“The place is absolutely beautiful, with exceptional warmth and elegance. The staff's service is among the best I've ever experienced, and as for the food, I'm simply speechless. Without a doubt, this is a magical and incredible place!“

“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!“

“Their chicken alfredo is the best!“

“Simply Great“

“Vegan Friendly ❤️🩷 Great place.“

“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!“

“Great food and service was excellent“

“My wife and I were there for a political function combo meeting and Christmas luncheon. This establishment is super clean, bright, and cozy. The food and wine were delicious. I had chicken parm. Was fantastic. Was batted down thin and breaded and seasoned to perfection. VERY tender, I only had to use my folk to cut. The marinara was fresh semi chunky lite delicious and perfect. The fresh bread came in handy to clean up my plate. My wife has a fresh pasta marinara dish and NO complaints there. The waiter and waitress were professional, non obtrusive, thoughtful and caring about their service to us. Thank you iL Portico for having us and making us feel welcomed! Merry Christmas!

John made the pizzas and they were delicious. I tried for the first time the margherita vodka pizza. OMG it was Ah-making.

“I order pretty frequently from Dom’s in Nanuet since I work nearby. Yesterday, when we got our order to Sloatsburg, there was an omission in the order ( we really should have checked before we left). As always, Dom’s went above and beyond to make this right. They drove my order to Sloatsburg and included several delicious extras! Their catering always makes our events delicious, but yesterday they made it extra delicious. Dom’s has amazing food and even better service.“

“Love this place. The food is delicious. The staff is wonderful!!!“

“The food is some of the best Italian I’ve had this side of 287! Delicious and great portions. The wait staff is exceptional and the parties are so much fun! The drinks are creative and scrumptious.“

“Outstanding service and everything we ordered was excellent and delicious.“

“Really great Italian food! Can't wait to go back,“

“Great food at family owned restaurant“

“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.“

“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!“

“Absolutely delicious. Will be back!“

“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.“

“Love their food and excellent service. Waiters are very attentive. ❤️“

“I have been coming here for years. I consider myself a good cook but when I need good food that I don't have to prepare, this is my go-to place. The staff and owner are great! Try the stuffed peppers, Chicken Milanese and Lasagna. OMG!“

“Grazie di tutto! Twice, recently, I dined at I'l Fresco with friends and family members; The words they used to describe Il Fresco were: -Fabulous - dinner was scrumptious -Phenomenal restaurant and staff -Tastiest sauce in the world - delicious hot bread out of the oven. -An Exceptional dining experience. -Amazing homemade tiramisu - wonderful desserts -Best meal ever - better than the meals I had while visiting Sorrento, Italy. From my cousin who went back to Belfast, Northern Ireland: I am keen to get back to visit again and hopefully we can visit the fantastic restaurant again, can't remember the name otherwise it would be getting a 5 star from me. Frank, Henry, Marissimo, and the entire staff always go the extra mile to provide "5" plus Star service. Thank you also - to the wonderful chef and staff behind the scenes. Thanks for everything! Kindest wishes, Colleen“

“Food and Staff is over the top amazing. 2 Thumbs up. We love this place. One of Best Italian restaurants in Rockland County.“

“Some of the pizza i had in westchester. This spot is truly underrated. Its a nice family business with phenomenal service. And most importantly the pizza is amazing. This spot is a sleeper and nice thin crust style. You definitely need to try this recipe lace out for sure.“

“More like 4.5 stars than 5.Never heard of a risotto ball, and they were delicious. We got the Ragu, Margherita, and Pesto risotto balls. They were all good. Flavors weren’t too pungent like I prefer but I wouldn’t say they lacked flavor. It was delicate. Textures were ON POINT, lovely crisp on the outside. They used grass fed beef which is a huge plus for me. The person working there was very nice as well.I only wish the price was lower based on what you get. But I’d consider this a treat“

“GREAT food!!! Will order again for sure! First time ordering was the meatloaf! We LOVED it! Can’t wait to order again! Thank you!!!“

“Always great pizza, always delivered quickly -- and if you ask for "well-done" the pizza is crispy on the bottom. They will make any combination that you want, but we especially recommend the chicken marsala pizza, and a cheese pizza with pesto and mushrooms on top. YUM!“

“Great service and legit delicious food. MUST EAT HERE!!!“

“The owner is wonderful and whoever is cooking. The food comes out perfect everytime. They treat their patrons like family. Never have been disappointed“

“Everyone is friendly and Courteous“

“My new go to place in North Rockland!!!Omg even tho they increased the price of a large pie by $4 since they opened only a month or so ago it's still way worth it for a $20 large pie !!! Taste is undeniable evidence of its superiority to the other local places ! Owner is cool and great people, only reason I gave 4 for atmosphere is because it's a little packed to dine inside , people on line to order got their backside in your face as you're sitting eating dinner lol. But that being said .... Avanti is the place for pizza in North Rockland county NY - Ralphie Castaldo“
