I've ordered delivery from Antonio's before so I knew the food was delicious and filling. I've had chicken parm, the garlic bread with cheese and the pizza for delivery and all were good, minus the garlic bread with cheese being a little soggy but that's prob due to travel. I went in on a Friday evening for dinner and even with a reservation, there was plenty of seating inside. I ordered the shrimp parm and my bf had the veal Marsala. The shrimp parm was soooo good. The sauce was so flavorful and the shrimp cooked perfectly. The pasta on the side went perfect with it. I tried some of the bfs veal Marsala and it was yummy. We also had a carafe of wine which was equal to a liter and had me feeling a little tipsy by the time we left. During our time there, a little do-wop group came in and performed a couple songs which was the perfect ending to a great dinner. Can't wait to return. read more

After joes deli, stopped by for a comfort food nosh. I had the veal meatballs that were saucy and buttery soft with loads of fresh marinara sauce and ricotta cheese. The carbonara was not as authentic as expected. We thought the guancale was prosciutto and the distinctive pecorino flavor was missing. The pasta was Al dente although not creamy and stuck together. The doppio espresso machiatto was great. read more

Little Italy in the Bronx has restaurants here over 100 years . Antonio's, the new kids on the block here 14 years are getting most of the attention. Why is Antonio's the most reviewed highest rated Italian restaurant near Arthur Avenue in the Bronx section of little Italy? Let's find out. First we started with the hot appetizer for two. Got to check out their eggplant parm, calamari, baked clams , mussels, shrimp and tomato sauce. All a five star hit. What next. Ok tried a caraf of Chianti. Not a drop too much .. left none.. nice and easy drinking with traditional Italian style cooking. Spaghetti and meatballs were good but not nearly as good linguine and clams. Nothing better than al dente pasta and fresh clams The owner Joe brought out some Limoncello which I am way past age to have not yet tried. Love lemon pannetore for holiday time. But yet never once had Limoncello One sip and we are hooked. Now it's going to be a tradition when in Italian restaurants. We met Eric who brought some cheese. And a nice waiter from Italy who after living here three years is going to check out Montauk on his day off. My suggestion. Things are just getting slightly back to normal. Dining here inside or al fresco. Nothing nicer than Italian food in the Bronx. After some good dinner and nice wine I looked up and said to my best friend I'd love to come her for dinner all the time. He joked we should get an apartment there so we can enjoy this area. Lol. Back to Long Island but we actually love being here. The people just were all around cool and the vice was our thing. One man sat I front of us. African American mid age dining alone eating calamari with a green apple Martini. The owner an Jim seemed like friends. It felt like we happened upon a small town in the Bronx. Just friendly and fun here. read more

The ambiance was nice. The food was ok-nothing great. We were all kind of disappointed.

Looking for incredible Italian cuisine in Little Italy, Bronx, NYC? Minutes from the Bronx zoo. We really enjoyed our experience here at Antonio's Trattoria. Indoor and outdoor dining with a full bar. Great service, cuisine, and they were able to accommodate dietary restrictions. I had the beef short ribs, pasta, and red sangria. read more

I came in on a Sunday evening, and there was a charming and smooth atmosphere. The service was prompt and very professional. We ordered a margarita pie and fried calamari for the table and ended with a fantastic Nutella pie! I also ordered a few expresso martinies, which were super tasty and robust. Overall, it was a lovely experience. read more

Sniffed this location out during a food festival #thenoseknows You know when you're starving and an aroma wafts your way... and suddenly you realize that you've left your friends mid speech... and when you look up, your only statement is "Seating" please! Well... this is THAT place. From the owners to the staff, all are helpful and provide excellent service. Nice location with indoor and outdoor seating, plus street parking available. Nice ambiance and lighting. Nice for romantic meals. Such a great restaurant read more

The rating is off on this place, 3* is the max. Food is similar to a Long Island pizza place, nothing special. The seafood pasta was smothered in red sauce as you would expect from a pizza place. Veal parm same, nothing special. Best was the bread and olive oil. Seems the area is just tourist places. Nice ambiance and service. read more

Had really high hopes for this place. I really wanted a red sauce joint that had amazing food. This place didn't quite meet the mark. The chicken parm was something like you could get in any pizzeria, was really unimpressed by the dish was bad. The penne ala vodka was basic and watered down. The calamari was over battered, I prefer light battered crispy calamari. The breading here was just too much. Now for the good, the veal meatballs was great. The fresh fettuccini Alfredo was amazing. I would stick to the fresh pasta offerings and the meatballs. Overall it's ok 3.5 stars read more

Excellent food , Pleasanton atmosphere, but the waiters aren't friendly , not hospitable at all .

The service is impeccable. Jean couldn't have been more helpful and efficient. The fresh pasta was delicious. My fettuccini alfredo could have used more cream otherwise the homemade pasta made it special. Perfectly al dente. The gnocchi, again made special bc it was homemade. Nothing was too salty. The pasta fagolia had lots of pasta in it which made my 96 yo dad happy. Can't recommend the short ribs. They were dry. This is the easiest meat to cook. Can't recommend the lasagna either, aside from looking like manicotti it didn't have enough sauce and didn't have layers, it was manicotti-lol Antonio's is better than most of the restaurants in the area. So I'd recommend it for that. Make a reservation to be sure. Parking in the area is tight. Try the muni lot on Arthur avenue, it's a short walk. read more

Amazing food- even with delivery. Whenever I want to order Italian food - this place is my "go-to" I've had many of the appetizers and several entrees. read more

Lunch today at Antonio's. Great cozy place with warm wood tones, huge wine racks and lots of old photos on the walls related to Aurthur Ave, the Bronx and Italy. We had a group of 5 that was warmly accommodated. Started off with cold antipasto which had a nice sample of cheeses, dry sausage, olives and prosciutto. Also had the Arancini which were warm creamy and filled with mozzarella . Main orders were fettuccine bolognese, spaghetti carbonara, and margarita pizza. All around great taste, portions and reasonable prices. Service was very attentive without being overbearing overbearing. All in all I highly recommend and will return. read more

I graduated Fordham in 1993 and regularly go back for events. Friends and I went last night to Antonio's for the first time before a basketball game. The Veal Meatballs are awesome. The house salad had a great dressing on it and the bread is great. I had the lasagna it was great. Other dishes ordered were Salmon, chicken, and the cavatelli special with short ribs and they were all a hit. The wine list has a great selection with reasonably priced bottles. Next time we are going to get pizza. read more

Antonio's Trattoria - Lasagna Di Casa - Italian Near Me - Bronx, New York

Antonio's Trattoria is an Italian restaurant that opened in the Bronx's "Little Italy" in 2006. The restaurant was founded by owner Anthony Lancione and his two business partners. The three friends grew up near Arthur Avenue and saw the need for an establishment that brought diners back to the old world in way of food and atmosphere. The trattoria serves everything from Italian-American classics like Chicken Parmigiana to house-made pasta dishes to thin crust pizza. They also boast an extensive wine selection. My wife, son and I recently visited the Bronx Zoo and we took my parents along. We thought it would be fun to get dinner in Little Italy afterwards. My wife, son and I have been to Antonio's before and thought that my parents would enjoy it too. We made a reservation for early evening. For drinks, I ordered a delicious glass of Montepulciano and my dad had a glass of Merlot. For food, I ordered the Frutti di Mare (Linguine with Seafood), my wife had the Chicken Parmigiana, our son had Ravioli off the Kid's menu, my mom had Fettuccine Primavera and my dad had Gnocchi alla Boscaiola. My wife and I tried the latter dish (featuring house-made pasta in a plum tomato sauce with onions and sweet sausage) during our last visit and recommended it to my dad. He loved it! My wife thought that the Chicken Parmigiana was some of the best she ever had! My mom and son loved their pasta dishes, and my Frutti di Mare really hit the spot! Another fantastic experience at Antonio's! My parents were very happy that we introduced them to this Bronx gem! read more

Based on some stellar experiences, Antonio's has become one of favorite Italian restaurants in NYC. Located just a stone's throw away from the Bronx Zoo and the Little Italy section of the borough, this place exudes old school Italian vibes with a little bit of New York hospitality. The service is impeccable, the interior is warm and homey, and the food is generally quite good. Like many Italian spots in the area, the initial impression is that it's old school to the bone. It really isn't all that big of a restaurant, but they've done a good job in providing enough seats that groups and dates could dine in harmony here. Weekends can get packed and I'd recommend getting reservations if at all possible but they're usually good with walk-ins as well. One thing people don't praise them enough on is takeout and delivery, which they do at lightning speeds. The food has its moments: sometimes it's semi-run of the mill and sometimes it's phenomenal. There is a homestyle Italian vibe to it, which I appreciate, but I would always recommend coming here with a group and ordering a number of dishes to experience their variety. They have a really solid wine selection and the bartenders at the bar are really good at what they do. Starting with appetizers, I am really into the polpettine and their fried calamari is excellent. For vegetarians, the spinach parm is good and the meatballs are divine. I think their salads are pretty basic, the caprese and arugula are nice, but not enough to warrant me ordering them on a consistent basis. Their pastas and parms really shine. The latter is good in any form: chicken, veal, spinach, eggplant etc. On the pasta end, the carbonara is indulgent and a tad on the creamier side. The gnocchi is right up there with some of the best I've had and I think I could eat their pappardelle anytime with any sauce. I should also point out that I really appreciate the portion sizes and overall presentation. They're all good in their own right. While I am not blown away by their pizzas, I do think they do a good job for being a non-specialty joint. Most of the pies are thin and super group friendly. I think I just haven't had enough of them but if the margarita (good), quattro formaggio (solid), arugula (meh), sausage and broccoli rabe (oh yes!) are any indication, then I'd focus on the other foods before making a run at the pizza. The service has been consistently on top of everything. When I've noted blander foods, they've gone out of their way to correct the issue by taking it directly back to the kitchen. They've kept my waters refilled and have served the table with various staff members all while remaining professional and polite. This is how it's done folks. I can't wait to come back some day, hopefully soon. Their Sunday specials are the stuff of legends and I hope to try more of their desserts given all that I've heard about them. I am already looking forward to my next feast. read more

My wife and I, have come here several times to celebrate our special occasions. The food and service are top notch.

And don't even get me started with the tiramisu. read more

Was looking for something new to try in the area and couldn't pass on this after reading the reviews. Thanks all :). Staff was very friendly! We were able to sit in the bar area and watch a college game that was on. Started with the bread and olive oil which was so fresh with crunchy outside and soft inside. Onto the hot antipasto that includes baked clams, garlic shrimp, fried calamari, and eggplant Parmesan. Fried calamari with the red sauce was a great pair of course. The red sauce was fresh, flavorful and had chunks of tomato. For main it was the carbonara with crumbled sausage. Highly suggest the crumbled sausage, so good with the prosciutto and creamy sauce. Pasta cooked perfectly al dente. Dessert had a warm chunky chocolate chip cookie with ice cream. So huge deff for sharing but I took the rest home to have for later. Highly suggest. I need to come back to try a red sauce pasta. read more

A hidden gem found in the Bronx Tucked away from the hustle and bustle. Lunch on a Thursday was absolutely delicious. The waiter was attentive and patient. He answered all of our questions and offered suggestions. He suggested the half portions of the pastas because I had a hard time deciding which pasta I wanted. All of the food was fresh, seasoned to perfection. When we were finished I even ordered a Tortellini and Spinach soup and a side of Spinach sautéed with garlic to go with my leftovers. The food and ambiance along with the attention to detail was very refreshing to find in a restaurant. To complete our meal our waiter gave us a complimentary drink. read more

We went there for a late afternoon lunch and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The seatings and decorations are tasteful. My friend is a frequent comer and she recommended Something that's not on the menu. And the waiter helped us order the foods and it came out great. The complimentary breads are not as yummy. But we did enjoy our lunch there for sure read more

This place is unreal. I love Calamari, and I got some Calamari along with some meatballs. to blend in the salad I ordered. We were newbies here at Antonios Trattoria. Nice place where we were immediately seated with a semi short crowd. Place is lovely with that family vibe to it. Drinks are also good with the menu choices here. Nice servers and good food. What more could I ask for. read more

Been going to this restaurant since I was a child. If you really want home made Italian food, this place is the place for it. The servers really catered to the customer and they give suggestions, especially if you are new to the resturant. The ambiance is very comfortable, and you can tell by the different customers visiting, some are long time customers or just coming from the Zoo or Botanical Garden. I usually love their speciality pastas, especially if it's the mushroom ravioli that sometimes alternate in their special orders menu. read more

lovely italian restaurant with great service :) what we got: chicken parm roll (5/5): omg, the bread was SO SOFT and there was a good amount of cheese and chicken (three pieces layered). it was also really big for a good price of 15 dollars and it was so good. the bread was just so incredibly soft and wasn't too thick. fettucine carbonara (5/5): not really on the menu so it coste 24 dollars. the pasta tasted so fresh and soft. it was chewy and didn't get soggy. also, the sauce wasn't too creamy where you get sick of it, but wasn't bland at all either. so good! service was good and complimentary bread was given :) read more

We had an amazing time at this restaurant. So many amazing laughable moments I'll never forget it. Food was on point! We had the stagione salad,the veal meatballs, Arancini balls, calamari, pasta carbonara and veal marsala. I had a superb red blend wine I don't remember the name of it and we shared a tiramisu. We were given bread that was super delicious. And because we had such delicious sauces I was able to use my bread to dip up the remaining bits of sauce. Will definitely be traveling back to this location next time I'm in the big city! read more

Ugh this place is my new obsession. I showed up on a Saturday evening without a reservation expecting to get rejected. To my surprise, there were two seats open at the bar next to two regulars. Next thing I know, it's 11:00pm and the place is closing down and we were the last ones to leave. Antonio's is the kind of place that makes you appreciate living here. The bartenders Joe and John (I think) were wonderful, we had so much fun with them. We hung out with regulars, met the manager and other staff members and truly had such a great evening. The food and drinks are also just as outstanding as the staff here. We had several martinis which were all strong and perfectly made. We shared the Penne Vodka (and added two amazing meatballs) and the Chicken Parm with linguini. Wow. There was not a single crumb or even remnant of sauce leftover. Although it's a bit far from the city, Antonio's is completely worth the trip. Come here early with a group or on a date, sit at the bar and be prepared to stay for hours and have one of the best traditional Italian meals/experiences you've ever had! read more

We came here on a Saturday night, it was a bit busy around 7pm but not terribly crowded. Our server offered us lots of bread which was much appreciated (although in hindsight, eating less bread would have been better). I'd recommend the stuffed mushrooms appetizer and the chocolate molten Bundt for dessert! (enjoy the low quality picture attached) The "Arthur Avenue Carolers" came in mid-dinner to serenade us - it was overall a festive place for an almost-Christmas meal and everyone was very cheerful. read more

The Fettuccine alla vodka sauce with mozzarella (subbed fresh fettuccine (I don't like penne) and added mozz on top (didn't really need)) was also phenomenal and the fresh pasta is perfection! 100% recommend.

Amazing amazing food and service!!! Live no where near the Bronx but I can not wait to go back!! It's a great place for a date, for families, for everything. This place was packed! Lots of big groups, small groups, and also families with children. People on dates and groups of friends. The wait staff was busy going back and forth serving the tables. And they were so quick to clean the table, someone else quickly sets it, someone else gets the order. But they do not rush you out. Customers come first here. And the food my oh my the food!!! Some of their pasta is made from scratch there so definitely ask them which. They also have vegetarian and vegan dishes. And for the little ones they have a whole children's menu or you can orders sides. Side of veggies or side of pasta is great for the really little ones. And the bread too they will devour. My only regret is that I didn't take food to go. I also have a very sensitive stomach and no issues with all that cheese. Which means they use fresh and good quality. Can not wait to go back. It's cheesy to say but the place makes you feel special. Like you are a human being eating and having a good time and not customers with dollar signs. read more
