The restaurant interior features multiple tables with white tablecloths, each set with silverware, glasses, and napkins. Black chairs surround the tables, and the room has a decorative ceiling with patterned tiles. In the background, there is a counter area with bottles and a colorful wall display, and a small window with a blue-lit view beyond. The lighting is warm and ambient, creating a formal dining atmosphere.

Amazing service, the server was super attentive. The food was fresh made to order. The imported olive oil was to die for amazing. The bread paired amazing. Great drink selection. The ambiance was so lovely all the tables dressed; Each draped in cloth table settings. The dress code is business casual. Will be returning soon. Thanks for the excellent service.

Chicken Parmigiana
Richard M.

Happy Holidays everybody. I find myself and my friends at Pasquale Rigoletto. The chicken parm was delicious, the bread crumbs had that authentic Italian taste. The chicken franchise was delicious and satisfying. And for you traditional Italians, I hade the tripe which was cooked to perfection followed by a light sweet tomato sauce. (I could eat it by the spoon) I am highly recommending this restaurant if you're ever on Author Ave. in the Bronx, New York.

Mozz in carrozza
Dona F.

This restaurant came recommended because it was good but more importantly it has a parking lot!!!!!! One of the few that does have parking plus we left the car there for a short time to walk around to shop Baked clams - superb- crunchy top Mozz in careozza - amazing nice thick pieces Chicken scarpariello very tasty. Tender chunks of chicken Brocolli rabe- eh. Mine is better. Too bitter and a bit undercooked Table bread was good Clean bathrooms Very knowledgeable waiter who's been there for many years.

Classic Arthur Avenue Italian restaurant. Great classic food and excellent service. We all enjoyed our food : gnocchis, braciole, spaghetti, hot peppers, baked clams. Parking behind restaurant with rear entrance.

Vodka Penne Vodka with Shrimp, Fettucine Alfredo, Fettucine Fettuccine Bolognese
Erika T.

What they did well: - fettuccine alfredo (which is not on the menu, but they will make for you) - the seasoned staff were friendly and social - clean restroom - parking Where they missed the mark: - service from the younger servers was adequate at best - food was inconsistent, specifically the penne was over cooked, the shrimp was over cooked, the vodka sauce was bland - the young lady clearing dishes legit reached in front of my face as I was taking a bite to clear a dish in the middle of the table TWICE - the bread was generic and the butter was ice cold so it tore the bread instead of spreading - the Coke was flat It wasn't as good as it was 9 years ago when last we were here, but the alfredo was as delicious as ever. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but I would get the alfredo again in a heartbeat if I was in the area. I should note I'm not a fan of alfredo in general so for me to give it rave reviews should indicate how good it is. 10/10 for that sauce.

Fried Calamari
Caroline S.

Pasta is cooked perfectly, calamari is fried and battered perfectly, and the carbonara is *chefs kiss*. Definitely worth checking this place out.

Quite the way to start! - The image shows a bar counter with a partially eaten piece of bread on a white plate, a glass of beer, and a green Peroni beer bottle. There are containers of olives, cheese, and spreads on the counter. In the background, there are shelves with various bottles of alcohol, including wine and spirits, and a small refrigerator. The setting appears to be a casual bar or restaurant environment.

All I knew was I was going to grab lunch somewhere on Arthur Avenue. I knew there were plenty of great options, but other than that I was just going to wander. Thankful for how things work out. I got to speaking to a gentleman named Phil at the Farmer's Market, and he recommended Pasquale Rigoletto for a truly old school Bronx Italian dining experience. He worked at the establishment and had been dining there himself since he was a little boy. I decided to take him up on his recommendation, not knowing any better, and man, am I glad I did! The ambiance is old school classic Bronx/NY Italian, as promised, and I was all in. Signed pictures of NY and other celebs at the restaurant hang proudly around the bar, and Frank, Dean and Bobby Darin all crooned as I dined. Just as it should be. I sat at the bar, as it was mid afternoon on a summer Thursday, and was quickly brought a beautiful basket of freshly baked, warm bread with olive oil, balsamic, crumbled sharp cheese and flavorful peppers. This alone would have a feast. I started with one of the appetizer specials, breaded mozzarella and prosciutto fried with a caper tapenade - a triumph. Really unique and perfect. For my entree in went with Phil's recommendation, and stayed on the special menu. The Rigatoni Arrabbiate was beyond perfect. I can't remember the last time I had such a delicious bowl of pasta. I was stuffed beyond belief, but had to try a sliver of the homemade ricotta cheesecake, and it was pillowy, flavorful and perfect. What a meal, what a feast. Thank you Phil for advocating for your establishment and to the entire team for a meal I will likely never forget. Can't wait to go back.

So true!!!

See all

I scheduled a repass for my dad for last Saturday at Kismet. I did so, about 3 weeks prior and were in constant contact with the staff and Devin. I was renting venue only and did not require food, however I inquired of services they offer, so 3 servers were added. when I asked about parking, he told me there was a parking lot across the street, but that they do valet, whereby the guests would not have to pay individually to park, so I added this service also. I made him aware from initial contact, that I saw his space on PEERSPACE and that I do not live in NY. when I initially spoke to him, he quoted $200 more than what the exact dates and services were listed for on PEERSPACE, when i asked why, he stated that the site isn't updated and something about cleaning fee. I told him that the quote calculated on PEERSPACE included the cleaning fee and taxes. I agreed to the increase, because I still believed it was a good deal. I sent someone by the venue and went ahead to print materials bearing Kismet as the Repass Venue. I usually contact them by email and phone to ask questions or confirm things. After sending someone out, we noticed there was no parking lot across the street and that Valet parking was basically under the train line, so it wasn't anyplace in particular for parking. but I still kept that fee in place, because I saw it as less of a hassle for guests. where he decided to be nasty was when I asked him why the invoice still the 3 servers has, I had made him aware a few days prior to the final invoice being emailed that I would not need servers. we had volunteers. he started the run around, by having the ladies call me and email me back and forth with stalling conversations because I asked for him to give me a call. that call never came. the ladies were very customer friendly and warm... they were just going by his instructions. he later told them that he would remove 1 but kept 2 on the invoice. I wanted to talk with him to find out why I was being asked to pay extra money for 2 servers plus an additional $500 cleanup fee, which he told me was included, in the new higher price when we first spoke. less than 1 week before the funereal repass, this man refunded my deposit via CASHAPP without a phone call or an email. He never contact me to discuss why he was trying to overcharge me an additional $700. I would never do business with that kind of person. I was very fortunate that I was able to book Golden Palace Banquet Hall at last minute, which was up the street from Kismet, way more elegant, bigger, far better service and more affordable. I was very disappointed with the way KISMET treated me.

We had a fabulous lunch today at the Pine Restaurant and couldn't have been happier with the…read moreexperience. Our waiter, Ramon M., was exceptional--warm, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout. 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.

First of all they bring out this freshly baked loaf of warm bread with butter that's perfect to start with. Then I had a chicken and pasta dish that was so delicious. I keep going for the dish. It's that good. Amazing. And I finished off with their crème brûlée. The service was nothing short of stellar. The wait staff was attentive and accommodating. Didn't miss a beat. Very nice crew. The venue itself is beautiful. Very nice decor. Spacious, clean. Not obnoxious but still classy. I personally like sitting at the bar with the coolest Bar tender "Kel". Very nice fella. So if you're looking for a great spot for delicious Italian cuisine you should definitely hit the Pine! You won't be disappointed! Oh.. They have Valet parking too for your convenience. Alright yall! Have a great day now! -Ray
