I don't give out a lot of 5 star reviews, but what a fantastic lunch. Spent some time at the Botanical Gardens (less than 10 minutes away) and did a quick search for lunch. They came up highly recommended, that always makes me a little apprehensive. They were right! Got there around 1is, not crowded but there were some patrons - looked like regulars. We got seated right away. Service could not have been better and I base a lot of my reviews on that. One of the staff was clearing the table and accidentally brushed against me, he barely touched me - he couldn't have been more apologetic. Very impressive, I assume management trained him and kudos to them for that! Food was next level! Calamari app was tasty, fresh, tender and delicious. I had the Filet of Sole and it was in an egg batter that was very tasty and perfect. I know it was good because my son had several bites! He also had the gnocchi and I don't think he took a breath while eating it. Definitely be back if I'm in the area again. read more

Well, we gave this place a try by recommendation. Unfortunately, it fell below expectations. We tried the veal saltimbocca and the Linguine Alle Vongole. The veal looked great but the flavor was truly lacking. Marsala-like sauce was watery without the rich flavor. Could be so much better. The clams were plentiful but needed a bit more linguine. The sauce was so watery and tasted like just clam juice with barely any flavor at all. Lacked the wine garlic deliciousness that normally comes with this dish. So, we won't be returning. Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant was pleasant overall. Just needs major improvement with food preparation. Flavor makes all the difference. read more

Ordered for take out the seafood pasta, chicken saltimbuca, and the Mediterranean salad. The food was ok. For the expensive prices for the Bronx it was a bit disappointing. The Mediterranean salad had no tomatoes or cucumbers which is pretty standard in a Mediterranean salad. No bread came on the side. Typical Italian restaurants will always provide a bread on the side. The chicken was ok. The seafood pasta lacked flavor. It's as if the seafood was just boiled without lemon, butter, wine etc. it had no flavor ! I requested utensils and to go items (plates, napkins) and the ordered came with nothing. Big disappointment won't be returning. read more

Our friends who live in the Bronx told us about the Little Italy area in the Bronx. Never heard of it but I am glad we went. The area was very quaint and we got to have dinner here at Antonio's. Our server was very good and prompt. The food was outstanding and the wine was delicious. The bread basket arrived at the table promptly after seating but I noticed that it was room temperature. We asked for it to be warmed up and they did very quickly. My pork chop with onion and peppers was moist and very well made..I asked for no salt added. My husband's chicken dish was very good as well. Overall a great choice for great Italian in the area. read more

Fordham Alum for 10 years now and Antonio's continue to be a staple! Their pizza is still one of the best I had in NYC and you cannot beat their price for their chef kiss menu. Beats Manhattan anytime. Came with a family of 6 and paid $400 inc tip for 2 large apps, 7 dishes, and 2 sangria pitchers Their current special is the short rib - beef was so. So. Tender I ordered their short read more

This may be one, if not the best pepperoni pizza I've ever had. I grew up in NYC and Mimi's pizza was my "go to." This rivaled that long lost memory. It's hard to live up to a memory and they did it. The pepperoni was the perfect size, spread out evenly across the pizza. It got cooked to the perfect curl, enough to have a slight crisp, but still a good chew. My frutti di mare was spicy, as requested (it normally has a mild sauce) and the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. I had NY cheesecake for dessert, which was spot on. My cocktail was huge and strong. I luckily had a designated driver. The others in my party had chicken parm, pasta, and loved their dishes, too. You can't go wrong here and it deserves to be considered one of the best offerings of Arthur Avenue, the real Little Italy in NYC. Service as friendly, well paced, and accurate. Remember to tip well. read more

We came from Long Island to try out the famous Arthur Avenue district and this place got the highest reviews. The service was pretty spot on. Not sure if it was because the night was a quiet one (Friday) but everyone was super attentive. The food was okay. I wouldn't make a trip here but I guess if I was in the area, this is a place I'd go to. Seems like Arthur Ave may have lost its charm- not many Italian restaurants anymore- but this one is holding on. read more

Spent 2 1/2 hours here eating and drinking with the locals mid day. The veal cutlet parmigiana was amazing! The sauce and mozzarella were married to each other. This place has been on my radar for a long time. I just visit NYC once a year. Love the vibe here. read more

We've gotten take out a lot from here over the years and it's always been reliable and relatively good. The chicken parmigiana just isn't the best I've ever had and the pasta that comes with it is also a little on the salty side. The chicken francese is decent but the spinach that comes with it does not seem like the best fit. Perhaps trying in person would have a different feel. read more

Excellent Italian food is found all over NYC. Most times I find myself in Manhattan or Brooklyn enjoying a taste of Italy. It was really nice going to Bronx' Little Italy by Arthur Avenue & finding purely excellent cuisine. Our group of 3 enjoyed a wonderful lunch. The service was excellent, & the ambiance was Italian all the way. Well, actually the piped in music was anything but Italian, but that's ok. I got to enjoy part of 2 dishes. One was artichokes cooked in olive oil, Parmesan, & other goodies. That dish was gold! The other dish was a classic pizza topped with cupped pepperoni. It was excellent. You could taste the dough's freshness as it had a little tang of yeast in its flavor. The sauce, fresh mozzarella, & pepperoni were all a hit. We loved it. read more

Avoid if you can. Mediocre-to-average food, and certainly not worth the price. The kids ravioli was $16 and offered three ravioli. Pizza and Caesar salad were average at best. The pasta dish could easily be made at home with higher quality. Service was friendly and attentive. read more

My family and I dined at Antonio's on a Friday evening: Service - Excellent, server was always available but did not hover. Ambiance - Friendly, not too loud so you were able to hear conversations I had: the endive gorgonzola salad. It my favorite dish of the meal. Delicious, ample-size portion. My entree was the veal saltimbocca in a Marcela wine sauce - The decent-sized portion of veal was tender and tasty. I felt the dish was too oily but it didn't stop me from devouring it. Other comment is check your check. Was charged for two ginger ales at $8 which I did not order. read more

Between our trips to the Bronx Zoo and the Botanical Gardens, we needed dinner. All the intel we saw said Arthur Avenue was the place to be, so we perused Italian restaurants on Yelp and Antonio's was right at the top. There was a 30 minute wait so we wandered through the streets for a while, looking at all the other restaurants and markets. When we got back, we only had to wait a bit more to get seated. One of the (few) cons of this place is that there really wasn't anywhere to stand while you waited - the entryway was really cramped, so one of my friends was squashed up near the bar, another ended up in front of the men's restroom, and I was trapped between the host stand and the door. Some of the big groups were actually standing in the middle of the front seating area, where we ended up sitting, so when we were seated there were people standing almost on top of us for the beginning of our meal. But you know what? It was worth it because the food and drinks were freakin' awesome. I got the Italian Lemonade with vodka, Aperol, sour mix, and lemonade, and one of my friends got the white sangria. Both drinks were excellent, but she thought the Italian Lemonade was so good (as did I) that she got one for her second drink. For our meals, one friend got the tortellini en brodo, another got the special ravioli with chicken, walnuts, dates, and rosemary, and I got the lasagna. Everyone was simply delighted with their meal. My lasagna was delicious, with delicate sheets of pasta packed with meat and cheese and a great tomato sauce (which I wished there was a little more, but I always want more sauce). My friend's ravioli was also fabulous, with a wonderful combination of flavors and a lovely sauce. My other friend loved her tortellini as well. The bread served to the table was fresh and tasty, and great for dipping in all our dishes. Even though it took a while to get seated, once we did the service was fast and friendly. And the food was just fantastic! I'm so glad we decided to wait. Loved it! read more

Came here famished after NYBG. This place is in Little Italy of the Bronx, but a bit away from the hustle and bustle of Arthur Avenue. It was 6 of us. We were seated promptly. I had lobster ravioli and my husband had short ribs cavatelli. Our friends had seafood pasta, fried calamari and eggplant parm appetizer. The food was really good and fresh. I took off one star as they completely forgot to bring baked clams we ordered. Overall, a great place for Italian dinner. read more

Came here for dinner and was impressed by the huge portions! The bread was a highlight -- incredibly soft and fresh. We tried the veal meatballs, which were good but didn't quite blow us away. The lasagna is definitely for those with a big appetite as it's very rich and heavy, but the clam pasta was the real winner for us. Overall, a solid and satisfying meal. read more

This place was so good, I had it in my bookmarks for a while and have NO IDEA why I hadn't been there before. It was Saturday and we came with no reservation. I called beforehand to ask if they required reservations and he said we could come, as soon as we walked in the server recognized my voice, which was pretty great, and he sat us at a table next to the windows that he had gotten ready for us when I called. Every person that came to our table was incredibly friendly and with such a sweet vibe. We shared eggplant parmigiana for appetizer, and let me tell you, IT WAS THE BEST I HAVE HAD!!! We devoured it as soon as they brought, the delicious smell had us going crazy!! My and my mom LOVED IT!!! For entree my mom chose Alfredo Fettuccini with chicken and I chose Spaghetti Carbonara, they were both delicious and savory but not salty and the pasta was cooked to perfection!! For dessert we chose two of their homemade ones: Italian cheesecake and tiramisu. My mom LOVED the Italian cheesecake and we were actually pretty surprised to see it was nothing like American cheesecake, it had more like an actual cake texture and it was not too sweet, which she loved even more! My tiramisu was definitely made in heaven, it was so delicious and soft, you could taste every ingredient but as a perfect combination, nothing was overpowering!! We both left desiring to come back soon. I have it on my list to come back specially because I want to try one of their tomato sauce pastas, that sauce from the eggplant parmigiana was nothing I had before, so delicious, so fresh, so much flavor!!!! Definitely going back soon!! read more

The food was phenomenal and the service is out of the world. Such a great environment for families. The best restaurant environment we have had in a long long time.

Do not skip a beat, celebrate your most special moments here. You will not regret it. read more

We chanced upon this gem on our way to the zoo and everything we ordered was amazing. Haven't had shrimp this big and juicy in years. The pasta was excellent, the pizza some of the best we've ever had and the soup was also outstanding. The dressing in the caesar salad was light, zesty and delicious. Our server was a prince and kept our wine glasses filled. They even have a kid's menu with a great selection. Truly something for everyone. We had such a good time we didn't make it to the zoo, but we'll be back to Antonio's. 10/10. read more

Eh. After a long day of orchid-traipsing at the botanical garden, I'm glad we veered off the main Arthur Ave stretch to Antonio's because they were able to seat our tired feet right away--but I wouldn't rush back. Our lunch was a mixed bag. The good: - Baked Clams Oreganata: Delicious and generously portioned - Arancini di Riso: Crisp and savory, but four wasn't really enough (we got 24 clams for the Oreganata, for reference) The eh: - Baked Ziti Sorrentino: Creamy and rich and large, but lacking in seasoning. - Veal Parmigiana: The veal cutlet itself was very savory and well done, but it came with the same weird spaghetti. The not great: - Spaghetti with Meatballs: The sauce was weirdly lumpy and didn't mix well with the noodles, and the meatballs, though big, were dry and overcooked. - Frutti di Mare: It had loads of seafood, but again, the tomato sauce was off. Service was fine, but there are nicer, friendlier spots on AA. Ditto the decor, which isn't bad, but kinda dark and depressing compared to some of the fake frescos you'll see on AA. read more

I would have given it 2 1/2 stars but obviously that tells you how disappointing this place is. Veal Francese had NO lemon but at least it came with 3 cutlets so at least a good size portion. The red sauce tasted like it came from a jar. Pizza was ok, definitely not worth going out of your way. The service was friendly & prompt. read more

The complimentary bread (2 thick slices) was fluffy with a chewy crust. It was so good, I'd consider buying a whole loaf. The Penne alla Vodka was amazing, and the sauce's flavor isn't too overwelcoming. The pasta was al dente, and the portion wasn't underwhelming. I can't speak to the service or ambiance of the restaurant, since I ordered delivery, but I'd love to visit in person sometime to dine in! read more

Food was good not great. Had the linguine with white clam sauce and it was ok. The antipasti was good but nothing exceptional

I was in a group of 8 and had originally wanted to go to a different restaurant in Little Italy but it was closed on Sundays so Antonio's Trattoria was the backup option. We got there shortly after they opened and we were able to be sat right away without a reservation. The staff took really great care of us the whole time we were there. The fried calamari was good, pretty standard. I got the gnocchi as my main but regretted it and wished that I had gotten the carbonara lol. The gnocchi was just alright and I saw my other friends who got the carbonara and it looked better than mine haha. Lastly, I can't go to an Italian restaurant and NOT try their tiramisu! I got it for dessert but was kind of disappointed. I've had better tasting tiramisu before. I guess I didn't like that it was kind of room temperature instead of slightly chilled, I also thought that the flavors strong enough. Yeah so would I come back here on my own just for the food? Probably not. But it was really fun to come here with friends and Antonio's was great at accommodating a large group so I wouldn't be opposed to eating here if those circumstances come up again. read more

3.5 to be honest. It was a typical American Italian joint. But they do have about 6 homemade pastas which is awesome. The sauces left a lot to be desired. The server thought it was an hour later and was rushing us to get the orders in before they closed.. then apologized. The food was just fine.. nothing amazing, nothing terrible. Another funny thing is that the server with the cheese was going around and I asked for cheese, my side was pasta... fettuccine with garlic and olive oil, btw, the best part of the meal. Anyway, back to the funny part, he stayed heading cheese on my shirt rib, and i was so confused... he didn't notice the pasta I guess... it turned out okay...i was told the hot antipasto was delicious. The cold was fine. read more

Came here with my group of 4 on a Monday night and there was plenty of seating. We ordered a $30 bottle of red which was pretty decent and started with baked clams and small fried veal meatballs (added ricotta on the side). Both were good - I loved soaking up the sauce from the baked clams with the bread and wish there was more red sauce with the meatballs. Entrees Fettuccine Alfredo - creamy and good but I wish the portion was bigger. Veal Saltimbocca - DELICIOUS! Our favorite entree we ordered. Rotini Filetto di Pomodoro - liked the diced prosciutto in it but was a bit salty. Rotini Rugantini - delicious spiral pasta in red sauce with sausage. The pasta menu was divided into "pasta" and "fresh made pasta" so not sure if the latter meant homemade pasta but if it did, I wish there was a larger selection since it was mostly the fettuccini alfredo, lasagna and gnocchis. Overall, I would come here again to try more dishes! read more

Service was an easy 4-5 star experience. Our waiter was kind and attentive. They did a great job making sure we had space needs and so forth. The ambiance was a 3. We were near a secondary entrance that let very cold air in when opened. Tacky plastic water bottles and some mixed decor. Food was inconsistent. Gnocchi was too soft but cheesy tasty and the plum tomatoes sauce was delicious. Fettuccini Alfredo was creamy and delicious but simple ( lacked some depth) noodles were excellent. Bucatini pesto with salmon was a mess. Pesto had no flavor. Salmon was thin and flavorless and the pesto tasted like cream with green food coloring. The noodles were on point but the rest did not work. read more

We were there early in the evening, and it was very quiet, but it started to fill up. It was very relaxed but comfortable. The service was so good and so friendly. We got to know the server and his son, both of whom were wonderful. We started with the fried calamari, which was plentiful and very fresh, lightly fried with their marinara sauce on the side. It was delicious. We also shared Aarancini, which was also light and delicious. My wife had Primevara, which she said was the best she had had in a long time, and I had the broccoli raab. sausage and penne. It was delicious and so well balanced. The broccoli raab was just bitter enough, and the whole thing was moist and balanced perfectly with the sausage mixed in. We then had cappuccino and shared a Nutella Cannoli. Perfect! I was so happy to have found this place. read more

I had a family dinner here on a crowded Saturday night. We had reservations and were immediately seated. The staff was very friendly and very patient with the children in my family. For appetizers, we had the fried calamari, arancini, Caesar salad and arugulata pizza. The fried calamari is some of the best we've had and the arancini was delicious. The kids loved the arugulata pizza. For dinner, I had the gnocchi alla boscaiola, which I absolutely loved. It was the perfect amount of food for me. I also tried my girlfriend's short ribs, which were the perfect melt off the bone texture. I wanted to steal the plate from her. For dessert, I had the tiramisu. It was the perfect end to the dinner for me. Overall, everyone enjoyed their meals and we would come back if we find ourselves in the Bronx again. read more

All the food was amazing, but the Arancini was probably in the top 4 or 5 I have ever eaten and I live in New York! The waitstaff was attentive and efficient.
