**Fantastic Party Venue!**
I recently hosted a party at L’inizio and it was a memorable experience. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, accommodating all our needs with great menu options.
The food? Absolutely delicious! Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the taste and quality.
The venue itself had a cozy atmosphere with the perfect backdrop for our celebration. We had a nice balance of seating with spots to mingle.
A big shoutout to the event owners, who was incredibly helpful in planning and executing our party. They made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable.
I highly recommend L’inizio for any special occasion. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or just want to gather with friends, this place is a gem!
Thank you, Scott for making our event so special! We will definitely be back.

Delicious food, well known for their homemade pasta but the other menu items are also fantastic. Warm atmosphere and friendly service. Beautiful bar area always with great playlist adding to the homey vibe.

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.

Every time I am here I am pleasantly impressed. Half portion pastas are substantial and reasonably priced, everything is fresh, the staff care about the restaurant. It is small, hard to find, and parking is inconvenient. Maybe for the better- if this place were more well known it would be impossible to eat here.

Indoor dining is available! We had a great dinner at L’inizio. We ordered octopus salad, cold plate and chicken liver toast as appetizers. My husband had the curry crispy pork tenderloin with corn salad and it was delicious! I had the homemade squid ink pasta with seafood. Finished the meal with berries tart and house flavored donut with chocolate sauce. Clean dining area and friendly staff.

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.

I came here for my birthday dinner and left full and happy! Everyone was friendly and the food was fantastic! My husband and I had baked clams for an appetizer, I had fettuccine with kale and mushrooms, my husband had the linguini with clams and chorizo and for dessert we had the donuts. Everything was truly amazing!

Food took a little over an hour to come out, which isn’t that bad, but no one was impressed with their entrees, I got rigatoni carbonara, and it was really quite bad, the sauce was very thin, and seemed like it contained no egg yolks, had way too much pepper and it was just sprinkled on the top, only on one side, the pancetta was dry and not crispy, it was a very underwhelming dish.
I will say the liver crostini was extremely good though
