"Maybe you’re in the mood to eat some wood-fired pizza on a big patio with oversized string lights. That’s when you should head to Sotto Le Stelle in Sunnyside. It’s the neighborhood spot we all wish we had, and in addition to pizzas, you’ll find calzones, frozen cocktails, and plenty of seafood on its menu." - nikko duren

"Sotto Le Stelle is Sunnyside’s go-to date spot. They do wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas in a casual, rustic room that looks like it’s been around forever, even though it only opened in 2017. The pizzas come out with charred, airy crusts and toppings like sopressata, hot honey, and artichoke. You can’t really go wrong with any of them. This place feels a little less romantic during the day, when they tend to have the big TV on behind the bar. But get a seat in the backyard on a nice evening, and it becomes a magical experience. Afterwards, grab some dessert from Arcobaleno, their gelateria next door." - neha talreja, nikko duren
"Perfect For: That person who eats tomatoes only on pizza Pizza is a time-tested crowd favorite that pleases children, adults, and adult children who are expected to eat with people their own age. One of our favorite sit-down pizza date spots is Sotto Le Stelle in Sunnyside. They have three Neapolitan pizzas that are just sauce and a mild cheese, and one that forgoes cheese altogether. (We’ve recently learned that non-vegan cheese-haters exist.) Either way, you can eat it on a cute patio with string lanterns and potted plants, instead of standing up at a greasy slice shop." - neha talreja
"SoleLuna is a charming Sunnyside restaurant where you can have a coffee at the bar during the day or stop by later at night when the space fills up with locals sharing simple pastas and bottles of wine. This is a quintessential neighborhood restaurant where they keep the menu simple and the owner comes to check on you wherever you’re sitting. The menu has staples like a basic lasagna and a fresh, bright pollo al limone—but pay special attention to the dinner specials. Past favorites have included an inexplicably flavorful octopus-and-mango salad, and a creamy gorgonzola fregola." - bryan kim, kenny yang, neha talreja, willa moore
