Best restaurants near me in Bronx, NY

I have been coming here forever and have never been disappointed. Food is always fresh and delicious. Staff is attentive,courteous and friendly,but always professional. This is NOT an American-Italian restaurant ,so no parm’s etc. Freshly cooked ,so when crowded your entrees will take time,but well worth it

Everything about our experience was wonderful! On a typically busy neighborhood street, they had free valet parking when you pull up. Our reservation was immediately noted and we were given very comfortable seating. The wait staff was more-than-appropriately attentive and uber-professional. The timing of the plating was perfect and each new course was served without much overlap with the one that was presented prior. The dishes were very tasty and cooked exactly right. The swordfish dinner was perfect. The Vongole Oreganata (clams) was delicious, but the breading was a bit excessive. Nevertheless...very, very enjoyable. The meal concluded with an amazing cannoli and a Manhattan tartufo. Espresso was a must, and perhaps the best tasting brew in our experience. When we exited the restaurant, our car was already waiting at the door. Marios is a restaurant we have every intention of eating at again (...and again). (Personal note: My family used to dine at Mario's when I was a young child growing up in the Bronx. Mario's granddaughter still runs the family restaurant, greeting us at the door. The experience hasn't dimmed one iota in the 60 years that have elapsed since!!)

Good menu and great food. If you are looking for a place where you can enjoy your meal in a an atmosphere that is less noisy than some of the other places on Arthur Ave., this is it.

Emilia’s has been our go-to place in the Bronx for a nice family-run atmosphere and authentic Italian food. Arthur Avenue is the epicenter of Little Italy in the Bronx and there are literally a dozen restaurants in a three-block span. We have never been disappointed here and the quality has been maintained even during the Covid period. For traditional Italian food, Emilia’s can’t be beat.

Lovely small Italian restaurant on Arthur Avenue, if you’re looking for a more intimate and rustic experience this is it. Incredible Burrata appetizer, really lovely employees. Will be back.
