Astoria Cafe & Market

Greeted by warm smiles and seated without a reservation on a Sunday brunch afternoon, timing was perfect! There were only 2 open tables! We were given server, Brandy and other than the cocktail, she was the best! Her raspy voice and charming personality were both inviting as she walked us thru the menu, which was paring down as orders plowed into the kitchen!We enjoyed two all-time house favs... i thoroughly enjoyed the big dawg, Croque Madame and i can't tell you what was better, the ham Sammie inside or the rich bechamel-drenched Sunnyside egg on the outside... it's a tie! It was served with a highly dressed mixed greens, just so you can think you aren't eating a zillion calories! I could only eat 1/2 but the other 1/2 was just as good the next day, deconstructed!Mom had the Astoria breakfast and because they were out of the Lang's sausage, they gave her double bacon... i swear it was 1/2 lbs! The petite taters were delicately crisp but be careful of the Calabria chiles... the heat ain't no joke! It's a drive for us, but well worth it! Just ignore the fact that you are eating in a deli!!!! (Spolier alert)Check out my pics...i wish I had smellavision or scratch and taste!

What a cute market and restaurant! They also have their own private parking lot. Great service and drinks that were fast and friendly. The small plates are my favorite but try what you like. With your receipt at the end of a meal you get a discount from the little deli shop!

An easy 5 stars!The patio is amazing for a summer night, super private. The staff was AMAZING. All extremely knowledgeable about the menu, pairings, etc. We got the hummus, Iberian Milanese, grouper jambalaya, and the prosciutto pizza. They were all great! Be sure to check out the market inside for some authentic items to pick up and take home.

Amazing service and unique flavorful food! We really enjoyed all the options and flavors of this menu. It's a great place for groups and casual hangouts! Our waiters and waitresses were super friendly and explained all the meats on the charcuterie board and brought more bread every time we were close to running out. Would love to come back and try the cheese boards.

I visited for the first time towards the end of January 2024 after viewing the new apartments across the street.They have a small market that is attached to the restaurant so you can shop for some Italian spices, sauces, snacks, wine, etcPIZZAS -- Their pizzas are probably one of the best that I've had in Cleveland. Soft and rich. Flavourful. I ordered the Pizza Margherita ($15 during happy hour time) which consists of herb-roasted tomatoes , fresh mozzarella cheese, and basil with a garlic sauce. This pizza is soooo flavourful and just perfect. No meat is even needed. Normally, I don't like to eat cheese neither do I really like sole cheeses or I hardly eat cheese but the mozzarella cheese in this pizza did not make my stomach hurt and it tasted fresh. Earlier this morning, I came across my photo of the margherita pizza and I'm craving to order it tonight - that's how delicious it is. I recently had a dry and hard pizza from a pizza restaurant in Lakewood but Astoria Cafe has one of the best pizzas in the city of Cleveland. I also tried their pepperoni and mushroom pizza and those were really.I also ordered the Chicken Avgolemono Soup ($7) as a starter before the pizzas arrived and this was a nice soup but it needed some more flavour besides salt.I'll definitely be back to Astoria Cafe to try other menu items and to buy the Biscotello cookies from their small market.****GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024- 10/150 total reviews in 2024- 660 total overall Yelp reviews- Reviewed on Friday, 15 March 2024

Astoria is a fun place for brunch that I've been told is a good place to meet your friends from the far side of town. I'd definitely recommend reservations. The dining area is on the small side and there was a pretty big line when we left. That being said, the staff were really friendly, service was great, and I've been dreaming of that fried chicken. We had the full brunch beverage array - water, coffee, and a fun drink. The menu isn't huge, but everything looked good, and there are some intriguing boards I'd like to sample. I had the chicken and biscuit, and the chicken was fantastic. I'm sure the biscuit was good, too, but I was pretty honed in on the chicken. The skin SNAPS when you bite it! So good! The food was well seasoned, and the staff were really nice about letting us take our time, even on a busy day.

Remains one of my faves in the 216... we had the octopus, salmon and maiale ribs... all were excellent... festive scene makes this summer patio experience super fun and our regular bartender Jess guided us on great drinks and dishes and is an asset to the venue.

Ambiance is spot on and puts you in the mood to enjoy the person/s you are with right off. However, the beauty of Astoria is the service followed by its great well thought of menu and execution. Every time we visit Ohio, we visit Astoria and they NEVER disappoint for the last three years. How they consistently hire great people, creative chefs and keep the ambience fresh is why I highly recommend this place. Jordan! The recommendation of the fish taco was the best I e had ever.

It was my first time at Astoria and it was a fabulous experience. The server (Mario) was attentive, polite and offered clarification on our questions. The cheese bread appetizer was delicious and the main dishes were enjoyed by everyone in the party. We were seated at table that had plenty of light (but not too much) and were very comfortable the entire dinner. Looking forward to going again!
