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!!

It's a pretty place, but, it is SO LOUD that everyone is screaming to be heard. The foursome next to us literally yelled at each other, simultaneously, through the entire meal. So loud the waiter brought me two wrong drinks because he just couldn't hear. For that alone, won't go back. Take a two less tables, don't pack people in so tight that you can't get up from the tables. I get it bodies are money. My crab cake was one of the best I have had, top in Rockland County for sure. Food was good, Would love to go back and try again, but if we walk in and everyone is screaming, I'm out.

I've been to Lanni's about 6 times in the last three months. I would give it 4 star stars! It's a hidden gem in Sparkhill that is beautified orated. The food is delicious and different than any found in Rockland. The service is impeccable. The hospitality is unmatched. The location is quite small and gets crowded so you need reservations at least 3 days in advance or more for a weekend. Those owner is Vittorio and his wife Kim make you wan to come back. It's on the pricey side but well worth it. The portions are large. Save room for the homemade tiramisu for 2. This is not a red sauce and garlic kind of place. The Siena's are all Italian and run between &18 to $35 a glass. Be prepared for a fine dine experience.

What a phenomenal experience . We were amazed not only by the quality of the food, but by the presentation and service. You can taste the love put into each dish with every bite. The cocktails were creative and the wine list is tremendous! The coziness of the restaurant makes you feel as if you are home. This is one of the finest restaurants in this area hands down. Kudos Vittorio and your amazing staff! We will be back and do yourself a favor and make a reservation now!! ( they have a charming bar as well)They are old school which I love too... call the restaurant, speak to a human!

i recently dined at Lanni's food was good but be careful when you order anything on the special's make SURE you ask the price because they don't offer it and the special i got was $135. not a good business practic.

Fantastic dinner experience! I was here with a group of 10 girls and the staff went above and beyond for us. All of the food we had was great: calamari, squid ink pasta, duck, etc. the cocktails were also on point. The ambiance is lovely. Perfect for a date or a girls night out. What really stood out to me here was the friendly staff. The dinner was a farewell event, and it was truly a memorable dinner. Can't wait to be back!

Everything about this restaurant is top notch. Ambiance was very nice but a little crowded. Service and waitstaff were superior, they were very friendly and knowledgeable. Our waiter had some very helpful recommendations. He was a pleasure. The food was absolutely 5 stars. Appetizers and entrees were delicious. Why only 4 stars? Here's the rub. The restaurant is exceedingly expensive. I don't mind paying for excellent food and service but it seems that this place is just a little more expensive than some of the other very excellent restaurants in the area. Is it worth the extra $50? Up to you to decide.

Good try but no cigar. I grew up in the restaurant business. Family owns Grissinis and River Palm.Kate, who I am assuming was the Maître d made us feel like we were in the way standing at the tiny bar. She was not welcoming nor friendly. We sat by the door 1/2 blocked by a wall with a breeze every time someone opened the door. The decor curtain which blocked the view of the front door was on backwards. Very crowded passing food over everyone. Awful design. The rigatoni was very salty. The only reason it got two stars was Ryan the valet kid had more etiquette than the staff inside, he was overly friendly and sweet. Good job Ryan!!!!
