This place was nice, with a few missteps, but overall, it earned 4 stars. The restaurant has two areas with the real dining room in the back. It's got a rustic feel. They weren't busy when we went so the back only had a few tables taken. The staff is nice and attentive. They were warm and familiar, which suits the vibe. There are definitely a few off putting things in their menu, which is a shame because it sort of set the evening on a sour note. The menu has a note about charging 4% for credit cards due to the credit card company fees, but then also includes "you can always pay cash!" For a more upscale restaurant, what seemed an admonition for paying with a credit card was ridiculous. If they feel that strongly, they could choose to be cash only, but they know most people pay with credit card. For a restaurant of this price point, offering a discount for those paying in cash is less offensive than punishing people paying with credit card. In addition, on all the entrées, there was a note that substitutions would cost extra. It felt aggressive being listed next to each and every single entrée. Just put a note at the bottom of the menu. As the menu is the first thing that customers interact with, it definitely set a negative tone. We ordered the meatball appetizer, the spaghettoni padre pío (one of their signature dishes), and the chicken scarpiello. They also bring an eggplant caponata with two kinds of bread as a complimentary start to the meal. The caponata was fine. There was nothing particularly special about it. We asked if they made it in house, and we were told that it was. They informed us that they also sold jars of it, so my guess would be that they don't make it fresh for dinner service, but that they use what they've already made. Again, it was perfectly fine, but nothing special. It was a little oily and a little sweet, which is common for items that are jarred and need to have a shelf life. They offered us more bread and brought us a second serving of it, and the second serving was actually less sweet and less oily, so my guess is that it was either more freshly made or a different jar. They also brought a jar of olive oil, and the olive oil was pretty flavorless, and just not what you would expect from a good Italian restaurant. If you are giving olive oil with bread at an Italian restaurant, it should be excellent olive oil. Clearly the caponata is meant to be the star (and the bread was pretty nice). The meatballs are Kobe beef, which explains why they were smaller in size than you would expect for a meatball appetizer. Overall, they were also just fine. They did not have the luxurious quality you would expect from Kobe beef. It also came with a scoop of ricotta on top. The cool, ricotta contrasted nicely with the meatballs, but overall I would say the ricotta was not seasoned at all. I assume they make it fresh in house, and if that's true, they need to add salt to it. It was just very bland. Overall underwhelming. I would not get this dish again. But where they really shone were the main dishes. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and was perfectly balanced. The eggplant was sweet and had that smoky flavor from being cooked. The pasta sauce was nice and was perfectly complimented by the burrata. Taking a little bit of the eggplant and burrata with each forkful of pasta made for a perfect bite. The chicken scarp was amazing. We got it off the bone and with sausage added. Both of which were an extra charge which is laid out very clearly in the menu. The sausage was a fantastic addition and I would absolutely recommend it. The sauce had so much flavor and was unctuous, it kept us going back for another bite. Overall, the main issues with this place are clearly more in tone on the menu, than in execution, although the start of our meal was a little uninspired. We enjoyed the food and would come back again. The staff was friendly and attentive, and overall enjoyed ourselves.

We had an amazing dinner here! We started off with a smoked salmon special appetizer that was absolutely delicious, followed by the chef's creation of a zuppa di pesce. The seafood was extremely fresh, the shrimp, crisp and delicious, but the mussels were outstanding! Probably some of the most tender, pillowy mussels I've had since returning from Italy. The tomato sauce was rich and just sheer perfection. The service was exceptional, our waiter was so nice, efficient and personable. We ended this feast with the pistachio gelato that was outstanding as well. Can't wait to go back and try another creation by Chef Andrea.

Decided to try this place for the first time since it opened about a month ago . Ambiance was nice , I really the liked the pictures of Padre Pio . Everything was tasty. It definitely is a place that makes you feel at home . The only thing that that was disappointing is when I asked for a bottle of Gavi and I got a bottle for $95 that I asked the price and he did not reply . I definitely would not have gotten a bottle of white wine for $95. The waiter should have told me the price when he told me he had a bottle Gavi , especially when I asked .

Wonderful food and service!! Every dish we had was flavorful and filling. We also had the Arancini and Calamari (I forgot to take pictures) and they were to die for! Calamari was fresh and light, and the arancini melted in your mouth. The cavatelli was definitely fresh and so delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant was definitely 'rustic Italian' with nice dim lighting. Wasn't too loud which was nice, but it still felt cozy. The service was great, Arturo was amazing, he recommended great wine choices and helped us pick our entrees. He was very attentive and always checked in throughout the meal. Overall I would definitely come back, there are so many menu options left for me to try! I would totally give it a shot if you're looking for classic Italian food made really, really well.

Took pic after we ate a lot of it!! So yummy

Love everything about this place! The eggplant appetizer is truly the most delicious thing I've eaten in a long time. The fried calamari is so fresh and crispy and hot. We came for drinks and appetizers and it was perfect! Pic of calamari after most of it was eaten!

Shiraz is a great restaurant to try out if you're looking for Persian cuisine! The food is great…read moreand the service is excellent. They truly care about your experience and are very attentive. The atmosphere is very pleasant, warm, and classy. The Labneh is a great starter to get for the table and my favorite entree is the ground beef koobideh with either the basmati rice or fries. In general I typically skip dessert wherever I go but at Shiraz I really enjoy the saffron ice cream. My family and I always have a great time at Shiraz and look forward to coming back again and again.

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.

We had a fantastic meal and an all-around great experience. For appetizers, we shared the octopus, a Margherita pizza, and fresh tomatoes with mozzarella drizzled with balsamic. Everything was fresh and flavorful. I ordered the Pork Chop Milanese and absolutely loved it -- the breading was perfectly crisp and seasoned just right. 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. For dessert, we had cannolis with a light filling I hadn't tasted before -- not overly sweet, just smooth and really good. Our young Italian waiter was on top of his game all night. He was attentive, professional, and even humored most of my dad jokes. Highly recommend this spot. Go, eat fresh, drink moderately, and tip well.

I opted for water as my grandson did and his fiancé order a glass of white wine. It was Sauvignon Blanc, and she found very satisfying. For an appetizer, we shared a truffle pizza. It was a different flavor that I never had before, but very tasty. For entrees they ordered a sliced steak and chicken parm. I went for the seared duck with mushroom gravy. I never had duck served this way. I really really enjoyed it. No one wanted a dessert so my grandson ordered espresso and I ordered a cappuccino. The waitress brought us thin slices of powdered sugar biscotti as a compliment. The ambience is quiet and cozy and dimly lit with an electric light on each table. On the menu it mentions like this restaurant is a sister location of Cafe Alia, also in Scarsdale. This was an excellent choice for Thursday night. You won't be disappointed.Sal E. New Rochelle

The service is always stellar with a good wine menu. The ambiance is peaceful and cozy always with the Garth Road locals who are such wonderful people. But I actually came here twice this week because of their personal pizzas. The manager told me to try it and I fell in love with it, in addition to their mouth watering paella. I even stopped by there yesterday just to have a couple of glasses of wine. Knowing myself, I'll be back there this weekend or next week.
