Exceeded my expectations! Fried calamari and clam’s oregano may be on most Italian restaurants’ menus, but these were next level and cooked to perfection. I was looking for a lighter entree, but something other than my usual Eggplant parm, the Eggplant Milanese hit the spot. The eggplant was crispy and the burrata wonderful. My lunch companions were equally impressed with their choice choices The service was friendly, welcoming, and professional I will certainly return

Fabio (lookalike for Jude Law) was our waiter this evening for a party of 5, and his excellence added so much to our fine dining experience. The food was simply fresh and scrumptious. When a salad was sent to our table missing one key ingredient, Fabio took the plates back to the kitchen and had the salads re-made to perfection. The Branzino (also known as European sea bass) was an excellent choice. It had a delicate, flaky texture and was mild, with a subtly sweet flavor. The desserts and coffees were perfectly done. Thank you Michael Cifone and Matt Kay, for a truly wonderful evening. - Andrew Jay Gross

We popped in for lunch today. While the prices are not inexpensive, the experience was top notch and well worth it. The quality of the ingredients and size of the portions were great but it was the flavors, the presentation, service and decor that were next level. I did not expect to have such a meal. This is one of my new restaurants worldwide. I look forward to returning. I apologize that the photos were not the best, my camera is broken and someone couldn’t wait so the artichoke dish is not in its full glory. We had the sambuca shrimp….it may be in my top 10 dishes ever eaten. The sauce is perfection. The fennel, pear, blue cheese salad was refreshing and a delight. Shrimp risotto was outstanding. What a surprise to discover this gem and for it to be local is even more exciting.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Cifone’s in Irvington! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and attentive — you can really feel the pride and passion the owners have for this new spot.
We started with the beet salad and tuna tartare, both fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The highlight of the night was the tomahawk veal chop — perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavor. We wrapped up the evening with mini cannolis, which were the perfect sweet finish to an incredible meal.
A must-try addition to the Irvington dining scene — we’ll definitely be back soon!

I had no immediate plans of visiting Cifone’s as it is a little far from me, but when my new friend asked me join her for dinner, I could not refuse.
This place is worth the bad parking. I loved the food, atmosphere and service.
I didn’t think that I would ever taste an artichoke dish as perfect at the carciofe at Piccola Trattoria in Dobbs… but this one is equally incredible and yet totally different.
The shrimp sambuca was another favorite. I could drink the sauce. The rigatoni with vodka sauce made me wish that I could eat more pasta.
I LOVE a restaurant that cares about details… where you can see and taste the owners love throughout. I met the owners and they are adorable. Is that ok to say? and the wife of one of the owners… super awesome. She was the mastermind behind the tortoni dessert. Don’t skip this.
Food and service were both excellent, we stopped in after a long day of driving and sight seeing and we're very glad we did. The staff was very friendly and the food was excellent, if we lived in the area this place would be a regular place we visited for sure.

I love old school. This was a meal that had an old school feel with flair. The flavor and quality of my veal chop was beyond comparison. I would make this my go to everyday and any day!
I usually leave a restaurant and tell my husband- it was good. I will make that better for you tomorrow night for dinner. I cook- and can make anything you ask for.
But honesty they nailed it. Do not leave without ordering dessert. Kudos to the wife in that department.
Do yourself a favor - go and enjoy! And ask for the wife’s specialty dessert- the best secret dish! Better than my mom’s.
5 stars all around!

Stopped in for a quick bite and cocktail at the bar. Had the Chicken Parm Rollatini (amazing), Zucchini Flower (OMG) and an Arancia Negroni made with Gunpowder Orange Gin to top it off, also Amazing… place was already buzzing at 5:15pm. Staff/service was great and I felt like I was at home with the warm family atmosphere this place has. Love the cozy bar setting and an incredibly comfortable bar stool I might add. Will absolutely be back for dinner with the family soon. Cheers to Cifone’s.

This was our 3rd time and it has consistently been delicious. Our waiter was extremely attentive, polite and knowledgeable. The friendly cozy but yet sophisticated atmosphere brings the ambiance of your experience to another level. This has become one of our staple choices for date night and to bring new people who haven’t experienced it yet. I literally could order every appetizer because that’s how delicious they are. They have fun spins on traditional meals and that’s what brings this restaurant to another level. I can’t wait to go back. A must try: artichoke appetizer, clams, calamari, bolognese, pork chop, risotto are just to name a few. My favorite cocktail is the Sicilian margarita which has a smooth hint of orange which is delish! Enjoy!! A little hint, Definitely make a reservation it’s so packed walk ins may be tricky. Call ahead and see.
