A fixture on this corner for years, Enzo’s of Williamsbridge is the sort of place that those who've moved away still dream about, while the loyal local following means weekend waits are to be expected. Polished and airy, the warm atmosphere and spot-on service welcome everyone like family.
Inspired by the Italian-American passion for gathering at the table, Enzo’s offers the kind of cooking that revolves around long-simmered meat sauces and myriad interpretations of house-made pasta. Yet the kitchen knows just how to break a few rules, as seen in the spicy and creamy penne alla vodka. Other highlights include perfectly cooked chicken scarpariello made with dark, juicy morsels of bone-in meat married with a bit of garlic, wine and excellent olive oil.
