Chazz Palminteri

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Name That Carries Weight

Chazz Palminteri on Main Street in White Plains brings the same spirit that made the New York City original a destination for Italian dining to Westchester County. The restaurant carries the name and identity of the celebrated actor and playwright, whose Bronx-Italian roots inform everything from the atmosphere to the food.

Italian Cooking, Seriously Done

The menu centers on Italian cuisine in a way that feels personal rather than generic — the kind of cooking that draws on tradition without being museum-piece about it. Expect the substance and confidence you associate with a New York Italian table: generous portions, well-sourced ingredients, and dishes that reward the regulars who come back for them.

A Cellar Worth Noting

The wine program earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2024, recognition that reflects genuine depth and curation. For an Italian restaurant, wine is never an afterthought, and the list here is built to match the food rather than simply accompany it.

Worth the Trip to White Plains

Whether you're coming for a weekday lunch or a proper dinner, Chazz Palminteri offers a room and a table that take Italian dining seriously — backed by a name with real New York roots and a wine list that has earned its credentials.
