Vesta Trattoria & Wine Bar

The Squid Ink Pasta here is one of the most delicious dishes I have had in Astoria. The $30 Happy Hour (Mon-Fri 5-8pm) Meat & Cheese Plate with a bottle of red or white wine from the tap is a steal.

Staff is SO friendly and the food is so fresh and delicious. The wines on tap are good and they will let you sample any of them. Also the hype behind the sweet baby Jesus cake is 100% accurate

Perfect place to eat when visiting Socrates Park & Noguchi Museum . Fantastic pizzas (Hangover & Kale ), dessert (torta del Gesu Cristo), friendly service & a wifi - overall satisfaction :-)

Excellent farm-to-table Italian fare and the perfect neighborhood restaurant in Astoria. The hangover pizza is great for brunch , but no matter when you come, save room for the Baby Jesus cake . Divine.

Do not leave without trying....tri-colored cauliflower (with a golden raisin dipping sauce ), corn on the cob (sprinkled with grana padano), the orecchiette (with kale pesto and housemade pork sausage ) Read more

Ashamed to say I've known about this place for years, but never made it down. Best margherita (and pizza in general) in Astoria. Also get the Baby Jesus Cake with a scoop of the same flavor ice cream !

They call it the hangover pizza ...potato , pancetta , sausage , and eggs sunny side up - it's everything you need to get your head on straight after a night out on the town . Read more

This a great place for dinner . It's very cozy and a great place to relax and have a great meal. They don't have a ton of choices, but everything on the menu is delicious!!!

Place has a nice atmosphere. Our server was very accommodating and pleasant. I enjoyed their kale pizza and wine . Although their cabernet was pricy , i think my company enjoyed it nonetheless.

Baby Jesus cake is amazing, so is the wine on tap , and all the pastas . We come in every few months and I’m never disappointed. Cute vibe too!

Cozy and romantic spot in the neighborhood . Great value - the menu is always rotating because it's seasonal.

I absolutely adore this place… it is delicious, rustic Italian and takes me back to being in a little trattoria in the backstreets of Siena. I love the local selections of both food and wine , Read more

Inspired by Italy and the local greenmarket, here, the emphasis is entirely on local: the produce comes from the Brooklyn Grange , and the walls are a gallery for local artists . Come for the wine tap.

Meatballs are totally worth it. The lasagna & cavatappi were both delicious. Leave room for the baby Jesus. It looks simple but tastes awesome. This place is great!

This place gets better each time. A small, no longer hidden gem . There's always a reason to come for brunch - pancakes , l'italiano, hangover pizza . Service treats regulars as family.

Never had a bad time here! Such a fun spot.. great music and the vibes / people are always fantastic! David is awesome!

Class act all the way. Hands down best restaurant in NY! Always impressed and always feel the love. Amazing food, superb owners and employees, and beautiful ambiance. Just say YES!

Great Italian restaurant hidden in Astoria. Recommend the Summer Salad , Lasagna , and Orecchiette . And end the meal with the Baby Jesus cake .

Sea bass , crunchy skin and flavorful inside. Finish off with the Baby Jesus. Man it's good

The Rib-eye was amongst the best I've ever had. Truffle-potato pizza , slow braised meatballs & hangover pizza . Pretty much can't go wrong. They know how to do it right here.

Fresh, home made Italian food with wine on TAP ! Pastas are all great, but the pizzas are really where it's at. Thin, crispy and great ingredients.

no matter what it takes to get here, do it. the menu is fresh yet hearty, and sources local produce . Prices are cheap and owner is a sweetheart. We stayed well past closing and he gave us free dessert

The hangover pizza is amazing! Eat if you're sharing with friends (or else you'll be taking home 3/4 of a pizza ). ????

Love this place! Fabulous chef wonderful menu...David, the manager he knows his stuff about wine .

I just felt like my mother made this food. Get the meatballs starter and the chicken sausage pizza !! First time customers who are def coming back.

Always a great selection of wines and food. I've never gone wrong with anything on the menu ever.

The house Red on tap is awesome. A little funky (a good thing) and smooth. Also kind of a bargain for $7.

The potato pizza is beyond amazing. The staff is very attentive and nice. I'll be going back many times.

Through October, this wine bar holds a pop-up farm stand selling local produce from LIC rooftop farm Brooklyn Grange , including spinach , basil , lettuce, rainbow Swiss chard , and herbs. Read more

Bonus points for the $2.50 "shots" of wine that let you taste a few before you settle on the perfect pairing. Read more

when given the choice between a tasting menu or a la carte items, always go for the a la carte.

Mussels appetizer is fresh, delicious & hearty.

Steak for 2 is amazing. Get the Baby Jesus cake

Everything! Bring your dates here. This place is awesome!

Romantic Italian place , good food, a hidden Astoria gem.

Ridiculously small menu (for dinner ). The wine on tap is pretty cool. My family and I all got cramps afterwards though...

Lasagna , pizza , pasta , Brussel sprouts and baby Jesus cake . And wine .

Wine on tap is amazing and fun. Pizza is really good and cheep.

Mussels app was phenomenal and kale pizza , simply outstanding, not to mention the cavatelli mmmmm

Delicious wine on tap and some of the best thin crust margarita pizza ever.

Dinosaur Kale pizza and Suncoast upside down cake make a great dinner !

Unlike any other place in the neighborhood . Great locally sourced food , local wine from the barrel, great staff . Can't recommend it enough.

Great music . The cat bathroom is incredible!

This place makes me miss Astoria...I've never had a bad meal here, the wines are all amazing and the service top-notch!

if you like REAL italian food , steer clear of their lasagna . everything else there is prepared to perfection and they use local organic ingredients .

Leave Manhattan for the best Italian in the boroughs. Share the "Quacker" pizza with duck , the award winning braised meatballs , and the signature Baby Jesus cake .

Pasta , wine both great

Baby Jesus, Hangover Pizza , and wine on tap . You pick the order, but you have to do this.

Amazing service!! Wine on tap is a treat. Baby Jesus cake is a must!!
