It is considered to be / as

[ademoglu]

Hi,

- It is considered to be one of the best restaurants in town.
- It is considered as one of the best restaurants in town.

I would like to ask if the two usages are OK or not

Thanks.

 

[Grumpy]

Yes they are.

For the second, I would use It is regarded as one of the best....

I am not a teacher.

Or, if you want to use 'considered' in the second sentence, omit the 'as'.
