Antonios Trattoria in the Arthur Ave section of The Bronx was absolutely wonderful. The staff…read morecouldn't have been more friendly, professional, or accommodating. We chose this spot for a family reunion, and they made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we walked in. The food was incredible. I had the Pork Chop Scarparo--perfectly cooked and full of amazing flavor. The pasta was spot‑on too and cooked just right. I had the garlic and oil side dish which was simple but delicious. There are plenty of great places in the area, but Antonios definitely deserves a spot on your list. It made our family gathering feel special, and the meal was unforgettable.

THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ Fried Calamari - Very crispy and as you would expect of any good fried calamari appetizer. Came with a small bowl of marinara. + Baked Clams Oreganata - LOTS of flavor. It was savory with the herb- and garlic-infused breadcrumb mixture and baked perfectly. + Chicken Marsala - 2 pieces of flattened and tender sauteed chicken breast with sliced mushrooms all around. Chicken was drowning in a suppppper delicious marsala wine sauce. Unfortunately, it was not served with any pasta to soak up the sauce. + Fruitti Di Mare - LOTS of delicious seafood - clams, mussels, calamari, shrimp - in marinara sauce. All of the seafood sat on a bed of spaghetti. + Kids' Spaghetti and Meatball - Solid spaghetti and meatball and what you would expect for a kid portion. + Kids' Chicken Parm with Ziti - DELICIOUS parm and sauce. One can argue that this was actually enough of a portion for an adult! + Nutella Pizza - Soooooo gooood. Super warm, thin, savory, a little sweet. Honestly, the best part of our meal. + Menu was traditional Italian and had a lotttttt of delicious foods that we wanted to try, but we only had so much space. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Food came out pretty quickly. - Waiters didn't give us much attention and when we were handed the bill, the waiter just kind of dropped it on the table and walked on, which was strange. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + 2 adjacent dining rooms. Main dining room includes a bar and TVs, while the 2nd dining room is more spacious. = Entire bar area was filled with diners and folks watching college football. - Street parking only and can be challenging to find a good spot during weekend dinner hours. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Walked in with a party of 8 at 5:30 PM on an Autumn Saturday evening and were accommodated with a table immediately. = Was pretty crowded on a Saturday evening and there was a wait for some folks who arrived around 6-7 PM, but no wait before 6 PM.

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!

The weather was great, so you could choose to sit inside or out; we chose indoors. Even though our waitress was busy, she was still attentive and friendly.

The staff were welcoming and the bar area seemed pretty popular. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area again.

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.

Clams oregata: they were ok, not the best i had and not the worst. Fruta di mare: again, this was only ok. The shrimps were pretty big which was good, calamari was cooked ok. But the sauce itself wasn't all that, there wasn't much flavor to it. It was pretty boring. Prices: definitely more on the expensive side Overall: May come here if my family pressures me to, but won't really go back on my own, the price for the food is not really worth it.

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.
