I was leaving Borgatti's ravoli and asked: I just passed Tra di Noi, Nice place? Oh yes, they make everything homemade. It's wonderful. That's all I needed to hear. I wasn't going to eat dinner at Yankee stadium, I'm in "The Bronx" so I head over to Arthur Avenue. Walking inside Tra di Noi, its like stepping back into the restaurants of my childhood. Red Table clothes and a chalk blackboard with all the specials listed front and center. At the corner table I see chef/owner Marco Coletta. He's sitting and just watching the operation. I see someone walked up and gave him two huge tomatoes?? I scan the menu but I know what I want, the lasagna bolognese. I also ordered a glass of Montepulciano wine. Everything comes to the table quickly. Look at my picture, I can see in the Ragu's soffritto the finely chopped carrots. It's the perfect meat sauce covered in delicate pasta sheets. Just a simple, homemade lasagna. No need to get fancy with truffle toppings. I would have liked to sample their bread basket but it was never brought to my table. Dessert, I was starting to get stuffed so I had to pass. I read about the cheesecake online, which Marco makes fresh several times a week. Next time. Last night, I enjoyed the Italian homemade cooking from Tra di Noi. read more

Trattoria Tra di Noi - Lasagna Alla Bolognese - Italian Near Me - Bronx, New York

A Bronx Gem! Trattoria Tra Di Noi is an absolute must if you love authentic Italian food done right. From start to finish, everything was outstanding. We kicked things off with the fried calamari and baked clams -- both were perfection. The calamari was crispy and tender, not greasy at all, and the clams were packed with flavor. For our entrées, we had the linguine with clams, which was spot-on -- perfectly al dente pasta swimming in a garlicky, briny sauce that you just want to sop up with bread. We also tried two specials: the Bracciola Pennete and the Poussin Sausage Scarpariello. Both were incredible -- rich, hearty, and full of that homemade Italian love you can't fake. We finished with their homemade Italian cheesecake, and wow... easily one of the best I've ever had -- light, creamy, and the perfect end to an amazing meal. The service was warm and welcoming, the atmosphere cozy and old-school in the best way. It genuinely feels like you're eating at someone's Italian home. Can't wait to go back -- this place is the real deal! read more

Appetizer of clams posillipo in white sauce excellent as was fried calamari. Entree of veal was great - pounded thin and very tender. Introduced us to a new Malbec that was delicious and very hearty. Service excellent. We were there Feb 12 and will return for sure. read more

Our waiter was lovely. We got a table quickly. However. We ordered the tuna from the chalkboard special, rare. It came out well done. So we sent it back. The chef came out of the kitchen and yelled at us for wasting food in front of our entire party and the whole restaurant, screaming that he cooked it perfectly and we don't know what medium is. When we said that we didn't order it medium, he flipped out even more. Our waiter apologized profusely for something that wasn't his fault. The rest of the food was fine but not worth this. Go elsewhere. There are a million options nearby. Be treated like a human and not like a punching bag by a cranky old man. read more

I haven't been here in years but was happy to be here on a Tuesday night. It's a small restaurant with about 15 tables with checkered tablecloths. We ordered a cold antipasto and fried calamari to start us off. My nephew and myself ordered a beer and his gf ordered wine.My nephew ordered veal with mushrooms from the menu. His gf ordered from the special list which was Sole Francaise. I also had a special, Veal Chop Capriciossa which is pounded veal coated with a batter and coupled with salad. The food was fantastic, the service was pleasant and professional. Will not wait years to come back. Sal E New Rochelle read more

Food is good not great .....portions are smaller than what I am used to from near by restaurants. I did not order a bottle of Pellegrino and when we sat I didn't realize the bus boy had taken it upon himself to fill our glasses with pellegrino and i never realized the bottle was on the table out of sight ...until i got the check and saw a 12 dollar charge ...this was sneaky and shady because when i told the waiter i never ordered this his response was you shouldnt have drank it ....I didnt i drank what the bus boy poured never knew the bottle was on the table !!! bottom line i was charged for something i didn"t order ...of course it came off his tip ...sneaky and shady read more

We have come for lunch several times. Food is very good but has become quite expensive . Careful to order table wine which is $14 per glass! The specials have no prices so Linguine with shrimp $32 and the smallest filet of sole $35. Lunch cost $138 before gratuity. While the food is very good it was not delicious, and sadly not worth the money. Service is blah! read more

This might have been THE most welcoming restaurant I have ever had the pleasure of visiting in my 11+ years in NYC. They really did capture the warm, welcoming cultural vibe of southern Italy. At first, I had a reservation to come here after a Yankees game, which I unfortunately had to cancel once the game was delayed for 2 hours due to rain. Once the game was over, I called to see if they could still get us in (a party of 5), which is tough on a Saturday night. I'm happy to say that they were able to seat us after only a 10 minute wait and an hour before the kitchen closed. I'm so glad they did! The entire staff is warm, welcoming, helpful, and cheerful. Cheers to Todd and the whole team. The FOOD! Wow. I just got back from 10 days in Italy and this took me right back. I tried the lasagna bolognese, the pasta a la matriciana, and the veal scallopine. All were fantastic!!! The wine and espresso were great as well. The ambiance - a convivial, family vibe. Think red and white checkered table cloths, but you're in someone's home in Italy. All the patrons seemed to be enjoying themselves and had a great time. At one point, they put the Italian happy birthday song on the central speaker system and brought a cake to one of the patrons - this is something that actually happened to me in Italy as well!! The whole experience was very authentic. This will most certainly become a post-game staple for us. I can't wait to come back! Especially to try the long list of delicious looking specials they had, but we were too late to try. Grazie mille per tutto!!! read more

My brother graduated from college the other day, and before planning a large party with extended family this summer, we thought it would be nice to have a small dinner with just close family to celebrate the occasion. My brother wanted to eat on Arthur Ave, and ultimately chose here at Tra di Noi. I've been to a few restaurants in the neighborhood but this one escaped me, so I was excited to check it out. Tra di Noi doesn't sit on Arthur Ave proper, but rather on E 187th St which also contains a number of hot spots frequented by locals and tourists. Walking in, you're immediately greeted by the dining area; it's not a large restaurant - there are maybe 10 to 15 tables with a bar towards the back. The decor is simple - a muted red covers the walls with touches of Italian flair throughout. They don't have a large menu, but they have an extensive list of specials so there's really a good variety to choose from. They have a few items that are out of the box, but the majority is straight-to-the-point Italian. I decided to start with a burrata - they were very generous and provided two mozz balls with the app, and paired with basil, roasted red peppers, and tomato which worked really well. I heard they were best known for their pork chop, but I was feeling pasta so I went with their gnocchi special. This was prepared simply with marinara sauce and basil which worked perfectly. The sauce was good and the gnocchi were pillowy soft. Since it was a special occasion we ordered dessert; I chose the limoncello gelato which was pretty good. I could tell they don't make their desserts on site, which is pretty common. Service was excellent, our server and the management team were extremely hospitable - always making sure we were being taken care of. The food also came out at a good pace which I appreciated. Overall, I had a great experience at Tra di Noi. This may not be the first restaurant people think of when it comes to Arthur Ave eateries, however they serve good, fresh Italian food with great service. I would have no qualms returning for another meal. read more

Went here today for dinner with some friends. It was an okay experience. It's an intimate restaurant, that is giving cozy and traditional Italian family vibes. There was one server taking orders and another worker who was running around flustered. For drinks, we tried the house white and the 175ml bottle of Rose Regale. The Rose was very sweet but I enjoyed it. The house white was smooth upon initial taste; but the more my friend drank, she realized it was too acidic and even had to water it down- she couldn't drink it. The bread that came out was half hot and half cold. For apps we did the clams and the calamari. These were the best part of our meal. But maybe it was because we were really hungry at this point. I ordered the lasagna which I was told was the best thing on the menu. While I did finish my plate, my friends and I agreed it tasted like Chef Boyardee. Not worth having in a restaurant. My friend asked between two dishes and the server told her the Halibut was excellent and it was on the specials for the day. My friend paid $40 for a dry, sauceless, bland fish that was covered in way too many bread crumbs. The worst thing about our experience, the second we ordered our server, an older blonde woman, never came back to our table once to check in. It did take us some time to decide on our mains and she seemed annoyed with us. All in all, unless it's really convenient for you and you are incredibly hungry, this is not worth the visit. read more

Was looking for a good Italian meal but The food was bland and dry. Service was mediocre and defensive. The place smelled like cigarettes the server blamed candles....Some chef was rolling rice balls with no gloves at a table. They only serve wine and one beer! Do not bother! Very disappointed! read more

Came here years ago and forgot to review the spot. After a day at the Bronx Zoo, I decided to rectify that post-lunch here. The Clams Oreganate are a delicious must to kickstart your meal. The Shrimp Fradiaviolo Linguine is everything you want when it comes to "shraaaamp" (The Good Place, anyone?) + red sauce + long noodz. And the hearty Lasagna alla Bolognese was on point for flavor, though the portion could've been bigger. All in all, a solid choice if you're craving classic Italian-American red sauce/checkerboard tablecloth food. read more

Outstanding classic Italian cooking. The excellent Italian ingredients available in the area are prepared perfectly. I tend to order the fish because they do it consistently wel The service is attentive and friendly, but never casual. A warmly welcoming environment, the room as well as the host and servers. Small, cozy and friendly. My family and I have eaten there for over fifteen years, and never failed to enjoy. read more

We usually have a good experience here but yesterday left a bad taste in our mouths. We were shopping on Arthur Ave and stopped here for lunch. We have been here a few times before and always enjoyed our food. We were a bit pressed for time and not very hungry so we wanted to order a couple of appetizers and split a salad for 2 that was on the menu. When we placed our order or tried to at least the waitress questioned the fact that we weren't ordering entrees. She went on to say the owner/chef would not accept an order without entrees on it . We asked to share the salad and 1 entree. That didn't satisfy her either. She said the entrees won't cost you much more. Um, not the point. We weren't that hungry and we just wanted a quick bite. So we ordered 2 entrees and nothing else. No appetizers, no salad, no coffee or dessert. I wound up taking half of mine home. Trust and believe that if we had the time to go walk around to go somewhere else we would have gotten up and left. I don't think any restaurant should be able to dictate what you can and cannot order. Not sure if we will ever go back. Other restaurants I would prefer to give my money too. In this environment restaurants should be happy for all business. read more

Came here during an off hours time. The place was pretty empty and there were two servers working at the time. We weren't that hungry so we ordered a chicken parm to share. The server was visibly annoyed. He asked how many beer and wine cups we wanted and when we said we were just going to have water he just grunted. At the end we left some food on the plate and the server was like don't forget to eat that. I felt like the service was just so rude. Service was just awful. Chicken Parm felt like it was jarred sauce. It was ok but for Arthur Avenue this just wasn't up to standard. Would not recommend coming here at all. read more

Entrees were wonderfully prepared. Warm, inviting environment and friendly staff. Great variety, will definitely be back.

Terrible service. Extremely small portio s and limited menu. Had the nerve to extra upcharge charge ten dollars for two forkfuls of spaghetti to go with pork chop. Insulting small. Wanted to charge $37 dollars to do a chicken franchaise on a linguini. The gall to charge 10 dollars more to put a ten dollars charge on linguini under a Franchaise. Lasagna Portion I measured at 2" length by 2" width. Insulting. Owner would not add even a bit more to make it acceptable. Total insult and the food we had tasted like cheap garbage. Avoid this scam unless you want to leave feeling unsatisfied. The other restaurants on the block are far better choices. Avoid. read more

Fun family restaurant. Friendly staff and great food! I have been eating here for years.

The food here is so. Damn. Good. No, you don't understand... the food here is incredible. This is food you commune with. This is don't talk to me while I'm eating food. This is I miss my Nonno food. It is hard to get a bad meal on Arthur Ave but Tra di Noi is one of the best. It is a small and very popular place so large parties might be tough and a reservation would be advisable during dinner time. A friend and I snuck in for a late lunch on a weekday and were able to get a table no problem but it was definitely getting busy as we were wrapping up. Our waiter was also an absolute doll and very knowledgable about the menu and the wine list. I can't wait to come back! read more

Solid place well worth checking out. They are nice people, serve great food, and overall, it is a very enjoyable experience. This became our "go to" place in the area a few years ago as some of the older, well known places weren't as good as they used to be. Their Sea food salad is fresh and delicious, Clams oregenata are delicious and their Pork Chop has become one of their signature dishes. Delicious pastas especially the Lasagne. The Italian Cheesecake will not disappoint. read more

Don't let the worn down uninspiring decor fool you. The place has delicious authentic Italian food and friendly service! The chef hails from Rome. They get their fresh pasta from Borgottis right next store. Love that they keep it local. Their blackboard specials are plentiful and changes often.

I discovered Tra di Noi in 2003. I was a first year teacher in a nearby school and looking for a place to blow off some steam on a Friday. In that year Marco (owner/chef) and Matilda (waitress extraordinaire) provided me the oasis I needed at the end of the week to survive my first year of teaching. I even brought my entire 6th grade class there once for lunch! Now 19 years later I am still frequenting. The food, the service, the atmosphere, the people all make this one of Little Italy's absolute best. Love this place. read more

Trattoria Tra di Noi - Italian Near Me - Bronx, New York

This place was horrific in many ways. It was very expensive for the amount of food they serve you. To start they give you "ONE" piece of bread per person and if you dare to request more they charge. It was three of us and only gave us 3 slices of cold bread which is fine, but when finally our food came out and I asked for a little more bread the rude waitress said there a charge. I asked the bus boy twice and he kept saying yes yes with nothing ever happening. The food is very expensive and you don't even get pasta with the chicken Parmesan which had a terrible tomato sauce on top. This dish was not worth $25 at all. Come on!! Pasta is cheap and so is bread can't make your meals better. Not worth the $130 bill for 3 people and no extra bread, no pasta. That an expensive lunch bill and we didn't even have any drinks. The waitress never came to see how was everything, she was totally dismissive and just sitting with the owner on a different table. Not a good Italian restaurant at all. Rude and cheap people. Will never have my business again. read more

Outstanding service, cute decor, checkerboard tablecloths, flowers. Very good eggplant rollatini appetizer special. My friend and I both ordered veal dishes, she had veal marsala with mushrooms and I had veal parmesan. Honestly, I didn't like the veal parmesan at all, it looked and tasted like a frozen dinner, the breading was thicker than the veal. My friend however, was raving about her dish, she said it was the best she ever tasted on Arthur Ave. They included sides of escarole with garlic, and roasted potatoes. The escarole was delicious. So, a somewhat uneven meal. I will have to go back in the future and try another entree. read more

Got sick after eating clams with pasta after I left. I'm not allergic to clams. Small portions served and limited menu options. Staff was rude upon entering, but perhaps due to not having a reservation. Not a warm atmosphere in general. I don't recommend coming here. read more

First time visit for myself to Arthur avenue, second for my wife, so I was very excited and picked out this place as it seems to be Michelin rated and popular. We were kind of underwhelmed with our lunch. My wife had lasagna which was a fairly small portion for the price and frankly nothing special. It was also weirdly made with what tasted like béchamel, a little unexpected. We prefer the lasagna at other places, Il Fresco in Orangeburg chief among them, always a great meal there and so quaintly beautiful. I had Rigatoni alla Matriciana which came recommended by our waiter and reviews. Again, it was really pretty basic, not the expected OMG, suffice is to say, I would never order either of these dishes again and if I'm being honest, I would neither recommend nor return here. The prices in general all throughout the area seemed way out of line compared to my experiences in Manhattan's Little Italy. Come on, it's the Bronx! We did take home some really great made on the premises sweet Italian sausage at Arthur Ave. Retail Market, and also visited a fantastic pastry shop and had world class great slices at Full Moon Pizza!! A great day actually. read more
