B's grandparents just moved into an 'independent living' place over this way... B and I like eating there because it can get chaotic eating out with his grandma and it's also good haha but his grandpa is itching to go out so anyone have an Italian restaurant rec? Yes just Italian they love their pasta! Thanks

It's not in that are but La Triestina in Congers in Rockland is amazing food. DH and I love it so much. Yes our wedding was there but the food is awesome. I'm a pasta snob so if I eat it, it must be good lol.

Also, Spiga on Central Ave in Scarsdale.

Haha thanks for all the recs they will come in handy.  His grandfather was off to make sure he didn't want any of the specials they were offering tonight before we decide if we are going out definitely but we will in the future so we will be going to these places.

JSweetie - I keep meaning to go to La Triestina based on your rave reviews!!! I will have to check it out asap.

Thanks Nic!! It looks like we will prob go next Weds. I told B and he was like are you sure you want someone who knows someone you know waiting on you! Hahah his gma has bad alzheimers and while we try to handle ordering for her it does get a bit crazy. Sooo you can warn him if he's there!

I'm pretty sure the place you're talking about is the new assisted living complex that just opened up around the corner from me.

another good one to add to the list is Spacarelli's in Millwood.  It is just fantastic

More causal but very, very good is a newer place that just opened up in croton (very close to the assisted living place) is TK Casquarelli.  it's right next door to shop rite in croton.  DH and I went there a couple weeks ago and it was amazing.

Thanks for the additional recs Jen, they love their Italian so I'm sure we will be trying all these places

hey i think B's gramps might be my neighbor   i live close to that new place.  anyhoo, i honestly think all the italian places up here (well locally anyway) are just so so.  i know, i know, not what you want to hear.  that said my dh is italian so we still get it some time.  so two more places very close- Orfinos in Briarcliff Manor.  and it's under new owners, but it's called Capri in the Arcadian strip mall in Ossining.  it's kinda pizzeria-y but they have (or at least used to have) authentic italian things there- dont know how italian they like it- but they seriously serve tripe (and the like).  my dh loves it.  me, ewwwwww.

So if you actually don't wanna do Italian, I highly recommend Sweet Grass Grill on Main Street in Tarrytown. 

Another Italian rec, pricey, but sooooo worth it, is Scaramellas on the Dobbs Ferry/Ardsley border.  LOVE that place.
