Greek seafood and lobster pasta for an easy Astoria date night
Book a laid-back Greek dinner in Astoria, where whole fish and lobster pasta anchor an easy date night.
Lobster pasta and a warm room 🦞
Anassa Taverna sits on Astoria Boulevard with a warm, energetic room that makes a weeknight feel like an occasion. The kitchen leans Greek and coastal. Whole fish arrives glossy with olive oil and parsley, and the lobster pasta comes tangled with a tail still in the shell. Open with fried saganaki or the light, crisp calamari, then move to kefte and filet mignon kebabs plated in generous portions. Cocktails keep pace with a service team that reads the table well. Weeknights run dinner only from 5:00 PM, and the weekend starts at 11:30 AM for a longer, slower lunch. Prices sit in the mid-priced range, within reach for a Friday date or a group splitting mezze. Astoria has no shortage of Greek kitchens, and this one earns its 4.7 across 878 reviews with steady cooking and an easy welcome.
