I was having a romp through the famous Authur Ave. I was running out of gas and needed a place to repair. Enzo's is classey but that does not mean they are impersonal. Sitting at the bar was has much an experince as waking the street.This is what I can only hope for when its one time experience.

It seems to have your typical Italian cuisine but look more closely, or better yet, ask your waiter. The off-menu dishes sometimes gravitate to the menu proper. I've had sailfish carpaccio, elk, ostrich and many game meals that were terrific.AmbassadorCarl, thanks for your review. We're glad you got the chance to stop by for a great meal. You make some great choices when it comes to selecting meals. Our sailfish is an excellent choice. We'll be here waiting when you're ready to try more off-menu items. - Chef Rocco Sacramone

This long time Italian favorite is always a surprise in continuing good food and value in a heavily tourist area. The site itself is a welcome respite after touring lots of Italian shops and food stores. For those of us who love Italy and visit often, this restaurant recreates the atmosphere of an Italian plaza, with the food, wine and service reinforcing the feeling. Fun place for all.

This is a cute, cozy restaurant. Reservations are recommended. While the menu is small, there is a good variety of choices. Several of the pasta dishes can be made gluten-free, which was good and cooked properly. The portions are a reasonable size. The servers were pleasant and efficient. The whipped cream and berries was delicious with freshly whipped, not too sweet, whipped cream. The cappuccino was also good. They have soy milk if you're not into dairy. It is a bit pricey. It is located on a small street in Harlem. There is free street parking in the area.

Arthur Avenue section of the Bronx. It was fantastic!
Reviewed By StevensAve
The Arthur Avenue/Belmont section of the Bronx is a NYC treasure and worth the detour. With Manhattanâs Little Italy nearly subsumed by Chinatown, this Bronx Little Italy delivers the goods. Our favorite restaurant is Antonioâs. Just off of Arthur Avenue, do not miss this restaurant. Each Boro has a throwback Italian restaurant. For us, this is the one in the Bronx. First and foremost, the food is excellent. Tasty, tasty, tasty. Service is excellent too and we enjoyed meeting Melissa when we ate there. If Marisa Tomei had a kid sister it would be Melissa, including the (authentic) attitude. All the Italian favorites are on the menu from fried calamari to several different parmigianas. Fish, chicken, meat and pasta of all types - served al dente - is well represented. We did not get around to the pizzas. Next time. And, what is an Italian meal without vino: our Montepulciano was delish and reasonably priced. Finally, from the time you walk in till the time you walk out you are family. I never shook so many hands in my life.

After visiting the botanical gardens, feeling peckish and craving pizza we checked our go to on-line adviser and off we drove 20 minutes to this homey pizzeria. Servers smiled and warmly greeted us as we entered. The space appears small but there was a sunny welcoming outdoor dining area. We felt as if we were dining at the home a a friend. My slice had the requirements of good pizza; thin crispy crust with a hint of salt that crunches just a bit when I sliced my incisors through it with a thin layer of cheese that when pulled from my teeth formed a string from my mouth to the slice. A light layer of sauce added a bit of acid and sweetness that enhanced the flavors. The pizza was not oily. Priced at $3.25; a bit expensive.OK, now the CALZONES; the best I ever had. A variety of these cheese stuffed breads were available. I had the broccoli rabe. It was huge, enough for dinner. The crust was nicely thin yet thick enough to hold the savory ingredients, slightly salty filled with mozzarella cheese and fresh tasting broccoli rabe. I side of red sauce for dipping added sweet, salty moisture. My husband had the chicken parm. calzone; he gobbled it up so quickly, I just know he enjoyed it. Each were reasonably priced at $6.50Things to know, ample parking, cash only, ATM available and no delivery.
