No awards or standout credentials on record, but a solid choice for a casual, shared meal in Yonkers.

La Lanterna's outdoor beer garden is the main reason to choose it over other Yonkers casual dining options, and the dual wine-and-beer focus makes it more flexible for groups than most local venues.

Rory Dolan's Restaurant & Bar on McLean Ave is a Yonkers neighborhood institution with a loyal, local crowd and a relaxed Irish pub atmosphere.
