Excellent food, friendly service and a beautiful setting. This restaurant doesn’t look like much from the outside, but go to the back for their patio dining and you’ll think you are in Northern Italy. Not usually a big fan of Vodka sauce - but their sauce is amazing. Reasonably priced and a full bar. Definitely worth a try if you are in Rockland County.

My husband and I were looking for some good Italian food and a casual, welcoming environment. We took a chance on this restaurant and it was very good. The food was delicious and the portions generous..we took most of it home with us. It was very busy, but we didn't feel ignored and we even told the server not to worry-we had no where to go and were enjoying just chatting and nibbling on the delicious food. Delicious fresh bread, homemade pasta..it was an enjoyable dinner.

The chill of a cool night was quickly dispelled by warm hospitality. Ordered a cold antipasto and mozzarella caprese. It came along with a large loaf of hot delicious Italian Bread. Both appetizers were large and fresh. House salad followed and was likewise crisp and tasty. Entrees were substantial. Two of us defaulted to good old lasagna and were not disappointed. The waitress was terrific and constant attention followed even though she seemed to be tending bar as well. Actually she was quite stunning (a bonus). Going back soon. Check for four including tip was $37 apiece. No alcohol.

My friend and I had a wonderful experience at Bolzano for lunch. We sat outside under the tent and had a great pasta lunch. The portions are huge, enough to take home. I had the red sangria which was delicious. Our waiter was great, the whole experience was very pleasant. We both agreed that we would definitely go back.

We ate dinner there in August on a Saturday from 5:45 till 7:15. The restaurant was literally empty, we were the only diners until one other table of three at some point. There was a wedding reception scheduled, but there was no impact on us. The found was okay, the clams were very good, the broth was super, but that was about the highlight. Nice service, food was not memorable, prices were on the high side. Since the water views were not in play due to the wedding, there was nothing special. No reason to drive that far for MEH.

Great place if you can get over the outside! I had my reservations about this place driving up however once seated I was pleasantly surprised Great attentive service and food was excellent... even the pizza With a little cosmetic touches and upkeep I think less people would just drive by thinking it’s a run down Italian restaurant.

Stopped by for dinner this past wed. night.The place was empty in spite of buy one entree,get 2nd at half price offered on Wednesdays.Service was excellent.Entrees come with house salad ,excellent house dressing.The portions are huge,most people leave with doggie bags.I ordered the chicken Scarpiello,very disappointing as the sauce was very bland,not a hint of garlic which usually makes that dish tasty.Excellent warm bread served with peppered olive oil.

My husband and I go here all the time. It is by far the best Italian restaurant around. Have been to many others in area and Bolzano's has the best food, portions and atmosphere. The staff is amazing and attentive. Our favorite place to go any night of the week.

The outside decor (not so great) does not match the interior. The dining area is comfortable (in room singer on Friday night, but not needed). The serving staff is very attentive to your needs. The bread is served hot. We had chicken parmigiana and chicken giambotta. Both were large portions but lacked taste. The entree came with a salad and the house dressing was amazing. The prices are on the high side. We would probably give this restaurant another try.

Last Saturday I ate with a friend at Bolzano Family Restaurant. It was a lovely experience. The service was good and the food was delicious. I had the eggpant rollatini, which comes with a salad. Both dishes were excellent. The waiter recommended the house dressing, and it was just right. My friend had fettucini Alfredo with grilled chicken and was not able to finish it; she took a doggy bag home. She also had the tiramisu, which we shared, and it was scrumptious. She finished with a capuccino, which she greatly enjoyed. This is a wonderful place; the chef is an artist with food! In both quality and quantity of food, it is far superior to Casa del Mare, the halal Italian restaurant down the road.
The attractiveness of the outside of the building is in indirect proportion to the warmth of the dining room. At lunch, a dinner menu and a list of (plated) luncheon specials was on the table. Upon inquiry received a “To Go” menu. While the server was pleasant, T Warm bread and butter & ice water was promptly but overall, the service was slow with only one other party of two in the dining room. My wife had soup which was declared excellent. When finally delivered, lunch was hot, tasty and fresh. I would recommend this established. Groupon deals available.
