Open Kitchen's Arthur Ave Communal Dinner

Off of bustling East Fordham Road in the Bronx lies a quiet enclave of Italian spirit in the Belmont section. The authentic Italian culture found in this vibrant community of the REAL Little Italy, often known as Arthur Avenue, sustains thriving family businesses that include world-class restaurants and high-quality artisanal food shops. Among the notables born and raised here are actors Anne Bancroft and Chazz Palminteri, author Don DiLillo, and rock star Dion DiMucci, whose group Dion and the Belmonts, is named after a local street (Belmont Avenue). Joe Pesci began his acting career after being discovered by Robert DeNiro at a local neighborhood restaurant, where Pesci worked as the Maitred.

But it is the sausages and peppers, the enchanting smell of freshly baked Italian bread, the clams Oreganata, pizza at Marios, and the authentic Italian family dining at Dominics that bring people from all over to eat. Since 1962, Dominics has been offering Italian communal family dining - "no menus" ("you eat what they're cooking"), "no checks" ("trust the waiter"), cash only! With this in mind, join us at our table as Chef Christopher dishes up an authentic Italian meal including 2 glasses of wine, all served family-style and meant to be enjoyed with friends and family old and new.
