“The best pizza in Carmel, Mahopac and Brewster. We have lived here for 18 years and tried them all. The best dough, the best sauce, the best cheese, and the best service. Simply great pizza. His garlic knots r unreal. Mike the owner loves making pizza! Go there and find out why! Paul, 3“
“My wife and I recently found this place about a year ago. Have gone 4 times and have had nothing but exceptional service and food. I sort of want to keep this place a hidden gem. They recommend reservations, but walking in should be no issue for a small party of 2-4. However, every time I make a reservation, we are greeted and seated immediately with our table prepared and water already served, which is a nice touch. Not many restaurants actually prepare the table for the reservation that was made previously.Each time we have had the same waiter which has been great. He is always accommodating and polite and attentive. Other staff have also been friendly and kind.Soft butter is always served to go with the delicious bread. The fried calamari is great. The chicken parm is good. My favorite has been the NY Strip with Gorgonzola cheese melted on top. Cooked perfect each time. The cheese gives it a great flavor that just works well together. Had it twice and my wife also had it and it’s delicious each time. And for dessert the tartufo is probably the best I’ve had. Highly recommend.We have decided to make this a place for special occasions such as birthdays or anniversary’s. It’s a place that we truly enjoy and look forward to coming to for years to come. Highly suggest it. Prices are very reasonable. Much more expensive places with mediocre food. This place is worth every penny.“
“Went in to get some breakfast and so glad I did. Food is delicious, I’m catholic and lent just started so when I went to see the breakfast/lunch buffet they had I was a little sad the eggs had meat on them but the guy behind the counter offered to make me new eggs with veggies on them and I’m glad I took his offer because they were delicious. I also added beans, plátano, potatoes, and he added cheese and crema, also offered me tortillas, which are thicker than Mexican tortillas but so much flavor and let just say I’m hooked. Also so many choices for beverages, they have a machine for fresh orange juice but I opted to try the horchata, I’ve had it before and I wasn’t a fan but I said to myself let me try it again and I don’t know if there’s a difference between countries for horchata but this was hit the spot, so refreshing and yummy. Best Salvadoran spot I’ve found so far and since I’m a local I’m glad is so close to me. Definitely coming back to try new items, I’ve heard good things about their pupusas but I’m not really familiar with them since I’m from South America, but I’m willing to try them.La comida es súper deliciosa, fui para comprar desayuno ya q comenzó la cuaresma me alegra q tengan tantas opciones. Definitivamente regresaré para probar más cosas Salvadoreñas, el servicio al cliente es súper bueno, el muchacho es amable. El lugar es limpio y acogedor. Pero la comida es lo máximo, tortillas caseras, comida rica y a buen precio ??“
“First of all, bless this place for delivering to a rest area most places won't (Truck driver so we can't go down there). The staff was super nice and friendly, Eta for driver was right. Most importantly the pizza was a good pizza (More towards thin crust with a bit of grease but I love that) and buffalo wings was decent, Like everyone can eat them and not think twice about it (But to be clear im very picky on my wings). So overall I would go here again if im near by and I already told a friend about it. A solid place to get some food and you can't go wrong with them!“
“Awesome place to gather up.Good food, music, & environment.The dining area is situated in its own area, while the bar offers plenty of room.I frequent this restaurant and my only complaint if you will is where the pool ? table is situated.It's frustrating when you have to use a short stick v regular cue.Not the biggest deal in the world, but I am a pool player. Which btw so is the owner ... beware! He's good ? lol.Parking: Plentiful & easy.Kid-friendliness: The outdoor patio will keep them occupied..Yes kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Stairs both sides of the entry. The trick to avoid is go in from rear entrance where the out door patio is. Right side of building when facing it.“
“This is one of the best pizzerias in ny outside of nyc !And the owner "iron man" is a true gentleman, he will sit and converse with patrons and make them feel like family. Deffinitly recommendedParking: Plenty of parking except for Friday and Saturday nights it tends to get quite crowded. A true sign of delicious food!“
“Mostly order take out/delivery!I LOVE the ladies who answer the phone on Friday evenings they always get my large order (for our recreation program) right!The pizza is delish! …and we’re addicted to the house dressing! Please send recipe ?!!!!“
“All food was absolutely delicious, & cooked exactly the way we wanted it! I had Grilled Chicken with Sautéed Garlic & Oil, my Son had Penne Vodka with Chicken & we've had their Pizza numerous times. Very flavorful, presented so nicely. All staff very pleasant & accommodating. Being very Italian, I'm very fussy about eating sauce, but at Prato, you have no worries! Delicious!“
“We chose My Cousin's for Mom's surprise 90th Birthday party and I can't rave enough about the professionalism, the Food, and the attention to detail!We met with Alyssa initially in December and she was a delightful pleasure to work with. Subsequent meetings and conversations were equally productive.The day of, Alyssa and David were both on hand assuring that this celebration moved forward like a precision time piece.Additionally! A huge thank you to Mary for her outstanding professionalism and customer care. And lastly the back of house for a delicious meal!“
“The food was incredible, amazing point is that the owner recognized me and was excited to see me. However when I asked the server what mocktails they had he said they could do orange juice and cranberry juice. Which is insulting, might as well give it to me in a kids cup. I was there not three weeks prior and the server went to the bar to get a list of mocktails I could have and went above and beyond so I could have something other then juice or water and make me feel apart of the table. It's also very embarrassing when I get told I can have a juice, when the server looked and sounded irritated that I wasn't ordering a wine or cocktail. I will still go back, however me having a mocktail doesn't mean a low check. I alone spent over $100“
“First time trying Rocco's. Has parking and looks like an old style diner which gives it atmosphere and a look that's not seen much anymore. Wine and beer be fine, they serve both. Pasta dishes and pizza are on the menu. All was well until check out time, when paying. If paying by card, you get charged with a fee. Wish we had known cause tip would have been higher. Part of the tip went for the fee. We'll be back though. Next time we'll pay in cash.“
“First time at Trattoria Sei. The inside was nicely decorated, warm ambiance. The food was delicious, very generous portions. I had the Rigatoni Bolognese made with ground beef and veal. Highly recommend it. We also got a salad which was one of the specials and had pickled beets, blueberries, crumbled blue cheese, and it was very delicious! I also have to commend our server, Sophia, who was very attentive to us!“
“Amazing place, with excellent quality of food and service. I went with a group of 5 people and one of them was so picky on everything but couldn’t say nothing bad. Actually the chef prepared special plates just for him.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian food but like a mentioned before they just do it what ever you want with an awesome presentation and taste.Dietary restrictions: My friend is allergic to black pepper and was his second time visiting this restaurant and they already know about his restrictions with the food.Kid-friendliness: There was more than one family with kids and everyone were happy.Wheelchair accessibility: Space is big enough for wheelchairs“
“This is one of my favorite places. Great food, great atmosphere great owners who care about making sure their customers are happy. I been here so many times and I have never had 1 bad meal. The swordfish special is out of this world! Great place for the summer time as they have added such nice seating outside which makes it such an attraction for us. I love this place!“
“My wife and I stopped here in Oct 2021 on our way up to Connecticut after a 5 hour flight from Las Vegas to JFK and battling NYC traffic after getting the rental car. After a full day of traveling, she and I were both exhausted and hungry. The restaurant itself and the pizza were absolutely awesome. I only gave service 3 stars because they wouldn’t let my wife use the restroom. I can’t remember why. Overall, I’d come back. The pizza and the staff were both awesome. Nice little pitstop of you’re driving from JFK to CT“
“If you're going to get a flat tire, I strongly recommend that you get one on NY-22, right in front of this deli, as I did. The staff are lovely (a man and his mother) and speak Italian to one another. They make their own mozzarella, soup, and at least some pastries, if not all. Cannoli are filled to order and excellent. Another pastry (crostata?), cut into squares with a shortbread-like crust, cherry jam and chocolate was even more spectacular and something that I *must* come back for. The man told me it was homemade. The sfogliatelle pastry was a little tough and stale, but the thick, ricotta-rich filling was delicious. To be fair, these things have a very short shelf life. I gave it a few minutes in the toaster oven when I finally made it home and the texture was far improved. The son patiently answered my questions [e.g. how to properly pronounce "sfogliatelle," how much the fresh mozzarella costs (about $11 / lb)] and the mother kindly warmed up some pasta e fagioli for me. Sandwiches seem to be the focus here -- the menu is vast! -- but I sorely needed the warm-you-from-the-inside-out comfort of soup at that moment. The rich broth full of red beans, potatoes, and carrots absolutely hit the spot. It's too bad that it took a flat tire to get me in this place. We've been driving by for years and have clearly been missing out all this time!“
“We go to Il Forno for the best Happy Hour- 1/2 price appetizers and $5 beer on tap and $7 wine- there are also specially priced cocktails.They have the best calamari, delicious greeens and beans, broccoli raab and polenta, tuna, meatballs with ricotta and more.And we got to sample their delicious pizza too.So perfect for dinner or apperitivo!Rick and Susan are great hosts!It’s a wonderful dining experience“
“Let’s be honest. The interior is outdated and leaves a lot to be desired, and the parking lot is a complete mess. However, the customer service is lovely and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the pizza was.Prices are reasonable and everything is fresh and well served. I would personally appreciate a larger menu and having the able pizza types on display to make the ordering process easier. This really seems like a “dial in” joint and it would be nicer if more tables were able to sit. But, given the quality of the pizza, I would happily stop in again.Parking: While spots are available, there is no depth to the parking lot. There is limited visibility on a busy road which depending on the time of day, may or may not be worth the effort.“
“Last week, my wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Il Villagio. The restaurant was highly recomended to us by my wife's coworker. We were greeted warmly and sat promptly. We had a 6:30 reservation. The service from start to finish was warm, friendly and professional. We started with a crisp tender fried calamari and the roasted beet salad. So many times calamari is a hit or miss. This was an excellent version. The beet salad was tender, earthy and sweet. The crunchy pistacios and orange vinaigrette were a nice touch. My wife ordered Chicken Millanese and I ordered Gnocchi Bolognese. Both were excellent. The chicken was crisp and tender. The arrugula was peppery with a drizzle of lemon and virgin olive oil. Great balance. The Gnocchi was a great choice as there was a chill in the air. My definition of comfort food. Recently I have notice some resturants are going with a cheaper grated cheese, not Il Villagio. The Peccorino was perfectly salty and sharp. During our meal several people came over to check on us including the owner. I told he should be very proud of his staff. This restaurant is doing a great job. The provide quality service, excellent food and a warm friendly staff. It was a 25-30 drive for us. A drive I will be doing again real soon. Thank you to all“
“Aversanos holds a special place in my heart. The owners are great men who care about their food, but even more so, about their customers!The service is great, and don't even get me started about the food... the seafood ravioli is to die for!If you are looking for a fine place for a date, or nice, authentic Italian food, then look no further than Aversanos. They even have gluten free options. What are you waiting for? Get over there.“
“First time visit for me but I believe my girlfriend has been here in the past. Took her here for her birthday/Valentine's Day dinner food was excellent. Service was really good too. Prompt quality service and food. If you haven't been give it a try, you won't be “
“Amazing food, and service. Chef Fortunato makes such amazing dishes I can’t even fathom how delicious those dishes were. Zuppa de Pesce was so delicious, chicken francese so good and the chicken practically melted in my mouth. Everything overall was cooked to perfection. Lastly Rigo was amazing in serving us and making sure we had the most best first experience possible. Will be coming here a lot more!!“
“A cozy Italian-American in Mahopac on Route 6, that is worth a trip from anywhere! The review, may sound like hyperbole, but it's not! A friend mentioned it had good food, great prices, and table service and he was going down there, so we all stopped in for lunch. Great decision. The prices are very reasonable! One of the best Italian-American restaurant/pizzerias I've found in years; and I've eaten more than my share of pizza in many countries. Only top quality ingredients are used! We each ordered a different 12" pizza, one for each of us. In hindsight, we could've ordered one pizza that the three of could have shared and would we have been satiated! My significant other ordered a prosciutto and arugula pizza. She had one at Cancino's in Mexico City November 2019 and LOVED it. We've never seen it on another menu here. So, when she saw it on their menu, she ordered it right away! It was perfect! There was about 4 ounces of arugula and the $20 something a pound prosciutto on it. See the photo. No crispy cremated prosciutto chips nor wilted arugula arrived to the table. My friend had the red meat pizza. It looks like about a pound of sausage meat and a whole pepperoni was sliced and put on his pizza. He kept picking pepperoni off his pizza and putting it on ours. What we had looked like a normal pepperoni pizza; there was that much on his! There was a small group who ordered pasta dishes. They looked great also. Yelpers get a 10% discount.“
“Nice local New York Italian restaurant. Food is very good...but I gotta ding a place that charges you for each additional tiny cup of coffee. Things are expensive nowadays, at least give free coffee refills, especially with those tiny tiny mugs.“
“I used to come here all the time before COVID, and I had the pleasure of going back this week. I was pleased to see that the restaurant had undergone some renos. It looks wonderful! My party of 4 was seated immediately in a comfy spot near the warm fireplace. Service was great throughout the whole meal. Several servers continued to check in on us throughout our time at the restaurant, and they were kind and respectful. I ordered the Fettuccine alla Bacio, which was very tasty! Portions are sizable, too. I'll be back!“
“Love Maria's Pizza when we moved up here to Yorktown a few years ago Maria was the first pizza shop we ordered from and they never disappoint. The service and delivery is great and everybody's always very nice when they answer and take our orders. Definitely recommend Maria's pizza and we're definitely going to try there. The drunken chicken is my favorite chicken Parm pizzas excellent. Tried the new cannoli chips and dip loved we're gonna soon try Maria's famous 3 foot pizza cause we'll be having a gathering so we're gonna try that when ordering it arrives early and hot so if you're in the Yorktown area, try Maria's Pizza. You won't regret it.“
“These guys go above and beyond. I live in Phoenix az and they packaged my order so I could take it home on the plane and then when I ordered for my family for valentine's day they separated the portions to go to 2 different places for me. They are great and the chicken francese is just awesome. Thank you guys can't wait to get back there, you're my 1st stop for dinner. ❤️ ?“
“Food was good. Service was quick the location is nice but it's a little small. I only had typical El Salvadorian pupusas. They were very good. I would go back for those again but seems like a lot of people came for the soups. Which I didn't try. It gets busy but mostly take out. I would order the Spanish food since everyone there is Spanish. I don't think the Italian side of the kitchen will be as good as the el Salvadorian one since there is not Italians cooking it.“
“Benvenuto's has delicious food. I moved a half an hour away from this establishment, but I still come back to get the best eggplant parmigiana in the world! Great garlic knots and a delicious marinara sauce to boot. Rocky, the owner, is a friendly and fantastic guy. If you want some scrumptious Italian food, check out Benvenuto's in Mahopac. You can't go wrong!“
“We came here for my sister's birthday over the holidays. Very cute restaurant, nicely decorated with welcoming ambiance. We got a table for 6 set up easily day of. We all got different entrees and everything was very tasty and enjoyable. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had a great evening.“
“The food is excellent. As a NYer from Queens and Brooklyn I know pizza. You will love it. Are there better? Perhaps if you search hard but these guys are consistent and delicious and they treat you with respect.It's a pizzeria. You don't go for the ambience. You either have your friends for a slice or you are taking out!I took off one star from service due to a high credit card surcharge which adds a burden. The staff are great.Terrific delivery staff.Parking: It's a busy part of town.But they deliver!“
“WOW this was some good pizza!My wife had a slice of pizza with basically every veggie known to man on it, as well as a cheese slice with pineapple (don't judge LOL), and she gave both a 10/10.A had a couple slices of Sicilian, and BOY those were good. Also 10/10 from me.Cute atmosphere inside and nice staff. HIGHLY recommended if you're in the area and are hankering for some pizza goodness.“
“The pizzas, wedges, mozzarella sticks and zucchini sticks were out of this world!! I had family in and my sister ordered a bunch of NY pizza to bring home to her family ? there's nothing better than NY pizza ☺️? the service was excellent and the atmosphere was so friendly! They have dine in, take out and delivery. Definitely would recommend this place to anyone!!!Kid-friendliness: 5 stars on kid friendliness ☺️?“
“Delicious. While I was waiting for my order, I noticed a couple at a table enjoying soup. She looked delicious. Ask, What are they eating? . They informed me that "Seafood soup." I wanted to try it and requested an order. Ummmmm what a delight, great flavor, little fat, good protein, shrimp, oysters, clams. I enjoyed it. My wife ordered another order and she loved it. I recommend this dish If you want to eat something nutritious, light and delicious. For less than 10. there is parking and the restaurant is central. They also sell pizza of various flavors and I notice that they make delivery. The place has table service, they are diligent, warm and attentive. I should clarify that I ordered a small soup, but I should have ordered the large soup.“
“I went here and felt compelled to make a review.My boyfriend, his son and I got off at a random exit on a drive home and we were all hungry. My boyfriend and his son ordered pizza - spoiler - it was AMAZING - but before they even ate it, I felt compelled to take a few pictures and leave a review.The guy behind the counter was SO sweet and personable and cared so much about his food.They also had lots of "Tell us about your allergy" signs which I thought was very considerate.Super warm people, the pizza was outstanding, and if I lived in the area I'd definitely be back.“
“It's a pizzeria, nothing fancy, but the food, especially the pizza is beyond fabulous. If you like tender calamari, you must order it here. You will not find better anywhere. If you are lucky enough to come when Mario make his homemade bread, you are not going to want to share it.“
“This place has one of the best pizzas in the world. There is cheese pizza taste's great, and they have really good cashiers. Another thing is there seating, there seating is great and there is a lot of room for you to sit. I recommend this place for pizza lovers.“
“Pizza and salads were excellent. I ordered thru an app and was informed to pick up at 5:30. When I arrived at 5:30, I had to wait another 15 minutes for the food to be ready. I counted 13 other people also waiting for pickup at the same time.“
“Mike and joes Mahopac has been a family favorite for years, the family is always welcoming and food is always good, many choices in the showcase so I can never decide because I have never had a bad meal! Bartenders are the best! Music is nice and, never have to wait long. This place is a FACTORY! Thank you Viktor see you again soon!“
“Tastes like home. Having moved away from New York, Peppinos is a must whenever I'm back in town. Crisp, thin crust. Hot, bubbly cheese. Friendly staff that remember their regular customers and make them feel welcome. Easy in and out location with tons of parking.“
“This is strictly regarding takeout:Lady that answers my calls is always graciously politeDelivery guys are just as graciously politeI haven’t ordered everything on the menu, however I have ordered ALOT of items (different apps, entrees, sandwiches and pies) and everything is always properly packed and deliciousHighly recommend?“
“I've been going to Eduardo's for several years now with friends weekly, and I've never left disappointed. For a cozy spot tucked away on Secor Road, I remember thinking upon trying it the first time that the food was remarkable. Nothing has changed since...and I've sampled many dishes over that time. The service is impeccable, and one of the reasons I look forward each week to my visit. You never know where you're going to find a jewel.“
“Best place for an excellent meal and fabulous drinks .Vegetarian options: Really tasteDietary restrictions: They are a variation of choices and adding accommodate at your needs .Kid-friendliness: I saw them when I went with a group of friends on others tables.Wheelchair accessibility: Space is big“
“We’ve been coming here for many years and absolutely love it! My family has had so many parties here over the years and they always do such an amazing job. Whether you’re coming for dinner or their daily happy hour (4-6:30pm everyday; 50% off any drink and bar bites) or throwing a party, you won’t regret it! We came yesterday for happy hour with 8 people and the service was incredible.“
“Fantastic NY Pizza Shop with a wide variety of delicious, huge, original with tons of toppings. Family favorites are the chicken parm pizza, gramma pie, salad pie and the Sicilian also try the chicken rolls, delicious. The service is friendly and fast, it's the type of place where they know everyone by name. Truly a gem.“
“I have taken out and catered on several occasions from this italian restaurant and I have never been deceived. The Wild Truffle Mushroom Raviolis are a hit. Also excellent dishes are any of the seafood platters: grilled octopus, coconut shrimp, fried calamari… everyone raved about the food during our party gatherings. Our go-to local fare favorite.“
“It's a nice place to eat food is delicious, but the outside appearance always looks like it's close , he needs to put up lights in the window and clean the windows and the those curtains out and put art on the windows to make it “
