Classic restaurant and one of the best in our area. We like to spend our anniversary here and often squeeze in Valentine's or a special dinner. We entertained our out-of-town guests, who were quite impressed with the food and service!

Very fine preparation of rigatoni carbonara, traditional and with no cream. Very fine rendition of chicken scarpariello with chicken sausage, potatoes, garlic, white wine. Quality of chicken, partially boned with skin on, was excellent. Very attentive and polite service. Enjoyed the rustic atmosphere. Limited menu but expertly delivered. Appreciate that half portions of pasta are offered.
Lydia
Great Italian food. Waiter could have shown a little more enthusiasm. Definitely will go back.

Food was good but service was slow. Only ordered a main course and it took 30 minutes to arrive. The dining room was max of 25% fill so it's wasn't kitchen backup. And we were never offered rolls which we saw being delivered to other tables. Great reputation but I doubt we'll be going back soon

I went to celebrate a birthday. The food was delicious, drinks were perfect and dessert was worth the calories.

The mushroom kale pasta is so delicious. Farro asparagus mint spring salad fresh and perfect. Service and ambiance are so inviting. Will continue to go back again and again.

As always, the food is delicious, the service is excellent and the ambience is warm and cozy. A real gem in Ardsley worthy of an ordinary, mid-week dinner or a special celebration.

The dining experience at this charming Ardsley establishment is outstanding. The owners Scott and Heather Fratangelo have continued to hone their talents in fine food dining into their lovely L'inizio. We travel from Manhattan when we can to grab a meal there. The quality of the food rivals well known and touted restaurants in NYC. Their menu changes for the seasons and usually another creation of theirs is added to their already amazing menu.
L'inizio continues to deliver. Chef has a way with chicken. My favorite local. Love the cozy bar (I sit at the far corner)

Food was Amazing ! Service was good as well . Everything was fresh from the baked clams to the arugula salad. The chicken Parmigiana was cooked very nicely with a fresh marinara sauce. The tables are a bit close together due to the restaurant being long and narrow - not much room and spacing is a challenge. I would definitely recommend trying this hidden gem!

They were so accommodating. My husband has trouble hearing with surrounding noise, actually he then he is unable to hear at all. They as usual were extremely busy, but still gave us a larger table meant for 4 (we were 2) to accommodate us. The food and service is always stellar.
