Basso by PXK

Basso by PXK in Chappaqua was a fantastic find. We went twice, and each visit the food was consistently delicious with a wide range of great options. The chef Peter Kelly was really friendly and even stopped by to greet us, and the service and atmosphere were excellent. Definitely recommend!

I have been here 3 times. The first two visits were good! The food was really delicious. I am giving it fewer starts based on the most recent (and last) visit. We made a reservation over a month out. We were hosting out of town friends and were looking forward to eating here. When we arrived, we were told our table was not ready, nor could they tell us when it would be. The place was packed and we waited outside. We checked back in every 15 mins. For AN HOUR. It was the living episode of Seinfeld — you can take the reservation but can you HOLD the reservation? The whole experience was disappointing and unprofessional on so many levels. Needless to say, we left an hour later as no sign of the table being available was happening. Drove 20 mins to another place and had immediate seating and lovely service —a palette cleanser after such a poor experience at basso.

Unfortunately, I had high expectations for this restaurant. My wife had previously eaten there and enjoyed her meal a lot. She took me there, and unfortunately, both of us thought that the meal was very subpar. We shared Caesar salad, a pasta with eggplant and ricotta, and the steak Florentine. The salad was so so, the pasta was actually pretty good, but the steak was really not very tasty and overcooked. For dessert, we have the chocolate torte and vanilla ice cream, but the menu neglected to say that it had walnuts, which neither of us like, and would not have ordered it had been accurately represented. The service happened to be excellent however. Considering the service, I maybe would’ve rated this a three, but the food was so disappointing, it really doesn’t deserve it.

Peter Kelly ha another wonderful restaurant, this one, located in downtown Chappaqua. The menu, kitchen, and service are all excellent. We enjoyed a delicious dinner with professional and helpful service. The veal chop was spectacular! I highly recommend this fabulous restaurant.

Just went for dinner - very professional service especially for a crowded Saturday night. Atmosphere was perfect for conversation and a leisurely meal.

Standout dishes- short ribs with broccoli rabe, black squid ink pasta with tender assorted seafood, tiramisu cake, baked clams.

The menu is pretty standard Italian fare. In order to get that 5th star it needs a little more Chef Peter Kelly magic. I will return- this restaurant is recommended.
