The Cookery was founded by Chef David DiBari. Comfortably located in Dobbs Ferry, one of Westchester’s quaintest and most beautiful river towns, The Cookery has embraced the positive energy exchanged from its local patrons and uses it to fuel the quest for great food and ceaseless creativity. The neo-nostalgic Italian menu proves evident of Chef DiBari’s style of cooking, which is to progressively approach simplicity.

We’ve been going to the Cookery since it opened in 2009. We have developed an emotional connection with the restaurant. And the outstanding food isn’t the only reason. Dave DiBari pours his heart ❤️ into every plate that leaves their small kitchen. You can sense the passion with the wait staff and the other diners. We love going there and enjoying the total experience that the Cookery offers.

The restaurant is cute but it is much too loud. The server couldn’t hear us and we couldn’t hear her — and we could hardly hear the two others we were dining with. We would have stayed for coffee and dessert but it was so loud that we just wanted to get out!

Osso bocco was a leg-in-bone set on the plate, difficult to cut. Service was poorly attentive. Fish was delicious.

I ordered the cauliflower ravioli, as I have many times. It was unusually spicy, which I’d never experienced before. The pasta was harder than al dente and took more effort to chew. Flavor was delicious as always. Disappointed tonight’s dish wasn’t as good as it usually is. The server was great. Never have any issues there. Always polite, friendly, and welcoming. The woman at the table across from me was fanning her mouth and drinking multiple glasses of water. I looked at her plate and saw the same dish I had. I asked her if her dish was spicy too, she said “Very.”

Good but not memorable. Mozzarella was excellent. Pasta dishes good but slightly under cooked. Enjoyed the paccheri, not a typical pasta choice! . Dessert was a disappointment- some sort of strange banana bread concoction that didn’t come together. Given the menu, we expected something a bit more elegant. But it’s definitely a local sports bar vibe. Music was annoyingly loud although they graciously lowered the volume when we requested it.
