Just spent several WONDERFUL hours in one of the most comfortable delicious restaurants I've been to in a long time. Not only was the food FANTASTIC but the staff were attentive, friendly and fun to deal with and Joe capped off the experience by making us feel welcome and like family. My pasta fazole, veal saltinboca were SPECTACULAR, my friends said their seafood appetizer was so good they almost didn't order a main course but when I suggested the chicken saltinboca and her husband had a fish dish that brought him memories of his childhood we knew this was truly a wonderful place that we'll have to go back to. And although this review is long I must admit I took home an order of chicken parm and two desserts (tiramisu and chocolate lava cake) it was a fantastic experience and I can't wait to go back.And the chocolate martinis are TERRIFICDietary restrictions: They adjusted the chicken saltinboca for someone who doesn't eat pork and it was still delicious.

TLDR: My fav restaurant by Arthur Avenue in the Bronx but service needs improvement. The prices are a bit higher here but worth it!The decor is dark at all hours and it's a big step up to get into the main entrance. Service today was especially not great. Our server disappeared for a long time and we needed to flag down another person to take our order and to get our check (which we needed to ask for twice from 2 people). But if you're not in a rush the food here is my favorite in this area! ?My friend and I ordered a large cup and char pepperoni pizza with added onions. The second server asked if we were sure we wanted large. Please don't judge my eating habits my friend! We also tried the Alfredo pasta and added chicken. It was a little bland and needed salt and pepper. Lasagna is amazing here too. The Aperol spritz was good. The white wine sangria was like 50% sour apples FYI. 1 single women's bathroom and 1 men's bathroom. I never have room for dessert so can't speak to that. Come for the food but bring your patience.
I had enjoy the food and atmosphere, but service at that place wasn’t at satisfied level. The waiter was not around and I have to wait. My friend and I decided to split a check but my friend agreed to pay a tip, restaurant owner did charge tip twice to y friend and me. My receipt clearly indicates line through, by its still charged.When I contacted the restaurant I was told we will look in to it.

Stopped in for a quick lunch with visitors to NYC. We just had a regular cheese pizza with pepperoni. It was the best pizza I've had in a really long time - as good as the pizza I used to have when I grew up in the Bronx a million years ago. Definitely going back!

The pasta was basic home made pasta, nothing special about it. The penne alla vodka was bland, no flavor, the sauce tasted old.

On our trip to NYC we wanted some great Italian. Everyone said that the Bronx was where we needed to go. On our zoo day, our little family of 4 stopped in and had the best meal of our entire trip. The service was fantastic and we are still talking about it 4 weeks later! I only have a picture of my dish, the Gnocchi Alla Bosciaola. So good! My husband loved the Veal Saltimbocca.

I am Italian on a trip to NYC. I tried several Italian restaurants and delis and I have to say that Antonio’s dishes stand out. The polpette taste exactly like my mum’s. The pizza is also very good, one of the best I tried in NYC so far. I also tried the zuppa Toscana (phenomenal) and the Marsala chicken….pure symphony! The place is very cozy and the service super kind and professional. Antonio rocks. Standing ovation ?

I wish I started coming to this restaurant earlier. I always get the same excellent service from everybody. The place gets really full especially around some holidays. Call ahead just in case so you don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy such an amazing place and food.

I ordered a salad and the carbonara takeout from this restaurant. The salad was good, I really liked it but the pasta unfortunately a waste. Carbonara is my favorite pasta, thats my go to when I can’t makeup my mind what to order in a restaurant and I know what Carbonara pasta is supposed to taste like and this is not it. So I spend almost $60 on a meal I couldn’t have.
