We have been to Mundo twice and each time Willy has treated us like we were in his home. The first time we were there a few months ago, we were treated to gluhwein (warm and spiced red wine), because of an hour wait due to us forgetting to make a reservation. Drinking it felt like being in Europe only were actually in Astoria and not far from home. The wait was well worth it because the dishes that were prepared along with the service we received were the best I've ever experienced. We began with the red sonja, an appetizer i wish would never had finished so quickly. The combination of lentils in a lettuce wrap tasted so great and of course was one of the most unique appetizers I've had. Since we came in a group of five I also got to try some of the other appetizers and was impressed but the red sonja is certainly the top dish on the menu in my opinion. The main dishes served were quite tasty and we almost did not fit dessert due to our trying out most of the menu. Our second trip gave us quite a surprise as we managed to get the house special called camarao na moranga. It was a pumpkin stuffed with shrimp, cheese and a wine sauce. It was a dish that will certainly fill two to three people but with six people on the table we felt cheated having to share such a delicious dish. The veggie wrap that my brother in law had the pleasure of trying is a must have for vegetarians how are into lentils and wonderful vegetable combinations. The service was just as excellent as before and it was a pleasure to dine and see Willy again. Though the setting is certainly more romantic we managed to enjoy the experience as a family. It is definitely a place that deserves repeated visits due to its unique menu. Highly recommended for vegetarians as well.
Pros: Cozy, Personal Attention, Excellent Food
Cons: Not recommended for younger children due to small size
