<p>Please help, we're hungry</p>
<p>I ate at Dominick’s on Arthur Ave. when I visited this spring. It’s an old-fashioned Italian restaurant with no menu. The waiter asks what you’re craving, and he’ll bring out whatever for you. I had excellent fetuccine alfredo with shrimp with homemade noodles. Delicious.</p>
<p>YUM!!! We will definitely add that restaurant on our TO DO list when we go there in a few weeks!! Thanks …
Keep those suggestions coming…As a Newbie to Arthur Ave., we love hearing anyones reccommendations…The next 4 years should be delicious too! LOL</p>
<p>There is no such thing as a bad restaurant on Arthur Avenue. Some are more popular than others because of name recognition, but some of the lesser known smaller restaurants, even those two blocks around the corner so to speak are awesome. Many offer “family style” eating, which basically means no real printed menus, and the waiter (sometimes the owner) comes out and rattles off what they are offering that day, and brings out a huge plate of proscuitto, followed by trays of entrees that you all serve off of, with more food than you can consume. Often you don’t really even know the price until the end, but since its not egregious or outrageous, a large family gathering can still eat very cheap. We fed 8 for 150.00 one time and that included a few rounds of beer for the men. </p>
<p>Umberto’s is famous for seafood. I HIGHLY recommend the Chilean Sea Bass. I think it was 14.95 per person and very much worth the cost. </p>
<p>Not all restaurants are family style-no menu. You might even see Fordham faculty from time to time.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot ghostbuster! I’m on a diet and didn’t realize I was hungry until now! :(</p>
<p>Yummo again…Chilean Sea Bass one of my favs!!! Thanks ghostbuster!!! :)</p>
<p>I didnt tell you about the famous dessert place on Arthur Avenue…lol. But its there. Canolis to die for and many many other authentic italian treats. </p>
<p>There is a favorite place of mine we go to…its a small restaurant across the street from the dessert place…and we eat fabulous food there, and when you order a real italian espresso following supper, you get the shot of anisette with it…feels like I am in southern Italy…but really you can’t go wrong. Its VERY eclectic over on “the Ave” so you have to be willing to accept that…but its okay, and safe and well traveled. </p>
<p>Umbertos offers big half price discounts for late night dining…often their pasta of the day which can also be awesome. </p>
<p>There are Fordham haunts not on the Ave but just behind the rear gates, or on Fordham Road…some pizza joints, some diners…one was owned by “Pete”, who died unexpectedly…a greek man…casual classic northeastern diner…but he was very good to Fordham kids. </p>
<p>Kids can go into the city too…and eat around Lincoln Center on upper westside, or they can go to Grand Central and all that has to offer…midtown, and then some go into the Village for some good haunts. </p>
<p>Fordham kids often go in groups…more fun, safer and sometimes they can share and save money too!</p>
<p>Buono Appetito!</p>
<p>My Husband, being Italian, and I will go anywhere for a good canoli or Italian pastries and espresso with Sambuca or any shot will do!! LOL ! Your suggestion will be taken again!!!</p>
<p>We go to Zero Otto Nove for pizzas, pastas in a nice atmosphere. Same owner as the much more expensive Robertos. Pastries at Egidos! But I don’t think you can go wrong for food anywhere on Arthur Ave. My S has been to a number of the restaurants and never had a bad meal. Have fun exploring!</p>
<p>I second the Zero Otto Nove suggestion-- their pizza is drool-worthy for any Italian.</p>
