Arthur Avenue Italian Restaurant Serving Neapolitan Comfort
An Arthur Avenue Italian restaurant for burrata, lasagna and tartufo, served with old-school warmth from a 1919 institution.
🍷 A Full Neapolitan Dinner
Mario's Restaurant of Arthur Avenue is the Arthur Avenue Italian restaurant for a proper Neapolitan comfort dinner, and it has been feeding the Bronx from 1919 onward. Meals open with a selection of olive oils and spicy pickled carrots.
From there the kitchen keeps it straightforward, with paper-thin prosciutto over creamy burrata, rich lasagna, and manicotti with melty ricotta. Save room for dessert, where the move is the tartufo, a chocolate-coated gelato ball with a fudge center, though tiramisu is on the menu too.
The draw is the service. Staff aim to make you feel like a regular even on a first meal, and the traditional dining room stays active, occasionally with a singer. Find it at 2342 Arthur Ave, with valet parking on hand. It is closed Monday, open half past eleven AM to 9 PM Tuesday through Thursday and Sunday, and until 10 PM on Friday and Saturday.
