Bellacosa Wine & Tapas Bar — Restaurant in Town of Greenburgh

This little gem IMO is the best restaurant in Dobbs Ferry. From the intimate, warm atmosphere—to the delicious and I mean delicious food -to the service this place is the real deal. The owner, Frank is a super nice guy who goes out of his way to make you feel welcome and at “home.” The setting is intimate with approx 10-12 tables and seating at the bar. There are small plates, daily food specials, main courses, sides and desserts as well as happy hour drink specials, I’ve been a few times and planning to return soon. Everything I’ve ordered has been fantastic. The cheese board is delicious-a perfect selection of cheese- fruit and jam. My favorites so far include the mussels, eggplant “‘Meatballs”, Frank’s angry chicken, and the broccoli rabe. My boyfriend loves chicken parm and rated it as one of his top 3 of all time and #1 in all of Westchester! I love the quaint atmosphere, the decor, and the feeling like you are at home. I grew up in Dobbs, lived in NYC for 20 yrs and am back in Dobbs for a short stint. I definitely am picky and have high standards when it comes to food. I cannot say enough amazing things about Bellacosa, the food and Frank...

The vibes: immaculate. The food: delectable. The wines: mouthwatering. The cocktails: fiendishly good. The service: warm like family. Bellacosa is a treasure and a gem with full marks across the board. Go with a big group and taste all the tapas, get the cheese board, share bottle of excellent wine, and split as many of the taste desserts as you can. Go with a friend you need to catch up with and talk and talk while you eat a handful of tapas and sip wine by the glass (by the bottle or the glass, the wine selection is distinctly superb). Go on a date for a romantic evening of staring into each other’s eyes while gentle jazz or funky beats plays not too loud and not too soft. Every aspect of the menu, the cocktails, the wines, and the space itself is crafted with thoughtfulness and intentionality. These are people who want to provide an elite level of service and they DELIVER. Go at any point of the year for a...

There are not enough superlatives to describe the greatness of this dining experience. For starters, it was a wonderful ambience, with a small jazz band playing music while we dined. The cozy seating gave the feel of a NYC restaurant. The food was exquisite. We started with the rice balls and the straciatella soup. Both were tasty, fresh, and prepared perfectly. I had the veal milanese with a side of pasta for my main course. Portion was huge, was tender, and was delicious. Additionally, my pinot grigio was very good. Service was super friendly and attentive. I love this type of wine bar restaurant. What's particularly impressive is that you have the choice of a traditional 3 course meal, or you can choose tapas. Although family friendly, it really is a more mature dining experience. ...
