   Every meal I’ve ever eaten here has been wonderful. This was no different. They really do an exemplary job, with delicious food and excellent service.

   The food and service here are amazingly good. The outdoor garden patio was extremely disappointing, though. Apparently, the garden is not leased by the restaurant and it has been largely cut down by the neighboring tenant. So there is no ambiance for outside dining whatsoever even though the website promised there would be. The patio abuts an auto repair shop and a parking lot. So, best to eat indoors. Again, overall AMAZING for food and service, indoors which is really what matters if eating indoors.

   Very limited menu. Several chicken entrees, a few pastas, few seafood choices, no veal. Dessert menu uninspired. Expected more after reading a few positive reviews. Not bad but not worth a second visit for us.

   The food was excellent. The wait staff was accommodating, however the two people who might have been in charge were angry and unpleasant.

    Such a warm welcome walking in, the entire staff and owners are so hospitable. Beautiful decor smartly decorated. Good wine list and excellent food. Can’t wait to visit again next time I am in town. By the way, we could hear all of our surrounding tables expressing their enjoyment of the food as well. Moms birthday was a success!

    Third visit in 2 years here. Good: best spicy margarita around But: they never seem to put all the elements together right; never the same problem -- new issue every time. I think we're done here.

    Uncomfortably warm. Bad odor coming from the men's room adjacent to the bar. Service was good. Appetizers were very good, one entrée was good the other was not. Bread was stale. Overall, this experience was inferior to the several other times we ate here.

    Decided to sit outside even though the indoor ambiance is quite nice. Outside is a converted parking area with some lighting and gardens. Food was great. Service was friendly and good even though they apologized upon our arrival about being understaffed for the 4th of July weekend. We’ll be back!

    I thought the food was very good. My one issue with it was that it was very heavily sauced. It was flavorful but over done. The service was friendly but a bit slipshod - two different people coming to take orders after it had already been given. The portions were generous. Overall, a very nice meal.

    One of the best restaurants in Westchester, L'inizio never disappoints. Everything on the menu--from savory to sweet--is made fresh in-house daily. Chef Scott and his team make extraordinary dishes out of the simplest of ingredients. He uses a lot of produce from local farm Hilltop Hanover. With many restaurants using premade sweets, it is refreshing to find pastry chef Heather's selection. And here's a tip... Always flip the menu for the specials! We find them innovative and delicious. The wine list is clearly carefully curated (ask trained sommelier David for a recommendation) and the cocktails are always amazing. Love the outdoor seating when it is nice weather. We also hosted a private event in their back room that left our guests wowed.

    We had a fabulous dinner at L'inizio last night. The smoked ricotta and the baked clams are so great I could just have had that for dinner. We also enjoyed an arugula salad, chicken parm and ricotta cavatelli. All outstanding. I cannot wait to go again.

    A real pleasure - definitely our favorite in the area. It showcases highly creative and impressively reliable cuisine. Remember this is a fine restaurant and (most certainly) not a "red sauce" place. The chef has a way of bringing out many earthy flavors and offering diverse ingredients which you can really taste and appreciate. Yesterday's special pasta was truly heavenly; pappardelle in a blistered cherry tomato sauce with burrata and toasted pistachios. Don't miss the bambolini dessert if you still have room.

    Absolutely fabulous! We shared 4 appetizers between a table of four and there was not one thing I didn’t love! I had petite filet special that was great! My husband and one other had rigatoni carbonara that was better and different than anything I’ve ever had. The squash parmigiana is amazing whether you’re vegetarian or not. If you have room for desert, the donut holes with chocolate sauce are fabulous! The carrot cake is too. With a weakened immune system I don’t eat out often but this will be my go to spot. The owners Scott (chef) and Heather (pastry chef) are like family!

    We love L'inizio because they develop flavors I love and can't either find elsewhere or replicate at home. They know how to activate every taste and smell, and pair cocktails, beer, and wine with the food menu to deliver memorable dining. Plus, the service is friendly without hovering. We love it and can't wait to go back.

    Delicious, innovative new Italian without having to go into Manhattan. Our halibut was perfectly cooked and came with an elegant, summery yogurt-mint sauce that was innovative. The wild mushroom pasta was excellent and the pasta had perfect texture. The slight disappointment was the angel cake dessert - the cake was just plopped on a pool of sauce. The pastry chef’s creations were always wonderful, perhaps an off night? We were big fans of Spigolo and are happy to have the chef and pastry chef much closer to us in Westchester.
