Vesta Trattoria & Wine Bar - Astoria (NY)

5 /5 Lucia LoBue: Love it here every time. A staple in the neighborhood. Great wine, lovely atmosphere, outstanding food. Their mussels come in a huge mountain, delicious, in a broth I wish I could drink in a mug. Their pizza is consistently great- thin, crispy crust if you like that (I love it). You truly can’t go wrong. Brunch, lunch, dinner. Always blows me away! Love love love it here!

5 /5 Marissa Darling: Love Vesta! It was our first time there and will absolutely return. We had the meatballs, mussels, pumpkin pasta (HIGHLY recommend if it’s still on the menu), one of the thin crust pizzas, and the baby jesus cake. All were great. There is also an amazing wine selection that pairs well with the menu. So often the food and wine menu feels disconnected so it was really wonderful to eat at a spot that put thought into this.

5 /5 Mattie Urban: 7/11/25 had not been here for 4 years and went for a late lunch. The music, atmosphere, vibe, food was good. The meatballs were delicious very soft and tasty. Mussels and, lasagna as well. I usually have orecchiette al fungi in many Italian restaurants but the one I ordered here did not meet my expectations. Raul was an excellent server and very attentive.

3 /5 Plaban Roy: Ive heard a lot of good things about this place and this was a nice restaurant with a great ambience and great service. It felt like the locals were very fond of this place and the servers were very friendly to all the patrons. I really enjoyed the seafood casserole appetizer. The sauce was amazing, flavors hit all the right spots sweet, tangy, spicy. The other appetizers were decent, nothing to write home about, mostly because the price point was high, around $20. The pizza was shockingly thin, it almost felt like the thickness of a tortilla, again decent but pricey. The entrees left a lot to be desired. I had the a pasta which was so overwhelmingly creamy and lacked any other flavor, to the point it was a chore to eat. But if youre a fan of super creamy and cheesy pasta, youll enjoy it. I also tried my friends mushroom pasta which had nice flavor but also felt like a chore to eat because it didnt hit a nice balance of flavors. The cake was very enjoyable and Id recommend trying it!

5 /5 Frank Roche: Really like this spot. They have a great wine list, with some under nitrogen so you can sample some high end wines. And the food is great. Had the orecchiette with truffles. So tasty. Lots of great choices.
