Dionysos Restaurant

I retired after 32 yrs with the USPS & know basically every eating establishment in Astoria, Ny. Hands down , I give this Taverna more than 5 stars. Their lamb & potatoes amazing. The lamb is like butter, comes off the bone. Excellent Sangria, the best I’ve tasted so far. The flavor & taste is off the hook. Doesn’t need any fruit at all. Definitely going again with my family on a regular basis !

Came on weekend. Fun time with live music. Great service! Delicious food! Very Greek good time! Oppa!

It was a Saturday night. before Halloween We were in Astoria and were going to go to The Bohemian Beer Garden but it was a total mess with screaming kids and wasted teenagers we couldn’t find a server. It was loud and crowded! Yeesh. So we did a Google search for a place to eat in the area and just a few blocks down we were able to find this lovely oasis of peace and delicious food. We were there earlier and missed the music which would have been fun.

Dionysos is a very intimate Mediterranean dining experience. The food is perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. What sets this place apart from other greek / Mediterranean restaurants is their calamari. Each bite of that calamari is like a dream. I paired it with their house salad and everything was immaculate. The customer service is also top-notch. The food came out quick and the servers were attentive. All in all, visit this restaurant and experience for yourself what they can offer.

I’ve visited the restaurant last Saturday and the place was pretty busy. The food was good overall but not of the quality of restaurants back in Greece or Cyprus. The music was quite good but it was a bit uncomfortable to notice the old lady that I believe she was the owner persistently asking the female singers to go and grab some customers, a group of aged men that she looked to know them, and dance with them. That same lady on a couple of occasions came and pushed the chairs of our table, for providing more space to the specific group, without asking us and ignoring the discomfort she was causing. Finally, when I received the final charge on my bank account, it seems that they rounded up the final amount. It may be a few dollars more but that’s so unprofessional. Overall the night started good but ended with a big disappointment.

Very pleasant service and delicious food! Due to current conditions, I was the only diner at the time, but my Christmas dinner there was excellent! Too bad the menu didn't offer dessert, but the quality and atmosphere were worth the trip back to Astoria from Forest Hills.

This is some amazing Greek food. The dips were all delicious! We tried the branzino and a Greek salad and everything tasted great! The place is very basic, no frills but the food is what you go there for!
Can’t wait to go back!
