Best italian restaurant in Pound Ridge, New York (NY) 2024

DiNardo's was a pleasant experience for lunch. Me n the rents stopped in for a casual lunch on a recent weekend. The restaurant was rather quiet which was nice, the overall ambiance was inviting. We sat in a well lit sunroom and had a solid menu of offerings to go over. I ordered the orecchiette pasta w/pancetta. My parents ordered seafood dishes. We started w/ wrapped asparagus and all our meals came out fairly promptly fresh made to order. The grilled wrapped asparagus had a great char and the cheese on top was of good quality as the flavor was sharp n pungent. A really great starter for what was to come. My pasta was al dente and had a nice consistency to it. The pancetta was high quality and the broccoli rabe was made right (meaning it wasn't tough n stringy, I hate that). The flavor on the sauce was phenomenal and overall the dish was great cept for one lil nagging issue. It was extremely Salty! I prefer it under salted so I can add to taste but outside of this all the food was delicious. Would def recommend and will be returning. I'll just know to request the salt toned down. 👍 ~Da

Takeout Tuesday in support of the local restaurants during "social distancing." Large pepperoni, mushroom and onion pie was piping hot when picked up. Good crust (could have been 'burnt' more, but I'm weird), all toppings cooked to perfection. The cat stole some pepperoni.... Price reasonable, friendly (if lonely) staff. Give them a try Update: Nothing like wolfing down a couple of slices after a 100 km bike ride, or grabbing a few as a fast (lazy) dinner after 8 pm. Always reliable ~Jim
