“Have been going there since they opened. Never disappointed. The food is always good as well as the service. Prices are good for the excellent food that you receive. Have had private parties there which were also excellent. Would highly recommend.“
“I'm new to Pleasantville and I'm happy I found Frank & Joe's! I love coming here for my lunch break Everyone is always nice and attentive. I've enjoyed everything I've gotten from here. This is my go-to spot when I want to order something for lunch, or even dinner on the way home sometimes, too!“
“EXCELLENT!!!! Was there last night and the food was outstanding! Best Eggplant Parm and chicken cutlet topped with vinegar peppers, a fresh string bean salad W/ Gorgonzola and warm crusty bread. Delicious homemade Italian cheesecake for dessert . A 5 star for sure!!“
“I have tried the food twice in this place, the first time I had a good experience in terms of the food, this is my second time and it did not go very well with my order I ordered spaghetti Alfredo with shrimp, the food looked very good,but when I tried it it had absolutely no flavor and the sauce was very plain like water. The attention was very good on both occasions, I think this time there was a different person in the kitchen maybe, anyway I'm going to order once again to see how I'm doing on my last attempt.“
“Stopped by wood and fire this afternoon for an early lunch. We’ve been several times and I always get the brook street pizza with no mozzarella cheese (I can’t eat it) so I’m always excited for a thick crust pizza with lots of sauce, no moz, and pepperoni. It’s so good! (I’m sure it is with the cheese too!). My bf usually switches it up and got the picante this time and said it was really good. We got a side of truffle fries and they were delicious. This time I also ordered the wood and fire brownie and it did not disappoint. It’s easily enough for 2 people and it was so good with the brûlée bananas and gelato. I would definitely get it again.The staff is nice and the inside is really cozy. They have an inclosed ‘outdoor’ area that I’m guessing is more open when it’s warmer. They have a small parking lot in the front with some extra spots in the back. Looking forward to my next trip back!“
“Food is always great here! Went for two of the DJ brunches and it's so loud but I love it! Great timing with everything and love the vibes, although some of the customers seemed surprised by the fact they made a reservation at a bar with a dj ...“
“Came here and was very pleased with the service and food. Small restaurant with intimate vibes but very very very good food. We had the octopus, kale salad, and the mozzarella to start and that was phenomenal. I had the lamb bolognese, we also got the steak, fish, pasta special, and the pork osso bucco.Will be coming back for their suckling pig next!“
“My wife and I had never been to Tarrytown before, but on a whim got a reservation for our anniversary at Bistro 12. We couldn't recommend it more! We ate the lobster bisque, calamari and a Caesar salad to start. I had the seafood risotto and my wife had the Ravioli Tartufata, both very delicious. Both the food and service were fantastic, would return in a heartbeat.“
“Went for dinner last night with my husband. A wonderfully unpretentious spot. BYOB. Quite possibly the best Italian food I've ever had. Service was great. I can't believe it took us this long to find. Will absolutely frequent regularly go forward!“
“I came here For restaurant week with my family. The price per person was only $30 for lunch which was very reasonable considering we got three courses and the portions were still nice. The service was excellent, staff was friendly, and food was delicious. I would definitely come back! The tiramisu was outstanding!!“
“I love this restaurant. The staff are amazing and the food is delicious. The only thing I can mention is that they can change the music. The first time I went there, they were playing the 80s hits, it was so much fun! The staff and the gusts were dancing and having a good time. I think this was a better choice for the music. But overall, a great place!?? highly recommended.“
“Wonderful open space with amazingly responsive wait staff and a chef-owner who makes r rounds to see how you liked the meal. We had appetizers of burrata salad and a polenta with meat sauce and everyone had different main dishes all involving perfectly cooked seafood. No room for dessert but if we had the opportunity to eat dessert bo doubt it would have been excellent! Can't wait to return!“
“We have done a couple parties there the owner never disappoints it can be from 15 to 50 people the food and staff are amazing can't wait to do my son's party there in the spring. All of our freinds always tell us how they enjoy are parties there not to mention the drinks and appetizers.“
“My daughter-in-law is from Brazil and introduced my family to some treats like Brigadeiros and so I found Araras online and visited one day to get some . So happy I did and I’ve been back several times to pick up different treats and also to buy some groceries from the market. I must say that as wonderful as the food is, the service and people who work there are even more wonderful! They have always been so helpful and accommodating and make Araras a very special place. Thank you for doing what you do so well❣️❣️Parking: Easy to park!“
“It had been quite some time since I’d been here and the food was just as delicious as I remembered!Our group ordered Clams, Caesar salad with grilled chicken, Bow tie pasta with Pesto sauce, and an Arrabbiata pasta that was not on the menu.The pesto dish was practically licked clean . It was a large portion eaten by a tiny friend who seldom finishes her plate . The fact that she she managed to devour the entire plate speaks volumes as to the flavor.. I have to admit that I stole a piece of two because it looked so delicious .I ordered the Arrabiata, which was perfectly spiced. I think each and everyone of us enjoyed our food equally.The staff was perfect. They were very attentive, without being intrusive.I had to take a star away from the atmosphere simply because the overhead heaters in the patio area became too hot, and while they were incredibly accommodating in turning them off, it became too cold. Had they been adjustable heaters it would’ve been fine. Looking forward to coming back during the spring months and sampling more of the menu..“
“A TERRIFIC dINING eXPERIENCE- fOOD AND sERVICE wONDERFUL- gREAT wAITER WHOSE BEEN THERE AT LEAST 20 YEARS AND IS VERY HELPFUL; sPECIAL mEAL FOR A REASONABLE PRICE AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH SOMEONE AT YOUR TABLE! dON'T MISS OUT ON THIS oNE OF A KIND rESTAURANT- tHE waLKERS“
“Overall, it was an enjoyable dining experience. The staff provideds top knotch service and does an incredible job. You walk in and feel like family. The pizza is incredible, and the ingredients are fresh a must visit when you want a good slice or pie!“
“Great food and even better people! I placed an order after hours late on a Sunday night through Uber Eats. They called to tell me it was a mistake and they stopped delivering already, but when I explained that it was for my kids and we didn't have other options because we were heading home from the airport, they graciously agreed to make the food and deliver it to us! Thanks again!“
“What a marvelous restaurant Chef Vittorio has created in Sparkhill !!!As you walk in , you know you’re in for an old school experience infused with Vittorio’s talent!!Very attentive , knowledgeable and friendly service.Thin layered eggplant, Millefoglie Di Melanzane Alla Mamma Carolina ( his mother’s recipe), Polipo as tender as can be and a Carpaccio Di Manzo were some of the appetizers we had that were outstanding, followed by some amazing pasta and finished with Tonno Alla Putanesca that was OFF THE CHARTS and a perfectly done Berkshire Tomahawk Pork Chop!!Maestro, thank you for a wonderful experience!!“
“Great pizza options for both vegans and omnivores. We order takeout pizza from Rini’s every time I visit my friend in the area, and it’s such a treat! The crust is the perfect ratio of crispy/chewy, and they get the balance of sauce, cheese, and toppings right. Well seasoned, delicious pizza!“
“This little pizzeria has the cutest little front. It's across the street from the library and it has little seats outside. You could sit and have a nice cuppa coffee or slice of pizza. We like the chicken buffalo and a lot of the margarita pizzas. I love the calzones everything has been pretty good.“
“Have visited multiple times and will continue to come back. Specials are always on point. But the menu items never disappointment. Grilled shrimp, calamari, and mussels are all solid appetizers. Can't go wrong with any of the salads. Favorite entrees include the gnocchi, lobster ravioli, orecchiette, branzino, and chicken parmesan. Service has always been great. And it's awesome to have the option to sit outside on warmer days.“
“we found this amazing restaurant on a whim driving up north.. we stopped to eat and we were not disappointed. the food was fantastic. the staff was delightful. portions were large. I can't wait to find myself on a road trip back to this restaurant soon.“
“I started going to Amore a couple years ago. When we parked it looked very quaint , We walked in and it was like stepping into little Italy the staff will go up and above to make u meal fantastic. There us a area to sit outside when its warm and its so nice in doing so I would recommend it. My family has also spent many holidays here and the atmosphere and food is amazing as always but u need not just go for a Holiday any day is fantastic at Amore. Now the main reason for going here is the food is out of this world just like my nana and mom cooked and how I do so. As in the name Amore we love u food and reservations are highly recommended ??“
“Recently enjoyed a fabulous experience at Dolce Vita! The ambiance is cozy and inviting, the staff are exceptionally welcoming, and every dish we tried was a delight. Truly a hidden gem that captures the sweet life in every bite. Can’t recommend it enough!“
“Neighborhood gem. Consistently good. Fresh seafood and outstanding steaks. Super friendly staff.We go here regularly. They are not trying to be trendy or chic, only wholesome and delicious. The decor is a bit dated, but the food and service make it always worth a visit.Vegetarian options: Salads, some apps, pasta, eggplant parm, etc. No specific vegan or vegetarian menu.“
“Some of the absolute best food I've ever had. Fusilli bolognese and spicy rigatoni w/ shrimp are dynamite. Their newly renovated speakeasy is wonderful; they offer their full dinner menu either at the bar or at one of their comfy and intimate tables. The bartenders know what they're doing; their cocktails are delicious! Saturday nights they have a DJ that goes on at 10pm and really gets the crowd going. Highly recommended. Reservations are a must on Friday and Saturday for dinner.“
“This is a real pizza place. The pizza is awesome. They have all kinds of fancy slices during the day. The prices are on par with the area. The staff is great and will take care of your needs. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed.“
“Why aren’t more people talking about this place??!!!??My friends and I went tonight night for dinner and drinks because we saw they had the speakeasy and we love that vibe.We decided to sit at the bar. Immediately, the bartender, Steven/Stephen, starts telling us about the place and it’s rich history. He was so kind and helpful the whole night. He made sure he connected with us for a great experience.We ordered espresso martinis, because obviously. They were INCREDIBLE. You can get it with or without Baileys which was nice. We even got decaf espresso. The level of sweetness was just right. The foam was foaming. They were truly a treat. 10/10. I also ordered a Tiramisu martini which came with a lady finger on top. This was a little stronger but still nice and creamy with great foam. 9/10.The food was absolutely DIVINE. He told us the food is made fresh because they don’t have a freezer..?!?!!? Impressive if true. We started off with the Arancini because they are my religion. Mouthwatering. The rice was perfectly cooked. The crispy outside was amazing. The flavors melded together well. 10/10. I had the Spicy Rigs. It was made with homemade pasta…!!!!!!!!!! I am not a pasta girly but when it’s homemade…consider me a pasta girly. The sauce was smooth and creamy. The tomatoes really came through. I wish the Calabrian chilis poked through a little more for more of a spice. However, the flavors were still balanced. 9/10.The vibes were immaculate! We got there about 7. A DJ started playing music around 9:30. It turned into a club vibe which was shocking. The music was blaring so it did become hard to hear each other. The music was still good though.They do have HH Monday - Friday which seems like really great deals on drinks/food.I would 100000000% come back here and recommend it to anyone. I hope to try their sister restaurant soon, Hudson Prime Steakhouse, which is the only steakhouse in Irvington apparently!!!For me to live in Westchester all my life and to not have heard of this place before is crazy! It was so good.“
“The food is delicious!!!! My steak was cooked to perfection....the broccoli rabe and steak fries was soo yummy!!!! The pasta was soo tasty!!! The staff was soo kind!!!! I will definitely go back again and make sure to tell my friends and family to go too!!! Thank you Locali :)“
“Such a cute little Italian deli. The paninis and wraps are delicious. Yes, the prices are much higher than what you’d pay at another store but the quality is pretty good. I think it’s a family owned deli? Unsure but the service was fast and friendly. Been here a few times and there were lines to order each time but it went fast. Would recommend giving them a shot if you’re around.Vegetarian options: You can tell which options are vegetarianDietary restrictions: Has a pretty big menu. Unsure about vegan options but I think if you ask they could accommodateParking: Small Parking lot or parking in the streetKid-friendliness: Not very kid friendly. It’s a bit tight insideWheelchair accessibility: No stairs and there’s a ramp“
“The pepperoni rolls here are somehow the most amazing food on Earth. They had went downhill for a bit - which was still superior to most - but somehow have made a comeback to perfection. Only downside is that I do not live in Croton anymore, and the 50 we bought to take home are now having to be shared with the kids because they too have realized how great they are! Plus the pizza is superb. The soda fountain wasn't great, but honestly that's a tiny blip.Parking: Small number of spots but it lines up fine with amount of seating as long as it's not at capacityKid-friendliness: Great for kidsWheelchair accessibility: Seems easily accessible“
“Came here on a whim with a large group (19 of us) after we had dinner up the street. They were super accommodating even though they were very busy. Service and drinks were great, we really enjoyed ourselves! We’ve been here several times before and the service and drinks are always top notch. Can’t wait to go back for a date night with my husband soon!“
“I don't usually leave reviews but I had to for this restaurant. The food is sooo tasty but yet healthy as can be. The customer service is amazing! Door Dash didn't send the confirmation for my delivery to the restaurant and the owner delivered my lunch herself!“
“Est. 1976Layout/atmosphere*Small shop; freezer with pastas & prepared foods; cookies; breadsFood/drink*Large round ravioli (18) - good*Chicken parmigiana - good; thin cut but tender*Sunday Gravy - good; soup-like consistency*Rice Balls - good“
“amazing pizza! ordered the upside pie (its like an l & b spumoni style pizza) with a utica twist (its a detroit style not a sicilian but similar not as thick) and it was incredible. the sauce was on point, the crust chewy and delicious and the grated cheese on top was perfect…. the owner is incredibly nice and friendly which makes me want to support this pizzeria even more…. do yourself a favor and stop by this place…. you will be happy that you did…. thanks westchester foodies facebook group for highlighting this place… so glad i tried it“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Hollywood Pizza, and I must say, it exceeds my expectations. Let's start with the star of the show: the pizza. Each slice was a delectable masterpiece, bursting with flavor and fresh ingredients. From the perfectly crispy crust to the mouthwatering toppings, every bite was a delight.But what truly sets Hollywood Pizza apart is the exceptional service. The staff were not only efficient but also incredibly friendly, making me feel welcomed from the moment I walked in. Their warmth and attentiveness added an extra layer of enjoyment to my dining experience.And let's not forget about the inviting atmosphere created by the owners. Their passion for good food and hospitality shines through in every aspect of the restaurant. Whether you're grabbing a quick slice or settling in for a leisurely meal inside or outside on a beautilful day, you'll feel right at home at Hollywood Pizza.Overall, I can't recommend Hollywood Pizza enough. It's the perfect spot to satisfy your pizza cravings while basking in a welcoming environment created by passionate owners and friendly staff.“
“Lovely ambience, delicious food, friendly service, easy to get to, free parking. How can you not love homemade pasta. My husband had linguini vongole and I had some sort of pasta pocket filled with spinach and ricotta. My husband said his was delicious. My pasta was so light and the filling was excellent. We shared a side of shiitake mushrooms and put that on top of our dishes - perfect. They treated us to tiramisu because we went the day of the snowstorm and they had some left over that wouldn't have been fresh the next day. It was superb. Reasonably priced, especially the pasta dishes. We are already looking forward to going back!“
“Amazing homemade pasta! Chicken cutlet to die for! Even the simple Arugula Salad is so delicious! Service was super friendly. Chef came over and chatted with us - great guy! We have eaten there several times now and always top notch food.Gave 4 for atmosphere as a bit loud when we got there, but calmed down significantly.“
“We Came for our daughter's post-wedding Luncheon as a party of 6. Everybody absolutely loved the entire experience. One of our party even held a business lunch here less than a week later!The gluten free modifications were amazing. Can't wait to go back myself.“
“The service will pique your interest, the food will have you going back again and again. The wait staff was attentive but not intrusive. They could explain the menu and make recommendations. Each of us ordered risottos and all were very pleased with our dishes. The appetizers were delicious as well. I look forward to becoming a regular.“
“A Delightful Italian ExperienceI recently dined at Granita Cucina & Bar and it was fantastic! The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the ambiance was charming. I highly recommend it for an authentic taste of Italy. Can't wait to go back!“
“We travel from several towns away to eat here, it is that good! I very much appreciate being welcomed like old friends whenever we dine here, as well as the professional and friendly staff, delicious food, and my personal favorite, the chocolate martini! Freshly baked bread for the table, exquisite salads and appetizers followed by an array of entrees such as chicken fratelli (my favorite) or several seafood and pasta dishes. While there is usually a crowd, the acoustics are such that you can have a pleasant conversation at your table. There is a lovely seating area with floor to ceiling windows which feels like you are almost eating outdoors, as well as outdoor seating in season.“
“My family has been coming here for years and the service is alway amazing! For dinner I order the artichokes for an appetizer and the special of risotto with shrimp. Both were served quickly and came to the table hot. Cooked perfectly and so flavorful!“
“I stumbled upon this gem unexpectedly and was pleasantly surprised! I tried their BBQ chicken and cheese pizza, along with a small salad, garlic knots, and a calzone to go. The wait (4 minutes) was worthwhile, as the food was incredibly flavorful. The staff was friendly, and although though the place is small, the deals are substantial. This place is perfect for those late-night cravings, as they're open until 2 am. Can't wait to come back! :)“
“After eating here a few times for dinner and or lunch we decided it was a great place to do our office holiday party. I had noticed they have a private room with large glass doors and inquired about booking it. They got back to me really quick with a better deal than anything else local we could find, meal options, etc. But honestly we would have paid more. They printed us out menus for our event. They lined up two tables for dining and have the extra tables for a white elephant gift exchange. We chose to have appetizers served family style (nanas bread with cheese sauce and marinara, crispy meatballs ( these were so good!) tomato and mozz salad and calamari) there were a few plates of each dish placed and timed so we weren’t overwhelmed . Then we had four options- chicken piccata, halibut, pasta ragu and a vegetarian option. After this came out we did our gift swap and then had coffee accompanied by tiramisu and a lemon crostata dessert. This didn’t feel like a under thought buffet style party. It came out in courses- we had plenty of time to enjoy each other outside of our office. We didn’t feel rushed. The wait staff was so on top of everything. No one had to ask for refills etc. Multiple managers came in to check on us periodically ( and the owners brother) and they packed up whatever we didn’t eat. We actually took all the desserts back to the office. All in all I would 10000 percent suggest this for anyone looking for a party location. While we enjoyed it for a large office plus spouses Christmas party, it was spacious enough that I could see rehearsal dinners, retirement parties graduations etc. Everyone left happy! We’ll be booking it again in the future.“
“If the calamari was not so chewy, I would have given 5 stars. However, the spaghetti carbonara was superb, and, done right, without the cream! Just the right amount of bacon and not overly salted.The salmon was cooked to perfection. It could have used a little less sauce, but the flavor of the salmon did shine through. The service was excellent. All of the servers were attentive and friendly.An excellent experience overall. Keep up the good work. ??“
“This was an amazing restaurant and the food was to die for. For the appetizer we had the smushes in white whine and garlic sauce + I ate the whole plate. So I was only able to taste dinner but it was delicious and so was dessert. You must go! And our waiter: Sante was amazing!“
“This is definitely an "Old School" Italian restaurant. We had a large party, and they have a dining area off to the side that nicely accommodated us. The wait staff kept our water glasses full and checked in often. I'm not sure if the food service is slow on purpose (so that you don't feel rushed), or if it's just slow. There was a ton of bread and butter on the table along with olives, cubed cheese and a tomato bruschetta sauce for dipping. The fried calamari was tender and tasty. I'd give it 5 stars. Everything else was fine. (I thought the Mussels Bianco were over salted.) Though my date loved his Shrimp Marinara (which had a lot of other shellfish in it too), our other friend didn't love the fillet of sole. BUT, another eating companion LOVED the Osso Bucco. Ya' can't please everyone, but it sure is a nice place to sit and enjoy everyone's company!“
“Absolutely love dining at Dolphin South Trattoria in Pleasantville! The Chicken Scarpariello is hands down my FAVORITE dish – bursting with flavor and always cooked to perfection. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, and the service is top-notch!! Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious Italian cuisine!“
