Tra Di Noi

There are only about 10 tables in this family-run restaurant, and the place is almost always full at lunchtime. With good reason. The food is outstanding, the servings are substantial, and the service is unfailingly friendly. This has been my family's go-to Italian restaurant in the Bronx for many years, and we've never had a disappointing meal.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tra di noi, an authentic Italian gem nestled in the heart of Little Italy. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was transported to the charming streets of Italy, and the culinary experience that followed was nothing short of extraordinary. The Fettuccini Carbonara was a revelation, perfectly al dente pasta coated in a velvety sauce that harmoniously blended eggs, cheese, and pancetta. Each bite was a symphony of flavors that left me craving more. The Fried Calamari was a crispy delight, expertly seasoned and paired with a zesty dipping sauce. It showcased the chef's skill in balancing textures and tastes, making it a delightful appetizer that set the stage for the feast to come. The Octopus Salad was a refreshing surprise, featuring tender octopus combined with crisp vegetables and a citrus-infused dressing. The medley of flavors danced on my palate, creating a perfect harmony of the sea and garden. The attentive staff at Tra di noi added to the overall experience, providing excellent service without intruding on the intimate atmosphere. The ambiance was cozy, with an authentic charm that complemented the exquisite cuisine. In conclusion, Tra di noi is a culinary haven for those seeking a genuine taste of Italy in the heart of Little Italy. The Fettuccini Carbonara, Fried Calamari, and Octopus Salad are not just dishes; they are masterpieces that showcase the passion and expertise of the kitchen. If you're looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Tra di noi is the place to be. Buonissimo!

My friend an I had a wonderful experience here. We did not have a reservation and they fit us in anyway! They didn't turn anyone away while we were there and worked to fit everyone in. Edit - but making a reservation is advised! The service was prompt and everyone was so friendly. They were busy but the staff felt relaxed and friendly. They were so helpful and answered all of our questions. The food was delicious. They timed the dishes so we weren't rushed and they let us take our time and enjoy ourselves. They packed up our leftovers. The owners came out to check-in with everyone - it was a fun experience. I hope you take a time to visit this restaurant!

I am Italian. Is rare that I find an Italian restaurant that I love! What makes this place so special is the food is from all over Italy- chef trained from northern Italy to Rome to Sicily and the Dishes all reflect that magnificent homestyle cooking.. Great service. You must try the eggplant Rollatini appetizer. Veal and sole were excellent.

This place is an absolute gem. A group of us discovered this special little spot a few years ago, and we keep coming back and love introducing others. It's a homey place, with classic Italian dishes that are cooked to perfection and extraordinarily tasty. The husband and wife team, husband (chef) and wife (front of the house) make a fantastic duo. There passion is felt throughout. Lori is always welcoming and thrives on seeing everyone enjoy their meal. Her husband never disappoints. The prices are earthly and a bottle of nice Italian wine won't break the bank, either. Favorites include the tripe and pork chop.

We have true love for Tra Di Noi. The specials board or the menu, you will be swept away to childhood memories or Italy 🇮🇹 this visit we indulged on seafood salad, mussels, the burrata (!!), veal Marsala, veal parmigiana, and rigatoni with their tomato sauce. Plus desserts!! Suggest reservations on the weekend.
