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!

I've never been to Italy, but after dinner at Zero Otto Nove I'm pretty sure my passport should get…read morean honorary stamp. 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.

We hosted our company holiday party at Misto's Bar and Restaurant, and it was an absolutely…read morewonderful experience from start to finish. The food was excellent, the bartender and kitchen staff were attentive, friendly, and on point all night, and the overall atmosphere was perfect for celebrating as a team. We even had a DJ, and Misto's was a great space for both dining and dancing without feeling cramped or rushed. A special thank-you to Christian, the manager, who truly went above and beyond to make this a memorable and special first company holiday party for us. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made the entire event seamless and stress-free. Highly recommend Misto's for corporate events, celebrations, or any special occasion. We'll absolutely be back!

The weather was great, so you could choose to sit inside or out; we chose indoors. Even though our waitress was busy, she was still attentive and friendly.

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

What can I say! One of my all time favorite restaurants! Patricia's is located on Morris Park Ave…read more between Lurting & Haight Avenues in the Bronx. They specialize in delicious Italian food. The free appetizers of Pizza Slices & Sliced Bread with Olive Oil served before your meal are a meal in itself! The portions are large & satisfying. The Pastas are so good & the Lamb chops were tender & juicy. The desserts are good, with my favorite being the Tartufo (A chocolate shell filled with icecream & cherries & whipped cream with chocolate drizzle topping on the outside). The service is excellent & the staff is extremely friendly & accommodating. This place is always cheerful & busy & they play 70's music. On Birthdays they come to your table & sing loudly, Italian Style! The place is elegant, bright, clean & always happy. Great for large families & groups or a special dinner for two. They do take out & catering & there's always parking in the area. Manga!

Disorganized, misleading, and poorly managed…read more Ordered takeout from Michelangelo's Woodfire Grill through Slice at 6:45 PM with a promised pickup time of 7:02 PM. My husband arrived at 7:04 PM. The food was not ready. He was repeatedly told vague timelines ("a little while," then 7:15 PM), none of which were accurate. The manager disappeared into the kitchen, leaving him waiting with no updates. By 7:48 PM, after over 40 minutes, he left without the food. During that wait, other customers were seated, served, finished their meals, paid, and left -- all while two simple sandwiches could not be produced. I spoke directly with the manager twice. Instead of taking responsibility, he argued about the pickup time, minimized the delay, and only offered excuses and after-the-fact store credit. No proactive communication. No apology. No basic follow-through. Delays happen. This level of disorganization and lack of accountability is unacceptable. Order takeout elsewhere if you value your time.

Classic Italian comfort with a neighborhood feel!!!!!…read more Enzo's of Williamsbridge delivers a satisfying Italian dining experience with generous portions and comforting, familiar flavors. The food was well-prepared and hearty, especially the pasta dishes, which tasted fresh and filling. Some items stood out more than others, but overall quality was solid. The atmosphere has a warm, old-school neighborhood vibe that makes it feel welcoming and relaxed. Service was friendly and attentive, though it slowed slightly during peak hours. Overall, Enzo's of Williamsbridge is a dependable spot for classic Italian food. With a bit more consistency and quicker service at busy times, it could easily reach a five-star level.

Part 2 After a fulfilling meal of Veal Martini ($30) at…read moreEnzo's of Williamsbridge, this is the second part of the review consisting the to go order I took home: the Chicken Scarpariello on the bone, with the sausage, cherry peppers and potatoes option, along with ziti and red sauce; and the Double Cut Pork Chop with the cherry peppers and linguine with olive oil and garlic. I also took home a side order of escarole, sauteed in olive oil and garlic, and grated Parmesan on the side. The Chicken Scarpariello ($37 w/option ) is great and quite filling. The Chicken is coming from the thighs as best I can determine and is chopped up with a few bones that can be handled with a knife and fork. I would definitely order this always on the bone for flavor. You have the boneless option, but go with the bone. The cherry hot peppers add a definitive kick, above Fra Diavolo level, but nothing anyone cannot handle. The sausage was overcooked, but the potatoes were spot on. The red sauce, ziti and Parmesan calmed the moderate heat down if anyone is concerned. The escarole was a good accompaniment, but the spice level overwhelmed the wine with this dish. By the way, I can now confirm this $48 Montepulciano is of the Sangiovese varietal from Montepulciano D.O.C. The Chicken Scarpariello with the added option is also a more fulfilling meal than the Veal Martini and I can understand why it is a leading dish on the menu at Enzo's. I find it to be equally good too, so no downgrade in the rating. It highlights the consistency of the dishes served by the kitchen with steady chefs over the years. Marcello, my server, told no lies. The Double Cut Pork Chop ($33) was a bit more satisfying and delicious. It's thick, about two inches or more thick. They trimmed most of the fat, but left enough for added flavor. Notice the darkened color of the fat trim that has been seared and caramelized. Yum! The thick chop is cooked all the way through, but it's not tough or challenging to cut. It's still juicy and somewhat tender inside, with the added juice and flavor of the sauce. Over the escarole and pasta with garlic and dusted with Parmesan for that pop, your palate is in for a most satisfying experience. The Double Cut Pork Chop is one of those dishes that will keep people coming to Enzo's. It also paired better with the wine, given the heat from the hot cherry peppers was less pronounced and not overwhelming for the relatively low tannin and low acidity wine. I have had Sangiovese that drink a lot bigger and don't even mention the Brunellos. Enzo's of Williamsbridge is not overcharging in my opinion. They could have increased prices more on account of inflation, but they have not. Their loyal patrons would balk of they did. The dishes on the menu generally range from the high twenties to high thirties for generous servings. Wines by the bottle are reasonably priced and I can see why one would take your family here or take someone on a date here with the quality and value proposition served up consistently since 1998. Enzo's is a go to restaurant for many loyal patrons. I would and will return easily and can give Enzo's high marks. Just seat me inside the main dining room next time please. 4.0 very solid and consistent stars!

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.

Chicken was dried out like it had been sitting around for a long time, and stuffing was ...well...unidentified. Not sure what it was. Service was poor. All the waiters serve all the tables so no one seems to have a handle on what's going on. We ordered appetizer and mains and 10 minutes later another waiter asked if we had ordered. That waiter came back 3 times total to ask if we had ordered, even after we finished appetizers. Two tables next to us came in after, got appetizers and mains long before we finally asked where our food was.
