About the restaurant

A unique blend of the casual and sophisticated, mixing the more sophisticated and nuanced service and cuisine of a fine Ristorante with a casual charm of a classic Italian Bar/Restaurant.

Patricia's philosophy on cuisine, which starts with the finest ingredients and respects the integrity of those ingredients through precise and innovative preparation and cooking. Patricia's passion for the cuisine, wines, and regions of Italy meld perfectly and are reflected in the restaurant. Patricia's reflects not only our shared views on Italian cuisine, but also on respective views on food preparation and service. In tune to the seasons and the special qualities of ingredients, as to be in tune to the special needs of customers and staff, Patricia's sets the standards for a dining experience that is both satisfying and memorable.

About the restaurant

Roberto Paciullo opened his namesake restaurant almost twenty years ago. Since then it has become a neighborhood favorite and a destination for those visiting Arthur Avenue. He prepares the cuisine of his beloved hometown Salerno, Italy. The specials change weekly and reflect Roberto's creative use of the local ingredients from pasta in cartoccio to the perennial favorite veal osso buco.
Now closed Mondays for the time being.

Our group of 6 loved everything about Enzo's in Williamsbridge. Sat at a round table on the porch (it's heated) and less noisy so we were able to share conversation. All 6 entree's we ordered were delicious. Our waiter was gem. Will definitely be back!!!

About the restaurant

An homage to Hip Hop, the Boro and the culture that created it!

At Beatstro we specialize in providing a nostalgic experience of the Golden Era of Hip hop in the Bronx. Our ambiance will certainly transport you to the days of struggle in the Bronx and the creativity that came from it. Our cuisine is an expression of the two cultures that created Hip Hop- African and Puerto Rican. We combined and broadened the two giving you a fusion that's exciting as well as delicious!
