Small place but the food was good. They had plenty of tables when we arrived and our group was able to sit right down. They have a full bar. The food was good, I enjoyed my pasta.

All around five stars. Small cozy place, small menu, big flavor. The staff were extremely polite and helpful, and the owner Bobby introduced himself and chatted with my wife and I for a short while. I wish nothing but the best for this lovely hole in the wall. A true gem on Arthur Ave.

Perfection! Cozy warm atmosphere. Food delicious! All 3 of us raved about it. Owner checked in with us multiple times. A quick Lyft/Uber ride from NY Botanical Gardens (Bronx). Very clean bathroom.

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Arthur Avenue
Nestled in the vibrant Little Italy of the Bronx, Piattini Café Bar Osteria is a culinary haven that beautifully merges authentic Italian flavors with a warm, inviting atmosphere. Owned by the passionate and talented duo, Victor and Bobby, this gem on Arthur Avenue offers more than just a meal – it delivers an unforgettable dining experience.
From the moment you step inside, the charm and ambiance of Piattini Café envelope you. Victor and Bobby have carefully curated every detail, from the cozy, rustic décor to the friendly, attentive staff that make you feel like part of the family. It’s this genuine hospitality, combined with culinary excellence, that truly sets Piattini apart.
The menu is a celebration of classic Italian dishes with a modern twist. Each plate is crafted with the freshest ingredients, sourced locally when possible, to ensure authentic flavors in every bite. Their small plates, or “piattini,” are perfect for sharing, making it an ideal spot for groups looking to try a variety of flavors. Standouts include the handmade pastas, bursting with rich sauces and perfectly balanced ingredients, and their seafood dishes, which bring a taste of the Mediterranean to Arthur Avenue.
One must-try is the signature “Bucatini all’Amatriciana,” a perfect blend of savory guanciale, tangy tomato sauce, and a touch of spice. And don’t miss the “Polpette,” tender meatballs in a rich marinara that are a tribute to Italian comfort food at its finest. Pair your meal with a selection from their curated wine list or a handcrafted cocktail, and you have a dining experience that feels like a mini-vacation to Italy.
For dessert, the Tiramisu is a masterpiece – light, fluffy, and expertly layered with rich flavors. Their espresso drinks also shine, perfect for a little pick-me-up to end your meal on a high note.
Victor and Bobby’s passion for their craft is evident in every aspect of Piattini Café Bar Osteria, from the thoughtfully prepared dishes to the warm and welcoming vibe. Whether you’re a Bronx local or visiting from afar, this spot is an absolute must-visit on Arthur Avenue. Piattini is more than just a restaurant – it’s a place where food, family, and friends come together in true Italian fashion.

We came here for lunch on a Saturday and the food was incredible! The pappardelle and pesto gnocchi were so delicious and felt like the pasta was freshly made. Portions were large and the prices were super reasonable. Also the clams… out of this world! The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, made us feel right at home. I would 100% recommend this spot! Thanks Vincent and Bobby for a great experience!
