About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
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 food was amazing! We waited at the bar for our table and enjoyed the Crostino and some drinks. Our entrees tasted delicious, and our server, Corinne, was so kind and attentive! We can't wait to go back.

    The Cookery is an excellent place to dine and typically consistent with its delivery of a high quality experience. We have been there multiple times now over the past two years and have been pleased on every occasion. The initial greeting, staff service, and overall cuisine have been outstanding. Ample nearby parking on the street with a lot nearby but you will need to walk a bit. And do realize and don't be a 'grumpy gus' about the fact that its coziness and audio energy means table space can be tight and table conversation challenging during highly trafficked dinner times.

    We went for restaurant week but were told they don't do that on weekends! Apps (meatballs & Crostino) were very good. Entrees were disappointing. Pasta special was a bit undercooked (more than al dente). The Osso Bucco (very popular) was just OK.

    Food was delicious. Unfortunately they ran out of my first and second choices….but that’s a good thing, just my misfortune! Compliments to the Chef. Appetizer was super delicious: Crispy Bacon…yummy yum yum
