At The Parlor, diners can experience the delicate, wood-fired soul of Neapolitan pizza spun with carefully-sourced, local, and seasonal ingredients. Look for an ever-changing array of classic and innovative pies that simultaneously deliver bold flavors and a clear conscience. Plus, along with pizza, The Parlor offers small plates that touch on the whole spectrum of culinary experience. Look for rustic salads, wood-roasted vegetables, and delicately smoked wings. This is food cooked by chefs who care (mostly because this is what they like to eat themselves). At The Parlor, we offer scissors as an alternative to us cutting your pie, ultimately empowering the diner and creating a playful, efficient way to share with your friends. Alongside a fork and knife, scissors have been the standard in Italy for centuries. Trust us: they work better—plus, you can cut any size slice you like.

• Contemporary French / American • Irvington

Booked 19 times today

Nestled on the waterfront in Irvington, New York, Red Hat on the River is an American modern bistro serving satisfied diners since 2003. There's hardly a seat in the house that does not offer a spectacular view of the Hudson river. Banquettes and a pewter bar accent the space while the walls of this 100-year old renovated factory building are adorned with WPA-era art evoking a feeling of a turn of the century Parisian bistro. Evolving from a humble bistro on main street to a bustling restaurant on the river with a rooftop bar, Red Hat's commitment to providing the very best experience for their guests has always remained the same. Try the classic menu standards of steak frites, moules frites, country terrine, and the Red Hat burger. Seasonal salads, sandwiches, and seafood entrees round out the menu. The bar offerings of creative craft cocktails, local draft beer, and old world style wines complete the experience. Private events range from corporate dinners to weddings.

I've been wanting to eat here for a long time so brought my west coast sister and nephew who were craving NY pizza. Our server was awesome! The front room has a funky, lively vibe. The food was ok. My nephew had the margarita, sis had the lemon pizza and I had the pepperoni version. For someone who ate often at a famed Bushwick establishment, Parlor is only 80% as good by comparison. The crust here is too dense for me. Our salad was great but the calamari order was over-fried and our drinks were poor approximations of an old fashioned. Maybe it was just an off night given other reviews have inspired me to put this on my "must go" list. Still better than most pizza in lower Westchester and the location is iconic Rivertown so I'd say give it a try.
