I always enjoy Agnanti. The food is fresh and delicious, (my family and I enjoyed chicken souvlaki, grilled calamari and seafood pasta) and the location is unique and spectacular. Service is always good, too. I look forward to coming back already!

Steps away from Astoria Park, Agnanti embodies the heart and soul of old-world Astoria. At the helm? An effervescent, efficient staff that fosters a warm sense of community. At the table? Copper carafes of wine adorn white, wooden tables scattered across a range of indoor and outdoor dining experiences--each with its own charming qualities. On the menu? Deliciously vibrant flavors pair wonderfully with a freshness only quality ingredients can provide. Come for a quick bite of traditional Mediterranean fare and stay for a much-needed respite from New York City's harshness. After a couple of glasses of crisp white wine, you'll be transported from Ditmars to the Aegean. I've been coming to Agnanti for years and haven't tried anything I didn't like. While I love a classic Agnanti jaunt in all seasons, I particularly enjoy it during late spring and early summer when the park is alive and the weather is perfect for an al fresco experience. During my most recent visit, we arrived a few minutes earlier than our guests and were promised a table on the outskirts of the sidewalk--equipped with a large umbrella that perfectly blocked the sun. After being told we would need to wait until our guests arrived to be seated, a couple of other parties began to arrive. Working to quell the nerves of the crowd and still honor her promise of our table, the kind woman who seated us (and appeared to be the owner) allowed us to sit before our friends arrived. In today's restaurant business, where establishments need to consistently churn through guests to make a return (especially in NYC where rents are astronomical), it's these kinds of "human-first" gestures that set one establishment apart from the rest. We (a group of four) ordered the tzatziki (with extra pita), spanakopita, saganaki, and a large Greek salad to start. We decided to share everything, and the portions were certainly adequate. For our main course, we all split a chicken souvlaki platter (which comes with a large heap of their delicious tzatziki) and a whole Porgy fish special. Everything was excellent, and the vistas of Astoria Park never fail to provide a bucolic backdrop. The only negative we experienced was that the large Greek salad we ordered never arrived. However, with the rest of the food being so delicious and abundant, we didn't mind much (not sure whether the salad was taken off the bill or not, and again, I blame the wine). Our waitress was so sweet and patient with us, and despite clearly working a large number of tables, she still took the time to make our experience feel inviting. Like any good taverna, a complimentary taste of Greek delights is offered to each table at the end of the meal, providing a sweet close to a wonderful experience. Can't wait to come back soon!

Have not been to Greece yet however felt like I was transported to Greece when we went to Agnati. The most authentic vibe and food. Great service on a busy Friday night, the servers explained the menu thoroughly. Started the dinner with bread and delicious olive oil. For starters we ordered Fava with pita and chicken croquettes which were unbelievable. The tzakiki was fresh and homemade. For mains we ordered mousakka, lamb with lemon sauce which was tender and fall off the bone with a side of lemon potatoes. We also ordered the red snapper with a side of rice. Servers were kind enough to take out 90 percent of the bones for easy eating. Dessert was complimentary and the cookies were to die for. Go to agnati for a real authentic Greek experience!

Agnanti is a hop, skip and a jump away from our home that we don't take advantage of going to nearly enough. Located right at the entrance of beautiful Astoria Park, it is a cozy little corner spot to enjoy delicious food and drink good wine amongst family and friends. We came on a cold, rainy Friday night at the beginning of service. Didn't want to take the chance of coming too late and not being able to get a seat or feeling too cramped if it was crowded. Right away we were seated (first ones there) and brought warm bread. We heard the specials, read the menu and since I had been craving this for weeks, already knew that I wanted everything in site. Lol For appetizer we split a small Greek salad and the Shrimp Kataifi. 4 shrimp wrapped in finely shredded phyllo bathed in a delicious mustard sauce. You cannot go wrong. So delicious and the tangy sauce hit every note on every taste bud. Highly recommend. I had the Pastichio special with lemon potatoes. Nice and creamy. Very filling. Lacked a bit of flavor. I wanted something bold and in your face. This dish didn't do it for me on this night. Good nonetheless. They both had the Chicken Tigania plate. For some reason, they didn't have pork. So they settled on chicken. Mainly because they brought out two chicken rather than telling the one who ordered pork that there wasn't any. Still, no complaints. The French fries were seasoned nicely and very lemony. The only gripe was the fries were a bit soggy. I'm guessing due to the lemon? Either way, still very delicious. Air fried the leftovers and crisped up the fries to perfection. We all got very full, very fast. Service was impeccable. Complimentary dessert of chocolate cookies and the most delicious crumbly halvah was yummy. Maybe even more yummy because it was free. So so good. Long story short, highly recommend. Food is like home cooked comfort and on a cold, rainy night, there is nothing better.
