Rye​のベストイタリアンレストラン

Excellent inventive food. Nice atmosphere. And large portions

Service, food, and ambience are all top notch at this restaurant. Food is flavorful and expertly prepared. The wines and cocktails are all very good too, often changing by the season. The staff is super accommodating with special requests and always warm, friendly, and professional. The gnocchi and short rib dishes are my absolute favorite here.

As always, the food, the service and the staff were amazing. If you haven’t tried this restaurant, you are missing a truly awesome dining experience.

My husband took me to Averna this week to celebrate my birthday. It was, by far, the best dining experience we've had since we moved to New York last year. The restaurant is upscale, but cozy and we felt at home here. From the greeting to the goodbye, the service was as amazing as the food. The entire staff made us feel like they really wanted to take care of us; the water glasses always full, attentive, but unobtrusive wait staff and bussers and the owner was a great host to everyone. Hubby had a beautiful ribeye and I had a gorgeous filet mignon; both cooked to medium rare perfection. We ordered maple bacon Brussels sprouts (addictively good), lobster mac & cheese ("OMG" good!) and grilled asparagus for the sides we shared. We started off with the light and delicious filet mignon carpaccio for our appetizer and for dessert we had coffee and split a caramel toffee cake. I'm not a big sweets person, but that cake was flipping amazing and the perfect way to end a birthday. I can't wait for our next visit. I've got my eye on the branzino!

Wow is all I can say. This place was amazing!!! Starting as soon as you walk in. The ambience is beautiful. The wait staff was amazing and the food was out of this world. I’m definitely going back!!! Highly recommended.
