The Best Places to Eat in New Rochelle, by the Record
The best places to eat in New Rochelle, by the professional record: USA Today and Michelin Guide have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Pizzeria La Rosa comes out on top.
-
Rank 1. Pizzeria La Rosa
NY-Style Pizza Cocktail Bar
-
Rank 2. Dubrovnik
Mediterranean Wine Bar
The custom woodwork lining Dubrovnik's dining room was built next door, in the owner's cabinetry shop, and it shows. This Mediterranean wine bar on a commercial stretch of New Rochelle draws a loyal crowd for dishes off the wood-burning oven and grill, and on certain nights, live Croatian music fills the room. The Michelin Guide has taken notice. Bring someone who enjoys lingering.

Rank 2. Maria Restaurant
Italian
Midnight-blue leather banquettes and exposed brick set the tone at this New Rochelle Italian restaurant, where the long bar fills early with regulars who seem to know everyone. The kitchen splits its attention between old-school classics and something a little more current, and Mom's meatballs in marinara with a scoop of ricotta make a convincing case for the old school. Chatty and unpretentious, the kind of place that makes New York's suburbs feel worth the commute.
