    The ravioli alfredo was literally just reheated. The dairy and oils separate from the Alfredo, Leaving it with this gooey oily substance.
    Midnight M.

    My boyfriend and I have ordered from here a few times lately and we have been so disappointed. The food tastes so stale. We always order the chicken parmesan and Alfredo ravioli. The ravioli alfredo was literally just reheated and when that happens the dairy and oils separate from the Alfredo, Leaving it with this gooey oily substance. Not pleasant at all. The chicken parmesan had a rubbery texture and tasted like left over chicken. The marinara sauce was dry and it didn't have enough on the chicken. This is the 3rd time this has happened. I don't think we're going to order from here again.

    What I ordered and paid for but did not receive.

    I placed an order online and called the restaurant to pay for it by card. My order came with the wrong kind of bread and no fettuccine noodles. When I called the restaurant they said it doesn't come with additional noodles and blamed it on the website. I asked why didn't he mention that before taking my money and he said he didn't notice it. But even though it's a website they chose to present to their customers and an oversight on their end they did not give me a credit or anything to resolve the issue. All they offered was for me to wait for the correct bread to be delivered to exchange. I was extremely hungry and my order was wrong and the ravioli didn't even taste good. Never ordering here again. I spend my money where it is valued. In the hood or not.

    Had a taste for fried calamari for sometime now And I know there was only a couple of spots in my area that did fried calamari so I settled on Venice And I was delighted on my pick, not only was it good it looked it amazing exactly what I wanted and he looks and taste how did twice in one week must try

    Shrimp francese
    Hanoi G.

    Order from here on Saturday. My daughter wanted shrimp francese with linguini in Alfredo sauce. I had chicken Piccata with angel hair and broccoli rabe and my son a typical chicken parm. First of all I most say that all the food was bland, my daughter pasta she had to add garlic, salt and pepper, I did as well. My son said he sandwich was good. I called the place to assure they got my order and to ask if i could add broccoli rabe to which the response was yes. I asked how much and they charged me an extra $10 I added cause I was craving it. Also he asked if its ok the shrimp will have mushroom to which I responded yes. The shrimps came plain and my chicken only had like less than 10 capers. Thanks God I had at home and added some. It is unfortunate that I had such a bad experience. Will not be ordering from here again.

    Ownership has changed but the food and atmosphere hasn't ...the food and bottles of wine we had was delicious and not entirely over priced....we will be coming back when the service gets better....

    Food is great but the service sucks. Server took more than half hour to bring out check. Seems as if he was the cook and the server.

    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.

Adorable cozy light up front entrance, host/waiter greeted us by the front door and seated us right away. We tried the brussel sprouts (can't remember the name on the menu) aw man it was delicious! It had so much flavor and the perfect amount of crunch without it tasting burnt. We also had the baked clams, sadly that had zero flavor. I even dipped it into the sauce and yeah that didn't help much at all. I've had better. Now the GNOCCHI was interesting since it was in red sauce rather than the typical pesto cheesy sauce. I'm not too sure if it goes well together? I had a few pieces and the texture was great but I felt like I needed that cheesy flavor? Might just be my taste buds searching for something similar. Which btw my portion was half of the dish. Our waiter was nice enough to split the dish into 2 portions. That was def appreciated as many don't do that. Dude.. the creme brûlée?! I could have licked the plate clean! Def not my style but I was tempted! Haha it wasn't crazy sweet which is nice since you don't feel a cavity waiting to happen? It's a must try! Super curious about the other dishes. Highly recommend giving this spot a try! Btw there's a full bar so cheers!

    So a friend of mine has been telling about this spot called "Patricia's" since she knows I love…read moreItalian cuisine.. and so she invited me for dinner there and I must say.. As soon as I walked in I felt very much welcomed. The restaurant decor was beautiful! It was perfect. I don't know how many owners there are but one of them was very welcoming and passed by each table greeting guests. I thought that was a sign of professionalism.. Now for the food.. Man.. 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! So if you're looking for some terrific Italian food in the Morris Park area of the Bronx, you should definitely check out this spot, Patricia's.

I stopped by today again with my mom after a doctor's appointment and running errands. It was around 230pm and very quiet inside we weren't sure if they were opened. However, service picked up shortly after we came in. My mom and i were given water and bread with olive oil. We ordered the margarita pizza which was cut into eight slices so we had four each. We also ordered two sodas. I love that it's brick oven pizza. Food totaled at $25 and we tipped the guy $8 since he was quick and attentive. Food was great and the restaurant is beautiful. Very clean even the restrooms. Can't wait to come back

The atmosphere felt…read morecozy and upscale without being overly formal, with a very authentic oldschool Italian vibe. 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.

They always make you feel like family. The style of service is very old school but they do it in a charming way. The seating is comfortable and cozy. They always have everything clean and decorated nicely. The octopus was tender and had a great charred taste. the pasta was cooked to perfection. It was so flavorful and light. I will always recommend this place.

All aspects of this visit were spot on: Kind and caring service, excellent food quality, and good value. The pacing of the dinner was also right on- not too fast, not too slow- just right. 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. The Italian cheesecake was also large and excellent. Hot expresso with anisette was served. The service team here is well trained and on their toes. I can't believe that I didn't know of this place sooner- a true neighborhood gem. They also seemed to be doing a robust take away business...
