Dolphin South Trattoria 39 Wheeler Avenue, Pleasantville, NY 10570

"After only about 2 months since discovering Dolphin South, it is already a staple. What makes a place warrant coming back for more? I could probably list many reasons: friendly staff, incredible food, tasty drinks (shout out espresso martinis)— and dolphin south has those in spades, but I think there’s a “je ne sais quoi” that they have. We have been back more times than we can count (despite many other fine establishments in the area). The decor is great and makes you feel like you’re at a family member’s house. Gio (the owner) has an amazing way of making everyone who walks through the door feel like he has known them for a long time. We just went last night and it was superb— I recommend the Braised Chicken while it’s still on the menu, and any of the fish dishes paired with the broccoli rabe. Last night we also treated ourself to their flourless chocolate cake with ice cream — incredible. Can’t wait to be back, and I’m sure we will very soon :) I’m itching to try their sandwiches at lunch."

"The bomb-dot-com. Incredible service, really excellent comforting Italian food. The folks who own it are great. So welcoming. My new favorite neighborhood haunt.."

"Very very very loud. I had to shout to be heard by my dinner partner. Eventually we ate in "silence". I'd go back if they put in some sound-absorbing panels or something. Few vegan options, but the chef was accomodating and gave us great dishes."

"I really enjoyed this pasta. Nothing too mind-blowing but definitely one of the best restaurants I’ve had in Westchester. The texture of the pasta is amazing. Highly recommend both the meatballs (classic) and the black linguine which had an array of mussels, shrimp, and calamari that were very fresh!"

"This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Pleasantville. Homemade bread, homemade pasta, a delicious vegetarian Fusilli Aum Aum that is to die for, and kind attentive staff all make for a relaxing and delicious outing. We came in the afternoon when the traffic was low and basked in the red flower lined outdoor area for hours, topping off our meal with tiramisu, limoncello, and coffee. Everything was delicious but especially the Aum Aum with its savory eggplant sauce."
