Tombolino Ristorante is a family-owned Italian-American dining room at 356 Kimball Avenue in southeast Yonkers, where tuxedo-clad servers, white-tablecloth service and classic cooking have drawn anniversary dinners, birthday toasts and business groups for more than three decades.
Executive chef and owner Pietro Siciliano runs the kitchen with help from his sons (Yelp). The menu sticks to familiar Italian-American territory: fresh pasta, risotto, chicken entrées, seafood, steak and soups, paired with a wine list the restaurant treats as a centerpiece. The service is formal but warm. One reviewer described Siciliano arranging an elegant dinner for a group of 20 on same-day notice (Tombolino). This flexibility explains why the restaurant also books private parties, catered events and celebrations.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Reserve ahead for Friday and Saturday nights and for holidays such as Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day, when special-occasion tables fill quickly. Weeknight dinners and lunch are calmer if you want unhurried service. Call ahead for large parties or private events so the staff can plan a set menu. Hours can change, so confirm them before you go. Takeout and delivery are available through MenuPages. Driving is the easiest way to get there, and the restaurant sits within easy reach of the Bronx and Mount Vernon borders.
