Restaurants in Pleasantville

“Very clean and the food is delicious.”

“We hosted an intimate wedding celebration in the elegant party room at Jean-Jacques. It was a joy to work with Donna Sullivan, who handles functions. She provided us with expert guidance in choosing the menu and every other detail. The room looked gorgeous, the food was exquisite and our guests were well cared for by Donna and the other servers. We received so many compliments from the attendees who remarked that they had a wonderful time and that the food was delicious. The bride and groom, and all of their friends and family, enjoyed themselves immensely and were able to meet, connect and have conversation in an elegant atmosphere. The party room is indeed a hidden gem at this premiere bakery and cafe in Pleasantville. My husband and I are not from the area and had never been to Jean-Jacques, but I contacted Jean-Jacques at the recommendation of a family member and couldn’t have been more pleased. It was exactly what we wanted. We had ample room for 40 guests and a jazz piano player. From the appetizers, Bellinis, Prosecco, wine and other beverages, to the sumptuous gourmet buffet dinner to the most delicious celebratory cake, everything was PERFECT. I say this as someone who has organized many events professionally over the decades. Donna Sullivan and Jean-Jacques are top notch.”

“How did I ever go without this place! The very best!!!”

“If you ever want to impress your friends & family with your good taste, take them here! Ever since they opened, we've continually been returning to this awesome restaurant. Going with friends and/or family who haven't been before, makes the experience even more enjoyable. Straight-away, newcomers are impressed as they review the eclectic menu. We tell them, honestly - we've never had anything on the menu that we didn't LOVE. It was not unusual that, on this week's visit, our party of six couldn't make menu selections 'cause everything sounded so good. No problem, we simply "ordered for the table"! Ready for this - we ordered: 2 orders of Pulled Pork Sliders, 2 orders of Brie Stuffed Pretzels, Asador Corn, Watermelon Salad, 2 orders of Smoked Ribs, Shrimp & Grits, and Chinese Chicken Salad. OH MY, what a Scrumptious Feast! Not a morsel was left over! When the friendly, attentive waiter suggested dessert, some said, "I can't eat another thing!", and "oh, maybe tomorrow". I suggested, perhaps some very delicious iced cappuccinos, or an outrageous dessert drink. Everyone ordered something. I then said to our party, I think we need some accompaniments. My wife and I got the waiter on the side, explained we had a Birthday Gal at the table, and ordered an assorted dessert board for the table. Moments later, the board was presented with a glowing birthday sparkler and a rousing rendition of "Happy Birthday". Immediately, the signature Carrot Cake, Mexican Chocolate Covered Churros, Bourbon Glazed Donuts, Cheese Cake, and Vanilla Gelato began to be devoured. Nearby patrons could be heard saying, "We'll have what they're having!" It was another memorable, Great Time at Southern Table. Bravo to the Chef and Staff!”

“Wanted to give a shout out to the restaurant, Freddy’s, in Pleasantville. Went with a couple of girlfriends a few weeks ago and then again with my hubby last week. Both meals were delicious. The appetizers are yummy! Most of all, though, I wanted to remark on the atmosphere. The people in charge are just delightful. Had a chance to meet the owner. He told me he named the restaurant after his grandfather ( forgive, it might have been his father). Either way I thought it was nice. He has a young family and loves what he does. They have been open for two years, but I just found them now. If you haven’t checked them out, you should soon!”

“A friend and I met for early breakfast at the House Kitchen for the first time. The food and service was excellent. I had a breakfast burrito with ham and my friend had the ‘hangry’ sandwich. We also got some fried cheese and plantains from the self-service buffet section (pay by weight). The burrito and the Hangry Sandwich were both very large and tasty. We were both quite full. The service (family owned) was very good; the staff was very pleasant and kind, explaining various menu items to us. The place is small with a few table but very pleasantly decorated. We would definitely recommend it for breakfast or lunch.”

“Great quality, great value and Kosher!!!!”

“Great service, friendly and helpful staff. Inside seating and a outdoor seating in the rear, which you can enter also. Paid parking both on the street and lots. Handicap accessible in front entrance, with a slight slope. In the rear to the outside seating is also accessible from the sidewalk and from the inside.”

“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!”

“The bartender had a positive vibe. The IPA beers were excellent.”

“We stopped here once from out of state and everyone was so kind! The pizza was amazing, the best pizza I’ve ever had. Here we are 3 years later & I can’t stop thinking about it, eventually I will come back for more.”

“We went here for the first time last night to celebrate our anniversary. The service was stellar, the atmosphere was lovely and the food was simply spectacular. I highly recommend this place to everyone. We will be back”

“This place ia great, though the place may smell like weed i can assure you the staff are not the cause of it but definitely the people who live upstairs or are outside of the restaurant (which marijuana is legal so it wouldn’t matter anyways). Great food, great service & great atmosphere. The nonsense that others have to say is outrageous & shouldn’t be paid mind to. Crawdaddy’s is very welcoming :)”

“Fab cocktails and small plates”

“Great entertainment!! Friendly staff.”

“Thank you to W&F for your amazing customer service. We ordered family style take out for my birthday last night. there was a small issue with the main course. After speaking with manager she not only was empathetic but addressed the issue quickly and effectively. Will happily order another wonderful meal again. Thank you!”

“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!”

“We were in town visiting the college. Decided to go for a bite and picked The Pleasantville Diner and a good choice it was. Very filling and service was great!! Will definitely go back 😊”

“It’s all about the food and atmosphere, Vela has both! So delicious and a def must try!”

“Still coming back here for 20 years even though I now live out of state. This place is a treasure.
Always clean, service is always great, food is delicious.”

“Fantastic local place with the best wings around!”

“One of the best places in the area for authentic Latin American food—hands down better than the spot across the street (no food war intended!). I order the same dish every time because it’s consistently the best-tasting food I’ve had with excellent portion size for the price, in Westchester County and I'm from Rockland County. I’ll drive over the Tappan Zee just to eat here. The staff are incredibly kind, too. I’m not sure of the name of the gentleman who usually works the register, but he always greets you with a warm smile and is genuinely positive! 5 STARS”

“Had to be one of the best pastrami sandwich I had in a long time. Staff was friendly and quick.”

“I like to frequent stores where the proprietor and employees go above and beyond. This is one of those establishments. It is clean, and the owner is one of the kindest humans I have ever met. We were passing through when our son got carsick. He went above and beyond out of his way to help us. The world needs more people and businesses like this.”

“Good deli good prices, they got your Mexican Staples, American breakfast options, wraps, sandwhiches, Mac and cheese, coleslaw and almost every drink. You have seating space too with a TV to chill if that's your thing. Recommended if you're hungry for breakfast or lunch.”

“Absolutely the best pizza any place around always go out of my way to go there. Love it.”

“As A local DJ Entertainer I was performing up the street at another venue wanted to change it up so came here for a Great meal and a Drink , what’s not to like ! We were greeted from the entrance asked where we wanted to be seated & we were seen immediately and were served food and drinks in under 14mins which was great , WILL DEFINITELY be back to CRAFT 🙌🏽”

“Our favorite sushi spot - love and crave their red dragon rolls. Also their salmon fried rice yummmm”

“i drove here all the way from danbury, ct & let me tell you.. this place did NOT disappoint! hands down the best tacos & quesadilla i’ve ever had in my life. the crunch of the warm shell mixed with the ground beef and cheese was 🔥. the chicken in the quesadilla was shredded and amazing. my friend had the steak tacos, and i’m not a big fan of steak in general but i tried some of hers - it literally melted in my mouth. if i was going to eat steak it would be here. literally everything was cooked to perfection. the drinks being absolutely on point was just a bonus. please open a location close to danbury so you can take all my money😅. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”

“This Dunkin’ location is very good. The drinks and food were always great. I’m a big fan of the caramel iced coffee and the bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant. The only downside to this location is that it is very hard to get in and out of the small plaza that it sits in. The street is normally very busy with traffic, and it can be hard to pull in and out. Also, the parking lot is small and is very limited.”

“I really enjoy this subway location. There is very easy street parking on the corner of the building, and their food is excellent. The subs are very tasty and all of the ingredients are very fresh. I also love their chocolate chip cookies! They also have some very friendly staff as well.”

“Exactly what you want a Carvel to be. The soft-serve ice cream is delicious in a way that the other ice cream stores and trucks can’t/don’t match. And somehow this particular Carvel seems to make extra creamy soft-serve, even though I know that’s unlikely since I assume they’re following a standard recipe. Service is always friendly and helpful, and they have buy one get one free Sundaes on Wednesday!”

“Stopped by for an early dinner. We were greeted with a smile when we walked in the door and seated quickly. Restaurant was clean, spacious, and nicely decorated. Menu was expansive with plenty of choices. Our server, Nicolle, promptly took our order. Food was fresh and tasted great. Service was top-notch. Will definitely be back in the near future.”

“Delicious food in a comfortable atmosphere”

“Great place to go with friends and family.”

“First time there and absolutely loved it. ❤️”
