Booked<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When a Bronx family needs a table for twelve \u2014 a christening lunch, a graduation, an anniversary that runs long \u2014 the Pine is usually the first call. It has been doing exactly this since 1969: Southern Italian cooking served family style, rooms built for real crowds, and a Morris Park setting the whole borough can find.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Concept_%C2%B7_The_Story\"><\/span>The Concept \u00b7 The Story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The initials belong to Francesco and Giovanni Bastone \u2014 Frankie and Johnnie once they reached New York \u2014 brothers from Calabria who in 1969 took over a tired bar called the Pine Tavern: eight or ten tables, sawdust on the floor, its best years back when the Morris Park Racetrack still drew crowds. A new sign was not in the budget, so they left the old one up and tacked their initials onto the front. Frankie cooked his mother&#8217;s Calabrian recipes, the storefront grew room by room, and politicians and Yankees players turned it into a semi-private canteen.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Order\"><\/span>What to Order<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Dinner opens the way it has for decades: bread and salad brought out family style before anyone orders. Calabrian calamari hides a hot cherry pepper sauce underneath \u2014 the clearest clue to where these recipes come from. Zuppa di pesce is built for two to share; chopped baked clams and chicken scarpariello are the old-guard picks; lobster ravioli, super chicken parmigiana and stuffed pork chops fill the rest of the table, and the porterhouse is carved for sharing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Space\"><\/span>The Space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What began as a country tavern now stretches most of a block: a two-level dining room at the center, a separate barroom, and private banquet halls that carry the christening-and-communion calendar all year. Exposed brick walls hold photographs left by decades of ballplayers and borough notables, and a mural of an old Italian street runs across the room like a stage set. Red leather booths keep it loud in the good way, and in warm weather a garden opens at the back.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Good_to_Know\"><\/span>Good to Know<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Do I need a reservation?<\/strong> For weekend evenings and any group larger than four, yes; for a banquet room, call several weeks ahead.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is it good for children?<\/strong> Very \u2014 high chairs, patient service, and a room already full of somebody else&#8217;s relatives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there a dress code?<\/strong> No. Suits fresh from a christening and Yankees caps fresh from a game share neighboring tables.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can two people eat here without over-ordering?<\/strong> Portions assume an extended family: split one pasta and one main, and ask which dishes are sized for a group.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When is the garden open?<\/strong> In the warm months \u2014 request garden seating when you book, because those tables go first.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Opening_hours\"><\/span>Opening hours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Day<\/th>\n<th>Hours<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Monday<\/td>\n<td>11:00\u201322:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tuesday<\/td>\n<td>11:00\u201322:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wednesday<\/td>\n<td>11:00\u201322:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Thursday<\/td>\n<td>11:00\u201322:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Friday<\/td>\n<td>11:00\u201323:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Saturday<\/td>\n<td>11:00\u201323:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sunday<\/td>\n<td>11:00\u201322:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<section id=\"entity-gallery\" class=\"padrino-entity-gallery\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Photos\"><\/span>Photos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bronxanka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/pine-restaurant-bronx-1.jpg\" alt=\"Pine Restaurant\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bronxanka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/pine-restaurant-bronx-2.jpg\" alt=\"Pine Restaurant\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bronxanka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/pine-restaurant-bronx-3.jpg\" alt=\"Pine Restaurant\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bronxanka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/pine-restaurant-bronx-4.jpg\" alt=\"Pine Restaurant\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bronxanka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/pine-restaurant-bronx-5.jpg\" alt=\"Pine Restaurant\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bronxanka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/pine-restaurant-bronx-6.jpg\" alt=\"Pine Restaurant\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<details>\n<summary>Show 2 more photos<\/summary>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bronxanka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/pine-restaurant-bronx-7.jpg\" alt=\"Pine Restaurant\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bronxanka.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/62\/2026\/06\/pine-restaurant-bronx-9.jpg\" alt=\"Pine Restaurant\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n<div id=\"comments\" class=\"comments-area wp-block-group\">\n<h2 class=\"comments-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visitor_reviews\"><\/span>Visitor reviews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol class=\"comment-list\">\n<li id=\"comment-padrino-0\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-padrino-0\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\">\n<b class=\"fn\"><span>Vanessa Alvarez<\/span><\/b>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\">\n4 June 2026<br \/>\n \u00b7 <span>\u2605 10.0\/10<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Had a wonderful time at Pine.
