The 4 stars are primarily for the rib eye steak I had there recently...I can not believe what I am about to write, but out of the many places I have had steak at, the one @ Zuppa was amazing and ranks for me as one of the best. The appetizers were also quite tasty..the only misstep involved my wife's dessert, which was to be accompanied by a biscotti, yet instead the waiter mistakenly substituted that tasty almond cookie for a piece of dry garlic bread (must have been the dim lighting!) read more

One of the first restaurants to open as part of the Yonkers waterfront revitalization, Zuppa is still going strong. Wonderful atmosphere whether you're having a drink and appetizer in the lounge or a full dinner in the dining room. Fabulous mozzarella and tomato. Delicious, upscale Italian. read more

This establishment exemplifies everything that's wrong with restaurants today. The food is so-so, the prices are high, and the staff has an attitude problem. I mean, big time. It gets loud when full, even though the tables are well spaced. And TVs are on over the bar all the time, distracting attention. Of 9 dishes (4 appetizers, 4 entrees, 1 dessert) that four of us ordered the other night, one was good, six were just OK and two were unacceptable. My grill-charred octopus appetizer was dry and chewy and came with dry garbanzo beans. I managed to eat it by dipping it in a vinaigrette I made from the olive oil on the table and lemon juice I squeezed myself. My friend found her soft-shell crab, a special that night, equally dry and unpalatable and asked about the white wine sauce that we all heard the waiter describe. "We don't make it that way!" was his answer. With an attitude, as if there was something wrong with us, the uneducated diners with unsophisticated taste buds. He was the kind of waiter who at the same time was obsequious, nodding in agreement to our choices, but never present when we needed him. That's because he was spending most his time -- as was the manager, it appeared -- chatting and flirting with younger diners at other tables. One of the most annoying things in life is a waiter who asks, "How is everything?" and then turns his back and walks away before you have a chance to answer. And if you manage to get his attention and say something like, "Actually, this crab is dry and chewy," he starts to argue with you, that you don't understand fine cooking. Lesson learned: I should have sent it back. In our entire meal, nobody thought anything was delicious, except maybe the molten chocolate cake. Even the bread and the oilve oil were not exemplary -- which they should be in a place where you are kept waiting a bit too long for your appetizers to come out. All said and done, nobody wanted to come back here and spend more than $200 on a dinner for four like this. read more

I found zuppa before they were very popular. First two times I was there it was amazing. its hard to find good Italian that is worth the price they charge. Most Italian are not as good as home cooking. I was pleased to find an italian restaurant where i could say "No way I could make it this good" however the 3rd time when i decided to bring my parents to introduce my girl friend, there the food was pretty bland, and their waiters were attending to a large party. This was interestingly enough after they re did their menu. portions got super small, food got less creative, and more bland. The lamb was raw not med-rare. (Yes I know the difference between bloody and raw, I am an expert lion, i eat my meat bloody, but cooked there is a difference) had to send it back to be cooked again. Seems like once they got a steady stream of customers quality went down hill. I would love to give them another shot but I can't gamble a good meal especially for the prices they charge. read more

Skirt steak was outstanding. Flat breads were great. Overall great place to eat!

Wow! Four years have flown by since we last went. The place has expanded and is bigger. The service was good on Mother's Day. Food came fairly quickly so pleasantly surprised. We ordered three different pasta dishes (one was a special) and they all were surprising not large quantities and each were simply prepared. Each had one vegetable or meat. No focus on presentation of dish. And more shockingly, there was not much flavor in the dishes. Maybe they held back on salt and pepper on Mother's Day? Not sure but we were so hungry we ordered two desserts...so small entree portions..not a bad thing normally. read more

We had a large party over the weekend and the entire Zuppa team has been excellent with communication from the start. They were able to move us into their private wine cellar room which was perfect. It's not easy to cater to a loud and crazy bunch, but everyone at the restaurant was super kind and attentive to our needs. They definitely exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond for us. It was a bonus that the food was amazing, because the service was top notch. Thank you Zuppa for an amazing evening- it could not have been better! read more

Food here is Delish! I had dinner here with friends and they absolutely loved it. The staff was beyond pleasant. It was truly a nice evening. Kudos to the manager that was able to reserve a table for ten at the last minute, even when the restaurant was full. Should all restaurants have the superior service that Zuppa had! read more

We stopped here for lunch (thank you Yelp) and the reviews were on point - this is a VERY good restaurant! Everything we had (party of 6) was delicious, especially the deserts which we at first were not going to have but, based on the menu, decided to indulge and were not disappointed - a special mention to the Gelato which was as good as it gets. I give it 5 stars based on food, terrific service and a wonderful dining space. Frankly for us a total surprise as to how good Zuppa was - would go out of my way to dine again. read more

I'll try to make this short because I have endless wonderful things to say about this restaurant. Zuppa Restaurant is one of my favorite restaurants. Their dishes are consistently innovative and delicious. I have celebrated some of mine and my family's most important milestones at the restaurant and Zuppa's food and staff have always exceeded our expectations. Whether you're interested in a romantic table for two, birthday dinner or just an after work drink, you'll never go wrong with Zuppa. read more

We dined twice now at Zuppa's, the first time was a Monday night, and again this past Sunday night. Both times we were treated to the valet service. Both times we had a romantic seat for two in a corner. Both times we were served most charmingly by Alex. All of our multiple courses were tasty and fresh. Alex was very attentive, and never allowed our wine glasses to go dry. I would recommend this restaurant highly, and help keep it open to keep Yonkers vital. Don read more

First of all, my parking meter ate better than I did. I put in over an hours worth of quarters and I had to go back to put more in...and fight off a dude outside asking for change. They were that slow and all I ordered was a pizza and a pasta. The service was really friendly and nice, but I thought they were also over priced and the food wasn't spectacular. The mozzarella was super fresh. I don't have any desire to return though. read more

We finally had dinner here on the way north from the city. We are happy we made it to this fantastic Italian restaurant. The salmon was extremely delicious with whipped carrots and ramps. What a great combination. Salads were well prepared, esp. the artichoke salad was very tasty. The restaurant is spacious with excellent service. It is good that there is valet parking as there is no nearby parking. We will go back. read more

Yummy food every time we've been here. If you live in Yonkers and looking for a nice night out, I would recommend giving this place a shot. A little pricey and feels a little stuffy and elitist at times. read more

The people here are so nice, I am a fan. Their menu is kinda weird for an Italian restaurant. I am more used to "peasant Italian," I suppose. It's nouvelle Italian. The bar snacks, whole wheat bow tie pasta sprinkled with cayenne pepper is addictive. Hummus comes with your bread. Their salads are small enough that you don't have to split them. I just want me some appetizer size mussels one night. Or a meatball. Or some primavera marinara whole wheat pasta. But, I like Raquel, Robert, Nando and Eddie so much that I will indulge my friend's crazier-than-mine food habits, drink good wine while he has happy beers and overload on that crazy bow-tie pasta bar hook food. read more

Cozy, nice local place. Food is good not great and the service is hit or miss. For the price I hoped for more.

Very mediocre, I only enjoyed my appetizer, lamb meatballs with creamy polenta. My pasta dish was very bland and hardly had any sauce. Desert was terrible, red velvet cake in a way to sweet strawberry syrup and it had no frosting on it, so I would not even consider it a red velvet cake. We did unfortunately go on Valentine's day so the menu was limited but even with a broader menu I do not find the price worth the dishes they are putting out. You'd be better off taking the train into the city! read more

What an amazing treat Zuppa is. Not your authentic or traditional italan menu, but my goodness was it an awesome and unique experience. From The flavorful brick oven pizza to the grappa enfused shrimp and pasta, and the bolognese sauces. You MUST eat here. Oh, and save room for dessert! Zeppolinis rock! read more

I just had a corporate dinner here for 10 and the service was impeccable. Truly great food! I could not have asked for e better time!!!

What an exceptional excellent restaurant you would not expect in yonkers. We had a delicious meal and a funny waiter. She took time with us. And even offered to exchange a beverage she recommended but my husband didn't like... We will come back! read more

Beautiful decor, and contemporary Italian fare. The atmosphere is very glamorous but cozy and cool. Great place for dinner over the holidays- very classy Christmas decor. Nothing kitschy. Beautiful Christmas tree. Went there with my parents (who are picky) for XMas Eve, and service was great! Myself and my dad had the special Nutella braised short ribs, and my dad actually said they were possibly the best short ribs he ever had! My mom had the brick pressed chicken special with polenta, and said it was delicious! They also have these awesome seasoned and baked bow-tie pastas to munch on at the bar! Free valet parking! I know, it is very difficult to find parking in DT Yonkers! read more

This place is truly amazing! My bridal shower was hosted here and I can't imagine it could have gone any better. The owner Nando was very responsive and accommodating throughout the whole process. The ambiance was perfect for the bridal shower. They set up music that was fitting and the the food was AMAZING! Everyone cannot stop talking about how good the food was. Hors d'oeuvres were delicious and the wait staff was amazing! We had wine and mimosas passed as well and the bartenders made sure everyone had a glass in their hands at all times. We had the buffet style food served and it was soooo tasty! This place should get 10 stars and the option were available! Thank you so much for making this special event so memorable :) read more

This place was actually really better than what I had originally thought. Great live music playing (I'm guessing on some nights.. went on a Tuesday night for a birthday dinner) and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The vitello (veal) was great, very tender, and the sauce was wonderful. I tried out my friend's pork with scalloped potatoes and asparagus (it was a special). If you've worked in a restaurant, you'd know what they have those specials for (partially *wink*), so I tend to stay off course as far as that goes. But the panna cotta was great; you can't really go wrong with that. read more

My first time there and I order my usual Long Island at the bar. The drink was so watered down, I was pissed, but was polite. Nice and neat atmosphere, but DO NOT order a mixed drink. read more

I went here in mid-January 2008 with my husband on a Wednesday night. We had 8pm reservations and when we walked in the place was pretty bare except for some people at the bar and 2-3 tables in the dining room. I was unfamiliar with that area of Yonkers so I was thankful for the valet parking. The restaurant itself is larger than I thought and nicely decorated. The bar area (which is huge with tables of its own) is separated from the dining room. Despite the "I couldn't care less" attitiude of the waiter, I enjoyed the restaurant and I would go back. The reason? The food was great. The chef obviously put some thought into the menu and the specials. I started with the papardelle ragu and my husband had the grilled barbque octopus. He didn't care for the octopus but my pasta was out of this world. I was very impressed. For my main course I had the cod entree special and my husband had the veal cheeks pastrami with mustard butter. Both were phenomenal. Before they served our food they served us a complimentary beet (yes beet, not beef) and it was interesting...I think I liked it. The thing I liked the best about this place was that I felt that the chef was really trying. There was a definite effort put into the food and it paid off. I just hope this restaurant makes it and the chef continues to have an opportunity to impress. Definitely worth the trip to Yonkers and worth a try. Nice wine list too. read more

Good food and service. Nice atmosphere. Pretty space.The annoying thing was that we were seated facing the bar and the two flat-screen TVs that were on two different cooking shows the entire time we were dining. We had roasted tomato soup and fried smelt for appetizers. Entrees were squid ink seafood pasta and the chestnut/walnut ravioli. Bread came with a hummus-type spread. Perhaps a bit more seasoning, but it was all good. read more

Equally divine in both cuisine & ambiance. I've eaten here 6-7 times over the past 3 years, & every course of each meal has been inventive, delicious, & prepared with care. The bar is also excellent - they have quality wines by both the glass & bottle, as well as a respectable variety of imported & domestic spirits. You can tell lots of time & attention have been given to all the details here. Service is attentive & professional. Perfect for a date, after work drink, or a special occasion. Romantic, classy, and unpretentious all in one! Love Zuppa read more

Wonderful night to spoil myself on a work trip! Chestnut filled ravioli made my night! Wine selection is delicious.

Love this place. My favorite is the steak and polenta. Edi, Nandi, Pasquale and staff are amazing hosts. They treat you like family

This review is a bit more personal than most because we had our wedding lunch at Zuppa Restaurant this past Sunday and boy, are we glad that we did ! ALL the staff, Nando, Edi and Charlie couldn't have been nicer and more accomodating. The food, as usual, was excellent but what really made it special was the friendly, relaxed, family atmosphere that Zuppa provided. All of our 35+ guests only had compliments for Zuppa Restaurant. Thank you. read more

I love this place so much. My grandparents and I have been coming here for years, we know the staff and they know us, all of them are so kind people. This place really is great, the food is AMAZING and the fact that this place has valet makes it even better read more

Zuppa is by far the loudest restaurant I have ever had the misfortune of experiencing. Granted it was a Saturday evening, and full of large parties, but my small party of six literally had no hope of conversing. I found myself having to yell to communicate with the person seated right next to me! All but one of our party was very happy with his or her food. Four of us had excellent made-on-the-premise pasta dishes. Another had perfectly prepared Bronzino. The dinner who was not happy with his meal had ordered steak, which he found to be tough and overcooked. The service was excellent. The valet parking was a welcomed perk, as spaces on the street are extremely limited. Would I ever return? NO!!! read more

FIVE STARS. This is my first Yelp review; and I had to come on here to do it because I just had to make sure everyone knew how much we loved Zuppa. We had our wedding here in October 2016 and prior to this have eaten here about 3 times for dinner. The service is spectacular; the food is delicious; and the atmosphere is gorgeous. We chose this venue for our wedding of 100 people because of the high ceilings and romantic vibe of the place. Edi did an AMAZING JOB just being there for us and calming our fears. Everyone raved about the food and the service. I wish I could relive the day. Thank you Zuppa; and if anyone has any doubts; go check them out for yourselves, the place is amazing. Whether you're doing an event or just dinner; you won't be disappointed. read more

I've been to this restaurant many times at different times of the day. The food is tasty and creative and service is friendly. I love the overall atmosphere of this place. Perfect for a nice dinner with the husband or friends. read more

Great food. Aldente means aldente. Authentic pasta. Classy service. Highly recommended!

Good but not great food. And the price was way over the top! Trying to get in before you get mugged is the fun part. Please go in groups for safety. And when you leave just hope your car is still there.. On the bright side, there is a large police presence so if you are attacked your family can rest assured the perp will be shot. read more

We moved to Yonkers 2 months ago and finally tried this restaurant on a Friday evening after work. Quiet atmosphere and delicious food. Our waiter was very attentive and knowledgable about the menu. Thank you Zuppa for a delightful evening. We will be back soon. read more

This place is my favorite in yonkers!! The owners are friendly and staff is kind and friendly. The food is AMAZING!!!! Try the burger and the cob salad. Just try everything its that good. Well priced also. read more

I've been here at least 15 times for both lunch and dinner and every meal has been excellent. They have many interesting takes on Italian dishes, great desserts, and their pizza is delicious too. The service has always been attentive and the ambiance attractive. If driving, I recommend parking in the Buena Vista garage diagonally across the street. read more

I always enjoy my Food at zuppa, The food is always amazing , fresh and consistently delicious .The homemade pastas are a standout and a must try. The squid ink pasta with seafood and the Nutella ribs are some of my personal favorites. The ambiance is beautiful and theres Elegant service to match. The cocktails are very refreshing as well. They also have a very nice wine list - great choices and reasonable prices. read more
