50 Best Italian Restaurants near Briarcliff Manor

“Excellent food and service“

“We took my husband and dad out for Father's Day looking for a wonderful time. With any holiday you know it's going to be busy and we anticipated some wait of course. Boy we were left more than disappointed with the overall experience with this restaurant. We had a reservation on the deck, but after being initially seated inside, my husband mentioned the outside status and we were gruffly seated to an outside table. The menu looked delish and we ordered some mimosas which the waiter said came with the specials. We got the drinks right away but had to flag down our waiter to place our breakfast order. Everyone around us got bread and olives and when I asked if we were getting it he said it just for lunch, but it was brunch! Everyone around us who came before us is getting their meals and we are just sitting there. We didn't get our food until over an hour later and mine and my dad's order was incorrect. When I got up to mention this and speak to the manager, to add insult to injury the manager can't show his face, he sends another waiter to talk to us. The waiter apologizes on his behalf and says that in order to make us happy we will be comped for my dad's and my meal. We say thank you and tell him we feel horrible he was to be put in this position. We get up to use the bathroom and get things going with the check and the waiter hands me the bill. The manager is standing right there. I see that there is a charge for the Mimosas. At this point I am really upset and I say "You said that they were included". The manager then rudely gets in my face and says "No, no, no. The drinks are Not included today". I tell him that the waiter told me so and he says no again. I then give him a piece of my mind of the whole experience and how it put a damper on the whole day. To this he curtly says " We are busy today miss, good day". This place has the potential to be excellent with the right manager and staff. To be disrespectful this way and then on Father's Day to boot was downright awful. Be a man and own up to making a mistake, don't send another employee to make things right.“

“Great service and incredibly tasty food !!!!! If you haven’t been you’re missing out!!!!💯 Food and service was outstanding, thank you for an enjoyable afternoon 😊“

“I have never had a bad experience here and I mean that, I’ve never even had a slightly bad experience in a slightly negative way. The food is incredible, the service is wonderful, the setting is perfect, I love how small and intimate it is, and I love the fact that’s family owned. I go to this restaurant once a week and God bless you to the owners and the staff for not only a job excellently done; but I hope there are many more years in the future, of us having the privilege of tasting the deliciousness that comes out of your kitchen.“

“Outstanding food at this cozy, rustic restaurant in Mamaroneck! Wide choices in every category. Everything is impeccably fresh, and beautifully presented by chef-owner Andrea!“

“the food is so amazing. this place never disappoints.“

“We have been going to Bosfa Restaurant since it opened . The food is terrific. The seafood is so fresh. I can’t say enough about it. The service great. What more can I say.“

“We held our 63rd reunion here and it was perfect. Food and service perfect. Those who live in the area will be back. Grazie Frank!!!“

“Mambo Italiano was such a great find...Awesome, authentic food. Everything is made from pastas to desserts. They also have a secret ingredient and warm and welcoming staff who clearly love what they do. Thank you.“

“Great atmosphere, organized party, excellent service and staff, amazing food, very relaxed party planning that led to a stress-free gathering of 80 people. Spacious, modern party room with nice furniture, lighting, and air conditioning. Highly recommend throwing a party here! Thank you Tesoro’s, you were awesome!“

“Very attentive service, great food, nice atmosphere. We love this place!“

“We chose Risotto to celebrate our anniversary, confident the food and service would be top-notch—and it didn’t disappoint! The surprise highlight? A beautifully presented complimentary dessert from the owner that made the evening truly memorable. If only we lived closer—we’d be regulars! Until then, it’s a must-stop every time we’re in town.“

“We had another wonderful family dinner at Mardino's last night. After 30 years and innumerable wonderful dinners I never get tired of the excellent food and service. It's like going home again. You're treated warmly and with respect and everything is always great, especially the stuffed lobster. I would rather dine at Mardinos than any other restaurant I have ever dined. Whenever we want to please a friend or relative, we always bring them to Mardinos. They always as to return.“

“Giulo’s is the best restaurant in Rockland County. Very comfortable seating. Large cocktails. Great food. Excellent desserts. Top-notch service. Benny, the owner, is on top of things. Have a great lunch or dinner and go to Guilo’s. I highly recommend Guilo’s“

“Went for the chicken parm but it turned out to be the least impressive dish on the menu. As a food snob, I can easily say this place is 5 stars. The beef carpaccio is not only delicious, but they give you enough for four. Second only to Montclair's La Rocca. The Caesar salad is spot on and unique and the garlic shrimp special is the best thing on the menu. Needs to be a daily item. The truffle pasta was also perfectly flavorful and al dente. Not a lame dish in the bunch. My personal fave was the spaghetti pomodoro. As good if not better than Scarpetta, NYC. Staff is amazing as well. Bon voyage, Amanda! Can't wait to go back.
❤“

“Love this place. The food is delicious. The staff is wonderful!!!“

“We had a family celebration there. Food was great. Service was wonderful. Couldn’t have been better!“

“Best Ravioli ever! Especially when just made vs frozen. Creamy insides drive my kids crazy, so we have to get them midweek for dinner.“

“This location i have come to a few times. It has progressively become better and better.
The rooms are beautiful, comfortable and quite, while there is a great social bar, with very nice accomodationimg staff and the downtown has become much better than it use to be that this hotel is right within.

Only downside I've experienced is the up charge fee for late checkout. Normally around the world a late checkout there is not a secondary charge of you request up till 1-2pm. Unfortunately this hotel is going with the US trend of charging consumers for needing a later checkout even if you checking at 11pm bc of late travel etc.. Only down on have to say, but hotel it top notch“

“Dinner, ambience, staff were 4 star! The cauliflower appetizers were delicious. We both had a seafood pasta dish that I wanted to finish, but couldn't. The good news is that I'll have the rest tonight for my dinner. I wish I had room for dessert, but couldn't. Hopefully I'll have a dessert the next time.“

“While Sapori remains one of our go to places for the friendliness and efficiency of the staff, last night's meal was not their best. My halibut was seriously overcooked. They would have given me another serving if I'd asked but it didn't disturb the overall enjoyment of being out at a lovely place. In the future I will be certain to ask for it not to be well done.“

“Very family oriented and wonderful owners thank you“

“I highly recommend this place. We had a party of 38 who needed a last minute place for our Xmas party and they took us without hesitation. Food good, drinks good and the staff was amazing, kind and just overall really nice place!!“

“We just came home from Sunday Brunch at Basso by PXK...the "Pots, Pans and Pasta" Brunch. Two hours, a dozen or more courses, one better than the other! Great food, great service. Peter Kelly dropped by each table to welcome us. So happy we went. Will be back for dinner...but it will be difficult to decide on one meal after such great variety.“

“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!!“

“This place is the best there is! Delicious food, great atmosphere.“

“We enjoyed such a lovely Italian dinner at Gavi located in the hamlet of Armonk. I loved the seafood salad which I shared with my friend Liz. I also loved the Chicken Parmigiana with vegetables. Guests enjoyed Pasta Fagioli soup, baked clams, veal franchise, pork chop and we shared a tartufo for dessert. The service was great! Thank you to Jamir who was one of our servers that evening. We missed seeing the owner-Frank. Fabulous dinner!“

“Heard about this place recently and found out about their gluten-free options for my daughter and gave it a shot. Wow! Blown away by everything! Dave the owner and his entire staff was amazing. Pizza…on point! Filet mignon sandwich special…Fire! My daughter’s gluten free mozzarella sticks and chicken parm were top notch. Can’t wait to return and try everything else. This will be the new hot spot.“

“I had a wonderful dining experience at Via Garibaldi. The fish was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The pizza was also fantastic, with a delicious crust and wonderful flavor. And the bread was so fresh and tasty that it was hard to stop eating it!

Everything was beautifully prepared, and the quality of the food really stood out. The atmosphere was elegant and welcoming, and the service made the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely come back!“

“The restaurant was recommended to us by the front desk clerk at the hotel where we were staying nearby. The clerk said it was good, but we were blown away! Our entrees were creative in composition and absolutely delicious. The service was prompt, attentive, and very pleasant. The prices were very reasonable, especially for the fine quality delivered. We strongly recommend Casaletto to anyone passing along the I-287 corridor east of the Mario Cuomo / Tappan Zee Bridge.“
