Everyone knows there’s no shortage of incredible Italian restaurants in Westchester. But what you might not realize is that across the county, there are hidden gems serving dishes that go well beyond the traditional. Forget penne alla vodka, chicken francese or veal Parmesan; at these restaurants you’ll find Italian dishes with a twist, rustic vibes, homey décor and flavor combinations that redefine your idea of Italian.
Piccola Trattoria
41 Cedar St, Dobbs Ferry
Walking down booming Cedar Street, it’s easy to miss this tiny trattoria — its name literally means “small” in Italian — but you would seriously regret it if you knew what was inside. In a quiet, cozy atmosphere with just 10 tables, Chef Sergio Pennachio’s memorable dishes — baked meatballs stuffed with cheese, clams in Barolo wine sauce — blend Northern and Southern Italian cuisine. The presentations are equally unforgettable, with dishes served on white plates adorned with roosters (the symbol of Chianti) or on colorful dinnerware with floral designs.
