The food and service were both amazing! There were so many things on the menu that we wanted to try as it was our first time there. We started with the gnocchi special as an app, along with the 18 month prosciutto and homemade mozzarella. Both were delicious!! The gnocchi was incredible. We then had a beef special and a mushroom truffle pasta for entrees- both amazing. I couldn’t recommend this place enough! We can’t wait to go back.

Really cozy establishment in the heart of Ardsley!

We ordered the grilled bread with ricotta and honey. It was really good!

The pastas were good but not extraordinary.

L’inizio was a cute, small dining place. Very calm vibe and we loved the hospitality, food was delicious. I would definitely go back. They even made my mom feel special with their dessert for her birthday (delicious Tiramisu). Drinks were good, I had ordered the Spritz. Price is up there but worth it. Overall a great place to eat.

Nice enough place. Nothing fancy, however very nice staff. Accommodating. Service was good. Enough for the good! Now the bad. Well I have to give them credit for dishes that rely on sauces which in each case was really good, I can't say the same for the portions, the overall prepare of the items, nor the over excessive prices! The wine list was mediocre and the bottle of Argentinian wine that we had to settle for because the bottle we were aiming for was out of stock, was drinkable at best. But the bottle was $70. No bread was served, however mediocre crusty bread was given upon request. Nothing special. Just something to mop up the good sauces..
Started with probably the best thing we had; the Meatballs over Polenta. The meatballs themselves were just mediocre and the polenta didn't stand out unto itself. However there were four small balls and plenty of polenta over a very good marinara sauce. Take it as you will. Not good, not terrible🤷🏻‍♂️.
Moved on to a pasta course. Shared a have portion of fresh made, good quality fettuccine with a delicious sauce, but served with the most miniscule tasteless shrimp that one could be served. They don't make him smaller than this! And this was literally one handful of pasta! $20. I would say to get the larger portion at $30 but I have no idea if that's just two handfuls of pasta?! Either way, the shrimp had no bearing on the dish.
Moved on to share the final course which was chicken scarp with chicken sausage served with another delicious sauce. The one piece of small breast on the plate was comical! The sausage had no taste. And it was $38! I would have much rather get a two piece from Kentucky fried Chicken for $7! Not that the sauce would have been better at KFC, but there would have been more satisfaction. Very bland preparation of the items in general over very tasty sauces in every item! What a shame. Finally, ordered the special almond cake with ice cream. All desserts on the menu are $10 however the special was $16. Hardly a hint of almond and hardly a hint of the dessert in its entirety! See attached picture. Cannot recommend this place. Had high expectations going in too😞
