East Morrisania Restaurants

I have been coming here forever and have never been disappointed. Food is always fresh and delicious. Staff is attentive,courteous and friendly,but always professional. This is NOT an American-Italian restaurant ,so no parm’s etc. Freshly cooked ,so when crowded your entrees will take time,but well worth it

Everything about our experience was wonderful! On a typically busy neighborhood street, they had free valet parking when you pull up. Our reservation was immediately noted and we were given very comfortable seating. The wait staff was more-than-appropriately attentive and uber-professional. The timing of the plating was perfect and each new course was served without much overlap with the one that was presented prior. The dishes were very tasty and cooked exactly right. The swordfish dinner was perfect. The Vongole Oreganata (clams) was delicious, but the breading was a bit excessive. Nevertheless...very, very enjoyable. The meal concluded with an amazing cannoli and a Manhattan tartufo. Espresso was a must, and perhaps the best tasting brew in our experience. When we exited the restaurant, our car was already waiting at the door. Marios is a restaurant we have every intention of eating at again (...and again). (Personal note: My family used to dine at Mario's when I was a young child growing up in the Bronx. Mario's granddaughter still runs the family restaurant, greeting us at the door. The experience hasn't dimmed one iota in the 60 years that have elapsed since!!)

Emilia’s has been our go-to place in the Bronx for a nice family-run atmosphere and authentic Italian food. Arthur Avenue is the epicenter of Little Italy in the Bronx and there are literally a dozen restaurants in a three-block span. We have never been disappointed here and the quality has been maintained even during the Covid period. For traditional Italian food, Emilia’s can’t be beat.

This was such an unexpected pleasant experience! Everyone should go to White Castle for Valentine’s Day atleast once. Great for families and small kids!

It was my husband and I first time doing this for valentines day. I wish they had played some nice music made a little more romantic. The person that waited on us was a sweet heart. They should had someone taking orders and making sure everything was okay. That poor child had to take our orders and the people coming in for takeout orders also. That's a lot for one person. All in all it was an okay experience.
