  So my girl and I unknowingly arrived 30 minutes before closing time and ended up getting some of the best service and food in Queens. Nobody else was there and we could've easily been turned away, but instead, Mili (our waitress/host) welcomed us happily and made sure we got something to eat.
  
  First off, the decor is great. Chicken parmigiana wasn't on the menu but the cooks were able to make it for me and it was fantastic. My girl's pasta was amazing. We didn't spend too much time, but we will definitely be back for more. Show this place some love.

  This restaurant is located an interesting area. At night I wouldn't really want to walk the neighborhood but that aside the restaurant itself is big and clean. It was empty when we went and there were 2 waitresses.
  We started with the calamari which was delicious, it was really well done, crispy with a nice bite. The bread is good and the Olive's very tasty.  My companions ordered risotto with seafood which was pretty decent especially considering I do not like risotto. It was dinner right.  It wasn't scratchy tasting or thick.  It was creamy and flavorful.  I ordered pasta which they do not make inhouse spirit their pastor is just packaged pasta the period it was good but a bit heavy.  There is nothing special about the creasing here. It's just done right.
  
  Mera's Tip: have calamari

  3.5 star review. Ora is hidden in a residential area of Astoria. It was fairly empty for Mother's Day. The restautant is family runned and service was very good. Food was tasty. The chicken campagna was tasty but the chicken had a very strange texture and crumbled to the chew. The Farfalle pasta was good but very basic. If you live in the neighborhood its not a bad place to visit.

  This place is a cute place on a corner on a quiet block. So me and my friend went there on a Friday around 6:30. We walked in to see we were the only people there . Lights were on high, no music. Smelt like they just mopped the floors. Wasn't sure if they were open... but a very friendly waitress took us to our seats. The lights were then dimmed and music went on. I would of rathered that to have been done before guests come into a place to eat.
  
  We spent a long time there and only one other couple came in to eat. And it's a big place ! I'm surprised no one was there on a Friday night. The food was quite tasty with a large portion and the service was spectacular. The wine list was great as well.
  
  I'm giving only 3 stars because I felt very awkward walking into the place that they were clearly not ready for us. A restaurant should be ready for costumers to come in at all times. And floors shouldn't be cleaned before a dinner service, because then the place smells like a dirty mop!
