Spadaro's Restaurant ***

Spadaro's is located 211 Main Street in New Rochelle N.Y. The restaurant is small with only about 10 tables and fills up quick so I suggest reservations. Our first visit was about 5 months ago with a follow up a couple of weeks ago. The first time we came, we asked the waitress for suggestions and we were told we had to try the anti-pasta. A great suggestion. They brought 2-3 small plates at a time until there was no room left on our table.The anti pasta consisted of a fantastic array fresh and homemade ingredients and included fresh mozzarella,fresh asparagus,mussels,toasted and seasoned italian bread and much more.There are no menus but still a wide variety that your waiter will assist you with.They even serve half orders of pasta.We shared 2 different pastas that definitely tasted like authentic Italian dishes.The atmosphere and service was friendly and the dress casual.The only thing it seems this restaurant lacks is consistency which is unfortunate.On our follow up visit the service was nothing like our original visit and the food came out a little cold and not as tasty as the first time.The lack of taste was probably contributed by the plates not being served at the right temperature.Based on the first visit i would have given it 4 stars.I had to give it 3 stars because of the inconsistency.

Leno's Clam Bar ( Greasy Nick's) **

"Leno's Clam Bar" is Located in New Rochelle. Originally owned by Jay Leno's Uncle Nick who was rumored to be a very "sloppy guy" people began to give him the nickname "Greasy Nick." Nick's little snack bar became quite famous amongst Westchester residents who still to this day call the Restaurant "Greasy Nicks's." "Leno's Clam Bar" has mostly outside seating and is more like a Beach Snack Bar then a restaurant . The burgers are what made them famous. They are Greasy burgers on a deli roll with fried onions. Residents who frequent "Greasy Nick's" are usually there for a burger or corn on the cob that is served drowned in butter. I enjoy eating at "Leno's Clam Bar" on a nice breezy spring day when I can sit outside and enjoy a Greasy Burger. "Leno's Clam Bar" is a snack bar and although famed and frequented it is nothing special for that reason I am giving them 2 Stars **

The Waterfront (New Rochelle)***



"The Waterfront" in New Rochelle is a Pub/Restaurant with mostly seafood and fried goodies. They have a great French onion soup and the atmosphere is a little noisy and dark. Everyone that I go there with loves it, but they agree on the following...If you need your Waiter/Waitress in a hurry you are out of luck they usually can not be found or they are at the Bar chatting with customers(very unprofessional in my opinion.). The food in my opinion is too greasy and usually leaves me with a stomach ache. "The Waterfront" gets 3 Stars*** from me.
