"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
"Zero Otto Nove is best known for their pizza like Madison Square Garden is best known for basketball. It’s by no means their only claim to fame, and in the case of this Italian spot on Arthur Ave in the Bronx, another one very much worth mentioning is their baked pasta. Whether you order the baked rigatoni with meatballs and soppressata, or mafalde and pancetta buried under pecorino and toasted breadcrumbs, you’ll forget they even serve pizza (though you should feel free to order a pie as well)." - matt tervooren

"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). Our advice is to generally opt for whatever the “pasta in foil” is that day, the meatball appetizer, and insalata di mare." - hannah albertine, nikko duren
"If you like the idea of eating a ton of red sauce pasta, fresh fish, and ending the night with sambuca and espresso in the middle of NYC’s true Little Italy, have dinner at Zero Otto Nove. A general rule of thumb while you’re eating at this classic Italian-American restaurant is to order whatever the “pasta in foil” is that day, the meatball appetizer, and a fresh and simple insalata di mare. We’d also recommend going out on a limb and trying any of the daily meat and fish specials." - hannah albertine
