   Beautiful, intimate little Italian restaurant. All three courses were extremely rich, particularly the prosciutto de Parma to start, which was some of the best I’ve had. Only complaint is that service was a little spotty, for example: The waiter asked for my order 5 seconds after I had sat down The appetizer came out while I was in the restroom There was a massive wait between appetizer and main course Asked for club soda, did not receive it until 20 mins later In fairness to them, they acknowledged the long wait between courses by giving me a free fried cauliflower appetizer, which was outstanding. Will definitely be back. Food was absolutely on par with Mulino’s, perhaps even a hair better.

   Can’t imagine why some write-ups are so good. Overall experience lacking; perhaps because restaurant was empty on a Thursday night but service not gracious or responsive. The bread should have been given to the birds but salad and cauliflower appetizer very good. Entrees were average; salmon special small portion and overpriced. Were not offered dessert or coffee, took the check and departed.

   You’ll never have a bad experience here. Creste di Gallo is the best pasta I’ve ever eaten. Spiced pear martini is perfect. The cheesecake is unreal. Service is attentive and incredibly accommodating.

   Not a good experience. Food is odd. Chef seems to want to do his own take on classics but unsuccessfully. Unusual preparations. Too much salt, heavy handed with citrus. Don’t put citrus on my mushrooms! Stop putting citrus on everything. Oh, and take it easy with the vinegar in the scarpariello. The potatoes were ruined. Practically inedible. Sausage was tasteless. Try some restraint. Previous visit much better, now will never go back.

   This was our first visit to this restaurant. I would describe it as a local restaurant with upscale food. The barrel aged Negroni cocktail was excellent as well as the melon salad appetizer. My wife ordered the butter nut squash parmesan entree, while I ordered the chicken piccata. Both were very good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. You don't need to go to Manhattan for good food.

    This used to be our favorite spot pre-pandemic so this visit was especially disappointing. This was just not the fine dining experience that we had hoped for on a special family occasion -and for those prices. Sat at the plastic furniture on asphalt in the back with little to no decoration or ambiance. Kale salad was mostly goat cheese. The wait for entrees was ridiculous, nearly an hour. No apology from the wait staff. When asked they just said “the kitchen was backed up”. Did they forget to put in the order?? Had to ask for bread twice and second time never came. Felt like we were second priority. Overall food was very tasty but stingy on the portion size and seafood.

    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.

    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!

    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.
