We have been eating here every Wednesday night for 8 years. Food is fresh, super tasty and there are many options. Service is sensational. One server in particular, Javier, is just wonderful. He attends to every need, remembers what you drank the week before, is congenial and attentive without being cloying and answers any questions you may have about the menu. A gem! Maitre d’ David is equally charming, polite and knowledgeable. Sous Chef Mike has learned from Frantangelo and adds his own culinary spins from to time which we are delighted to consume. It is a true plus to have such a high ended eatery right in our backyard. Go!!

Although food was tasty and the service was very good, we were slightly disappointed in the menu choices. For our tastes, thought there should have been more variety in the entree selection. Had a hard time choosing one.

First time visiting based on a recommendation from a friend. Staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious! Sauces were very flavorful without excessive salt. Everything tasted fresh, from the pasta to the seafood. The sauces really stole the show-even the simple marinara sauce was bright and delicious. Dessert was also delicious (bread pudding). Price reflects the quality of the ingredients and preparation, running about $60 per person before tip. Two drinks, one appetizer, one main each. Two shared desserts for 3 people. Will definitely return!

Food was excellent- maybe among the best meals in Westchester, served timely by polite staff. If I have any complaints- it would be to have a little more engagement from the staff-- discussing the menu, drinks, asking about us....more personal attention...might be the restaurants style -- maybe focused more on the food. overall a great restaurant.

We always have a great meal at this lovely Italian restaurant with amazing specials and interesting twists on classic dishes. This past Saturday we tried the branzino entree which was terrific and we loved the tuna tartare appetizer. It has a very cozy atmosphere and a great selection of wines . You will always feel welcome and are certain to have a great experience.

This was our first time dining here and we were so happy we decided to dine out at L’inizio! We enjoyed a Prix Fixe 3-course meal which was delicious and well prepared. My wife commented that it felt like we’re dining in NYC and I couldn’t agree more.
