About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Neighborhood gem
What is Lavagna? In Italian, it means "blackboard". That's where we put our menu, and specials change with the seasons. Look around too... the walls are also blackboards, decorated with artwork by Mike Delaney of Nyack.

After-work drinks, a date night, or a friend meetup all have their home at Lavagna. Our quiet, intimate setting is perfect for conversation and relaxation.

Pull up a barstool and have a glass of wine from our extensive vault. Our wine cellar is world class with over 125 labels available by the bottle and 25 by the glass. Please ask about our full roster of Italian craft beers that will surprise you with their complexity and depth of flavor.

We will pair your beverage with exquisite dishes, salumeria boards with meats and cheeses or a full caviar tasting for a special occasion. We also offer Roman-style flatbread pizzas and other small plates such as pastas, seafood, and Mediterranean specialties.

    The food was absolutely delicious especially the truffle mushroom pizza, which was out of this world! The salad and branzino were also amazing. My friends and I truly enjoyed our experience here. The service was fantastic, and I highly recommend this restaurant!

    This is the sixth time we’ve been to Lavagna. The food is delicious and the appetizers are fun! The only wish I have is that there was another entree choice other than roasted cauliflower as a vegan option on the menu!

The staff were very friendly and very attentive throughout our dinner and the overall quality was outstanding. I loved every moment of my visit and can't wait to return. Keep up the fantastic work! Thank you, Sidinea Springer

    Lloyd and his staff consisitently exceed expctations for hospitality! The menu is great but small and reasonably priced. But they have a select few specials every day that are exceptional. Great wine list reasonably priced along with special som selections.

    The fresh-made pasta is absolutely fantastic, bursting with flavor and texture that elevates every bite. While the wine selection is excellent and the bar scene lively, the food variety could use a little more depth to match the overall experience.

    First time here. Service started a bit slow but got better once things got moving. Food was very good overall. Signature dessert was great. Really like the meatballs and pizza too.
