“The food here is excellent. Started with the artichokes and burrata, super fresh, super flavorful. Perfect sized dishes to start. We then had the mussels special and eggplant dish. Both fabulous. For mains we had the sea bass and lamb parpadelle, incredible! Braised for 9 hours, it was delectable. The service is wonderful, everyone is so kind. The restaurant is beautiful inside, perfect dining experience. Can’t wait to go back and try new menu items.“

“Phenomenal from start to finish!! We were lucky to have the place to ourselves for an early dinner. Dani, co-owner & chef, greeted us with a warm welcome. You could tell right away she had a genuine interest in making our experience special. We started out with a creamy, simple burrata that came with homemade focaccia. The bread was SO perfect. We each had salmon with Israeli couscous and broccolini. The salmon was cooked to perfection and paired nicely with the wine suggested by Dani. Then dessert…it was so difficult to pick just one!!! So we got three! Ana, the other owner, is the evil genius behind the to die for desserts!! Tiramisu, mascarpone cheesecake (we took it to go) and an apple cider donut with vanilla ice cream. (The donut was so absolutely divine that my boyfriend ordered a second serving!!) And can I just say the cappuccinos were on point! My mouth is watering just thinking about it all again! I hope others visit and enjoy the fabulous food, service and atmosphere at Mambo. We don’t live around the corner, but will definitely make the drive back because the whole experience was just that good. I wish Dani and Ana much success. You can tell it is a true labor of love for them. Cin-cin ladies!“

“Michelle was our server. Very friendly and efficient.
Food was outstanding.
We started with special mixed seafood in 2 large clam shells.
Dining partner had softshell crab (2) over linguini and he said it was the best softshell crab prep he ever had.
I had Chilean Sea Bass in a lobster bisque sauce with sweet potato crust over spinach.
Finished the meal with tartufo. Rich dark chocolate shell.
The chef has a flare for bringing out flavors with his combinations.“

“My husband and I had another terrific meal at Broadway Bistro last evening.
We ordered from the special prix fixe menu that had so many great choices, it was hard to choose.
We settled on the scallops over polenta and the spring rolls with teryaki to start, and the panko horseradish flounder and grilled shrimp salad. Desert was the poached pear with raspberry sorbet.
Everything was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The wait staff is friendly and extremely efficient, and just make dining there such a terrific experience!“

“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.“

“We chose Risotto to celebrate our anniversary, confident the food and service would be top-notch—and it didn’t disappoint! The surprise highlight?

“We brought in a great dinner from Rosina’s today. The food was amazing. Fresh and delicious tasting. And unfortunately they forgot one important item in the order and they were so kind to deliver that item to my house. Thank u Rosina’s.“

“My experience at Allegria Ristorante involved attentive, courteous and friendly waitstaff, a clean and well designed environment, and food that was superb. My friend and I both had the minestrone soup and the fennel salad with shrimp, expertly prepared and perfectly seasoned. Capping off our experience, our reservation was intentionally set for 6:30 PM - in August 2024, Saturday dnnertime entertainment is jazz standards in chord melody form expertly played by Raphael Silverman on a gorgeous Gibson Johnny Smith archtop guitar through a Henrikson Bud Six amp. Nice clean tone comes through very well in this setting .“

Benny makes the best drinks! They also have a "Really Good Happy Hour"! Whatever you choose you will not be disappointed!“

“I have patronized Angelina's for many years. We have had luncheons and retirement dinners over the years. The food and service is outstanding! Louis and his staff are a pleasure to work with! Thanks!“

“The dining experience was perfect. The hardest thing was figuring out what we liked the best. The asparagus salad was an impeccable blend of flavors, perfectly complementing one another. We suspected and confirmed that the smoked ricotta with unfortunately done on the premises and therefore we couldn't purchase it. The app size pastas were more than enough and each one better than the other. Never thought I could put the word carbonara and light in the same sentence. We don't usually get dessert, but because it was a birthday or we got the special carrot cake, again simple, perfection, light and moist paired with a not too sweet caramel sauce, and vanilla gelato.“

“We shared Fried Calamari which was nice and tender, not chewy at all. Both choose pasta - Rigatoni Bolognese / Cavatelli w/ sausage & broccoli rabe garlic & oil w/ cheese cake for dessert. Every thing was delicious! Staff couldn't have been more friendly and attentive.“

“We love this restaurant and I've been there several times. For our anniversary, my husband's birthday and this time we just had a family get together with 11 people. We had brunch this time and everything was wonderful. We find the staff to be extremely accommodating and friendly here. Never been disappointed.“

“Absolutely delicious. Will be back!“

“Best restaurant in Westchester!“

“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...“

“The best homemade pasta, mozzarella and ricotta in town. I even worked there, when I was a teenager. Steven continues to run the family business with such dedication to his customers.“
