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.

The Cookery delights with "innovative dishes" and "outstanding" service. Known for creative pastas and "the best osso buco," it offers a cozy, "rustic" ambiance. While some find noise levels high, the friendly staff and "excellent atmosphere" keep guests returning. A top choice for "special occasions" and memorable meals.

    The major issue we had with this venue is that they didn’t have everything on the menu available to order. This happened with two main courses we had wanted to order(chicken and The Monte Crisco) and also the special dessert was not available. Seems odd at 230 that there would be any inventory issues. Regarding the time taken from order to our table, drinks arrived super quick as did the starters and dessert. The main course(hamburger and special pasta) took forever. Couldn’t figure that out as the place was not packed at this time.

    Service was extremely slow. We were there for 2.5 hrs for brunch and I was not able to have a second drink because it took too long for them to bring it so I had to cancel it. Terrible, painfully slow service

    We've been to The Cookery quite a few times and have always had a great experience. We can depend on good food, good service and a good friendly vibe. This visit, everything was just as we remembered, however for the first time, as I was trying to eat a bit healthier, I did struggle with what to order. I wish there were a few more cleaner/healthier options on the menu for those of us with a few extra dietary issues, but other than that, we would always recommend and go back!

    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.
