It was my first visit to IVANA'S and Little Italy in The Bronx and I picked up one of their speciality heart shaped pepperoni pizzas IHO of Valentine's Day! The staff was so friendly and the pizza was warm and fresh. My kids absolutely loved it. They have the heart shaped pizza available all of Feb for pick up. Please support your local businesses!

Heart Pizza all February!

Best pizza I've had in the Bronx that gives me that old school feeling from when I was a kid! Pizza is a generous size.

An authentic Italian gem on Arthur Avenue…read more Zero Otto Nove was recommended to us by the owner of Titles Brothers, where I regularly go to buy Italian cold cuts and cheeses. It turned out to be one of the best recommendations we've received. My mom, my daughter, and I absolutely loved our experience. The food was outstanding, the wine was excellent, and every dish was full of authentic Italian flavor. We arrived about 30 minutes before closing, but the staff welcomed us with a smile and never made us feel rushed. Instead, they took the time to recommend some of their favorite dishes, and every suggestion was delicious. What made the evening even more special was how kind and attentive they were to my daughter. Their hospitality was exceptional and made us feel truly welcome. If you're visiting Arthur Avenue and looking for authentic Italian cuisine with outstanding service, Zero Otto Nove is a restaurant I highly recommend. Great food, excellent wine, warm hospitality, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer. We'll definitely be coming back!

Beautiful evening for a special occasion. The service was impeccable, the food well prepared and…read moreplatted beautifully. The decor is pleasant with subdued lighting and soft music. Perfect for a date night or romantic dinner. We were a group of 12 celebrating a birthday. All of our various selections came out almost simultaneously. It is an establishment for a mature sophisticated crowd, it's not a Micky-D's atmosphere, where toddlers will become obstreperous and ruin the occasion for the entire dining room and the parents don't even make an attempt to intervene. Otherwise it would have been a 5 star review. Street parking only.

So a friend of mine has been telling about this spot called "Patricia's" since she knows I love…read moreItalian cuisine.. and so she invited me for dinner there and I must say.. As soon as I walked in I felt very much welcomed. The restaurant decor was beautiful! It was perfect. I don't know how many owners there are but one of them was very welcoming and passed by each table greeting guests. I thought that was a sign of professionalism.. Now for the food.. Man.. My friend and I enjoyed ourselves.. The food was amazingly delicious. I had the chicken Franchise with Angel Hair pasta.. Amazing! The complimentary bread was delicious too! Altogether the experience was awesome. We enjoyed our meal and time at Patricia's and will be back soon! So if you're looking for some terrific Italian food in the Morris Park area of the Bronx, you should definitely check out this spot, Patricia's.

We went with the pre dice menu that came w apps family style, soft drinks and we can choose from 3 entree choices. We weee a party of 16-17. Service was impeccable and everything was delicious. The space is cute and quaint and though we were going into the private dining room they put our party in the main room because the air condition was not functioning well. I think we all appreciated this detail. Though is what a Pugh occasion we really enjoyed ourselves and I know my mom was smiling down. I'll be back for sure! Thank you for the awesome service and attention to detail!!!

Was invited to my partner's grandma's 93rd birthday dinner here last weekend. The atmosphere felt…read morecozy and upscale without being overly formal, with a very authentic oldschool Italian vibe. Everything tasted fresh and well made. The warm bread was soft, fresh, and nicely herby with what tasted like oregano sprinkled on top. Portions were satisfying, flavors were rich without feeling too heavy, and the quality really stood out. We ordered sparkling water and a couple of cocktails. For appetizers we had the Polpettine Di Casa (homemade beef meatballs in pomodoro sauce) and the Portuguese octopus with fava beans, cannellini beans, onions, and apple vinegar dressing. Both were flavorful and well prepared. For entrées we ordered the Pappardelle alla Bolognese with homemade pasta and meat sauce, along with the New Zealand lamb chops over broccoli rabe and mashed potatoes. The pasta tasted fresh and authentic, and the lamb was tender and cooked as requested. Unfortunately, the night ended on a disappointing note because of the service. Mario was pleasant, but another server, I believe named Alex, overheard a conversation and became argumentative and sarcastic toward the birthday woman's son. It felt very unprofessional for the setting and completely changed the mood of the dinner, causing everyone to leave earlier than planned. The 93yr old woman was shaking. People should stay in their lane. Sadly, because of that interaction, I wouldn't return.

All aspects of this visit were spot on: Kind and caring service, excellent food quality, and good value. The pacing of the dinner was also right on- not too fast, not too slow- just right. Dinner starts with a green salad with house dressing and a selection of Italian breads. This is old school Italian service which seems to be going away. as many restaurants regrettably skip on the bread delivery these days. Everyone enjoyed their entrees- Chicken parm, Shrimp Parm, Penne Ala Vodka, Grilled chicken with Broccoli Rabe and the house specialty- shrimp and veal Fratelli- one of the better entrees I have had in a long while. The potato croquettes were a great accompaniment for this dish to enjoy the sauce/gravy. Dessert included perhaps the largest selection ever (a positive) was available along with pictures. The Italian cheesecake was also large and excellent. Hot expresso with anisette was served. The service team here is well trained and on their toes. I can't believe that I didn't know of this place sooner- a true neighborhood gem. They also seemed to be doing a robust take away business... The leadership team from the restaurant stopped by for hello as well. A case study in restaurant hospitality.
