One Rare Italian Steakhouse — Restaurant in Village of Scarsdale

Was surprised to hear another steak house opening in Westchester! I’m a red meat fan and am always up to try a new location. Made a late Thursday night reservation, they were very accommodating and upon arrival, to my surprise this place was still wall to wall with full tables. We were seated, and at first was a little upset with a brief wait between being seated and receiving menus, and having our water glasses filled. I voiced my concerns about the lack of service and it was immediately addressed, and rectified. From that moment on there were no issues with the service. We ordered a variety of appetizers , from tuna tartare which was very fresh, made a little different than what the norm usually is, but good! We then also had the fried calamari, which came with two dipping sauces that were pleasantly different and tasty, calamari was fried to a light brown, with just the perfect crunch to it, but the winning appetizer choice was the wagyu beef sliders , that were cooked to the perfect temperature, and had extremely excellent flavor. The dishes were cleared in a timely fashion, water glasses filled and attentiveness was on point, to my surprise after reading some reviews that had some not so great reviews about this particular part of the service. Which always leads me to believe you should always judge for yourself. For main course we ordered a tomahawk rib eye, a porterhouse for two, accompanied by loaded tater tots which were full of flavor and fried to a perfect golden brown, and sautéed mushrooms. Steaks were prepared to the perfect temperature, and not saturated in butter. Also not over seasoned and were served in a plate of their own juices. The rib eye tomahawk had just the right amount of fat, that gave it is perfect flavor, with perfect texture! Porterhouse was excellent! Gen, the manager sent us a complimentary desert platter, and after dinner drinks as well, which was surprising, because that’s not common for Westchester. Throughout the evening we were approached and checked up on by many different staff members checking in with us to be sure our service and experiences were up to par. This dining experience was very pleasant and gave us that upscale hipster city feel , with a touch of urban swag! Very pleased I have a neighborhood, ‘go to’ ,steak house without having to drive to the city or cross a bridge for a good piece of meat! Keep up the good work and stay consistent. We will...

Went for dinner last night. Wow.... all I have to say is, wow.

It was one of the best steakhouse experiences this little lady had had in a long time. Really great experience from all aspects of dining. From service to food to atmsohere all 5 stars!

Bartenders - definitely professional bartenders with actual mixology skills. Service, very professional and attentive. Atmosphere - beautiful. Dim lighting . Idividual lights on tables to read menu. Classy and modern. Subtle, but it is the perfect touch. Noise level- Acoustics were definitely thought of in the renovation / build of this place. The restaurant was busy last night, but I had zero issue hearing my friend talk to me during dinner, and I couldn't hear too much of what was going on around me. It was very nice.

Drinks:

Old fashioned and a Negroni

Both classic drinks, both made perfectly! It's rare to actually order these originals and them come out well.

Appetizers:

The slab cut bacon, the char was perfect. The smokey flavor is just delicious.

Lobster bisque, pretty good. It's a little heavy on the tomato for my liking, but it's still very tasty. I enjoyed it.

Sides:

Tater tots, I will never get tater tots again from any other place. The smokey bacon and cheese on top of these perfectly made tater tots accompanied our steak perfectly. Big win adding these to your dining experience!

Creamed spinach, tasty but overall nothing too special about it. But we all need our veggies!

The star! (Main Course):

Porterhouse steak, medium rare for 2. I'm a firm believer in not using any steak sauce or to ever disrespect a steak with ketchup. This steak justifies my beliefs all on the first bite. The cook and sear were absolutely perfect. The steak cut like butter. The taste... mind blown. Steak was juicy and just absolutely melted in your mouth. Seasoning perfect. Everything was just perfect.

We wanted to try the desserts, but sadly, we were too full to continue this dining adventure go around. We settled with a coffee with a shot of Baileys. Just a perfect little sweet end to the night.

I will definitely...

An amazing experience with my family. The ambiance was charming, it had that warm, clean and modern look to it. The hosts were so welcoming and professional, made you feel like you were part of the family the minute you walk through that door. The waiters were caring and graceful with everything they brought to you. Starting with the most simple fresh and warm bread variety with unique seasoned butter they start you off with. To the most delicious appetizers such as crisp calamari, mac & cheese (my personal favorite) that wasn’t dry, thank goodness and delicately and flavorful crafted cesar salad. They begin to bring the main courses, we got the steak for 2. Very tender, savory it sizzled until it got to my plate! It hits all your taste buds. At that point, you’re hooked! We get to my main dish, salmon! Now I’ve had salmon pretty much everywhere I’ve been, but this salmon, absolutely juicy! Can salmon even be described as juicy? Came with seasoned scalloped potatoes that hit the spot. My sister ordered shrimp scampi. Aside from how beautiful the plate was prepared, the risotto was creamy and shrimp was succulent. We also ordered the wild mushroom ravioli, that had a robust taste of classic truffle that first hits your tongue. Now it’s time for dessert, the waiter placed a delightful array of selection. We started with the blueberry lemon cheesecake, which had magic each spoonful you had, my entire family fought for that last spoonful. The key lime cheesecake sent your taste buds straight to the Bahamas! We also got freshly scooped gelato, I’ve never had peach flavored gelato but that’s officially my favorite! Don’t think I forgot about the cocktails, my pomegranate martini was absolutely elegant! Just the right amount of alcohol that gets you buzzed with the right amount of flavor of the fruit. You leave with your stomach full and your heart warmed by the amazing people that run and work the place. You will not regret enjoying this restaurant with...
