    So happy i found this place. What a little hidden gem with great tapas . Cozy chic spot. We started with arancini omg wanted to order more. So crusty outside and soft oozing middle. Also ordered crispy eggplant meatballs. If you didn't know u would swear they were meat. The marina is so amazing omg Had to order the ricotta gnocchi with pomodoro sauce. These are little pillows of light pillows. The sauce is so dam good and gnocchi was best i ever had We ordered the bellacosa pizza. Had prosciutto with truffle honey. The doe is super light but very crunchy. Prosciutto was imported and not over powering . I have to say i love how this place lets the ingredients sing instead of over spicing or too much sauce. Met the couple that own and they are so sweet and professional. Prices are great and parking not too bad. Cant wait to return. This is a must go

    Came here on a weekend without a reservation, plenty of space. Dobbs Ferry is a really cute town and there is plenty of parking on the street and a small near by parking lot as well. This restaurant is very nicely decorated on the inside, feels pretty cozy, also has plenty of outdoor seating as well. We have not been to an Italian tapas place before and we were pretty excited about it. One side of the menu has all the tapas and the other side shows the main dishes. We got all tapas. Overall liked the place, a bit pricier than I would like for the quality of food we got, but still a pleasant experience regardless. We go the $30 charcuterie board, very pretty as you can see, it came with 3 kinds of hard cheeses, overall very satisfied with it. Some of the other dishes we got include the shishito peppers, gnocchi, meatball, beet salad, etc. We enjoyed our experience here and would recommend if you want some nice Italian food with a cozy setting.

    Have been meaning to try this place for some time, this being a local spot. The space is very attractively designed and set up. The tables are well spaced, there's a full bar and the focus is on wine - a broad selection by the glass and bottles is available. Capable and attentive service. I opted for the Chicken Scarp, the Honey - the Chicken Marsala. The dinners include a salad option - and that's what we started with. Nice portion, flavorful dressing. The dinners too - well prepared, generous portions. Glad to have finally had an opportunity to visit.

    On route for a weekend getaway, and found this little gem, so stopped in for a quick bite to eat, along with enjoying some wine. As someone who doesn't have much of a fondness for wine, I decided to experiment and try, since there is an option for a wine flight. Definitely enjoyed the whites more than the red, but that was on me, and my choice on the wines. Paired the wine flight with the charcuterie board, which I enjoyed the different cheeses, nuts, but especially the jam offered. Quiant local, connected to a pizzeria that is right next door, so a fresh pizza can be ordered. Came in a little after doors opened, so it was nice and quiet, with smooth music playing. Host/staff floated around, quick to offer any guidance on the wine options. Street metered parking available, which is easily payable via park mobile app.

    Stopped here for a lite meal after touring the area. Decent selection of wine for a small cafe. Great place for munchies and wine. I added a salad to the meat and cheese charcuterie board to make it more of a meal. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Parking is on street parking which can be a problem.

    What a gem!!! W found this place quite by accident... we are visiting from Vegas for a wedding in Tarrytown. The owner, Frank, is a delight!! Helped us select the perfect appetizers (meatball to die for... and the sauce?! I need it as a soup!) . I had the Sicilian baked ziti... so so good! My husband had chicken francese... omg! Exquisite! I had an Italian wine selected by Frank that was perfect and my husband loved his old fashioned. The ambiance is cozy and intimate. Service was attentive but not overbearing. I only wish we lived closer because this place would be a staple for us. 6 stars! They have an IG account so check them out!

The centerpiece of this restaurant in my opinion is the beautiful horse shoe shaped bar in the middle of the restaurant. I typically enjoy a nice clean and clear bar so you can fall into the feeling of the restaurant and see what is happening all around. This bar had bottles of wines lining the bar, in my opinion I would remove the bottles and allow for a more open feel. Personally I felt that the bottles created a barrier between me and the bar tender. The outside tables are tables typically for 2 or 4 people with banquet seating and then chairs. Oh, my God How's this boy treating you? Very good wonderful started The service was attentive but not over bearing which created a relaxed feeling.. I was looking for a wine and cheese bar for a night our for myself. I wanted a place that I have not been to before and yelp directed me here Wines on Aug range from 15 and up for a glass which is not outrageous in price. They had a nice selection of wines and I stepped out of ny own comfort zone of a cab and tried the house Pinot Noir accompanied by the B6 board. Overall I was satisfied with the meat and cheese selection and baguette that was served with it had a nice oil on it. Presentation was well done with one exception in my mind, the breads ticks came in a package. Presentation factor went down with that. Take one of the small wife carafe used to serve the wine and present it in that. Overall I felt something was missing but could not put my finger on it. Overall this place has a great date night vibe.

    In the heart of Piermont, with the back of the restaurant facing the great Hudson River with…read moreadditional summer outdoor seating, this Spanish-Basque tapas restaurant has become one of the County's most popular dining destinations. This restaurant is known for authentic Spanish small plates, generous paellas, imported Spanish ingredients, decadent desserts, and wonderful warm bread to start your culinary meal with. Abdul and Roberto make a perfect drink, whether it's a simple Espresso Martini or their house-made sangrias. . All this in a warm and friendly setting. The seafood paellas are portion perfect ie; large, the tapas favorites include garlic shrimp, octopus, croquetas, Iberico ham, lamb chops, and seasonal specials. Because the dining room is relatively small, expect a noisy environment. Weekend waits can be long because of this restaurant's popularity, but it is so worth the wait. If one arrives early, there will be no problem with sitting at the bar or nabbing a table. The staff is friendly, the clientele is neighborly, and you're guaranteed to enjoy your restaurant experience here. For Piermont, it's one of the strongest dining experiences available, particularly if one enjoys sharing plates. If you're going for the first time, I'd order the garlic shrimp, a few tapas to share, and one of the paellas for the table. Thank you Benny for bringing Piermont to our neighborhood. *For those across the river in Westchester, enjoy Basque in Tarrytown.

Nestled just a stone's throw from the Tappan Zee Bridge, the intimate Spanish restaurant offers an experience that is both approachable and memorable. Where some menus can overwhelm diners with endless selections and unfamiliar terminology, Basque takes a more refined approach. The menu is modest yet thoughtfully curated -- ideal for those exploring Spanish cuisine for the first time. Begin with a selection of tapas before choosing from one of their signature paellas, including seafood, meat, vegetarian, or surf-and-turf options. Pair the meal with a pitcher of sangria and settle in while the kitchen prepares a dinner worth savoring alongside good conversation. Beyond the meal itself, the village of Piermont provides the perfect setting for an evening stroll along the river. It is a charming way to end the night before heading back across the Hudson and down into New Jersey.

We had the Chardonnay and it was the highlight of the meal. But it was hard to enjoy it with the vibe that we somehow were imposing. Honestly it was all male servers plus the owner and I think a woman's touch for hospitality would go a loooong way here to help this place be more convivial. The weirdest and off putting ambiance thing is that they were playing country music which did not vibe with the joint at all. We didn't stay for desert, and glad we didn't.
