This restaurant is towards the end of downtown Pelham and on the fancier side. No dress code to my…read moreknowledge, but I'd recommend getting a little spiffy for the occasion. There were a couple of steps up to the front entrance, so it's just a tiny bit tricky if you have a stroller or mobility issues. We came for dinner on a Friday night. Initially, it was quiet, but got packed and very lively by the time we left around 7:30. It did get a bit noisy as well. Reservations are definitely recommended. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and you can specify your preference when booking. To start, we shared the mozzarella e pomodoro. The burrata was nice and creamy, but the portion size was on the smaller side. I loved the insalada di pere. The pears and gorgonzola paired well together and the champagne vinaigrette gave it a pleasant sweetness. My family also enjoyed the calamaretti fritti. For my main, I had the risotto ai fungi porcini. It was a bit bland and dry. My husband was happy with the pork chops. The zuppa di pesce was a nice portion size with plenty of leftovers. They provide complimentary bread for the table. Service was excellent. Great for date night or a family meal.

It's always interesting to return to a place with history, and thankfully, the current experience holds up. The restaurant was moderately busy, but everything flowed smoothly. No waits, and the staff struck a great balance, attentive when needed, but giving us space to settle in and enjoy the company. Parking is easy with a free lot in the back, plus additional street options. The space is open with warm wood accents that give it a comfortable, inviting feel. We sat in the main dining room and started with the Hot Antipasto Deluxe, a generous spread perfect for the table. It didn't stop there, as they also brought out salad for everyone before the mains, a classic, welcoming touch. I ordered the pappardelle with chicken in a vodka sauce with a dollop of ricotta, rich and satisfying. Others enjoyed dishes like Chicken Piccata and Chicken Parmigiana. Portions were more than enough, and by dessert, shared chocolate lava cake and tartufo, we were completely full. A relaxed, accommodating spot that works especially well for groups. Definitely a place to linger and enjoy.

I stopped by today again with my mom after a doctor's appointment and running errands. It was around 230pm and very quiet inside we weren't sure if they were opened. However, service picked up shortly after we came in. My mom and i were given water and bread with olive oil. We ordered the margarita pizza which was cut into eight slices so we had four each. We also ordered two sodas. I love that it's brick oven pizza. Food totaled at $25 and we tipped the guy $8 since he was quick and attentive. Food was great and the restaurant is beautiful. Very clean even the restrooms. Can't wait to come back

What can I say! One of my all time favorite restaurants! Patricia's is located on Morris Park Ave…read more between Lurting & Haight Avenues in the Bronx. They specialize in delicious Italian food. The free appetizers of Pizza Slices & Sliced Bread with Olive Oil served before your meal are a meal in itself! The portions are large & satisfying. The Pastas are so good & the Lamb chops were tender & juicy. The desserts are good, with my favorite being the Tartufo (A chocolate shell filled with icecream & cherries & whipped cream with chocolate drizzle topping on the outside). The service is excellent & the staff is extremely friendly & accommodating. This place is always cheerful & busy & they play 70's music. On Birthdays they come to your table & sing loudly, Italian Style! The place is elegant, bright, clean & always happy. Great for large families & groups or a special dinner for two. They do take out & catering & there's always parking in the area. Manga!

I am delighted to announce that I have finally tried the neighborhood-famous short rib egg rolls. As much as I wanted to get another order to go, I decided to be nice and save them for others to try. Next time I am totally getting one to-go so that I can extend the magical experience. They run them as a special often since they're so popular, if they have them-- get them. Orrico had awesome specials going on but I was in the mood for comfort classics. They still uphold, in my opinion, the BEST chicken parm in the neighborhood. The chicken is not dried out, the texture is perfect and the sauce to cheese ratio is on point. We also ordered the sole franchese. That dish is so light, fresh and classic. Last but certainly not least, the short rib egg rolls are just so good. Fried perfectly but not oily, the tender shortrib, the awesome cheese pull, the rich brown gravy. Truly, a masterful creation. I always knew that service and food were great but what I didnt know was that they are also mixologist! Usually I would just get wine but every table around me were ordering martinis and they looked great so I ordered a classic dirty. Perfect amount of olive brine and nicely balanced. Everytime we go visit we leave with leftovers and I still have the feeling of looking forward to my next visit. In our neighborhood they are a diamond-- great establishment. Toniann you were a delight and I am happy to formally meet you.

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.

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.

His recommendation for my entrée was spot on. I had dined here once before for a busy Saturday night dinner, so it was especially nice to experience a quieter, more relaxed lunch this time around--a completely different vibe, but just as enjoyable. We skipped the complimentary bread and ordered the garlic bread instead--absolutely worth it. Warm, flavorful, and truly delicious. For appetizers, my husband had the arancini rice balls, while I ordered the artichoke hearts oreganato. Both were excellent--well-prepared, flavorful, and satisfying. For mains, I followed Ramon's suggestion and went with the sole Francese, paired with a side of linguine in garlic and oil. The fish was incredibly tender, fresh, and absolutely flavorful--cooked perfectly. In fact, as I'm writing this review, I'm still thinking about it and already looking forward to coming back to have it again. My husband's rigatoni filetto di pomodoro was equally impressive--simple, classic, and full of flavor. Even though we were completely full--and had leftovers to take home--we couldn't resist dessert. The tiramisu was the perfect ending: light, balanced, and just the right touch of sweetness. Great food, beautiful weather, and a relaxed atmosphere made for a perfect afternoon. A spot that's just as enjoyable for a lively dinner as it is for a relaxed lunch.
