Stumbled upon this little Italian gem and absolutely loved it. The authentic atmosphere was what first drew us in, and the food completely lived up to it. You could tell right away this was more of a local favorite than a touristy spot, which we really appreciated. They service was so attentive and appreciative of the customer experience My husband ordered the chicken piccata and said it was amazing. My son had the chicken Parmesan, and the portions were huge. I ordered a linguini pasta dish that was also delicious. We finished with cheesecake for dessert, and it was incredible. One of the things we loved most was the family-owned feel and seeing so many locals and Italian families dining there -- always a good sign that the food is authentic and well-loved. We honestly almost made a second visit during our trip, but family plans got too hectic. Would definitely come back again. Love finding places like this. read more

We ate here today for lunch. The food is decent. The servers are nice, the atmosphere is quaint and the space is very intimate. I loved the fried zucchini sticks because they were so lightly battered and delicious. The crab dip was delicious too but the fried bread chips were a bit hard yet okay. The white chocolate bread pudding was warm and delicious. My husband and son had the chicken parm and said it was average, nothing to write home about. My husband ordered the clams casino and they were very tiny. The mozzarella and carrozza was okay. The salad was small but fresh. However, my Italian dressing tasted watered down so I didn't use it. read more

We went to DeCosta's for a repass. This is my second time there for a repass, ten years apart. I immediately recognized the restaurant before we pulled up to the entrance. I remembered the inviting facade. The food was exactly as I remember...delicious! The service was attentive and kind. I live in NJ and wish we lived closer so we could frequent this well-established and home-cooked deliciousness more often. read more

The restaurant is located in the corner of highways so it could be challenging to get around and find it. The ambiance was ok. It's not the most established restaurant I have been to. The foods are good and for the dining Area this humble I would expect a little less expensive. But at least all the foods are good and authentic read more

I hope the owners of Decosta's read this review, because I'd like to apologize to them. I moved to Yonkers 7 years ago, passed this restaurant hundreds of times because I live a 1/4 mile away from this outstanding place. My wife and I went there this past Saturday. Can not stop thinking about how wonderful our experience was. Service, Dinner, dessert was a 10+ They will be seeing us a lot more. Wow !!! what an outstanding place to eat. Ada & Sal read more

Ordered take out on a busy Friday night. The order was ready upon arrival. I managed to score parking in the lot near the carry out area. Just ordered the rigatoni with sauce. Well prepared in its simplicity with good flavor and al dente. Will try again when in the area for more a complex dish. read more

Excellent food and service! I had not tried DeCosta's previously, but needed an Easter Sunday take away at the last minute. Many other restaurants were closed and I remembered DeCosta's being somewhat close to Bronxville so I thought I would give it a try. Needless to say my walk in order was prepared quickly and efficiently. It was still piping hot when I returned to the house with the order in my insulated bag, something not always the case from other restaurants and take away orders. I would definitely recommend DeCosta's for those in the Bronxville-Yonkers-Riverdale areas for take away orders and dining in from anywhere. I'm a little biased because I don't like reheated freshly prepared Italian dishes but others in my family do, and loved the leftovers they had from their entrées. We will definitely be back for take away and in restaurant dining. read more

De Costa's Fine Italian Dining 5/21/2024 Celebrating our 36th Wedding Anniversary we ordered a favorite Fried Calamari as an app. The size of the Squid was cut into nice size pieces and coated very well. The mouth feel was very tender and soft. I ordered the Seafood Pescatore that consisted of Shrimp, Clams, Mussels, and Calamari, in a Tomato Sauce, served on a bed of Fettuccine. The dish was very well made with a Devine taste. My husband ordered a daily Special of Stripped Bass topped with Shrimp, a side of Potato Croquettes and Broccoli Rabe. My husband said he thoroughly enjoyed his food and again it was very well prepared. The wait staff was very professional and attentive. Although this place is a bit pricey, it is more than well worth the price! I would tell anyone to come and give this place a try as you feel welcome and the food is excellent, you won't regret it. read more

So this was our first visit to DeCosta's. It reminded of an old Italian restaurant for the 70's. Very quaint! We went for lunch so there was only another small family there. The service was great and the food was delicious and freshly made. I throughly enjoyed my chicken franchise. My husband had rigatoni bolognese and he just said it was just ok. I definitely will go again and drag my hubbie back to try something else. read more

Delicious food and the fired calamari was amazing! I had the food delivered one night when I was too tired to go out and everything was still amazing. read more

First of all, it was not only Easter Sunday but my birthday. I didn't want to go to Manhattan; I wanted a good Italian restaurant close by and this was by far the best pick that I could make. We started with Clams Casino and Clams Oreganato. They both were absolutely, fresh, tasty and we loved them both. I had the capellini with crabmeat and shrimp and I was so pleased with the taste of the creamy tomatoe sauce and the sweetness of the crab meat and delicate flavor of the shrimp. This pasta dish was superb. My husband ordered the Seafood Pescatore with linguine. He was enjoying the dish and all the seafood ; mussels, clams, calamari and shrimp were all tender, fresh and delicious. We ordered the creme brulee with blackberries and dragonfruit. What a wonderful burst of texture, creaminess and crunch of glazed sugar browned to perfection. We have found our Italian Cucina that will be our "go to" in Yonkers. Tutti a mangiare a tavola. read more

My family have never been disappointed when dinning at DeCostas, it's our going to place. Excellent meal choices from Seafood , Chicken, Steak or pasta. The restaurant caterers to gluten-free choices which is very important to bring mom out for a meal. Thanks guys for always making us feel like it's home. Kevin read more

This is our local Italian restaurant and we've had great dining in & dining out experiences. The food is excellent, prepared fresh and the specials menu changes on a daily basis. My kids love the calamari here & ask for it on a weekly basis, we love the buffalo mozzarella when they offer it on specials. The chicken parm & scarpiello are favorites and the codfish oregano's is beautiful. The campagnola potatoes are so tasty! The staff are always very nice & attentive. I read more

This restaurant is an absolute gem. The service is top notch--better than what you find at most michelin rated restaurants.

This review is actually about TYALUE Professional Tackle and Gear next door: =============================================================== I'm incredibly grateful to this family-owned and operated business for its exemplary customer care, empathy, understanding, and professionalism. While I could write about its top-notch products and willingness to accurately match its customers with the appropriate fishing gear, the following is far more critical regarding a freak accident. This past weekend, I bought my middle-school-aged grandson a fishing rod for well over $200.00 and spent another $100.00 on lures, etc. In an unforeseen turn of events, a mere minute after I paid for my grandson's rod before my grandchild even left the store, the top of his rod got entangled in the door mechanism and snapped off! It was a shocking moment, but what followed was even more incredible. Not missing a beat, the owner's son, Tyler, working at Tyalure that morning, immediately replaced the top of my grandson's rod. I offered to pay Tyler for the new top, but Tyler, the owner's son, would not accept a penny! Tyler empathized with our predicament and was far more concerned for his customer than the cost of a new rod top. I thanked Tyler, as did my grandson. I recommend Tyalure in Rye, NY. Their customer care, customer satisfaction, empathy, and professionalism are the best I've ever experienced. I am so grateful to Tyler and Tyalure. Offering the new top half of the fishing rod earned Tyalure a customer for life and this review. Thank you, Tyler, and thank you, Tyalure. C.A. read more

First visit : Restaurant clean and well organized. Staff friendly and accommodating, especially our server Nick. Wife and I shared an appetizer of fried calamari, cooked to perfection and delicious! I ordered one of their signature dishes, Shrimp Alla Nonna with the thin sliced fried potato chips.....absolutely fantastic, very tasty! My wife had the shrimp with crab meat in a creamy tomato sauce, another delicious meal cooked to perfection. Don't forget to try the Bread Pudding with White Chocolate/Caramel Sauce...yum! This is not your "run of the mill" Italian food, this is Italian food kicked up a notch or two. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed. p.s. wife is Italian and a great cook, she was impressed! read more

Don't do it! I ordered overpriced grilled chicken parmigiana through Door Dash. 2 tasteless small, super flat chicken cutlets, soggy linguini, watery broccoli with garlic and oil (did they take it out of a pot of water?). I didn't even try the dessert yet, because I jumped up to write this review. If you want great Italian food, try Carlo's Restaurant on Tuckahoe Road. The food is delicious and prices, as well as generous portions are much better. Too bad I couldn't order from there on Door Dash... read more

I had dinner at DeCosta's tonight and it was great from beginning to end. The service was prompt and polite. We had our water replenished often. The ambiance was causal and chill. There is parking on the premises, which is a plus. We ordered the stuffed rigatoni, filet of sole, the Fresca salad, kids spaghetti, and penne pasta. All the dishes with packed with flavor and we enjoyed every bite. The fish tasted really fresh too. We also had the lobster crab dip and boy was it yummy; strongly recommended. For dessert we had the chocolate lava cake with vanilla. It's good for two to share. The cappuccino was on point as well, I will definitely visit DeCosta's again. read more

The people that recommended this place have clearly never been to an Italian restaurant before..or eaten anything decent. Not worth the price. I got the seafood ravioli and I regretted it. And the crab dip was greasy. What makes it worst is that I waited 35 minutes for the food. The restaurant was close to empty.

This is my second time at this restaurant. The drinks were great but the service was awful. First the waiter forgot about us. I had to track him down to get our drinks and to place our orders. Maybe it's because we were seated at the back of the restaurant. But he never came to us. I was tired of calling him for drinks and our food. read more

Good food, excellent staff. There prices are reasonable and menu has enough varieties to please everyone.

My wife order a Chicken Parmigiana with Spaghetti She's the worst she doesn't like much, but she loved it. I had to take a bit of her plate and to be straight with you it was one of the best chicken parm I've tasted today. The chicken was like butter easy to cut and it went don't smooth. Now to my meal, the chicken marsala was on point. The chicken was also like butter... loved it and would recommend it. My wife and I lived in the area for about 11 years and always say we'll go there one day, but now I wished I went sooner... When me and the wife likes something we call it a do over, and this is a Do Over.... read more

We visited for the first time on a Saturday at lunchtime. What shocked me honestly that a lunch menu doesn't exist!?! The entrees are dinner time prices $27-30/entree and $10/side dishes...my family is always excited to try new places so we ordered 3 appetizers. Fried calamari, cold antipasto, clams casino. Calamari fresh, tasty. Cold salad, not very exciting, clams not too bad. Now onto entrees. Chicken Marsala awful, flavorless lacked a personality. Penne a la vodka, average, veal Al La Nonna was flavorful (but $30?!) meatballs too dry and very compressed, marinara decent ($10/3meatballs) side of bolognese was included with meal was the only the only thing my husband enjoyed. Friendly staff, clean environment. However shame on them for opening at lunch and being greedy with the prices. We won't return anytime soon. read more

1st and last time.The food was terrible the clams were fresh but the pasta had no taste.The antipasto looked old the salami had the gray look like the prosciutto the cheese was dry..I'm not trying to be mean but the food was disgusting the penne vodka looked burnt and dry was nasty..wasted my money cause I threw it all in the garbage...and it was cold when italian food comes in Chinese containers something is not right.even the clams oregnade were all breadcrumbs.Would never never eat there again.... read more
