Description

This Queens venue serves as the local outpost of Manhattan sister restaurants Arno and Murano, bringing restaurateur Milan Licul’s forty-year formula of NYC Italian fine dining to Astoria Blvd. The menu draws from the geography of Northern Italy, translating its coastlines, valleys, and mountains into modern plates. Visitors point to specific highlights like the beef carpaccio and pistachio coffee, served in a polished space where the staff regularly coordinates group events and milestone dinners.
