   This was our 2nd time at the cafe. Service this time was poor - no water for awhile, drink forgotten about. Noise level was overwhelming.... Food excellent.

   One of the best restaurants in Westchester. Food is superb and the service helpful. It gets noisy as the tables fill up. Get there early because it starts to get crowded by 7:30pm on the weekends.

   The food was very good, noise level was very uncomfortable. They need to put in some acoustic treatments to lower the noise level. Service was rushed.

   The owner, Vincenzo, is on the floor constantly, and not just shaking hands, but making sure everyone is being taken care of very well. The menu is excellent and is topped by original specials. We have brought other couples many times and everyone enjoys the great food and service. The bar tender also makes an excellent vodka martini.

    Cafe Alaia consistently rates at the top of my restaurant choices. It never disappoints. The food is sublime and the service terrific. The choice of wines by the glass is also great. We will keep coming back, for lunch or dinner. I am happy it has outdoor seating. We sat indoors because it was fairly empty, but it would be amazing if they got outdoor heaters as the weather gets colder.

    Excellent specials reminding me of my year in Tuscany. Over last year we have tried at least half of menu (plus specials) in our weekly /semi-weekly visits. Never disappointed, always ready to return as soon as possible. Highly recommended.

    Food was extremely good and a very nice atmosphere inside. My only reason to rate it a 4 is because they rush you out of there. They make you order your entree when ordering your appetizer. We told them we did not want to rush and they were insistent on ordering the main course as well. We thought we would have a little time in between our first and main course, but our main course was brought out within 5 minutes. I get it’s a busy place, but paying that much for a meal and being rushed out is not something I enjoy.

    What a lovely place! Great service. Appetizers and chicken liver crostini are amazing. In terms of our entrees, lamb ragu wasn’t bad. It’s just we’ve had better ones elsewhere. As to the orata dish, we ordered it out of curiosity since we’ve never had it before. If I knew it tasted similar to tilapia, I wouldn’t order it. Maybe others will love it. I guess it’s just not for me.
