   Owner Paul Sandolo and Chef Daniel Rubino have both worked in this space before, when it was called Brio. But a new name has resulted in some changes to the feel, look, taste and even prices to reflect the new economy. Paul’s father, Mario, was the first to occupy the address when he opened John’s Best, a well-loved pizzeria and Mount Kisco favorite for over 30 years. To honor those years, Restaurant 353 serves some of the best artisanal pizzas on the planet, using only the finest and freshest ingredients that create a taste that cries out Italia! Italia! Sit at the bar and spend a few minutes with Paul, who enjoys regaling customers new and old alike with stories of the old days and ones just around the corner.  Chef Rubino has run and owned restaurants from the Caribbean to New York, where he trained some of the finest chefs in the world in the art of squeezing the most authentic tastes from every dish on the menu. That tradition has continued as Restaurant 353 turns out seasonal menus of great foods from every corner of the world. From tapas to salads, appetizers, main dishes and desserts, everything that comes out of the kitchen has the stamp of approval from the award-winning chef. Inventive dishes like his rolled Turkish cigars have become his signature, but creativity is paramount at Restaurant 353, so give his daily specials a taste and tell him if you think you’ve discovered his next signature dish. |
