Master Critic Review

Antonio's Trattoria 8.7
Belmont
A few blocks off Arthur Avenue, Antonio’s Trattoria has been drawing steady crowds since the late 2000s with a long menu of red-sauce Italian and a strong focus on fresh pastas and lasagna di casa. It feels more like a busy neighborhood dining room than a destination temple, which is exactly why locals return weekly.
Must-Try Dishes: Lasagna di Casa, Chicken Parmigiana, Gnocchi Bolognese

What makes it special: Bustling neighborhood trattoria where Nonna-style pastas headline a huge menu.
Who should go: Families and groups craving classic Bronx Italian.
When to visit: Early evenings or weeknights to avoid peak waits.
What to order: Lasagna di casa, chicken parm, gnocchi Bolognese.
Insider tip: Consider sharing an antipasti and pasta before mains—portions are generous.
