Alex and his team are always so hospitable, kind, fun and charismatic! We go to Alexs at least 3 times a week!! The food is always perfection. Great quality and portions for a great and enjoyable meal. The wines are the best! Especially the reds! We also love hanging out at the bar and eating/drinking while having great convos with the regulars. Alexs food and atmosphere make it a very fun & enjoyable time! Highly recommend!!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options upon request. On the menu they have plenty of delicious pasta dishes, beautiful salads, amazing eggplant parm, and the best soups!! Not to mention AMAZING bread!!Dietary restrictions: Chef always accomodates our meals based on our dietary restrictions. Always so tasty! They can pretty much make us anything even if not on menu. Always delicious.

Absolute gem of a restaurant. The food and service were both top notch. One of our best dining experiences and one of the best Italian restaurants we’ve tried since moving with our high standards from New York City to Westchester a few years ago. Highly recommend going here for a special occasion or just whenever you want a nice Italian dinner - the front of house staff and the kitchen will all take care of you.

Alex himself greeted my 3 friends and I. we were a party of 5 originally on our reservation. en route to restaurant a friend cx. we arrived and Alex, the owner was the rudest, most uninviting person I have ever met. He expressed he was angry that now we were only a party of 4 and he has to make money. He was outright belligerent, quite frankly terrifyingly angry. He came to our table and proceeded to argue very loudly. I shared how his behavior was an unacceptable and a disgrace and that if it wasn't 2 degrees out we would find another place to go. He responded,"leave, I don't care leave." How dare he behave in such a manner to 4 grown woman. with that said, I will not return and do not recommend this restaurant.

Alex's Bar & Grill in White Plains is a favorite Italian restaurant of our close friends so we decided to try it last week. Although there was a Restaurant Week ongoing in White Plains, Alex's was not participating in it but we decided to go there nevertheless. I would rate the restaurant solid in all aspects- decor, food quality, service, and they have on-site parking which is almost always an issue when dining out in White Plains. The menu has the standard Italian favorites that you would expect plus many daily specials. The dishes were tasty and the portions were large and the service was caring and attentive. The short rib special over performed! The Chicken Scarp was above average. The bread is excellent. Value? I would say that it a bit expensive compared to other Italian restaurants in the area- but it is also a level above with items such as tablecloth service. $13 for dessert is a bit steep but since the six of us were sharing one dessert the service team was wise enough to send over an overside portion of very good apple strudel. That's the difference between ok and really good service levels. The overall experience was almost a throw back to the days of older style Italian restaurants- and I mean this is a good way. Will I be rushing back to Alex's Bar & Grill anytime soon? - perhaps not because there are just so many restaurants doing an identical menu that are closer to my residence. But, I also would not hesitate to go there again or to recommend this place to others. Very solid but not spectacular (see my review for Patricia's in the Bronx for spectacular).

Chill staff, amazing food, and energetic atmosphere. Great for a post-work meal or drink(s).
Now I’ve been here 5+ times to have Prime Ribeyes. Ribeyes are not on the menu, but always have them and all you have to do is ask. Staffs are always on point and steak is better than most major big name steakhouses. A hidden gem and will be back for dinner every night I’m in the area for work trips.Parking: Not a lot of spots but enough for the size of the restaurant. Also can park on the street.
