Trattoria Zero Otto Nove

An authentic Italian gem on Arthur Avenue…read more Zero Otto Nove was recommended to us by the owner of Titles Brothers, where I regularly go to buy Italian cold cuts and cheeses. It turned out to be one of the best recommendations we've received. My mom, my daughter, and I absolutely loved our experience. The food was outstanding, the wine was excellent, and every dish was full of authentic Italian flavor. We arrived about 30 minutes before closing, but the staff welcomed us with a smile and never made us feel rushed. Instead, they took the time to recommend some of their favorite dishes, and every suggestion was delicious. What made the evening even more special was how kind and attentive they were to my daughter. Their hospitality was exceptional and made us feel truly welcome. If you're visiting Arthur Avenue and looking for authentic Italian cuisine with outstanding service, Zero Otto Nove is a restaurant I highly recommend. Great food, excellent wine, warm hospitality, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer. We'll definitely be coming back!

We started with the Patate Salsiccia e Provola, and I immediately understood why Italians talk with their hands my mouth was too busy eating to say anything. Crispy potatoes, savory sausage, and gooey provola cheese... comfort food at its finest. For my main course, I had the Pollo Capriccio with a glass of red wine. The chicken was so tender I barely needed a knife, and the wine had me looking around for a Vespa to ride back to the Bronx. The service was fantastic friendly, attentive, and patient enough to let me butcher every Italian word on the menu without judging me. At least not out loud. If this isn't what Italy feels like, don't tell me. I'm happy living in this delicious fantasy. Now excuse me while I search for affordable flights to Rome... or just uback to Arthur Avenue.

My friend and I enjoyed ourselves.. The food was amazingly delicious. I had the chicken Franchise with Angel Hair pasta.. Amazing! The complimentary bread was delicious too! Altogether the experience was awesome. We enjoyed our meal and time at Patricia's and will be back soon!

Everything tasted fresh and well made. The warm bread was soft, fresh, and nicely herby with what tasted like oregano sprinkled on top. Portions were satisfying, flavors were rich without feeling too heavy, and the quality really stood out. We ordered sparkling water and a couple of cocktails. For appetizers we had the Polpettine Di Casa (homemade beef meatballs in pomodoro sauce) and the Portuguese octopus with fava beans, cannellini beans, onions, and apple vinegar dressing. Both were flavorful and well prepared. For entrées we ordered the Pappardelle alla Bolognese with homemade pasta and meat sauce, along with the New Zealand lamb chops over broccoli rabe and mashed potatoes. The pasta tasted fresh and authentic, and the lamb was tender and cooked as requested. Unfortunately, the night ended on a disappointing note because of the service. Mario was pleasant, but another server, I believe named Alex, overheard a conversation and became argumentative and sarcastic toward the birthday woman's son. It felt very unprofessional for the setting and completely changed the mood of the dinner, causing everyone to leave earlier than planned. The 93yr old woman was shaking. People should stay in their lane. Sadly, because of that interaction, I wouldn't return.

Dinner starts with a green salad with house dressing and a selection of Italian breads. This is old school Italian service which seems to be going away. as many restaurants regrettably skip on the bread delivery these days. Everyone enjoyed their entrees- Chicken parm, Shrimp Parm, Penne Ala Vodka, Grilled chicken with Broccoli Rabe and the house specialty- shrimp and veal Fratelli- one of the better entrees I have had in a long while. The potato croquettes were a great accompaniment for this dish to enjoy the sauce/gravy. Dessert included perhaps the largest selection ever (a positive) was available along with pictures.

When it came to a friend's house party in the Bronx (#1), we were spread a tad thin. Minus some…read morenacho dip and enough booze to start a liquor store, there was no food in sight. Enter in local pizzeria Tiny's, who after a quick phone call, delivered a slew of pies to save the night. Despite the slightly misleading name, Tiny's delivered for us in a big way. These large, gourmet style pizzas were around 12 slices each, putting them in a pseudo monster pizza like status. Each slice was a tasty, consisting of a lovely sesame thin crust, along with a zesty sauce to booty. Tangy yet savory, this was the kind of pizza many local New Yorkers would approve of while folding each slice through a flimsy half. The warm slices of the plain pie was the perfect treat to a long night only an alcoholic would appreciate. Next up was the meat lovers pie, which for all accounts and purposes, was so hearty that it would only a little more than one slice to fill up. A swig of something fierce, along with a bite of Tiny's was the common practice for the rest of the night. Hours later when the hangover headaches began and visions of being mugged in the city's most sketchy borough, non-Bronx guests started munching away for part II of the pizza binge. For some folks, the true mark of a quality pizza is how it tastes when it's at room temperature or cold. These babies passed the test and made for even better cold pizza, or as we say amongst the stoner crowd, "breakfast." In the end, I think Tiny's is a quality local pizza joint. There are lots of stalemate pizzas throughout the boroughs that operate primarily as a take out joint, which are all consistently mediocre. Tiny's on the other hand, gets my thumbs up for one upping the echelon with remarkable quality with reasonable prices. _____________ (#1) Yes, you read that right.

I took another bite, and the smell was still there. I then cut off the crust and ate that; it tasted just fine. I then tried a piece of cheese, which tasted fine. There's something wrong with the sauce or the bread that makes it inedible. There is a strong sour smell; maybe they left the sauce or dough out too long, and it went bad. This is what George's Pizza sent to me. I used the Slice app to complain about the pizza, and the response that was relayed back to me in the Slice chat from George's Pizza was that there is nothing wrong with the pizza. They said it was prepared normally, and there is no refund. This is simply bad customer service. I've been a loyal customer of George's Pizza for many years, they got me through the pandemic! There are a lot of other pizza places nearby. They will get my business in the future, not George's Pizza. I deleted the Slice app when it wouldn't let me download the chat conversation.
