Tredici Social is the intimate Italian restaurant that Bronxville didn’t know it needed until it arrived on Kraft Avenue. This cozy, sophisticated spot has quickly become the neighborhood’s go-to for special occasions and casual weeknight dinners alike, striking that perfect balance between elegant and approachable.

What makes Tredici Social stand out is their knack for elevating classic Italian dishes with subtle, contemporary touches. Their squid ink pasta with seafood manages to be both familiar and exciting, while the short rib pappardelle achieves that perfect harmony of richness and acidity. The portions are generous without being overwhelming, allowing you to indulge in multiple courses without feeling defeated.

The space itself feels intimate in the best way possible – warm lighting, comfortable seating, and an acoustic quality that lets you actually hear your dining companions. The bar program deserves special mention too, with Italian-inspired cocktails that go beyond the expected Aperol Spritz (though theirs is excellent) and a wine list focused on small Italian producers you won’t find at the local wine shop.

What keeps locals coming back to Tredici Social is the consistency and care evident in every aspect of the experience. The staff remembers returning guests, the kitchen doesn’t cut corners, and there’s an unmistakable sense that everyone working there genuinely wants you to have a wonderful meal. Bronxville is fortunate to have this little slice of Italian hospitality tucked away on Kraft Avenue.
