Super down-to-earth Italian restaurant with lot of pastas and veggies on the menu. The pasta was great, you could see some imperfections on each noodle, so I assume it was fresh! My favorite dish though was definitely the broccoli. It was cooked to perfection and tasted incredible with the garlic sauce.

I was here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon; it was my first visit to Arthur Avenue. The calamari was perfectly fried, the pastas done nicely and the osso bucco special was delicious. The ambience is nice and old school. The waiters were knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. I want to come here every Sunday!

July 2023: Enjoyed a delicious dinner. My friend has been going here for years and shared one of his favorite restaurants with us. We started with a cold anti pasta plate. Really a tasty dish with meat, cheese, olives 🫒, lettuce. Paired very nicely with bread 🍞. By the way, the bread 🍞 was tasty 😋. Then we had broccoli rabe with sausage and linguine. This was a tasty pasta with lots of garlic. Then we had a seafood stew with a side of pasta and red sauce. Lots of seafood: tile fish, calamari, lobster, shrimp, mussels. Muy delicioso. Then we had the chicken scarpariello. This chicken was super delicious! I wish I could make this at home. Wonderful blend of spiciness and acidicness. Like the poppadew peppers! We really had a great dinner. Looking forward to coming back again for more delicious food!

Can’t say enough about this charming old school Italian bistro perfect for family dining. I picked this place because the review I read said “it’s more like a neighborhood food hall. Long tables & the waiters verbally provide the menu.” This is my style. I wasn’t disappointed. Easy to get a table for one and I was pampered and showered with love & attention from the busboy, waiter, bartender and owner. The food was quick and AMAZING! Authentic and fresh. The bread was delicious and with the evoo , chef’s kisses. House wine was great & I got out of there for a mere $45. Cash only.

Amazing food at an amazing establishment. I recently celebrated a birthday here and we had about 20 people attend. The restaurant was great, they put us on the 2nd floor away from everyone else and closed us off to the rest of the patrons for privacy. The food was amazing, hands down 5 stars across the board for food and service. The owner Charlie is a great guy for trying to get the people back to some form of normalcy by getting people to eat inside the restaurant versus outside. 👍🇮🇹

Cozy family style restaurant serving authentic southern Italian cuisine. Started in 1962, this place is where people come from near and far, the owner Charlie greets all customers warmly with a pleasant smile! If you are looking for a family style comfort food experience this is your go to place!

A friend had recommended this place and so we tried it. It’s definitely a no-frills kind of environment so you definitely don’t go for the service. They are very fast and efficient but it feels more of an effort to flip the table. We sat downstairs, but there’s also a large area upstairs that had seating and was a lot quieter. The dishes are HUGE and 2-3 people could split a main dish with the portion sizes. The chicken Parmesan hit the spot and I’d come back for that alone. We also tried the stuffed artichoke, but it wasn’t great.

Went for lunch and sat out side. Service was fast to get us seated and get our orders in. Fried calamari (friday only) was really good. Thick cut and nicely battered and fried. linguine and clams was okay. Chicken parm was okay. Servings were plentiful for two people and well priced. Typical red sauce Italian spot, simple and rustic.

We hadn’t been to Dominick’s in years, so we decided to return for a good old-fashioned Italian family-style meal. We had to run to the ATM since this is a cash only restaurant. The servers were very nice and helpful with suggestions. To start, we ordered two portions of calamari, stuffed artichokes, Italian bread, and a few cocktails. The calamari was bland, and the bread was cold, but the stuffed artichokes and cocktails were spot on. The fettuccine was also very bland I didn’t care for it at all but my wife and the rest of the group loved it. The baked ziti, chicken parm, and meatballs, on the other hand, were big hits. Overall, it was a mixed experience, and we probably won’t be back for another 25 years. There are a lot of other great Italian restaurants in the Bronx worth revisiting!
