Tufino Pizzeria

This place did not disappoint. Everything was spectacular. Focaccia bread appetizer Spicy vodka rigatoni I can not say enough good things about the appetizer or the entree. The meal was perfect. The service was very good here too. The servers were on top of it and took great care of us. The only other feedback I would give is that if you don’t have great eyesight, bring glasses and a be prepared to use the flashlight from the cell phone because it’s pretty dark in there. Overall, I would highly recommend this place and hope I can eat there again sometime- the menu is packed with things I’d love to try.

The dough on the pizza is the best I’ve ever had. I have no idea how Rob does it! The Cesar salad dressing on the salad is something my friends and I (all steak eating men) could not believe how tasty it was.

9/5/25 Had dinner here last night and as usual it was great. This is a family owned restaurant and the owner Steve is a very caring and professional person. He makes sure that everyone is happy with what they’re eating and if they’re not, he’ll do something about it I love the vibe, the decor, the music, the service, the food, the attention to their customers . Mauricio our waiter is very attentive and gives customers excellent service. Steve we had a terrific time. It was a pleasure seeing Mom and meeting the rest of the family. Blessings and Love to you all. Wishing you the BEST always Mattie & Ricky

Don’t pass by this unassuming sit down pizza spot. The decor is funky, the pizza is amazing. I’ve been here several times and have never been disappointed. As a small place with a big menu they are frequently sold out of some items, but not to worry as everything is good. Service is quick and the staff is nice.

Took my fiancé for his birthday dinner. The servers were super friendly, attentive, and down to earth. Made great suggestions on what to order. I was blown away by the spicy rigatoni à la vodka. It was heavenly. Also, thanks for the birthday dessert they gave my fiancé. Super sweet and thoughtful of you guys. I would definitely be back again for dinner sometime soon.

The food was good! Not bad but maybe should change up the menu a bit especially being in Astoria (a lot more options out there and I could see the menu expanding). The atmosphere is very welcoming and my waiter was very respectful and attentive. Our waiter Mauricio knew the menu inside and out and his recommendation made our night. Do wish the menu was more diverse but it was overall good. Will return.

This is our favorite pizzeria!!! We're very picky about pizza and hadn't found a pizza that we liked! We found Tuffino by chance and ordered the Robiola pizza, omg delicious with a unique flavor! Since then, we've always come here and order this pizza, and to top it all off, they have the sweet Nutella pizza, the perfect combo!!! We then decided to try the Alfredo pasta and, to our surprise, it was WONDERFUL!!! I think it was the best, or one of the best, I've ever had! Anyway, now we've added the pasta to our favorites list too!!! If you come to the restaurant, order these three items and you won't regret it! I highly recommend it! The service is also always very good!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is by far the best pizza in Astoria. It’s fresh and so tasty. Love this place. The only downside is some of the people who work there seem a little cold. Just is what it is. Need a warm person in there to get the vibes. But I can get over that bc of how good the Pizza is.

Dim lighting and a calm, intimate atmosphere make this spot perfect for a date night. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which added to the overall experience. The food was excellent across the board. I tried the truffle pizza (Every Day I'm Trufflin) along with a pasta dish, and both were delicious. That said, the truffle pizza truly stood out and is easily one of the best I've ever had. Relaxed vibes, good service, and memorable food. Definitely a nice place to go with a date or family and one I'd happily return to.

I hadn't been to Tufino in ages, so I decided to stop by after the Halloween festivities happening on Ditmars. We were sat immediately, but service was slow after that. It took quite a bit of time for our waiter to come by and take our order. The place was very cold as well due to the door remaining open for most of our time there. I totally get they were trying to get folks in from off the street, but damn it was chilly. The interior is clean with lots of wood accents. I ordered the spicy vodka rigatoni which wasn't good at all. It tasted like they used a serrano or jalapeno pepper in this to make it spicy, which wasn't the flavor I was expecting. I have a high spice tolerance, but this was almost inedible. I took it home and tried to add some dairy to it so that it didn't go to waste, but it was truly one of the worst dishes I've ordered at a restaurant in ages. My boyfriend's vodka pesto margarita pizza redeemed this visit and was great, but for real do not order the spicy rigatoni vodka pasta.

Came here on Sunday for lunch as a walk in (6 adults, 1 child), pizza was our choice of meal. First and foremost, the staff here are so kind and happy to serve you! Food: Had the meatball appetizer which was good, although it did taste a *tiny bit* gamey for my liking. We ordered 3 pizzas which were margherita, pepperoni and another one which had both pepperoni + sausage. It's brick oven pizza so you know it's going to be good, and it was. Vibe: Family friendly, a good place to have brunch on the weekend with others. They have indoor and outdoor tables, pretty spacious. They do have a wine and cocktail selection also. All in all, a solid spot with good prices and pizza in Astoria. End it with an amazing pastry at Martha's right across the street!!

Came in on a weekday evening with a group of 9 to celebrate a birthday. Thankfully street parking wasn't too difficult to find. The restaurant is small but but we had a reservation and we were seated right away. We started with the Frittura Sampler to share. The arancini, fried calamari, and mozzarella fritto were all delicious but I can tell the mozzarella fritto was the family favorite! Each part of this dish had the perfect crunch to it. For my main dish, I ordered the Fettuccine Porcini. I loved that there were plenty of mushrooms and the truffle sauce wasn't overpowering. The portion was big enough to have the leftovers for lunch the next day! Great staff and we had a great dinner with family.

I've been a Tufino customer since they opened. I used to love their pizza. Haven't been ordering from there as much lately because the last few times I did the pizza was disappointing. We gave them another chance tonight and the pizza was downright bad. The prosciutto was old and slimy and the cheese was dried out like it was old. There is a lot more brick oven pizza competition nearby these days, and I hope they can turn this around bc we do enjoy the vibes of this restaurant, but the quality really needs to improve because I fear the competition is running circles around them at the moment.

DELICIOUS PIZZA! We had a really great experience at Tufino. Our waitress was really patient answering all our questions and the bartender brought our drinks out right away. One of the best brick oven pizza's I've had in a long time. The crust was sooooo good. We also ordered a sandwich - very good as well. The bread was amazing! The place is really cute and with elegant shiplap on the walls and pretty chandeliers. Great for a date night!

We went to Tufino for lunch today. Although from afar it appeared to be empty, I did not mind as I have been to Tufino before and love their pizza. When we walked in, it was not empty, one table being served. We asked the server to sit in the back and he told us that "the owner does not like it when we sit customers in the back if the front is not full ...". Ok it left a bit of a bad taste in our mouths as we wanted privacy to talk and something more quaint, as we also were going to order a bottle of wine. We sat in the front and ordered the Nonna 12" pie which was enough to share for two people at lunch if not starving. We also ordered the Chianti although wanted the first Italian wine on the menu and were told they were out of it. The Nonna pie is delicious and the Chianti was good. The service was good it just became a bit awkward when the server told us we could not sit where requested at a restaurant that was a practically empty. I really supported Tufino during the pandemic, I love their pizzas (the prosciutto arugula is amazing!) and would sometimes stop by to get their frozen cocktails during that time. Tufino is a wonderful place that we hope to return to in the near future. I am glad we decided to stay and not leave but I think telling customers what we were told may turn people away. Just some feedback. Cheers!

Things that are good at Tufino: Wood-Fired Octopus Crispy Mozzarella Fritto The Parmesan Don Margherita Pizza The cheese there in general is great.

Good food and we received decent service. I wish the pizzas were something to write home about but that wasn't the case. Personally I would have cooked it some more for more flavor but I would never turn away any pizza no matter how boring it might be. I can recommend a visit but for me once is enough.

Thank you Tufino! I had an amazing time celebrating my birthday here with friends last weekend. I am gluten free and absolutely love the gluten free crust. I ordered the Prosciutto E Arugula and it was so tasty and the lemon added a nice touch. I have also had the D.O.C. before and it was equally good. My friends ordered the margherita pizza and Donnie Brasco and said the pizza was amazing. The burrata was chef's kiss. They put the croutons on the side cause I can't have them but my friends enjoyed them. You must order the peach frozen cocktail. It's absolutely fantastic. I also liked the strawberry frozen drink. I wasn't expecting dessert but my friends inquired and Tufino prepared gluten free zeppoles with Nutella. I haven't had a zeppole in so long. These were mouth watering. My friends ordered the regular zeppoles for themselves and loved them. They also enjoyed the gluten free treats. Ty for making my birthday special. Shout-out to Adriana who took pictures for us.

Family members and friends must be writing these other reviews! I trusted them and made the mistake of straying from Love and Dough in DUMBO that makes the best vegan pizza in NYC and trying this dreadful pizza out. It is HORRIBLE. Too much cheap cheese and the vegan sausage tasted like flavorless wheat. I was very disappointed and had to trash most of it. I stripped the cheese off and ate a slice only because it was too late to get anything else in. Will stick with the far better "Love and Dough" from now on. They make their own homemade vegan cheese and sausage and it is actual brick oven. I am so mad that I spent almost $40 on a pizza at Tufino via UberEats, that was so bad I had to toss it most of in the bin.

Hubby and I came here last year. We came here for snacks and ordered Margherita DOC pizza and eggplant parmesan. Both were not bad, but the wait was too long for us to snack. I think it was a busy night. We couldn't get to enjoy eating here due to the long wait, so we had a slice and had it to go. Not a bad pizza. The eggplant was pretty good, but too much cheese. I only had the eggplant when I ate it at home.

Still one of the best wood-fired oven pizza places in Astoria Ditmars restaurant row. Great variety and excellent service . It is such a great place to relax alone or with a few others. . A great Italian craft beer Basei Blonde Style Beer was suggested to me . Now I am not a fan of can beer at restaurant but this beer changed my perception. If you enjoy a nice beer with pizza - do order this one !

OMG AMAZING! This was my first time ordering and I always ask for Extra Cheese on all my pizza orders but no one ever really listens--- TUFINO, hit the nail on the proverbial pizza coffin!! The details to how well done I want my brick oven pizza is Type A personality.. I REALLY APPRECIATE DETAILS!! Okay, I had the Margherita Pizza, Margherita D.O.C., and Penne Alla Vodka. Delicious!! This is a fantastic brick oven pizza spot-- don't hesitate, I'm not one to hype up everyone, but this was Chefs Kiss!!

Got a recommendation from someone in the area and this place did not disappoint! Spicy burrata was probably one of the best pies I've had in a while! The San Gennaro was tasty as well but man... did not compare. No tap beer, but has a great selection of local beers and prime wines. The deserts were just fantastic and I'm going into my food coma as I write this. Great service that are knowledgeable, and consistent. I will be back when I'm back in NY! Recommend for travelers and locals!

We've been ordering from them for years but may never again. This is the second order that has taken well over an hour to get to us. Pizza is cold and needs reheating...again! The food is great but the service is lacking. Update: Was contacted several times by Tufino and they are working to remedy the issue. Hope to update this review again soon.

Last night, my family and I had the pleasure of dining at Tufino Pizza to celebrate my son's school concert, accompanied by another family. From the moment we stepped in, we knew we were in for a treat. Ambiance: The restaurant exuded warmth and charm, with its cozy yet vibrant atmosphere. The soft lighting and inviting decor set the stage for an unforgettable evening. Service: The service at Tufino Pizza surpassed all expectations. From the friendly greeting at the door to the attentive waitstaff, every member of the team ensured our experience was nothing short of exceptional. They were knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations, catering to our varied tastes with enthusiasm. Went above and beyond! The Food:: Ah, where do I begin? The star of the show, of course, was the pizza. Each slice was a masterpiece, boasting a perfect balance of flavors and an irresistible, wood-fired crust. We had the beet and Misi Salad, Gnocchi with Short Rib, The Don Chicken Parm, Calamari, - I blame them for making me feel fat because we couldnt stop!! Highlights: Robert the Chef, The Owner's Mom who brought our kiddos ice cream on the house the Bartender with this amazing drinks - The Perfect Women and Espresso Martini's were amazing!! Overall Experience: Our evening at Tufino Pizza was nothing short of magical. It wasn't just a meal; it was a celebration of good food, good company, and good times. Whether you're marking a special occasion or simply craving a delicious slice of pizza, Tufino is the place to be. We will be back and will be making this a regular place for dining out :) Thank you!!!

I didn't have many expectations - when I came to this restaurant. I did call in advance to make reservations, but I was told that it's first come, first serve. It was true as there weren't that many people that came in on a Wednesday night at 6:30 pm. However, as the night went on, it started getting packed. So, perhaps call in later on to ask for seats. The service was great as I asked for wine advice, and the server gave me a sampling. The only thing to be aware about is that if you decide to check in, they won't honor the deal anymore. Anyways,we started off with arancini balls, which have mozzarella and beef inside of it. Got the Donnie Brasco, which has pepperoni & mushrooms on it and the San Gennaro pizza, which has the Italian tomato sauce roasted red peppers, roasted onions, and Italian sausage with honey (it's supposed to be spicy, but it wasn't.) For drink, I ordered the, "perfect pizza wine", which was neither too dry or too sweet. It was great with the meal. If asked, I would return, but maybe in a few months as I am pizza'd out.

We ordered pizza for delivery and received the incorrect order but they were quick to resolve the issue. The staff were super friendly and the pizza was delicious! Would definitely recommend pizza from Tufino!

The pizza is excellent and they have an amazing assortment of different toppings. The service is quick and efficient. The food is served quick which is great because the space is small.

Unassuming gem on Ditmars. I've been to Tufino a couple of times over the past 4 years. They consistently have welcoming staff and delicious food. Standout dishes, the clam pizza, the wood-fired octopus, and the baked clams. On my most recent trip, my companion and I stopped in for a little bite and some wine. We grabbed a table outside in front of the neon "You Want a Pizza Me" sign. We ordered the octopus and baked clams. As always, the octopus is a large position of tender tentacles. This dish is so tender you can cut through the octopus with a spoon. On my last visit, the sauce on the octopus served was a bit too vinegary for my liking, preventing my urge to lick the plate clean. The baked clams are garlicky and buttery, you can't go wrong with these! Come for an app, lunch, or dinner, this place will not disappoint!

Tufino? More like Truffle-fino. They sure do like their truffle oil here!  Even if you don't fancy truffles/truffle oil, there's superb Neapolitan pizza to be found at this restaurant. Their logo tells me that they've been open for 11 years, and their website mentions a hand-built, wood-burning oven from Naples and a special three day dough leavening process. Whatever they're doing is right because the pizza crust is delightful. The Nonna ($20.50) and the Vodka Pesto Margherita ($23.75) are our go-tos, along with the Mista salad ($14.50).  --Nonna: Thick slices of homemade meatballs and dollops of ricotta, yum. --Vodka Pesto Margherita: Vodka sauce, pesto, house mozzarella, and pecorino dance together.   --Mista: The candied walnuts are my favorite aspect but everything else is great too (balsamic vinaigrette, fennel, endive, goat cheese, mixed greens). Part of me wants to branch out and sample other dishes but why mess with success? The Yelp check-in offer doesn't seem to be active anymore so don't count on being able to use it. Service was fine. There's some outside seating too which I look forward to utilizing once the weather warms up!

Date night at Tufino's and it was our first time there. Everything, except for a screaming kid, was perfect. Service was great and very attentive. We started with the arancini. Oh my. An explosion of flavor. Legit one of the best rice balls I've ever had and the sauce it was served with was rich and tasty. Served neopolitan style with Mozz and Beef bolognese. We got the Vodka/Pesto Margherita pizza and everything was flavorful. The crust was perfect. A thin, crisp texture with that wonderful woodfire flavor. Delicious. Drinks on point. Highly recommend. Can't believe it was our first time here. Most certainly won't be our last.

2 kinds of gluten free crusts - 1 gf and 1 cauliflower gf Vegan options like vegan meats and cheeses Vegan mozzarella sticks Not bad for gluten free I'd get the vegan pepperoni again but not the vegan meatballs - they were just ok Gf crust is nice to have and 2 kinds but pizza feels a little dry w them. Maybe get a side of sauce or drizzle w olive oil We did do delivery so pizza probably is better when eaten there We also got the pizza w just tomato sauce no cheese and it was really tasty. I'd get that again

We had lunch from Tufino at my office recently. Obviously everyone appreciates employer-provided lunch, but if I'm being honest, our catered meals are usually a little bit on the fast food-y side. It was a nice change to have something that felt like a real, home-cooked meal- served by warm people to boot. Everything looked appetizing, but I had the penne alla vodka, meatballs, and farro salad- all very good. I don't visit Astoria often, but will keep this place in mind for the next time I do!

The only reason I know this employee is because I met him at this restaurant I found on yelp last year, it was during the day time so there were no other customers and he gave me a great experience. Five stars for excellent food and service. Cheers! Happy holidays to business owners that write cheeky reviews to their customers - most recent photo a pic a snapped after ordering delicious take out recommended by Tommy or whatever name you prefer to call employees

Wonderful food, good servive, terrible ambiance. The music here is loud and intrusive. I can't think of anyone who wants to eat gorgeous Italian food to loud bad pop music. Lower the volume and pick something benign. Good lord. If I wanted to listen to Sabrina Carpenter, I'd go to her concert, not a higher end restaurant. This is a very family friendly place (I will never understand taking a kid to a gourmet pizzeria) and unfortunately there is lots of children being loud, tablets/phones w/o headphones competing with bad pop music and bad parenting. At a certain point management has a right to ask people to control their kids for the sake of other customers, but they dont do that here. We all have to act like it's charming and not a big deal while listening to autotune. Only pick up/order seamless from this zoo.

The place looks cozy, sorta dim, nestled right in the busy section of Ditmars. Ordered a Margherita w/ burrata, a San Genaro and a marinara. As for appetizers, got the Calamari and the Octopus. The apps were what you'd expect. Not any different than any other place, in my experience, that would serve these items. The pizzas are ~12" pies. Sorta like a personal+ size. I personally liked the crust. Found every item OK. The sweetness in the San Genaro was the only thing I didn't like. Though I did order that to try something new. Overall impression/conclusion... I must unfortunately say that it was not worth the price. $107 for the 5 items listed. Food was ~OK+. The rest of my party voted for a resounding "wouldn't do it again". It's worth noting that I ordered to go. Food was packed as I waited and consumed in less than 10 mins from the moment I received it. Every item was still fresh and hot when we ate. Absolutely, one's experience could totally be somewhat different had we chosen to dine in.

A group of us stopped here for dinner. The place is very quaint and cute. Upon entry it smells delicious so I knew we were in for a treat. We tried a variety of items from their mozzarella sticks , to the rice balls to the Octopus then for mains we had the spicy rigatoni pasta and a few different pizza pies l. Everything was soo delicous and fresh we had a few drinks to which were all great.

3.5 overall: Good food and Italian style pizza - inconsistent quality and delivery. KEY TAKEAWAYS: - Have been sticking to simple pizzas like the DOC margarita and zeppoles for desert which are both usually really tasty! - Sopresat pizza (see pic) delicious brick oven pizza 1/2 times I ordered and the 2nd time the sopresat didn't taste fresh and garlic was lumped on like someone took a spoon full of minced garlic from a jar and plopped it on the pizza. Really wish it was more consistent. - Zeppoles (see pic) are so different in a good way. They have nutella and ricotta on the inside and speinkled with honey. They come 6 large zeppoles and are fabulous, good amout of nutella for me but some folks might find it too doughy and not enough filling. They are inconsistent w amount of honey on zeppoles. Wish this was consistent as the honey really makes the dish for me. - Delivery - Always order through seamless and this place does their own delivery, which is frequently 20-30mins later than estimated on seamless, so FYI.

Went here with my sister-in-law to celebrate our niece being born. There was a cute outdoor area available for us to sit in as it was gorgeous out. The service here was impeccable and we were very pleased with how we were tended to. Even though it was lunch we were celebrating so we got drinks. The frozen beverage we ordered was absolutely delicious and not too strong. For lunch I ordered the prosciutto and mozzarella as well as the focaccia bread. My sister-in-law had a gluten-free pizza and she said it was super yummy. She actually comes here quite often for their gluten-free pizza and says it's some of the best around. I will definitely come back here again and next time try the pizza as a focaccia bread was awesome. I am sure their pizza gluten free or not is just as awesome.

The taste, the smell, the ambiance.... What is not to love about this gem? I only wish I had room to eat more. So delicious! I'd give them 6 stars if I could.

Y'all, Tufino Pizzeria is so delicious - you need to go here!! From the great Italian apps to the variety of specialty pizzas, everything was amazing and there is something on the menu for everyone craving Italian food! My faves were : Appetizers: the grilled octopus, baked stuffed clams, meatballs Pizzas/Calzones: burrata pizza and the clam pizza Drinks: gin fizz Can't wait to go back!

I'm so impressed with @tufinopizzeria I had an amazing evening at this cozy restaurant. The food was worth the trip to Queens I indulged in: Apps: Cripsy mozzarella fritto Baked clams oreganata Nonna's meatballs Calzone fritto Wood-fired octopus Spicy rigatoni Pies : Prosciutto E Arugula Clam Pie San Gennaro Spicy Burrata *my fave * Soppresata Picante (All 10/10) Although they're not a cocktail bar, their drinks are on par with the best of them. Complex & thoughtful.

Funny sign; better calzones. Frankly, came here because Figlia was closed and I was not disappointed. We sat outside which was ok - we could watch people make their way home from the subway and listen to some music. The weather was nice though a bit windy so napkins were flying. We ordered a beet salad and a calzone. Really good on both fronts. The beet salad with goat cheese was an ample portion - the beets were quartered and were pre dressed in a simple vinaigrette. Service was good. The pizzas looked good, as well. I would definitely go back as the menu offers many interesting sounding pastas, other salads and appetizers.

Honestly wasn't impressed. Too expensive for the quality of food. Service was good though.

It was a last minute call and I was craving pizza. So my friend recommended this place. We ordered two pizzas (one per person) and two beers. The Pineapple Express and the Robiola. Both pizzas tasted good. Thin crust. Not heavy at all. We also shared a plate of polenta fries as a starter. It was interesting.

I've been ordering from Tufino with some regularity, over a good number of years. The food has been consistently good. I particularly enjoy their salads, pizza and eggplant parm. They also used to have an amazing gnocchi dish, that I think had bits of braised short rib or something, in the sauce, but I no longer see it on their Seamless menu. ;-( The times that I've dined at the restaurant, the ambiance and service were always great.

Best brick oven pizza in Astoria. Period. Each pie is handmade to perfection by the amazing Tufino chefs! If you are new to this spot you best start at the classic DOC margarita pizza for a tasty classic. My friends and I also love coming here for the crazy delicious rice balls... i've never tasted one as good as these ones here. Give this spot a try, you won't be dissatisfied

Ugh the pizza was amazing at this place . What I love most about certain pizza spots is that I can eat vegan options . And you can make anything vegan and they have vegan pepperoni and sausage . We got the vegan margherita and vegan mozzarella sticks . Idk what kind of batter they use for the sticks but they were so good so crunchy on the outside and gooey and cheesy on the inside . I really liked the pizza the crust was the best part . I would have liked the pizza itself to be a little crunchy but it was really good . Nice sauce to ratio and fresh basil . It was really nice . I felt the staff could have been a little warmer but other than that it was nice .

This place is pretty ngl. The food is definitely taste but it needs alittle more sauce on its pizza for my liking. The crust is tasty but with extra sauce my god it's good. This place also accommodate vegan options so if you got that one friend this place is a good spot. I love the mysterious dark lighting in the place but for pictures it's hard to take. Service wise was very nice, friendly and sweet. For a quick bite and chill this place is great

I went here for a date night after work and had a great time. The inside was slightly full but the service was great and the hostess made several stops by the table to check our drinks and see how we were. The pizza is amazing and made really fast as an appetizer. The pasta was so creamy it melted with each bite. I had the truffle pasta which was beyond generous with truffle garnish. The pizza was spot on and the drinks were also generous in size. We were able to share the pasta with a pizza and still left with a small bag of extras.

Yummmm, came across this spot (without realizing I've had it bookmarked for a while) on a cold winter night for outdoor dining. They have a pretty nice tent setup and it was still a little chilly but bearable. The tables are basically on top of each other but there are screens setup in between. We were lucky enough to snatch a table right away on a Friday night. When we were walking in, octopus came out for another table and we immediately knew we had to order it as well. Definitely the right choice - it was sooo tender in a tangy citrus sauce. I had the clam pizza which was also very tasty, however, the clam is more of a mince/paste rather than actual clams. I've never had it like this before but it was still very tasty. My bf had the ragu which was very tender and serving was generous. They also have an interesting cocktail menu - not many Italian places where you can get a margarita! Didn't see their 20% check in offer until just now but will definitely be back!

I've been here before and have always had a great experience. The Margherita pizza is yummy and the calamari is crispy and tasty. My boyfriend had the Pineapple Express and he enjoyed it. I've also ordered baked ziti before and enjoyed that as well. The service was great; they were attentive. They have an outdoor area for seating and people watching. The inside space is of a decent size.

Tufino is a Ditmars best-kept secret. Wtf, I was NOT expecting the pizza here to be some of the best I've had. Surpriseeee! One Saturday night my hungry fiance and I wandered in for a casual date. We were blown away. We shared the San Gennaro pizza and it was AMAZING! The dough was perfect, everything was perfect. They even have a TV with a live camera showing the brick oven. We also shared the farro salad and the octopus, as well as a bottle of wine because duh. A sweet craving kicked in and when we asked to see the dessert menu the waiter said their best item is the CHOCOLATE EGGPLANT. Yes, you read that correctly. It sounds weird, it sounds gross, but it was, in fact, the best dessert I've had in a LONG time. Seriously, we were blown away. Come for the pizza, stay for the eggplant, it's worth it.

Great experience overall pizza's on always on points. Friendly service !! They really made sure to make everything right. Very hands on, very Astoria

Great selection of Italian food and pizza! Everything I've tried on the menu I would get again. I'm usually a traditionalist about ordering something new, but I've taken some of the recommendations from the instagram page to order things I would have never thought of ordering. Great spot, casual, and trendy inside!

I came here for a birthday dinner and the food was great! They have gluten free and vegan options too. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about allergies. Will definitely be back!

Impressive -but no masks worn during food service I was very impressed with this pizzeria/Italian restaurant. The food was excellent and esp the Pineapple express and wood-fired octopus. Christina and Holle were exemplary waitresses and satisfied all my dining requirements. No masks were worn(considered optional in NYC -but still a best practice to wear them). I did not see many diners inside so I could not verify vaccine checks. The establishment has a beautiful outdoor garage for want of a better word and is nicely shaded. I had read and heard about a few mixed reviews, but in my opinion, they are up there with Sac's Milkflower (both Neopolitan pizza ) and Vesta Trattoria. I am sure there are other examples I missed. I plan to be back and highly recommend them. I paid $54 including tips and 2 sodas.
