Restaurants near Grand Avenue Playground

Valentines Day at Roberto’s…. Wonderful! No expensive fixed price menu, no jacked up prices, no over-crowding or rush yo flip the table. Just the usual menu, wonderful service and comfortable atmosphere. The one change, Long stem roses on every table.

Great dining experience! This is a classic old school authentic italian restaurant that brings one back to the 50’s or 60’s. The food was delicious and served piping hot. We went for the classics. My veal parmigiana was probably the best I have ever had; incredibly tender with a fabulous red sauce. My wife had eggplant parmigiana which was absolutely perfect. I had pasta fagioli soup to start which had wonderful flavor and texture. Our server, Albana? was very friendly and courteous and the service was outstanding! We will definitely be back here making sure to bring our friends!!

I had a ball I really enjoyed my 45th birthday with my family. The food and drinks were very good.

The food was amazing. Very bright, playful, and flavorful for this year’s orchid show. I had the Salmon cooked medium and it had a luscious fullness with a beautiful crispy skin. If you do dessert try the nube de guava. The cute trifle will definitely make you smile.

Emilia’s has been our go-to place in the Bronx for a nice family-run atmosphere and authentic Italian food. Arthur Avenue is the epicenter of Little Italy in the Bronx and there are literally a dozen restaurants in a three-block span. We have never been disappointed here and the quality has been maintained even during the Covid period. For traditional Italian food, Emilia’s can’t be beat.
