Valentine’s Day in Astoria: there’s something for everyone!
February’s here and we all know what that means: countless Instagrams of either ‘singles awareness’ memes or photos of couples you kind of knew (but didn’t really know) were still together. Fortunately, if you live in or are in close proximity to Astoria you know there are a variety of options to celebrate solo or with your significant other. Whether you’re single or happily taken, Astoria has something for you!
Gastroteca

For those who equate Italian food with romance (you’re not alone), Gastroteca has a prix-fixe menu ready to go! The prix-fixe menu is $65 per person, and includes a complementary glass of prosecco along with a three-course meal. Diners can choose from hand-pulled mozzarella, beef tartare, or a salmon on a ricotta crostino to start, while main course options range from pasta such as risotto or lobster fettuccine to beef tenderloin and prawn scampi. To complete the meal, the third and final course is a choice of either a chocolate mousse cake or a honey panna cotta with strawberries. Mangia!
