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.“

“Absolutely loved our experience here tonight! I am unsure of the hostesses name but she was a doll and clearly had everything running so smoothly. As walk-ins we were even able to pick where we wanted to sit. Juan was our waiter who was such a gem, so attentive but also did not rush us at all. We got the baked clams, veal Marsala and the gnocchi special which were excellent. The manager also came over to say hello which felt very personable. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Beautiful restaurant! Food very good except for one time. Service also usually good except for one time. Reasonably priced as well. I've been there 4 times & plan to be going back soon!“

“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.“

“Verana is hands down one of the best dining experiences in Bergen County. The food is consistently incredible, from the homemade pastas to the perfectly cooked seafood and steaks. You can really tell there’s attention to detail in every dish. The atmosphere feels upscale but still warm and comfortable, and the service was professional without being pretentious. Easily a restaurant you can go to for a special occasion or just a great night out. Can’t wait to come back.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Delicious food and great service!“

“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“

“The pizza was great and the service was friendly!“

“Very family oriented and wonderful owners thank you“

Really Beautiful Restaurant, with great staff! The owners love what they do and it shows! My favorite entre is the homemade squid pasta with seafood( get it in the garlic white sauce) Really great! They also have very good steaks for the carnivores out there for one or two people(no need to go into the city to a steakhouse when this restaurant is in the heart of Hartsdale NY, across from metro north! Benny makes the best drinks! They also have a "Really Good Happy Hour"! Whatever you choose you will not be disappointed!“

“My family and I came to Sapori to celebrate my college graduation, and the experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish.

We visited during lunch in the middle of the week, and the service was exceptional. Our waiter, Zacharias, went above and beyond to make our celebration feel special. He explained every detail of the menu so thoroughly, answered all of our questions with patience, and gave excellent recommendations. You can tell he truly cares about the guests’ experience. The entire staff was attentive, thoughtful, and detail-oriented. We felt genuinely cared for the entire time we were there.

And the food… wow!!! Cheers to the chef because everything was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. You can taste the care and quality in every dish. Most of the pasta is made fresh on-site, which makes such a difference. Because everything is prepared with that level of attention, this is not the place to go if you’re looking for a rushed meal. But if you want authentic, high-quality food made with care and served beautifully, Sapori is absolutely worth it.

Thank you to Zacharias and the entire Sapori team for helping make my graduation celebration so memorable.“

“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!!“

“My wife and I were there for a political function combo meeting and Christmas luncheon. This establishment is super clean, bright, and cozy. The food and wine were delicious. I had chicken parm. Was fantastic. Was batted down thin and breaded and seasoned to perfection. VERY tender, I only had to use my folk to cut. The marinara was fresh semi chunky lite delicious and perfect. The fresh bread came in handy to clean up my plate. My wife has a fresh pasta marinara dish and NO complaints there. The waiter and waitress were professional, non obtrusive, thoughtful and caring about their service to us. Thank you iL Portico for having us and making us feel welcomed! Merry Christmas!

“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.“

“Grazie di tutto! Twice, recently, I dined at I'l Fresco with friends and family members; The words they used to describe Il Fresco were: -Fabulous - dinner was scrumptious -Phenomenal restaurant and staff -Tastiest sauce in the world - delicious hot bread out of the oven. -An Exceptional dining experience. -Amazing homemade tiramisu - wonderful desserts -Best meal ever - better than the meals I had while visiting Sorrento, Italy. From my cousin who went back to Belfast, Northern Ireland: I am keen to get back to visit again and hopefully we can visit the fantastic restaurant again, can't remember the name otherwise it would be getting a 5 star from me. Frank, Henry, Marissimo, and the entire staff always go the extra mile to provide "5" plus Star service. Thank you also - to the wonderful chef and staff behind the scenes. Thanks for everything! Kindest wishes, Colleen“

“The food was interesting and delicious! The service was excellent - attentive without being overbearing. The setting was pleasant, but got to be a bit noisy. When you go out for dinner with friends, you like to be able to carry on a conversation. We do plan to return.“

“You would be hard-pressed to find a restaurant with better food and staff. With that extra touch by Tina that makes dining here an absolute pleasure.
And the tireless efforts by Frank complete this Southern Westchester treasure.
Tina has Bingo in the larger room on Tuesday nights, and just added Sunday afternoons.
And my personal favorite that caps my visits is their spicy margarita.“

“Great service and legit delicious food. MUST EAT HERE!!!“

“Food was amazing! My in-laws took us here a long time ago. They are no longer with us but loved eating here. I’m Not from this area. We were at a swim meet in Yonkers and passed Spaccarelli’s by accident. Guess it was meat to be! Service was top notch! Had a great experience.“
