Cafe Premiata: Where Saturday Night Starts at Sundown
Most restaurants build their week around Friday night. Cafe Premiata inverts the calendar: closed for Shabbat, it flings its doors open Saturday after sundown and becomes one of the liveliest rooms in Kew Gardens Hills — a kosher Mediterranean kitchen that swings from wood-fired pizza to sushi without breaking stride.
The Concept
Opened in 2022 on the neighborhood’s famous kosher corridor, Premiata pitched itself upmarket from day one: a dairy-and-fish menu that treats kosher dining as a cuisine, not a constraint. Italian technique anchors the kitchen — pastas, pizzas, roasted fish — while a sushi program and Mediterranean plates widen the field far beyond the usual pizza-shop template.
What to Order
The tuna tartare and the arugula with baked feta open things stylishly; the penne arrabbiata and mushroom pizza are the comfort core; the pan-roasted salmon is the polished main the room is known for. Dessert is non-negotiable — the beignets have a following of their own, with tiramisu and cinnamon rolls close behind.
The Space
A polished, contemporary dining room that reads date-night rather than pizzeria — warm lighting, considered decor, tables that invite lingering — plus outdoor seating when the weather cooperates. On post-Shabbat Saturdays the energy jumps a full octave.
Who It’s For
Kosher-observant couples who want a proper night out without checking certificates, sushi-and-pasta households that can never agree, and anyone in the neighborhood chasing the beignets.
Good to Know
Is the menu meat or dairy? Dairy and fish — pastas, pizza, salmon and sushi; no meat dishes, which keeps everything kosher-flexible.
When is it open on weekends? Closed Friday and Shabbat; Saturday service starts after sundown and runs late.
Do I need a reservation? For Saturday night and holiday-adjacent dates, yes; weekdays are gentler.
Is there outdoor seating? Yes, in season — a pleasant option for daytime meals.
What’s the must-order dessert? The beignets — order them at the start of the meal so the kitchen times them fresh.

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…
