and the lengths they go to to make it a great experience is noteworthy. The food - it was lights out both times! The first time, we got the calamari and the tortellini in brodo for appetizers, then the gnocchi al pesto and the bolognese for main, with tiramisu and sorbet for dessert. Hard to choose what was the best that evening - if I had to choose, I think the gnocchi won along with the tiramisu! The second time, we got the prosciutto as a snack and then were tempted into the veal saltimbocca. Both delicious and good portion sizes! Then, somehow we had space in our bellies for dessert - we had carrot cake and a pistachio ricotta cake! The carrot cake was very good, but wow…the pistachio ricotta cake was truly memorable. I will be getting that every time I go there when it is available. The place is surprisingly spacious - you wouldn’t guess from the storefront, but it is actually huge. The restaurant is very deep, with a floor underground and a beautiful, large backyard with a second bar! The cocktails and wine were delicious - Marco and Robin served up some excellent Negronis! We are planning to go back soon and make this one our neighborhood staples!

An exceptional dining experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable—attentive, courteous, and professional. Every dish was beautifully presented and perfectly balanced in flavor, showing real dedication in the kitchen. The atmosphere is elegant, ideal for a special dinner or a quiet evening out. Without a doubt, one of the best restaurants I’ve ever visited. Highly recommended. and the best bartender Sandra..

Last night I had a pleasure of dining at Rialto, the new Italian restaurant that just opened in the neighborhood, and I'm happy to say it's a very welcome addition. I ordered the roasted veal and it was outstanding. The meat was tender and perfectly cooked and it was served with a side of potatoes that complimented the dish. The staff was very friendly and attentive and overall experience was great! If you are in Astoria and looking to experience authentic Italian food followed by great service its definitely worth a visit!

My boyfriend and I are local to this area and Rialto is a welcomed addition! To start the owner Dominic was so inviting and warm. Our lovely server Marco gave us a tour of the back garden and provided a little bit of history for us. We shared the beet salad(so good that I forgot to take a photo of it) and it was so fresh and full of flavor. We also enjoyed the Cacio Pepe and their whole Branzino. The Branzino melted in your mouth and every bite had the most herbaceous flavor. Their bartender Robin was super helpful and provided us with delicious red and white wine. They even made me a virgin mojito! True customer service! We can’t wait to spread the word about this place and can’t recommend it enough. Thanks for making us feel so at home!

Where do I begin, let me start with the host and bartender, an extraordinary hospitality and accommodative. Sanda has the go to drinks and the food is Amazon!!! 5* for sure!! See Sandra for drinks !! Love this place definitely recommending !

Absolutely amazing food and service, it was four of us everyone was happy, steak was delicious the appetizers great, + decent price. For sure we will be back, and highly recommend!

Everything was delicious and all the staff were very friendly. Will definitely come back to try the other offerings on the menu. The gnocchi is a must order!

Great addition to Astoria! Food was amazing and the staff were all great! The interior space was beautiful. Reminded us of many of the higher end Italian restaurants in the city we like. The outside area is enormous and has both a covered area and completely open area. I have dined at the owner's restaurants in the city and always had great meals with family, friends and clients. It's great to have the same caliber of restaurant in our neighborhood and will be back frequently.

Absolutely thrilled to have such a fantastic and delicious restaurant right around the corner! My husband and I love coming here whether it's for a quick bite with drinks or a full course dinner, it never disappoints. Hands down, the best pasta in Queens! If I could give this place 6 stars, I would!

This is a new Italian restaurant we accidently discovered when looking for a place to eat at one evening. Food and wine were fantastic, great service, and a beautiful dining space. There's even a very nice outdoor area downstairs. They will have an even larger dining area next door when it is completed. Can't wait to visit again.

My partner and I have been here twice in 2 weeks and both times have been absolutely blown away. We are both very particular about our food and have been completely blown away by every single item we have tried in the menu. From the grilled calamari to the risotto, plus the delicious drinks, we were absolutely floored by the quality of the ingredients and how delicious everything was. The staff was warm and inviting and the drinks were perfect. This is definitely a place we will keep coming back to. At this point we are committed to keep coming back until we have tried every single thing on the menu. The desserts look great, but to be honest we have been too full at the end of every meal to try them. No worries. We will be back. A new favorite for Astoria to be sure.

Was amazing great food and service, I brought my family, everyone was so happy with everything
