Happy Anniversary!

Here’s a little tidbit from my foodnotes column, which comes out tomorrow in our entertainment section, The Line:
Who doesn’t love to toast a celebration with a glass of champers? That’s what owners Michael Vivolo and Carlo Colaianni figured  they decided to offer each guest at La Riserva Trattoria in Larchmont a free glass of bubbly throughout the month of April. The partners are celebrating the 30th anniversary of the restaurant, and it must have been a good run, because Colaianni is set to retire.
Vivolo, who is chef and shares the kitchen with sous chef Michael Arminio, will carry on the tradition with such signature dishes as baked clams, gorgonzola polenta and gnocchi piacentina  a potato pasta with a creamy meat sauce with sage. Other specialties include veal chop alla Griglia, grilled veal chop with mushrooms and roasted potatoes; Gamberoni in Guazzetto, jumbo shrimp in white wine with lemon, butter, capers and mushrooms; Pollo Piemontese, with portobello mushrooms and brandy sauce; and Veal Verbena, topped with asparagus and mozzarella cheese.
Yankee fans won’t want to miss Pollo Joe Torre, boneless chicken sauteed with sausage, potatoes and cherry peppers, named after the Yankees manager, who they say is a frequent visitor.
La Riserva Trattoria, 2382 Boston Post Road, Larchmont. 914-834-5584.
