Not only was the food delicious, but I called donatos for an impromptu bday party for my daughter and they could not have been more accommodating. Warm and cozy atmosphere - we will back for sure!
Food was excellent. Had the calamari, drunken chicken parm and the pecan tart. All were out of sight. Was a nice place and was not rushed to leave. Can't wait to go back again.
This is a great local spot, they have rotating specials. The food and the service is always wonderful here. The pizza is also awesome. Go every once and a while or take it to go, stop in you can't go wrong.
So pleasantly surprised with everything we ordered via grub hub. Everything was piping hot, delicious, and well packed - even on a Friday night. Will definitely be keeping this place in my back pocket. I thought my husband was an insane person to order veal as take out, but it was better than anything we’ve had at a restaurant in recent memory. Great local place!
Been on a quest for the best pizza in Westchester. This is the first place I can honestly say is actually good. Good sauce, great crust and not overly salted. And the customer service (despite what people below reviewed) is top notch.
Excellent food -- been going there for literally YEARS (even when it was in it's prior incarnation) and the food is always very fresh and high quality. There are some wonderful waitstaff, in particular Juan Carlos, who has been there for years. The owner himself is very friendly and outgoing. The salads are excellent, and really all of the italian specials they have are always good too. Bonus is great biscotti to end your meal with an espresso!
Food and atmosphere was excellent. Even on a very busy Friday evening. But because it was so busy, service suffered a bit but not enough to knock it down by More than one star. Overall we would definitely come back and heartily recommend this restaurant.
It's so nice to be back in one of our favorite restaurants after more than a year of COVID precautions. We felt completely comfortable with the tables very well spaced and the staff unobtrusive but attentive. The food is the same excellent quality we always enjoyed. Their app and delivery helped us cope with this past year. Love this place!
