I went here with my partner during a spontaneous trip into Little Italy. After looking at a few options, we settled on Tra Di Noi. We did not have a reservation but the staff were very kind and accommodating. The food was wonderful. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff were attentive, informative, friendly and helpful.
Having eaten there once, I would make a trip if I'm anywhere near NYC just to come again. I also recommend walking around the neighborhood afterwards as the little bakeries are very good as well.

A quaint gem on 187th in the Bronx. You feel like you are in Italy with the rustic Italian decor and checkered table clothes. The owners are always present. Husband is the chef and the wife is the very gracious hostess. The service is attentive and staff is/are always very friendly. And ooooh the food…. delicious, amazing and cooked to perfection! I love the Tripe, rice balls, calamari, osso buoco, baked clams, and I can go on and on. The food is always spot on in flavors and choices. Authentic Italian cuisine that does not disappoint! One more mention…the wine list is great! You must get the Montepulciano!

This is an excellent and authentic family owned Italian restaurant. The food was top notch and the service was pleasant and personable. The bread on the table was so fresh and crusty, loved it. Our veal entrees were perfection. Highly recommended.

Restaurant with 90s decor. Correct service. Food ok, sauces were very good. I think my expectations were too high before arriving and that I perhaps made the wrong choices for me.

Visited this establishment on my birthday and I can definitely say it did not pass the vibe check. Nobody was inside but since the reviews were good we wanted to try it for an appetizer and a glass of wine. Once we ordered all eyes were on us. We ordered the clams and they were average at best. Once we finished our 3 glasses of wine and one appetizer that was literally 5 clams we kindly asked for the bill. We were met with immense hostility and were told we needed to order a main course in order to be able to pay and leave… we said we were not told that when we initially sat down and that we just wanted to pay and leave. The server blamed it on the owner and we requested to speak to him. Once he came over all we got was weird excuses as to why we had to order the main. He told us he had so many reservations and we were taking up a table when there was LITERALLY one other table and we were literally asking to leave. The owner stormed away and we asked for the bill again and waited for another five minutes until we were literally forced to have to go up and ask for it. If you want us to leave because you’re so busy then give us the freaking bill. Food was mid service was despicable. For an 80 dollar meal go to Enzo’s.

Excellent ! Came highly recommended, Went for an early lunch. The staff did everything possible to make sure my mother and I were completely satisfied from the moment we sat.Food is scrumptious! Started with the stuffed artichoke. Could've eaten a basket of the bread alone. Next came my gnocchi sorrentino special which I closed my eyes and delighted in one gnocchi at a time. I didn't want to finish my plate too quickly. Mom had an incredible lasagna with bolognese sauce. A wonderful Italian beer and Pinot grigio accompanied this fantastic lunch.

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.
Wheelchair accessibility: Front entrance might be a snug fit — I always feel like I can barely get through if I'm carrying a coat or bag — but it is wheelchair accessible, and then maybe that's just my clumsiness.

Wandered in one late Saturday for lunch, and got the last two-top. The food was outstanding. Had the Clams Oreganate, a special pasta w fava beans, ofc the arancini, and the star of the show, the pork chop. Completely blown away! Plus the staff is lovely. Go!
