"Perhaps the most useful perk of living in New York is how easily you can get a big, saucy bowl of carbs and cheese when you need it. There are a lot of spots where you can make big hand gestures and ask for “mod-zarell,” but one of our favorites is a low-key restaurant on Arthur Ave. in the Bronx, opened by a married couple in 2002, though it feels much older. The Italian-born husband cooks carbonara, while his very NY wife is Tra Di Noi’s head host, enthusiastically explaining the chalkboard specials. This place has all the checkered-tablecloth charm you want from “the real Little Italy,” without becoming a caricature of the genre. Get whichever seafood special the next table over keeps gushing about." - sonal shah, bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, will hartman, willa moore, bryan kim, will hartman, bryan kim, sonal shah, willa moore, sonal shah, will hartman, neha talreja, neha talreja, sonal shah
