Great Italian restaurant!<br>Excellent cocktails.<br>Fresh and delicious food — a bit simple for my taste, but still very flavorful.<br>A must-visit if you’re in the area.
I came here today to celebrate a dream 14 years in the making, since the day I first arrived in this country. I finally made it happen, and I decided to celebrate this milestone with myself at Enzo’s. Everything was outstanding.<br>The food was incredible. My mother lived in Italy for a long time and my stepfather is Italian, so I know a bit about the cuisine, but I was honestly surprised by the play of flavors in the pasta and seafood—everything was so fresh and perfectly balanced. I thought the portion might be small, so I ordered fries just in case, but the pasta was actually more than enough!<br>I sat at the bar because there were no tables available, but I felt so lucky because I got to meet Xiomara. She is the best! The service she provided was excellent, and she made the whole experience even better. I recommend this place 100%.<br><br>Xiomara, you’re the best!
We wanted to stop by little Italy on the way to LI to check it out. Didn’t plan much along. 2 locals recommended it and I’m so glad we listened. So clean, wonderful staff, great food! Would recommend to others.
Enzo’s is definitely the best restaurant in Little Italy, Bronx. Food is absolutely exceptional: we had focaccia with figs, cheese and prosciutto, pasta della nonna, lasagna with meatballs and an amazing pasticciotto for dessert that brought me back home to Italy. And Liliana is the most sweet, kind and friendly waitress you can ask for. She makes the whole experience worth it!
Clams oreganato was amazing (not pictured) pasta al forno and CHICKEN CAPRICCIOSA were as delicious as shown. The cutlet cannot be put into words, it will spoil you as only nonna could. Service was outstanding also, our server suggested other places in the neighborhood that were well worth exploring
Hands down the BEST Italian restaurant in the Bronx! The food was AMAZING. The service was on point. Don’t think about it, just come and enjoy!
We stopped by Enzo’s en route to the Botanical Gardens. My first time on Arthur Ave and was a treat. We didn’t have a reservation and the wait was over 30min, but they had some heated seating on the patio which was perfect.<br><br>The food was delicious. The wine/liquor list left a bit to be desired. Service was attentive and we were in and out pretty quickly.
First time trying Enzo’s of Arthur Avenue while visiting our friend, who recently moved to Bronx and recommended this spot. The three of us decided to try it since it’s only about five blocks from his place.<br><br>Our main server (an older gentleman) was very cool, welcoming, and made us feel comfortable right away. However, service was a bit inconsistent—another server placed the food down without much interaction, and we had to ask for butter for the bread.<br><br>The food was very good. The pizza was amazing and a must-order. And the cannoli? Hands down the best cannoli I’ve ever had.<br><br>Overall, great food with mostly good service—definitely worth trying if you’re in the area.
I just moved to this area and was thrilled to begin my Little Italy dining journey…Enzo's was first up. While the restaurant boasts an upscale vibe and excellent atmosphere, the food and service were a bit disappointing.<br><br>I ordered the lasagna, recommended by the waiter) and it came out undercooked. The structure of the dish was poor, as the entire cheese layer separated and slid off on the first bite.<br><br>Compounding the issue, the service after the food arrived was lacking. My server took about 20 min after my dish arrived to check on me…big pet peeve.<br><br>For a restaurant with such a sophisticated ambiance, and great reviews…the execution of both the main dish and basic table service was surprisingly poor.<br><br>I will definitely give it another shot and hopefully this was just a bad day.
So delicious - We had a great time here. The bread was good, the eggplant appetizer was good, the service was great!<br><br>Vodka pasta cooked al dente was beautiful and creamy, and the Branzino was cooked so well; even the broccolini was flavorful and everything just complemented each other nicely. Would go back again. They have a great wine selection as well. Seems like a local staple on Arthur Ave.
One of the Best Italian restaurants in the Bronx. The food was fresh and delicious. My waiter, Sebastian was so nice. I came on a Saturday afternoon and it quick got packed. This place is worth it. The pesto pasta was delicious, the chicken parm was so tasty and you can taste the fresh tomatoes. I ended it with my favorite desert, a tiramisu. It was absolutely divine. Will definitely be back.
Visiting for work. Got the margarita pizza with garlic, bread, chicken parmesean with penne pasta, olive oil sherbet and tiramisu. Super good all of it. Staff is very nice
Decent Italian spot in the heart of The Bronx’s Little Italy. Our large group was well accommodated at a nice round table in the corner. I was not impressed with the food the same way I have been at other places in this neighborhood. The dishes were good but nothing great. Unfortunately the desserts really left something to be desired. I would choose a different place to experience the Italian food culture of this neighborhood.
I had an amazing experience at Enzo’s in Little Italy! Typically, you need to call ahead for reservations, but we decided to take a chance on a Monday, and we were lucky enough to get a spot. We did have to wait for a table, but the bar area was a great alternative, and we ended up sitting there. The bartender was fantastic, and the whole staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. The wine selection was excellent, and I enjoyed a few glasses of delicious, well-priced wine.<br><br>The restaurant itself is small but beautifully designed – cozy, yet sophisticated, and perfect for a family meal. My only complaint was being seated near the door, as the smoke from people outside filtered in. The food was outstanding – everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.<br><br>I can’t wait to return with my kids next time! Highly recommend Enzo’s for a fantastic meal in the heart of Little Italy!
