Best Italian Restaurant in Astoria

Today we had the pleasure of eating at Sac's Place at Kaufman Movie studios. Baked stuffed clams, basil pizza and handmade gnocchi... everything we ate was fantastic. Drinks were great too. Service was awesome, super attentive and cordial. The owner was there, and came over to talk to us, super friendly guy... gave us the background info that many of the recipes on menu are his grandmother's and go back over 100 years. This place is a gem.

Sitting outside right at dusk with a nice breeze, the rainbow lights on the telephone booths, a coke and an amazing slice from Sacs is a must do for anyone hanging out in Astoria. The pizza is perfect crispy yet soft, tangy sauce and a good stretchy amount of mozz! The bars great, staff is friendly and its such a perfect date spot.

Walked up at 9pm and ordered 3 slices of pizza: cheese, pepperoni, and mozzarella with basil. They were heated up while we waited. My first time eating New York pizza. It absolutely did not disappoint. The crust was thin and crisp but not crunchy. The flavor was amazing. I liked the plain cheese best. In fact, we ordered a second piece of the cheese. While I was waiting for my second slice, the owner came over and we chatted about pizza. He was so nice and welcoming. Very glad we came here.

Delicious, homemade Italian food! Best gnocchi and chocolate lava cake I’ve ever had.

If you know you know. We were sad to find out the 29th street and Broadway location closed but were relieved when we saw the "coming soon" at Kaufman. Take Advantage of Restaurant week while you can.

My husband and I celebrated our wedding dinner party at Sacs and we could not have been more happy. The food was absolutely amazing and the staff are extremely professional and friendly. Anthony, the owner, is such a sweet man and made sure everything went smooth on our special day. Thank you !
