"A visit to Averna Italian Steakhouse is a must! Our waiter, Bessart, was exceptional. His attentiveness and helpful nature truly elevated our dining experience. He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. The restaurant's atmosphere is as inviting as its menu. Highly recommend for a top-notch dining experience! 😊

Dined here with some friends on a Thursday night. It was much busier than I expected but in a good way. The decor and cleanliness of the place was very appealing. We had the clams, bacon, beef tartare, ribeye steaks, Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, you name it! Everything was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. We ended the night with an amazing espresso martini made by the bartender, Era. The toffee cake was one of the best desserts I’ve ever had. What I loved most about our experience was the attention we received from the owner, Sammy. He makes everyone feel like family, and makes it a point to engage with all of his guests. This is an amazing spot in Rye, NY you can’t miss out on!

This was our first time coming to this establishment and it was a great time had by all. The octopus, calamari and escargot were excellent appetizers to have with our red wine 🍷. Now the porterhouse for two was a terrific choice as our main course along with the garlic mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, steamed spinach and sauteed mushrooms. The Apple tart and the pistachio dessert were on point as well. So if you are going to Rye NY then stop by the Averna Italian Steakhouse for a unique ambiance and experience.

They have amazing lobster raviolis (despite only giving 5-6 raviolis, it’s still worth it). Their chicken parm is amazing (great portions given for this dish). My partner had lamb chop sticks and he loved them as well as the meatballs; I had calamari and it was great.

Top shelf quality Steak, accompanied with a various selection of other entrees should you not be in the mood for it and very good options for sides. Wine list is nicely put together and you can find some very good bottles to choose from. Attentive staff that takes care of you inside a very nice atmosphere. And lastly, an owner that is very passionate about serving his customers like they are at home. I highly recommend Averna Steakhouse.

Such a wonderful dinner at Averna !! Had the porterhouse for two, which was cooked to perfection! Service was excellent. Had dinner at the bar. Era was our bartender and was absolutely awesome. Be sure to have an espresso martini…..Era had an article written about her martini skills!! You won’t be disappointed.

We were very extremely pleased with everything at this restaurant. Initially when I arrived I was getting frustrated with parking but I found spot right away in the back, there is plenty of parking around the restaurant. The service was superb and the food was fantastic. We are definitely going back with friends and family!
