“Wonderful experience, beginning to end, with the star of the show being the excellent and tasty food. We each had something different, didn’t wait long for the meal, and it was excellent all round. I had the Chicken Fontanella and the mashed potatoes and it was exquisite. Thanks for the wonderful lunch.“

“Great NY Pizza. We have fresh pie, Excellent“

“The food was very good. Everything was fresh and had great flavor. Wide selection of options so good for families. The service was not good. It took forever to get menus (we had to ask eventually) and it was almost half hour before we got our drinks and placed our order. Even more odd, we never knew who our waiter was. Normally they introduce themselves but I felt like we ordered from two or three different people. The value and quality was great. The amount of food we got for the price was enough to feed more than our table of 5. This is good value spot for big families to get an affordable and quality dinner Overall, not a terrible experience and would try again. If the service had been on par, this would've been a 5 easily.“

“Love love love. Been here a couple times now and plan on coming back many more. Wonderful staff and delicious food surrounded by a super fun environment. The bartender sang a few songs on a Saturday night and the whole restaurant lit up. A wonderful place to spend time in the neighborhood.“

The flavors and taste are just the best. No matter what you order you will not go wrong. The service is top notch and Rocco and his staff are just the best at what they do. Just go, you won't regret it.“

“Go for the reviews - leave shaking your head saying “those reviews were on-point”. The only annoying part, and not worth deducting even 1/4 of a star, is the pushy “ we need your entire order right away because everything is made to order” jargon. They do it to speed you along as you can’t get your apps until you order your main meal. But even with that and not having a reserved table ready on time - this place is 100% worthy of ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!“

Our waitress was knowledgeable and everything came out in a timely manner. I will definitely recommend la riserva to my friends.“

“Wife and I flew into JFK late one Friday. We were famished , it was 1030 by the time we got to Arthur Ave.. We parked and walked , came upon people eating alfresco. We asked if any place was still serving. The "MAN" Vic asked what we would like, from one of the tables. In no time we had a bottle of Vino Tinto in front of us and people were making us try food they were dining on. I felt like I was at my friends ,' THE PIAZZAS " house. The food was excellent and the people better. Can not wait to go back !“

Every dish at this tasting was perfect and represented the menu perfectly. The artichoke was pure bliss, hand made parpadelle magic, branding delicious and so much more! Chef visited every table which is key! Service was very friendly and attentive. The interior space was beautiful and inviting. It's a must go to, thanks Chef and Westchester Foodies!“

“Chef Chris was professional, punctual, and helped me host the most amazing dinner party for my mom‘s birthday in the Hamptons. He created a fantastic menu and was able to accommodate all dietary restrictions while keeping the meal, smooth, consistent, and absolutely delicious. He is not only a delight to work with, but incredibly easy to coordinate with. He was such a pleasure to have in the kitchen, helped me prepare the table and made me feel at ease, even though it was very probable that our outdoor celebration might get ruined by the rain. 12 out of 10 if you’re hosting a dinner party in the Hamptons or in Aspen, he is your guy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone for any occasion.“

“After living out of state for the past 5 years, we needed to find a local place to have a private family luncheon after funeral services for my father-in-law. We met with Sergio on Wednesday and he completely accommodated all of our wishes for that upcoming Saturday in his beautifully appointed private room. We couldn’t have asked for a better four-course meal and the staff provided service that was top notch and utmost respectful under the circumstances. We enjoyed a memorable celebration of life! Thank you Sergio & Staff for making a very difficult day, end with warm hearts and happy bellies 🖤 Until we visit again...“

“Delicious and authentic Italian food“

“Excellent food. Good drinks, fabulous views, friendly staff. Definitely recommend“

“I went here today on Valentine’s Day and it was so worth it. The 85$ pre fixe menu was fantastic. The lobster bisque was rich and the beef cheeks with risotto was delicious and including their famous baby jesus which I’ve never had before. Best bang for your buck. Everyone who worked there was amazing (especially Penelope who’s name I only got but the bartenders/servers were so
Kind) and attentive and KNOWLEDGEABLE. So friendly and the vibes are great for date nights. It really made my “holiday” and I will 100% come back.“
