Zero Otto Nove — Restaurant in Town of North Castle

We have been patrons of Zero Otto Nove since they opened. We have generally had a fine experience with the dishes, which are typical of most Italian restaurants in the Westchester area (i.e., American Italian food as opposed to the cuisine of Bologna, and other regions of northern Italy). The atmosphere is nice given the rustic building design, but the tables are a bit too close to each other. The service is generally attentive, though a bit too aggressive in refilling your water. On this occasion, we decided to share a 50 ounce tomahawk rib eye steak for $138 (menu price), although the bill stated $139. The steak took over half an hour to arrive following a salad that we shared. To our surprise and great disappointment, the steak was far less than 50 ounces (i.e., 3.125 lbs), perhaps 28 ounces at most (including the bone, which was 13 ounces weighed at home). Also, the steak was cooked medium while we requested medium-rare but on the rare side. Not wanting to make a scene and not really being able to "prove" on the spot that the steak was far less than 50 ounces, the three of us only had 2 1/2 small slices each. For this reason, they get 1 star for the food and we will no longer be going back or referring the...

Went here for the first time last night, and wow! The food is simply amazing and the service was really good. We were greeted and seated promptly, and brought water and menus. Our waiter and the other servers were warm and helpful. We enjoyed cocktails from the ample bar... I had a delicious bourbon cocktail, their own creation. We shared a perfectly dressed arugula salad, with a basket of excellent breads. Our entrees were from the regular menu, not the specials, which were also very tempting. My halibut with clams and mussels in a light sauce was so delicious... I joking requested the chef's recipe for the sauce, but to no avail. My husband declared his zuppa di pesce to be the best he's ever eaten! Portions are generous so we brought some home. For dessert we shared the pasteria, which is a wonderful Italian-cheesecake-type pastry,, thin ricotta cheese cake with dried fruit on a thin flaky crust. Incredibly delicious. Again, the service was friendly and attentive... water glasses kept full, waiter checking in to see if we wanted anything, nicely but not intrusively. We can't wait for...

When I heard they specialized in brick oven pizza I was not so excited BUT once I tasted their version omg it was amazing!!!! it had a butternut squash puree and mushrooms and god knows what else but it was outstanding. you could taste the amazing olive oil and you could really tasted the freshness and quality of the ingredients. the cheese was melted to perfection - not rubbery or greasy but soft and mild. The oso busco was delectable! Two of us had a simple broiled fish with a light lemon butter and both cleaned their plates completely. I had a fettuccine Alfredo-type of pasta which was quite good, although I prefer it heavier more cheesy. But if you like it a little lighter you will love this! the pasta was cooked just right. Service was fair, we couldn't hear or understand the waiter, although he was trying! It was crowded and space a little tight and noisy but I will return!!!

Very trendy and modern setting. Creative and delicious menu. Always enjoy the specials...
