Bar Trattoria Frioland

HIDDEN GEM: This is a must try! I have been on two occasions now and both times have been incredible. There aren't many great restaurants in 'West Astoria,' so this is a really nice addition and is now a regular favorite for my wife and I. The first time I had the squid ink seafood pasta special which was incredible. Second time had the rigatoni buttero--it arrived very hot and fresh, the pasta was perfectly al dente. They start every meal with complementary parmesan cheese and bread (I have to say the bread is horrible, but hey it's free and the cheese makes up for it!). Decent selection of wine at reasonable prices. Total for 2 entrees, an appetizer (the beet with goat cheese salad was wonderful!) and a bottle of wine was under $85, which is amazing! For some reason it's been pretty empty both times we've been, hopefully this will help convince some more people to give it a try.

Amazing service and amazing prices. Astoria asset!

Took my girlfriend here on a date. We had the grilled kalamari, the steak, and the shrimp Diavolo. It was perfect. The atmosphere was romantic, the food was really good, and the service was amazing. I would def recommend!

Went to the spontaneous drinks. Arian went 1000 extra miles! Thank you so much! Highly recommend!

Best Tiramisú of my life, hospitality and amazing food!

Trattoria Ora is our new favorite Italian restaurant in Astoria. My fiancée and I first tried this amazing place on Valentine’s Day. The service was top tier and the environment in the restaurant is so inviting. Since then we have ordered take out and delivery from here and the food is simply amazing. It really tastes homemade and not something you’d get in any generic restaurant. Every dish we have tried really was made with love. We will continue to eat here whenever we crave great, homemade Italian food.

The food is great. I had the goulash which was absolutely delicious. We ordered the veal which was equally as good. Everybody was happy with their meal. The venue is well designed a lovely place to spend with family and friends. You won't be disappointed

What a beautiful little place. The atmosphere would be great for a first date OR a party. The owner was charming & very attentive & even made adjustments to accommodate special requests. The food was EXCELLENT! Cooked perfectly. Don't sleep on this place, it is GREAT & certainly worth repeat visits.

The ribeye is amazing, definitely get it. The tiramisu is freaking delicious too. Even if you don't have the space for it you'll probably want another slice anyways.

This place has the best food in Astoria hands down. The grilled lamb and goolash stew over mashed potatoes were amazing. Def coming back.

Great tasting food, and comes with extra sides of salad, breads, and even a post meal cookie! Side note, I was very pleased with the management. I called to place a take out order and noticed one of the third party delivery services had lower prices listed compared to their in-house menu. The person on the phone (owner?) mentioned that those prices were incorrect because that third party website hasn’t updated the menu. Anyway, the person on the phone still offered to honor the lower price listed on a separate website even though they weren’t obligated to do so! Would have happily paid full price, considering the food was amazing. I would definitely return here to dine in. Great place and good portions.

We came in on a Saturday night for a party of 5. There was a large party taking up majority of the restaurant. I thought for sure that we would be told there was a wait but the manager went above and beyond to make accommodations for us. He asked a 2 top table to move to a smaller table and also grabbed an extra chair from a different table. From beginning to end this meal was amazing. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. For a short while it reminded me of my time in Italy. I highly recommend this little gem of a restaurant!!! Five stars from me!!!!

Lovely experience all around - the food was amazing, the service top notch, and a good price point. Happy to have a place I can walk to in my neighborhood that is nice enough to bring any of my guests. Grazie!

I walked in with my family yesterday for the first time & I was truly impressed.. the service is absolutely impeccable, heartwarming old Italian ambiance where you just feel like you walked into a place in Italy. The food was absolutely perfectly executed in the proper technique (Kudos to my colleagues in the kitchen as I, myself, am in the industry for the last 15yrs) Will DEFINITELY Be Back For More 🧑🏻‍🍳🙏🏻

Ora is such a cozy neighborhood spot. The vibe is warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed dinner. The food was excellent — loved the beet salad, the sautéed portobello mushrooms were full of flavor, and the steak was cooked perfectly. Everything felt thoughtful and comforting. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to.

Food was amazing!!!! The complementary eggplant was great with the bread!! Server was super nice and attentive. I don’t know why the restaurant was so empty because it was so good :)

We had a lovely dinner here with my grandparents. Food was delicious , fresh and classic. They made anything we wanted off menu and the service was amazing. Highly recommend this little spot that’s been around for almost 10 years! They even split our dishes on plates bc we were sharing which was so nice!! Penne vodka amazing also the tiramisu!!!

We had a great time at Ora. The service was great, the ambiance was good, the decor was nice, most importantly the food was amazing. If you looking for a nice affordable Italian restaurant then you must come here and check them out. We had the calamari, the Rigatoni Buttero, & Rib Eye Steak. Everything was delicious.

If you haven’t been, you MUST go to Trattoria Ora in Astoria. This secret gem is just a short walk from the N train and brings you to a super cozy, romantic, rustic restaurant with a sleek white banquette against exposed brick walls. The food is fantastic and the wine selection is too. Friendly service and affordable prices. Try the grilled Portobello and the farfalle Dolcino! Homemade desserts too like tiramisu and Italian cheesecake! Don’t miss Trattoria Ora!

Highly Recommend. - Happy Hour every day 4p-9p! (see pic) - Quiet Saturday night, chill crowd, friendly staff. - * Locals endorse the place (they have been known to make things from previous menus)...so much so that while having my beer a couple had me Taste A Sample of Their Meal (Veal Tartufatta) to prove how good it was... Now I have to come back. Feels like a living room. Good date spot. Open since 2018, so they're doing something right.

Run don’t walk if you want old school Italian food that’s well-made. This is the place to go. Their menu was concise. They didn’t do anything too flashy but everything was delicious. Everything is reasonably priced as well quality A1.

I’m new-ish to the neighborhood and was looking for a place to enjoy a glass of wine and delicious Italian food at a place that felt like “home.” The staff is kind, the food is fresh as well as some of the best I’ve had, the desserts are all made in house, and the space is warm and inviting. 5/5 recommend! Updating to add a photo of the tiramisu. Best I’ve ever had!

This was our second time here. Service is so attentive and food is delightful! Highly recommend this neighborhood spot to anyone looking for their authentic Italian fix.

I live across the street and I went there for the first time like 3 days ago… everything was fantastic, great food, great customer service, I’m definitely going back!

Went in for dinner for two yesterday and this has become our new favorite date night spot. As soon as you walk in, you get greeted by the friendliest staff and owner. My boyfriend and I decided to both sit on the booth next to each other and the owner without even hesitation moved around the tables to make sure we're comfy! (don't worry, there were plenty of other seats around) Then we asked what their best thing on the menu, we were recommended the sirloin with onion & mushroom + penne rigatoni. My partner wanted medium rare but I had to get medium well so we decided to get medium well but to our surprise when the food came out they cooked the streak to two different temperature for us!!! I was so touched by this kind gesture and the extra step of hospitality they took to accomodate us. The steak was truly the best i've had in a while, extremely tender and the pasta was perfectly al dante with the sauce perfectly adhered to the pasta. Thank you for such fabulous time. I can't wait to visit again soon!

Wow probably the best Italian restaurant in Astoria in terms of quality and portions. The fairest prices and the freshest food. Their minestrone soup is phenomenal, chicken franchese incredible, and they send all take out orders with bread (soooooo fresh and soft) as well as a little almond cookie! 10000/10

Celebrated my sister's birthday! If you want a gangster feel...at affordable prices..this is the place. Felt like home. Food is awesome! Raymond and Valentina is family. Right next to Astoria Park too!!

Excellent all-around. My GF and I stumbled upon this quaint and wholesome Italian restaurant. Reasonably priced and wonderful customer service by the owner. Will be returning.

Excellent Sirloin,Risotto,Mashed Potato, Cappuccino,home potatoes and I have to come back to try more dishes. Highly recommended.

QUALITY food in a comfortable environment. I’ve been 2x now and love it. The best risotto you will ever have. Broccoli rabe cooked to perfection. Pasta that holds up against the best.

Both incredibly tasty food and great service will be bringing us back when we are looking for Italian American food

Everything tastes good. We liked the zucinnie, the lamb chop, the steak, fish, mash potato with beef stew. Especially, the veal with truffles cream. However, the Ora chicken was a bit salty. It's a Saturday night, but not many people. After 10, live music started and people came in. We had a good time there.

Everything tasted very good and the service was prompt, polite and welcoming! ♥️

Dinner and drinks were so good. We came in a weekday and were a party of 11. The staff was great, very attentive. They even let my grandkids play on their piano. Felt homey and relaxing.

I visited this restaurant based on the reviews and tried the Chicken Ora. While it was very tasty, the portion size felt more like an appetizer than an entrée. The Chicken Parmesan had a great presentation, but the taste didn’t quite work for me. The atmosphere was okay, but overall, I didn’t feel it was a place I’d return to or recommend. It just wasn’t for me, but others may have a different experience.

It just wasn’t for me, but others may have a different experience.

We went here for the first time last Friday based on the reviews. The service and the people were very nice. For a Friday night, this place was empty. The food was not good and for some reason, they had the back door open and there were so many flies inside the restaurant which were on our food, water glasses etc. It was disgusting to eat there with all the flies. However, people were very nice! The grilled calamari was not good at all! Won’t be going here.

It was listed as being opened at four pm. It’s What was on the website and on the front window of the restaurant. when I happened upon an open door and went into the kitchen there was a drastic change the appearance of the restaurant from our last visit the staff was very confused as to who was coming who is in charge and when there would be people there to serve. The floor space was also for less inviting and the ambience has deteriorated quite dramatically. Restaurant cannot be honest in its hours is a no go in a world swimming with restaurants that deserve your patronage

Neighborhood Italian bistro with decent food but they have a long way to go on service. Menus were illegible since they were printed on paper and smeared.due to water marks - First impression is everything, waitress was not pleasant at all, believe her name was Elena. Calamari was overdone. Ribeye steak was ordered medium rare and came out extremely well done. When I mentioned it, I was told she would mention it to chef. Also, never even offered a steak knife, had to request it! Really shocked that they did not try to make it right. This was my second visit but don't think l'll be going back unless they try harder to keep my business. At the very least, I wasn't even offered desert or coffee for the lackluster experience. Hope they'll get their act together soon.

We arrive for dinner and there were not music and only one table besides us. The waitress was on a rush and didn’t care to check how was our main course, they turn off the music and we have to put our own Italian music from our cellphone to get some ambience due the waitress was talking all the time on her cellphone so so loud that we need another sound besides her voice. The food was ok but not excellent and with the feeling that we got from the waitress we rush to try to finish our main courses and leave. We will never come back here, it was NOT a good experience at all. I don’t know how this restaurant has the evaluation of 4.8 with the kind of service that the waitress gave us. Very very disappointing for a dinner that suppose to be special.

ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE – SHOCKINGLY RUDE MANAGEMENT This restaurant ruined my mom’s 60th birthday. We had a confirmed reservation, showed up on time, and were told—without warning—that they were closed for a private party. No call, no message, no attempt to notify us. After checking other reviews, it’s clear this is a pattern, not a one-time mistake. The woman claiming to be the manager (quietly gave the name “Lydia”) delivered the news with one of the rudest attitudes I’ve ever encountered. Her exact response was, “Your reservation is not our responsibility.” No apology, no accountability, no effort to help—just complete indifference. She genuinely did not care that this was a milestone celebration. This level of disrespect, disorganization, and lack of basic professionalism is astounding. Any restaurant that treats customers this way does not deserve your time or money. I strongly warn anyone considering this place: do not trust their reservations, their management, or their customer service
