Uncle Peter's

Italian restaurants in Jackson Heights often become neighborhood staples, offering more than just a meal. Uncle Peter’s fits that role along the stretch of Northern Boulevard where the scent of garlic and simmering tomatoes drifts from storefront to storefront. The area has long been a hub for quick, flavorful bites, and this spot leans into that tradition with a menu that keeps pace with the lunch and dinner crowds. Dessert and coffee are served as well, rounding out the experience without fuss.

At 83-15 Northern Blvd, the restaurant occupies a corner that’s easy to spot whether you’re walking from the 7 train or driving through. Locals often stop by for a solo meal or to meet friends, drawn by the promise of fast service and a selection of local specialties. Wine and cocktails are on offer, and the beer list complements the dishes without overshadowing them. The space is women-owned, a detail that adds another layer to its place in the community.
