The Cookery was founded by Chef David DiBari. Comfortably located in Dobbs Ferry, one of Westchester’s quaintest and most beautiful river towns, The Cookery has embraced the positive energy exchanged from its local patrons and uses it to fuel the quest for great food and ceaseless creativity. The neo-nostalgic Italian menu proves evident of Chef DiBari’s style of cooking, which is to progressively approach simplicity.

    Delicious as always! The branzino en croute entree was so flavorful. The octopus appetizer was also perfect. Service was top tier. Love this place.

    Wonderful overall experience. Chef DiBari is so innovative. There's something special about every dish on the menu. We had the Osso Bucco and it just melted off the bone. Great selection of appetizers and desserts as well.

    It appears to be your average gastropub that is in many of these small towns along the Hudson. Which in a way it is. Except for the food. The food is better than many 5 star restaurants anyway in NY.

    This was the first time having pistachio flavored pasta (rigatoni in my case) and I was awesome. It was cooked with fennel and was absolutely delicious. My wife had the duck liver cannolli and she loved it as well. The service was excellent and attentive. Could not have had a better dining experience close to home!

    Food was good, smaller portions but not small enough i had to order extra food. Also it was good, but I don’t believe the price was worth the value.

    Love this place! Meatballs are so good I could just have that as my dinner. The pork is amazing and great wine selections! They usually have a fish offering that is always delicious.
