    Appetizer on special: baked pears, burrata, prosciutto and more: fabulous

    Our first visit--very impressed! All the dishes were delicious and beautifully presented, wine was very good, Service very attentive. We liked how they keep the menu small in order to have everything freshly prepared. Pictured is the special appetizer which was to die for. We will be back again soon!

    Absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend more. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Right in the heart of Irvington, Mambo Italiano is a beautiful Italian caffe/dinner spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They make everything in-house, and boy is it good! I have dined both for lunch and dinner, and neither disappointed. It's a small, friendly staff, and they cultivate a family-like vibe. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is warm and inviting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Despite how good it is, I have never struggled to get a table (as someone who hates waiting that is a huge plus for me). Their menu is the perfect length, and you just cannot go wrong. We were greeted with fresh bread, and a delicious butter with some sort of pepper or cheesy mix-in. Tonight, our table enjoyed the fettuccine, orecchiette, and the braised pork -- all of which were fabulous. The portions are fairly big, too, so we got a second meal out of it! I paired my meal with their sangria, which is a white wine sangria. Not what I was expecting but I really enjoyed it. Very light and fruity. After dinner we enjoyed their cheesecake, which is rich yet fluffy and comes with a sort of a thin berry compote/jelly layer on top. We also had a homemade pistachio gelato. I believe it is a special this week, so get it while you still can! Seriously, I've never understood the hype behind pistachio ice cream but this was to die for. I would've purchased a whole tub. We were taken care of by both the server and who I believe to be the owner, though possibly she is just a manager. I felt truly cared for as a guest and attended to. It was a beautiful experience. The pricing is not cheap, necessarily, but I'd be happy to pay more even for the quality of the ingredients, cooking, dining atmosphere, and service. My only note is I would've loved a few craft cocktail options! But I didn't feel at all like they were lacking without it.

    I could start by writing about how I met Mambo Italiano's owner, but I'll veered off too much. But do know, the lady behind the name is Danielle Berarducci- a no-nonsense, firecracker who is clever in her own right when it comes to homemade breads, desserts, go-getter attitude, of course food and so much more. Located on Main St. in Irvington, NY, she and her business partner, Ana- who has Italian roots, took up the previous That Family Feeling Shop and turned Mambo into a comfy, sit-back, friendly restaurant. The space has beige walls, wood notes and a black accent wall by their counter+stools. And can we talk about the playlist? It's a lot of 60s, 70s and 80s Soul and Funk. The kitchen side of the counter functions as their easy-to-reach area for their most used condiments such as their herbs, garlic and citrus. Two of my ex co-teachers and I came for dinner to unwind and catch up on a Friday before my winter recess break. She started us with a silky ricotta(?) and her homemade bread. And that olive oil. Geeez. Sublime. Another starter was a warm bread basket with like yeasty rolls and a delicious sun dried+ tomato+basil(?) butter. So gorgeous in the mouth with her homemade bread- we joked we wanted to take tankfuls of it home! Between my friend's salad with grilled chicken, my other friend's grilled salmon+sautéed spinach+ couscous and my candy-tasting roasted sweet potato topped with my fave green arugula and ricotta(?)- everything and I mean everything was delightful. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals to the fullest. I personally can't wait to return. The owner made her dream come true. She and her business partner and the server all work harmoniously and did not miss a beat. It's a gathering spot, a romantic spot if you want it to be or whatever the mood you're into, this is the spot.

    Pistachio ice cream
    Jana R.

    Really enjoyed our time there. The lasagna was juicy and tasty, the escargot special was amazing, the pistachio ice cream was the best ice cream I've head in a while, very creamy, flavorful and not too sweet. We had a very attentive server who helped us make great food choices.

    Our son and cousin live in Dobbs Ferry so this place is a local hot spot…read more Very cordial management and they remember you after a couple of visits Electric Italian with a very large offering. Been there multiple time and have taken food home for take out at home. Large portions at reasonable prices. We live in California and we will be taking 3 new people this Friday for dinner. I call directly to make a reservations. Great people and great food. Could you ask for anything more than that.

    Hubs and I had heard from my auntie-in-law about her not-so-positive experience years ago- so it…read morewasn't like we were eager to come here for dinner then. But since we wrapped up with errands in the area, Scaramella's was it. Located in a mini strip mall in Dobbs Ferry, Scaramella's is very old-school- but with a splash of class and then some. Once you pass the foyer, their bar area greets you followed by their large dining room. At about 5pm on a Saturday, you can be seated with no issues. Any time after that, folks start piling up. Our server Anne Marie was no bull-shitter; got to the chase when she gave me a hush-hush tip on a Pear Salad I was eyeing. She's my girl alright. Our appetizers, were plentiful and tasty. Forget our main plates- because if you think you'll be getting a polite portion of pasta or any meal at that- think again. I honestly don't know if hub's spinach pasta was homemade- but that sucker was good. My $40 Swordfish+fresh carrots with an unexpected corn+ spinach medley, was tasty and abundant. Actually, I had leftovers. Can I also mention that these folks don't play around with their pours because my Lemon Drop was potent! Listen, I don't care that Scaramella's is located in strip mall or that my auntie-in-law didn't enjoy her meal years ago. From the looks of it, this place is happy-loud and has character. And no, it's not totally easy to park outside. That aside, our meals were satisfying, well-priced and the happy chaos, is all part of Scaramella's local charm.

    I'm so sorry for this late review but I dined here on 6/13 for my babygirls 16th Birthday! And I…read morehave been so crazed working and getting ready for our big trip, I haven't been able to sit still anyway, I wish I could give this restaurant more star so I will add to this review at the end. I got a great exclusive prefix menu for my Princesses day! I was able to make some changes and I tell you what I spent per person with my family was a fair price. The food was absolutely amazing. I'm sorry I don't have many food photos because I was trying to be in the moment! But I will be back and will try the patio which I had really hoped for for my party but there was another private party or large and we were upstairs but my girl said it gave her the bday vibe she wanted. We had reservations for 7p, I got there early and everyone welcomed us anyway and sat us immediately no waiting until your whole party arrives. We had amazing drinks, bread, family style apps the Burrata and the meatballs to die for! We all mixed between spicy rigatoni, seafood linguine frute de mar, filet Mignon, branzino, it was all amazing and I'm drooling as I type! Please give this place a try if you haven't because the service is 10 and food 10
