I have heard extraordinary things about this place. I have been excited to go here for years. I came here for the first time on a Sunday around 3. We were able to pick our own table, which I always love. We sat next to the kitchen steps & register booth, which was our mistake as it lead to a many awkward & uncomfortable encounters. As a female, dining with her best friend, I have never in my life, nor ever again will allow what happened to me to happen again. A busboy who was late thirties continuously stood too close, stared at me for far too long, turned his back to my friend to stare at me, kept staring at me from the steps above. If I wasn't covered up in a large shirt & jacket I would have definitely left this restaurant ASAP. We ordered our food & were only able to take a few bites(which was unfortunate because it was REALLY REALLY GOOD) & immediately rushed our check & left. I was so shaken we went straight to our car & took off. We are young, 20 something girls & should NEVER have to experience this. I should have spoken to a manager but I was physically afraid this bus boy would follow me to the door. He also quickly checked my check book as soon as we put it down. Which now has me scared he will somehow find me. So will not be returning unless I am with my boyfriend or my father. Hope I can return & be able to improve this rating without the uncomfortable, inappropriate dining experience. read more

How is it possible that pasta cost so little and this restaurant servings are so tiny! The prices are huge, $105.00 Only one beer. Tiniest lobster tail I've ever seen, few shrimp and only like a hand full of pasta. It was dry. I was still hungry, so I ordered cheese cake and cappuccino, cheese cake was soooo dry! My husbands meal was delicious Rigatoni a la siciliano But a very small portion. In their defense We should of order apps and salad but I thought it was going to be a lot of pasta and I didn't want to spoil my appetite. Lol read more

Can't stay away! Tonight it was an amazing artichoke appetizer stuffed with breadcrumbs and sausage that set the bar higher on artichoke appetizers! The Halibut special was light, delicious and perfect. Barry is a phenomenal waiter and keeps the meal entertaining. Another spectacular meal at Enzo's! read more

Wow. Some of the best Italian food I've had in a while. The grilled octopus special was amazing, and the carbonara was fresh and perfectly prepared. I'm a snob when it comes to Italian and I'll be back. read more

Restaurant inside is beautiful, very surprising. Olive bread was the best bread I ever had at a restaurant. Ordered the chicken scarpiello with the sausage and that was pretty amazing. Sauce was to die for. Fried meatballs as an appetizer was very good, but simply too spicy. I was literally starting to sweat that why I didn't give it 5 stars, but this was an awesome place and I'll be back! read more

We stopped into Enzos yesterday after two other restaurants were unable to accommodate my daughter's food restriction. We were seated outside right away (around 4pm on a Saturday). The atmosphere was fun and the food was very good. But the reason for this 5 star review is that the hostess truly went out of her way to make sure my daughter was taken care of. When she saw an issue, she addressed it immediately and then came over with another item that she could enjoy. Her kindness was genuine and so appreciated, and it's the main reason we will be sure to visit this restaurant again. read more

I am only giving one star because I could not leave zero stars. I was with a party of five on Saturday night. My friend and his gf were at the bar at 2pm having apps and drinks. They asked the hostess for a table around 5-5:30pm. The hostess said to let her know when the whole party arrived and she would seat us. Our whole party arrived at 5:30pm and informed the hostess. She said ok and she would have a table shortly. We waited at the bar and had drinks. After the first hour of waiting, we checked in to see about our table. She said we were next and it won't be much longer. Another hour goes by and I go over to the hostess to inquire about our table. She proceeds to get extremely nasty telling me they are very busy and we did not have a reservation. I explained to her that my friends told her they needed a table for 5:30pm and she told them she would seat us when we all arrived. She said she never said that and no reservation means you get a table if there is one. I said how long would that be. She said after 9pm. I was livid I went back to my party and explained. There were two parties of 5 who we know did not have a reservation, came after us and were seated in the time we were waiting. She came over to us twice and said we had a table for us. Each time we watched her seat other parties at the tables she said were for us. We ended up walking out. The treatment of our party was beyond disrespectful. It was disgusting. Never will go back. read more

Food was very good, atmosphere very good. Service was good but the entrees did not come out together which was a negative. It was a very Italian feeling restaurant but I think most employees were not Italian read more

Food quality was lousy For $26 I ordered shrimp with asparagus over spaghetti. The spaghetti they served was supposedly homemade but it tasted pasty/floury not light. Also they served angel hair spaghetti with it when it should have been regular strong spaghetti the asparagus was over cooked and tasteless the shrimp were delicious and perfectly cooked. My son ordered the Arthur Ave pizza and it was sent back and taken off the bill although the crust was done the tomatoes on top were uncooked it looked like someone took juice from a 28 oz can of plum tomatoes and put it on the top. It was swimming with water and liquid so it seeped into the crust and made a floppy mess. My daughter ordered tagliatelle with vodka sauce and they did not serve her tagliatelle they served her a small rolled pasta. Service was bad. We asked for lemons for our water 4x. Nobody asked us how the food was after it was served i had to chase Down a bus boy to show him the wet soggy pizza I got a glass of wine it cost $10. Iwill not return there read more

So cleanliness was very good they offered sanitizer and wet naps. They tried their best to not circulate menus so instead they offered digital menus on your phone. Wait staff very professional and knowledgeable. service was timely and great to be honest. The food ‍ honestly I expected better for Arthur Avenue presentation was good but the food itself had no flavor. Patricias in Morris park has better food. Tomato sauce is bland, drinks were okay. It was disappointing to be honest. Even the bread has no depth. It was my third time there in 10 years, it leaves alot to be desired. Probably won't go back, food doesn't match prices Our server was an older gentleman he was very good! read more

My first time in little italy after I moved to the Bronx, and this was definitely a great italian food experience. my friends and I started with an appetizer platter of cheeses, meats, some veggies. simple yet delicious. Oh and the bread was really good. I think I got full just from eating that. Make sure you ask for olive oil and balsamic vinegar. we got a veal dish with mozzarella on it. this dish was really good. we also got a pasta with tomato sauce with olives. the sauce and olives were really well made, the tomatoes tasted fresh too. but I wasn't a huge fan of the actual pasta. Service was great though. You don't have to be dressed up when you go, but I recommend at least jeans. I've had better italian food elsewhere, but this sure is a great restaurant among many other gems along arthur ave (little italy) read more

My family invited me here for dinner on Sunday January 15th 2023, the atmosphere is on target, the waitress and service was great, and the food was phenomenal. I had the eggplant with spaghetti like I've never ever had before . Can't wait to go back. Thank you Enzo's. Mr. Mills and Kijewski family read more

Excellent chicken francese, very thin nicely battered could use a little more lemon. Zucchini fries were very good and service was above par. Would definitely try again. read more

Delicious food! Generous sized portions but not too big. Great atmosphere and ambiance. Clean bathrooms. The food was very quick to come out however getting our waiter to come back to us and handling the payment took an unusually long time. Hope this helps! read more

One of the best places for authentic Italian on Arthur Ave! I was honestly surprised to see all the bad reviews as I have been eating at Enzo's for years. I have never been disappointed with the service and the food is always delicious. Once you sit down you are greeted with their famous olive bread and a friendly waiter to go through the specials. LISTEN UP cause their specials can be out of this world. The Rigatoni Bolognese is my go to pasta dish and is consistently satiating. If you are lucky enough to find your way there on a Sunday, the Lasagna is a MUST GET. This piece of art is packed with three different types of meats and smothered in red sauce. Hands down one of the best lasagnas in NY! read more

Enzos of Arthur Avenue is excellent. All the recommendations are worth to try. I had 2 dishes, one of them being Chilean Sea Bass, both dishes were absolutely great. Bonus that their service is so very good, they are so swift and welcoming. Enzos of Arthur Avenue is so good. read more

I have made it my mission to have Chicken Parm at every restaurant on Arthur, and so far Enzo's is at the top of my list. Amazing food, good service, and a quaint, rustic atmosphere. If you want chicken parm, look no further! read more

Arthur Ave offers an array of restaurants, bakeries, and authentic meat and deli stores. A great place to walk the streets and taste a bit of Italy. We decided to eat at Enzo . We sat outside actually on the street which was closed off by the police. Plenty of people on the street but practicing social distancing. Our appetizers of rice balls, octopus salad, and mushroom pizza was amazing. We ordered house wine which I believe was over priced at $40 a bottle. Our entrees were hit or miss. I actually had veal parmigiana. The veal was tender and delicious but the pasta and sauce was not worth eating. The sauce was very sour and the pasta taste store bought! My wife's entree had fresh pasta which was amazing. In a group of 5 only 3 had fresh pasta but the sauce was a big turn off. I don't believe the chef taste his sauce. I will pass on returning to this place since I expect the sauce to be a key component to Italian dishes. read more

Enzo's does a great job of serving the community during Covid-19. You can choose to dine along Arthur Ave or on their patio. The facilities are extremely clean and the employees do their part to keep this up. The food is great and come in large portions. The fried meatballs are a great starter. The veal parmigiana was fantastic and came with a solid amount of pasta. Dinner was finished off with an espresso and fresh, delicious cannoli. I highly recommend this place. read more

Bronx location, SOHO prices. The food was ok. Nothing special. You can get a really good Italian food in the US. Just not here.

pasta was so good and service was super fast. everyone at the table enjoyed their meals a lot. it feels very homey and relaxing.

Absolutely delicious! We stopped in for lunch and ordered specials. The fried calamari was tender and melted in my mouth. All the pasta dishes are awesome. Had the rigatoni with sausage and broccoli rabe and my dad had Orecchiette pasta in a cream sauce which was velvety smooth. The olive bread is divine and is a nice change from the same old same old. Prices are competitive for the area but you get what you pay for. I will definitely return at some point in the future. read more

Great place to have a peaceful glass of wine and a peaceful Dinner. A very friendly staff and amazing appetizers! Just wish they had a bigger menu. I need more food in my life. I'm definitely going back. read more

Great dinner and really enjoyed outside seating. The sole francese was a real highlight and highly recommend. The clams casino were a delicious appetizer. We all enjoyed our dinners. read more

Very expensive poor quality food that they can't manage to heat up. Either hire a proper chef or give the cooks thermometers to check the temp. Even if it was hot the balsamic reduction was disgusting it was laconic and bitter as if they simple heat up balsamic n serve. Lasagna was cold so cold they fake muzz didn't melt. Fake muzz does not melt well anyway. Bread was stale. We requested to sit at a table by the wall two open table were told that it's reserved for 4 only. They then sit couples where we wanted to sit inside. Never again. My friend didn't want to take home the leftovers read more

I am so glad that places like this one are still alive and well in the Bronx. Please do not ever close. You are a wondeful surviving fragment of Little Italy. The food is simply amazing and such a great atmosphere. read more

Good food but.... Very creepy waiters. The bald dude was nice, but all the others were NOT. We were called "fresh meat" upon arrival. As we sat down, they all stared us down. As we ate, one of them stared at us intensely and making weird noises (ERH ERH). They kept on giving us very creepy stares and looking at us up and down. If you want to feel uncomfortable then go! read more

Last night the Chef totally outdid himself. I had the lobster and shrimp special. Appetizer - cold seafood salad - muah! Kudos to the owner and their staff. Delish! We have been to Enzo's/Arthur Avenue a few times and last night was over the top! Thank you, all! read more

Such a great meal ! We are home now in Brooklyn on a Monday night and still talking about it. Many of the restaurants in Belmont shut there doors on Mondays. Thank goodness for Enzo's and their wonderful staff for being there for us after a beautiful day at the zoo. read more

This is among my top 5 favorite Italian restaurants I have been to. We did not have reservations and they quickly accommodated our table of 5. From the moment we sat down, I felt like family and the waiter was professional and attentive but also very friendly! The drink selection is unique and they have an expansive list of wine. I had the chicken Parmesan (I cleaned my plate) and I was particularly pleased with the sauce. They also have a fantastic dessert menu, I enjoyed the chocolate mousse cake which was AMAZING and went well with my coffee. There was nothing disappointing about my experience and when I return to arthur ave, I will be sure to dine again at Enzo's. read more

Spacious place with family type atmosphere. Enjoyed a large portion of veal parmigiana. The veal was very tender and excellent pasta. Entrees are moderately priced and my son's pasta dish looked great as well. Our waiter was nice and service was very good. read more

Been to a few restaurants on this strip. And this one did not disappoint. The con: its small (this is only a con if you have a big party, you might have to wait). Thats it no more Cons! The pros: Its small (nice and cozy) just how I like it. We waited for our table at the bar, the bartender served us a HUGE glass of wine! Love it! They bring out bread! We ordered the mussel marinara as appetizer: it was delicious! The mussels were steamed just right, and the SAUCE!! Was delicious. You can tell it was made in house. We were sipping on the sauce afterwards as if it was made to be sipped! I ordered chicken parmesan with ziti. The plate usually comes with spaghetti but i replaced it for ziti. This place was delicious! Tasted liked authentic Italian food. My fiancé ordered the chicken capricciosa This was more on the lighter side, despite having a thin sliced delicious piece of fried chicken. It was REALLY good too. And im not much of a salad fan. We also ordered the Potatoe Campagnola which are thinly sliced potatoes with onions and peppers. They were a little greasy and a little spicy, but nevertheless they were really good too. The staff were great. Very attentive to our table! We are definite fans. And will return! Place was great cant complain. Average plate cost i would say is about $20 FYI read more

Haven't been back since they renovated and expanded. Looks great. Staff is super nice. I am giving this a four based on lunch. I would give this place a Restaurant- professional grade for the meatballs. Check my profile for the full scale. While it is not traditional I love the combo of a fried meatball, sautéd onions and chopped jalapeño peppers. Amazing. Their lunch menu is solid. I had the Italian hamburger. Good taste. I did substitute mozzarella in the sandwich. read more
