What to order: Spicy Rigatoni Vodka · Penne Vodka · Spaghetti & Meatballs · Chicken Alla VodkaHad such an amazing dinner at Frankie’s Ristorant tonight with my friends. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm, lively, and so welcoming, it felt like the perfect classic Little Italy experience. The servers were absolutely incredible (shoutout to Desa and Silvi), attentive, friendly, and made us feel so taken care of all night. Every single dish that came out was delicious. Honestly, we left nothing on the plate because everything was THAT good. The portions were generous, the

What to order: Mofongos with four cheeses · Churrasco Mofongo · Tostones Sliders · Guanábana (soursop) juiceOkay so today, Saturday, May 2nd I ran the 10k course by the Bronx Community College. I planned with my girlfriend to come here after the race. We arrived a bit before 1PM. There were only 2 tables seated so it wasn’t full yet. This was our 1st time here so we didn’t know that this place fills up quickly. So we were lucky to be seated right away at a 2 top by the window. We had no clue what to order, so many options and after a waitress came by we asked for more time. A younger waiter came and w

What to order: Chicken Parm alla Vodka · Fettuccine Alfredo · Penne alla Vodka · Lasagna di CasaGreat spot for families. The food is consistently solid here. Good chicken parm. Wish it was a little crunchier but the sauce is fantastic and it’s the right thickness. Carbonara is good. Meatballs are solid. Calamari is prepared perfectly. The tiramisu is incredible and you can’t top the Nutella pizza. That’s a real crow pleaser. The staff here are great, typical enthusiast New Yorkers, proud to be from the Bronx.

What to order: Homemade Lasagna · Fettuccine Alfredo · Clams Oreganata · Any Veal DishMario’s of Arthur Avenue—Where Time Stands Still and Service Means Something This place is old school in all the good ways. The waiter was exceptionally well-trained and provided a level of service that’s become virtually extinct in this city. It feels like peering through a window into an era when they had your table waiting and your favorite dish already on the way. They started us with a selection of olive oils and pickled carrots that were aggressively spicy in the best possible way—sharp,

What to order: Penne a La Vodka with Chicken · Luna Seafood Salad · Banja Luka sandwich · BurekI will give 5 starts for the food, they are delicious, love everything I got. 3 star for the service because some of them are nice and welcoming, others are not 1 for the atmosphere because how much people are smoking. They have an “indoor outdoor” area that allow smoking. The issue is the outdoor area is connected to the indoor and they never shut the door so essentially the heavy smoke traveled everywhere. My allergies flared up so bad after my meal. If you have sinus issues, allergies or just

This is basically my local sushi spot and it's not bad. I've also enjoyed their Katsu and Teriyaki. Most of what I've had was pretty good however the location is meh. I'm probably getting 3 rolls tomorrow. This isn't a dine in kinda spot, I've packed up my order or had it delivered.

Easygoing restaurant offering classic burgers & sushi, plus chicken wings & cocktails.
First time experience. What had me sold was their happy hour ending at 9:00P. I didn't care for the atmosphere since the majority of the guests where "extremely young" and all you saw was this group or that group doing the latest viral dance or with their phones high in the air recording themselves singing a song (not even paying attention to their "fake" hair hitting guests multiple times). The closeness of the tables was annoying as well. I feel the DJ only catered towards the younger crowd, w

Honestly, so dissatisfied & disappointed in the way the quality/service went down after they opened. I used to come so often and everything was great until recently. In one of my most recent orders , I ordered the Dubai chocolate strawberries. It cost $16 but comes out to around $18 for the cup with taxes. For the price I expected a nicely filled cup , but what I received was literally just strawberries. I paid $18 for a cup of strawberries and a splash of pistachio and a touch of chocolate. Whe

This wine bar is a GEM. The atmosphere is super cozy and welcoming with impeccable interior design down to the exposed brick that looks a bit like earthy coffee beans. It feels European and festive and the staff is extremely kind, attentive. Great place to catch up with friends or go on a date. I think there’s also live music in the evenings in the weekends.

My wife and daughter and I were at the Bronx Zoo when I craved a Cuban sandwich. I searched for Cuban sandwiches and found this restaurant, which was just a 10-minute drive away.
