nice modern Italian vibe...great for a chill dinner or date night. The space is stylish. I tried their scarpiello wings during a wing walk, and they just didn't hit for me. I was expecting that classic scarpiello punch...garlic, vinegar, heat...but these came off soggy muted in flavor. No kick, and not the crispy, bold style I appreciate in wings. I hear they have good pasta, but as far as the wings go, they weren't really my thing and didn't match what I think of when I hear "scarpiello." read more

We had a nice dinner here. We decided to split the Cacio Pepe and the carbonara and ordered a margherita pinsa. Loved the pinsa, it was really thin and crisp. Carbonara was excellent, and the Cacio Pepe was good. I wish it was creamier though! Our waiter was fabulous and all in all we had a really nice time. Suggestion, don't put grated cheese on the pasta. Let people put it on for themselves. It's a distraction from the creamy authenticity of the sauces and homemade pasta. read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem! My boyfriend and I made a reservation for two at 6:45 on a Friday night, and it wasn't too busy or slow. The restaurant is cute and small, which makes it feel very intimate; a perfect date spot. The cocktails were delicious, a little on the strong side but there's nothing wrong with that! The homemade pasta was an amazing touch, cooked perfectly al-dente, and the calamari was fried to be perfectly crispy and not at all chewy or rubbery. I would definitely recommend TVB to anyone looking to have a nice Italian dinner, without a heavy price tag. read more

Pretty good Italian spot! Homemade pastas at this stylish, pricey place so of course we had to try two of them. The penne vodka is five stars, so deliciously rich and tasty, while the gnocchi was comforting and a generous portion, though didn't have a ton of flavor. The raspberry dressing salad was so good though. read more

The restaurant is very cute and a nice mid-fancy option in White Plains (not casual but not tablecloths, price range more accessible for a random night out). The Caesar salad and birthday dessert (a pizookie - off menu) were great. The cacio e pepe did not stand out, was fine but a bit underwhelming. My partner liked the carbonara but thought it was a bit too salty. The service was great though, and we both enjoyed our wines. Would consider coming back to try other apps and the pizza. read more

Heard from a friend that Pax Romana's food resembles what it is like in Italy, so we came to try on a Saturday around lunch time. Not too crowded, did not make a reservation and were seated right away. The restaurant is nice and spacious, very classy looking and plenty of street parking outside. Our servers were very friendly and attentive, never really let our waters got too low and were quite efficient with the orders and checks, etc. The menu is not too large, but seems to have all the classic Italian dishes you can imagine. We got vodka pasta and cacio e pepe pasta and a mushroom truffle pizza. I gotta say, this is the best Italian place around the area that I've tried so far. Each dish was simple, but the flavor was amazing. It tasted like authentic Italian, just plainly simple and authentic. I would love to try their wines next time I think it would go amazingly with their pasta/pizza/appetizers. The price was very reasonable, each dish was about $20 and we were very full. Would most definitely be coming back! read more

Really cute place. The Set up was spacious and inviting. The food? EXCELLENT!! I ordered the IG special Penne vodka w/chicken cutlet, (just because) and my dining companion had the steak w/arugula salad and both did it disappoint. I believe our server was Juan and he was on point with everything. Such a great place!! read more

The device was great. Attentive and they paid attention to my wife's garlic allergy and cooked her dish to perfection she had the cacio e Pepe and I had the ravioli. Both were perfectly cooked and the ravioli had a perfectly sweet sauce. We were there at an off time, 3pm, so it was quiet but the place is very cozy with a friendly staff. I ordered a glass of wine that must have been from a bottle that had been opened for a couple of days and tasted oxidized. I mentioned this to the waiter and he offered me a new glass from a newly opened bottle. Much better. All in all we had a very pleasant lunch. I'm Italian so I am VERY critical of tomato sauce and this was delicious. We will be back again. read more

Always looking for a new place to eat when in NY. Came across this restaurant on the way to another one, and decided to check it out. Seated immediately; water glass and wine brought shortly after sitting down. Ordered the meatballs - four large ones came with marinara. I could only eat two to save room for my entree. Eggplant parmesan is a Da route, but when my order arrived, I thought it was lasagna. The waiter explained that it looks like lasagna, but was actually the eggplant parmesan. Thinly sliced eggplant layered like lasagna with cheese and marinara - so good. Side salad with strawberries and walnuts. read more

This place has a really nice vibe. I read all the rave reviews and went in with pretty high expectations. The bread with tomato infuse olive oil came right out when we were seated and our waiter was attentive and friendly. We ordered Capricciosa Pinsa Romana which is flatbread topped with mozzarella, prosciutto, olives, mushroom and artichoke. It actually was rather bland tasting and somewhat dry. We also had the Burrata appetizer served over tomato's with balsamic glaze. The tomatoes were not ripe and were tasteless and there was not enough balsamic glaze. The burrata itself was good nice and creamy. The Tagliolini Cacio Pepe was good but way too much pepper. I suggest if you order this tell them light on the pepper. The Cavatelli with Broccoli rabe was good and flavorful. The homemade pasta was very good on both of these plates. The tagliata was excellent. Sirloin steak cooked to perfection served with a nice arugula salad. The Tiramisu was ok, it looked like it had been around a few days. The skillet chocolate chip cookie with ice cream was a winner. If you've got a sweet tooth, this is for you. Overall nice atmosphere but the food was just average. read more

Their concept is simple and effective: real, delicious, high quality, simple ingredients made into exquisite culinary creations that delight your taste buds! OK, in all seriousness the food is just great here! It's simple Italian fare that's done to perfection. I often get the eggplant parmigiana, which is just great. Admittedly, typically finish off with their Bombolini, which are just spectacular, seriously! I'm a bit of a donut fiend, and these Italian donuts are just heaven in two little perfect balls served with your choice of dipping sauce. I like the Nutella! The staff are also great. They're always fast and courteous. And the atmosphere is chic and quaint. I couldn't recommend this restaurant more. It's one of our staple Italian restaurants. Go here now! You won't be disappointed. PS, you should definitely make a resy. It's a popular place...for good reason. read more

First time here for dinner with friends. Nice space, although a little noisy when crowded. Open kitchen and a full bar. Attentive and efficient service. We started with Affetati (the cold antipasto plate) and fried calamari. The affetati was freshly sliced meats and cheeses served over a bed of lettuce (arugula ?), the calamari, well seasoned and perfectly fried. I had the fresh Linguini and clams, the Honey, fried shrimps over the arugula salad. The friends, the veal Milanese's special and the pasta with mushrooms. Everyone was happy with their choices. We finished with the tiramisu for dessert. Delicious! Cocktails and Cabernet carafes of the house wine completed the very pleasant meal. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this place!! Several of my co-workers had recently dined here and recommended it. We decided to celebrate a teen birthday here and were able to get a reservation for 7 a few hours in advance on a Friday night. Lucky!! They did tell us that we would have just over 2 hours before the next group would be seating at the same table but I liked that they let us know when I had called rather than after seating us. Wine time! The list is not too long, but it covers the bases. We ended up getting a bottle of Montepulciano so I was quite content as it's one of my favorites. Price was $49. It went well with the food. We had several items which were all very delicious: penne alla vodka, cacio e Pepe, cavatelli with broccoli rabe and sausage, diavolo pizza and chicken scarpariello pizza. Everyone was very happy with their dish and had just enough room left for dessert. Service was attentive and professional. We did not feel rushed at all. They even put a candle into a bombolini so we could celebrate a birthday! It's a nice place. Decor is kinda modern. Not too busy with stuff. Simple. The crowd was mixed and spread out nicely on tables. It did not feel crowded. Smiles everywhere!! I recommend you give them a visit! read more

Place was nice and modern. Came here for a birthday and they were able to accommodate our table of 10 people. To start, we ordered for the table, pizza, calamari, grilled octopus and meatballs. Also to share we ordered the carbonara pasta dish. This was really good! For main course I ordered the steak and comes with a side salad, very good steak and flavor was on point. I would say, it's not family style so portions are good for only one person. The drink menu was small but did order the martini, it was good. I would recommend this place. Staff were nice and food was great. read more

The food was so fresh and enjoyable. We met for an early dinner and it filled me up for the entire night. I cant wait to go back and enjoy again. read more

I used to frequent this place a few years ago, but now I rarely visit. Why? The quality of the food has convincingly declined over the past several years. The pastas are often overcooked, the pizzas are extremely dry, and the prices for the four entrees on the menu are outrageous relative to the quality of the food. The service is wonderful and efficient -- in fact well above average -- but that doesn't redress the culinary deficit. In my opinion, the menu could use a bit of a reboot; perhaps more entrees on the menu? read more

Been here before and always had a decent experience. Today , Tuesday at 4:30 the place was empty. I was told by the hostess she could not give me a table other than a high top. I was using a cane. Definitely discriminatory. She DID NOT want me in her space. SO INHOSPITABLE, borderline HOSTILE. Plain WRONG. DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE!. read more

We were in the general area and ordered take out. It has an uncommon name and Rome style cooking (guessing?) . The Macheroni Con Ragu Di Salsiccia salad is very good and has that home style cooking look & taste. The Margherita and Funghi pizzas were nicely done and have a good flavor. The crust is on the hard side but may be that is the Rome style crust? I prefer my pie crust a bit softer. The make-shift meal turned out to be a highlight and we will sure repeat when we are in White Plains. Enjoy .. read more

I absolutely love this restaurant! I've lived in the area for over 2 years and for some reason never came in. But boy am I happy that I finally did and I'll definitely be back. The vive is very cool and fun, it's a cute space, not too but not too small. There is a cozy bar area and then tables along the narrow yet long restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing, I had the best caccio e peppe, it was exactly what I was craving, cooked perfectly, and I'll definitely be ordering again. My fiancé loved his chicken Parm as well. Our drinks were the perfect pairing for our meals and we had a great night. The service was good, our waiter checked in on us often, always ensured we had a drink and of course recommended dessert, which was amazing. I loved the bombolini (Italian donuts), flavorful and perfectly fluffed. I will definitely be back and recommend to locals and visitors alike as a must stop in White Plains! read more

Ok folks! A simple dish that is so hard to make yourself. This is the reason why you want authentic when you go out to an Italian place like Pax. Homemade pasta that goes to your soul! My lovely wife and I revisited in a Saturday evening. A couple tables left fortunately with a fun crowd and great atmosphere! Anyhow: Read. My. Lips. CACIO Y PEPE! Lord have mercy! The best we ever had! Period! We also shared a simple pasta with broccoli rabe and it was a home run as usual! A must to go to in White Plains. Park in the lots as the meter people are vicious on the street! read more

The place looks nice. We didn't like anything that we were served. The pasta sauce is sweet- no one ate it or the ravioli. The cacio e pepe had an odd flavor. It also went uneaten. Chicken parm was tough- low quality meat. But the pizza was a standout. Very unpleasant to eat. read more

My husband and I met one of our Yelp friends here for a dinner and we loved it! The atmosphere is lively and fun. Service was very nice. We started with some appetizers including burrata, calamari and fried olives. All very good. My pinsa romana (basically a pizza) was amazing and such a generous portion size that I had it for lunch again the next day! We all liked our food and had a great time. I'm a fan! read more

This is my third time dining here. Last time I went, I went with a friend, did not review, and had that delicious avocado pinsa--mmm, so good! I love this place. It's so cool to have our very own little Roman restaurant in our own backyard. I want to go here more often. My mom goes all the time--without me!!!! Food and drinks. We had the juice bomb IPA on tap. It was the only IPA available at the time of our visit on a Saturday night in May. It was fresh, glass was thick and cold, which made for perfect beer drinking. These owners/employees know what they're doing. I can't come here and get anything but a pinsa. I think Pax and Papi on bank street may be the only two places in Westchester where you can get a Roman pinsa that tastes really good. Pax has the best consistency in my opinion. What you get one day at pax you're going to get the next. That's amazing. ANYWAY, my pinsa was INCREDIBLE. The flavor was totally there and fully amazing umami good. The crust was so CRISPITY CRUNCHEDY. Very very good. The husband loved his carbonara. They cook it al dente which he loves and it's very filling. I will drag whoever I need to to get myself back here. I'll be needing another pinsa soon. read more

Very good home made pasta! They even have GLUTEN FREE home made oasta! Which is rare. We have had the fettuccini Al speck e panna which was chefs kiss and I also tried the spaghetti chitarra alla vongole also perfectly made. My daughter who is celiac had the penne(home made more like cavatelli-so good) alla vodka and loved it too! Really nice menu options, now a family favorite! read more

I was not impressed by their pasta and sauce tasted watery and canned with no flavor. Better off getting at pizzeria. The eggplant was like a layered lasagna which looked interesting but lacked flavor. Again must be the sauce. The chicken cutlet was very thin slices which is fine if they have more for the money spent. That was about $1 worth of chicken. The best part of the menu was the dessert. The tiramisu and the bombolini which is a fried donut with either either nutella or cannoli creme. So damn delicious. It could have been an off night. I have also heard that the original chef left and it has changed since then. Will be back for dessert. read more

A White Plains gem! Visited TVB by: Pax Romana with my colleagues for a holiday lunch and it was quite tasty. We started with burrata and calamari as appetizers. Our group enjoyed both. We each got different dishes for lunch and I don't recall what everyone had. However, I had gluten free pasta and it was tasty. I love visiting Italian restaurants with gluten free options. If you're looking for delicious food and a vibrant bar, this is the spot! read more

Best pasta in White Plains. I am so glad that I went to Via Garibaldi (extremely disappointing food) prior to writing this review because the perspective increased my appreciation for the value this pasta and pizza place offers. Reasonably priced, very good fresh pasta, with sturdy basic sauces; these are the backbone of the menu. The pizza is also very good, prepared in one of the styles frequently found in Rome (crispy crust, not the thick squares). Portions are huge and the service is great. Nothing unforgettable, pretty casual, and I'd stick to what they're good at if you go (skip the appetizers). read more

I like to try new places and my husband and I also one of our Yelp friend went this place. I really don know where to start everything was so delicious. The vibe of the place was amazing and all the staff and servers was great. We had a burrata as a starter and had some calamari also fried olives. ive never had fried olives before and it was so tasty. I can eat that fried olives without getting full :-) As an entree I had a steak. Unfortunately, I got so blind because of deliciousness and I forget to take a picture. As a desert we had tiramisu and doughnut. all in all had a wonderful food and an fun night at White Plains. Can't wait to go back there. read more

Perfectly nice location, great staff. Food is OK. I struggled with calling this a 3 star review, it can easily be a 4 based on staff or ambience and even when I think back on it now, I really just didn't enjoy the food. I tried the stuffed olives which sounded interesting but just didn't agree with my palate. The food was very very standard. I walked out of that meal comparing it to anything I can make in my own home and thats where it lost me. Nothing struck me as something that was far and away above anything else widely available or something that I can make myself. Overall, happy to that went and tried it. I don't think I'll be returning but DO RECOMMEND that others try it out to see what they think as well. read more

My group and I had a 7pm reservation on Saturday. We got there about 20 minutes early and they promptly seated us without any issues. We took our bride-to-be out for dinner. I saw a picture of a cheese pasta wheel and honestly that was the main reason why we chose this place....come to find out, they only offer that during private events. I should have asked when making the reservation. Besides that little hick-up, we ordered fried calamari, margherita pizza and burrata for apps. I loved the burrata (please add fresh basil next time). The calamari were good and the pizza ok. For entrees we all ordered pasta dishes. Two of us had the carbonara , which was very good and someone ordered the gnocchi dish, which was delicious and the bride-to-be had the penne vodka with shrimp, which was very very good! We also ordered a lot of desserts to go like the bomboloni with Nutella and some with cannoli cream, we also ordered Italian cheesecake and tiramisu and they were overall good! I think the highlight for me was the espresso martini...both of them!! read more

The lure of a big wine pours during happy hour (advertised on our local news channel interview with owner) drew me to Pax Romana this week for dinner with a friend. I arrived ahead of schedule so sat and bar to sip a glass of wine. Wine is $5 during happy hour but there is only one choice and this evening it was a Cabernet. I really wanted white wine but during happy hour there is just the one option as a draft wine of the day. The pour was generous. Once my friend arrived, we sat down to dine. The restaurant is long rather than wide, with a convenient entrance/exit in the back leading to a municipal lot. We both managed to get street parking in front of restaurant where the main entrance is. Warm sliced italian bread with a nice tomato infused olive oil was delivered to the table while we looked over the menu. Waitress, bus boys were attentive without being overbearing. Open kitchen although the divider is high so you don't see much more than perhaps the shoulders of the chefs. Hearing their pasta is homemade it seemed the logical choice for us. My fettucini with porcini mushrooms, smoked proscuitto in a cream sauce and my friends potato gnocchi sorrentina in tomato sauce, mozzarella and basil were both very good. The pasta portions were large and I'm not complaining. Too much for us to eat in one sitting so happily we both brought home dinner for another meal. We split the mesclun salad which again was large and easily feed the two of us. The raspberry vinaigrette which just ok. I wasn't a fan of the salad but I don't particularly like strawberries in my salad nor that type of vinaigrette. In hindsight, I should have paid closer attention to my friend's salad suggestion. We ended the meal with a cannoli stuffed donut they call a Bombolini. I would suggest getting one each and not sharing as it's not very big so splitting in half maybe yielded us a couple bites each. I wasn't impressed with the donut. The filling was good but the donut itself wasn't the freshest. Price wise though, $5 was a good deal if it wasn't bordering on the stale side. All in all, it was a good meal. read more
