Zero Otto Nove

"Go on a date at Zero Otto Nove on Arthur Avenue, and, if it doesn’t go well, you’ll at least be eating the best pizza in The Bronx. If you do hit it off, the wood-fired Neapolitan pies here will only make things better." - team infatuation

"If the sheer number of Italian spots on Arthur Avenue overwhelms you because you can’t decide where to go, we’re here to make your decision easy. Head to Zero Otto Nove. This place works well for almost any situation. Order the insalata di mare with seven different types of seafood in addition to the comforting baked rigatoni and meatballs smothered with melted mozzarella. Try to get a table in the main dining room, which is painted to look like a courtyard in Italy. It’s a little cheesy, but charming nonetheless." - neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick

The restaurant’s heated outdoor space seats about 30 people." - Tanay Warerkar, Eater Staff

"If you’re in the Arthur Avenue area, celebrate with whatever special sounds best to you at Zero Otto Nove (a famous, old-school Italian restaurant with outdoor dining).
