“ Calarmi was great! Love their marinara sauce it's prob the best I've ever eaten. ”
“ Went there last night for our office holiday party and loved it. Great location with nice views, great staff, tasty food and nice welcoming staff. ”
“ I recently had a brunch buffet at this restaurant with a large party. The food was decent, but not great. There was a good variety of options to choose from, but nothing really stood out. The atmosphere was cool and relaxed, and the service was excellent. Our waters were friendly and quick to refill our drinks and clear our plates. The brunch buffet was a little pricey, but I would still recommend it to others, especially if you are looking for a place with a good variety of food and a cool atmosphere. ”
“ Staff is very welcoming, attentive and doesn’t rush their tables. They’re often checking up on the tables and making sure everyone is enjoying their time. Architecture and design, both in and out is beautiful and inspiring. You feel as if you’re in a different country The food comes at the perfect time and not rushed. Their bar is also a great touch. Seating area upstairs provides beautiful views ! Only downfall was that they didn’t have some desserts we ordered... items they don’t carry or ran out of should be crossed out or mentioned at the table. Would come back ”
“ Lovely atmosphere, great service and beautiful food. We came for lunch and split the cesar salad and Penne LaFontana. Perfect Italian bread served at the table. The service was prompt and attentive but kept a low profile. The space is bright and full of plants, with old world Italian touches. We loved the music and overall vibe. Thank you for a wonderful experience! ”
“ My wife and I are staying in Nyack for the Halloween season and we found this amazing Italian restaurant just by chance but now we plan on making this part of our trips. The food was so good and the service was second to none. The outdoor seating and vibe inside are like being in another part of the world. ”
“ Such a great experience, glad I found y’all! In town on business from Texas and was craving risotto but came across their seafood paella on the menu. Quick drive from Tarrytown and boom, thoroughly satisfied. Perfect weather outside, great Italian wine, Italian paella (cool twist from what I’m used to), saw a lightning bug and capped it off with a nice Strega. Nice staff, well done! ”
“ Old school Italian restaurant with wonderful service and terrific food! They have a patio that overlooks Hudson River and it's a perfect place for lunch outside on these beautiful fall days. We love their fountain, too. ”
