    Banchetto has been around for a long time. There's plenty of parking in the greater mall lot if you don't see a spot in their lot. They have some outdoor tables, but not too many. You can make reservations and there's no credit card fee. The decor is fresh and clean. The place is spacious, but also loud as it's all really just one big room with a wall in the middle. There are plenty of servers scrambling everywhere so service was generally ok. A few things I did not like. The menu prices on their website are drastically different than in person. All entrees were like $6 more. And I didn't think the food was that great to warrant some of the prices. The restaurant menu also doesn't list prices for beer or cocktails. Oddly enough, wine prices are posted. The cheese pizza was awful. There was a thick layer of cheese that just falls off the crust itself. Too much and too thick. The octopus risotto tasted good, but I didn't think the price was reasonable considering the amount of octopus within. The Berkshire pork chop with vinegar and spicy peppers tasted great. The potatos seemed a little old to me, almost like we're recooking potatoes from days ago. No veggie or salad included so my meal felt a bit meh at $36. The house bread was tasty. Fresh bread plus some focaccia served with a roasted pepper oil. Overall, nobody wants to return. There are other places of better value.

    I had a really nice experience at Banchetto Feast in Nanuet. I wish I had taken more pictures of the inside and outside because the ambiance and decor were beautiful--classy, clean, and cozy. It wasn't crowded when I went, so I was seated right away in a comfortable booth, which made the experience even better. Service was excellent--friendly and attentive throughout the meal. For dinner, I ordered the Pappardelle Short Ribs ($28.99). The meat is roasted for 12 hours, and you could taste the effort in the flavor. It was a little on the chewy side, but still tasty and well-seasoned with onions, peas, and wild mushrooms. I also tried the Eggplant Arrabbiata ($22.99)--light tomato sauce with onions, mushrooms, cherry peppers, and mozzarella. That dish was solid all around, no complaints at all. Overall, a really enjoyable meal. I'll definitely be back to try something new on the menu!

    I've been here 3 times this past year and every time, I've had issues with the many fruit flies flying around the tables. It's quite off putting being that they most likely are coming from the open liquor bottles. The food is ok. The best thing to have here is the Thai chili jumbo shrimp and the roasted beets and blue cheese salad. But don't order those to go because they will give you smaller portions. Larger portions if you eat at the restaurant.

    Great restaurant! Excellent service, beautiful decor and delicious food. Everything was prepared to perfection and served hot and fresh. They sang happy birthday to my husband and Dad whose birthdays are 3 days apart. The cocktails were also very good.

    Dinning at Banchetto is an experience. From the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out. Absolutely everything I've had from the menu has been exquisite. The staff knows exactly what to recommend and they do not disappoint. Eddie the owner is personable and assists in reassuring that all customers are catered to. The restaurant itself has a comforting atmosphere and it's aesthetically pleasing. Lastly, the Lychee Martini is one of a kind!

    We had a great time at Banchetto for New Year's dinner. The food and service was good. We were a party of 6 seated in a booth. It was a little tight for dinner, couldn't really move. The table bread was very good ( like garlic knots). We kept asking for more and the waitress was generous enough to continue bringing. I would definitely be back.

    This is a solid restaurant and you always get a good meal. Went there with my wife and daughter. My wife had the Spaghetti Bolanaise, and my daughter had the Rigatoni Salmon alla Volkda. Both were happy with their meals. I had the Flame Broiled Portugese Octopus as a starter, which was very great. For the main course, I had the Butternut squash ravioli. This was absolutely delicious to the last bite. I definitely cleaned my plate. The deserts were good. We had the Tirimisu and the chocolate explosion (lava cake). Both were good. The service was excellent, and our server Doris was great. The restaurant itself is warm and inviting.

    I had not been here since this location reopened where it is now. It's nice to see the original owner still operates it. The food is delicious. The service is excellent and that steak was more than satisfying. The calamari was just right. One would think "how could you mess up calamari" ... oh, there are ways.... But the chef delivered. The salad was delicious too. Might I say, it was a very big portion. The place is good for groups and has outdoor seating and bar seating. The layout allows for a bit more intimate dining in some areas and also for a nice large party dinner. I would definitely return. Especially for the steak!

I regret that decision. It's was dry with little cheese. I could only recommend the pizza I would not bother to order another entree. Here. The stars are strictly for the pizza and the customer service.

In fact, I was one of their first customers to order when they first opened (was over an hour late - didn't complain off course, since I have been in the business). Now mind you, this has nothing to do with $$ whatsoever, but just a comment on how businesses are run now a days with a lack of logic, decency or customer service. It's indicative of our current culture, which is sad to see. So, quick story - we have accumulated numerous "pizzas cards" that they distributed in the past (collect 12 / get a free pizza; btw, we have so many) etc.. etc... Called in an order, but was told they stopped doing that (which is fine, I get it). Again, not the $$ - its like $20.00. But just the culture of a haphazard way to run a business/organization. (BTW - This person has no idea how long we have been customers :)) And we see it throughout now. I would expect that from a Dominos/ Pizza Hut etc., not from a community establishment. But anyway, just wanted to get the off my chest. There are many other options for pizza, but customer service is so important. Take some advice from an old timer - you need to use common sense when dealing with customers :)

Ceiling is filthy and you can see hundreds of dead bugs in the light fixtures above the cooking station. Staff was nice though. Definitely wouldn't return.
