We went heavy on appetizers; shishito peppers (not for the faint of heart), Pastrami egg rolls (everyone's fave), Crispy artichokes and Hummus (awesome pita! Mom's favorite). The Shrimp & Lobster Mac and cheese was a standout. Loved by all. Chicken Shawarma was fine. Pot of Mussels was very good (not the "moules" you'd find in Brussels, but they stand on their own merits.) Lovely evening.

Our party of 9 was seated in the dining area in the back of the restaurant, where it's a little quieter and more intimate - perfect for our occasion. The area's changed the last 10-15 years or so - small boutique stores replaced by banks and a lot more franchises popping up in the area, but I'm glad that there's something repping the hometown people.

It was so delicious! I still think about it often. I am not a fan of watermelon but I found the watermelon arugula salad to be very refreshing. The calamari and shrimp were delicious. I also enjoyed the sausage and beans. I ordered a blood orange margarita both times I've been here and the drinks have been consistent. I also had their chocolate tortino a la mode, which was pretty good. It wasn't overwhelmingly sweet which I appreciated. I definitely will be back for the schizzetto. Looking forward to returning soon!

The crust was perfectly cooked, with just the right texture and chew, while still feeling light and delicate. The cheese was incredibly fresh, creamy, and flavorful, and every ingredient worked beautifully together. It was simple, authentic, and perfectly balanced--the kind of pizza that makes you slow down and enjoy every bite. The overall taste and quality genuinely made us feel as though we were dining in Italy. Do not miss it! Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent suggestions throughout the evening. And Fabio, the restaurant manager--if you don't introduce yourself, you're missing the opportunity to meet someone who genuinely cares about his guests and their experience. This restaurant is a true local gem. Despite living on Long Island, I will definitely be back! Table 17!

THE FOOD ----------------…read more+ New England Seafood Chowder - Very good. Came out piping hot and had lots of potato chunks, carrots and fish inside. Only knock is we wish we had more! + Clam Pizza - Personal pie size pizza. Honestly, just the right size. Verrrrry delicious and verrrrry flavorful, BUTTTTT the flavor didn't come from the clams - it came from the over-dominating flavor of the bacon scattered all over the pizza. Not to say that the bacon flavor was bad, but it could have used more clams. + Kids Mac and Cheese - Gooey just the way we, especially our kids, love it. + Grilled Angus Burger - Solid burger. Cooked medium and it was the right shade of pink inside, but the burger was a litttttle dry. It was not dripping juices and oil as I would prefer. Plenty of fries onions on it though. Fries reminded me of the thin McD fries. + Steak Tacos - Just 2 tacos. Would have liked if it was an order of 3. Steak was good though. Guac inside mixed with the steak chunks definitely made it better considering that the steak was well done. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Friendly and courteous waiter. Accommodated our numerous ketchup requests and never forgot anything. + Food came out VERY quickly. - For the Grilled Angus Burger, cheese did not come with it for free, but the waiter asked what cheese I wanted, which misled me to think that cheese came with the order. I ended up adding swiss cheese, which definitely made the burger better, but it was an extra charge. The extra $2 for the cheese was not the issue, but the way that I felt that the waiter misled me was the issue. Instead of asking what cheese I wanted, he should have asked "Would you like cheese with your order?" It's the principle. Feel me? Because of this, had to knock off a star off what would have been a 4-star review. THE SURROUNDINGS -------------------------------- + Private parking lot was in the back. All of the spaces in the front are for the Rye Train Station and paid, so DO NOT park in front of the restaurant if you're here to dine. + SUPER spacious restaurant with 2 levels - 2nd level seems like it is for private parties. 1st level has 3 dining areas PLUS a nice, huge bar area. + Multiple TVs located by the bar. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- + Came by on a random August Friday at 11:45 AM and, as expected, it was pretty quiet at first, but business picked up verybquickly and it became pretty busy by 12:45.

The owner runs around the restaurant all night long looking frantic. The head waiter seems like a robot, before I was even seated he was asking what type of water we wanted and did we want a cocktail. He insists on explaining all the specials clearly printed on the menu. He was also sporting a bandaid on his face. Service is very rushed and the head waiter yells at the rest of the staff to do things, like clearing the tables. I found my veal with mixed mushrooms to be tough. My husband said his chicken was good. The fried calamari was tasty but we had to instruct the kitchen to prepare them well done and crispy. I think there was a lack of seasoning for all the food. I guess this is why we only go here once a year. There are plenty of better restaurants to try locally. This is a definite no!

First time at Sergio's, and it was a lively and enjoyable experience…read more The restaurant has a beautiful dining space and a very energetic dinner and bar crowd, with plenty of staff attending to tables. They also offer an enclosed atrium area, which seemed like a quieter option--but the heat was a bit too high for us, so we chose to sit inside. It was quite loud, so next time I would try the atrium area near the entrance for a more comfortable noise level. One of the highlights right away was the complimentary antipasto: a nice plate of mixed cheeses, olives, and sliced salami, along with a basket of bread. The thin, crispy salted bread was seriously addictive--so good! Paired well with our Aperol Spritz. We started by splitting the fried zucchini flower blossoms stuffed with ricotta, served over tomato sauce. You get two per order; they were good. For entrées, my friend ordered the Pollo Fino--strips of chicken breast topped with asparagus, shrimp, and mushrooms in a white wine citrus sauce. It came with four jumbo shrimp, and she said it was incredibly good. I had the Pappardelle alla Boschiola with prosciutto di Parma and green peas in a pink sauce. It was a generous portion and very tasty. I later noticed the menu included mushrooms, which didn't seem to be in my dish, but I did not catch it at the time. We finished by sharing the Napoleon dessert--my friend had raved about it. The flavor was good, and our server nicely split it for us, but the pastry layers were quite crunchy, making it challenging to eat. Overall, a fun atmosphere with tasty food. They have a big parking lot offering valet service.
