Antonio's Trattoria

Took my mom here for lunch and it wasAbsolutely perfect. Amazing bread, wine from Italy and food like a grandma made it. The calamari was perfect especially the mariana sauce. I ordered chicken parm ala vodka to go and my girl loved it, she's begging me to take her now.

Antonio's is a staple on Belmont! It's one of the few vestiges of "Little Italy" in the Bronx. The food is exceptional! The menu is both authentic and intriguing. The cocktails are outstanding. Espresso and Cappuccino martinis are a must! The staff is warm, welcoming and attentive! If you're looking for a real Italian dining experience you have to visit Antonio's.

I love this restaurant, always fresh ingredientes and incredible service MUST VISIT!!!!

Such a classic restaurant in the heart of Little Italy.<br><br>The fresh bread, veal meatballs, and gnocchi were top notch!<br><br>Heavy and delicious house wine pours!<br><br>Service was great with a very Bronx Tale vibe. Would return!!

I’ve been sampling the Old Arthur Ave., Italian restaurants for a couple of years. None of them are the same as they were when I was growing up in the 1970s. But this place still has a familiar feeling and great service a welcoming attitude and a great bartender great music in the background. There’s still a couple of old souls that come to the bar. This is the first Italian restaurant in the Bronx that seems to have retained the old school warm, nostalgic vibe that I’ve been looking for.

Went with a girls group. Wine was delicious. Fresh bread and fresh house made pasta. Deserts were just as good as the main course. Christmas carolers came through! So magical. Highly recommend

After a recent trip to Italy, I was craving some good authentic Italian food. Antonio’s did not disappoint! I had the Arancini and the Lasagna; both were delicious.

Excellent food and atmosphere. The staff were so kind and funny 🙏🏽 thank you for my lovely experience.

Fantastic experience. I made a reservation for 14 of us - easy! Called to reconfirm a week prior - confirmed, easy! The staff was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and just all around super! We had a blast for my husband's 40th celebration and couldn't recommend more!

Food was amazing. Highly recommend the garlic knots parm style and Chicken Parm Ala Vodka! However, I do wish they gave more pasta with the dishes. Finished the pasta in a few scoops, seemed smaller than a kids order.

I rarely give 5 stars, but the food was amazing, service was attentive, prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere was warm.<br><br>The bread was fresh and very soft. The sausage Rotini Rugantini was creamy and heavenly. Chicken pharm pizza was absolutely delicious. Fried calamari was crispy. Tiramisu was light and not too sweet (which can be shared with 2-3 people).<br><br>Restrooms are clean. Wait time for seats were reasonable. Relaxed family environment. Credit cards accepted. Parking may be difficult.<br><br>The food was amazing! I would come back.

Antonio’s Trattoria is a nice spot for an Italian dinner. The menu has a decent selection from antipasti and salads to pastas, entrees, and pizzas. The dessert menu also has a good selection. Some vegetarian options depending on specific selections. A couple gluten free items noted on the menu. Pizzas offer gluten free crusts and we were told they bake them on a separate aluminum pan to limit cross contamination. Also told the use the same water to cook all pasta, each order in its own basket, sort of like how you would use a fryer. Service very attentive and effective. Worth a visit. Well suited for tables of ~10 as needed.

Antonio’s is exceptional! Everything we ordered was so delicious and full of flavor. Hands down, best chicken parm I have ever had! The staff was also so friendly and attentive. Make sure you do not skip dessert! They did a great birthday celebration as well. Thank you to Antonio’s for making our dinner so special!

Eh. After a long day of orchid-traipsing at the botanical garden, I'm glad we veered off the main Arthur Ave stretch to Antonio's because they were able to seat our tired feet right away--but I wouldn't rush back. Our lunch was a mixed bag.<br><br>The good:<br><br>- Baked Clams Oreganata: Delicious and generously portioned<br><br>- Arancini di Riso: Crisp and savory, but four wasn't really enough (we got 24 clams for the Oreganata, for reference)<br><br>The eh:<br><br>- Baked Ziti Sorrentino: Creamy and rich and large, but lacking in seasoning.<br><br>- Veal Parmigiana: The veal cutlet itself was very savory and well done, but it came with the same weird spaghetti.<br><br>The not great:<br><br>- Spaghetti with Meatballs: The sauce was weirdly lumpy and didn't mix well with the noodles, and the meatballs, though big, were dry and overcooked.<br><br>- Frutti di Mare: It had loads of seafood, but again, the tomato sauce was off.<br><br>Service was fine, but there are nicer, friendlier spots on AA. Ditto the decor, which isn't bad, but kinda dark and depressing compared to some of the fake frescos you'll see on AA.

This place was so good, I had it in my bookmarks for a while and have NO IDEA why I hadn’t been there before.<br><br>It was Saturday and we came with no reservation. I called beforehand to ask if they required reservations and he said we could come, as soon as we walked in the server recognized my voice, which was pretty great, and he sat us at a table next to the windows that he had gotten ready for us when I called.<br><br>Every person that came to our table was incredibly friendly and with such a sweet vibe.<br><br>We shared eggplant parmigiana for appetizer, and let me tell you, IT WAS THE BEST I HAVE HAD!!! We devoured it as soon as they brought, the delicious smell had us going crazy!! My and my mom LOVED IT!!!<br><br>For entree my mom chose Alfredo Fettuccini with chicken and I chose Spaghetti Carbonara, they were both delicious and savory but not salty and the pasta was cooked to perfection!!<br><br>For dessert we chose two of their homemade ones: Italian cheesecake and tiramisu. My mom LOVED the Italian cheesecake and we were actually pretty surprised to see it was nothing like American cheesecake, it had more like an actual cake texture and it was not too sweet, which she loved even more!<br>My tiramisu was definitely made in heaven, it was so delicious and soft, you could taste every ingredient but as a perfect combination, nothing was overpowering!!<br><br>We both left desiring to come back soon.<br>I have it on my list to come back specially because I want to try one of their tomato sauce pastas, that sauce from the eggplant parmigiana was nothing I had before, so delicious, so fresh, so much flavor!!!! Definitely going back soon!!
