“One of The best Italian Restaurants in the Bergen County NJ region and the Hudson Valley NY area! Well done! Cheers!🍺“

“That day we were in the mood for Margarita Pizza and Rudy's salad, but there were other choices. Amazing as always. Closter landmark and we are so proud.“

“I have to admit, I cheated on you guys and wondered off to Rudy’s… I’m sorry but their sauce tastes like they just dumped it out of a store brand jar …biggest regret EVER!! I’m here at Carmine And Rays for the Margherita pies any and every time! The sauce is the most authentic flavorful taste and closest to my Italian grandmas I can get in the area. Welcoming staff and great food, highly recommended 🙌🏽“

“I’ve lived in the area my whole life and never had a bad experience here. While they maybe be understaffed at the moment, the staff still manages to make you feel like you’re at Nonna’s house when you’re there. I suggest getting a #18 with pickled peppers!Maybe they should have some grab and go sandwich options!“

“It’s a restaurant that’s reminds me of my childhood and my early Twenties that was my go to Italian restaurant. I loved everything about this place and enjoyed the great food. I took my wife to celebrate our birthday together and talked about how amazing it was growing up in this neighborhood.“

“The place is absolutely beautiful, with exceptional warmth and elegance. The staff's service is among the best I've ever experienced, and as for the food, I'm simply speechless. Without a doubt, this is a magical and incredible place!“

“Place is a hidden treasure. Food is outstanding! The waiters were very welcoming, funny and very attentive without rushing us before we could ask for anything they were right there. The owner is super sweet with a beautiful personality. He makes you feel welcomed from the moment you walk in. The food was phenomenal every dish was seasoned perfectly and portions were plentiful. The prices very reasonable for the service and food quality they provide. This is so far our favorite Italian cuisine restaurant I'm so glad we live close by we will be back. If I could give a 10 star I would!“

“10/10!!! We had such an amazing experience here ! We were visiting the area and were recommended this restaurant by our hotel attendant. I have to start off by saying our waitress, Monica, was wonderful ! She had such an amazing personality, was super friendly and helpful. She gave so many great suggestions of other places to try during our stay which was SO appreciated and helpful. Also, the food by Chef Ian was absolutely wonderful! I had the pan seared chicken which was to die for and the meatball appetizer tasted wonderful. Thank you for the wonderful experience and if we’re in the area again sometime, we will be sure to come here again!“

“Vegan Friendly ❤️🩷 Great place.“

“Wife and I flew into JFK late one Friday. We were famished , it was 1030 by the time we got to Arthur Ave.. We parked and walked , came upon people eating alfresco. We asked if any place was still serving. The "MAN" Vic asked what we would like, from one of the tables. In no time we had a bottle of Vino Tinto in front of us and people were making us try food they were dining on. I felt like I was at my friends ,' THE PIAZZAS " house. The food was excellent and the people better. Can not wait to go back !“

“Amazing food and service. Our family has enjoyed every meal at Franco’s. Great prices, atmosphere and the staff is amazing!“

“Phenomenal from start to finish!! We were lucky to have the place to ourselves for an early dinner. Dani, co-owner & chef, greeted us with a warm welcome. You could tell right away she had a genuine interest in making our experience special. We started out with a creamy, simple burrata that came with homemade focaccia. The bread was SO perfect. We each had salmon with Israeli couscous and broccolini. The salmon was cooked to perfection and paired nicely with the wine suggested by Dani. Then dessert…it was so difficult to pick just one!!! So we got three! Ana, the other owner, is the evil genius behind the to die for desserts!! Tiramisu, mascarpone cheesecake (we took it to go) and an apple cider donut with vanilla ice cream. (The donut was so absolutely divine that my boyfriend ordered a second serving!!) And can I just say the cappuccinos were on point! My mouth is watering just thinking about it all again! I hope others visit and enjoy the fabulous food, service and atmosphere at Mambo. We don’t live around the corner, but will definitely make the drive back because the whole experience was just that good. I wish Dani and Ana much success. You can tell it is a true labor of love for them. Cin-cin ladies!“

“Saggio is a far and away a main staple of the neighborhood and has been for years. I've been here many times and have never left unsatisfied.

Is it the best Italian you've ever had, especially in a city like New York? Probably not. But they're insanely consistent and the service is warm and friendly--especially their bar staff. They have a lot of employees that have been there for years and very much care for the clientele they serve and they make an effort to actually remember you.

I'm a fan of their frequent rotating dinner specials that change from season-to-season. They rarely miss. I've also never had something off of their main menu that I've ever disliked, and I love to try new things, so it's nice to have a wide spread to let you adventure out, but you can always find the regular go-tos as well.

It's a relief to have somewhere that you can trust like them in Hudson Heights.

The wife and I are a big fan of their bottomless brunch on the weekends. Their back patio is a gorgeous little cozy nook in the middle of the city that blocks out all of the noise from the busy street in front of it.

Since they changed out the old tables to booths, the ambiance has felt very cozy. Vibes are on-point.

If you come back frequently, you'll see a lot of regulars at the bar during happy hour, and people aren't afraid to engage in conversation, which is abnormal (and welcome) in recent times. I've randomly met some pretty cool people.“

“First time here and the food was delicious. The service was wonderful the people are all very nice.“

“Chef Sergio and his staff are warm and welcoming! The food reflects his love of serving authentic dishes. The ingredients were top quality and the taste was flavorful. Every dish at this tasting was perfect and represented the menu perfectly. The artichoke was pure bliss, hand made parpadelle magic, branding delicious and so much more! Chef visited every table which is key! Service was very friendly and attentive. The interior space was beautiful and inviting. It's a must go to, thanks Chef and Westchester Foodies!“

“Simply Great“

“Was in the Bronx for a funeral. Looking for a comfort meal. Our Waitress Maria was amazing. Such a kind loving lady. The food was Great quality and good portions. I’m going to try to go any chance I get.“

“Great Italian.\n\nMussels were some of the best I've ever had. Fantastic broth. Ask for extra bread to soak it up.\n\nAlso enjoyed the GIANT homemade lobster lasagna, although the pancetta dominated the flavors to the point it was not obvious there was lobster in there.\n\nGood, attentive service. Relatively easy parking nearby. Would definitely go back.“

“Our waitress was absolutely incredible. From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with a warm smile and took the time to explain the menu in detail, offering helpful suggestions and answering all of our questions with patience. Her recommendations were spot on, and her attentive, friendly service truly elevated our dining experience. She was, without a doubt, one of the best servers we've ever had“

“On December 12th my law office had their holiday luncheon at this wonderful restaurant. I also ordered a tray of meat lasagna for Christmas. If you have never had the pleasure of eating at this restaurant, I suggest you run - do not pass go - and get your butt there and eat the most delicous food on this planet. The chef created the meat lasagna - a simple dish - and elevated to something that just melts in your mouth with deliciousness. LOVE LOVE LOVE this restaurant!!“

“Benny was flaunting his massive balls on my plate of egg plant parm. Definently would c** back if given the oppurtunity.“

“I order pretty frequently from Dom’s in Nanuet since I work nearby. Yesterday, when we got our order to Sloatsburg, there was an omission in the order ( we really should have checked before we left). As always, Dom’s went above and beyond to make this right. They drove my order to Sloatsburg and included several delicious extras! Their catering always makes our events delicious, but yesterday they made it extra delicious. Dom’s has amazing food and even better service.“

“My coworkers and I went for lunch today and were greeted by the manager who was the KINDEST most genuine human being on the planet. Not only was the food delicious but the company was absolutely elite. This is our new pizza spot for sure 🫶🏻“
