Smeeth W.

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!

Pier 192 is straight up the best spot for a lobster roll. I've been there a bunch and I've ordered…read moreit four times already--I don't even bother trying anything else at this point. It's loaded with lobster, tastes fresh every time, and they actually give you a solid portion. The bread's toasted right, just hits every time. Shouldn't go anywhere else but the pier for a nice lobster roll. Service was amazing and the ambiance just fits the name of the establishment perfectly.

This was recommended to my wife and I by her friends. So don't get me wrong, I was never a big fan…read moreof seafood. Sure I love sushi, but if it tastes fishy, it's bad fish and growing up in Norway on boiled fish and an evil concoction called Lutefisk. I haven't been a big fan of the seafood scene here in the tri-state. This placed changed my mind. The first time here our waitress, Beth made sure we knew what was fresh and popular for the evening. Throw in the fact that the owner Ralph and his mom checked in on us that we were happy with our dinners made this a great over the top local place. Food: For appetizers I had the escargot. It was amazing. Not your standard escargot in a standard scalloped dish with a small dash of garlic and butter, but a bowl consisting of a wonderful broth of escargot, garlic, butter and accompanied with toasted baguette slices. Mains: My wife ordered the "Codfather"consisting of cod, shrimp and scallops. Let's just say I made sure to keep my arms and hands on my side of the table and not attempt to try a sample from her plate with the fear of losing a digit. I ordered the fish and chips. Hey! It's fried, can't go wrong as a non-fish eater going with this route. Nope. Beyond my expectations. My last best fish and chips was at the famous take away at the Borough Market in London. This version? Fresh Cod, well done fries, homemade tartar sauce and coleslaw, just saved me the airfare to the UK. We have all ready been back twice. It is our new fave.

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!

However, I was not here for the decor. I was here for the food and the drinks! And neither was a disappointment! We ordered two tequila sunrises. Initially I was taken back by the drink served in a plastic resealable bag. That drink was so good and potent- I had to order a water! I felt the drink hit me before I was even half done with it. Then I understood the resealable bag. I could take it home. Genius. The scallops for the appetizers weren't bad at all! I was impressed. But the kicker was the boils. My date had a combo with snow crab. I on the other hand ordered the crab du jour, 2 lobster tails, 1 lb of shrimp, 1 lb clams, sausage, potato and two corns in medium spice with old bay. Suffice it to say I didn't realize the sheer seriousness of my order. Yes, I took it home and went in deep once again. I have no complaints. The food was awesome. The drinks were generous, the waitress was on point. Definitely will be heading back!

The food itself was well packaged and flavorful. However, it's very apparent that they use a mix of…read morereal lobster and imitation lobster for the roll. It seems that the ends of the roll are real lobster as the claw meat is obvious and the texture is much different. The meat in the center has a much different texture and firmness, and the taste is also much different. I did also get the crab fries and those were delicious as well as the crab cake! Won't order the roll again, but I'll for sure be getting the crab fries and crab cake again!
