“By far the best new restaurant in Mamaroneck in years! great food and service.“

“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.“

“Excellent place to have a party! Eddie and his staff were amazing!! Can't wait to have another celebration there again 😊“

“Awesome authentic Italian restaurant. Live music/band on Wednesdays. Service is fantastic. The meatballs are so tender with great flavor, chicken picatta was fresh filling, tiramisu wad the best with a cappuccino. They gave us a free Sambucha (the orange one is good). The owner/manager, Walter introduced himself and sat at our table after dinner to ask us how we were doing etc..
I will definitely be coming back.“

“Outstanding food at this cozy, rustic restaurant in Mamaroneck! Wide choices in every category. Everything is impeccably fresh, and beautifully presented by chef-owner Andrea!“

“Great service and incredibly tasty food !!!!! If you haven’t been you’re missing out!!!!💯 Food and service was outstanding, thank you for an enjoyable afternoon 😊“

“Great service and great food ! Beautiful outdoor space w fireplace“

“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 .“

“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.“

“Best Ravioli ever! Especially when just made vs frozen. Creamy insides drive my kids crazy, so we have to get them midweek for dinner.“

“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.“

“Vegan Friendly ❤️🩷 Great place.“

“My good friend and myself stumbled into Dolce Vita not too long ago when it was the only restaurant in Nyack that was opened very late. We struck gold. We have been back several times and the food, the service, the owner, the atmosphere are the very best . All are wonderful.“

“We just used Pizza Luca for our daughter’s first birthday and i can’t even explain how great the day was. Dean and staff were amazing and food was so delicious. The truck was awesome and made a statement parked in the driveway for all our guests. We really appreciate how involved and accommodating the team was with our event. Highly recommend booking them, i know we will be again in the future!“

“Great atmosphere, organized party, excellent service and staff, amazing food, very relaxed party planning that led to a stress-free gathering of 80 people.

Really Beautiful Restaurant, with great staff! The owners love what they do and it shows! My favorite entre is the homemade squid pasta with seafood( get it in the garlic white sauce) Really great! They also have very good steaks for the carnivores out there for one or two people(no need to go into the city to a steakhouse when this restaurant is in the heart of Hartsdale NY, across from metro north! Benny makes the best drinks! They also have a "Really Good Happy Hour"! Whatever you choose you will not be disappointed!“

“Friendly owner/manager and great service“

“I Highly Recommend Amore's Staff & Cuisine ☆☆☆☆☆ !!!“

“The staff and customer service are exquisite. I would highly recommend for any type of event.“

“Bar Rosina is where culinary ambition meets existential dread. Awarded “Restaurant of the Year,” it serves dishes that look like art and cocktails that taste like confusion (with a hint of rosemary). The ambiance is chic, the service efficient but joyless. Great for impressing your date, less so for your wallet or soul.“

“I don't remember the server's name but he is Albanian. He was a big-looking guy, very friendly and outgoing. He made us feel right at home. He did a surprise birthday dessert for my 50th. It was me, my mother, and two sisters. Thank you for your service.“

“Absolutely delicious. Will be back!“

“Best restaurant in Westchester!“

“We love this place! We started going to Antoninos years ago so we were hesitant to try it just being a creature of habit. And just like Antoninos,Alessias DID NOT disappoint! Our server Marco and Host Melissa are always top notch, so welcoming and friendly! The food is beyond amazing 🤩“

“We just had a baby shower there April 3th, 2022 It's so easy to work with Leo. We had a brunch buffet and everything was terrific. The wait staff and the food. We had a wonderful time.“

“Great place!! Food was delicious and the service was top notch!! Highly recommend it!!“

“Shared the ship Marsala, Veal Martini and Penne! The best I have had in a long time! Neighborhood/ low-key spot! You will not be disappointed!“

“Hosted a small family reunion here during weekend lunch. Very food. Attentive, amazing, kind service. Looks like nothing on the outside but inside is lovely.

Parking: Behind the restaurant they're are about 14 spots in a lot.

Kid-friendliness: They were great with a baby and two toddlers. High chairs were available. They brought food early for the kids and had some kid friendly items and sizes.“

“I just attended a large group party here. The attention and service by all the waiters was fantastic. The food was very good and generous portions. Next time I will make a better choice of entree because I know it's difficult to make all kinds of food ready at the same time. I will be happy to come back for another meal.“

“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...“

“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!“

“The dining experience at this charming Ardsley establishment is outstanding. The owners Scott and Heather Fratangelo have continued to hone their talents in fine food dining into their lovely L'inizio. We travel from Manhattan when we can to grab a meal there. The quality of the food rivals well known and touted restaurants in NYC. Their menu changes for the seasons and usually another creation of theirs is added to their already amazing menu.“

“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.“

“Classic Italian prepared fresh daily.“

“the food is so amazing. this place never disappoints.“
