The 27 Best Italian Restaurants In New York City - New York - The Infatuation

"Arthur Avenue in the Bronx has plenty of places with decent red sauce fare. But Tra Di Noi is the only restaurant of the bunch where we can order anything off the chalkboard specials, and come out 100% satisfied. The 15-ish specials change every night, but expect things like meaty swordfish topped with crisp bread crumbs, and chicken marsala that pulls apart with the touch of a fork. Tra Di Noi opened in 2002, but it feels older, with checkerboard-tablecloth charm, a welcoming staff, and regulars who gush about how good the branzino is as soon as you sit down." - bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, tiffany yannetta
