Things to do in Warwick
I don't order take out pizza very often. I have, however, had sit down dinners here several times. The food is really excellent. The Veal Capricciosa is terrific!! The pizza is great. Never had bad food here. Ii's little bright in the dining room and they have no beer or liquor license (but you can BYOB). But if you want great food at a reasonable cost, go here. Have also had trays of food from them for parties. High quality, authentic tasting, guests always rave.
Great pizza, good sauce and cheese. Garlic knots excellent. Chicken Ceasar salad very good and large portion could feed two, or as appetizer four. Eggplant parm, chicken parm and cheese steaks all very good. This place always seems busy, which is a good sign. You can eat in or take out. Eating in is simple, pizzeria type atmosphere.
From the laid back approach to the easy going ambience, you'll recognize arete, as per Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance when you come to Tuscan for coffee or breakfast or lunch or a simple gathering for family and friends. From the toys for the little ones to the view of Warwick, this is an interesting little place. My family has always enjoyed the scrambled eggs and the french toast and the farm tables. We've always felt comfortable in the dining room that doubles as a sometimes musical venue. The coffee is good. The food is well made. The ambience is relaxed and left bank, as if Paris came to Warwick. Cheers!

We were coming here for some time and then the food changed. Went back recently for a few dinners and once again the food has changed and it is very good again. My wife likes their chicken parm and I really like their meatball parm sandwich's.
We don't know what Frank puts in his no-nonsense, unpretentious pizza, but it's always perfect, surpassing most pizza even in Manhattan (which is saying a lot). Don't come for a sit-down meal; it's just a hole in the wall, with no ambiance other than the friendly family that owns and runs it. But do come for the pizza - you'll be back.

We happened to be near Warwick, NY at a winery so we drove into town with a group of friends and based on a casual recommendation from someone walking in town we went to Fratello. It is pretty standard and casual pizza/Italian fare but well prepared food with generous portions, good service and excellent value.

We are located in the Shoprite Plaza on Route 94 in Warwick.
I've been to Luca a few times now. The pizza is incredibly average. The staff there are just poor. The guys are normally rude or abrupt. One older lady that works there if you get her on a good day you are lucky. Can be very moody. The location is great and not many pizza places in this town. Compared to the others this place would be good. But if you are used to NY city pizza, you will not be happy here.

Trattoria Viviano, Rustic Italian Fare
I will start this review by saying that the food was 'ok', as there was nothing particularly wrong with it, although for the relatively high price (approaching $30 a meal), I would have expected something better. My girlfriend had the 'spaghetti frutti di mare' and I had the 'orechiette with sausage and broccoli rabe'. We also had an $11 appetizer, consisting of three (3) meatballs stuffed with smoked mozzarella (which was, again, 'ok', but not cheap at $11 for three meatballs). We had come here a couple years earlier, and, surprisingly, the waiter actually remembered us. The waiter was pleasant and friendly (the single 'customer service' highlight of the evening, as I will explain, below).The problem arose when we got back the check. For starters, we were overcharged by almost $10 for the 'spaghetti frutti di mare'. I looked at the receipt where they tabulated the cost, and it looked like chicken scratch by someone who clearly has problems doing simple math. The drinks were also on the steep side. While I expect a glass of wine to come in at about $10 at nice restaurants, the four (4) glasses coming in at $44, the two 'Irish coffee' cappuchinos came in at a whopping $14 each, or $28 total. While a 'shot' of Bailey's I would understand would increase the cost, neither I nor my girlfriend expected it to be a total of almost $30 for two otherwise smallish cappuchinos ($28). But even this aspect I was willing to overlook.When we got to our car, my girlfriend and I looked at each other and thought that the receipt was just 'off'. I decided to look online just out of curiosity to see if they have the menu online and the prices. The 'online' menu lists the 'frutti di mare' of the type my girlfriend got as $25, a full $13 less than what we were charged ($38). We looked at each other and decided that while a small deviation in 'the math' might not be such a big deal, our bill here was clearly wrong. So we went inside.The greeter, who looked like she might be a co-owner or family of the owner, explained in a very nervous voice that it must be that they have two 'frutti di mare' dishes, with one, filet mignon, being the one that is $38. She appeared to quickly seize upon this fact, which made me think they have had this error before. The woman called out to another woman, a greeter and possibly waitress, who said she calculated the bill. She even more nervously got out a calculator and seemed to 'crunch the numbers', and instead of giving me back the $10 (as the added $9 also meant about an extra $1 in NY tax), she reduced the already high bill by just $6. I asked her how it is that an overcharge of $9, not including added NY sales tax, only gets me a reduction in the bill by $6. She then proceeded to explain to me that when she did the original (incorrect) bill, she 'undercharged' me $4 on the tax, charging me $8 instead of $12. I looked at her in bewilderment. In effect, she made two errors: (1) She overcharged me $9 on one meal and (2) She made an error in calculating the tax.One might think, at this point, that she would be a bit more apologetic and perhaps either comp part of the meal or provide a credit for a future meal. After all, this place seems to advertise itself or hold itself off as a fine, upscale dining establishment.Instead, she recalculated the tax in the restaurant's favor, adding an additional $3-$4 in taxes. It isn't that the recalculated tax was wrong. Rather, you would think that in order to keep a customer, for a measly $4, you would be willing to forego that modest increase in the bill, given that at this point it is clear that the math and accounting are obviously wrong. In other, finer restaurants I have been to, when an error is made and you let them know, they always make up for it as a comp or credit- never, as here, an increase of $4 in the tax.To make matters worse, while I was about to say nothing more, as I wait for my girlfriend to return, the woman proceeds to come up to me, to my face, and at this point I can tell she is nervous and maybe even angry, not at herself mind you, but at me for pointing out her error. She begins to effectively lecture me on how she came up with her numbers, I guess the second time around, and how she was justified in tacking on an added $4 in taxes the second time around, despite overcharging me nearly $10. I simply said that at any other establishment, they would have made this 'right', which here clearly was not the case. They were much more concerned about $4 than they were about keeping a repeat customer.For a restaurant that charges close to $30 a meal, and holds itself out to be 'fine dining', such poor customer service was unexpected. Great and even 'good' restaurants 'make it right', the customer being right. At this establishment, I got a middling meal and a lecture, not even an apology. At a fast food joint, this might not have been such a big deal, but when your meal is pushing $200, you expect a little more, and certainly not an 'in your face' lecture to top it all off.As an epilogue: I would highly advise that this establishment invest in a modern tabulating and accounting process or software. The friendly waiter we had came over and essentially realized that this error is not a new one. I have a feeling that where you have two errors in a hand-tabulated/calculated bill, you probably have many more on other customers' bills. This simply shouldn't be happening.I would also revamp the customer service at the front end of the restaurant. Own up to your mistakes, apologize, do not lecture, and 'make things right'. Certainly, don't be 'cheapskate' over $4 in taxes, when you already made a mistake.Dear Patron,Let me introduce myself as the owner of Trattoria Viviano and then apologize for the way your check was calculated and presented. Our price for Frutti di Mare is 28 not 38, our website does have a notation of "prices and menu subject to change" and I mention this only because you read an old price of 25. We do not have any pasta dishes priced at $38. If a patron requests for additional "higher priced" ingredients to be added to their selection then it could possibly come close to $38. The Irish Coffees should have been 12 not 14. You most certainly had every right in being upset and unfortunately I was not around or made aware of this situation until now as I have not been hostessing as much lately. Trattoria Viviano is approaching its tenth year in Warwick and I can tell you the number of check errors has been very very minimal and no this is not a common error. However once is bad enough and please believe I am sorry I was not there to handle the issued and make it right.I would appreciate if you would take a few minutes of your time to call me and discuss privately - 845 986-9611.Thank youRose Viviano

My wife and I visited Warwick on the way to Sugarloaf , NY and while walking around town we ran across Grappa Ristorante, so we decided to stop in for lunch on the patio.Our first happy surprise, they make an excellent White Sangria ( not to tart, not to sweet. ) The second, an excellent Mussels in a white wine garlic sauce ( we love thisAnitpasti so much we've been known to order a couple servings and skip the rest of a lunch menu.) Grappa's twist is the sauce is very creamy. For lunch I ordered a Grappa Wrap which I enjoyed because the Honey mustard sauce wasn't overly sweet ( sometimes a problem ). My wife had the Vegetarian Panini which she said was delicious and huge, almost equal to two sandwiches. We finished up with Cappuccino. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive and the service was verygood considering the kitchen is on the second floor of the restaurant and large platters were being transported down stairs. We really enjoyed the Grappa patio dining experience and will definitely be back on our next area visit.
