Dinardo's Italiano - POUND RIDGE

The food (roast chicken, spaghetti, rigatoni, veal, and sides) was ordinary, the gluten-free pasta overcooked and soggy. Worse, the owner was rude, rigid and belligerent. We were a party of 9 in their so-called formal dining room, a few feet away from their casual dining room. My grandson ordered a gluten-free pizza from the other room, but we were told that they don 't serve their pizzas in the formal dining room, even though the pizzas are on their online menu along with all their other options. We asked why not but she insisted that was their policy and they haven 't changed their policy in over 40 years. When we asked if she would make an exception since my grandson and his father can only eat gluten free she told us that we could all move to the other room but she wouldn 't serve pizza in her formal dining room. Our large party had already been seated and were about to order, and there were no other customers in the room. She refused to let the waiter walk the five extra feet into the formal dining room, so my grandson sat through dinner without food while we all ate. She said we could order his pizza, have it boxed up, and take it home, but he couldn 't eat it in the dining room. And we could leave if we didn 't like her rules. We found her rigidity and rude behavior outrageous. There is nothing formal about their formal dining room except a tablecloth added to the tables. After we ordered, they also informed us that they didn 't have the gluten-free bread on the menu either. This restaurant is not worth your trip, not for the food or the service. There are many finer restaurants in the area. Two waiters apologized for the owner, but it 's still not worth the bother.

The restaurant was incredibly loud, the service was terrible, and the menu was quite limited. I cannot recommend it. Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Terrible experience! The staff seemed overwhelmed and short-staffed. I also encountered rudeness when I called. I was left on hold for 25 minutes, and when I finally got through, they said they were too busy to assist me.

Fantastic, excellent food, excellent service, and great staff! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
