Best Italian Restaurants in Riverdale

First time here. Was surprised his busy it was since whenever I drive by, it doesn't seem busy. Had a little wait even though we had reservations. Waited in the bar area and the bartender came to us to see if we wanted a drink. That was very good. Menu has enough choices. Service was great. Food excellent. Hot, cooked to perfection and a decent portion. Prices are what you would expect from a fine dining restaurant but not overpriced. Definitely will be back

Continues to be my favorite restaurant, bar none. Starting with a consistent warm welcome that makes you feel at home to excellent martinis and wine list that leads to a menu with something for everyone from pasta to seafood, chicken and steaks. I encourage trying the daily specials which offer seasonal appetizers and entrees (many offered as appetizers as well. Florida Rock shrimp risotto and eggplant rolotini both great last night! Attentive staff without hovering. Excellent all around.

The food was amazing. The antipasto board that was presented was phenomenal. Our server was excellent, and the music by Josh was awesome. It was a very pleasant night for some guests experiencing it for the first time. Everyone had a wonderful evening.

We had an exceptional experience at Felina tonight! Our last-minute decision to dine there turned out to be the perfect choice. My dad, who was visiting, came along and immediately noticed the outstanding service—the manager was truly dedicated, checking in with every table to ensure guests were enjoying their meals and feeling taken care of. He personally stopped by our table multiple times, which added a special touch to the evening. The ambiance is both chic and welcoming, striking the perfect balance between trendy and comfortable. The service was prompt and friendly, making us feel right at home. As always, the food was absolutely delicious—each dish was crafted with care, and the flavors were top-notch. We also thoroughly enjoyed the live music, which added a wonderful vibe to the night. Living in Ridgewood, we’re lucky to have such a gem in town. Felina has consistently been one of our go-to spots because it’s a place that never disappoints, whether we’re craving great food, impeccable service, or just a night out in a lively atmosphere. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

The meal was excellent. We started with Mediterranean Mezedes. Entrees of Beef Gyro and Combo Souvlaki platters were plentiful. We took home the Baklava cheesecake dessert. The dining room upstairs was cozy with the fireplace going. All was good until the band started playing downstairs. Then it was too noisy. I didn't need to hear "Shake your Boodie" while I was eating dinner on Valentine's Day.
