We went for an early dinner on a Saturday night because they take reservations and had free Vaket parking (weekends only).
Seated immediately but waited almost twenty minutes for the waitress to approach us. But she made up for that by getting the kitchen to make a special gluten free dish for my wife. She had chicken francese ..I had Veal Parmigiana. Both were excellent and large portions. The bill with drinks and appetizer was about $100. All in all we very much enjoyed our dinner and will be back…hopefully with a more attentive waitress.
The absolute best customer service and such delicious food! Many gluten free options as well! Anytime we come to Arthur Ave., we always eat at Antonio's!
Wonderful local Cafe. Tasty food, nice selection of eggs, yogurt, and pastries. I particularly like that they have a few different gluten-free treats. Coffee is yummy, strong without being bitter. Cozy atmosphere and busy.
Found a vegan gem … a hole in the wall.
Prices good, food size adequate, gluten free options available.
Will definitely return, if you like flavorful unique gluten free vegan you should try this place.
If you're looking for beautifully baked bread, cakes that are light, airy and brimming with fresh taste then go and seek out this wonderful jewel of a coffee shop in the Bronx.
So far on my visits I've enjoyed the zucchini bread, banana chocolate chip, gluten-free loaf, the cheddar scallion scones, the lemon poppy bread and the avocado slices with and without salmon and paper thin slices of red onion..and I want more .. DEFINITELY worth visiting, you won't regret it.
Classic Italian-American food on the famous Arthur Ave. ~30 min wait on a Saturday night. I wasn’t expecting mind blowing food so the expectations were just right.
The food was to be expected, just normal Italian food, with an emphasis on Italian American, along with a few twists on the menu (eg: cacio e pepe w/ artichoke hearts). The pizza tasted like a standard neopolitan pie, the puttanesca was okay, and the eggplant parmesan was quite good. The puttanesca was w/ gluten free noodles that were cooked well, but the sauce was just fine. The olives were definitely low quality canned black olives.
I would say if the pasta dishes don’t look to appealing just get a pizza and call it a day.
The interior definitely gives off Cheesecake Factory vibes so definitely more of a family group friendly place than a date night spot.
The food is really good! It's a bit pricey but has decent portions for the burritos. Called and asked about gluten-free options, which I saw online that they have, and the person said, "I don't know, sorry." Didn't try to ask someone or anything. Other than that, the food is great.
Absolutely lovely people - they were very kind and considerate to someone in my party who is a coeliac and they catered something specially for her! It was really appreciated.
Servers are very professional. No mistakes after 4 visits. Seafood is fresh. Free salads are acceptable. Copious servings of garlic bread. More fish varieties and gluten-free would be a good addition to the menu.
I don't ordinarily post restaurant reviews on Facebook, but the OAO and I had a delicious meal at Neem Indian Cuisine (3549 Johnson Avenue, Riverdale, New York): full of color, flavor, and texture, and with the nicest most solicitous service imaginable. My wife is a gluten-sensitive vegetarian and I am a carnivore and we both concluded the meal with happy satiaed facial expressions. What could be better? I'll tell you: live Thursday night jazz from guitarist Joe Wittman and bassist Alex Claffy. All our senses were stimulated and gratified.
The banquet space is fantastic. The valet parking is a bonus. I have to go back and try the restaurant to give it a higher rating. Oh, I also loved that they accommodated my dietary needs and made me a gluten-free pasta dish during the banquet dinner. Just a little something extra that made the evening special.

This little gem is a blessing to our neighborhood! It’s a peaceful, delicious, and aesthetic getaway. There are vegan and gluten-free options as well. I got the avocado toast (with heart shaped drizzled sriracha) and beet root chai latte.
They had gluten free options (not pictured). There fryers are not gluten free. Food was delicious and the noise level was good even with a packed house.
Went on Friday for lunch with a buddy and my youngest son. Who doesn't love an old school Italian restaurant, this place screams family. When you eat here you are family. My son is Gluten Free and they were extremely accommodating, offered him multiple options to choice from. Fried Calamari was light and crispy the way it should be, one of the best I ever had. I had Veal Parm excellent, My buddy had the Swordfish special which he said was delicious and my son had GF spaghetti with Bolognese sauce. A glass of wine and it was the perfect lunch, I look forward to returning for Dinner, Don't miss out if your on the avenue shopping stop in for a home cooked meal like grandma used to make.
Great service, cashier fixed 2 tables together to accommodate our group. Bought plates to our table. Even cleaned their stove to make a special gluten free/allergy free burger patty. Its fast food w/restraurant service. Halal Burgers and fries were delicious!
Great atmosphere, beautiful space, and it was really lovely to have a gluten free pasta option. Broccoli rabe and sausage pasta was incredible and I may dream of the pistachio tartufo.
The porterhouse for two is tender and like butter! Delicious and great atmosphere. I am gluten free and have never had any issues here after I let them know. I also recommend the creme brulee for dessert. Compares favorably to any upscale midtown steakhouse.
I ordered some last minute catered gluten free chicken wraps for my son and class mates, they loved it ! The manager was great and the staff was extremely nice , friendly and professional. I’m extremely appreciative for their great service
My go to for delivery in the neighborhood. They have the best gluten free pizza in Riverdale. I love their Goat cheese salad too. Their vodka slice is great. The chicken parm sliders are also a family favorite.
Gong hey fat choy!
Igor A. invited me and some of our colleagues to a Chinese New Year lunch at Shun Lee. Usually, my lunches consist of relatively inexpensive take-out food or something from the surprisingly good cafeteria in my office building, but it was fun to splurge. Yes, Shun Lee is a little gimmicky with the wait staff in captain uniforms, but I truly enjoyed the experience from the elegant china on the table to the incredible gluten-free (!!!!) crispy beef. I am sure I will return for a special occasion, as the price will keep me from making a habit of dining there.
As someone who has tried several different African restaurants, I can categorically say this is the best food I’ve tried! So many options that come in great portions. Lovely staff as well. If a proper Ghanaian/West African/Caribbean food is what you’re after, there’s no better place!
They also have vegetarian, gluten free and halal option!
There burgers are so good!!! Tried it twice: lettuce wrapped burger with bacon and sweet potato fries. Regular fries are greta as well. Does not taste greasy and is super affordable! Highly recommend 😋
As someone who is gluten and dairy free, I felt great after eating there both times!
I walked in at 5PM just as they were opening and asked if they had gluten free options. The owner said of course, we make our own GF pasta. He proceeded to tell me about their homemade GF ravioli, rigatoni and pappardelle. I hugged him right then and there. The Grilled Sardines over arugula with a very light lemon dressing (might have been just lemon juice) was an amazing appetizer. My wife had the special of the day, a seafood lasagna with a bechamel. She loved it. For main course I had their homemade GF Pappardelle with a Ragu. Best GF pasta I ever ate. They sell frozen packages of it to take home so I bought three different ones. My new favorite restaurant on Arthur Avenue. I cannot wait to go back.
Super friendly and helpful staff. Several people were very knowledgeable about what was and was not gluten free. They also went out of their way to make sure that the food was safe for me to eat.
What a wonderful experience! The food was simply outstanding and extremely well priced. The atmosphere was so cozy. The owners and the staff were top notch. We had sone special needs with an elderly family member, guests who required strict gluten free meals, and numerous children of different ages and the staff handled everything fabulously. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a party of two or a party of 25 like my event. Thank you all for giving us such a great memory!!
