After a few days in NY, my wife, Dana met me for a quick trip up the East coast. As opposed to NY, where it seemed that I was on an art tour, we drove through beautiful small towns in New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island, stopping at every place that looked like it had good food, good coffee or good dessert. Along the way, we found several stars.
Columbus Park Trattoria was our last stop last night in White Plains and we had high expectations from the moment we saw it. Fortunately for us and the crowd that never seemed to stop coming in the door, it did not disappoint. I am allergic to seafood, but the CALAMARETTI FRITTI O ALLA GRIGLIA, billed as an appetizer, that Dana had was one of the most amazing dishes we have ever seen and I am told, amazing to eat. My homemade pasta dish – FETTUCCINE AL TARTUFO CON CARCIOFI was also fantastic. I had two very nice italian meals in NYC, but neither could compare to this place.
Despite the place being packed, we were pampered with constant attention by the staff and as the photo that I took shows, the place has wonderful atmosphere.
We so appreciate being worked in. Apparently we were early enough that it worked out, but I would highly recommend reservations. http://www.columbusparktrattoria.com/
