“My husband and I went to burrata for dinner today. It was a Saturday so we did have to wait around 50 minutes, so I would suggest making a reservation online if possible. We grabbed a drink at the bar next door while we waited. I really liked a the ambiance of the place- modern yet homey feel. Service was excellent, food came in a timely manner. We ordered the Araninci which was delicious, the burrata - yum. For mains we ordered the pappardelle which was really good, and the mushroom jalapeño pizza which we also enjoyed. For dessert we had the tiramisu which from a distance I thought looked like a store bought tiramisu because they wrap it in one of those plastic pieces to keep it together, but once the waiter opened it up all of the cream at the top fell to the sides like lava! It was really good- coming from someone who is very picky about tiramisu! Drinks- I had an espresso martini (no baileys) which was also good Definitely will be coming back here- with a reservation next time!“

“Amazing food and service! We ordered the beef nachos to share and I got the taco with steak and boy do they bless it with the portions! I was visiting and a friend brought me here so definitely would want to come back next time I’m around!“

“Came here and was very pleased with the service and food. Small restaurant with intimate vibes but very very very good food. We had the octopus, kale salad, and the mozzarella to start and that was phenomenal. I had the lamb bolognese, we also got the steak, fish, pasta special, and the pork osso bucco.Will be coming back for their suckling pig next!“

“This restaurant has been opened a short while. We frequented it several times and each time our meals were delicious! Their fried calamari is exceptional! Fresh and crispy! I had chicken parm and it was yummy! Generously portioned. Their pasta dishes are delicious too! The service is good and the ambience is nice. It's clean and a feel good place. I recommend everyone trying it at least once! Bon appétit!“

“Food, service, accommodations, patience, and did I mention the food, especially the pastas were nothing short of amazing. This is the first time in a while where I was impressed with the costumer service of everyone from the hostess to the waiter and all staff. We weren’t rushed whatsoever and somehow sat talking for several hours without the slightest animosity from the staff. I will be back!!Parking: Easy and no valet“

“Went for dinner last night with my husband. A wonderfully unpretentious spot. BYOB. Quite possibly the best Italian food I've ever had. Service was great. I can't believe it took us this long to find. Will absolutely frequent regularly go forward!“

“the pizza was so stringy, and warm, it was definitely hand made and never frozen, the music playing really brings up the mood and was easy to order, a single slice is only 3 bucks (minus tax) and it is very wheelchair friendly, the chairs are not screwed to the floor so you can move chairs for the wheelchair.“

“My wife and I had never been to Tarrytown before, but on a whim got a reservation for our anniversary at Bistro 12. We couldn't recommend it more! We ate the lobster bisque, calamari and a Caesar salad to start. I had the seafood risotto and my wife had the Ravioli Tartufata, both very delicious. Both the food and service were fantastic, would return in a heartbeat.“

“Huge selection of sandwich options, made with high quality ingredients. I couldn’t believe the size of the sandwiches and at such an affordable price point. The staff was also very friendly and attentive. This place is a gem. I can’t wait to go back!“

“First of all, it was not only Easter Sunday but my birthday. I didn't want to go to Manhattan; I wanted a good Italian restaurant close by and this was by far the best pick that I could make. We started with Clams Casino and Clams Oreganato. They both were absolutely, fresh, tasty and we loved them both. I had the capellini with crabmeat and shrimp and I was so pleased with the taste of the creamy tomatoe sauce and the sweetness of the crab meat and delicate flavor of the shrimp. This pasta dish was superb. My husband ordered the Seafood Pescatore with linguine. He was enjoying the dish and all the seafood ; mussels, clams, calamari and shrimp were all tender, fresh and delicious. We ordered the creme brulee with blackberries and dragonfruit. What a wonderful burst of texture, creaminess and crunch of glazed sugar browned to perfection. We have found our Italian Cucina that will be our "go to" in Yonkers. Tutti a mangiare a tavola.“

“Wonderful open space with amazingly responsive wait staff and a chef-owner who makes r rounds to see how you liked the meal. We had appetizers of burrata salad and a polenta with meat sauce and everyone had different main dishes all involving perfectly cooked seafood. No room for dessert but if we had the opportunity to eat dessert bo doubt it would have been excellent! Can't wait to return!“

“My husband and I had a little date night here during the Christmas season and it was quiet good! I work in the area so was pleasantly surprised to discover it was in my stomping ground.The booths were cozy and perfect for the occasion. The food was well seasoned and fresh. The service was decent..I would recommend it.“

“My husband and I went last night for dinner, and we cannot stop talking about how much we enjoyed it. First, they accommodated us quickly and made us feel welcome despite the fact that we arrived a little over 15 minutes late for our reservation; we were expecting to wait but they seated us right away. The atmosphere is soooo pretty with greenery and fun music playing.Now the food: My husband ordered a cocktail and I ordered wine and both came out promptly & were generous in size. While we waited for our food, we looked at the meals that were coming out of the kitchen and everything looked delicious! The serving sizes are VERY generous. My husband ordered the chicken parm vodka special and I ordered the ravioli and meatball. We easily could have split the chicken parm to share. It was easily one of our favorite meal experiences, as everything was made to perfection. For dessert we ordered the cheesecakes.. I have high expectations for cheesecake and theirs did not disappoint. We both left feeling stuffed but in the best way. No notes. 12/10.“

“My good friend and myself stumbled into Dolce Vita not too long ago when it was the only restaurant in Nyack that was opened very late. We struck gold. We have been back several times and the food, the service, the owner, the atmosphere are the very best . All are wonderful.“

“Yo. This place is it. The truth. Tonight we decided was gonna be a pizza night but my wife specifically wanted PIZZA - like not a tavern style bar pie or a Patsy's/Angelo's NY margarita type. Old school pizza, pizza. Bob's delivered. Literally. From Tappan to Upper Saddle River they brought some of the best "plain" slices I've had since moving to NJ - and it showed up quick, hot and totally in tact. We fking loved this pizza. There are more than a few great places to get Pizza near us - but I'm absolutely thrilled to add this one to the regular rotation. Tonight I'll drink to Bob's. May they stay in business forever! Here here.“

“Valentina’s is a hidden gem! I almost didn’t write this review so I can keep it secret…but I decided to share so you can enjoy it too.It’s just the best Italian food for miles around. Everything is made to order and is excellent. The Chicken Martini is a must try, and don’t miss the Veal Parm. Prices are very reasonable and the owner and staff are so friendly and welcoming. You will not be disappointed!!“

“We love this place the chicken parm pizza is amazing since the new owners took over it's better then before there friendly sandwiches are better they take credit cards and there delivery is more efficient there even open on Sundays there pizza amazing and sandwiches are plentiful great family “

“Grabbed a sicillian and a Hal’s seltzer which I never see around ! Oh boy was the pizza amazing crafted perfectly with the cheese and the sauce. Perfect ?? I definitely recommend coming here they reopened up in style and taste. The food is amazing here now ! 10/10 best pizza here in Yonkers!??“

“Wow. Great restaurant. While it was a bit pricey, the portions were very nice and the food was incredible. Don’t skip the arancini or homemade tiramisu. Alessandro was our waiter and the service was impecable. Thank you for a great night out!“

“UPDATE AT THE END;I ordered online ahead of time to have my order ready on time, when I arrived in the store, the worker at the counter was choosing his priorities of personal life over the customers.He left me waiting there while my food was getting soggy more and more by the minute..He was busy catching up with some friends..When I spoke up and asked if my order is ready, the friend backed off to let me through to the counter, but this lovely worker took the opportunity to now call another friend over Video call to show him who just came in to the store.......To the business owner, if you want to have a good name, please make sure to talk to the worker that worked at the counter on March 30th at 11:45 - 11:55 pm.----UPDATE.A few minutes after posting the review, I got a reply from the owner that he will look into this.The next morning I got a call from him that he looked at the CCTV footage and wants to hear more details from me.I gave him the full story and he said that he will talk to the worker.I got a call from him not too long after the initial call, and he clarified what the story was and that the company is taking full responsibility on this.Now, after this I can proudly say, the customers service is 10 out of 5, awesome and amazing to deal with responsible people, a mistake is a mistake.“

“This little pizzeria has the cutest little front. It's across the street from the library and it has little seats outside. You could sit and have a nice cuppa coffee or slice of pizza. We like the chicken buffalo and a lot of the margarita pizzas. I love the calzones everything has been pretty good.“

“I recently needed early lunch reservations for a family gathering on a Saturday afternoon. Although the restaurant doesn't open until 4 PM, the owner was kind enough to open early to accommodate my family for a birthday celebration. This was our first time visiting Ciao Bella. It's a very quaint BYOB Italian bistro. The food was phenomenal, the service excellent and the experience delightful. Thank you to the owner for allowing us to come in early. Thank you to Emily our server who attended to our every need. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and highly recommend your excellent food and atmosphere. :-)“

“I have always been satisfied by the personalized service and attentive care. The, "Side Salad", is a nutrient rich choice of true vegetables, not just thrown together mishmash. The waiter and , "busboy", kept up to whatever I needed, wanted, or didn't need. I had extra help to my car with take-home foods. I dined alone, but they made it special. The drinks and wine were excellent, too.“

“I stopped into La Bona Pizza after a drive up in Old Tappan and tried a slice of their cheese pizza. It is excellent!. The sauce has so much flavor and that makes the base of the pizza. They are a little on the pricy side but it is well worth it. The rest of their pizzas on display looked really good but they were $4.00 a slice which was a little high for me but there were some creative topping like Chicken Parm and Baked Ziti.“

“WE SAW THE PROGRAM WITH GORDON RAMSEY, NIGHTMARE KITCHENS USA, AND WE WERE STRIKED BY THE SERIOUSNESS AND GREAT WILL OF ANTONIO, WHO FOR BEING SO YOUNG IS ALREADY A WINNER.WE WANTED TO ASK IF YOU DO HOME DELIVERIES IN EUROPE, WE WOULD LIKE A PIZZA MADE BY ANTONIO.GREETINGS FROM ITALIAN SWITZERLAND.“

“Cool new spot in town! I was reluctant to try this place out but I decided to give it a try after seeing a nice crowd in there. It turns out there is a new owner, he just kept the name of the place the same. A mistake in my opinion but at least he did one good thing. He hired a great bartender named I know from Barrel and Brew. This guy can make a great drink and he is so personable. He interacts well with guests and designed a great menu of drinks. I enjoyed a couple of delicious margaritas while I was there. They also had a DJ named Bronson playing some great music. I look forward to seeing how this place does because I've always said this spot would make a great bar because of the nice patio outside. It would make a great hangout for the summer. I can't really comment on the food because I only tried an order of wings but they were good. The ambience though gave me reason to believe this place could make it at this spot.“

“Old school Italian with large servings of excellent food. It is in a somewhat sad looking strip mall with not much curb appeal. But don't let that throw you off. The interior is nice and the staff friendly.Be aware the place looks like it's been there forever -- the word is out with locals and regulars so it can get crowded at peak hours.“

“Had a wonderful experience at al di la! We arrived a little before 12 pm and was empty so we got to enjoy the quiet but it got filled up while we were sitting. The atmosphere is calm. There isn't a very bug menu but the food is really good. We had their famous salad pizza and didn't disappoint! We also ordered a hot coca which was perfect for this cold rainy day and a delicious salmon pizzaoili. The Eggplant rollantini was good as well. Will definitely be coming back here!“

“Came here to celebrate my mom's birthday. Absolutely fabulous from start to finish! The staff is warm and friendly yet professional. Eduardo, our server was attentive and on top of everything throughout the course of our dinner. From apps to entrees not a detail was overlooked. Now the food... I can't put into words how the flavors and quality of food are by far top notch. Sooo good!!! This place is a hidden gem and the food, drinks and service is amazing! Definitely will be back!!“

“After a night of no sleep and a rough work day I dreaded the thought of going home to cook dinner. I didn't want to order fast food garbage. I went into my Facebook page and saw this fabulous photo of trays of chicken caprese. Wow. It looked amazing. Having never tried it and Doms being on my way home, I figured I'd give it a try. I was greeted by Michael who was super nice and even asked me how my day was! So sweet. I brought my tray home happy to warm it up and serve up to my family. They loved it! I loved it too. It warmed up nicely and hubby and I were able to have some for lunch the next day! A home cooked meal on a busy week night for $40? I'm sold. 4 meals at McDonald's is about $40 these days or more! Hello Doms, Goodbye Fast Food.“

“I’ve been to Giulios restaurant and had the best dinner, the food was amazing the staff and the owner were very friendly and professional. They made me feel like I am family . The atmosphere is clean and very inviting. I highly recommend.“

“Great pizza options for both vegans and omnivores. We order takeout pizza from Rini’s every time I visit my friend in the area, and it’s such a treat! The crust is the perfect ratio of crispy/chewy, and they get the balance of sauce, cheese, and toppings right. Well seasoned, delicious pizza!“

“The food at this establishment was incredibly delicious, making it my second visit here. On our first visit, we didn't have a reservation, but the staff still accommodated us on a busy Saturday night. The food was exceptional. This time, we were seated in a better location, and the meatballs were outstanding! I enjoyed a Pom martini and the carbonara pasta, while my date savored the balsamic chicken, which was equally delightful. The top-tier customer service and dedication to patrons make this place worth visiting many more times!“

“It's been a while since I could get back to Alfredo's restaurant in New City, and I'm happy I did. The staff were very courteous and attentive. Our party of 6 each ordered a different meal and we all thoroughly enjoyed their selection. I highly recommend trying out Alfredos in New City.“

“My boyfriend and I celebrated our 3-year anniversary at this restaurant, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of phenomenal. The flavors and taste of the dishes were absolutely delicious, leaving me wanting more with each bite. Not only that, but the service was impeccable. The manager, Tommy, and our waiter were incredibly attentive and treated us with such warmth and hospitality, making us feel incredibly welcome. Overall, it was an amazing dining experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and exceptional service.“

“Amazing old school place that helped earn NYC the reputation for great classic Italian food. Stick to the red sauce classics and you’ll surely enjoy. My wife got the Carbonara that was beautifully made and she really enjoyed. The portions were large enough for lunch leftovers the next day.“

“Why aren’t more people talking about this place??!!!??My friends and I went tonight night for dinner and drinks because we saw they had the speakeasy and we love that vibe.We decided to sit at the bar. Immediately, the bartender, Steven/Stephen, starts telling us about the place and it’s rich history. He was so kind and helpful the whole night. He made sure he connected with us for a great experience.We ordered espresso martinis, because obviously. They were INCREDIBLE. You can get it with or without Baileys which was nice. We even got decaf espresso. The level of sweetness was just right. The foam was foaming. They were truly a treat. 10/10. I also ordered a Tiramisu martini which came with a lady finger on top. This was a little stronger but still nice and creamy with great foam. 9/10.The food was absolutely DIVINE. He told us the food is made fresh because they don’t have a freezer..?!?!!? Impressive if true. We started off with the Arancini because they are my religion. Mouthwatering. The rice was perfectly cooked. The crispy outside was amazing. The flavors melded together well. 10/10. I had the Spicy Rigs. It was made with homemade pasta…!!!!!!!!!! I am not a pasta girly but when it’s homemade…consider me a pasta girly. The sauce was smooth and creamy. The tomatoes really came through. I wish the Calabrian chilis poked through a little more for more of a spice. However, the flavors were still balanced. 9/10.The vibes were immaculate! We got there about 7. A DJ started playing music around 9:30. It turned into a club vibe which was shocking. The music was blaring so it did become hard to hear each other. The music was still good though.They do have HH Monday - Friday which seems like really great deals on drinks/food.I would 100000000% come back here and recommend it to anyone. I hope to try their sister restaurant soon, Hudson Prime Steakhouse, which is the only steakhouse in Irvington apparently!!!For me to live in Westchester all my life and to not have heard of this place before is crazy! It was so good.“

“Local spot that makes really good Italian sandwiches. They get pretty busy during lunch, so if you are tight on time, i recommend calling in your order. The staff is always friendly and happy to recommend something. I usually order The Sicilian (vegetarian) or the Al Pacino (chicken). These are not "light" sandwiches. I always think i can eat one, but end up saving half for a 2nd meal. Ask them to put the sandwiches in the panini press, much better that way.“

“All the pasta is homemade and the sauces are delicious. Try the bolognese and the vodka sauce. Excellent service and an on hands owner in a wonderful cozy atmosphere. Very aprapos to that old Italian restaurant feel. They do not accept walk ins so make reservations ahead of time.“

“I have passed this place thousands of times, but never ate here. I stopped in tonight and was pleasantly surprised. We ordered pizza, 2 heroes and some cannoli's to go. The pizza was excellent and in my opinion, better than the pizza at other nearby restaurants! The heroes also got great reviews!! Although I'm not a huge fan of cannoli's, they were very good and hit the spot :) I have no idea why it took me so long to try this place out, but I will def. be back! The staff was also super friendly.“

“Just ate at Pesto. Great meal with friends. Fried artichoke appetizer was delicious. Brisket Ravioli appetizer was also delicious. Lobster & scallops with a light red sauce was fantastic. Asked them to replace the cream sauce. They were happy to comply. Still considering dessert!$“

“Always a great choice. A warm welcome at the door, we were led to our table in the middle of a laughing and upbeat crowd. Bar was hopping and parties in the back. The food never fails. In fact after all these years I think it's getting better. Order anything you want. Menu or specials. Meat, fish, or pasta. Everything is prepared and served beautifully. A great dining experience for us. Over and over and over again.“

“We stopped by for the first time tonight and were thrilled with our experience. Alex and his team are making some of the best thin crust pizza in the area.We came in with a group of six, and they happily accommodated us. They were friendly, welcoming, and the food was delicious. The crust was thin thin thin, and the cheese and sauce were the perfect mix of salty and sweet. I wish I had taken photos of the rest of our food, but we ate it too quickly (that’s how good it is!) We had two plain small thin crust pies, a half pepperoni/half sausage, and a small thin crust with half “the works” and half veggie. We also got a salad and two Italian subs and an arugula salad. Everything we ate was fantastic!We also got to meet the owner Alex, who has put his heart and soul into this place. He is a stand-up guy who really cares about his customers. If you get the chance, stop in and try their pizza - you won’t be disappointed!“

“Let me tell you some this is one of the best places to go for a nice meal and cocktail comfortable intimate very friendly. Make sure you order the money bags when you come that’s one of my favorites or the margarita pizza on the weekends they have DJs come salsa night different activity, almost every day.? ???“

“Delicious!Amazing variety!Kindest owners. Helpful and friendly. They make you feel like family.Nice decor, good location, great vibe.My whole family loved eating pizza there after a walk around Rockland Lake. Had an amazing spread from there at a toddlers bday party which prompted the post park visit.Vegetarian options: It's pizza“

“The pepperoni rolls here are somehow the most amazing food on Earth. They had went downhill for a bit - which was still superior to most - but somehow have made a comeback to perfection. Only downside is that I do not live in Croton anymore, and the 50 we bought to take home are now having to be shared with the kids because they too have realized how great they are! Plus the pizza is superb. The soda fountain wasn't great, but honestly that's a tiny blip.Parking: Small number of spots but it lines up fine with amount of seating as long as it's not at capacityKid-friendliness: Great for kidsWheelchair accessibility: Seems easily accessible“

“A family run business.Business With stroll community Base of customers. Pizza's a pretty tasty meal. I'm going back to have one and a 1/2 course Dennis. I expected to be as good as the pizza. What's so i'm told by people in the neighbowho I “
