Service was slow, friendly but slow. No manger working this night according to staff…read more Food was plain at best. Portions are small. I first ordered Linguine with Vingole This was served with with absolutely no clams in the shell. That meant that everything had came from a can, nothing Fresh. When I asked where are the clams? The server responded. I don't make the dishes. I asked to replace with Chicken Scarpariello. All they served was a piece of chicken breast in broth. One question they have absolutely no idea the correct way to make the dish or they pretended they didn't know. But then it was too late. After having been there already for almost an hour and a half and just receiving food.. What I did receive was good. But you can find good anywhere better and ambience.

I'm not feeling the City of White Plains these days. When I…read morego to see my cousin who lives in White Plains it's a whole day at the mall. I take the train for day trips. Day long shopping trips to White Plains have been familiar to me most of my life. We catch up on family talk while going in and out of the stores. Before the mall became a shopping phenomenon I had a better time in White Plains. Over the years White Plains lost its glitter to me. My visits turning into bland uneventful days just trying to enjoy time with family. I could be wrong but I feel this city stopped trying to attract visitors. It's hard to get around without a car. I have no plans to return any time soon. Besides my family stopped inviting me!

First thing about White Plains, I love traveling to the Westchester Airport. So much better than coming in and out of LaGuardia!!! Less traffic and no construction. You literally need to plan a couple hours for that mess ... not here, arrive an hour ahead of time and you'll still have plenty of time. The city itself only has a population of about 60,000. I'd go as far as to say that they definitely have quite a bit going on here for the population level. Plenty of dining and activities. It is definitely an industrial area with plenty of buildings and production going on here, but they have a very nice mall and some pretty amazing places to eat at in the immediate area. If you are looking for a place that can keep you entertained and has you within an hour of the main part of NY .... this isn't a bad spot and in fact I've come to enjoy this area quite a bit.

A True Gem - Rini's Restaurant and Wine Bar…read more Rini's Restaurant and Wine Bar is truly a gem. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed into a warm, inviting, and impeccably clean space that immediately feels comfortable and special. Owner Leo sets the tone for the entire experience. He is gracious, friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly takes great pride in his restaurant. He respects his customers and makes everyone feel valued--something that is increasingly rare and deeply appreciated. The food is outstanding. Every dish is carefully prepared, incredibly fresh, and made on the premises. Each plate is savory, flavorful, and consistently delicious. You can taste the quality and care in every bite. The staff is just as impressive--friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring about their patrons. They help create an atmosphere that feels both professional and personal. And as if that weren't enough, on select evenings Rini's offers live music featuring well-known entertainers. These nights elevate the experience even further, creating a vibrant yet intimate ambiance that makes dining there feel truly special. Rini's is more than just a restaurant--it's an experience. Wonderful food, exceptional service, and memorable evenings all come together beautifully. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning again and again.

The owner is an absolute delight and a true artist. You can taste the passion and attention to detail in every dish. The Caesar salad was crisp and flavorful, the sausage and peppers were perfectly seasoned, and the braised chicken thighs with creamy polenta were incredible. Their fresh focaccia sandwiches disappeared almost immediately, and the pizza rustica was a huge hit. Everything was beautifully prepared, fresh, and delicious, making our celebration feel truly special. If you're looking for exceptional Italian food or catering for a special event, Mambo is the place. I can't recommend them highly enough!

Shoutout to Ana who is so warm and had great recommendations, welcome to us and our dog! We even made friends with another diner at the restaurant and hung out together on the rainy night.
