Another very good experience at Zucca. Chicken Milanese was really scrumptious (I asked that it not be over-baked). Wife liked her calamari. Lemon cheese cake yummy. Prix fixe is great value. Service very very good.

This was our first dinner experienced here and we thought it was wonderful! We came for a date night, menu options were great, food was great, and service had to be one the of best experiences I’ve had. Thank you to our server Jimmy, made our reservation so well taken care of and even helped with the delicious meal selections! Will be back again!

We had lovely dinner on their porch in a coolish fall evening. The heaters were on and the see thru shades down to enclose the porch and protect it from the weather. It was manageable. Food and service great!

We celebrated a belated anniversary dinner at Chef Luis with friends who are foodies, and the evening could not have been more delightful. Our friends were genuinely impressed — the dishes, the cocktails, and the entire atmosphere won them over completely, and they said without hesitation that they’ll be returning. Chef Luis himself stopped by our table, adding a personal touch that made us feel especially welcome. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish.

We eat here several times a year and it is consistently good. It was a busy Saturday night, so service was a bit slower than usual, but the food and atmosphere were outstanding as usual. It is a beautiful, welcoming place with excellent food and friendly service. After we were seated, they brought bread and bruschetta. Both were delicious, especially with the olive oil and vinegar at the table. We tried the special appetizer of broccoli and cheese soup and one of the special entrees--a pork ossobuco. Both were delicious! The desserts we wanted were sold out- it was very busy- so we didn't have dessert. I'm sure it was good since everything else we tried was tasty. We will definitely be back!

Every single thing about this restaurant is FANTASTIC! The food, the ambience, the service etc! They made us feel like regulars! They had their eyes on every patron while still allowing us to dine in privacy. They should be packed every night!

The property is beautiful with sweeping views of the Hudson. The food was amazing and the staff was super friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be coming back and so happy that we chose this restaurant for our daughter‘s birthday dinner.. The Beef bourguignon was stellar! My husband loved his burger and the muscles were in the most delicious broth served with excellent shoestring french fries in a cone (which I loved)….. My only gripe is that they did not serve any crusty bread which would have been so good with the broth. Atmosphere is very important to me and I love having a view. This place had it all!
