Aperol aperitif and sparkling water.
Patty H.

We went to Lusardi's all the time years ago, but switched to delivery when my mother grew ill. So what a pleasure it was to go to Lusardi's for an early dinner in person with my elderly father recently! I love so many things about this restaurant. It's chic and warm and friendly, with tiny brass lamps on each table and a manager who goes to each table greeting people. The service is attentive and polite. The food is amazing. We love all the veal dishes, especially the Vitello Martini. The pizzas are delicious. Pappardelle Bolognese is fabulous. Salads light, pretty, and perfectly dressed. A serious wine list. What's not to love? My favorite Larchmont restaurant!

If Thanksgiving Day is for turkey and stuffing, Thanksgiving Eve is for spaghetti and meatballs. And celebrating my mother's birthday. And my brother-in-law's birthday. And my nephew's birthday. And me and my twin sister's birthday. So we assembled la familia and came to Lusardi's to enjoy an Italian feast. Upon arriving to the popular Larchmont ristorante, the host quickly escorted our group of sixteen to the private back room that they had set aside for us. Our head waiter took drink orders and returned with wine, beers, and a few cocktails. They have an impressive wine selection. Some of our group split a bottle of Super Tuscan. I kept it simple with a Peroni. Having been here before, my sister ordered appetizers for the table. She chose well. We had the carciofini fritti (crispy artichokes), meatballs, margherita pizza, and insalata della casa (house salad). The artichokes were the standouts. Very crispy and they went perfect with the marinara. For my entree, I picked the lasagna (a special for that night). I've always felt that quality shows best in a simple dish when poor cooking or ingredients have nowhere to hide, and that's how Lusardi's proved itself. The five-layer dish didn't need any gimmicks. It was just a well-executed version of the timeless classic. A nice hearty sauce and just the right amount of cheese. Traditional Italian fare made with fresh ingredients and attention to detail. That's what Lusardi's is all about. Take the meatballs for example. Classically made. No funny stuff. But they were delicious. My eighteen-month old son literally ate FIVE of them--each roughly the size of a billiard ball. Again, simplicity done right. When it came time for dessert, we weren't very hungry, but we ordered some anyway. And I'm glad we did. The tiramisu was among the best I've had. Truly stellar. A great night. A great meal, and a fun way to celebrate five birthdays at once. There's nothing like a meatball to roll into Thanksgiving.

Nice place with good food and a friendly and attentive staff. In door and out door seating adds a nice touch. Beautiful Bar area with very expansive wine choices.

Espresso martini

Really is 5 Stars. I have been here several times and every time you leave with a smile and talking about the food. The Pappardelle Bolognese, Vitello Martini, Pollo Scarpariello, and of course baked clams. By the way, the broccoli will be the best you ever had. (I know that's a weird call out but you'll understand when you try it) Drinks are great, especially the espresso martini (order it without Bailey's). Service and ambience are what you would expect at a fine dining Italian restaurant...really well done. Not stuffy...just really nice.

Food was good, service was very slow. It took an hour for our entrees to arrive. No excuse for a restaurant as popular as this one.

We came right when they opened at noon on a Saturday. All the staff were friendly and welcoming…read more Their cocktail menu was fantastic. Tons of options and flavors; it was hard to choose! I started with the tamarind margarita. The tamarind flavor was a bit subtle and the drink was on the sweeter side, but it was pretty good. I also tried the passionfruit mojito, which was a little more tangy and strong. My husband enjoyed the strawberry mojito and tom collins. To eat, I had the burrata avocado toast. It was a great portion size, with two large pieces of toast. However, the flavor was a bit bland. My husband was happy with the chorizo omelette, which was also quite large. The decor is tasteful and they have digital menus on tablets. They also have a nice outdoor seating section. Perfect for date night (or day!)

On a beautiful afternoon, we decided to grab a table on the patio, and it was the perfect choice. The outdoor seating created a relaxed, inviting atmosphere that made it easy to settle in and enjoy brunch. The restaurant itself has a modern, stylish aesthetic that feels elevated without being pretentious. From the moment we sat down, the service was exceptional. Our server was attentive, welcoming, and struck that perfect balance of checking in without ever making us feel rushed. Now, let's talk about the food. The Tres Leches French Toast completely exceeded my expectations. I've had plenty of French toast over the years, but this one stood out. It was incredibly soft and fluffy with beautifully crisp edges, creating that perfect contrast in texture. The tres leches flavor was rich enough that it genuinely didn't need syrup--a rare compliment for French toast. Every bite was indulgent without feeling overly sweet. Paired with the perfectly cooked apple-smoked bacon and a bowl of fresh fruit, it was one of the better brunch plates I've had in quite some time. I also ordered the strawberry mimosa, which was bright, refreshing, and not overly sweet. It was the perfect companion to brunch. We couldn't leave without trying the Chicken Burrata Sandwich, and I'm so glad we did. The burrata was fresh and creamy, the chicken was juicy, and the spicy sauce added just enough heat to keep every bite interesting without overpowering the sandwich. Then there was the bun--soft, fresh, and sturdy enough to hold everything together. It tied the entire sandwich together beautifully. The fries deserve their own mention. Golden brown, perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside--exactly how fries should be. Between the beautiful setting, genuinely attentive service, and food that delivered across the board, 179 Bar & Grill earned every one of these five stars. It's the kind of place that's just as good for a casual brunch as it would be for bringing friends or celebrating a special occasion. I'll absolutely be back--and next time, I'm already planning to explore more of the menu.

We had a rehearsal dinner cocktail party in the side room here…read more The communication prior to the event with David was super competent and very nice and helpful. Any request I made was answered with " yes, sure". The staff was at the ready to help us drag in and set up our big boxes of favors.

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.
