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.

I ordered the cauliflower ravioli, as I have many times. It was unusually spicy, which I’d never experienced before. The pasta was harder than al dente and took more effort to chew. Flavor was delicious as always. Disappointed tonight’s dish wasn’t as good as it usually is. The server was great. Never have any issues there. Always polite, friendly, and welcoming. The woman at the table across from me was fanning her mouth and drinking multiple glasses of water. I looked at her plate and saw the same dish I had. I asked her if her dish was spicy too, she said “Very.”

Good but not memorable. Mozzarella was excellent. Pasta dishes good but slightly under cooked. Enjoyed the paccheri, not a typical pasta choice! . Dessert was a disappointment- some sort of strange banana bread concoction that didn’t come together. Given the menu, we expected something a bit more elegant. But it’s definitely a local sports bar vibe. Music was annoyingly loud although they graciously lowered the volume when we requested it.

The food was the most delicious and interesting I have had in Dobbs Ferry, the staff welcoming and easygoing. The atmosphere is cozy, but I am not a fan of TVs in any restaurant or even bar, so that is just my issue, I am sure many appreciate it at the bar. The noise level gets louder as the place fills up, but that also seems unavoidable in small restaurants. Maybe quieter music? I would go back in a heartbeat to eat their wonderful food again!
