Burrata Wood Fired Pizza

Fate led us to Burrata and happy we are that she did! A friend and I were on the way home to Connecticut from competing at the Westminster dog show in NYC. Neither of us had taken the Hutch out of the city before so we decided to try it. Don't know what it was but it became a parking lot at one point. We decided to get off at the New Rochelle exit and look for a place to get a bite to eat and let the traffic ease up. (Must have been a major traffic event - lighted police cars blocking several access roads in town). We were tired, the weather had been miserable in the city, we should have been home in time to watch friends in the Group competition on TV and it had already started.

Siri suggested an assortment of restaurants, we chose Burrata because it was the closest. What a find! We parked in a lot around the corner and went in. The inside was small and pleasant enough, we got a table near the window. A mix of adult-only and family parties. We looked at the menu and were blown away. Clearly it was going to take a while to choose - everything looked delicious - so we ordered a glass of wine! The pinot noir was perfect for my tastes and my friend loved her pinot grigio. We decided on two appetizers - the burrata for her, and the roasted carrots on whipped ricotta for me. After the first bites, the misery of the trip faded away. The toasted bread for the burrata was fragrant with a hint of rubbed garlic and a very delicious olive oil. I could have eaten the carrots as a larger dinner entree, and it was so good I sacrificed a small amount to take home for the DH to try. For dinner we had the gnocchetti with lamb bolognese and the prosciutto pizza with smoked mozzarella, balsamic red onions,arugula, and pecorino. We kept laughing with delight that we had found such a wonderful meal at such a random,unplanned stop. After saving a small taste of my gnocchetti for the DH, we ordered the Zeppole for dessert. Sorry honey, nothing left of that! Our waiter was charming and informative and the food arrived in good time. Our only regret is that we don't live closer!

If I were being picky, I would ding a quarter of a star for the following: (1) Would have liked the centers of the pizza crust a tad crisper. It didn't keep us from eating every bite though. (2) We asked to have separate checks but were told they couldn't do it. Please don't ask two women traveling together to whip out our phones to divide the bill. It's not pretty. Plus, I tend to tip higher if a restaurant will provide that courtesy. Luckily it was about an even split and we're good friends. (3) No American coffee service. Okay, we lived through it and had expresso. Such minor things, didn't affect the enjoyment of the meal at all.

Happy and rested, we headed to our car parked in the lot just around the corner, Buzzkill! A $25 parking ticket. Yes, there were meters, but it was dark and no visible instructions about them (looked like someone had hammered stuff off of them), and we made the mistake of thinking that, as in our neck of the woods (Hartford area), nights and weekends were free. Lesson learned! Feed the meter, then feed yourselves at Burrata. Cheers!

I'm living in NY for 1 years, that's the first pizza here that I really LOVED! Perfect flavor, service, price totally fair! I can't wait to have my family and friend from my country here and bring they to this place!

This is my second time in Burrata restaurant. The last time here the food was bad, I wanted to give the restaurant a second chance so I came back. The food is garbage. As I was sitting at the bar having a drink a lady next to me mentioned she is a frequent customer. I asked her what she thought of the food and she replied many times it was terrible and had no taste. (Why she comes back I do not know)

I wanted to like this place but in all honesty it is really bad. I think we are subject to so much genetically modified food that we as a nation forgot that twenty years back food actually had flavor. I miss Park Place Restaurant in Eastchester. That was good food. Dear Owner, you need to rethink the salads, the dressings, the greasy calamari and quality of the food. This was just store bought
( Walmart) food. Nothing organic and without taste. If you are going to charge like a Manhattan restaurant make it the best food available and get a top chef.

Great service, especially the take out lady. And flavorful food. My gripe is the pizza size is too small for the price. I know it's brick oven and all that, but it's too thin and airy. And the cheese and toppings don't go far enough to the edge of the pie.

Nice warm welcoming entrance from the door to the table, good environment, may be warmer near the oven, comfortable spacing between other people, bar and bathroom looks and sounds quaint and experienced, food superb; I had shared a variety of dishes with my family: never once displeased or put off with anything between lighting(young eyes), selection(menu easy to read and well spread) , temperature(always a burning plate; I love that), amount(very proportionate and appropriate to taste), taste(Im not a soup person but omg I couldn't get enough, also my hair and pasta dish was very good) , or speed of delivery(but I don't really care because it takes time to make a real good quality dish), noise is to a enjoyable minimum with the walls and ceilings covered, but not distracting, with sound buffers; good for business meetings, Italy inspired food is one of my favorites along with spicy food and Chinese, this restaurant is one of my new favorites, and I would recommend it for lunch, linner, or dinner with family, date, outing, friends, business, or celebration. Now dessert, complementing the dinner I had, it was very rich(I like that) though the menu included other lighter treats(if your into that type of thing), coffee was Illy and I enjoyed it, I tasted a latte and like it too(better black or with one sugar but dont spoil it with splenda), between four people the bill came to under $120 but well worth it, drop off before parking recommended as parking is a bit sparse and not part of the restaurant but not an issue for the mildly athletic.
