Sergio's — Restaurant in Town of Pelham

Ever since discovering this gem a few years ago, my husband and I have been regulars, dining at Sergio’s a couple times a month. The expertly prepared, quality, delicious food, fantastic customer service and array of mouth-watering specials that change up frequently enough to keep this neophile happy, draw us back again and again. I’ve sung this restaurant’s praises on previous Yelp reviews. This is my spot. So imagine my surprise when I learned something new last night!

I showed up to dinner not all that hungry. A rookie mistake. The complimentary fresh bread, flat bread, olive oil and charcuterie consisting of savory cheese and dried Italian meat can be a meal onto itself. Then the actual entrees are always generously portioned (making for a wonderful lunch the next day). I know this. Like I said, this is my spot. But I showed up not very hungry. So I figured I would just order an appetizer and a salad for an entrée. I selected the scallops in truffle sauce (which by the way still has me uncurling my toes; the dish was poetry on a plate) and the Insalata di Mare, a seafood salad with scungilli, octopus and shrimp. I was expecting a field of green lettuce with a light sprinkling of assorted seafood. WRONG! What I received was a colossal heaping pile of fresh, delectable morsels gifted from the sea with a light sprinkling of green lettuce. Look at the photo! That was after I ate over a third of my dish, sat back and thought, “Who does this? Who gives you an entire seafood platter from the gods for just $16?! Make it make sense!” and then took the picture. I’ll tell you who, Sergio’s! Which is why I will keep...

(Last visited 1/5/2023.) Hanging out with some family this evening before I take my work trip overseas and we decided to check out Sergio's! I found this place by checking out Yelp in the area. It had consistently good ratings and reviews so we gave it a shot!

Atmosphere/Appearance: This place is not quite "downtown Pelham", but not exactly out in the middle of nowhere either. There isn't a parking lot so you'll have to put your fly ride on the street somewhere. I don't even know if there is a parking structure nearby, but it's New York, we're used to that. Once inside you're warmly greeted by the host who was actually the manager so I thought that was pretty cool. It spoke volumes of the Italian hospitality shown here. Inside is very calm, elegant and upscale. There's nice classical music playing and it's just warm.

Service: Gevo took great care of us and the manager checked in on us a couple of times as well. Service is a priority here and it's done very well.

Food: Excellent. I tried the clams casino, arancini then finished the meal with a delightfully cooked, tender filet and crispy asparagus. My meal here was excellent and my family loves their grilled salmon as well as the veal capriciosa.

Value: It's an Italian sit-down restaurant. It's not out of control expensive, but it's decent. If you know you're coming here it's common sense that you're in for a good time and good dinner. Be prepared to spend.

In conclusion, I really enjoyed myself here and am glad I found it. It'll forever be on my radar for...
