    Strawberry, pecan, and pear salad special
    Maggie B.

    I came here for dinner on a Friday night. We had to move up our reservation, but with a quick phone call, they were easily able to accommodate the change. The street-facing entrance of the restaurant has a small flight of stairs. My mom was using a cane to walk, so this was a little tricky for her. A ramp would be a great addition here. There were only a couple of other parties seated when we arrived at 5:15pm, but the restaurant was nearly full by the time we left around 7pm. They had a remarkable number of specials including soups, appetizers, and entrees, which our waiter impressively rattled off from memory. Given the list was so long, it would've been helpful to have a written menu to refer to. To start, we shared one of the special salads. It had pears, strawberries, pecans, and lettuce. The dressing was a sweet vinaigrette. The flavors would have come together better with a more citrusy or tangy dressing and a sharp cheese like goat or blue. However, it was still tasty. My family also had the lobster and avocado special and enjoyed it. For my main, I had the pasta with broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and oil. I swapped the penne out for linguine. The noodles were served nicely al dente. The salty tomatoes provided welcome flavor. My family also enjoyed the halibut and the baby rack of lamb. The broccoli rabe on the cavatelli pasta overwhelmed the dish a bit too much. The dessert menu was also delivered aloud by our waiter instead of written. They had lots of variety. The apple pie was too mushy for my taste, but my partner enjoyed it. The amaretto cake was smooth and flavorful. Service was great.

    My kinda the bartender is a fabulous lady! The staff was beyond kind and attentive I've always like their food. And great lace to have an intimate meal.

    Linguine with Shrimp, Sun-Dried Tomatoes Vodka Sauce
    Andrew I.

    When I am in Westchester, Buon Amici is my go to place. Whether it's dining in, takeout, delivery, catering or a party it is always a five-star experience. There is outside dining available in the tent. Downstairs room for a party. Valet parking available, or you can park at one of the many spots on the street. I have been coming here for over 20 years for dining and business purposes. I've gotten to know the owner Chris over that time. Very hands-on whether it's helping in the kitchen, at the bar, or bussing a table. He's not afraid to get his hands dirty. He always treats his customers like family. We stopped in on Christmas Eve. Even on a busy holiday night, the service and food were outstanding. The fried calamari appetizer was crispy and seasoned beautifully. We shared a veal Sorrentino and linguine with shrimp, sun-dried tomatoes in vodka sauce. Veal, prosciutto, and eggplant with cheese is a great combination. Add a delicious sauce and that's what you have with this dish. The linguine and shrimp had lots of flavor. Scattered sun-dried tomatoes were a nice touch. For dessert we had a piece of rainbow cookie cake. I am usually disappointed when I order this anywhere. The rainbow cookie cake more than met expectation. The chocolate ganache was very rich. If we weren't full from dinner, I may have ordered another piece. If you are looking for amazing Italian food in Westchester, Buon Amici is the place to go. Five stars every time!

    Raw oysters
    Jaime E.

    The only Con: Very loud! And not because there was loud music but because there's no sound-proofing material at all and everyone just talks louder and louder. This is very Old Skool Italian. Great service down to the Limoncello at the end of the meal. We started with raw oysters. They were plump, tasty and no shells at all in the mouthful! Then we ordered one of the specials of the day, homemade pasta with peas, pancetta, shrimp and chicken cutlet in a lovely cream sauce. Excellent. We the ordered (on the menu) the linguini marinara with seafood. It was fine but not great. Stick to the specials. The chocolate lava cake tasted like it was either made off-site, or pre-fab and cooked on-site. Either way, not worth the calories. Pricey - party of 2 with wine, one app and one dessert = $130

    Great Italian spot in white plains. Buon Amici isn't your fine dining experience but they are such a friendly, comforting, and charming establishment. Inviting staff and delicious food. You'll get there and you'll just talk and eat and drink, and hours will pass before you know it! We got the oysters, burrata, and we shared the linguine with shrimp and scallops. They already split the pasta dish into two plates for us when it came out. Love that attentiveness. Bottle of wine to bring everything together. No complaints at all. Sometimes an experience gets 5/5 because everything just felt right. This is one of those spots! We'll be back!

    Escargot
    Linda D.

    I have passed this place so many times and never went. Tonight we met about 7 of us for dinner. The server ran thru a very extensive appetizer special list! That was just the "applies". I got the escargot, other people had the stuffed artichoke, money bag pasta and the polenta. For entrees, they had another list of specials. I chose the Branzino, with the side of pasta. My branzino was dry! No juice to it. Food was good, service was ok. Our server would disappear.

    My Penne Alla Vodka!

I also had a chance to try my wife's lobster ravioli, which was rich and delicious. The ambiance was comfortable and inviting, perfect for a special night out without feeling over-the-top.

    Wow! what an amazing restaurant!…read more Let me start by saying there is complementary valet parking right next door at the hotel garage. Be sure to validate your parking ticket with the waiter before leaving your table. I ate at this restaurant for a work luncheon, and they did not disappoint!! We had delicious apps - sadly I didn't get any photos.. baked clams, meatballs, fried calamari. There was a good amount of clams on the plate, there were 3 meatballs, and a I would say a small portion of calamari. May need multiple orders of the apps if you are dining with a group of people. Ambiance was lovely, lots of space, and very accommodating for a large group of people. Our waiter was attentive, and got all of our meals correct. We did the lunch price fixe - $27 for a two course meal (appetizer and entree, and tea/coffee)Great size portions!!! The eggplant parm was amazing. One of the best I ever had. I got the caprese sandwich, and the mozzarella was truly so fresh you can taste it. To end the delicious meal, I got the Italian cheesecake. That was truly delicious! I was raving about it the whole rest of the afternoon. I'll definitely be back!

    I've dined at the NYC location, but was eager to see the White Plains venue. It was a relatively…read moreeasy ride from Queens, and there is a parking garage next door. The interior was beautifully decorated for the holidays, with their Bronx Tale memorabilia and signage on display. There is ample seating and a large bar where you can enjoy a drink and something to eat, or grab a drink before you sit to dine. I ordered the "Paper Plane", one of their signature cocktails. It was even served with a cute paper airplane affixed with a tiny clothesline clip! To start, we ordered the arancini (risotto balls) and the eggplant parmigiana. Three medium-sized rice balls, filled with cheesy risotto and coated in a delicious crispy coating, were served atop their delicious marinara sauce. The eggplant came as a stack, and it was HUGE! Both were fresh and served hot, plated beautifully, and were definitely options I'd recommend. For our entrees, we ordered the shrimp scampi and the veal saltimboca. Four gigantic shrimp served over risotto, and three thinly pounded veal cutlets served with sauteed spinach. Our dessert, presented to us by the manager, was a sampling of their Italian cheesecake and tiramisu. From what I could see, there was only one bathroom, but it was unisex and very clean. If you arrive during a busy time, be prepared to wait a few minutes to drop off your car and then later get it back. The entrance to the parking garage is not too large, so there can be a backup of vehicles if there aren't enough valets on at the time. The parking is part of the hotel next door; your server will validate the parking ticket, so it is free. I highly recommend sampling different items on the menu with your party; everything I've eaten there or in their NYC location has always been A++++. Staff are accommodating and extremely attentive; our water glasses were always full, and management circulates throughout your experience. He noticed my partner needed a refill and brought it back to him once it was made. Even if you are not from the immediate area, this restaurant is worth a bit of a drive to have a 5-star experience.

The stuffed feta dates were the good balance of sweet and savory, and the eggplant dip was incredibly smooth and rich without feeling heavy. A little extra seasoning could go a long way with the dip! For mains, the salmon was beautifully cooked and well-seasoned, and the lamb shank was a standout--tender, deeply flavorful, and comforting in the best way. The falafel had a great crisp on the outside while staying soft inside. You can really tell they put care into each dish. What made the night extra special was the birthday surprise: the sweetest baklava presentation that felt so warm and personal. It was such a thoughtful touch. We also ended the night with cappuccinos, hot chocolate, and an affogato (not pictured), which were the perfect cozy finish. Overall, Shiraz Kitchen strikes a great balance between elevated and welcoming. It's the kind of place that feels just as right for a celebration as it does for a relaxed dinner. Would absolutely come back.
