Dubrovnik

Nestled along New Rochelle's more commercial streets, Dubrovnik is a real find—with the added bonus of live Croatian music on certain nights. Diners come from near and far to feast on their myriad of items from the wood-burning oven. Equally appealing is the interior design. Next door to the owner’s cabinetry business, everything here is custom-made. Attention to detail isn’t just a hallmark of their décor though; the menu follows close at hand, offering the likes of a Dalmatian platter with artisanal charcuterie; and crni rižoto, tender cuttlefish risotto. Orata grilled over wood charcoal is simply perfect, but those palačinke (crêpes with peach jam) result in sweet dreams.
Even the wine list, starring Croatian and other varietals, bear the owner's stamp.
