147 Main St, Dobbs Ferry; 914.693.6259 ext. 2
“I have a real passion for wine,” owner Frank Donato told Westchester Magazine in January 2023, and this warm, brick-walled spot proves his point. It offers an approachable wine list of Prosecco, Super Tuscans, and California red blends, as well as beer and cocktails. The kitchen turns out unfussy crowd-pleasers like cheese and charcuterie boards, mussels, shishito peppers, and the pizzas that made Donato’s neighboring restaurant, Brick Oven Pizza, a Dobbs Ferry mainstay
