We went to Talia for dinner on a Thursday night. They offer valet parking which is very beneficial…read morein this area on nights and weekends. We found street parking since we came in around 6p. The restaurant was fairly empty but it filled up midway through our dinner. It's lively and nicely decorated. We ordered drinks first, and the cocktail menu had some nice options. Too sweet for my taste so I ordered wine. Simple collection to choose from. Then we had the lamb meatballs. They were very good, especially with the sauce. Not gamey. The fried artichoke was definitely a hit with the dipping sauce. Some of the pieces were a little too dry and I didn't taste much artichoke overall. The roasted romaine was a nice take an a Caesar salad. Grilled asparagus is self explanatory. The pizza was really good but I avoid gluten now so I only had 2 bites; husband loved it. I had the scallops which were too rubbery for my taste. I was hungry so I finished the whole plate after another round of drinks. The staff was attentive and professional. There were smiles at our arrival as well as departure. We were very happy with the experience here. We will come again!!

One of my friends and I will periodically go out to dinner to catch up - and since we had not done…read moreso in over 6 months we were definitely overdue. After a date was locked, the next question was where to go. Talia landed on our radar since it had recently opened and came at the recommendation of a mutual colleague. The menu looked pretty good so we decided to book it. Talia is located in Port Chester, which I must say is seeing a boom in restaurants; seems like this is a new hot spot for dining in Westchester County. It's tucked away along a side street but catches the eye due to its turquoise exterior. The interior is quite spacious (and smelled great) with dining area spread across two floors. We were seated upstairs which, in addition to tables, housed a bar. The decor was upscale without being too stuffy - almost minimalist with small accents, medium woods, and neutral colored seating. The menu is a mix of Italian and French cuisine - separated into apps, bites, salads, pastas, mains, and sides. We decided to share everything and went with a few selections from each section. We decided to start with the hamachi crudo, delivled eggs, fried artichoke hearts, and panzanella salad. These were all great - the crudo was fresh, the eggs contained kimchi which gave it a welcome accent, the artichoke was paired with a tasty yogurt dipping sauce that cut the friedness, and the panzanella salad had an excellent balance of greens and bread. Panzanella salad has the risk of being too bread heavy but it was just enough here. For our mains we decided on the beef filet and the salmon. Both of these were tasty - the filet was served with a side of well-seasoned asparagus and a mustard jus that complemented the beef. The salmon sat on top of some sort of hummus (I think) that contained some chopped vegetables. The skin was super crispy on the fish and the hummus complemented it well. We opted for dessert, and I went with their take on a chocolate ganache cake. This was interesting - it was a super thin slice but that was enough as the ganache was super rich; the cake itself was somewhat dry but I'm not sure if it was meant to be that way? It almost ate like a rice cake with ganache frosting. Despite my confusion it was quite delicious. Service was excellent - everyone was super friendly, and chef-owner Ian Vest even visited our table to say hello. Overall, I had a great experience at Talia - this is a relatively new restaurant and I wish them nothing but the best in this new endeavor. They have some stiff competition in the area, but if they keep it up there's potential for them to be a standout restaurant in Port Chester.

The owner runs around the restaurant all night long looking frantic. The head waiter seems like a robot, before I was even seated he was asking what type of water we wanted and did we want a cocktail. He insists on explaining all the specials clearly printed on the menu. He was also sporting a bandaid on his face. Service is very rushed and the head waiter yells at the rest of the staff to do things, like clearing the tables. I found my veal with mixed mushrooms to be tough. My husband said his chicken was good. The fried calamari was tasty but we had to instruct the kitchen to prepare them well done and crispy. I think there was a lack of seasoning for all the food. I guess this is why we only go here once a year. There are plenty of better restaurants to try locally. This is a definite no!

I've known this crew since their days at Perdition in Hell's Kitchen, and walking into their new…read morespot felt like no time had passed at all--in the best way possible. From the moment you step inside, you can tell how much care and intention has gone into everything. The décor is clean and beautifully done, the drink and food menus are thoughtful and creative, and the prices are honestly more than reasonable for the quality you're getting. It's clear this is a place built with real passion. But what truly sets them apart is something you can't fake--the genuine warmth. They've created that rare "locals welcome" atmosphere where everyone feels like a regular, whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth. Seeing Scotty behind the bar again instantly brought me back, and catching up with Sean, his wife, and the rest of the crew made the night feel more like a reunion than just a night out. I laughed, tried some fantastic new drinks, and had great conversations--not just with the staff and loyal regulars, but also with folks who had stopped in before or after a nearby concert, which added such a fun, lively energy to the place. This spot is an absolute gem. If you're anywhere nearby--whether you're heading to a show or just looking for a great night out--do yourself a favor and stop in. You'll understand immediately why people keep coming back. And honestly? The only downside is that they're no longer in Hell's Kitchen... because I'd be there all the time.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere of the private room felt warm, elegant, and welcoming -- beautifully set, comfortable, and perfect for a milestone celebration. It had that rare combination of feeling intimate while still giving everyone plenty of space to mingle, laugh, and enjoy the moment. The service was truly exceptional. 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. And the food -- absolutely outstanding. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. 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.

We were placed at a really not ideal table despite the restaurant being fairly empty. Right by the door and the bar. It took an exceptionally and noticeably long time to even get water and then our waitress said she'd be back in a "few minutes" to take our order, that ended up being over 20 minutes waiting. When she came back she said did anyone come and take your order yet and we were like ??? The food also took a long time to come out. My dinner mate got the sliders which were supposed to be a special entree and yet the size was more appetizer with literally what looked like a handful of fries thrown haphazardly on the plate. I got the chicken parmigiana which wasn't terrible hence the two stars. However the grilled vegetables that it came with were lukewarm at best by the time they arrived. The energy was off the entire time and we definitely didn't feel welcomed or like we were receiving any kind of hospitality. The bussers who came by to fill our glasses and clear our plates were lovely but that's about it. The waitress disappeared for the rest of our time there other than when we got the check. There was a hostess and another staff member standing at the front and we both individually said thank you to them as we were leaving and they ignored us completely. After reading some of the other reviews, seeing the other patrons and how they were treated compared to us, I can't help but feel like we were being discriminated against (my dinner mate is Black) which is really frustrating and disgusting. I will never be returning. It's a shame that I have to avoid a place like this in my own neighborhood.

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.
