Lombardo's, the beloved Italian-American restaurant with its roots in Westchester, has expanded its culinary empire with a third location in Scarsdale. This latest addition, nestled in the Midway Shopping Center, is a testament to the family's commitment to consistency and growth.
The Lombardo Legacy
At the heart of Lombardo's success is a simple yet powerful mantra: consistency. Co-owner Alberto Sivo, along with his father-in-law Mario and brothers-in-law Mario Jr. and Peter, has ensured that regardless of which Lombardo's you visit, the experience remains unchanged. From the chef to the menu, every element is meticulously replicated across their three establishments.
"Our main goal is consistency," Sivo emphasized. "It doesn't matter which location you choose; you'll always enjoy the same delicious food."
A New Chapter in Scarsdale
The decision to expand into Scarsdale was strategic. Sivo believes in the town's potential, citing its familiarity with the brand and the bustling nature of the shopping center. The new restaurant, with its modern ambiance and a color scheme of green, blue, and brown, offers a fresh take on the traditional pizza joint.
"Scarsdale is a perfect fit for our expansion plans," Sivo explained. "We wanted to bring our unique dining experience to a wider audience, and what better place than a busy shopping center?"
A Menu for All Tastes
Lombardo's menu is a celebration of Italian-American cuisine, with a focus on quality ingredients. The star of the show is, of course, pizza, with six ovens dedicated to crafting 18-inch Neapolitan and Sicilian pies and 12-inch personal pizzettes. But the menu extends far beyond pizza, offering a range of appetizers, salads, paninis, pasta, heroes, and entrees to cater to diverse palates.
"We want to create a dining experience that appeals to everyone," Sivo shared. "Whether you're a family, a couple on a date, or a solo diner, we have something special for you."
A Family Affair
The family resemblance extends beyond the menu to the restaurant's design. Spacious and modern, Lombardo's Scarsdale location is designed to accommodate various dining preferences, from large family gatherings to intimate date nights. The 12-seat bar, situated in the back, adds a touch of sophistication for those seeking a more relaxed atmosphere.
"Lombardo's is a family business, and we want our restaurants to feel like an extension of that warmth and hospitality," Sivo added.
A Commitment to Quality
At the core of Lombardo's success is a dedication to using the finest ingredients. From homemade mozzarella to locally grown vegetables, every dish is crafted with care and attention to detail. This commitment to quality ensures that each bite is a true representation of Italian-American cuisine.
"We believe that great food starts with great ingredients," Sivo said. "That's why we source our products carefully and prepare everything with love and precision."
A Bright Future
With its third location now open, Lombardo's continues to solidify its place as a beloved Westchester institution. The family's dedication to consistency and quality ensures that Lombardo's will remain a go-to destination for those seeking a taste of Italy in the heart of Westchester.
"We're excited about the future," Sivo concluded. "With each new location, we get to share our passion for Italian-American cuisine with even more people. It's a privilege and an honor."
So, if you're in the mood for a delicious meal and a taste of the Lombardo's experience, be sure to visit their new Scarsdale location. It's a culinary adventure you won't soon forget!
