My younger one have the spaghetti and meatballs. I have the mussels for appetizer. My older son had a pork chop. Nothing comes with pasta or bread. Everything is separate. Which my son was disappointed. I was suggested the waiters give everybody a heads up just in case if you get a protein let them know that you need to get a side separate.
Ms. J. and I do the New York Botanical Garden first and then reward ourselves properly with pasta. As one should.
I ordered the Pasta al Forno, which showed up hot, cheesy, and very much not interested in being subtle. Comfort food doing the absolute most — baked, sauced, and bubbling like it knew it was the right choice. One would think “Boiled eggs in pasta?”, but trust me, the bechamel sauce takes it to the next level.
Ms. J. went for the daily special: Radiatori in Cartoccio, cooked inside a sealed pocket of aluminum foil and opened tableside like a little pasta reveal. Steamy, aromatic, and frankly a bit of a showoff — in the best possible way.
And then there was the Tiramisu.
We shared it (heroically), and I’m just going to say it: top-tier tiramisu. Not too sweet, beautifully balanced, rich without being heavy — one of the best we’ve had in NYC, and we do not make that claim lightly. We both love tiramisu. We both judge tiramisu. This one passed with stars.
Zero nonsense, big flavors, and a tradition that continues to age very well.
We’ll be back. Obviously.
I’m a lifelong New Yorker, but it was my first time on Arthur Avenue, but definitely not my last. I would definitely come back to try out their pizza.
It was my time at Zero Otto Nove. The people I was with eat here every year.
I liked the ambiance of the restaurant.
The food was sort of a disappointment. I ordered the Cacio Pepe, a dish I’ve always wanted to try. Someone else at the table ordered it also. It was missing the black pepper that’s supposed to be part of the dish, we had to ask for pepper to be put on the dish. Of the two wait staff we had only one had a smile on his face.
For dessert I tried the Profiterole. Which had nice sweet taste, filled with a nice tasting custard.
I don’t know if I would return to this restaurant, if I did I would try it when there isn’t a festival going on.
The drinks set the tone right away. The Passion Fruit Martini and Super Fruit Cosmo were both fantastic, and the Pinot Grigio was a perfect complement to the meal.
We started with the Grilled Octopus and Fried Calamari. Both were terrific and such an inviting way to kick off the evening.
For our mains, my wife and I had the Risotto alla Pescatore, which was rich, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Our daughters ordered the Pasta al Forno and the Margherita Pizza, and both dishes were outstanding.
Our server, Endrit, deserves a special shoutout. He, along with the rest of the team, provided excellent service and made us feel like family. That level of hospitality really made the night memorable.
Highly recommended. We will definitely be returning!
The portions were generous, and the flavors were rich. However, our dishes had more oil than we preferred—hopefully, it was olive oil rather than canola oil. Despite this, the dishes were still enjoyable. The service was friendly, though we had to wait about 20 minutes for a table.
