So good that weekends are packed, so make a reservation or try a weeknight. You will not be disappointed!“

“My husband and I had another terrific meal at Broadway Bistro last evening.
We ordered from the special prix fixe menu that had so many great choices, it was hard to choose.
We settled on the scallops over polenta and the spring rolls with teryaki to start, and the panko horseradish flounder and grilled shrimp salad. Desert was the poached pear with raspberry sorbet.
Everything was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The wait staff is friendly and extremely efficient, and just make dining there such a terrific experience!“

“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!“

“First time ordering from here tonight & they did not disappoint! Best slice I've had in a while.“

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

“I order pretty frequently from Dom’s in Nanuet since I work nearby. Yesterday, when we got our order to Sloatsburg, there was an omission in the order ( we really should have checked before we left). As always, Dom’s went above and beyond to make this right. They drove my order to Sloatsburg and included several delicious extras! Their catering always makes our events delicious, but yesterday they made it extra delicious. Dom’s has amazing food and even better service.“

“Absolutely delicious. Will be back!“

“Always great pizza, always delivered quickly -- and if you ask for "well-done" the pizza is crispy on the bottom. They will make any combination that you want, but we especially recommend the chicken marsala pizza, and a cheese pizza with pesto and mushrooms on top. YUM!“

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

“Outstanding service and everything we ordered was excellent and delicious.“

“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.“

“Wonderful food and great service!“

“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.“

“Great food at family owned restaurant“

“My good friend and myself stumbled into Dolce Vita not too long ago when it was the only restaurant in Nyack that was opened very late. We struck gold. We have been back several times and the food, the service, the owner, the atmosphere are the very best . All are wonderful.“

“I have been coming here for years. I consider myself a good cook but when I need good food that I don't have to prepare, this is my go-to place. The staff and owner are great! Try the stuffed peppers, Chicken Milanese and Lasagna. OMG!“

“I meant to leave a review the first I ate here, but forgot. Well, my white pizza was so good, I had to return for more. Customer service was great both times. The first time I walked in and the second time I called it in. I was very please with the phone order because the young man on the phone told me how much my order was if I was paying in cash or card (up charge for card). And the first time I went the person behind the counter had a conversation with me that I enjoyed. I will be back.“

“From the food to the service to the ambiance of going to your grandmother's for Sunday dinner, everything is amazing.“

“GREAT food!!! Will order again for sure! First time ordering was the meatloaf! We LOVED it! Can’t wait to order again! Thank you!!!“

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

“Being a true food critic isn’t about penning florid restaurant columns — it’s about possessing the palate to discern the sublime from the merely adequate, the memorable from the forgettable. And let me say without hesitation: this trattoria is anything but mediocre. In fact, it is the embodiment of authenticity and craft.

At the heart of it all is Giovanni, the proprietor — a man of knowledge, commitment, and quiet ambition. Hospitality is in his blood; he is the son of the founder of Blue Dolphin in Katonah, another local culinary gem. Here, he honors that family tradition while carving out his own legacy.

Giovanni understands what so many in the industry forget: excellence is rooted in the fundamentals. The sauce — rich, balanced, uncompromisingly fresh. The pasta — hand-shaped with care, including spaghetti alla chitarra, its square edges expertly cut on traditional strings so the pomodoro clings lovingly to every bite.

It’s in these details — the harmony of textures, the precision of seasoning, the restraint that lets ingredients speak — that the meal transcends mere nourishment. You leave the table satiated, not longing for more, but savoring the lingering echo of flavors.

Giovanni personally curates his suppliers, choosing only the freshest, finest ingredients. Seek his counsel when ordering; he will never lead you astray. In a world where “specials” are often an afterthought, here, they are genuinely special — dishes worthy of the spotlight, each plated with pride.

This is a place where passion meets tradition, where every forkful tells a story, and where mediocrity dares not enter.

BRAVO!“

“They helped host the Marquette ROTC Ranger team while competing at Sandhurst. They did a fantastic job making a lot of pizzas for many hungry cadets. Highly recommend.“

“Great food and friendly staff! Welcome to Stonypoint!“

“Beautiful experience in Peekskill… Tasting menu was well worth the the try! It won’t let me post the awesome presentation!!! Pork Bao Buns! Tempura Broccoli &Lions Mane mushroom Rice wrap!!!“

“We regularly have dinner at the restaurant and the food is always fresh and delicious. Hector is the most wonderful server, always so welcoming. This Friday I used their catering for an event. Mario, the owner, personally delivered the food. It was delivered hot and packaged perfectly. My guests raved over everything from the bruschetta to the chicken, eggplant, pasta to the cannolis. You also could not beat the price for this level of quality.“

“I eat in this great spot many times a year! This is the best place to pass a nice evening. I visit this place at least once a month. The cooking is of high quality, the staff is friendly and the rates are reasonable. I enjoy being in this restaurant for a decent supper.“

“We have ordered from here many times and love the pizza. But this week, we needed to order a Gluten Free pie, which was not only delicious but came with its own pizza cutter, so there was no cross contamination! Well done, Peal River Pizzeria!! Thank you for that!

“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.“

“Delicious food in a comfortable atmosphere“

“Personable, Professional, and courteous establishment. Very clean work at a decent price..“

“Best pizza I've ever had in New York. Visited last October from West Virginia. We talk about how good the pizza was all the time. Wish we could get it shipped here lol. Will definitely be stopping in our next trip .Everyone was very kind as well...“

“Food was great and we loved our waitress She was wonderful ❤️“

“Delicious delicious food Service great. Love to come back“

“First time there. The food was good, the portions were large and the staff were very friendly and polite but with that being said, the service wasn't all that great. Drove up from the Bronx and even though it was enjoyable, I won't be going back. Why? Because I hate to be "nickel & dimed" ...I never question prices. I order what I want but when the check is upwards of $70 but I see I was charged for both cups of coffee, it's a turn-off! A little advice: let your customers be aware that there are no free refills on a cup of coffee instead of surprising them with a $10 charge for coffee. Good luck!“

“My family had an absolutely delicious and delightful late lunch/early dinner here. The staff were incredibly nice and treated us like family. The food was so good we all couldn’t stop talking about our meals. The chef definitely knows what he’s doing and the flavors are top notch quality and authenticity. I cannot say enough good about this place. We cannot wait to go back for another meal. Fantastic food, great drinks and a wonderfully hospitable atmosphere.“
