Cafe Premiata: Kosher Dining, Dressed for the Evening
For years, an elegant kosher dinner in Queens meant a trek or a compromise. Cafe Premiata closed that gap: a refined Mediterranean dining room in Kew Gardens Hills where the salmon arrives pan-roasted and glistening, the pizza comes properly blistered, and the dessert list alone justifies dressing up.
The Concept
Since opening in 2022, Premiata has aimed at a clear niche — upscale kosher dining built on a dairy-and-fish kitchen. The repertoire is Mediterranean with an Italian spine: fresh pastas, pizzas, roasted fish, bright salads, and a sushi selection that lets one table graze across three culinary traditions. The result quickly became the neighborhood’s answer for anniversaries and celebration dinners.
On the Table
Begin with the tuna tartare or the arugula salad with baked feta — the two starters guests photograph most. The penne arrabbiata brings the heat gently; the mushroom pizza and Greek salad hold the middle; the pan-roasted salmon is the elegant centerpiece. For the finale, beignets have become a house signature, with tiramisu and warm cinnamon rolls completing the sweet shortlist.
The Space
The room is genuinely pretty — soft lighting, tasteful modern decor and a calm rhythm that suits long conversations. Outdoor tables appear in warmer months, and Saturday nights, when the restaurant reopens after Shabbat, bring a festive, dressed-up crowd.
Who It’s For
Couples celebrating within the bounds of kashrut without sacrificing style, families marking birthdays over pizza and sushi in the same order, and dessert devotees on a beignet pilgrimage.
Good to Know
Is it strictly kosher? Yes — a supervised dairy-and-fish kitchen, so the entire menu is available to observant guests.
What are the weekend rhythms? Closed for Shabbat; Saturday dinner begins after sundown and the room fills quickly.
Is it right for a special occasion? Very much — polished service and plating make it the area’s default celebration room.
Can one table order pizza and sushi together? Yes — mixing the menus is half the house’s charm.
Should we save room for dessert? Always; the beignets, tiramisu and cinnamon rolls are the true closing argument.

An absolutely fantastic experience! From first glance, everything was perfect. The Margherita pizza was perfectly crispy with fresh, fragrant sauce and just the right amount of cheese. The spicy rigatoni had an incredibl…

We came from Connecticut, were very impressed and will definitely be back. Excellent food and service in a great atmosphere. As a kosher Jewish Italian participant, I give it 5 stars. I'd give more if I could!
I've been to this restaurant many times before and always loved it, but the quality and service have changed. We sat for about 10 minutes before we were given menus. Then the food took over 30 minutes to arrive. The cris…
