Customer Reviews

★★★★★ 5.0 Maria Medvedeva · Nov 2023

We were absolutely happy with our upscale lunch dinning experience. We had a hard time finding the restaurant at first as it’s located inside an apartment complex (you have to get buzzed inside), but we are sure happy we did. We were able to walk-in and get a table in the beautifully decorated and spacious main dining area for lunch. The service was consistently good by all staff, we were checked on frequently. The food was excellent and very flavorful around the entire table. Portion size was on the large side. We would come here again.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Dominic Brunaccioni · May 2023

A hidden spot for solid food but even better desserts in my opinion. Cocktails are great as well.

★★★★★ 5.0 AJMDF LOCA · Apr 2023

Classic and classy. If you want a bit of elegant, old world "feel" in a serene setting, you've found the right place. This isn't a Happy Hour, rowdy-crowd kind of place. They also have a nice wine, liquor, beer selection.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Alia Aldalli · Dec 2022

Great atmosphere in a grand space beautifully decorated. The food was good altho my husband's linguini was so overcooked it reminded him.of school cafeteria. Service left.much to be desired. The waiter justified his delay in serving us by complaining of having many others to serve. Then he served my wine and splashed it down the glass and onto the table cloth and moved on leaving me to dry out my glass. There was a day menu which included a soup with no attached price. When the bill came the soup was charged separately which we refused to pay and it was taken off our bill. This is not a way to gain customers.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Bascom Talley · Jul 2025

After more than three years away, we found our way to DeCarlo’s now in the Westchester. We were sad the linguini with clams were not on the menu. The Caesar salad was a disappointment. No white anchovies and very over dressed. The Carbonara was not like I remembered. It had wide noodles, peas, prosciutto, and an Alfredo sauce. The pecan crusted trout was delicious.
