Don Cheech

“This place was such a great experience from start to finish. The dining room is beautiful with warm lighting, a chandelier, and that classic upscale Italian feel. It's elegant but still comfortable, the kind of place where you can actually relax and enjoy your night. We started with the burrata and it was incredibly fresh and creamy, perfectly balanced with the tomatoes and basil. You can tell they focus on quality ingredients. The fried croquettes were crispy and flavorful with a great dipping sauce. Both appetizers set the tone right away. For dinner, the braised short rib pasta was rich and comforting with tender, flavorful meat. The veal with mushrooms was cooked perfectly and the sauce was smooth and balanced without being too heavy. Even the sides were done right, especially the Brussels sprouts which had a great caramelized finish. Every dish felt thoughtful and well executed. Service was attentive without hovering and the pacing of the meal felt just right. Overall, it was one of those dinners where everything came together. Great food, great atmosphere, and a place I'd definitely come back to.”

“First time here! The service was outstanding, the food spectacular. We came for the restaurant week special lunch. We will DEFINITELY be returning. Presentation and taste were amazing. Loved it ll. SECOND TIME: Even better than the first time. This time we came for the Prix Fix dinner. Large selection to choose from. Included appetizers, salad, main course and dessert for $39 per person. Service was spectacular and food was AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS.”

“Adrian, was our waiter for my Birthday dinner. He treated us with royalty and respect. The food was impeccable. My husband is from Brooklyn and he said this is the best restaurant he's ever tried on Staten Island. We will be back. Thank you Don Cheech for being so awesome!”
