Pete Wells gives one star to Michael Psilakis's MP Taverna in Astoria. One particularly winning dish: "The soft, round gnudi, the ricotta's young milkiness given depth by gratings of aged graviera from Crete, are piled around and around with pine nuts, crumbled feta, heaps of spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. There are spicy bites of lamb sausage everywhere, and a garlicky tomato sauce with white wine. It isn't a dish you meditate on. It's one you demolish, forkful by forkful." [NYT]
