Pizza debuts new wine bar
ITALY
VITE VINOSTERIA, 31-05 34TH ST
EUROPE
Brush up on your Italian pronunciations for a trip to rustic
restaurant and wine bar Vite Vinosteria. Take the classic mozzarella
cheese staple to the next level with their Burrata E Pachino,
imported creamy buffalo milk mozzarella from Puglia with
cherry tomatoes and basil. It wouldn’t feel like a voyage to the
Mediterranean without homemade pasta, so order what you
would really find in Italy with the Pappardelle alla Bolognese or
Linguine alle Vongole (with baby clams). Or, sit outdoors and
imagine you’re in a pizzeria in Napoli with a glass of rosé and
the Bufala Pizze or Parma Pizze.
GREECE
ZENON TAVERNA,
34-10 31ST AVE
Of course with Astoria’s history we had
to include some Greek food! One of the
original Greek restaurants in the area,
Zenon Taverna is celebrating its 30th anniversary
this year. Known for its Sheftalia
(Cypriot sausages), Halloumi (Greek
cheese with goat’s milk), octopus and
calamari, you can try a classic or keep
track of the homemade, limited quantity
meals served only on specific days of the
week. Their version of avgolemono — a
traditional Greek soup with egg, lemon
and chicken — is delicious, and perfect for
if you’re feeling a little under the weather.
