L'inizio

5 stars to grab your attention. PLEASE be careful when dining here, especially with children. At first, after enjoying what seemed to be a pleasing and gastronomically enjoyable meal, they attempted to stick me with a check that didn't match (or even resemble) our order (big $$ in their favor) and then, to add insult to injury, they charged me $22 for a plain bowl of boiled spaghetti for my 8 year old! I live in Ardsley but I'll never eat here again, too bad for them because I'm a frequent restaurant diner ????. Obviously, to my way of thinking, they're trying to tell me that this is not a kid friendly restaurant. ????

You always hear about restaurants where people claim the food is "great" or even "amazing," but I am usually disappointed. Well, not at L'inizio! The food here was truly awesome. Every appetizer and every entree we ordered was outstanding. Service and ambiance were also top notch. I HIGHLY recommend!!

What a great Italian restaurant! It was refreshing to have a menu that was not typical for the food category. Yes, there were the classics, but a wonderful variety of beautifully executed dishes was also available. The wait staff could not Have been nicer, and the service was excellent. We were there at a popular time, so the volume was a bit loud, but we could still talk with a raised volume. We will definitely return.

An absolute pleasure every time. Seasonal ingredients assembled with great care

One of the best Italian restaurants in the corner, L’inizio proposes very well executed dishes from the appetizers through the desserts with quality ingredients . A good kind of comfort food when you need something familiar yet different. It’s like going to diner at the place of a friend who can cook simple menus like you do at home but somewhat there is something undefinable special. A place where you can eat as a consolation as well as celebration.
