arthur ave / bronx

Can anyone recommend a good Italian restaurant on Arthur Ave. My mother was born and raised in the Bronx (Villa Ave), and i would like to take her and my father to dinner on Arthur Ave. I grew up in Queens, and my parents havent been back there in 40 years. My mom is a great cook who learned from her Neopolitan mother, so she will be very critical of where ever we go. It has to be authentic, nothing fancy more of a mom and pop place where the food is home made. Great Gnocci would be a plus!! Are there any places like that left??

Thanks

I thought Mario%26#39;s had good food. Others really like Dominick%26#39;s--I%26#39;ve yet to try it.

I think Dominicks will be good. I had a picky old school grandma and she liked it. But of course Many italians always think we make it better at home. LOL
