“ 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. ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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 ! ”
“ 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 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! ”
“ Tufino Pizzeria is a charming family-owned Italian restaurant located in the heart of Astoria, and it's a true gem of the community. As soon as you step inside, you'll be greeted with warm smiles and a cozy, inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The restaurant specializes in wood-fired oven pizzas that are simply divine. Each pie is made with the freshest ingredients and cooked to perfection in their beautiful oven, resulting in a crispy, flavorful crust and toppings that are bursting with flavor. Whether you're a fan of classic margherita, meat lover's, or something a bit more creative, you're sure to find a pizza that suits your tastes. But Tufino is more than just great pizza. They also offer an impressive selection of other Italian dishes, such as homemade pasta, seafood, and antipasti. As regular customers of Tufino Pizzeria, we can confidently say that it's one of the best Italian restaurants in Astoria. I can't recommend Tufino Pizzeria enough!! Stop by and check it out yourself ”
“ 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 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. ”
