A lovely lil restaurant with a lovely homey atmosphere. Food was delicious and fresh. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable. A great family owned establishment. Cannot recommend enough.

Had a terrific meal with friendly service. This place is still one of the best in Arthur Ave area. Quality meal at a fair price, not tourist overrun or glitzy, just great Italian food and the servers were very friendly!

We have been coming to Tra Di Noi for twenty years, usually for special family gatherings. I know of no other restaurant in NYC that has been so consistently excellent for so long. This is a mom and pop shop that with mom running the floor and pop running the kitchen. Old school charm. We came with a party of 12. For appetizers we ordered calamari fritti, mussels marechiaro, and the melon prosciutto. All delicious especially the calamari. For mains we had the soft shell crab, gnocchi, pork chop and sole meunierre specials as well as the veal scalloppine, polla scarpariello, rigatoni and linguine. House potatoes and string beans as sides. Everyone raved about their dishes. Dessert was equally fantastic including perfect Italian cheesecake! You need reservations during peak times. We love this cozy warm spot off Arthur Ave and will keep coming back as the food is to die for!

Best authentic family owned restaurant. It never disappoints! Pork chops, rabbit and sole are a must. Order off the specials. Best simple marinara sauce, which says it all

I was blown away by this magnificent authentic Italian restaurant!! It's everything you can imagine....all Italian from the table clothes to the decor, the friendly welcoming service! A chalkboard of specials; handmade burratta, pasta I'm still dreaming about. Wine selection is superb, get a bottle; you can take any left home with you. I don't live in NY but it's worth a trip to Bronx, NY to enjoy a meal here. An experience I can't wait to come back to. Thank you for welcoming us without a reservation.

One of the all-around best places I've eaten in NYC. Order the specials. They have a basic regular menu, but the only dish I've ever seen at this place that was less than stellar came off the regular menu, and the specials are always delicious. I'm still hoping to someday again come across the thing I had with fava beans my very first time there. Used to live nearby and it took me a bit to get the hang of making reservations in advance, but they were always so kind and professional and found a way to seat us, even as they begged us to make a reservation next time (which we finally did). Staff still remembers us even though we moved boroughs and now only go every 8-12 months. Can't get there on public transit without transfers and walking, but yes, it's still worth leaving our borough.

If you can get in? Do it. We got in late Afternoon on a Saturday, and had a gorgeous and leisurely meal. Roman Artichokes, Osso Buco in risotto, linguine vongole, the best Pork Chop on the planet, and a Pappardelle with Truffle sauce that was OCF THE CHAIN delicious..... Absolutely incredible experience in the Arthur Avenue neighborhood.

Delicious early dinner. I had the sole special with roasted potatoes and delicious string beans. My husband had the salmon special with spaghetti. The red wine was excellent. The service was on point and the atmosphere is comfortable and lovely! Highly recommend!!!
