What’s my favorite salad this summer? I don’t think I could narrow it down to just one, but, the Astoria Salad at Artuzzi’s is definitely one of my favorites.
Crisp Granny Smith apple slices, candied walnuts, strawberries, sweet baby grapes, crumbled Gorgonzola, radicchio, celery and mixed greens. Yum!

The Setting: A free standing pale brick building that is significantly more attractive than your standard fast food restaurant.
The Staff: Friendly and efficient
The Food: The BBQ is suprisingly good for a fast food style restaurant. Slightly smoky and tender, we found the ribs, brisket and chicken to be the most reliable. The […]
