    This place is one of those neighborhood - if you know, you know - place. Authentic, ole Italian, delicious food! From soup and salads, breads, chicken parm, ole school pasta dishes, fish and of course dessert! Apple Brown Betty was to die for If you have the opportunity and are in the area - definitely stop by DeCosta's

    So we baptize my granddaughter today and we had an intimate gathering of 30 at this wonderful establishment, the staff could not have been more commentating plenty of parking. The food was delicious. Anything we tried there was superb. I wanna come back and have dinner. I truly enjoyed my experience and how kind the staff was. Thank you so much.

    The restaurant is located in the corner of highways so it could be challenging to get around and find it. The ambiance was ok. It's not the most established restaurant I have been to. The foods are good and for the dining Area this humble I would expect a little less expensive. But at least all the foods are good and authentic

    Dessert  Delicious Lava Cake

    I hope the owners of Decosta's read this review, because I'd like to apologize to them. I moved to Yonkers 7 years ago, passed this restaurant hundreds of times because I live a 1/4 mile away from this outstanding place. My wife and I went there this past Saturday. Can not stop thinking about how wonderful our experience was. Service, Dinner, dessert was a 10+ They will be seeing us a lot more. Wow !!! what an outstanding place to eat. Ada & Sal

    De Costa's Fine Italian Dining 5/21/2024 Celebrating our 36th Wedding Anniversary we ordered a favorite Fried Calamari as an app. The size of the Squid was cut into nice size pieces and coated very well. The mouth feel was very tender and soft. I ordered the Seafood Pescatore that consisted of Shrimp, Clams, Mussels, and Calamari, in a Tomato Sauce, served on a bed of Fettuccine. The dish was very well made with a Devine taste. My husband ordered a daily Special of Stripped Bass topped with Shrimp, a side of Potato Croquettes and Broccoli Rabe. My husband said he thoroughly enjoyed his food and again it was very well prepared. The wait staff was very professional and attentive. Although this place is a bit pricey, it is more than well worth the price! I would tell anyone to come and give this place a try as you feel welcome and the food is excellent, you won't regret it.

    Delicious home style Italian food! Very nice family type ambiance that is really good with nice sized portions. This is a must try restaurant that you would be proud to bring your " Nonna" to!

    Yesterday, my buddy and I decided to do deep dive into Sea Fire Grill. We tried their several…read moreappetizers, two entrees, four sides, 2 desserts and their Old Fashions. Only the finest restaurants truly know how to make Old Fashions and no one else makes a better one than the Sea Fire Grill. I love fried, crisp calamari and theirs was particularly good. My friend had colossal shrimp and loved it. I sampled one, and I concur with him. We each had the lobster bisque soup which was superb. The best I have ever had. I had the New York Sirloin which was mouthwatering It was so good that after each bite, I just sat back in my chair and savored it as I slowly chewed. For sides, I had the fingerling potatoes and shared the broccoli rabe. My friend had the roasted Mediterranean branzino, that he went crazy over. We topped everything off with a delicious chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream. The does not even scratch the surface of what dining is like here. It is the ambiance, the beautiful, relaxing view of the Hudson River and the New York and New Jersey shorelines. It is the knowledge each worker has about the food and drinks served. Inside, the restaurant's decor...well, you will not find it better anywhere else. I cannot wait to return in the fall when the setting sun turns the Hudson orange. Excellent restaurant and staff.

    Beautiful room, beautiful views, and a kitchen that can't back either up…read more We arrived to a mostly empty dining room with gorgeous Hudson River views. After being offered a table in the center of the empty room, we asked for a window table and were seated at a four-top. Then the disorganization started: we were asked about water preference, handed a drink menu, and left for a good five minutes with no food menus while several waiters stood idle nearby. When our waiter arrived, he seemed surprised our reservation was for two, cleared the extra settings, and brought menus -- one of which was missing the appetizer page entirely. The food was hit-or-miss, mostly miss. The bright spots: an excellent mocktail, very good jumbo shrimp cocktail (nice touch serving remoulade, mignonette, and caper berries), and broccoli rabe that was legitimately the best thing on the table -- perfectly cooked, garlic and red pepper spot on. Now the rest. The Kumamoto oysters weren't served as cold as they should be, and one was fishy. My girlfriend's cocktail was mediocre. Her halibut had a mealy texture, and the gnocchi and fava beans alongside it were underseasoned. My $165 tomahawk arrived visibly overcooked -- enough that our waiter told the server to skip the usual tableside butter-basting to avoid cooking it further. I didn't send it back because my girlfriend's food was already down and I didn't want to eat alone twenty minutes later. Each slice had a half-inch gray band around the edge with only a narrow strip of medium-rare in the center. It carried an aged smell and flavor, but not the clean, nutty character of a properly dry- or wet-aged steak. For that price point, this cut should be the kitchen's signature. It wasn't close. The lobster mac was the low point: the lobster meat tasted fishy -- something I've rarely encountered anywhere -- and the dish had a dried-out crust suggesting it sat under a heat lamp before reaching us. Dessert, a lava cake, was genuinely delicious. Telling that the best course of the night was the one most likely not made in-house. Service throughout was disjointed: my empty drink was never addressed, and after dessert we sat roughly ten minutes before flagging someone down for the check. On the way out, I spoke with the two managers standing near the entrance -- making clear upfront that I wasn't seeking comps or special treatment, just giving honest feedback since I was unlikely to return. One manager simply stood and listened. The other, who introduced himself as "the boss," told me I should have spoken up during the meal, assured me they have a strong following with famous clientele, and disputed our initial wait time despite not having been in sight when it happened. Meanwhile, our waiter stood conspicuously within earshot listening to the conversation rather than tending his tables. Worth noting: we learned the same group runs Benjamin Steakhouse in Hartsdale, where I've had a similarly mediocre experience. The consistency across locations tells you this isn't an off night -- it's the standard. If you want to pay Manhattan steakhouse prices for inconsistent food and disorganized service -- with a great view -- this is your place. We won't be back.

I wish she had told us this sooner, as we had to place a new order for my in-laws while we were almost done with our own food. strange that they were out of snow crab legs and dungeness crab so early in the evening and with so few customers. also the restaurant is freezing cold, dingy, and dark, which adds to the over all unpleasant dining experience. definitely skip this place!

It's not the most fancy of places, actually it's a little crowded on a weekend night, but the service and food are top notch so it's well worth the visit! Would highly recommend for any fish lovers!

The avocado and shrimp appetizer used to be a normal, generous size, and now the portion is practically half the size. The same goes for the crab cake, which has gone from a substantial portion to almost bite-size. The service was good, but unfortunately, the significant decrease in portion sizes and overall quality makes it hard to justify returning especially for the prices.
