The…read moreatmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the food tasted incredibly fresh from start to finish. The homemade pasta was the highlight of the meal. You can really taste the difference when pasta is made fresh--it had the perfect texture, and every bite was flavorful and satisfying. As much as I enjoyed the pasta, the dessert completely stole the show. The pistachio tiramisu is absolutely to die for! When it first arrived, I was a little confused because it looked very different from the traditional tiramisu I'm used to seeing. After the first bite, though, I understood why it's so popular. It was creamy, rich without being overly heavy, and had a wonderful pistachio flavor that gave a unique twist to a classic dessert. The service was friendly, and the overall experience was excellent. If you're dining at La Chitarra, definitely save room for dessert the pistachio tiramisu alone is worth the visit. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

Large metal chandeliers adorn the ceilings and it has an upscale, rustic vibe with candles on the tables. Their menu is enticing. It's Italian inspired, but has lots of variety beyond the classic dishes. The appetizers were fantastic. The crispy artichokes were airy and melted in your mouth. The brussel sprouts were deliciously crispy with a pleasantly sweet sauce. I enjoyed the pistachios on them. The eggplant fries were a unique offering and very tasty topped with crumbled parmesan cheese. They would've been even better with a dipping sauce. For my main, I had the mushroom ravioli. The sauce was rich and creamy and it was topped with sharp parmesan and arugula. I enjoyed it, but the portion size was quite small, as the dish only included four pieces of ravioli. My husband got the black linguine and enjoyed the accompanying cream sauce with shrimp and lobster. To drink, I had the queen margherita, which was nice and tangy from the passion fruit. The waiters were great about refilling our water. The entrees took a little while to come out, but overall service was good. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

The staff was attentive, kind, and incredibly professional, anticipating what we needed before we even had to ask. They treated our family with such genuine care that it felt like they were celebrating with us. Every detail was handled seamlessly, which allowed us to relax and focus on honoring my mom.

Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was, from the appetizers to the entrées to the desserts. It's rare to host a large gathering where every single person raves about the meal, but Tesoro delivered that and more. This was a milestone birthday for a very special woman, and Tesoro helped make it unforgettable. We are so grateful for the warmth, the professionalism, and the incredible food. I would recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly for any celebration or simply a wonderful meal out. They made our family feel cherished, and we will always remember this day.

A Chic Culinary Gem in the Heart of Yonkers…read more If you're looking for a spot where the energy is high, the crowd is trendy, and the food is artfully executed, Zuppa in Yonkers is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere grabs you--it's upbeat and lively, fueled by a playlist of infectious, danceable house music that sets the perfect tone for a night out. Our evening was a masterclass in Italian-inspired dining, supported by a waitstaff that was consistently attentive without being overbearing. The Starters: Fresh & Crispy We kicked things off with the Calamari Salad, and it was nothing short of fabulous. The calamari had that elusive, "just right" amount of crunch, and I was impressed by how fast it arrived at the table. Even better? The portion was incredibly generous, making it a perfect shareable plate. Following that, the Caesar Salad arrived. While a staple at many restaurants, Zuppa's version stood out for its beautiful presentation--shaved parmesan and crisp greens arranged with real care. The Main Course: Flavor Over Everything For the entrees, we explored both land and sea: * Salmon over Quinoa: This dish was a standout for its flavor profile. The salmon was perfectly cooked and bathed in a bright, vibrant citrus sauce that paired beautifully with the nutty quinoa. My only minor critique is that the portion felt a bit small compared to the other hearty dishes, but the taste certainly made up for it. * Butternut Squash Risotto: A seasonal dream. The sauce was delicately seasoned, providing a smooth, velvety coating over the perfectly al dente risotto. It was comforting yet sophisticated. The Grand Finale: Dessert Excellence If you have a sweet tooth, Zuppa is your paradise. We sampled two desserts, and both were elite: 1. Chocolate Brownie with Salted Caramel Gelato: Simply exquisite. The richness of the brownie against the salty-sweet chill of the gelato created a perfect balance. 2. New York Cheesecake: Classic, creamy, and delicious. It was the ideal way to round out a high-energy meal. The Verdict~ Zuppa strikes that rare balance between a "scene" and a serious culinary destination. Whether you're there for the trendy vibes and the music or the expertly prepared seafood and pasta, you're in for a treat.

When it comes to Easter, my family and I will usually go out to dinner - but we do not have a…read moreconsistent place we go. We will usually stay with a spot for a few years, grow tired of it, and then try somewhere new. That is what brought us to 25 North. For the preceding three Easters, we were at another restaurant in Westchester - however it grew stale. I decided to look at other options, and remember having a great meal here at 25 North back in 2018 when I originally wrote my review. That being said, we booked it and made plans to dine here for Easter Sunday dinner. As I expected being a holiday, I walked into a crowded and loud restaurant. The layout is interesting - the dining room is separated into three levels with a small flight of stairs separating each of them. We were seated on the top level of the dining area, which was the best place in my opinion as it was the quietest- we were 19 people and only two other tables were in our vicinity. Decor was inoffensive - typical Westchester Italian restaurant aesthetics. What I liked about the Easter service at 25 North was that we were able to order off the regular menu - though they did have a few specials for the holiday. We decided to order apps family style for the table: drunken clams, string bean salad, sausage and broccoli rabe rolls, and fried calamari. These were all solid; the drunken clams were by far my favorite - super flavorful sauce and served with sausage and big cloves of garlic. The weakest IMO were the sausage and broccoli rabe rolls - I will say its partly because I expected more of a bread roll, but these were like egg rolls which made them a little to greasy for me. The sauce it came with though was tasty with a mild heat. For my main I got one of their specials - crab stuffed shrimp. This was six generally stuffed shrimp served on top of spinach in a light sauce. I really liked this dish - even though it looked like a lot, the crabmeat was light and the spinach made it so I didn't feel stuffed after finishing the dish. For dessert, I had tiramisu - on the menu they described it as a slice of goodness and that's exactly what it was. Service was great - they were on top of it and made sure food came out at a good pace and we were fully taken care of. Overall, my holiday experience at 25 North solidified my opinion that this is one of the best Italian restaurants in Westchester. I'll definitely be back sooner rather than later.
