Last night we went to Risotto to celebrate a birthday with two dear friends who had never been there before. (Don’t you just LOVE going with new friends!) Trying not to hype the place too much, we simply said, “We think you will enjoy it”. Did we ever! Risotto’s intimate, cozy atmosphere with its white and black linens, candle on the table, and soft sophisticated music playing in the background is oh so welcoming. Attentive service and tasty beverages add to your enjoyment straight away. Some new menu offerings now supplement many of our favorites. We started off with the Antipasti Misti, a generous, delectable assortment of fresh mutz, prosciutto, soppressata, provolone, roasted peppers and tomato bruschetta. Wonderful with their delicious breads! For Entrees, two ordered the uniquely prepared Pork Chop – pounded, lightly breaded, topped with melted mutz and a mushroom marsala sauce – So Satisfying & Yummy! Two others ordered the Chicken Scarparo, a wonderful variation of Scarpariello. Fork-tender chicken, thinly sliced hot & sweet Italian sausages, and linguine instead of potatoes – all the better to sop-up the delicious white wine sauce! The fabulous, assorted Dessert Platter was decadent – Italian Ricotta Cheesecake, Tiramisu, Tartufo, Crème Brule, and Cannoli – Yes, I DID sample each! Along with the platter came a large, sparkling candle, dry ice induced “smoke” for the table, and a hearty rendition of Happy Birthday from the staff. Oh, don’t forget to treat yourself to a Cappuccino! Sincere THANKS to Chef Kevin and all the staff at Risotto for again creating yet another memorable “event”!

Cafe Alaia

Scarsdale

About the restaurant

Situated just a short walk from the Scarsdale Metro-North Station, Café Alaia, a Michelin award winner 2020 thanks to its cozy décor, soaring ceilings and welcoming owner (Vincenzo Alaia), the dining room is all buzz. Thoughtfully arranged tables, framed by rustic wooden chairs, typically bear elevated versions of regional Italian dishes. Pastas are a highlight and fittingly so, like tender spinach- and ricotta-filled ravioli bathed in a melted sage-infused butter. Squid stuffed with crab, spinach and breadcrumbs is augmented by perfectly poached cherry tomatoes, not unlike the fresh figs set atop a crostata di pere. A bar in the middle is ideal for solo or couple diners who want to linger.

Our brand new space has plenty of room to accommodate social distancing. We have installed the highest rated air purification system with state of the art UV technology combined with MERV 13 Filtration.
