Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Briarcliff Manor

We are big Peter Kelley fans, this new restaurant is excellent! The special cod was great and the veal with mushrooms was exceptional.

Felina in Ridgewood is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, stylish, and inviting. The service is top-notch—friendly, knowledgeable staff who truly care about providing a great dining experience. The food is nothing short of incredible! Every dish is beautifully presented and packed with flavor, using fresh, high-quality ingredients. The cocktails are equally impressive—creative, well-balanced, and delicious. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just enjoying a night out, Felina never disappoints. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Ridgewood! They also gave us a cute card wishing us a Happy Anniversary.

Overall, it was decent, not exceptional. Service was great. Good timing between apps & main course, which is always nice. Calamari was a little tough & no legs (a favorite) Ceasar salad was nice (big) short rib ravioli was bland, sauce was too sweet. Bari (rigatoni with shrimp,mushrooms & spinach was delicious (all loved it) even brought some home. Gnocchi was delicious as well. Good spot, byob. Oh yeah focaccia w/ pesto was fantastic. Worth the experience. And a return visit.

As usual, had a great dinner. Always great food, drinks, and service. Thank you for taking good care of us Alessandro.

The food was excellent the ambiance was great. It was a little loud to have a conversation.
