Sonny's Broiled Combo for 2
Nickey L.

After lucking out on a rainy Father's Day fishing trip, we decided to get a consolation seafood meal. JP's photos look good so we went for it. We were the first customers through the door at 11am. Service was very friendly and we were seated with a nice view of the water. Being up at 4am we were starving so we went with the broiled combo for two. This came with lobster tails, fish, scallop, shrimp and baked clams. The clams were amazing. The set ran for 165$. It was a lot more food than anticipated. Food was great and the beer was cold, we would definitely return to try the other a la carte items.

Flounder Stuffed with Crabmeat Stuffing

I arrived at JP's around 3PM on a Thursday, and it felt like I had the whole restaurant to myself--a peaceful pocket of old-school charm. My waitress Maureen greeted me right away with a bright smile and genuine warmth. She was not only friendly but very knowledgeable about the menu. I told her I wasn't in the mood for anything fried, and without hesitation, she recommended the flounder stuffed with fresh crab meat. She mentioned the stuffing was made in-house--and that sold me. I went with her suggestion, and let me tell you--I'm so glad I did. The dish arrived hot, fresh, and bursting with flavor. It took me nearly an hour to savor every bite, and when I finally finished, my plate was clean. Easily one of the best seafood dishes I've had in a long time. JP's is a true classic. You can feel the history in the décor--it's not your average restaurant. While you dine, you're treated to a soundtrack of timeless hits from the '60s and '70s, paired with a lovely view. The whole vibe is nostalgic, cozy, and unpretentious. Now yes--it's priced higher than most, but hear me clearly: you're paying for quality. This is flavor done right, not rushed. And honestly? Quality over quantity any day. And don't forget--tip your waitress. Folks like Maureen are what make places like JP's unforgettable.

Whole lobster
Ameil S.

Always a good time at JPs. A great quiet spot off the beaten path on City Island. It's been a favorite for many years - the food is consistently tasty. To start that warm garlic bread is yummy - today we shared the seasoned broiled whole lobster and fried Shrimp combo - paired with yellow rice- stuffed baked potato- Caesar & Italian salads - hot green teas - all was delicious! Service was terrific

I've been to this restaurant a few years back but wanted to check it out again on a Friday night. We were welcomed by the owner who was very attentive and nice. Our waitress came to us very quickly and took our drink order. The menu has a lot of options so you may need to time to order but the food was worth every penny. I just ate the rest today.. large portion and let me tell you my drink ?!!! Was amazing baby!! I felt a little buz buz! Definitely worth the $20. I had a blue margarita and my company had a Long Island! I enjoyed it and I just want to add.. Check out a place for yourself! I've been here twice and I don't have any complaints.

This has been my #1 spot on City Island since I was a kid. J, the owner, is always hospitable, and the food is fantastic. Whenever I'm on City Island, I always come here. You won't find another spot with fresh and delicious food on the island like JPs.

Pitcher red sangria
Mimi H.

Had the pleasure of visiting this place again for my birthday today. Very very great food. I must say the food was great. I tried something new today which was the fried scallops and the fried lobster tail and the fried shrimp which came with yellow rice and a salad. My partner had flounder with linguine with red sauce. The food was wonderful. The waitress was great too. The lady name is Maddie. Mr. John the owner treated us very well and took great care of us. The ambiance is always amazing. Very nice decor and wonderful music. I love to come here for the king crab legs. Those are always wonderful also. I just like the food here...I look forward to visiting JP's again. Happy eating. Last but not least the red sangria is the bomb dot com.

Strawberry Pina Colada

Okay of all the years I've done City Island I have somehow missed this Gem which was on point the staff and owner John were super attentive (in part due to my friend being a regular). The portions were more than enuff and the cocktails were nice and strong. And sadly due to great convo a couple of drinks in didn't gets pics of my seafood platter shared with my girl pal. Sonny's Broiled Combo For 2 Shrimps, flounder, scallops, baked clams, and 2 large lobster tails served with a potato (for me) and rice (for my girl) 2 salads and peas (which the menu as a whole could do without). I will definitely be going back and get pics of my food . Sidenote: Even on a rainy day the views were sweet.

A friend recommended it and I never heard of it on city island, owner John recommended dishes and it was great . Melissa beautiful server

Disorganized, misleading, and poorly managed…read more Ordered takeout from Michelangelo's Woodfire Grill through Slice at 6:45 PM with a promised pickup time of 7:02 PM. My husband arrived at 7:04 PM. The food was not ready. He was repeatedly told vague timelines ("a little while," then 7:15 PM), none of which were accurate. The manager disappeared into the kitchen, leaving him waiting with no updates. By 7:48 PM, after over 40 minutes, he left without the food. During that wait, other customers were seated, served, finished their meals, paid, and left -- all while two simple sandwiches could not be produced. I spoke directly with the manager twice. Instead of taking responsibility, he argued about the pickup time, minimized the delay, and only offered excuses and after-the-fact store credit. No proactive communication. No apology. No basic follow-through. Delays happen. This level of disorganization and lack of accountability is unacceptable. Order takeout elsewhere if you value your time.

Classic Italian comfort with a neighborhood feel!!!!!…read more Enzo's of Williamsbridge delivers a satisfying Italian dining experience with generous portions and comforting, familiar flavors. The food was well-prepared and hearty, especially the pasta dishes, which tasted fresh and filling. Some items stood out more than others, but overall quality was solid. The atmosphere has a warm, old-school neighborhood vibe that makes it feel welcoming and relaxed. Service was friendly and attentive, though it slowed slightly during peak hours. Overall, Enzo's of Williamsbridge is a dependable spot for classic Italian food. With a bit more consistency and quicker service at busy times, it could easily reach a five-star level.

I also took home a side order of escarole, sauteed in olive oil and garlic, and grated Parmesan on the side. The Chicken Scarpariello ($37 w/option ) is great and quite filling. The Chicken is coming from the thighs as best I can determine and is chopped up with a few bones that can be handled with a knife and fork. I would definitely order this always on the bone for flavor. You have the boneless option, but go with the bone. The cherry hot peppers add a definitive kick, above Fra Diavolo level, but nothing anyone cannot handle. The sausage was overcooked, but the potatoes were spot on. The red sauce, ziti and Parmesan calmed the moderate heat down if anyone is concerned. The escarole was a good accompaniment, but the spice level overwhelmed the wine with this dish. By the way, I can now confirm this $48 Montepulciano is of the Sangiovese varietal from Montepulciano D.O.C. The Chicken Scarpariello with the added option is also a more fulfilling meal than the Veal Martini and I can understand why it is a leading dish on the menu at Enzo's. I find it to be equally good too, so no downgrade in the rating. It highlights the consistency of the dishes served by the kitchen with steady chefs over the years. Marcello, my server, told no lies. The Double Cut Pork Chop ($33) was a bit more satisfying and delicious. It's thick, about two inches or more thick. They trimmed most of the fat, but left enough for added flavor. Notice the darkened color of the fat trim that has been seared and caramelized. Yum! The thick chop is cooked all the way through, but it's not tough or challenging to cut. It's still juicy and somewhat tender inside, with the added juice and flavor of the sauce. Over the escarole and pasta with garlic and dusted with Parmesan for that pop, your palate is in for a most satisfying experience. The Double Cut Pork Chop is one of those dishes that will keep people coming to Enzo's. It also paired better with the wine, given the heat from the hot cherry peppers was less pronounced and not overwhelming for the relatively low tannin and low acidity wine. I have had Sangiovese that drink a lot bigger and don't even mention the Brunellos. Enzo's of Williamsbridge is not overcharging in my opinion. They could have increased prices more on account of inflation, but they have not. Their loyal patrons would balk of they did. The dishes on the menu generally range from the high twenties to high thirties for generous servings. Wines by the bottle are reasonably priced and I can see why one would take your family here or take someone on a date here with the quality and value proposition served up consistently since 1998. Enzo's is a go to restaurant for many loyal patrons. I would and will return easily and can give Enzo's high marks. Just seat me inside the main dining room next time please. 4.0 very solid and consistent stars!

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.
