"We live close by, so we go to Abruzzi often because we enjoy the cozy, rustic atmosphere of this neighborhood gem. The service is friendly and warm without being intrusive. You are given a warm basket of bread and flavored olive oil to start which is very satisfying. One of our favorite appetizers is the Calamari with Hot Sliced Cherry Peppers. We also enjoy the Eggplant Parmesan, Chicken Parmesan and the Tilapia in a Lemon Butter Sauce. Great food, generous portions and a nice place to stop if your passing through Patterson, NY on Route 22 from a day a skiing."
