   Astoria food is great and so is the atmosphere but man the service is a shocker. We ordered chips but this only arrived at the very end of our meal which took a long time to arrive. One of our fried never arrived yet they still tried to charge for it. Water bottle was not topped up at all. Also one of the staff member snapped at one of us rudely. What a shame it used to be a great place to eat but will look elsewhere.

   Vibrant and bustling Cafe with quality coffee and absolutely delicious food...the staff were very friendly and warm...food came quickly and was a cut above your usual breakfast fare...this Cafe has quite a Eutopean vibe set in downtown Wellington...if you're looking for a great breakfast experience, look no further than Astoria

   Lady Lunchalot get together with ex work colleagues. The place was buzzing. Despite the weather outside the inside was friendly and welcoming. Staff very professional, kitchen prep area very open. Plenty of seats. We had two shared plates and three pizzas. This was ample for the five of us. Staff very attentive and the food was tasty, well presented and plentiful.

   A solid Italian restaurant oozing with style. Nestled in Midland Park, Astoria greets you with a moody space filled with the smells of bread, olive oil, and matured cheeses. The waiters are warm and attentive. You will never feel rushed or forgotten and no ask feels out of place. The menu has plenty of gluten free options, many of which can be adapted. For example the linguini pawns were served with gluten free penne. However, Astoria cannot guarantee dishes are safe for coeliacs. Unfortunately fresh bread is prepared in a shared cooking environment. The wait staff will ask you if you are coeliac as you place your order. The food is a modern interpretation of classic Italian flavours. In particular, we would recommend the burrata and beef cheek ragu.The burrata was fresh, delicate, and soft, while the ragu has a strong umami flavour. The drinks menu will appeal to a wide variety of taste buds, preferences, and ages. You will also find a range of Italian drinks and sprits like the Camperchi Chianti Riserva and Limoncello spritz. Overall Astoria is a good restaurant. However the menu, although varied, lacks the flare to really wow. It is also a shame that the dishes aren't safe for coeliacs and the only pasta alternative is penne. A fundamental aspect of Italian cuisine is pasta variety which is flattered by only one option for all. _ _ _ * Critically Coeliac - reviews to die for * Whether a tasty treat or something more intimate, we are passionate about helping coeliacs find amazing restaurants.

   A good spot for a tasty meal. I often come here for the pasta and sometimes breakfast too. The food is consistently good. It can get quiet noisey in there.

   When you arrive and are recognised by the staff from weeks ago...Great! When they remember your drink of choice... outstanding! After a while the staff become like family, focused on making good choices for you if you want them to. Thank you Wen, Alex, Olly, Sam and Josh.

   4 cheese pizza was packed with quality cheese and the crudités was also very good. Service was excellent. Great vibe and popular with after work crowd.

   A comfy location, plenty of room inside. One male staff member seemed rather solemn. Pricing seemed reasonable (we bought 2 Astoria Breakfasts, 2 hot drinks and a fluffy) at $58.00. Food was decent, bacon was overcooked however. Eggs were poached and perfect.

   Excellent service and coffee. The full breakfast comes with top notch house made baked beans and a truly delicious sausage; my chief complaint is that there wasn't more sausages! The bacon is meat but a little dry, and the eggs need a touch longer in my opinion, but I greatly recommend this place.
