So yesterday was my 52 birthday and I had been looking forward to my Birthday dinner for days. I had been to Risotto a few time and my favorite dish is risotto:) Yesterday was a comedy of errors. You know, those nights when a series of things just happened to go wrong. This is the first time I have ever experienced this here. A forgotten appetizer, then my dish was not completely cooked so I asked for that appetizer while I thought they were fixing my dish... well my server thought I cancelled my dish.... You get the idea. We all have these nights and I just had a week where I made a series of mistakes so I totally got it. I stayed put because dammit I wanted that Risotto! It was amazing. Everything I could have hoped for. I had the seabass special and wow! At this point my husband and I were laughing because we really thought is was funny. We could tell that Kevin and the staff felt terrible. So time for the check and I assumed the might comp my cappuccino or something. Kevin would NOT LET US PAY. I mean we don’t drink so our bill was just food, but still! I have never experienced that level of ownership. The man got on his knees at our table and said please forgive us and would not let us pay I always loved that place, but now we are customers for life!!!! Thank you Keven for making my day so special and my meal was amazing!!

Me and my husband absolutely loved all the food served!!! It was just incredible! The staff was very personable, knowledgeable and catering to all the needs!!! We are sad we don’t live close by. The ambiance was great! I loved the music!!! And I regret I didn’t take pictures of the appetizers...

Came here with family. The food was delicious, don't pass up the grilled eggplant appetizer. Service was attentive and the beers were cold. I live in NJ but would come back just to go here again.

Our waiter was fantastic. Young kid worked really hard. Drinks were real good. My Jack and Ginger was perfect. ( Most places serve flat ginger ale. Not here.) Baked Clams, Chicken, Pasta, Eggplant all fresh and delicious. Portions huge. I'm having it for lunch.. Nice bar, fun place for a birthday. Big parties of 8-10 easily seated.

Very nice Italian hideout with great pasta. It’s got a nice bar area with both indoor and outdoor dining area. Very typical family style Italian decor which makes it very homelike. Very cheesy pasta sauce.

The best Italian restaurant in Westchester. Food was amazing. The cacio and pepe made at the table in a parmigiano wheel is a must. The staff and owner were very attentive. They made a very good presentation to serve their desserts, without changing any extra for that! Creme Brulee is my favorite dessert at this place!
