The staff handled the flow of guests with a lot of patience, and you could tell they were doing everything possible to make sure everyone had a smooth dining experience. The dishes came out looking great, and the flavors were enjoyable and well-balanced. You can see the effort put into presentation, and it really adds to the overall feel of the meal. It's the kind of spot where you settle in, enjoy the ambiance, and let the night unfold at its own pace.There's definitely a lot of potential here, and the friendly attitude of the team makes it a place worth coming back to. I'd absolutely return on a regular day to enjoy the experience again and keep discovering what they do best.

The chef loves his job and we can taste it in his creations. The music is loud but I honestly can't complain about the selection. The waitress didn't visit much but we also didn't need her. I have absolutely no complaints and should probably visit more often to get a full experience of the menu and the chefs talents. The only possible inconvenience I can foresee is parking if you're not one of God's favorites. Other than that the music's good, foods great, the temperature is accommodating. Enjoy.

The service was also top tier. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time, which I really appreciated for a special occasion. As for the food, it was just okay. My steak had a bit more fat than I would've liked, and while it was still decent, it didn't fully meet my expectations. The drinks were on the sweeter side, which may be a plus for some, but weren't really my preference. My friends and family felt pretty similar--everyone said their food was okay, nothing bad, but nothing that really stood out. Overall, it's a cute spot with great service, but the food could definitely be better. I'd still consider going back for the vibe and maybe trying different menu items.

I would have paid the extra money had it originally been listed as such, but I certainly won't now because this merchant, in my opinion, seems like a scammer and I won't want them having my bank information.

I'd been wanting to try this place, so I was excited when a friend invited me for lunch! The space…read morehas a rustic, laid-back vibe, and since we went in the afternoon, it wasn't busy. We started with the Burrata and butternut squash appetizer. It was an interesting combination and flavorful, though I wish the squash had been cut into smaller pieces. For my entree, I ordered a chicken sandwich. While the cutlet was generous and tasty, the sandwich felt a bit too busy for me--there was a lot of mayonnaise and an overload of chopped lettuce, which I ended up removing. We also shared their famous Miele Di Melanzane, which was delicious. The pizza was good too, and I really enjoyed the spicy honey on top. The staff was friendly and attentive which is always a plus!

What a wonderful spot for you to explore…read more We wanted to take our friend out to dinner for his birthday he likes a low key style. We called a head since it was 6 of us to see if we could do a walk in or if we needed a reservation , and both options are available which is a plus. Dress attire is your choice we dressed regular nothing fancy just day to day hang out style. We were greeted kindly by the staff sat down handed a set of dominoes to play with while we waited for our food and drank some water. The place is decorated nicely and you can see the vision in mind definitely. We placed our orders and I'm not gonna lie I came in thinking the food was gonna be eh but I was blown away by the flavors. For drinks we ordered a spicy sunset, pretty young thing and cokes. The spicy sunset is a nice strong drink and is rimmed nicely with just the right amount is tajin as you drink it; it has a nice smoky after taste to it definitely was delicious. The pretty young thing was a nice citrusy drink with a little salty aftertaste, which balanced out the flavor nicely. The cokes were not water down they were good as well. For food we ordered the Cuban sandwich with parmesan fries, butter chicken wings, butter chicken macaroni and cheese, steak nachos grande, butter chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and mom's butter chicken platter. This was a wonderful Spanish and Indian style combination of flavors. Definitely my first time having this type of food and wow what a mind blowing experience. Not one person in the table complained or had anything negative to say about their food. We all tried each other's food and each bite we exchanged to try was delicious and better than the last . The Cuban was delicious but the parmesan fries stole the show from that meal it was paired so lovely who would've thought those flavors would've mixed nicely. The buttery chicken wings oh my God dripping with goodness each bite was legit finger licking good lol. The butter chicken macaroni very very delicious. Had a nice cheese pull and a good balance could not stop eating it. The steak nachos were delicious I wish It had a little more meat, but it was not bad. The butter chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries also delicious and the fries were cooked so nicely that it was crispy and soft at the same time per bite. The mom's butter chicken platter was delicious they gave the right amount of sauce, the pita bread was delicious and soft, the salad that it was paired with was good too the rice was decently portioned. Everything was definitely tasty. Not one complaint of any of the meals. We did not wait long for the food. Bathrooms were nice and clean. I want to come back to try more things in the menu that's how good the food was and our group agreed to also come back with us. This spot is definitely a place to try. They have a beautiful quote right near the bar that really spoke to us, especially during these times it said "you are exactly where you need to be." It makes you stop for a second and really take it in and just live in the moment ... especially living in New York, where you have to be always go go go fast fast fast. This was really beautifully written thank you to the staff who made our night and our friend's birthday special we'll see you soon.

It's not just one place either, there are several pizzerias throughout the borough that serve quality, NY style pizza that can't be beat. Over the years, I have naturally gravitated towards a select few spots due to their location - Addeo's is one of them. Addeo's has a rich history in the Bronx - at its heart, it's a bakery that specializes in bread. They also have two pizzerias/Italian restaurants - one on the west side and one here in Morris Park. The latter is relatively new compared so its other businesses, having opened in the last 6 years or so. I'm not exaggerating when I say that it's some of the best pizza I've had. New York at it's finest with fresh ingredients and that signature Addeo's bread used for the crust - it's everything you want in a slice. In addition to classic thin crust, they also make grandma pies, rolls, and calzones. Outside of pizza, they have several apps, soups, sandwiches, and entrees; one of my favorites is the grilled chicken and broccoli rabe sandwich with fresh melted mozz mmmm. While pizza will forever be a hot topic with New Yorkers, I will gladly throw Addeo's into the discussion of best pizza in the Bronx and NYC at large. It's well worth trying out and will forever be my go-to pizzeria.

There was barely any meat or filling--mostly just a garlic bread roll, which was disappointing. On top of that, the service wasn't great.

Another visit to Trattoria Zero Otto Nove, because some traditions are non-negotiable…read more Ms. J. and I do the New York Botanical Garden first and then reward ourselves properly with pasta. As one should. I ordered the Pasta al Forno, which showed up hot, cheesy, and very much not interested in being subtle. Comfort food doing the absolute most -- baked, sauced, and bubbling like it knew it was the right choice. One would think "Boiled eggs in pasta?", but trust me, the bechamel sauce takes it to the next level. Ms. J. went for the daily special: Radiatori in Cartoccio, cooked inside a sealed pocket of aluminum foil and opened tableside like a little pasta reveal. Steamy, aromatic, and frankly a bit of a showoff -- in the best possible way. And then there was the Tiramisu. We shared it (heroically), and I'm just going to say it: top-tier tiramisu. Not too sweet, beautifully balanced, rich without being heavy -- one of the best we've had in NYC, and we do not make that claim lightly. We both love tiramisu. We both judge tiramisu. This one passed with stars. Zero nonsense, big flavors, and a tradition that continues to age very well. We'll be back. Obviously. ‍

Lena Trattoria  has revamped their menu for the spring, and I had to stop in to try some of the new…read moredishes. There are tons of new additions, and I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest. A lot of the new items lean toward seafood, while others feature familiar proteins paired with fresh, updated sides. Kudos to the Lena's team for keeping things exciting while staying true to the vibe. Here's what I tried: Korean short ribs- Pickled Radishes, Spring Onions Jonah Crab Lettuce Wraps- Boston Lettuce, Housemade Remoulade Tartare, Chives New Mussels Dish- Pepperoncini, Chorizo, Prosecco, Saffron Tomato Broth, Sourdough Croutons Octopus- Patatas Bravas, Kalamata Olives, Salsa Verde, Paprika The short ribs were excellent. They're tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The pickled radish cuts through the richness of the marinade and really brings the dish together. A great, shareable plate that feels perfect for the warmer months. The crab lettuce wraps were incredibly light and fresh. Honestly, if I had my eyes closed, I'd think I was sitting somewhere on a beach. Bright, clean flavors along the sweet crab, perfection. The new mussels were outstanding. The chorizo and pepperoncini add depth and a little kick to that saffron tomato broth, and everything works beautifully together. The mussels were plump and perfectly cooked. I like that they still offer the classic white wine version, but this one feels like a great elevated option. The octopus was good, though not the best I've had. The flavors and accompaniments were really strong, but I personally prefer a more tender texture. It could have used a bit more time to get to that fork-tender consistency with a nice char on the outside. That said, I'd still order it again. This was just round one of trying the new menu, and I already have my next visit planned: the brick oven-roasted whole branzino and the tomahawk pork chop with roasted pepper pizzaiola sauce.
