There are only about 10 tables in this family-run restaurant, and the place is almost always full at lunchtime. With good reason. The food is outstanding, the servings are substantial, and the service is unfailingly friendly. This has been my family's go-to Italian restaurant in the Bronx for many years, and we've never had a disappointing meal.
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.
Love the small town feel you get from the moment you enter until you leave. This place is all about love. I'm not a big salt guy but in this case it needed it but besides that the food was delicious but for the show stopper was the cheesecake. One of the best I've ever had. It was airy but most importantly it wasn't sugary.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tra di noi, an authentic Italian gem nestled in the heart of Little Italy. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was transported to the charming streets of Italy, and the culinary experience that followed was nothing short of extraordinary.
The Fettuccini Carbonara was a revelation, perfectly al dente pasta coated in a velvety sauce that harmoniously blended eggs, cheese, and pancetta. Each bite was a symphony of flavors that left me craving more.
The Fried Calamari was a crispy delight, expertly seasoned and paired with a zesty dipping sauce. It showcased the chef's skill in balancing textures and tastes, making it a delightful appetizer that set the stage for the feast to come.
The Octopus Salad was a refreshing surprise, featuring tender octopus combined with crisp vegetables and a citrus-infused dressing. The medley of flavors danced on my palate, creating a perfect harmony of the sea and garden.
The attentive staff at Tra di noi added to the overall experience, providing excellent service without intruding on the intimate atmosphere. The ambiance was cozy, with an authentic charm that complemented the exquisite cuisine.
In conclusion, Tra di noi is a culinary haven for those seeking a genuine taste of Italy in the heart of Little Italy. The Fettuccini Carbonara, Fried Calamari, and Octopus Salad are not just dishes; they are masterpieces that showcase the passion and expertise of the kitchen. If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Tra di noi is the place to be. Buonissimo!
My friend an I had a wonderful experience here. We did not have a reservation and they fit us in anyway! They didn't turn anyone away while we were there and worked to fit everyone in. Edit - but making a reservation is advised!
The service was prompt and everyone was so friendly. They were busy but the staff felt relaxed and friendly. They were so helpful and answered all of our questions.
The food was delicious. They timed the dishes so we weren't rushed and they let us take our time and enjoy ourselves. They packed up our leftovers. The owners came out to check-in with everyone - it was a fun experience.
I hope you take a time to visit this restaurant!
Excellent food. Great service. Very authentic and better than what you’d get in Manhattan at half the price. Large portions and good bread + veg with every meal.
Make a reservation over the phone. Very old school.
This place is an absolute gem. A group of us discovered this special little spot a few years ago, and we keep coming back and love introducing others. It's a homey place, with classic Italian dishes that are cooked to perfection and extraordinarily tasty. The husband and wife team, husband (chef) and wife (front of the house) make a fantastic duo. There passion is felt throughout. Lori is always welcoming and thrives on seeing everyone enjoy their meal. Her husband never disappoints. The prices are earthly and a bottle of nice Italian wine won't break the bank, either. Favorites include the tripe and pork chop.
We have true love for Tra Di Noi. The specials board or the menu, you will be swept away to childhood memories or Italy 🇮🇹 this visit we indulged on seafood salad, mussels, the burrata (!!), veal Marsala, veal parmigiana, and rigatoni with their tomato sauce. Plus desserts!!
Suggest reservations on the weekend.
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!
The food was Excellent. The owners and staff were friendly and made us feel very comfortable. Will def go again. Thank you.
I am Italian. Is rare that I find an Italian restaurant that I love! What makes this place so special is the food is from all over Italy- chef trained from northern Italy to Rome to Sicily and the Dishes all reflect that magnificent homestyle cooking.. Great service. You must try the eggplant Rollatini appetizer. Veal and sole were excellent.
Just a short block and a half walk from the busting Arthur Avenue you'll stumble upon this gem of a restaurant. Chef Marco and his wife Laurie are the most welcoming of hosts. The food speaks for itself. Burratta, made in house, is delicate and flavorful. Pastas are cooked to perfection and seafood is of utmost freshness. The service team is phenomenal. Matilda and Todd are extremely welcoming and truly accommodate you! True Italian restaurant makes you feel like your in Italy! Always a pleasure when I'm here. FYI it's BYOW (bring your own wine- corking fee is $20)
Food was excellent..red wine was really good but overall a little pricey for lunch on a rainy day..portions could been bigger

Best Italian food in Arthur Ave area. They serve home cook meat on red and white table cloth. Don't forget to check daily special board.
Everything at Tra Di Noi was phenomenal. Service was excellent and unobtrusive and the owners are lovely people. Highly recommended.
The Bronx Little Italy has no shortage of Italian American spots that serve a pretty consistent menu. Tra Di Noi is a bit different. Sure they have the classics, Parms and Pastas, the specials board is where the magic is and where you have the option to try something different.
The atmosphere is great, with the classic red and white tablecloths. There is ample outdoor seating. The wine is also very reasonably priced. Reservations over the phone are recommended.
One of the best Italian dishes I’ve ever had in NYC. Will certainly return for the meatballs on Sundays. Thanks for the hospitality Lauri!
